Meredith Says For Me To Get Off My Ass and Write Something!

These were not Mere's exact words.  She said it much more nicely, but that was basically the message.  It made me laugh anyway!  Besides, she is right.  I need to write something before I forget how to type.  Ella is alive, just not that well. 

Still dealing with lots of medical issues here, so there is not much new happening since I wrote Roses and Gatorade.  Dr. Sam is ready to step in at any time I start to get "mopey," as he calls it.  I am staying as positive as I can.  Sam says we are only 

                                      "Looking forward."

So, I have decided to complete the popular meme floating out there in blogland these days.  It is my turn to purloin and join this band of meme rustlers. Yeehaw!  Here goes.

BIO

Marriages - 1
Proposals - 2
Divorces - None, Nope, Never

HAVE YOU EVER?


Shot a gun - Quite often.  Sam and I go out to a private range.

Quit a job - Twice

Been on TV - With my 4th graders

Fallen in love -  Only once, but I got it right the first time.

Driven cross country - Well I have been to both coasts,
                                      but not on the same trip.

Hit a deer - Yes, on our wedding night.  Sam always said if
                    we survived our first 24 hours of marriage, we
                    could get through anything.

Watched a birth - Just kittens.  Didn't get to see my babies
                             because they took away my glasses.  
                             Yes, I was pissed off.

Ridden in an ambulance - Twice

Sung karaoke - Goodness, no.  I can't even stay on key
                          for the Happy Birthday song.

Ice skated - I tried many times, but I was much better at 
                    drinking cocoa by the heater.

Been surfing - Absolutely not.  Couldn't even water ski.

Seen the ocean - I love the ocean - doesn't matter which one.

Ridden a horse - Did this as a kid at camp.  I sucked.

Almost died - Drank insecticide when I was 4 or 5 years old.
                       Had my stomach pumped.

Been punched - Quite often as a kid.  My nickname could
                          have been Scrappy-Doo.

Punched back - Most assuredly.  Must confess - it was me
                          who threw the first punch once in a while.
                          Don't pick on my baby brother!

ARE YOU:


IN LOVE NOW? – Oh, my.  The answer to this one has been 
                                "yes" since I was 15 years old.
