Hello from Northern Illinois.
Today is my Friday. It was the longest 3 day week in the history of 3 day weeks. Im overly happy that its over.
Not only do I wish my boss would move on to another store, but now I wish one of the other department heads would move on as well. I figure, by the time my grandchild is here, Im going to be totally gray!!! Stress sucks!
On to happier things....
My daughter is doing well. Shes starting to get fat. She eats almost 24 hours a day and its showing. Ive told her she cant eat and sit.....she needs to eat and walk it off. I feel that shes going to learn things the hard way. Typical for her.
The thought of a baby has sunk in. Hearing the cry. Feedings. More sleepless nights. Holding my first of many grandchildren. I cant wait.
Im going to Pittsburgh this weekend. Im so excited about that as well. I get to meet Erics friends and family. Well, at least some of them. Im looking forward to seeing the city, going to his favorite eating places, seeing the sights, and mostly, spending time alone with him. Alone time? What the hell is that?
I have some stuff to do before I leave, so Im off for now.
If Im not back on to add to this, I hope that everyone has a most fabulous weekend and I will blog when I get home.
Peace Out.....

Hi...
Well, Eric has returned, yet again. This was a last minute thing. Its my nephews birthday tomorrow and we wanted to have some kind of birthday thing at the cemetery. Im not really looking forward to it, but my kids really want to celebrate.
Im not sure the last time is that Justin had a birthday party. I know that I had one for him when he was 5 or so. I never heard him or his mom mention a party. My youngest son had this idea that we get a cake, cupcakes or something and just chill at the cemetery. How can I tell him no?
Eric and I went and bought some flowers for Justin and my Gram today. They are beautiful. There is nothing like fresh cut flowers. Tomorrow, besides chilling and playing WII, we will be at the cemetery. *sigh*
This has been a great visit with Eric. They get better and better. Hes smiling from ear to ear after me saying that, Im sure. We havent been home much. Had lunch with some friends, did a lot of shopping, had lunch together. Its been relaxing. I like that.
Hes leaving on Tuesday and I will be in Pittsburgh on Friday. Its finally my turn. With work, its hard to leave. Im usually so tired when the work week is done, I just want to chill. When he got here Thursday, he and I went to bed around 530pm and didnt wake until 630 the next morning. Yeah, we slept. He was tired from the drive, and I was exhausted from the crappy, sleepless week I had. Needless to say, we were both energized for the weekend.
Im heading out to the store in a few minutes as we are cooking out tonight. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I will blog in a day or so.

Hi...
I finally caught up on my sleep. I went to bed at 8 last night and got up at 6 this morning. I told Eric yesterday I cant remember the last time I was so tired. It seems that all week I have been dozing in the chair or on the couch. Not like me.
The past few weeks have been busy for me. Unusually busy. My Gram, work, Eric, company, kids, race..... I need a vacation to a sunny beach. Quiet beach. Have somebody check on me every half hour or so and ask if I need a drink refill. Is there such a place that exists?
Im going to visit Eric in 2 weeks. Ive only ever been through Pittsburgh, so Im excited to get to actually see it. Its going to be for 4 days, and Im expecting them to be action packed. There is a lot Eric wants to show me. I cant wait!
My boys helped me to clean out the garage yesterday. As well as my stuff, which isnt much, I have 3 other peoples stuff in there. It was so bad, I could only step inside about 2 feet. Now, I can almost park my car in there. The garbage pickers had a field day yesterday.
My oldest son has most of his stuff in there, and well, its now condensed. He tossed a lot of crap he didnt need or want. Hes moving in a few months, just in time for winter to set in. This winter, my car WILL be in the garage. Do you have any idea how much it sucks to scrape windows at 330 in the morning?? Well, let me tell you.... IT FUCKING SUCKS!!! Its cold at 330, its dark, its typically icy, and its dark! Did I mention its dark?
Today Im getting my tattoo. Its going to be 2 long stem pink roses in honor of my Gram. I was supposed to get it this past Wednesday, but my tattoo artist was under the weather. Eric took both photos of the roses. One is from his backyard and the other from when we went to Toledo. Hes a little honored that I want them permanently on my leg. My tattoo artist is pretty impressed with the pictures as well. Hes excited that they are actual photos we took and not something that was Google'd. I will post a photo tomorrow, so come check it out.
There is a little buzz about Erics photo in shorts and swimsuit! Im going to post those too, just not sure when. There will be a time when its just perfect. Soon, I promise.
I guess thats all for now. Just going to be one of those Sundays where I try not to do much of anything. Early dinner with my kids and then get my tattoo. Sounds like a good plan for the day.
I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday....
Peace Out....

