SNEEZY, WHEEZY, SNOTTIN' N' WATERIN'!!

Dear Allergies,
YOU SUCK!

I have severe cat allergies. My best friend has 4 indoor cats and 3 outdoor cats.

This is exactly what it feels like only precious 

Peaches has precious flippin' friends!

The only cat I'm not allergic to!

Then I go outside into our recent neverending wind storms and I get a double whammy! Now every allergen blowing by PLUS all the outdoor cat crap and the neighbor's outdoor cat crap, and the neighbors with the donkeys, goats, and sheep and their crap decide to attack my eye sockets and nostrils!

I feel like I should be wearing one of these!

I've tried every over the counter allergy med.

So true!!!

Anymore I just look out the window and check on 'ol Sparky.

When I see this. I'm indoors for the day!

Altho it could mean you're attracted to boys.. 

Sporting a "stiffy" while talking to Linus??
(Thanks for the correction JoJo)

Me too R.D. Jr. - Do furry handcuffs count??

SPRING CLEANING, IT'S NOT JUST FOR CLOSETS

I've been doing a lit'l spring cleaning of my life. I made a major move, picked up some new hobbies n' habits. In short I guess you could say, "Mimi got her groove back." However, I had one last ghost, a demon perhaps, a dark shadow of the past nipping at my heels and now they are no more. 

I feel a bit of sadness of course. There's a vacancy in my heart now, in my life.. But more than anything I feel free. I have a sense of lightness and a feeling of being almost giddy. I have freed up so much space in my being and I am so excited knowing that I can now fill that space with people and things that bring me love and joy and peace. 

I am so loving my life right now!
New adventures lie in front of me and I embrace them ALL! 

Now I'm off to build some shelves! 
Happy Monday everyone!!!

FRIDAY FINDS

Interesting finds around the world wide web.

These mugs? I want them!

This just made me laugh out loud because I think of the same kinds of things. Like what if we humans behaved like dogs and cats???

See what I mean??? Wouldn't this be great??!

I would totally wear this bra!

And bonus?? Silverware to match my bra!!!

No way am I sleeping in this bed! I sleep like an epileptic having a seizure as it is, can you imagine having sex in this bed and hitting the big "O"???! Your arms n' legs fly up and the lid slams shut?? Talk about being fucked...

I totally agree with you Robin Williams... 

I totally agree.

Happy Friday everyone!

WHAT WILL YOU CONFESS TODAY?

It's Friday!!!  That means it's time for Friday confessions. What will YOU confess???
Click on this photo link to play along.
I CONFESS - I miss my kiddos and grandbabies every second of every day!
I CONFESS - Moving to Idaho was absolutely the right thing for me.
I CONFESS - I reeaaalllly need to be more disciplined in my scheduling my writing time.
I CONFESS - I started watching "Law & Order" on Netflix and am now on season 7 but I only watch it at night just before I go to sleep.
I CONFESS - I only watch t.v. when I go to my sis' place and she got me totally hooked on watching the murder trial of that bitch Jodi Arias!
I CONFESS - I haven't felt this alive in years!!! I'm finally home. I feel good. I've lost weight. I've got tons of energy.. This "feel good" list is endless!
I CONFESS - I sleep with a CPAP machine now for my sleep apnea and all of that oxygen going through my body is working wonders. - Added bonus. If you get the hiccups all you have to do is turn on the machine and breathe in some of that fresh oxygen and your hiccups are gone. Easy peasy.
I CONFESS - I am totally caught up on all of your blogs and that makes me smile!
I CONFESS - It's almost midnight and time for me to go to sleep. I'm working on my bookshelf tomorrow and I'm hoping to have pics to post here AND on my beloved Pinterest.

HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY!!!

My bloggee pal Jenn over at 'SCRIBBLE FROM JENN' discovered this lit'l happiness meme through one of her bloggee pals and decided to join in on spreading some happiness along her blog travels. I've decided to do the same. Happiness is a state of mind, it's a choice. Think about what makes YOU happy and join in! 

How it works: Simply list your five ways to be happy, tag five people, and remember to tag back to the person who tagged you like I did in my first sentence. 

