Happy Birthday to Me!!!!! Started off with the hubby making breakfast, scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes O'Brian. Delicious! Then, we went and walked around the dog park for a bit, one of my favorite pastimes. It is a beautiful day to turn 49, so we will finish up with sitting outside with neighbors and the hubby on the grill!
What have I learned this year at 48? I have learned that family is everything, right next to Faith. No matter how bad it gets, make sure you have someone by your side to fight the fight with you. That we are going to be grandparents, super thrilled about that one! And it doesn't cost a dime to be kind.Friday, November 13, 2026

Can Cats Have Autism?
I told you guys about our new addition Twilight. I am convinced he has a bit of Autism. The other two cats tend to make messes when they eat, leaving kitty kibble all around the bowls. Not Twilight, he never makes messes and when he sees the kibble, takes his paws and puts them in a nice little mound. It is so cute!!!!! <3 #
That isn't him but my computer is being weird ATM.

Who Is Excited!?!
I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look below you guys! My goal is to go there for my birthday tomorrow evening, but gotta see if I can get Bryan in with his limited apparel and gout. Stay Tuned!!!
PS. Don't think it is going to happen. He doesn't have any nice dress pants and shirts that fit him. That's ok. If it was meant to be, it would happen. 💕

$25 for this at Walmart!
$25 for this at Walmart! In the app, type in Thanksgiving feast for 10, let it add all this to your cart, then apply promo code DOUBLE10 to get $10 off lowering it down to $25. It’s a Thanksgiving meal to feed up to 10 people.
Even if you DON’T use all this for a thanksgiving meal, it’s still worth the price to just have these items! Hope this helps a family this holiday season. 🦃 🍠🥐🥔🌽🫛🥧Saturday, November 7, 2026
Butterflies 🦋
The other night I went over to a friend's house (Chrstine's), and she also had another friend stop by. We ended up in the backyard, and my friend has these plants where the caterpillars can build their cocoons after feasting and then hatch into beautiful Monarch butterflies. Out of the blue, one lands on her friend. We got to watch it try to figure out how to use its little legs and wings. It even ate a little fruit out of her hand! I mentioned that usually that means departed family or a friend came to say hello. She told me how her dad just passed away a few days ago. I'm not crying, you are!! 💗

Becoming A Woman.
Welcome back! If you are new, see the previous post. If you're not, I knew you'd be back. 😂
Ok, so I have written before that my aunt raised me from 11 (she says 10) until I graduated high school. I spent every summer with my Mother, it was "required" while I was living with my aunt. Now don't get me wrong, there were great times but there were also "Mother" times. Ok so I get my first period, unfortunately on Mother's time. I wasn't shocked or anything, her and my aunt had talked to me about it and the whole "sex" chat. My Mother made a huge deal out of, which I was down with because her attention was on me! Next thing I know, we are in her room, and she is showing me a tampon and explaining to me how it works. Now I was not sexually active AT ALL, hadn't even French kissed a boy, but she made it seem ok even though shoving anything into my vagina sounded horrific. You guys, she had me lay down, naked from the waist down, on a towel on her bedroom floor. She then covered the applicator with lotion, and told me how to push it in etc. My biggest fear was it was going to hurt, but right there with it was thinking the tampon would get lost in there. I DO get it in, or so I think. I could still feel it inside me though.
We go downstairs and I call my aunt to tell her the amazing news about me "becoming a woman". She also pours me a glass of wine. My younger brother and sister thought it was cool as hell, but I wasn't a fan of alcohol seeing as how bad things seemed to happen in our family due to it. I remember sitting at the kitchen table, my mom drinking her wine and smoking a cigarette while we talked to my aunt, and I sat there with my wine sipping as little as possible. They said something funny and I laughed. You guys, that tampon shot out of my vagina like a missile and into my panties. I was mortified. Needless to say, it was pads from them on until I was about 18 or 19.
