Hugs can be fun or not...

Just expirenced my first MS hug yesterday, well for those who wonder what it feels like.. let me tell ya
    lets say that you are wearing a 12" wide belt around you, make it as tight as you can.. and leave it there for the entire day. Thats the not fun Hugg.

Now for the awesome news...  my daughter is getting married. Sometime early next year, my baby girl will be a married woman and living clear across the country with her man. Now all I have to remember, like she always said... its only a short plane trip ride away.

Well, have a great day everyone.. will post more later, right now I am taking advantage of the energy I have to do something constructive.. like housework.

Missing some in CA

We went to CA over the weekend, to visit the kids. Saw some old relatives we havent seen in ages. Wow where does the time go.
Also Sarah is getting married sometime early next year. Now thats going to be hard, since she will be moving all the way to Florida. Sure, I have my sons still in CA, but Cliff will be on the road trucking and Eric is married, I suppose thats all part of growing  up. Feel sad sometimes, but then I have to remember, they are only a airplane ride away.
My MS acted up some, while visiting them, but they are starting to understand that its very unpredictable everyday, and I am learning that MS lives with me now, and I need to learn to adjust so it does not take control of my daily activities.
Well off to start some sewing, seems I need to start designing a quilt for Sarah as a wedding gift, more details soon.

Lifes a Journey, enjoy it to the fullest!

heat.. nice for you to visit.. now go away

Sorry, I missed my post yesterday, spent most of the day on the road traveling.
The morning started off early out the door to go to Vegas, and get some Hatch New Mexico green chilis and have them roasted. Craig had gone the week before and took him about 20 minutes in line and even turned around stood in line to get another 30 pounds.  Well yesterday, thinking he could do the same... not! He stood in line 3hrs. I stayed in the truck with the girls, the heat is pure evil, nasty and not so fun.
Finally after getting the chilis we were able to get on the road to go see the kids.
Last night we sliced up some tri-tip and added some of the green chilis and slopped it on a bun.. yummy. I know I said I was not going to eat any red beef, but could not resist. Thats ok, its not like we eat beef all the time.
Oh and by the way... 60 pounds of chilis after they have been roasted gets ya about 15 pounds. We use a vaccume sealer and freeze them.

Craig loves to cook, so he is always has me googling for new recipes. I found one green chili verde recipe, that is absolutely wonderful... I love the spices, just melts in your  mouth
Kathouse Chili Verde

I started reading my MS for Dummies book, great info in there.. some stuff that I already have been expierencing as I am learning to adjust with this monster that decided it wanted to disrupt my life. I told Craig we need to move to Alaska, the heat and bright sun.. is pure evil. He said the girls could not take the cold.

Well off to start another day.. just takin it one step at a time.

another thought to ponder on

" When was the last time you asked a question like this: "Why did this happen to me?" or "I don't understand why." Please remember, it's not what happens to us but the meaning we associate with the circumstances that will determine whether we will be successful and happy or the opposite. In all circumstances, reach for the better thoughts regardless of how hard it my be at first. Look for the better meaning and the positive aspect in all things. Use your circumstances always as a way to grow as a person and evolve to your greatest potential."

Quick thought

" When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude."

Blah, blah, blah

Was today a good day, even when I was told I can see my reg Neuro, then told by my insurance I have to see a different one. *sighs*

New adventures in the feed store and Albertsons

I decided to go to the feed store in town today to get my girls some food.
And I made a note.. from now on, remove hearing aids.. too much noise from the birds that used to never bother me.. now do.
Then decided to go to Albertson, which I never do.. and another note I made...  remove hearing aids, too many people, noise.. I guess I am not made to be around alot of people and noise when I am have a lil set back.
