OUR FAMILY PRINCESS VISITS TODAY

It is really funny that I write the earlier blog about our inner princess and then Portia comes to visit and she will tell you she is Portia Princess. Her are a few pictures in her Tiara and a couple with hats on. She is really growing and changing.

Papa stayed at a distance since he is still not feeling good and it was hard that he couldn't pick her up and hug her.

EMBRACE YOUR INNER PRINCESS

WHAT A TITLE HUH?? YESTERDAY IN THE PAPER THERE WAS AN ARTICLE TITLED THIS. IT SHOWED A WOMAN IN ARIZONA THAT WEARS HER FURS, TIARAS, AND GLAMOUR JEWLERY AT HOME. IT STATES THAT IT CAPTURES THE INNER PRINCESS IN HER. WELL DO WE ALL HAVE INNER PRINCESS IN US? AND WHAT IF WE WORE TIARAS ALL THE TIME THAT CAPTURED WHAT WE DID. SO I ROUGHLY AND I MEAN ROUGHLY SKETCHED WHAT MINE AND THE GIRLS WOULD BE. FIRST THERE IS AMY FOR COSMOTOLOGY. HERS WOULD HAVE SCISSORS OF COURSE AND A COMB OR BRUSH AND A PERM ROD. IT WOULDN'T BE IN COLORFUL GEMS BUT WOULD HAVE A LOT OF RHINESTONES. THEN SARAH WHO WORKS AT A BANK WOULD HAVE BIG GREEN DOLLAR SIGNS AND LOTS OF RHINESTONES. OR I GUESS YOU COULD INCORPORATE COINS INTO IT. MAKE IT QUITE HEAVY. THAN MEGAN'S WOULD HAVE HANDCUFFS AND A GUN. WOULD NOT BE A LOT OF COLOR BUT QUITE SHINY. THEN BUFFY WOULD HAVE THE MOST COLORFUL ONE OF ALL WORKING WITH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THERE WOULD BE LOTS OF COLOR ON IT. DIDN'T TAKE YOUR ACCOUNTING MAJOR IN ON THAT BUFFY, BUT IF WE DID YOURS WOULD HAVE NUMBERS, PLUS AND MINUS SIGNS, PERCENT SIGNS, ETC. THEN MINE WOULD BE A CROSS, A SYRINGE, PILLS, BANDAIDES. YOU GET THE PICTURE. NOW CAN YOU SEE GOING IN EVERYWHERE AND SEEING WOMEN WITH TIARAS ON ALL THE TIME THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE JOB THEY WERE DOING? OR EVEN SOMEONE COMING TO YOUR DOOR AND YOU GREET THEM WITH A REGULAR TIARA ON AND JEWELRY AND A MINK STOLE AND YOU HAVE ON YOUR OLD T SHIRT WITH HOLES, BAGGY SWEATS AND BAREFOOT. PICTURE THAT.
I CERTAINLY AGREE THAT PUTTING ON A BEAUTIFUL SHINY TIARA MAKES A PERSON FEEL ROYAL. IT JUST DOES SOMETHING FOR THE INNER SOUL. MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL, BEAUTIFUL, GRAND AND A WHOLE LIST OF OTHER FANTASTIC WORDS. MAYBE WE NEED TO TAKE A HINT FROM THIS LADY. WHEN WE ARE DOWN, OR HAD A BAD DAY OR WHEN THINGS SEEM BLAH, THEN GET A TIARA AND GO PRANCING AROUND OUR HOMES AND FEEL GOOD. MAYBE THAT IS WHY LITTLE GIRLS PLAY DRESS UP OR BEAUTY QUEEN. IT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
SO FIND A TIARA AND PUT IT ON. BRING OUT THAT INNER PRINCESS AND EMBRACE THE MOMENT OF HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL. GIVE YOURSELF A BOOST. WHAT IS IT GOING TO HURT? NOT A THING!

