Fritz Meredith

Are these not the sweetest kittens ever!?!?!?!? How dare someone abandon and abuse them!!!

They are doing great now. Fritz's leg is healing nice- he can walk on it now and Meredith eats like a horse!!!!!

Wasted day??? I think not

What a crazy day it was.....

I was sure I had a Dr's appt on monday- 100% sure actually. So Harv drove me into town at 6:00am and drops me off at mom's. I wasn't sure what time it was at- but I knew it was on Monday. No one is home at mom's house- so much for my plans for stealing a ride..... So I call the DR's office and find out that my appt isn't until TUESDAY!!!!
What a wasted day!!!!
But then I remembered- Janine had told me that Papa's service would be on Monday-OK...we have a plan!!!! Day not wasted. So after calling about 7 different places- his service is on WEDNESDAY!!!!
Day still wasted!!!!
But wait- I called Tami to apologize for missing Merek's first birthday- She's not busy!!!!
Day not wasted!!!
I had an awesome time with Tami- someone who talks as much as me!!! We got some coffee and went back to her house so Merek could nap......What a great day!!!!!

Then it got better- NAP TIME!!!!!

And then even better- Got to go for coffee with Jamie after she was done work- and Harv was just finished work, so he joined us too.......

DAY NOT WASTED!!!!

Deere John,

You would be so proud of me....It's finally happened..... I have shot my first gopher... You have to understand- I have never shot at an animal in my life-But I got him with the first shot!!!!

Oh my word am I ever a hick!!!!!!

Sorry I haven't written in a while- since I have been out at the farm I don't have access to the internet like I used to- I will try to do better tho...... Try......

I love my house....It needs lots of little fixes.... But I like it....Tazz is the happiest cat in the world... Talking about Tazz.....

I was having a wonderful sleep the other day when I hear this awful-I don't quite know what to call it- "Yowling" perhaps????? So, as aI awake, my cat comes flying into my bedroom- chasing a mouse- yes.... A MOUSE!!!!! Into MY bedroom!!!!!!

Needless to say- the mouse got chased out- I haven't seen him since then- however, that was the end of that wonderful sleep!!!!

I don't recall telling you about being gibbled- but I am!!!! I am on WCB right now due to a right shoulder injury......Well, its been two months now and after an Assessment in North Battleford- I am informed that I am injured!!!!! I am glad that we drove down there for that.

Sorry, I gotta run......My arm is tired......

Talk at ya later

Anj

p.s- orthopaedic surgeon on thursday- yeah!!!!

...I think??????

Deere John,

I know I haven't written in quite a while..... and it's not because I take you for granted..... but that is something I think about ALOT lately...taking things for granted- I mean.....

You see, John, a few weeks ago I hurt my shoulder at work.... Not a biggie- right???? Well, by the time I finally got into the doctor, I found out that I had a seperated AC Joint (shoulder) and a partially dislocated shoulder, 4 front ribs and 5 back ribs out of place!!!!! (Not a biggie though)

So I had a few, oh so loving friends, start to call me the "One Winged Wonder" (Thank you friends!!!!) Some day it will be my turn to return the favour.......

So what else is new around here???? Well, I finally have my own home to move into- 4 bedrooms.... on a ranch!!!! I am pretty excited.....It's not far from where I grew up!!!!! 4 miles to be exact!!!!!!

There are going to be a lot of changes, but I am excited. I feel like my life is finally falling into place again.....one step at a time though......

Time to start hunting down furniture, dishes, bedding, the whole works.....I can't wait to be settled in.... I know it's not going to be easy, but I can't wait to step up to the plate......

Well, gotta run, but great talking again John,

Yours Truly

The One Winged Wonder!!!!!

Goethe:
Treat a man as he is, he will remain so. Treat a man the way he can be and ought to be, and he will become as he can be and should be."

Expectations......

Deere John,

I read this quote today....It made me laugh and then it made me think:

Dennis Wholey:
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

No one ever warned me about "THE BULL".......

No one warned me that I could do everything right

and still get thrown thru the air and trampled......

No one warned me that I would get pulled out of the ring on a stretcher, and be expected to walk away as if nothing happened......

..........and yet they are disappointed when I crawl away, with broken bones and shattered spirit

Hmmmmm..... Where were they??????

Maybe I am bitter.....and jaded.....and right pissed at God

Maybe I am tired about hearing that God has a plan in all of this,

(cause I know that when I ruin someone's life and shatter their dreams there always is an ultimate plan)

Maybe I am frustrated that with hundreds of so called friends-

4 people cared enuf to call....

(thank you my 4 real friends)

Sorry to those of you who may read this and take offence......I need to be angry right now.... I hope someday I won't be.....but until then................

So what have I learned from all this????

I'm gonna be a carnivore!!!!!!!

Twitterpated.....

Deere John,

I hope you have been enjoying this beautiful weather.... I know I have!!! There is just so much to see.... and do..... and touch..... and taste...... feel... and......... Whoa!!!!! Slow down!!!! Would you call this "Twitterpated" or is it just SEASONAL ADHD???

I learned something the other day..... No, that's not right...... I re-learned something the other day..... I learned that I love MUD PUDDLES!!!!!

As a child we are quickly taught not to jump in PUDDLES..... we will catch a cold, get our feet wet......ruin our Sunday best........ You name it, I have heard it.... So we develop a fear of this most wonderful, natural form of "chocolate milk"....bathing......facials..... and most of all fun!!!!

You see, John, as a child, I couldn't wait for the winter to end and for the fun to begin.... As a child, when the weather warmed- it was the PUDDLES.... then as a young adult I began to notice boys- and how easy they were to throw in PUDDLES...... as a young adult, I had my first heart break, and I swore off boys forever- but I never swore off PUDDLES!!!!! And now as an adult, I promise that if I ever truly fall in love- PUDDLES will always be my first love!!!

So as the weather warms, and the grass starts to turn green and the leaves start to grow- I will celebrate PUDDLES!!!

When it takes me 45 minutes for a 10 minute walk-
I will celebrate PUDDLES!!!!

When I take the time to watch the earth worm surface, and see what neat critters God
created.....
I will celebrate PUDDLES!!!!!

So how did I learn.....or should I say re-learn about my passion for PUDDLES...... as Children you find us playing in the PUDDLES..... as Adults you find us driving thru the PUDDLES!!!!!

I have realized that it wasn't our safety and health our parents were concerned with.......... They weren't afraid we were going to get sick or ruin our clothes.....They were afraid we would drink that PUDDLE before they got to drive thru it!!!!!

What do you think, John????? Twitterpated or Seasonal ADHD????? Either way- as the air is filled with the smells of spring.... the roads with signs of slush.... I will take my time.... and smile at strangers.... enjoy the sun.... the sounds of the birds migrating back...... I will forget what I was doing.... I will forget where I was supposed to be..... and I will be late... But I will be happy!!!!!

So a challenge to all you "GROWN UP'S" out there:

The next time you see a PUDDLE, don't swerve past it. Take time..... Explore around it.... Jump in it.... Get dirty.... Laugh..... and when your drive away- Splash hard!!!!
