Ramblings.

Well, today I went out of the house for the first time in a long time. Jim was bugging me to use the gift certifcate he had given me for Christmas. He was highly insulted that I had not used it yet.

Now, this certificate was for clothing...for which I have absolutely no interest other than a cover for my body, so as not to offend anybody. And I absolutely hate shopping. I try to avoid mirrors as much as possible.

Anyhoo, I digress. I did get two outfits. Of course they ended up costing more than the original gift certificate, but I figured 'Hey, if he's gonna make me shop, I'm gonna make him pay!". Only fair.

So...here are pictures of the two outfits I got, and God only knows where they will show up on this blog.

I got one red and black..and one blue and black...now the two black pants are not the same, but you can't tell from a picture.

Okay..here goes...posting picture! Naturally the frickin pictures turned out at the top of the post! Dang.

I don't feel like trying to manipulate them down here.

Anyhoo..I also got two new bras!!!!!!!!...Ones that actually work if you get my drift!

Evcn though Penningtons's is for the 'full figured' woman (aka fat), they have beautiful clothes, and the sales people are excellent. BTW..all the sales people are 'full figured'.

So, that's part of my ramblings.

Now....for the rest.

I have figured out that the months of January and February are the most dull, boring months of the year.

Probably March is too.

April 1st is when things start looking up. April is my favorite month. You know it's going to be spring soon, and things will start warming. Also April 1st is my birthday...April Fool's Day! I've always had an excuse for being a fool...hahahahaha. This year I will be 62....that's Capital 6 and Capital 2! Hard to believe. I thought I was still only 40. So far the two best times in life are age 28 and age 40.

Now I find myself acting like an old person. Grumbling at the new music...grumbling when kids are playing outside and disturbing my nap...grumbling about stupid commercials....starting to only watch CNN and CBC...oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone, please help me.

I am worrying myself to death about my kids. I'm turning into my Mother! Oh nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Take heed Mikki....this could happen to you!!!

Okay, I guess that's enough for now.

Hope you guys like my new clothes, which I will probably never wear since I never go out!

Talk to you all later....love....Marsh.

Hi Folks

Hi all, this is not me, but this is how I have been feeling. That's why I haven't been online for quite a while.
I've been fighting a bout of depression, and losing. I take medication for depression, but every now and then, a bout breaks out and I'm useless against it.
All I want to do is sleep. Every chore seems like a major effort. I can't read for any length of time..can't concentrate at all.
So I apologize for my absence from my adoring fans (as mikki says). I will be back when this passes.
Take care all....Love you all.

Silliest Grin Contest

These are the contestants for the Institute of Silly Grins (as opposed to the Institutes of Silly Walks)..sorry guys..only Monty Python fans will understand.

However, the point is..who is the winner of the Silliest Grin Contest????

Fireguy (on the left) or Little Clone of Todd Inkpen (aka Caitlyn) on the right?

Please feel free to vote without any repercussions.

Man, these pictures are funny...you know, I kill myself sometimes...hahahahahahahahahhaahhaa!

Oh..Sorry Fireguy!

Mouser

See this beautiful, fluffy, innocent looking creature, resting peacefully on his blue 'blankie'. Well, it appears he is a very good mouse killer! He killed my computer mouse!

All the time I thought he was sitting at my feet, while I was on the computer, I thought it was because he loved me so much and just wanted to be near me. But no! He was secretly chewing the mouse cord. Slowly, secretly, silently and deadly. Chewed the cord right through. Right in the middle of an important game....zap...no mouse!

But, now I have a new mouse and I like it. But I don't like the innocent looking little fluffy yellow thing anymore!!! Not really..I still like him, but I sure don't trust him.

Talk to you later.

Army Boy

The guy in the center is MY BABY BOY (aka Army boy or Paul). This was taken on Remembrance Day where he was part of the Honor Guard. He is my youngest child and my only boy, therefore he is 'the baby'.

My baby is leaving today for Kingston Ont, for a three week course..from whence he will then continue on to Afghanistan!. Oh, my heart!

The good news is, he is not actually going on a 'tour of duty' as they call it, which is usually six months. He is going to do a specific job, and should only be in Afghanistan for four to six weeks. He shouldn't be leaving base camp at all.

Now that's what he tells me. Now, his job is Mechanic..he repairs Tanks and all kinds of Armored Vehicles etc etc etc. So...is there only one tank broken down or what?

Not saying that he's prevaricating....but maybe it's a secret.

Anyway...he has to go.....and I have to live with it. My hair is already preparing to turn greyer.

Pray for him and all the boys and men over there. May they all return safely.

Thanks.
