She’s Not Invincible

My grandmother is almost 70 years old and is the picture of health. In fact, I think she may be healthier than all of her grandchildren. I’m not sure what it is, but she is just blessed with great health. Earlier this month she started getting really bad headaches and also painful back and neck pain. It was so strange to see her sleeping a lot and not really being herself. She went to the hospital and they gave her some pain killers and told her to go see the doctor. (A lot of help, huh?)

Anyway,  she went to the doctor and they diagnosed her with a pinched nerve. After a few days of relaxation and taking the pills the doctor gave her she felt much better. I’m glad she only had a pinched nerve and not stenosis of the spine. She would have had to go through a lot more than what she went through. And trust me, for someone who never gets sick, that’s a lot of pain.

Mom Got

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe

Mom got expertsatellite at her house so I think we’ll be spending new year’s there. My dad’s all about watching whatever bowl game is on and there are always tons right around then so I don’t want to disappoint him like I did last year and have everyone over only to find out we didn’t get the channels he needed. He spent all of new year’s day in a sports bar if you can believe it! So anyway, mom’s hosting and it should be a heck of a party like it always is at her house. It’s a smallish place so everything’s always really crowded and she makes so much food it’s disgusting to tell you the truth. But if there’s one thing that woman can do it’s cook so we all just let her go at it when she’s in the mood and we eat what we can – there are usually leftovers for days to come after an event at moms. I know she gets a kick out of it though so who am I to say no?

Living On Logs

I know this may sound weird, but I’ve always wanted to live in a log cabin. I don’t even know why, I just do. I think this desire started a few years ago when I watched this special about extreme homes on HGTV. Ever since then I’ve always wanted to live in one of those. I remember years ago when I used to watch old reruns of ‘Coach’, they also had a log cabin on there. I used to just want to stay in one during a vacation, but once I saw that you could live in them all year long I changed my mind.

I don’t think I’ll ever get to live in a log cabin any time soon, so I’d definitely settle for a log bed. I love those! I also love the barn beds that look just like the barn house doors. How cool would it be to sleep on those! That seems a little more realistic than living in a log cabin. Especially in this city. LOL
