Birthday Party

Today my family went to my niece's 2nd birthday party. All my grandparents were there, my grandfather went, which was a surprise because he doesn't like to leave home. One of my brother's in-laws had never met him. He introduced himself to her and pointed at my grandmother and said, "Over there's my woman." To which my grandmother replied: "Well, where's your wife?"




A little while later both my grandmothers were having a conversation. My other grandmother told Cille she remembered her when she was young and thought she was a beautiful woman to which Cille replied: "What's the matter with me now?"

    I loved to sit and hear my elders tell stories of the past. Now I guess I am the elder and I hope my grandchildren find me as interesting as I found my grandparents. Thanks for following. I am following back with GFC.

    Your blog posts definitely need to be compiled into a book (I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this).

    Love it!

    Hilarious. My mother-in-law has Alzheimer's. Yes, it's an awful disease, but it does make for some very funny moments. I love your stories!!

Hospital Stay

My grandmother had to go to the ER today because she was having trouble breathing. When the doctor came in and told her she needed to stay a day or two for observation, she proclaimed this in front of him: "SHIT! You mean I have to stay? I didn't come up here to stay."

Maybe I'll Exercise

At my check-up the nurse practitioner asked if the neurontin I take helps. I told her yes, it helps my leg. Scott thinks it also helps my mood, but I happen to think my mood is PRETTY FREAKIN' PEACHY anyway. The nurse also went over a self care checklist with me: "Do you smoke?" No "Do you eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables every day?" No "Do you exercise at least 30 minutes every day?" No (See a theme here?) "Do you sleep at least 7 hours at night?" No  "How much alcohol do you drink?" Not enough Nurse: "Ok, you have to have at least one goal to on this list to improve your self care. Which one do you want to work on?" Me: "Oh geez, I guess I'll try to exercise more. Maybe."  I know I need to take better care of myself, I'm a chubby little monkey and my eating habits aren't so great. But COME ON exercising is about as exciting as watching paint dry and Chips Ahoy takes waaay better th...
