Part 1!Hello!!! Gosh darn it I did it again! Here we are 19 months after my last post!! I said I was going to post more often and I can't believe that much time has flown by!! Life in itself is going by so fast that sometimes I am like wow...where did that month go...where did that year go!? I'm sure you can relate but isn't it scary? Wouldn't it be nice if we could just hit a pause button? I feel like the older I am getting the faster life is flying by and it is not a nice feeling. Now I know what my Grandma meant when she use to say, "enjoy your life because it goes by in a flash"....I use to think, "nah"...she doesn't make any sense but boy was she ever right and I was wrong!! I use to say "hurry up Friday and get here" and now I don't rush the week through because that would mean I'm rushing through life and I don't want to do that!!<br />
So much has happened since I've talked to you last! Let me fill you in! Let's see, where I left off!<br />

We went to Rocky Gap State Park to celebrate our 29th Wedding Anniversary. We had a really great time. Joe carved our initial's in a tree. <br />

Those things really changed the appearance and made it their own. I'm sure Venti didn't want to look at the same things that he grew up in! People ask me all the time if it seems strange to go back in there but honestly it really doesn't. Its their house now and I'm happy that it stayed in the family and now they can raise their kids their. Its neat for Venti that his son's bedroom was the same one that he had!!

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">May 2013: We finally sold our house to Venti and Mocha!! Can you believe it!? I don’t know why it took us that long to not think of it being the perfect scenario for everyone!! After
we made that realization we also realized that we did not want the
townhouse that had picked out and found another one within walking
distance of Venti and my parents and my sisters!! Plus my best friend lives across the street!! We put in an offer and it was accepted. We had a closing date of July 25, 2013!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">October 2013 – December: Joe had a really tough time adjusting to moving and boy was it ever some rough times for all of us. He was battling depression really bad and nothing was helping. The
doctors tried many different medications but it only seemed to make him
worse plus they took away all the daylight shifts at his job and he was
forced to work night shifts which he has done before but that on top of
moving was not a good combination. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">January 2014: Joe ended up being admitted to the hospital from December 19 – January 27. It was such a rough time for me and for the boys. I had to be Mom and Dad, work full-time and visit Joe every day. I never again want to go through that. It was a cold long month. Thankfully my boys were home from college and Short had lots of basketball games!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">August 2014: And here we are!! 15 months later! Time sure flew by fast but yet it went slow. We are finally all settled in our new house and I absolutely love it!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Joe is gradually getting back to his old self but he’s still not there yet.

Grande will graduate in December and Tall in May 2015.</span></div>

The tree was put away this morning right along with all the decorations around the house. I know some of you think that is terrible but for me it is a relief! I like when things are back to normal and it seems like so much clutter is around with all the decorations! I went through the 10 bins of decorations in the basement too and I have 5 huge bags of donations to get rid of. Whew!!<br />
<br />
We had a really great Christmas! <br />

I have 4 days off which I am thoroughly enjoying! We got 5 inches of snow today so it was a good day to stay home and undecorate! I'm not sure what we are doing New Year's Eve as we were invited to a party by a friend of ours a couple of weeks ago but she hasn't mentioned it since! Hummmm....if so then we will just go out to eat and then spend a quiet night at home!<br />
<br />
I am hoping that once the holidays are over that our house will sell! We had several showings in December and all of them loved the house but for some reason or another they didn't buy it. One of them had a boat and needed a flat driveway which ours isn't. The right one will come along soon I hope!!<br />
<br />
If I don't have a chance to post again before New Year's I want to wish everyone a safe and happy one and here's to 2013!!!<br />

Here we are 2 days before Christmas! I am getting there little by little! Joe helped me wrap the other night which was a huge help! I just have a little more to do today. I wasn't going to do any baking because I didn't think that I had time but Joe got called into work today so I have the day to myself and I decided to do some baking! I'm going to make my Grandma's <b><a href="http://nevergrowingold.blogspot.com/search/label/recipes" target="_blank">soft sugar cookies</a></b> and everyone's favorite peanut butter cookies!!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we will be going to Christmas Eve mass at 5pm and then we have dinner reservations at The Melting Pot. Then we are going to Venti's in-laws for a Christmas Eve party!<br />

The time where some of us are not evening thinking about Christmas while others are all ready done and wrapped! I am somewhere in between where as I have some gifts purchase (not wrapped) and still have many more to get! Which one are you? I'm curious how many of you are prepared...or not prepared! December 25th will be here whether we like it or not. Its funny how some people absolutely love Christmas and can't wait for it to get here and other people cringe at the "C" word. I tend to be a cringer probably because of the cost and the how much work it is. I wish our world didn't become so commercialized and turned our Christmas into a day that is all about gift giving instead of enjoying the day for what it really is.
Speaking of Thankgiving, I had a very nice day spent with all my family! It was Venti and Mocha's turn to eat at my Mom's so it great having them there all day!
Here is a picture of the boys and Mocha.<br />

We haven't had any luck yet with our house! We had one showing so far and the lady loved it but couldn't afford it. We probably won't get much action now until after the first of the year. We did find another place that we like and put a deposit down but if someone else comes along that wants it and doesn't have a contingency to sell their home then we will lose that one. We are so hoping that doesn't happen!<br />

Work is going good....busy but good. I will be working over-time from now until Christmas which is good for the wallet but bad because I already don't have enough hours in the day!
The boys will be home from college for Christmas break from December 15 - January 22nd! Yikes! I'll be cooking and doing laundry non-stop! I do like them home but its funny how we get use to them not being here! Short loves when they are home! What a full house it will be again!!

