Did you ever hear a song so good you wanted to share it with the world....I did...it was from a movie Charlie and I watched, they played it at the end and I made him scroll through the credits until I found out what it was and ran to itunes to buy it....
The movie was The Cleaner, it had Samuel Jackson, Ed Harris and Eva Mendes...it was a good movie!!
But this song stuck with me...and I want to share it with you....

California....
I had to travel to california over the weekend, my mom is still struggling to get better in the hospital, still on a trach/ventilator. Very bad stomach problems that they can't seem to figure out how to get her well.
Anyone who knows me, knows how much I hate california, after growing up there, I was so happy when I found the desert life suited me better then the cold damp beach life. But I go. It usually rains and it did as we were leaving.
The one great thing about california is I get to spend time with my son (and his very smart & beautiful wife). Travis is such a good person, he is the only person who can tolerate my mom and her over bearing cranky-ness. They have always been close and even more so as she got older and more dependant on him. He checks on her everyday now that she is at a hospital close by him.
My mom cannot speak with the trach/vent so she can only use hand gestures, she saves the one finger gestures for the nurses, but one time when Travis and I were walking out and I was saying goodbye she circled above her head and pointed to Travis, I know what it meant, Travis knows too, Well, she did not have to tell me, my son is an Angel, and I could not be more proud of him for the roll he is taking in the care of my mom, his grandma. I love him.

Lazy day!
I took this saturday and sunday off from all responsibilities. Sometimes you need to do that, so you can re-focus and set new goals.I stayed in my jammies and made silver art clay stuff, cleaned my craft room, made bbq chicken salad (recipe is on the cooking blog).
I made my sister a scrapbook bracelet, she already had one but it broke so I had to make a new one.
I made myself a Big Bang Theory necklace, gotta love "the sheldon" and the soft kitty song!

Hello!
Well, guess I need to change my post, the new year has arrived, wow, 2012, I can remember being in grade school and writing 1977 and thinking what will the years in 2000 be like???
It was such a long way off back then!
We have lots of work to keep us busy and that is a good thing. I have just been cooking simple meals and trying to get my house back in order, took down the Christmas decorations last night, so it is cleaning all day today. I got the year end receipts all totaled and ready for the taxman!
I made a simple meal last night but we really enjoyed it so it went straight to the cooking blog, go check it out if you like Chicken broccoli fettuccine alfredo!
This year I resolve to walk on the treadmill more, and keep a clean simple house, free of clutter and junk! That's it for me. No big resolutions....just live a simple happy life.
Happy New Year everyone!
