A Little Gossip, A Little Chat……

So goes the lines of a song from Man of La Mancha:

A little gossip, a little chat

A little idle talk of this and that

If no one listens then it’s just as well

At least I won’t be caught – in any lies I tell.

No – I have no clue what brought that on – so don’t ask!

Enny-hoo….snippets of catching up. Last Monday I left work very late. It was dark out. It was downtown Atlanta – not a wonderously safe part. I was watching all around me, but not my feet. I gracefull sprawled my big old fat butt (and all attached parts) across the parking lot when I stepped on an uneven piece of the pavement wrong. Sigh. I am just now starting to move around without crutches.

I went home for Thanksgiving – back to Florida. It was a lovely holiday. I enjoyed my dad & kids immensely. The state of Georgia will soon be richer as a result of the speeding ticket I got. “Now slow down a little ma’am” OK. So if 83 was too fast – a little slower would be 81 – is THAT acceptable officer?????

I noticed, while I was in Florida, that I really miss it and want to live there again. I haven’t even been in Atlanta a year yet. There’s no pleasing some people (specifically me) is there?

My friend Bear that has been living with me the past few months is driving me NUTS! Yes, I know, it’s not a very long drive. But I can’t stand it any more. It’s more about me than it is about him – I just can’t deal with another person in my house, my space, my life. Selfish? Probably. Do I feel guilty? Not a bit. So now I am working up the intestinal fortitude to break it to him that it’s adios time.

I found out that my son is certifiably a Cherokee Indian. Seems that someone in his dad’s family actually bothered to trace the family tree….and Indians fell out of the branches. Pretty cool. Of course, all you have to do is take one look at my boy to know that he is a large part Native American – but now we have proof. He said that he doesn’t want to go to school and learn to speak Cherokee though. I am disappointed. They won’t let ME in the school…..I know – I am trying to live my life through my kids. Darn it all – why do I have to be mature and encourage them to be independent?

Enough rambling, chatting, etc for one night. I think I am all caught up now. Perhaps a bona fide entry will happen again one day soon. As my daughter would say…Peace out.

i’ve been in new england for less than a year and i miss colorado so much. wonder how long til homesicknees goes away? take care

Hi, Sunshine! Just stopped by when I saw you highlited. Hope you can find someone to be with when you get as old as I am–have only a 97 yr aunt left. Sure glad for all those kids, g-kids and gg’s.

Almost forgot–It’s very hard to read the border stuff on the grape (?) colored backgrund. From notes of others it must appear different to different viewers.

So sorry you got hurt. Same thing happened to my friend Ghost Dancer! Pretty cool about the native American relatives. I think my grandpa was part Nez Perce but there’s no way to tell for sure.

I caught up with you yesterday…but never had time to leave a note here. Several weeks ago, I too got a speeding ticket…and no seat belt. I passed a PO in Houston while I was speeding…He said he was embarrased…I wasn’t paying attention. [Sam]A10042

*smiling*

Our roommate is a dear friend but he’s starting to get on our nerves immensely. Every family needs their private time-you get the courage up to get rid of Bear and we’ll work on getting rid of ours-good luck!

Hi SW! Those holidays are just STARTING! Good time for a little housecleaning. 🙂 Sorry about your ticket love, they hurt! I-75 means the limit is 75…only I-85 is 85. It’s easy…Peace, Lincoln

Yup, the being mature part is the downside, but from what you’ve written about your kids, SW, that’s a very small price to pay. Healing energy on the way for that foot, ankle, leg, and those bad eyes!

Maybe Bear could join a santa parade as ‘cookie bear,’ and just shuffle off with the clowns?

there are some good benefits that come with being native american starting with free health care at least in Oklahoma.

Loved this chatty entry. Sorry about the fall and the ticket. Adios, Bear!

Give him some ruby slippers and tell him there’s no place like home…..his own. Only kidding, I don’t envy you the heart-to-heart, but know you will handle it with your usual style and grace.

Thanks for the visit, Sunshine. Spent a couple of Winters at Clearwater in our motorhome. Real nice. The Social Security retirees kept prices down. Re Bear,if you are all by yourself and get sick it could be a problem.

OMG! this is too weird..I’m 1/8 Cherokee! We’re more alike than I thought! Hope that foot is getting better. Congrats on the ticket! LOL….

So glad you find writing to be therapy for the soul.

I almost forgot, when should I come over to start on the decorations??

*hugs* sorry you got hurt! Keep yourself on your toes, and watch em too. *froggie fairy dust to keep those toes tapping, not tripping* Slow down, you move to fast, you gotta just not Drive on past…

Loved to catch up on your ramblings!:) those speeding tickets are the hardest to beat! Only ticket that I’ve had to pay was a speeding ticket out of state, going 70 in a 55. The state of MN got a little richer that

summer… HEY, it was supposed to let me know when my note was getting too long!

Hi Grace. LOL Just kiddin ya. Hope you’re not seriously hurt and not in a lot of pain. Are you keeping that leg “up” with ice packs?

Thank you for your wise comment.

I know what you mean about living through your kids. My boys are part Native American too. They are pretty “OK, Ho hum” about it but I think it’s neat and want them to learn about their heritage. No dice!

Dang the bad luck! boo-boos and speeding tickets, borish houseguests. Well, at least you have a certified Cherokee in the family.

that’s so cool to be part cherokee… pity his mother is so un-cool she ends up face down in a parking lot!!!! only teasing 🙂
