How Romance begins........

On one of my yahoogroups, the one for www.theromancereadersconnection.com, they were discussing reunions and we went off course and soon we were discussing how we met our spouses. At least some of us were. Well of course I had to say something about meeting my hubby. It was complete chance. A former friend repeatedly asked me to go with her to visit her aunt and uncle's place at the river. I kept saying no, but then finally agreed to ride with her. We walk in the door of their home and laying on the floor is my future hubby. He was soo cute.:) Still is, imho. We have been together ever since that day. We were married 1yr and 10days after the day we met. And coming up on June will make 11yrs we've been happily married.

While reading how some others meet their spouses or boyfriends, I wondered just how many of us meet our other half by chance or as me and hubby say by "God's hand". Our song is "Keeper of the Stars" as it perfectly fits us.

Anyone want to share their meetings with me? Or with us at TRRC? If so go by and join our group. We'd be glad to see you and hear your story, just as I would be glad to read about it here.

May you all have a blessed day today and remember know matter what there is somone stronger than us there to hold us up when we can't stand on our own.

Wild weather

I swear you never know how to dress these days. Today was just wild. The temps weren't too bad, but the wind. Goodness it was awful.

I don't have much to say today. The weekend the family planned a garden so the rain might be good for it. But who knows. I do know my kids are suffering from sinus issues. This weather doesn't help with that either.

Okay back to tending to other things before I fix supper.

Where have all the heroes gone?

I got a message in a yahoogroup about Angela Knight's blog. She had posted an interesting discussion. So I went over and read it. Here is a link if you want to read it as well:

Really a great discussion going on. As a romance reader, I found I agree with what was being said.

I'll post more on my thoughts later. I'd love to know others thoughts and feelings about this issue.

Friday the 13th, the date not the movie

Well happy Friday the 13th to one and all. I forgot it was actually the 13th until someone posted about it in one of my yahoogroups. It's just a date to me. I was going to post some of my kids funny comments from yesterday as they struggled to decide who got to watch what they wanted and who got to pick what they played, but since then I've forgotten their exact words. The gist of it was that my son is the oldest therefore he gets to pick all things while babygirl thought since she's the princess and baby she should get to pick all things. Then she added, I'm just a weethingy. Have no idea where that one came from. So big brother said, well I'm the biggest so I'm boss, now you do as I say! It was rather entertaining to stay out of it and let them figure this out. They were cute and as long as the pushing didn't start I just sit back and let them decide. So baby girl got to pick the show they watched, it was a tape that baby boy liked as well, and baby boy picked what they'd play while the show was on. Then he had to add,"I'm still the oldest". Somehow this is more important.

They amaze me sometimes, with their reactions. They always hug and act like they haven't seen each other in ages if they are apart for a few hours. They fight like crazy but no one else better pick on one or the other. Baby boy still doesn't like that his "sissy" is in another building from him at school.

And with the weather playing outside is hit or miss. So playing inside means they can't run as much. Hopefully Spring will decide to bloom soon.

Have a great day and weekend everyone.

Wow where has the week gone?

Wow it's Thursday already. Feels like this week has just flown by. I can't believe the kids will be back in school on Monday! Only a few more days of sleeping late then it's back to getting up early for a few more weeks.

We had a busy day today, just got home in fact. Between stopping at the mall, visiting Walmart, speech, and stopping at a lawn mower place we were gone all afternoon. But it's good. Done with the shopping for a while, well at least a week anyway.:)

I will need to hit BN if Walmart doesn't soon get my books in. I'm looking for certain books due out last week and still not there yet. I hate when that happens!

Well it's back to work decluttering and cleaning and playing online.

blogs, blogs and more blogs

wow I forgot how many people have blogs for all kinds of stuff. I'm trying to change up a few I'm on and it's amazing to me the skill some people have with this. I am hoping what I do will please those who post on the blogs but it's no sure thing. I've been looking at templates and tutorials and other blogs and in general playing all day long. Hey it's kept me from doing housework, so maybe it's a great thing.LOL

I'm off again to try to play some more and see what I can design.

Wish me luck,

Books, books, and more books

I have to think that sometimes books have taken over my life. I honestly do. I have been going through books this weekend and week, and so far have about 40 that are doubles, countless I have no idea why I have, since I'll never read them, and a few that I just decided I don't want. A few I'd been looking for not realizing I already had them, sad isn't it?

But I'm closer to being done. I have about 2 totes left and then a cabinet full to go through.

I wonder if anyone else is as full of books as I am?LOL

I have decided to post my collection to Librarything.com and will probaby pay the $25 once I get the 200 mark done.(Which shouldn't take me long, one bookshelf is over that). But for now I'll just keep the free 200 books listing.

Now I've got to get back to cleaning and weeding.

"Last place I looked"

Why is it we always say we found the item we were searching for in the "last place I looked"? Of course we did. If we kept looking after finding it, well that would be dumb. I had that experience yesterday. While getting ready to head to a birthday party for a friend's little boy, who has just turned 6, and is a friend of my son's, I went to see my hubby. While I only planed to be a minute I left the Jeep running. Long story short, it overheated and cracked the water reseviour. We had one we'd gotten a few yrs ago when hubby had learned this thing busted easily and costed like $60 new, we found one off an old Jeep for $10. However we had no idea where it was. So we looked everywhere. Finally as I heading back to my Jeep I thought to look in an old car we have on our property that seems to be a catch all for odds and ends. And there is was, the last place I looked, as I told hubby. That's when I thought about why we say this. I mean really of course it's the last place we looked. If it was the first, we'd have stopped looking.

Just a curious thought I had yesterday. Today I will finish my weeding of books yet to be read and likely to never be read. I've found a few I have no idea why I even got, like Judith Krantz and John Grissom. So I'm off to do more weeding, while hubby will head to watch the race at inlaws.

Hope everyone has a great day.
