THURSDAY 13 – Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy

Good Morning!

AND… ♥♥♥♥

To this handsome guy right here!
My 2nd son and my number three in the birth order.
How did 34 years just whip through our lives?
This young man is hilarious, super smart, a college grad, a hard worker, an amazing singer – think Michael Buble’ – and honestly, everybody loves him! Omgosh. I just love him to pieces and you guys, he would make you laugh so much.
He’s been nothing but a joy, seriously, and I am so lucky.


Okay! Well, it’s Thursday, so it’s time for my Thursday 13!
Thursday 13 is just a list of 13 things you choose to post on, you guessed it, Thursdays!
What would your Thursday 13 look like?
If you want to join in, go on over to New Thursday 13 and sign up with Mr. Linky.

1.) I still can’t hear out of my right ear. They gave me steroids in case I had an inflamed nerve in my ear. Apparently I don’t otherwise the steroids would’ve worked and I’d be able to hear out of that ear. Next stop, the ears, eyes, nose and throat Dr. but not until after my trip back east for my grandson’s graduation. Thankfully my eyes still work because the most important thing to me right now is seeing my grandson graduate!

2.) If the Drs. can’t figure out what’s going on with my hearing I may have to get a hearing aid and holy hell those things are expensive even with insurance!

3.) My daughter, who’s son is graduating, keeps backyard chickens and her favorite chicken is Betty.
This is my daughter and Betty.

4.) I decided to make Betty a friend. Her name is Hazel and she has her very own AI chicken coop.

5.) I was sad to hear that Pope Francis had died and I’m curious to see who our next Pope will be. I hope it’s someone with a progressive mindset like Pope Francis had.

6.) I accidently ended up watching a movie on Paramount+ that I thought was going to be a series.

It was different… It’s supposedly about the voting in of the next Pope when the current Pope dies. It could’ve been a good movie if not for the ridiculous ending. So there’s 120 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

7.) I’m working on another crocheted chicken. Apparently my daughter and I are both obsessed with chickens now. She can’t stop buying them and I can’t stop making them. In her defense tho, we did have chickens when the kids were growing up so it’s a nice memory for her and now for her kids too.

8.) I totally spaced that we’ve had Easter since I last posted. Geesh. I hope everyone had a good holiday. It’s amazing how the Easter bunny just keeps bringing you a basket no matter how old you get.

9.) My favorite Easter candy is the Brach’s black jelly beans.

10.) I need to get my hair cut before my trip. I’m thinking a bob of some sort, longish or shaggy, or a shaggy pixie. I haven’t decided yet but I’m leaning towards the shaggy pixie.

11.) I drank my coffee with milk this morning rather than Half and Half. The difference is like making cream of tomato soup with milk or making it with water which some people do. Not me. I need that extra creaminess!

12.) I think we need to take our dog to doggie school to learn how to get along with other dogs. He is so aggressive when he sees another dog and it doesn’t matter how big or how small the other dogs are. When we’re outside he’ll almost jerk your arm off with all of his charging and snarling and growling. Inside he goes nuts back and forth at the patio door. I know one day the blinds are going to come tumbling down.

13.) One of the side effects of the steroids they gave me for my ear is that they keep me awake. They also put me in a downer mood. So, basically I’ve been up all night with a shitty mood. Lol. Hopefully, I’ll wind down enough to get a nap in. If I’m that lucky I’ll be back around to visit and comment on your posts when I wake up.


Well, here we are in May… Holy smokes. Next month we’ll be half way to Christmas! Lol. I can’t wait! Aside from heading out to my grandson’s graduation I have zero plans for the month of May. I’ll be back east until the first week of June and I have a feeling June will be a busy month for me.

What are your plans for May? June?? Anything thrilling and spine chilling you’d like to share?? I’d love to read about them so drop me some comment love so I can be the nosey bitch that you all know me to be!

THURSDAY 13 – RANDOM

If it’s Thursday, then it’s got to be time for my Thursday 13!
Thursday 13 is just a list of 13 things you choose to post, and it’s my go-to post for all Thursdays that I first learned of from Liz over at Laws of Gravity. If you want to join in, go over to New Thursday 13 and sign up with Mr. Linky. FYI, it’s not as easy as you might think.

1 – My morning Angel card. – The Chariot, I’m on my way with Archangel Metatron by my side!
*** Metatron, his name means the angel of presence.

2 – We’re having a super windy day today!
My favorite weatherman, Kody, posted this. His forecasts are 110% accurate, and he’s funny!

3 – A quote I read online today. Perfect for the times we’re living in.
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.” ~ Mark Twain

4 – I love that it’s warm enough to have the windows open. I don’t love that my dog almost broke thru the screen to get to a squirrel. And this is why we have sticks in the windows and sliding glass door.

5 – This was such a good book. I highly recommend it.
The Story Collector by Evie Woods

6 – Easter is coming up and there was a conversation about using paper plates. That was a big no for me. What about you? Is it okay to use paper plates at the holidays?

7 – I made this crazy bookmark when I was sick in bed.

8 – Please retire this phrase, “Do better.”

9 – The #1 best seller on the New York Times best seller list is…
Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
Have any of you read it?

10 – The #1 trending song in the U.S. is “Lachryma” by Ghost.
I like the band Ghost. They have an old rock vibe. Lots of guitars.

11 – My windows are open, and I’m listening to a “garage band” the next street over practice all of their music. They sound pretty good.

12 – My son’s fridge notes.

13 – The day I’m looking forward to and yet not.. My second oldest grandson’s high school graduation. I’ll be heading back east at the end of May, same as I did last year for my oldest grandson’s graduation. Man, where did the time go?
I’m already crying and I know my daughter will be a wreck… They all just grow up so fast!
This is the countdown on my phone.
