It is not my fault. REALLY! Blame James Bond and my DH rofl.

Today is the only time he said I had a chance to watch Casino Royal. YES I have not watched it yet lol. Sorry for you die hard fans lol. But we want to go to the movies on the WE to see Quantum solace (sp) and since it is suppose to start 30 minutes after this one takes off. Well you now know why I am late lol.

I am OK hahaha not often that I get orders to watch TV. Let alone start my day out with it. I LIKE IT lol

Wishing you all as much fun as my day started out with ;-)

Shawn thanks to your beautiful pictures of your christmas cacties (sp), I went out and got me this one at Walmart of course:

What do you guys think. Should Walmart pay us for advertising for their product all the time? rofl

Have a cheery day no matter what

waving to all of you

that is beautiful Lucy!!!! I couldn't find one last year and I really really wanted one. But I did get clippings about a month ago so hopefully I will have blooms next year. Another test today, hope it turns out as well as the last, this semester will be over on the 9th. My DD was driving me insane today, wanted me to check her out of school today so she could stay there and work in the theathre, I would have had to tell a fib to do it, went back and forth and finally told her not to do it after she was already on the bus and has note in hand......I don't need all this drama LOL on a test day. On a more serious note I could use prayers for my 15yo. She has the chicken pox virus in her left eye (it will never go away), it flared up 2 years ago and had to take antiviral medication for a year. Well now we are almost to the year mark of no meds and her eye is red, so she is going to the ophthalmologist today when I get out of school. I really hope it is something other than the virus last time she had to take eye drops every hour while at school, and with the schools no drug policy she had to go to the office every hour to take her meds, they wouldn't let her carry her eye drops in her purse. Sorry to rant just nervous energy this Am. Trying hard to get focused.

OT: picture of the day : yellow Kangaroo Paw

Hello Lucy! Nice blooms. I have some kangaroo paws in ground. They are actually very fussy plants. They are from parts in Australia where they experience regular, prolonged drought. They often go dormant in the summer, so summer water will kill them. I have mine on a drip irrigation system and they receive minimal water in the summer, but they also have excellent drainage, so the water just keeps them from going dormant. They are an excellent plant for xeric gardens. I have mine growing alongside aloes, agaves, beschorneria, ice plants, yuccas, sedums...all of which have similar water needs. One other thing, they are very suceptible to a kind of fungus if they are watered overhead. That's why I have mine on a drip system. Do a google search to find out more infomation on them. They are also fussy about soil PH requirements I think. Good luck! Note: If you remove spent blooms, most varieties will rebloom for you.

Beautiful RED bloom Lucy that should bring joy to all, including you! I have a Papillion somewhere -- really should take care of it. Did you see that program where they make all this fancy designs in coffee? I've been wanting to go there, think it's in Pasadena. They just said it was expensive, but I guess one could eat at home, and then just treat yourself to a cup of expensive coffee just for fun!

Oh no...LOWES is open? darn and I just let DH take my truck lol. But I am almost done catching up here and then I go clean the garage. Steve, the guy who put our new windows in. FINALLY has time to install the new side garage door. It needs a new framework and he did such a good job on the patio door. That DH refused to have anyone else do that door. I am so excited. The beginning of the new year is looking good. If I forget for a moment that it took 2 hours to get online hahahaha What a timing also. Just when I am painting the house by that door. Perfect. This way I do not have to redo it later. Well Lowes will have to wait. But I do need to get soil for all the seeds I want to start. Have fun and watch out for that weather Kristy. Lucy

