tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-104736072026-04-04T14:45:07.069-04:00I was starting to complain to myself earlier today, and then I was listening to the news and I thought well I don't have to hop in a boat while all my friends and families get pulled into the ocean and feel guilty that I was the only survivor. I don't have a terminal illness, a sick child, nothing to eat, a cheating husband, a broken bone, a cat throwing up on the carpet, a son in Iraq, or even a cavity. So no complaining goes on the blog. Only my humble observations and gratitude for living.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07876296491440542904noreply@blogger.comBlogger205125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10473607.post-55150343725433131932009-06-21T14:13:00.004-04:002009-12-07T12:12:04.882-05:00

I just noticed when cleaning out my email that I had over a dozen emails sent to me on my one and two year anniversaries. Each note I loved and appreciated and they were all sent with the best intent and I love every single person who wrote me and I know they did not notice or this did not occur to them but let me point some things out.read the Words carefully with me:"Congratulations on being

my Uncle Tony died early this morning and I am sad about it. I went dancing tonight anyway. Last time I saw Uncle Tony we danced together-i figure he must of had an appreciation for dance and I should go because I am alive....I believe it was a waltz I got to do with Uncle Tony last I saw him....luck for me I have it on video so I can watch it tomorrow. He stayed at my house once in Rockville

my Dad and I are hanging out at the GWU Inn tonight and decided to head to Notti Bianche for a nice Italian Dinner. I have to say it was very funny watching my Dad get served the worlds smallest dinner . You can order half orders at this resturant and my Dad ordered a half order of ravioli....now imagine this...5 really SMALL flat white ravioli on a huge deep plate with a little little bit of

There was a one-hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life: 1. He bought his first share of stock at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late! 2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers. 3. He still lives in the same, small 3-bedroom

cool story about attitude:There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today?' So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the

yesturday i went to urgent care because I had been up all night in pain in my abdomen. The urgent care took an xray and then sent me over to the ER. The urgent care diagnosed the problem totally wrong but I won't go into it... Anyway, after an abdominal ultrasound and cat scan...and about 10 hours latter the ER determined it was free fluid in my abdomen. Since that can be a sign of cancer (

last night we arrived in ashville. for our first night we stayed at the Renaisance Hotel. It was very similar to one of the places we stayed in Fiji so I really liked our room. Before dinner we walked around and went to a few shops. Dean bought me a really nice bellydance hip scarf...it's the best one I have ever seen. I may have to go back and get some for my friends from DC. We went to a