Have you ever hit an animal? Birds dont count.
This morning on my way to work, I had a suicide bunny dart out in front of my car. I let out a god awful scream because I couldnt believe what had just happened. I didnt stop because I didnt want to see a twitching bunny. I love bunnies. I collect the damn things.
I swear, it came out of nowhere. I am one of those drivers who stop for animals that are in the road. I have never killed anything more than a bird. They dont count. Ive never even killed a field mouse. I stop or slow down.
I heard the 'thump' 'thump' and felt a bump under my tire. I had hoped that I just rolled it around a little bit and it would run away and lead a happy life, eating grass and reproducing. I called Eric during my lunch and told him what had happened. He reassured me that the bunny was ok. On my drive home, I found the bunny. He wasnt flat and squished....well, not his body at least.
I cried a tear for the bunny. Seriously, I did.
I cant believe I killed a bunny. *sigh*
Im going to keep telling myself that he was on some kind of suicide mission. Maybe he was dared by the other bunnies. Maybe he was the bunny all the other kids picked on. Maybe, it wasnt suicide at all, but just a freak accident. Whatever the case, I felt bad and I will forever be known as a bunny killer....
Peace Out....

Its so hard taking a photo with 6 people in it at an arms length away. We were squished and sunburned.Kathy, Cory, CJ, Eric, Me and Travis. Cory and Travis are my boys. Kathy is CJs mom. You all know Eric, I think.
We had such a good time. It was hotter than, well, hot. We were sunburned, but smiling. It was just a great day. Dont let the look on Corys face fool you. He hates his photo taken.
There is another photo I want to post, but Im not sure what Eric would say. He has shorts on. Yes, it was hot enough that the man bought a pair of shorts. He picked them out all by himself and he looked cute. OH, and a swimsuit. I have a photo of that too. WANNA SEE???? I love you, honey.
I waited a year to go to this race. The week was cut short by my Grandmas passing, so we didnt get to do everything we normally do. Find drivers, get photos, drive around town and look for their cars on display. The week was a whirlwind of activity. I know that I will have next year and years to come, so whats one race? Im already counting down to next year!
Im not going to make any comments off of what Eric blogged. Hes so very 'green' when it comes to NASCAR. Its just not his thing, and Im ok with that. He stated he wants to go again next year, but not go to a race. He wants to sit in the parking lot while we are at the race. lol. Theres not much to do during the race while sitting in your car. Ive been there, done that. It sucked! He has 358ish days to change his mind.
Last year, Kathy and I met some of the most awesome people parked next to us. We ended up tailgating with them for the next 3 races. (there are 4 races a year at Chicagoland) This year we hooked up with them again. We actually got tickets with them so we all sat together. It was great to see them. We enjoyed each others company, good food and a few beers. We have already made plans to 'hook up' again for the September races. Cant wait!
Eric did well at his first race. We went to see a little bit of practice, and I dont think hes ever heard anything as loud as the cars zooming by. The sound doesnt bother me, its a rush! The sound is similar to a fighter jet flying overhead at about 100 yards. Its amazing! I got him some earplugs and he said it helped.
Eric took some amazing photos as well, but Im not sure if he has posted them or not. He got a new camera while he was here, because he forgot his at home. Personally I think it was just an excuse to get a new camera. I took pictures and so did Kathy. It seems I can never have enough photos of my Dale Jr.
I took this photo at the Saturday night race. The sky was amazing. I like this photo with the cars coming out of turn 4. I have about 10 more similar to this. The sky kept getting redder and redder. My God, it was amazing...
OK....I have decided that I shouldnt add photos to my blog. I had to call Eric for tech support. And after his support, this stupid thing isnt doing what I want it to do. It looks good here, but when I preview it, BLAH!
So anyway, I could go on and on about the weekend, but I think Im done. Im so glad that Eric got to go with us. It was an unexpected surprise to get him a ticket. I think he enjoyed himself. I know that he would say that he did because he was with me. Hes so sappy like that.
Until next time.
Peace out...

Hi...
Thanks to everyone who sent their condolences for my Grandma. It truly meant a lot. Death is always unexpected even when its expected. Im thankful that my Gram didnt suffer at all, she simply went to sleep. She is going to be so very missed in this family.
Thanks to Eric for being here for me. He was amazing. He let me do what had to be done. He helped when he could. He was a hug when I needed one. I love him and Im so thankful he was here for me. He just made it easier.
So much has happened this past week, I dont know where to start.
My Gram dying. The race weekend. My daughter telling me Im going to be a GRANDMA!
Yeah, Im still in a bit of shock over the Grandma thing. My daughter is 18, going on 28. Since my youngest was born, Jess was 3, we knew she would be a mom at a young age. She is amazing with children. I know that she is going to be a wonderful mom. That little part of me wished that she could have waited. In my heart, things happen for a reason. With so much pain and sorrow that has happened to this family this year, this is that shining light I have been waiting for. Im going to be a Grandma in March. WOW.
I probably should add that I love her boyfriend. He is 21, and a good kid. Some of the boys that she had dated in the past were just plain scary! Brad is a hard working, responsible kid. He takes such good care of Jessica. I know that they will both be wonderful, loving parents.
We find out in September if shes having twins and what the sex is. Twins run in his family.
*sigh*
This Grandma thing is going to take some getting used to.
I think Im going to blog about my race weekend another day. So much has happened, I need to collect my thoughts.
Thanks again for all your condolences.

