Groundhog Versus Bird! Who Won?

Replaces :Image:Groundhog Standing1.jpg, which...

 

I had to share this one, because it was hysterical. I never seen anything like it. I was on my way home and when I got out the car there was a groundhog standing up in the grass and all of a sudden this huge bird swooped down not once but three times and attacked the groundhog and just kept going. I felt so bad for him. Poor guy didn’t even have a fighting chance from that bird. I have never seen anything like it all.

If any one wants a good audiobook to read this is awesome . I got it at Barnes and noble. I was  waiting for it to go on sale and it did. I have wanted this book for the longest time and it is well recommended to read. This is one book you can’t put down after you start reading it, except in this case (stop listening) LOL

Boston Basketball/ Boston Marathon

Now see I find this kind of odd that this issue with the Boston basketball team and then the bombing at the Boston marathon. Same town right after what happened a week before. Our taxes pay for these I???? to investigate and before they do they assume it was a terrorist. Well I am not so sure it is. I mean what are the chances that right after this issue with the basketball team does this happen in the same state. Did they ever think it might slightly have something to do with the issue of what happened with the basketball team.

See this is why people get scared because they assume before they investigate and that is not right.  Our taxes pay them to do their job, so why not just do it, and find the truth before you go spouting innuendos of what you think, or who you think did it.

Calories verses Grams

According to Noom weight loss you should look at Calories over Grams. Calories need to be less than the grams in any food you eat.  Now don’t always assume that lite food is better because it is not true. And here is an example of what I am talking about. I was in the store one day and after what Noom taught me I did a little checking with syrup. So I looked at a regular bottle of syrup over a lite bottle of syrup and to my surprise, regular syrup had less calories and grams than lite syrup did. I know it sounds stupid right, why is it lite  if it has more calories and grams then regular syrup. I don’t know why, we will have to ask them that question. So like I said if you want to lose weight then check your calories over grams .

What’s the verdict? Don’t judge a book by it’s cover only

I tend to judge a book by its cover but I also read the insert to see if I would like the book. I like books you can read and never put it down or get bored with it.

Dreams and Our Subconscious Mind

sleep

I have been wanting to blog about this for the longest time now, I want to talk about this topic because it is very important for people to understand that our subconscious is our thoughts and our dreams we have. Everyone dreams, but only some remember, and some don’t and where some have vivid dreams in color or black and white. Others just dream! I on the other hand have such vivid dreams, that I not only remember them they feel real like I am in them. For instance if you had a dream where you trip you feel your leg jerk, or if someone is chasing you, you sleep walk or jump. Believe me I know it is crazy but true.

There are 2 types of sleep and that is REM which is rapid movement and then there is NREM and that is non rapid eye movement and with that being said there are 4 stages of sleep which 3 are of NREM and 1 of REM . So the 1st stage is where you fall asleep, the second stage is where you go into deeper sleeping, and the 3rd stage is the slow wave sleep and the REM kicks in and this is where we have our dreams. It was very interesting to learn all this while I was in college in one of the elective courses I took.

I had this dream where I was in the desert and I saw three Arabs digging in the sand (no harm please don’t get upset) and I was standing there and then I looked up at the sun when a black bird flew across the sun, (just a note the next day was the day they banned my blog) and I will get to that because there is a moral to this story.

So I had to look the meaning of this dream up and when I di, this is what it said” So (desert) signifies a loss or misfortune), bareness, loneliness, isolation, deserted and left behind. The sand means a shift or change in your attitude, (the sands of time) wasting time and letting time go by, a sense of balance. Now the Sun means peace of mind, enlighten, tranquility, fortune goodwill and insight, it also represents radiant energy,. The sun is a good omen and it is also a metaphor for your son, which my son did finally make contact after 30 yrs., and also said that the represents some sort of pain and chaos occurring in my life. so I lost my blog, got back, my son made contact, and now I am in severe pain from my injuries and have to have surgery. So you see what I mean if you can learn to pay attention to your dreams they will tell you things. and last but not least I saw the Blackbird and that represents lack of motivation which I had lost because of all the pain I am in it can also represent jealousy, lust and temptation but not on my watch LOL! 

