My frustration with what I cannot find has grown almost too big for me to deal with.
I just want to FIND someone to make this or do that or tell me this or sell me that.
And the things I want are NOT THAT OUT OF THE ORDINARY!!!

I’d like to find an event or party planner.
I’d like to find someone who can build me a deck. And will understand what I want. And be willing to try something new. And be excited about it.
I’d like to go into a store and have them be interested in having a customer.
I’d like to call my cell phone company and have a human answer the phone.
I’d like to have my Sunday newspaper thrown onto my porch instead of in the gutter at the end of the driveway.
I’d like to buy the garbage sacks, dog food and tea I like at my local grocery store.
I’d like Charmin to make the single ply TP again.
I’d like flowers to SMELL like flowers.

And while I’m not yet done feeling like being queen of all things, here’s a few more!

I’d like EVERYONE to drive SIXTY MILES PER HOUR on Highway 133.
If EVERYONE drove the speed limit, it wouldn’t be such a crappy commute to and from Omaha.
But if you are unable to drive SIXTY and instead prefer to lollagag along at FIFTY, just pull over and let the long line of speed limit drivers behind you go in front of you.

I’d like people to realize that there is a left and right side to a grocery aisle. Not a middle lane. Put your cart on one side or the other.

Ahhhh. Now I feel better. Is there a website out there where you can just complain and then someone will send you an e-mail saying you are right and we are sorry???
That would be SWEET!!!!

was NOT a cruise.
I left my camera in the backseat of my parents car when they dropped us off at the airport in Boca Raton. I am rarely without my camera and I felt a bit naked on the cruise. I’m usually BEHIND the lens, looking at events, people and scenery though the small lens.
I must admit, it was pretty freeing to not use the camera. I had no choice. I didn’t have it……and I didn’t need to buy a new one because it was not LOST, just not on vacation with me.
Here’s the last remnants of Christmas from the disc left in the camera…..

My brother’s dog, Winston Cup, takes the wrapping paper from Grandma Florida. (look how pretty my mom looks!)

My brother loves NASCAR…hence the dog’s name (Winston Cup). This is his pose.
(oh Brother….!)

We did some Re-Gifting this year of the BEST gift. These boxes were shared with several families and got great laughs.

This almost beats the year that my uncles got everyone their own steering wheel!!!!

Nathan got these from TheOnion.com and they are now sold out. But man, were they FUNny!!! You could spend 20 minutes reading the funny box.

I admit. I’m easily entertained.

When Navy Seal was a bitty little boy, he was always looking for "My Meg".
Our kids have ALWAYS gotten along. They are 4 years apart and are pretty good friends.
And, as all families do, we love the words and phrases our kids used as KIDS and we—the parents—STILL use those words.
Nee-Nee is Ice Cream.
Maga is Grandma Lynnette.
Matt Do is my favorite from Matt.
Emily said "Sout" for Scout when she was little.
The KIDS no longer use these words and phrases.
Dan and I DO!!!!

And lately, we’ve all been saying,
"Where My Meg"?

She’s on a college trip to Berlin.
We hardly ever hear from her. And she has a cold. And this mama worries.
But she’ll be fine.

And I’ll be FINE.

I’m doing 55 cents a minute internet on the boat because I’m waiting for the 3:00 afternoon feed trough to open.
And because I’m lame.

Navy Seal is Scuba Diving.
The Pilot is Deep Sea Fishing.
I took a cooking class.

I having a fine time. It’s just fine here at sea.
Fine.

Really.
I’m having a fine time.
