End of the week end

and it's been such a beautiful week end too, such pretty days, warm and sunny, and at night cooler and crisp, and the smells, oh, the smells are so delicious ! I didn't do a thing on Saturday, got up, showered, had coffee and winston and i went back to bed for the morning, and just listened to music and cuddled, and he's such a good cuddler too !

Then, in the afternoon, I read a bit of the book I'm reading, Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich, it's funny and just the right amount of sexuality, she's a funny author, writes about what I would write, check her out sometime, used books at amazon.com are great, then there's the library too...i get books from both, actually, just got the book by Tom Brokaw, called "BOOM" and it's another yet look at the decade of the 60's, which are referred to as the "scizophrenic decade" beginning with the innocence of "leave it to beaver" and "lassie", then the deaths of the Kennedy's and Martin Luther King, the introduction of the hula hoop, drive in movies, then the war, protests, killing of the student's at Kent State, our own cops killed our own students, for just being together and a car back fired, and they shot these kids...to pot, psychodelic episodes, just a huge change in the times in those short 10 years, and we lived through it and were not that aware living in a small town, starting families, we were so innocent yet back then, but, the world was spinning, we understand a lot better now what that war was about, Money, Money, Money !!!!

whew, where did that come from???? i dunno !!!! back to the week end in review for now....
Saturday night was sort of boring, actually, now with stan it's gotten very boring, he doesn't want to do anything any more, just fall asleep in his chair with his mouth open and snore so i can't hear t.v. lol

so, saturday, i had the satellite connection moved from Laurens room to the room i'm in now, in anticipation for the surgery, but just for now so i have a place of my own to go, Stan never wanted the t.v. in the bedroom, he's bothered by a little night light...so, now in my own room, i play my own radio, listen to my own t.v., and snore myself to sleep in peace and i just love it...
I had forgotten how nice it is to just sleep by yourself and not hear another person, not feel them move around, go to the potty during the night, or hear them get up before your ready to, so, i'm happy !!!!

Today, Winston and I went for a long ride, he loves to go bye bye with his mommy, then home to read, and i fixed the coolest meatloaf this p.m., I made the mixture as always, onion, egg, garlic, bread crumbs and salt/pepper, tomato sauce, but, this time, i made muffin pan size balls, baked at 350 for 40 minutes, then made a glaze out of tomato sauce, worshteshire sauce and guldens mustard, mixed it all together, and painted it on the balls, and let it stay in the oven for about 10 more minutes, and it was just yummy, little individual meatloafs, from 2.3 # of ground round, i got 24 balls, baked 12 and put the other 12 on a cookie sheet in the freezer to freeze, now put them in a bowl for next time. will thaw them in the fridge for a day and then bake them, so the work is done for the next time already...

Sandy called tonight, and the girls get together is at her house, next Saturday night in the country south of streator, call her for directions, you have her number if your local and invited, or if you want to go, call me and i'll give you her phone number...it's gonna be a lot of fun, and we will celebrate my upcoming surgery and impending split from stan, a fun night, and i "plan" to spend the night in Streator, so spend it with me !!

I also have changed my mind about the surgery, not to cancel it, but move it up, will call the doc tomorrow and let them know, i'm ready whenever they are, i was gonna wait till the end of october, but i want it sooner, i want to begin healing asap, and get on wih life, my foot has slowed me down and stopped me for years from doing things, and my friend, Darrelle and I decided Friday night, we are going to Europe, i've wanted to return since Justine and I left, and when my foot/ankle is fixed, i can do just that....why wait? till we "save" the money, that will never happen, so, we both figure we will just charge it, and if we die before we pay it off, who cares????? in fact, my new theory is just this: if you want something, or want to do something, do it for yourself, not for anyone else, you don't "need" someone to go along with you, your memory of it is just that, "your" own memory, life is so short...i'm changing the way i look at things from now on, a more positive outlook, and I'm doing what "I" want to do, other than breaking the law, and I don't want to break any laws, but, no one can get blood out of a turnip and i don't have a thing, oh, furniture and a dog, but, no property, and i probably won't have any, no savings, and i won't have any, will live from check to check for the rest of my days, as most americans do, and if i can't take care of myself, the damn government will just have to, i've paid my dues, haven't you????? just be smart and protect what you do have from the IRS or anyone else, for your kids sakes, and screw it and have fun !!!!!
so, back to my ankle, i'm getting it fixed as soon as the doc has an open slot, i'll let you know next blog when that will be, so, cross of October 30 for the flowers and chocolates, it will be sooner...

Well, i don't have anything more interesting to write tonight, but next few days are promising to be busy at least....doc appt on Tuesday, lab and dentist on Thurs, Harvest Days on Saturday daytime and sandy's that night, with good friends, I hope, or not...at least Sandy, June and I will be there, and we always have fun bashing men!!! If your not there, we will bash you toooo, so best be there !!!!

I find i'm really ansty to get packing and get moved, to just decorate a place of my own, my own tastes, arrangements, no criticism, the music i like, and just winston and i, it's gonna be nice, where ever i end up...you will be able to call 24 hours a day then, no 10:15 cut off, i answer 24 hours a day and like to get up and go out for coffee at 1 a.m. and such !! FREEDOM !!
No curfew, no rules, restrictions, and no make up on days i don't want to put it on....

I think your pretty lucky to know me, cuz, if i send this to you, i would do anything for you, anytime, all you need do is ask, and the door is always open to you....

you have a terrific week, this week and look for me again soon, i haven't recieved any letter from you for a while, and i'd sure like one...

Sherry and Winston
