I kinda liked this.....................
Andy Rooney says:As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:1) A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.2) If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.3) A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing.4) Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can getaway with it.5) Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.6) A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends.A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women.7) Women over 40 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.8) Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They always know.9) A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.10) Older women are forthright and honest They'll tell you right off If you are a jerk, or if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffedhot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making afool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.Ladies, I apologize.For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free", here's an update for you. ! Now 80% of women are against marriage,why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig, just to geta little sausage

American Idol...Tuesday night......
The whole show was disappointing.......no real stand outs..not a lot of talent....boring, boring, boring!
My picks to go home:
1.Sanjaya (I was praying Simon would just throw him off the stage!)
2.Married ,bald guy....ew!
3.Barefoot guy
My 3 Favorites so far:
1.Nick (the guy who dropped out last year) He just needs to find some confidence! Bless his heart.
2.Be-Bop guy. He was fun to watch. Original.
3.Funny guy Chris....there's something about chris!
4.The guy who was compared to Justin Timberlake. I think he's sexy, talented, comfortable on stage.

Sunday
I went shopping today and bought a new vacuum cleaner. It promises to have 50% more sucking power than the other 2 leading brands. We will see.
The weather man is promising temps. in the 50's this week. I'm crossing my fingers. This winter shit is for the birds!
One of my patients drew and colored, with crayons, a beautiful picture for me. I've been trying to find a frame to fit it. I'll take a picture of it after I have it framed and hung.
I found a house that I really like but the problem is that it's not in the school district that my daughters school is in. She'll be a freshman next year, and has been in school with the same kids since first grade. It wouldn't be right to make her change schools this late in the game, and although her father lives down the street and around the corner, we can't use his address because he's not in her schools district either. Bummer.
If all this cold weather is drying out your skin, and you haven't been able to find the right moisturizer, try Aquaphor. I've tried dozens of different ointments and lotions, none of which has helped, until I found this stuff. It's great.

Friday
I just finished reading "A Rip In Heaven" written by Jeanine Cummins. My dad brings me all of his true crime books after he has read them. I think he wants me to read them hoping I'll learn something, anything that might keep me just a little bit safer in this world. I told him several months back to stop bringing them to me because I was sick of reading about crime and our screwed up justice system. And so he stopped until a couple days ago when he brought me the above mentioned book.
I read the book& it was sad, well written, pissed me off, reinforced some of what I think/feel about cops, newspapers and the media in general.......plus so much more.
It looks like American Idol is going to suck this year. There aren't any stand outs.......except maybe for Chris. His look is different, AND he's funny...............so far he's still my favorite....
Boyfriend didn't get me anything for Valentines Day. How can you not get a VD gift or at the very least a VD card for your Valentine? There's really no excuse that would be acceptable......and I know I will sound like a spoiled baby but my feelings really are hurt. I'm worth a 5 minute stop at the store for a card.

Valentines Day
I took the day off. I have cramps, a headache and I didn't sleep last night. We had a horrible ice storm last night & I just didn't have it in me to scrape 6 inches of ice off of my car, struggle to get to work, work short staffed, probably be forced to stay an extra shift then struggle to get back home. Normally I bite the bullet. Not today, sorry.
I've been thinking about buying a new house. I'm not exactly sure what I want to buy or if I even want to buy but I've been looking at what's listed and driving by some of those places. I've lived in this house for 16 years. I bought my husband out after the divorce and stayed here thinking it was best for the kids..........and I still think it was the best thing to do......but time heals and people/needs change and now I'm thinking I might like something different. I live in a brick cape cod...it was built in the late 40's/early 50's. We originally looked at the house in the fall and I fell in love with the mature trees on the hill behind our backyard and with the big old maple tree IN our backyard. The colors were so pretty. I remember thinking how much fun the boys would have climbing those trees and playing in the woods behind the house. I also remember liking that our street deadends and so a kidknapper would be less likely to grab one of the kids knowing he'd have only 1 route of escape. So anyway, I've been keeping my eyes and options open.......we'll see.

