Yep, tomorrow I am marching into the eye doctor's office and declaring my freedom from Strong Medicine in the form of exorbitantly expensive eye drops. I don't suppose anybody is still reading this blog after my nearly month long absence, but just in case....bonus points for why I am humming
"give it a giggle instead of a sigh...."
(hint: election related)
Alrighty then, here's the GOOD news:
I've carted off significant baggage to Goodwill and made a dent in my piles o paperwork. It is ever so much easier to purge the paper files when you can't read the small print.
I have received some incredible packages in the mail for which I am woefully behind on thank you notes. The story of my life. You can ask my Mother. (or not)
The oookiest thing happened the other night...
I was flipping through the channels trying to avoid the nasty election commercials and I landed on Meg Ryan hanging Christmas ornaments on a tree and a voice over saying "I never missed my Mother more..."
cue the Universe.
Yep. Phone rings at That Very Instant, and it is my Mother.
(who very rarely calls, by the way....)
It's altogether ooky, I'm telling you.
Did anybody else wish for a Mother more like Morticia, or was it just ME?
Back to regular posting by Friday, that's my GOAL.
mwah!
No bonus points for me save maybe I live somewhere that hasn't got an election looming :0) But a month long absense is no reason not to pop in daily...have to keep your stats alive ha-ha, and anyway thinking and sending love doesn't need you to post to happen. As always much love

So glad that you are back, and I'm happy to hear that you are taking charge. LOL, I chuckled when I read about Morticia because yes, I remember having that fantasy at some point! I still think it would certainly be interesting, and I do believe she was a knitter, although I can't remember if that tidbit came from the original or the movie.

Morticia--my dream mom. TV Morticia--Caroline. . .last name escapes me. Drop dead (ha!) gorgeous, blithe, righteously indignant--loved that woman.
Nice to hear from you. Hope you're on the healthy track.

Morticia? That one surprised me. Hee!
So glad to hear that your spirits are up -- know that you're loved, dear girl.

Girlfriend...finally some results for you!
Well you've at the very least been productive in you absence from the blog!
And yes...to those wondering...I do believe in the old B&W series Morticia did indeed knit.
Blessings....