I found my missing Fall bin! I had previously said if I (later on) found it in my Christmas storage, I'd scream loud enough for you to hear. Well I did find it with other Christmas bins....thankfully now instead of in Dec... but I almost screamed anyway! You see the "Gi-normous" blue bin? It is totally FULL of Fall. It feels like bricks are in there, I could barely drag from garage into family room! I didn't do anything so far but lift the lid to confirm it was Fall. The size and weight of this thing is REALLY scary! Especially as I unpacked 4 other Fall bins, the size of the green one, and you saw how much I've decorated. Holy Purple Cow! Maybe this one should have STAYED missing! Sheesh. It was in one of the places I'd looked THREE times already. Guess one should never stop looking, huh? I have a corner in the garage with Christmas bins, most all the size of the green one cause that is an easy size for me to lift and carry. Tho I do have some the next size up for garlands as I have so many of them. This blue one, needless to say, was on the bottom of the stack. And I was POSITIVE all my big Xmas garlands were stored in there. POSITIVE, I tell you! Of course if I had any working brain cells left, when I put it out there last year and had clearly written FALL on it in a big black marker, I'd have made sure the lettering faced the FRONT and not the garage wall. Arrrrrggghhhh. Anyway, this evening, out of frustration after previously checking all the green bins before... without having to move any of them... I moved all of them and looked in the blue one just to prove to myself it did hold the Xmas garland. Wish you'd seen my face when I saw what I saw. And glad I couldn't see the look of horror that it must have showed. Especially when I went to move it. (I swear there has to be bricks in there!!) I probably will have to drag it out on the back porch in the morning as I can't have it, or a mess of stuff, in my family-room cause company is coming over. The man who wrote Jason's book is coming back to go thru my photos, and the memorabilia (articles, magazines, etc) I've collected since he was burned. He'll probably be here around 2 hrs. The book is at the publisher waiting for photos. Will be ready to order soon hopefully. (Jas and Russ both will sign copies for any of you who want it by the way. Unfortunately I don't know the price yet) Well, my back is screaming at me for dragging that bin and moving all the others full of Xmas things, so I better go move around and treat myself to some Vicodin. If I was smart I'd throw them out and get some Vodka. LOL. Probably be cheaper and I'd probably be more fun to be around. hugs, Karen PS...Marlene, how neat you and I almost share the same anniversary day.

Lucy, I'm glad you are happy with your Christmas cactus! Whatever makes you happy, means you will make us happy, LOL!

What is Casino Royal?

Mary, knowing you will do great in your test today, with or without drama from the kids. Sorry about your 15 y.o.'s situation. I've never heard of cpv in the eyes, but pray she will be totally freed from it, and that today when she goes to the doc it will turn out to be something minor.

Mary I have No doubt in my mind that you will do GREAT this time also! No fingers crossing needed. You will do it!
Daughter just called and ask me to meditate for her. So I will meditate for your daughter also and say a prayer.

Eloise thank you so much. You just put a smile on my face. Love sharing my happiness cause it comes back to me over and over. Just think. I am ONE...and get back happiness from ALL! Greatest feeling!

Once again, you started us off with a pretty pic. That's a nice Christmas Cactus.

Bond??? You started your day with Bond??? Now there's some eye candy. LMAO My favorite Bond was Sean until Pierce came along and oh hon, he is sooooo fine. Both are tied for the top spot with me.

Mary, hope you ace that test today and hope your DD don't have cpv again.

Everyone have a bright, cheerful day, it's a beautiful one here.

Thanks for the well wishes guys, I think the test went OK, in my earlier rant I left out the weird dreams I had last night about the test, my daughter got a big kick out of them. As for my daughters eye it was just as we thought. I think she is some sort freak of nature (she would actually like being called that) Both of my girls had chicken pox twice. Now my 15 year actually has herpes simplex in her eye. Since she got it in middle school we have always called it chicken pox since it is the same virus and you know how middle schoolers can be, I don't know that high schoolers are much different. Tomorrow I get to go talk to the school cause she has to use eye drops every 2 hours. And with their no tolerance for drugs she can't carry her eye drops with out getting in trouble, we have already been in trouble once for tylenol so a second offense no matter how benign it is will get her suspended. They also put her back on her acyclovir last time she took it for a year. Last New Years Day was the last time she took any meds. We caught it much earlier this time so hopefully she won't have to take the meds as long. She wasn't as upset this time last time she cried for hours, the doctor we went to immediately started talking about a cornea transplant. We have since switched doctors, one that actually talks to her before he talks to me and even remembered what instrument she plays in the band, and every time I see him at the hospital he ask about her. It is so nice to have a doctor that actually cares about his patient.

Lucy, nice cactus. I've been watching those at Walmart too but have not broke down to buy one yet.

Mary, I'm so glad your daughter is fine and only needs to continue the use of eye drops. Schools sure crack down on strange things these days...wow!

Let me tell you about the 'James Bond' influence in our house:

Our oldest son's name is 'Ian' (for Ian Fleming, writer 007)
& the other son's name is 'Sean' (for Sean Connery)!!!!!