I was off of work for 2 days which was nice but that was the only bonus when it came to the storm. We only lost power for a little while and all the food/batteries/ice/flashlights were purchased just in case as you never know when it comes to a hurricane!<br />

We have not had any bites on our house yet which is a little discouraging. I guess I is just a bad time of the year. We did lower the price a little hoping that would get some showings but it didn't. I have a feeling that something just isn't right because my Dad is our realtor and we live next door to my parents. Last Saturday we were at a friends 50th birthday party and my Dad had a couple of glasses of wine and I asked him if he has had any calls about the house and he said, "well I did have one call but they wanted to see it right away and I said no!".....I was like "what!!??"....he said that he didn't "have time"....I said, "Dad, if you don't have time then just let us know and we can show it!"...he then changed the subject....hmmm...I know they don't want us to move but we have to financially and we are in a hard situation since he is our realtor. Sigh....I told my Mom and she said she didn't know anything about it. Either she doesn't or she is just going along with him! We already have a contract on another house but it is contingent on us selling ours. Someone could come along and purchase that one before we end up selling ours! :(<br />

I live in the direct path of the hurricane which is very scary as you really don't know what to expect no matter what the newscasters say. Schools are cancelled today and tomorrow and work was closed today and will probably be tomorrow as well. Joe left for work this morning and gets off work right when it is supposed to be really bad out! Grande and Tall where home for the weekend and left last night and right as they were getting in the car they got the call that their University cancelled classes today. They decided to go back anyhow since they thought if they stayed that they wouldn't be able to get back until after the storm!<br />

See the eye of the hurricane at 2am? That is exactly where I live!</center>

To start a Halloween BOO, one neighbor secretly leaves a small gift
basket, a BOO poem, BOO instructions and a BOO sign at a neighbor's
doorstep.
<br />
The lucky BOO-ee is asked to post the sign near the door, alerting
others that "We've Been BOO-ed!" That way, new BOO recruits won't leave a
duplicate BOO on the doorstep.<br />
In turn, the neighbor is asked to BOO two other households, leading to a chain reaction--and Halloween fun!!<br />
Day by day, the BOO signs proliferate. Soon, the entire neighborhood is
sporting BOO signs, and everyone is guessing. Who's been booed?<br />
<br />
Here is the poem that was in the bag:<br />
<br />
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<i><b>Okay neighbors, here's what you have to do:</b></i></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<i><b>Keep the Boo sign on your door. Make two copies of the sign to pass along.</b></i></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<i><b>Make two new Boo Bags ($10 limit each bag) within 2 days to pass along to two neighbors without a Boo sign on their door. Leave the bag at your neighbor's house, but don't let them see you!</b></i></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<i><b>Don't forget to pass along the signs and the directions!!</b></i></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<i><b>Let's see if we can get all of S---------s "Boo"ed by October 31st!</b></i></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: orange; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">
<i><b>(If you choose not to participate, please pass along the Boo Bag left or you so we can keep it going!)</b></i></div>

Our house is now for sale and we haven't had one single showing yet! Hmmm...I know the market is slow but not one showing in 2 weeks! I guess we will sit and wait patiently (or impatiently)....we have to sell this one in order to buy the new one so someone else could still come in and buy the other one before we sell ours. Let's just hope that doesn't happen!<br />
<br />
It was a sad day here at our house on Wednesday. Our beloved Brody had to be put to sleep. He has been sick since Labor Day and nothing has been helping. He was on his third medication and he seemed to be getting worse. He was urinating all over the house, he could hardly walk and he just looked ill. The vet said that was the best thing to do. He was only 3!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">RIP Brody!</span></div>

But it is okay because after much thinking we are glad that it worked out that way because we actually found another one that we like better! We put the offer in this morning and haven't heard back yet! Fingers crossed!!
I spent all last week at the Police Academy for training...and no I am not training to be a Trooper! Everyone that works for the State Police has to go through the week long training. It was really interesting and I got my picture taken with 2 Trooper's and their horses!<br />

