Hey Pat,

I think I would rather wrestle with a big monster than endure a colon-whatchamacallit!
But I admire you for being a brave soldier and taking care of your health. I think my last real physical was after my son was born. I am from the backwards line of thinking: if it ain't broke why fix it? I am sure this will come back to haunt me one day. lol. Hey at least I know where I can borrow a good recipe for flaxseed meal bread if I need it.

BTW, I love Elsie's picture in her pink sweater. You have very pretty grandchildren! Is she still helping with the garden, or is it old hat by now?

Hi, I've tried everything I know to get a "breakthrough" with my shower thing. Nothing helps. Glad to hear you are trying some new things - no matter how small. Any progress is good progress, right? Maryanne

Perfect score? What's this I heard on the morning news report? Why am I always the last to know? Why am I not surprised? Nice job. Move your clothe clip up to the blue (that's how they train them in Otis's pre-school). Great video. How do I live so long without seeing these things? What a classic. I added it to my fave list at youtube and read lots of comments. Yep, tom petty makes a wicked Mad Hatter! Did I read that the girl is ...who? ...another classic rocker?

Sorry you just can't break through with the shower problem. Is there any way you can approach it that would make a difference? Maybe change just a small part of it to make it less powerful? Hey, I have the major problems and panic at around 8 P.M. until 9 P.M., just around my bedtime rituals, and sometimes it seems like totally out of my control. But then last night, (don't laugh), I slept with a different new flash light under my pillow, which was a change. That's about the best I could do.

Happy Birthday, Oz! I love you and can't wait to marry you.

Hi There, I LOVE the Big Bang Theory! Not too much on reality shows. NCIS is very different from the "CSI" shows. I'm really hooked on it.

You have beautiful pictures in your "gallery". We're having terrible weather to try to get much done outside. It rains every 10 minutes; we finally got our flowers in the ground today, although it was a little wet for planting.

Do you have pets? We have a cocker spaniel puppy - 7 months old. He's really, really cute but lots of trouble. Our other dog was really laid back and easy to have around. This guy acts like he's on speed or something. Oh well, he'll probably grow out of it!

Well, the Big Bang Theory is on now, so I'm going to go watch it. Hope you're having a good weekend. Maryanne

Thanks so much for the blog comment. I hope you are well and relaxed this weekend.

Still trying to find a good movie in theaters this year. Saw Arthur Newman with Colin Firth and Emily Blunt and was a bit underwhelmed. They performed so well. The writing and story wasn't much to remark about though.

Hi, sorry things don't seem any better for you and your son. Hope you are coping with all of this. Struggling with Ocd and Hubbie at the moment as well

Thankies for the blog comment Pat! Nice to feel good every once in a while hey? :P

I gave my graduating therapist a spa treatment gift card. We all need to be pampered.

Glad to hear your visit with the doctor turned out okay!

I need some help. Phillip has really been throwing a monkey wrench into my routine (rituals) and I'm getting really anxious about it all. I feel like I'm being punished for the lake thing or something.

It's time to do the dreaded shower routine. He's going gallivanting off to the store and around about. He left me with everything to do. I have so much that needs done! Any progress is good progress, right? My shower getting over with will relax me for the rest of the day, right? Sometimes it just doesn't seem like it's worth it. I'm getting really depressed again. Go figure. Maryanne

Hi Maryanne,

My soaps are my favorite shows to watch. I also must confess to some reality shows: the Voice, Survivor, the Amazing Race and Dancing with the Stars. Then there's drama: Revenge, the Following, Nashville, Dexter, the Client, Homeland, Nurse Jackie, Once Upon a Time. My comedy favs are: Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Mike and Molly. And of course I love me some Anderson Cooper. Geez do you think I listed enough shows? lol. I bet you are sorry you asked. I have never watched the CSI shows for some reason but I bet I would have liked them. I may have to give them a try.
Have a nice day. I've got loads of yard work to keep me busy this weekend.

Jane :)