What makes me happy???

Being thankful. 

Counting my blessings makes me happy!

My children and grandbabies 

make me indescribably happy!

I'm happy to be alive!!

Being creative makes me happy!!!

Living in Idaho makes me happy, happy, happy!!!

Here are some happy people I know:

Lily ~ 'THE INCOHERENT RAMBLINGS OF A MOOSE'
Mz. JLil ~ 'JERSEY LIL'S 2 CENTS
Tracy ~ 'PULL UP A TOADSTOOL'
Jill ~ 'JILL'S WORLD'

HERE, LET ME GIVE YOU A HAND - WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

I DID IT! AND THEN...

Okay, so I made it aaalllll the way through my blog list and visited eeevvvveeeerrryyyy blog that I'm following and I come back to my dashboard only to find that you've all written more!!! What the hell people??? Back it up and slow it down! I'm old!

As I write this the military are performing aerial exercises right above the house. Sounds like we're being invaded! - Dear Military that I love so dearly. As much as I appreciate your service would it be too much to ask if maybe you couldn't scheduled these annoying exercises mid day?? Must they be done in the evening just when I'm about to snuggle in for the night?? If not, could you at least get G.I. Joe/Channing Tatum to burst through my window and snuggle with me?? Holy hell but you're a loud bunch!

I've been staying pretty busy with trips to the mountains, the bars and geocaching and next week is about to get even busier! Talk about backing it up and slowing it down! Maybe I should follow my own advice but then where's the fun in that??

I have a friend's birthday party to go to, then it's my big sis' birthday - we're going to Nevada to do a lit'l rolling of the dice, playing of the cards and jerkin' on those "one armed bandits!" SOOO excited for that celebration! - Then my sis and I are participating in a week long herbalist retreat. Sooo excited for that mini vaca too! We'll be learning about and gathering our own herbs native to Idaho and then we'll make our own "home remedies." Should be really interesting and I love that our guide/host is a native American.

The veggie garden will be finished this weekend.
The bookcase I'm making out of pallets should be finished this weekend as well.
I'm in the process of revamping my bedroom.
I had an "aha" moment with one of the books I'm writing so 'block' is gone and the ball is rolling once again in that department - thank goodness! As many of you know, writers block totally sucks!

Question of the day - What do YOU do when YOU have writers block???? Hit me up. I wanna' know!

MY OWN NOT SO PRIVATE IDAHO

Since my move back "home" I have been a very busy girl! It feels good to get back to me, if that makes sense to any of you. I've been spending a lot of time with family and friends and lots of time outdoors and it's been wonderfully exhausting. Many times my body has reminded me that I am in fact, not 20 years old anymore - traitor! Hiking up n' down hills and mountains when you're 50 is a bit more challenging. Your body betrays you over and over again, from the escaping gasps n' grunts to all of the aches and pains but it feels fantastic. I feel alive. I feel me...

Here are a few shots I took whilst out n' about. 

 My playground. Love, love, love my mountains.

The desert. I like to play here too!  

Watch out for the rattlesnakes!

I watch this little guy - and his dive bombing friend - every morning. He's just beautiful.

The dogs find these huge, disgusting 

beetles tasty! Yuck!

I found this cowboy to be quite tasty! And yep. 

He's a real cowboy. Owns his own ranch

 and smells absolutely divine!

I found a new hobby too! Besides the cowboy. Geocaching! Have any of you done this? I'm totally hooked! I love that it's outdoors and that it can take you anywhere, in town, in the mountains, the desert. 

On my first day I had 15 finds! Yay me!

I love exploring the Oregon Trail. 

Even more fun? Geocaching on the trail!

I've gotten a bit of writing done. Started a new book. Been getting seeds planted n' plants started, ready for the garden! I'm going to use the pallet planting idea I saw on Pinterest. We'll see if it works. I'll post pics. Being a Pinterest addict I thought it was time to actually do some of the things I've been pinning! - Any other Pinterest freaks out there?? Have you actually done any of the projects you've pinned?? -

Has everyone recovered from the A-Z Challenge?? I'm still reading your posts!