Hi.
Eric made it here yesterday. He no sooner got here and we went to my girlfriends house for a cookout. He thinks Im finally showing him off.
We had a wonderful time playing bags, talking, eating and enjoying a roaring fire. We didnt see the local fireworks. I think after 40 years, they all look the same. It wasnt really discussed if we wanted to watch them or not. Eh, there is always next year.
I absolutely loved the comments left on Erics blog about the cow/horse. We are going to go and find that animal here in a little while. I will make an attempt to post the photo here later.
White with brown spots. Sounds kinda like a cow to me. You say cat, but it could be cow. Does it say Meow or Moo?
Eric played bags for the first time yesterday. Bags. Two boards 20 feet apart with a hole in the middle. 4 bean bags per team, tossed into the hole for points. He was ok. Not sure how many points he got, but it was another first for him.
Today we are going to my brothers for a cookout. Should be fun. My brother is a man of few words. His wife says enough for 2 though. Nothing wrong with that. They met Eric a few visits back, but really didnt have a chance to talk. I know it will be different this time.
My gram is still with us. I know I havent said much about her, but there is nothing really to report. She has gone downhill rapidly. The hospice nurse said it should be a matter of days, if not, hours. We thought she was going to pass yesterday, but her heart still beats. Strong woman.
Today my brother and I picked out her outfit. One less thing to do. Not that there is much 'to' do. All of her funeral arrangements have been made ahead of time. Thankfully.
I dont have much more to report. Im enjoying Eric. I missed him. I will be sure to report on anymore cow/horse sightings.
BTW.....Rene commented on eating horse. Well, my hometown is the location of the last horse slaughtering plant in the U.S. Something else to be proud of living here. Im not sure if it is still running as they have been trying to close it. Yes, I said trying. They open and close quite often.
Im on my way to the shower and then a drive in the country. Hope everyone had a happy 4th.
Peace Out.....

Its been a while. Miss me?
I have now beaten up my boyfriend....lol. Poor guy gets so much shit from me. I thank God he can take a joke.
Not much is new, honestly. Ive been working. Not my normal 40, but close enough.
We have a new store manager who dishes out hours way differently than the last manager. My last one would give hours if you asked. Which was always nice. She had her select few, me included, that would get overtime if we asked. The new guy, Im scared to ask! I got 'yelled' at for asking for 4 more hours this week. Sheesh! Im going to make a really good assumption that nobody will be getting any overtime anytime soon. Oh well.
All is well here. The weather has been unusually cool for this time of year. A ceiling fan keeps the house cool. Ok....a few ceiling fans.
Work is work. Im doing 2 overnights this week so we can set the 'back to school' set. It is one set that I hate doing. So many pens and pencils. A lot of product, not many people, and 2 days to do it. OH, and Eric will be here Friday. OH, and we have plans Friday to go to a girlfriends house for a cookout. It will be an interesting day, to say the least.
Im looking forward to seeing Eric. I miss him. I talk to him everyday. We text, talk and IM a lot. There hasnt been a day since he found me that we havent talked. I think, correct me if Im wrong, we are going on 3 months now. Time has gone by so quickly.
I have taken a few vacation days to go to Pittsburgh to see him later this month. Should be exciting. Im taking the train instead of driving. It takes the same amount of time either way, but a train just sounds more exciting. With the price of gas, I hope to save a little money.
Race weekend in 2 weeks. My kids and I are all so excited. The all access pit passes fell through. Im still a little down about that, but I know that my day will come. For this, Im patient. My kids dont have tickets to the race, but they have so much fun tailgating in the parking lot. Its a night race. First one for Chicagoland Speedway. Its going to be a long, WONDERFUL day. I can NOT wait! I will post pictures when I get back.
My back is, well, sore. At the end of the day, its good to just lay in bed. Then I die. 230 is early. Or late, depending on when you typically go to bed. I have adjusted better than I thought I would. By Thursday, Im tired. Friday morning sleep in is a wonderful thing. I wish I could work 32 hour weeks every week. That joy ride will come to an end soon enough.
So I tried to post every day. Then I tried to post every other day. Now I just dont have a damn thing to say. I guess my life before work was more exciting.
I do have one thing I havent shared. Im on a diet. The doctor said lose weight, so I am. I dont have a scale, so I dont know how much Ive lost. The jeans tell me 10 or so pounds. Im sure Eric will say more.
I have given up on red meat. Its been almost 4 weeks now since Ive had a hamburger. Ive switched to turkey burgers. They are amazing! Slap a few on the grill and they are pretty damn good. I have also quit eating sweets. Thats hard for me as I love my chocolate.
My youngest son made brownies last night. I would die for a good brownie. Well, after they came out of the oven, I just couldnt help myself. I had a very small one, and it was like heaven! Thankfully they arent as good the next day. I like mine fresh, hot and right out of the oven. He said hes not making anymore. lol
When I find out how much Ive lost, I will let you all know.
All for now. Need to think about dinner for my starving children.
If Im not here before the 4th.....Please everyone have a safe one and have fun!!!
Peace Out....