Hope every one has a great week and I'll let you know about the house!Javahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07932885655554324081noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256911450791990581.post-69531676233319024112012-09-09T09:56:00.000-04:002012-09-10T08:27:36.963-04:00House Hunting!Joe and I have been house hunting! We are looking to downsize and save money as we are house poor! Most of our paychecks go towards our mortgage and we are tired of worrying about where the next dollar will come from. We looked at this beautiful townhouse last week and gave an offer but the sellers aren't willing to budge a penny and so we probably won't get that one. If we did get it, we would save $1000 a month!! I can't even imagine how nice it would be to not worry about money all the time!
Here are some picture of it. I'm crossing my fingers that they accept our offer!<br />

What a busy summer I have had! I have missed you all and I promise to be here for you from now on! Grande and Tall are back at college and so we are a family of 3 once again...they are home this weekend for clean clothes and more groceries! Short started school last week and is in the 7th grade. Venti and Mocha are doing well! No Grandbabies yet! Whew. I'm not ready to be a Noni quite yet! I'm hoping they wait until next year when they hopefully move back here!
Here is a picture of the boys when we all went out to eat last weekend!

In July we went on vacation to Florida! What fun we had! It did rain everyday but it was always after 3pm and stopped by the time we went out to dinner.
Here are some pictures: We went to Fort Myers, Florida.<br />

Summer flew by so quickly and I can hardly believe that it is September already! Summer is my favorite time of the year so I'm a little sad to see it go. We have our Labor Day picnic tomorrow but it is supposed to rain from the remnants of Isaac. I'm just excited to spend the day with my family, whether it is inside or outside!
That is it for now. I have grocery shopping to do and my 4th load of laundry is ready to be folded. Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend!!

<b>4. What did you have for Mother's Day dinner? </b><br />
Kentucky Fried Chicken!! It is a tradition for as long as I can remember. My Mom requests it and so my Dad buys lots of chicken (to feed 18 of us) and then my sisters and I each bring a side dish and a dessert. I made homemade macaroni & cheese and brownies!!<br />

Joe and I tried the no carb diet for two miserable days and neither of us lost anything so yesterday I decided to try a low fat diet to see if that works and I lost 1 & 1/2 lbs in one day! I'm going to try that for a couple of days to see what happens!!<br />
<br />
Joe picked up Tall yesterday from college and now my house looks like a bomb went off with all his stuff! I didn't realize he had taken that much to school!! I have DAYS worth of laundry to do (luckily for me I LOVE to do laundry!) and he conveniently threw the clean in with the dirty so I have to wash everything which is probably a good idea since who knows where it was laying at school!!<br />
Grande comes home tomorrow so I'll start all over again!! :)<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday and I'll see you tonight for Follow Friday 40 and Over!!Javahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07932885655554324081noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-256911450791990581.post-22282126424289949862012-04-30T16:04:00.001-04:002012-05-01T08:40:56.820-04:00Off the market!!I have been busier then ever and wanted to fill you in on what's been going on with me! As you know we listed our house for sale last Wednesday......by Sunday it was off the market....and no we didn't have a buyer...we changed our minds! Something just didn't seem right and after much thought we decided that if we aren't 100% sure then we aren't going to go through with it! And now that we did change our minds we are so glad we did! It is such a relief and now we know that it was the right decision!<br />
We are getting new carpet on the 17th which will make the house look new and give it a nice lift that it needs. That is the only home improvement that needed to be done since we already got new countertops, new tile in the kitchen, all new lights and we repainted so I think after the new carpet is in, it will all be complete and we can sit tight for a couple of years!!<br />
<br />
On Saturday we helped Venti move to Maryland. He has been commuting everyday for his job since January and traveling 170 miles everyday!! Talk about a long day! And then his wife Mocha also got a job down there and she has been traveling as well and they didn't always work the same shift so both had to drive! They will probably be there for about 2 years and then hopefully he can transfer back home. I'm just happy that they aren't commuting everyday as that was worrisome. <br />
<br />
My Dad just had heart surgery and had to have a defibrillator put in. His heart was only working at 25%. The surgery went well and he is already feeling better. I'm sure you will remember when he fell last year and he has had problems ever since. It still upsets me and I think about it every day. <br />
<br />
Grande and Tall will be home for the Summer on Friday.....let the fun begin! Yikes! Joe, Short and I are so used to it being just the 3 of us and now I'm going to have to cook again! And buy more groceries....and do more laundry....and clean more......ahhhh but it will be nice to have them home!!<br />
<br />
My job is going okay. I am tolerating it now....ha! The lady that started a week before me walked out last Friday. It is a relief that she is gone. She was a bit psycho and you never knew what she was going to do next. My old boss is still emailing me to come back which I have been thinking about but it is so laid back where I work now and free parking so I am going to have to give that a lot of thought!!<br />
<br />
My birthday is Friday and while in the past I have not been a fan of birthdays at all, I am now realizing that I should be happy to celebrate each one that I am given and that's exactly what I'm going to do!<br />
<br />
Happy Tuesday!Javahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07932885655554324081noreply@blogger.com5