GRANDMA'S APPOINTMENT WENT WELL YESTERDAY. SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE NEUROLOGIST FOR 4 MONTHS. SHE HAS AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DERMOTOLOGIST ON MONDAY FOR THE PLACES ON HER FACE AND HANDS. SHE WILL STILL HAVE TO HAVE BLOOD WORK ONCE A MONTH. BUT EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD.
LON IS BETTER. HAD TO GIVE HIM A SHOT OF STRONG ANTIBIOTICS AND START HIM ON ORAL ANTIBIOTICS.
THATS IT FOR NOW. GOING TO CRAP AND STOMP. THAT'S DAD'S WORKS FOR MY CRAFT AND STAMP. BEEN SLEEPING IN MY CRAFT ROOM WHILE DAD IS SICK. WILL BE REALLY NICE IN THERE WHEN I GET ALL BUFFY'S STUFF MOVED OUT AND REDO THE WALLS. MY OWN LITTLE CRAFTING HAVEN. NOW WILL WORK ON GETTING MY OWN COMPUTER FOR IN THERE. I WILL BE ALL SET.
TILL LATER. ENJOY YOUR SAT.. IT IS 54 DEGREES OUTSIDE. A FAR CRY FROM THE LAST FEW DAYS OF COLD COLD TEMPS.

FIRST WEEK OF JAN. ALMOST UP

IT IS ALMOST FRIDAY! CAN WE ALL SAY HURRAY! LON IS STILL SICK. LAST NIGHT HE GOT REST AT ALL. HE COUGHED AND COUGHED AND COUGHED SOME MORE. GOT HIM SOMETHING STRONGER FOR HIS COUGH TODAY AND HE IS NOW RESTING WITH LITTLE COUGHING. YES!
WORK IS IN TOTAL TURMOIL SINCE THE OTHER DOCTOR IN THE PRACTICE IS GOING TO BE ON MEDICAL LEAVE FOR 6 WEEKS. WHAT MORE CAN WE HANDLE? OH WELL, I AM THANKFUL I HAVE A JOB!
HOPEFULLY THIS WEEKEND I CAN GET SOME NEW AND EXCITING PICTURES TO POST ON HERE. NEED SOMETHING UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT. I WILL BE ON THE LOOK OUT TO SEE WHAT I COME UP WITH.
IT IS ALMOST TIME TO START REALLY UNWINDING TO GO TO BED. I HAVE BEEN SLEEPING IN A DIFFERENT BEDROOM FROM LON SINCE NEW YEARS EVE. DON'T WANT THE COUGHING! SOMEONE HAS TO STAY WELL IN THE HOUSE.
HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING OKAY. CARSON AND DAWSON ARE BETTER. BUFFY SAID THIS MORNING THAT SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS GETTING SICK. ZEK IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS BM'S AND WILL BE GOING TO THE DOCTOR. AMY MADE HIM AN APPOINTMENT. MEGAN JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP THIS EVENING SO SHE WAS NOT A BALL OF FIRE. LISA IS FINE. SAW HER TODAY. AND HAVEN'T TALKED WITH SHEREE SO DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THEM.
SO HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY EVERYONE. BE BACK BLOGGING IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

AMY, DES AND EZEKIEL MADE IT HOME FINE. I AM SURE THEY WERE GLAD TO GET BACK HOME INTO THEIR OWN ENVIRONMENT. THEY ARE GOING TO THEIR NEIGHBORS FOR NEW YEARS.
SARAH CALLED YESTERDAY AND DAWSON AND CARSON WERE BOTH SICK. SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT TAKING THEM TO THE PEDIATRIC URGENT CARE. TRIED TO CALL HER TODAY AND NO ONE WAS HOME.
MEGAN HAD CHRISTMAS WITH JASON'S MOMS SIDE OF THE FAMILY OVER THE WEEKEND AND SHE GOT A PAIR OF PINK SNOW BOOTS. SHE NEEDS THEM UP THERE.
BUFFY IS WORKING AS MANY HOURS AS SHE CAN GET AT THE GROCERY STORE. SHE HAS HAD A COUPLE OF DATES AND IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GETTING USE TO THE GUY PAYING.
LIKE I SAID EARLIER LON IS SICK. HE DID TAKE THE DOGS OUT HUNTING YESTERDAY AND CAME HOME FEELING BAD.
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE NORMAL HOUSEWORK AND SUCH BUT HAVE BEEN MAKING VALENTINE CARDS. THAT HAS BEEN FUN. AND LON AND I WENT SHOPPING ON FRIDAY AND I GOT TWO NEW PAIRS OF LEVIS THAT FIT. YEAH! ALSO GOT A PAIR OF SHOES, A SWEATER HOODIE IN BLACK AND SILVER AND A FLEECE HOODIE THAT IS PINK. GUESS I WILL WEAR MY NEW SWEATER HOODIE TO OUR OFFICE PARTY ON SUNDAY NIGHT.
