Back home again...

and glad to be home. We had a great time playing spades, golf, and 63, and we had some great food, but it was clearly time to come home. Their high energy rubs off on people and hubby was getting too wired.
 
It was nice to spend some time with family and very nice to come home and to see our Jordan :)
 
Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend, and please drive safely!!!!
 
Hugs,

Tick Tock goes the clock

being the little insomniac that I am, I am waiting for my eyeballs to feel tired. I have to get up at 8:30 am to get ready for our trip to Tucson in the morning, sigh.
 
I have kept busy with laundry and chores, and here, but I guess I'm just  gonna have to go and count sheep or something. Hubby has been sleeping for a few hours now so I guess I better not wake him up. lol.
 
I know I'm also more anxious then normal as we have to find a new place to live and its not so easy as it use to be as so many apartments here either have already converted to condos or are going to so it is making the search much harder. Also prices in this area have gone up quite a bit. I know I am a worry wart. It's my job~
 
Ok, gonna try one more time to get some sleep.
 
TTFN and May God Bless You All,
Aly

Swimming is so relaxing

I love that we can go swimming here so often, especially since its so good for my fibromyalgia. The sun and water both feel great and it has helped maked my 'nudgy' feeling go away.
 
We are leaving around 10 in the morning for Tuscon to visit family and we are both looking forward to it. I might  have a little access to my sis's computer, but she does hog it abit, lol. Wonder where she gets that from, lol?
 
Well that's it for now. Taking our suits and will go swimming there as well. Now that I've started something good for myself, I don't want to quit~

A poem I wrote about September 11...

Since September 11th, 2001, we see madness abound.
People killed by the thousands.
Great buildings crashing.
So many families broken, so many wounded;
the dead under the rubble and ashes, crushed underground.
 
The hatred that brought our lives to a halt
is a symbol of the violence in the vacuous hearts of tyrannical men.
I wonder if we'll wake up together on another glorious morning,
or will we vanish in an instant, at the hands of fanatics?
 
We look to our leaders to bring us to safety:
A World where peace prevails, where fear and terrorism fails.
As citizens of Earth we will show what our freedom means.
Our cause is just, our justice thoughtful and swift.
 
Victory will be ours, freedom won,
though there is uncertainty at the setting sun.
As we put our loved ones to sleep at night,
we will be together again at dawn's first light.
 
"Our cause is just, our justice thoughtful and swift. - I wish that this thought, this hope, had come to pass, but so far, it has not."

Memorial Day Weekend

May 25, 2006 at 22:43 o\clock

Another tribute for Memorial Day

Praying for Peace, working for Peace, we must all engage somehow in this endeavor. Tears falling for all those who lost their lives not only on 9/11, but for all those men and women who have sacrificed their lives so that we may continue to live our lives ' /FREE  '.

Slept in this morning and now I have to get my tush in gear

 
Laundry has to be done, some light packing of clothes and etc for our short trip to Tucson, a swim, and taking care of food, water and etc for Jordan while we are away. We've decided to leave early in the am to save a day on renting a car. Our car we are saving just for work and around town due to its age and mileage.
 
Hope everyone has something planned for this Memorial Day weekend. Remembering those we have loved and lost with love warms the soul. Consoling those who need consoling, is also a good thing.
 
Hugs and Peace to all,
 
Aly

The link they gave me to post for people who would like to chat with me is:
 
 
Since I just did this, it is definitely in the experimental stage, lol. If you would like to chat, let me know so I can go online. Thanks!

I always cry when I see a video from 9/11

Mood: teary

This one also made me cry, for so many reasons. For the horror of what happened, for the chaos since, for the terror that still reaches out its tentacles all around the world, and for the seemingly endless battle against it.
 
May God Bless all the familes that lost so much on that day with some measure of peace, and love, and hope for their future.
 
May all good people around the world learn from this day, and prepare for a more peaceful future. Hatred and Violence simply can't continue to rule our earth, or we will all diminish.
 
Hugs,
Aly

Luggage damaged during our last trip

We received a call last night informing us that the airline was unable to repair our hang-up bag and they will be replacing it with a 200 dollar Samsonite hang-up bag, so that was good news as that was our best bag we owned period.
 
It was nice not to be hassled and that they are just taking care of it. The airline is US Airways.

Regarding Lillian Vernon

I am just curious if anyone has made use of the Lillian Vernon catalog link here?
 
If no one is interested I guess I can just cancel the affiliation. I have never heard anything from them at all.
 
Gracias,

Lots accomplished tonight :)

A movie returned and another one rented, Transamerica, and groceries purchased, the mouse bought, and dinner out.
 
Our extra unexpected time together proved to be very useful. I've taken allergy medicine and a nasal spray so I'm not feeling so heavy in the chest, no pun intended there, lol.
 
Our Diamondbacks won another game, so I'm not so grouchy! Good thing as I don't want to be a biatch to my hubby, smile!

We are off to buy a new mouse for me

as hubby doesn't want to see anything flying out the window and he's afraid I'll take over his computer, lol.
 
I need a haircut too and so does he but I'm guessing that isn't going to happen today. We also need to grocery shop.
 
I think we better buy a lotto ticket as we need some assistance with all these things going on in our life at the same time.
 
Later folks!