When Your Dreams Don't Oblige you
I just finished off a bottle of wine. Drinking is not something I usually do, especially not while at home. But I haven't felt this down in a very long time, and for lack of any other way to deal with it, I decided to try and drink it away....
I just laughed cause I was thinking about when my boys were younger and I'd meet them at the end of the street where the school bus dropped them off after school.....and one day I over heard some of the young boys as they were getting off the bus say to the bus driver "See ya Gus. Give me 4!" The bus driver would smack their hands. I asked my sons and their friends why they asked Gus to give them 4 instead of 5 and they said cause Gus only has 4 fingers.
AND THEN THAT STORY REMINDED ME OF a guy who use to walk the streets when I was a kid. He was an older guy that wore torn, ragged clothes, usually drunk, and he looked dirty. They called him "Coming and Going." His left foot was perfectly normal but his right foot was turned so that if he were to click his heels he'd really be clicking the baby toe of his right foot to the heel of his left foot.........I felt sorry for him.
I oriented a new nurse this past weekend. She said she learned more from me in 1 day then she had in her first week with the other nurse. It made me feel good...
Good night.

Taxes
I filed my taxes a couple days ago. It's the first time I've done them myself. I was tired of paying so much money to have someone elso do them for me. My father the financial wizard offered to do them, but when he said he should probably be in Alcatraz for some of his returns I decided to do them myself. :O) I e-filed and they've been accepted, but I can't figure out how to print them.
I also did my middle sons taxes. He gets a return so now he thinks I'm kinda cool. I'm just glad to have it done and out of the way!
We're expecting 14 inches of snow over the next day and a half. I like snow. I think it's pretty until it's all dirty and slushy. Wish spring was here....

Super Bowl Sunday
I'm picking boyfriend up from the airport today. When we talked on the phone this morning he said he can't wait to be back in Ky. He hates the traffic in Denver and he says people in Ky. are nicer, and more laid back than people in Colorado. He also said he can't wait to kiss my cute, adorable face. lol...whatever.
We'll have 3 hours to ourselves at boyfriends apartment before we have to be back at my house for the Super Bowl. We're having a party with the boys, their girlfriends, my daughter, her boyfriend and We-Ping. I can't wait!
My boyfriend has an insatiable sweet tooth. So I'm making him a red velvet cake with white icing. I'll take a picture when it's done......if it turns out. I'm not very good at baking, let alone decorating a cake. So we will see.

Saturday Afternoon
My college son, the one who wrecked his car several months ago, bought a car today. Yay! He's high on life. He traded the wrecked car and paid some hard earned and saved cash for the car. The car doesn't have paint on it...... but it's all primed and ready.........he's already called his old body shop teacher from high school to see if he can use the shop to paint the car. Shop teacher said yes! Now he's double high on life. I'm happy for him!
Way back when boyfriend first told me he loved me I asked him if he'd do anything for me. He said yes.........so today when we spoke on the phone I asked him if he'd shave his arm pits for me. It's not that I like men with hairless arm pits. I just wanted to see what his answer would be, and if he said no I wanted to remind him of what he had said in the past.. But he said "yes, i'll shave my pitts AND my groin. lol. That fucker knew I was testing him.
Today while doing the dishes I lost myself in deep thought about when my children were younger..........all the diaper bags I had to pack, making baby formula, sterilizing bottles, all the doctor appointments, all the laundry, and setting out school clothes, all the baseball, football, cheerleading, dance, gymnastic, practices and games......helping with homework, getting the kids back and forth to school, combing tangles out of hair, dealing with hair lice and emergency room visits...picking up toys, preparing meals........and I remembered how much I liked it. Would I want to go back? Maybe for a day so that I could hug my kids again as little kids, but I like living in the here and now better.

Saturday
Boyfriend is still in Denver. "Distance makes the heart grow fonder." Out of sight, out of mind." I have a little of both going on.
My middle son set up my treadmill last night. I got up this morning to walk, and happy that I'd be doing it while in my warm house, but I can't figure out how to turn the darn thing on. I remember my son saying "mom, this is how to turn it on." Of course he woke me from a sound sleep to give me instructions. I remember saying ok, and hearing the motor run, but that's about it.
I'm reading "A Salty Piece of Land" by Jimmy Buffett. It's making me miss the Florida Keys big time. Why can't I be rich and live on a tropical island? I mean seriously, is that too much to ask?