I want to apologize

I am sorry everyone, I didn’t mean to cause any problems. I don’t know what happen but i am back. I am so happy because when I lost my blog I felt like I was lost without my best friend and I was very upset and I am very sorry. Thank you for letting me have my blog back.

Sorry I haven’t been on I have been going with a crazy schedule with PT and doctors and all that, I will be back soon I promise

I am so sorry everyone I have left you all way to long. My injuries have gotten worse and I have not been able to really do anything at all and in a lot of pain They say I might have to have surgery. I have been referred by 2 doctors to a neurosurgeon and having another MRI to see just how bad my got from the injuries in January 2010. I promise if I can stand to sit without pain I will be back I miss everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know what has been going on. I know one thing I can not take the pain it is so severe I can barely function.

Well I saw the neurosurgeon today, so this is the second worse day of my life after the fall because he told me he won’t do surgery because the damage in my neck is extensive. so I just want to follow-up, I finally got an appointment with another neurosurgeon and hopefully we can get this done so I can have my life back again. I haven’t been able to do anything and I especially miss my blog and my photography .

Ok everyone , i want to let you know I am seeing the Neurosurgeon tomorrow. so I will have an update after tomorrow. Wish me luck.Well to let you know the outcome of that 1 1/2 hour trip to the doctor was to me he wont do the surgery either. I don’t know anymore I am so tired of fighting with the pain everyday. I don’t know if I would rather be tired of fighting the pain or be tired from taking the medicine just so I can sleep at night without being in pain all I know is it is getting worse and worse by the day.

"Those aren't Christmas cookies, Grandma," says Isla. She's looking at a new batch of Melting Moments fresh from the oven, each decorated with a jewel of raspberry jam (no sugar added) and crowned with flakes of real gold leaf.

"Of course they are," I say. "These are the cookies I make every Christmas. Ergo, they are Christmas cookies." I smile and take a big bite.

This past weekend was so beautiful.

There was a chill in the air and pumpkin picking on our minds.

One of MY favorite parts of our fall day trips is the scenery to and from.

But if you ask my girls, theirs would be the PUMPKINS!

So many different varieties.....

These wheelbarrows are just too small.

Here's the loot!

(I really like the blue ones)

Run, Run, as Fast as You Can...

Reblogged from BitterSweet:

...But you'll never escape my ravenous sweet tooth, Mr. Gingerbread Man.

Fully embracing the temptations of excess, especially abundant in this celebratory season, all I want to make and eat is candy. Typically, just a bite or two of concentrated sweetness will do me, but reaching a sugar coma has seemed to be the end goal recently. At least, that's how the revelry tends to end, with my poor throbbing head so much the worse for wear.

I'm sure most people have heard of  the "elf on the shelf", but I myself just learned about this last night at my daughters curling practice.  One of her coaches has an "elf" named Ginger.

The idea behind the elf on the shelf is really fun and quite creative from a parenting point of view.

This is a Christmas Tradition that I'd love to incorporate into my home even though my kids are getting a little older and two of them are in their 20's.

SANTA AND SARAH

Three years ago, a little boy and his grandmother came to see Santa at the McAllister Mall in Saint John. The child climbed up on his lap, holding a picture of a little girl.

Who is this?" asked Santa, smiling. "Your friend?

"Yes, Santa,' he replied. "My sister,  Sarah, who is very sick," he said sadly.

Simbas Story

Reblogged from Angies Grapevine:

Simba, Sim's, Big Brown dog, Lovey she goes by many names.
We first met Simba about 5 years ago, she was a very different dog then.
She was the skinniest thing I'd ever seen with beautiful shiny fur and the most beautiful brown eyes.
She was taken from her "home" I use that term loosely from our local Humane Society…
