Syonara 2013, Hola 2014

As we end 2013... We welcome in 2014

As I sit here contemplating what happened in the year of our Lord 2013. I just hope I do not have to revisit it EVER again. If you have been following my blog you know what I mean.

I tried to be a better person to those around me in 2013.  I hope I succeed.  I try my best everyday to do the right thing.

Just a little recap for those of you that follow this blog,

January 2013, January 14, 2013 to be exact. My Dad had a heart attack.  Suffice to say he spent 2 weeks in HCA Blake Hospital.  I went faithfully every day sometimes 2 to visit him.  Then he spent the next 2 weeks in a Rehab facility out in the don books of town.

Feb 16 2013 Saw Dad coming home, un be knowest to me he signed himself out of said rehab.  He walked out no walker no wheel chair nothing.  I drove him home and did so happily.

July 3,2013 Saw a new car for myself, a new Ford Focus SE, It's a very nice car.  It was an early birthday present from my folks.  

September 1 2013, Mom faints in the morning.  Has not happened since but would love to know why it happened.

October, November and December have been relatively quite.  I have joined a few dating sites but as of yet nothing.  I think I am going to unsubscribe after the new year.  I am not having the type of luck I would like too at meeting people.

I am going to try to blog more in 2014.

Peace and Blessings to all.

Dec 25 2013  Merry Christmas and A very Happy 2014

As the song "Sunny and 75" that is exactly what it is here in paradise :) 
 


I should post more.  It just my life is not that all exciting.  I am still attempting to lose the last 25 pounds.  I have switched milks.  I know drink Almond milk. It is not that bad.  I don't deprive my self of the foods I like.  I only eat one pancake instead of 2 or 3.  And I freeze the remaining pancakes for later.  

For a very early Birthday present, My parents purchased for me a 2013 Ford Focus.  It is very different than the Dodge Neon.  Ford designers put things in different places than dodge. But I am getting used to it.  


It is incredible the things you forget if you don't use them.  Just recently I downloaded amazon cloud music server.  I found some pretty Christmas Carols. Now if I am able to put them on a CD I will be golden.  

I am refining my cooking skills more and more.  I enjoy making meatloaf, Mac and Cheese is my favorite.  Baking is also a favorite past time of mine.  My three staples in the baking department are Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin, and a very easy Shortbread/Sugar Cookie that I bake.  

I have signed up for a couple of dating site.  I don't think I am going to find my soul mate. Maybe I am not supposed to find him.  It would be nice to grow older with someone.  

I think my biggest fear is growing older alone.  I think I am not alone in that endeavor.  
If I am supposed to find him that will be terrific. But if I don't I am fine with it also.

MUST LOVE COFFEE: LIFE!!! AND THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG EVER

MUST LOVE COFFEE: LIFE!!! AND THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG EVER: Hi All, This is my first blog I have ever written.. I have wanted to write one for sometime.  Now seems a good as time as any. My last wee...

Second Post, August 18 2013

I guess it has been awhile since, I have posted something to this blog...
I hope I am doing this right.
Second day of not having a dish washer. Ours flooded the kitchen Friday night.  Just what I wanted to do Friday night, after a LONG day taking parents here and there.  NOT...

But I did it.  Mopped the kitchen.  And every since then we have been eating our main meals on paper plates and paper cups.  Only time I want todo this in when they is a Hurricane pounding down on us and we have to.  I am trying with all my might to convince my mother to buy a new dishwasher.  Maybe if I keep after her she will.  I know what dad wants to do, put a band aid on it. By having the family plumber come out.

If it had been up to me. I would have gone out Saturday morning to the local appliance store and bought a new dish washer, had the old one hauled away and new one put in. Sure we would have been inconvenienced a little bit.  But sure would have been better than putting up with this.  Which is beginning to grate on my very last nerve.

Looks to be a pretty day here in paradise.  Maybe I will get in a bike ride after dinner if I am extremely lucky.  I try and ride my bike couple times a week.  Payed mega bucks for the bike. Might as well use it.
Gas prices get to be much higher around here. I am getting a golf cart to get errands around town done.  Mom thinks I am joking I am not.

okay,
Peace and Blessings
Edie

LIFE!!! AND THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG EVER

Hi All,
This is my first blog I have ever written.. I have wanted to write one for sometime.  Now seems a good as time as any.
My last week has not been so great.  My father went into the hospital on Monday afternoon early evening ish.  I may change the format of this blog.  If I can figure out how to change the format. The title will be the same.
I love my parents very much.  Tho, they may not see it!
I have lost alot of friends along the way.  Whether it be life, or whether not I pushed them away.  They could have just walk away on their own.  I don't know... I think Paul Harvey said it best... If you have three friends at the end of your life you are doing well. I don't even have that many anymore.  
As it says in the title Must love coffee, and I surely hope that those reading this enjoy listening to country music as well. 
That is another love of mine country music.    I hope country music and coffee go together.  
well, If I learn how to post a picture or a background image.  I may put a widget on here.  okay I will post more later....
