Day 9

Gail — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 02:00:32 +0000

Today is day number nine of being smoke free. It hasn’t been too awfully bad so far. I’ve been told that the first 3 weeks are the worst so I have a ways to go, but it’s looking good at this point. Been chewing a lot of gum and have ruined a few pencils from biting on them. LOL

Putting Them Down Once and For All

Gail — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:28:30 +0000

New Year’s Resolutions have never really been my cup of tea. But this year I am diving in, head first, with the promise of putting down the smoking of cigarettes that I have been participating in for way too long. The price of tobacco products has just gotten crazy and I’m tired of paying the high prices for something that is totally unhealthy for me. Wish me luck!

Christmas Cheer

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Our plans include a short visit with family Christmas morning and then an afternoon at home cooking a nice Christmas dinner and baking some cookies. I have been baking cookies every few days for the past couple of weeks and they never last more than one night! So my vision of having a big plates of assorted cookies on Christmas is just not going to happen. But I will have some kind of cookies on a plate tonight – and then I will have to stop baking for a couple of months while we all go on diets to lose these extra 10 pounds we have gained since Thanksgiving!

Bye-Bye Verizon

It has been a long two year relationship with Verizon, my current cell phone provider. I can’t wait for the end of November to get here so I can finally say “Goodbye and Good Riddance” to anything to do with Verizon once and for all. I have heard that there are several websites that you can do comparison shopping with numerous cell phone providers and their plans and their phones that they have to offer and I plan on spending some time here real soon looking for them and seeing if they can help me find the best deal possible for my wants and needs.

Happy Birthday America

Gail — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 20:06:31 +0000

I love the way America celebrates her birthday with fireworks. I wish that would become an America tradition for everyone to celebrate their birthday. But so many places have outlawed fireworks, that would never work. At least there are still some places where you celebrate birthdays with fireworks, even if it is only America’s birthday.

The Oscars

Gail — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 23:30:21 +0000

Tonight is the live Academy Awards show from Hollywood. I can’t wait to watch the show and see which of my favorite movies and actors win the Oscars tonight. I have great hopes for the Social Network, but also the Kings Speech. I would love to see Annette Bening win, too. Oh, this will be an interesting night!

Be My Valentine

Hello, 2011!

Gail — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 07:45:20 +0000

Short and sweet, right to the point, just like their products!

Keep it safe folks.

Oh Tannenbaum

Gail — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 02:02:23 +0000

This year I decided to do my Christmas tree in all white, with a little blue. I had bought the tree pre-lit with white bulbs, and they are still all working, so that was a good start. When I unpacked the decorations, I just decided to set aside the color ones and stick with the blue, white and gold. I love the look!

Jelly Beans

Gail — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 01:17:57 +0000

The stores are full of Easter candy, even though Easter is 2 weeks away. My favorite Easter candy has always been the jelly beans. You might be able to buy jelly beans throughout the year, but it never seems appropriate to buy them except at Easter. Weird, I know.
