Mon, Jul 01:33:24 7 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/way_.html Well my packing is done, the truck is mostly loaded and Sharon’s contractions are strong and steady! We will leave here in the morning for Omaha, and God willing I will be able to see my niece and nephew born. Just thinking about it makes me cry. I wish you all a wonderful and safe 4th of July and maybe we’ll be having another kind of celebration this weekend!

What is your favorite food? Anything Chinese 2- Do you ever watch "Cash Cab"? I saw it once… does that count? 3- What do you think of Drew Carey as the new host of "The Price is Right?" He's just not Bob! 4- When it is really warm, do you ever wal ... Tue, 1 Jul 2008 18:10:54 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/long_wait_over.html It looks like today is the day!!! Tony (Fugzy) and Sharon (Wildflower) are in Labor! She is only dilated to a 2, so we might have a loooong day ahead of us, but the babies are on the way!! I will update as soon as I hear more!! Gem~ Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:16:21 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/green_truth_things.html For the past 20 years, former Vice President Al Gore has been traveling the world speaking about global warming, a passion of his since college. In 2006, his lecture was made into the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. This is the third highest grossing documentary of all time. Gore will donate 100 percent of his profits from his movie and book to a non-partisan effort to continue education on global warming. In his lectures, book and documentary, Gore explains that if we continue to ignor ... Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:37:55 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/just_hot.html I was hoping to sit here tonight and spend some time writing, but the truth is I think the Sun just made me too tired to really want to do anything! I don't even feel like eating dinner... So, I'll save my writing idea's for later, catch up on some blog reading, and watch "The View" (which I Tivo daily) - If I remember right David Cook AND David Archaletta should both be on today... Awesome! Until later - Gem~ Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:28:18 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/lieu_gratitude_book.html And the Summer keeps rolling on… I took a drive a few days ago and struggled with my emotions as I looked upon some of the farmer’s fields. What was once hundreds of acres of planted corn, or soybeans are now miles of lakes. And while the scenery is beautiful with the sun reflecting off the water, many of these farmers are now misplaced, have little to no farmland left, or suffer the fact that even if the land were to dry up soon, it is way too late to re-plant. (Not to mention the exp ... Sat, 21 Jun 2008 02:20:00 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/amazing_time_year_.html Although there isn't much time for Blogging, I LOVE this time of year!! My Garden's are planted and growing beautifully... My son has Graduated High School...( 2 down, 2 to go) My niece is here from Omaha spending part of the Summer with us... My Puppy "Rocky" is adjusting well to the farm & is already spoiled rotten! And my brother and his wife are expecting the twins to be born any day!! I miss writing, and I miss reading all of you - I will try and take some time this weekend to catch u ... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:40:34 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/finding_time_.html Time has once again been hard to find when it comes to Blogging. This time of year becomes busier, and as Spring turns into Summer thoughts of Blogging become a distant memory… :( This morning I had some time, so what better to talk about than…… IDOL! But before I get to Idol I would like to take a moment and talk a little about a show that is not often talked about here. Just this season I started watching a show called “The Biggest Loser.” In the first few weeks I found the sho ... Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:00:51 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/blessed.html I get kissed by the sun each morning Put my feet on the hardwood floor I get to hear my children laughing Down the hall through my bedroom door Sometimes I sit on my front porch swing Just soaking up the day I think to myself I think to myself This world is a beautiful place I have been blessed And i feel like I've found my way I thank God for all I've been given At the end of every day I have been blessed With so much more than i deserve To be here with the ones that love me To love them ... Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:04:46 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/just_pleasing_people_.html Two doctors, a psychiatrist and a proctologist, opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors." The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to read: "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council, they changed the sign to: "Catatonics and High Colonics." No go. Next, they tried "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Thumbs down again. Then came ... Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:48:33 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/words_love_.html If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn't oversleep Of all the things I wear, my expression is the most important. The best vitamin for making friends.... B1. The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts. The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge. One thing I can give and still keep...is my word. I lie the loudest when I lie to myself. If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished. One thing I can't recycle is wasted time. Ideas won't work unless ' I ' do. My ... Wed, 9 Apr 2008 22:53:33 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/great_monday_laugh.html I could watch this over... and over... and over! Gem~ Mon, 7 Apr 2008 22:45:12 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/spiders.html There is not much in this world that “Truly” scares me… I can handle mice, rats, bees (even though I am deadly allergic to them) and even snakes. I was impressed at the zoo last year when we were allowed to hold one and I didn’t even flinch…(Okay, maybe a tiny flinch) I find them slithering all over the farm in the summer – They go their way and I go mine… No biggie – But as I have written about before (many times), Spiders scare me silly!! MJ (5) has followed in mommy’s ... Sun, 6 Apr 2008 23:21:09 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/eyes_.html Well I guess it was bound to happen… And putting it off didn’t make it go away – (Well it works for some things...) For over a year I have suffered daily headaches and found that reading was even getting tough. I starting holding paper’s/books further and further from my eyes and wondered why reading was starting to make me dizzy… A few months ago I bought a pair of reading glasses from the pharmacy, and while they did indeed help, the headaches remained. So finally… I made an ... Fri, 4 Apr 2008 20:32:09 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/anything.html A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after-work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As men will.) Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, ...

Living in Rural SD has it’s Pro’s and Con’s – We own a beautiful farm and for the past 7 years we have been re-landscaping. (Our land) Each year we plant trees and seed areas that still have no grass. It has been a major undertaking but one that has brought us joy and a sense of peace. Enjoying a cup of coffee while we watch the sunrise is a wonderful way to start the day… and sometimes we end it the same way – One of t ... Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:30:47 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/yawn.html I am having one of those mornings where no matter how much coffee I have, I can’t seem to get myself into gear. Climbing back into bed and cuddling under my comforter would be heaven! Idol last night was great! And I had to admit horse girl (Kristy) did a decent job with her song! Yes, she still needs to go, but at least she would be going out with a good performance under her belt. Carly (My favorite) seemed nervous her entire performance and sadly I think it made a difference… Being ... Wed, 26 Mar 2008 14:25:58 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/bit_.html I have a barn cat who lately has been bringing me presents each morning. 1 large field mouse freshly killed and brought lovingly to my front door. Well it’s better than bringing me snakes I suppose… That was summer before last – Yuck! Now I am listening to CNN and they are talking about a woman who had a RAT come up her toilet!! (ummm while she was sitting on it!!) – Guess we can all figure out where it bit her! Also, a woman in Florida killed this morning by a 70 lb Eagle Ray that ...

Gem~ Wed, 19 Mar 2008 17:13:35 GMT http://greasy.com/greeneyedgemini/idol_morning.html I wasn’t able to watch Idol last night, so this morning forgoing CNN I was able to catch up… (Now I’ll have to go to James and Laura’s Blog to catch up on my morning news…) I have to say IDOL was just “so so” for me… Again watching Kristy Lee Cook I couldn’t see why she was still there… I just don’t think she fits in with the rest of this amazing group! And on a note of something that is truly bothering me… What’s up with Simon and his winking??? In the 1st minute ... Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:11:41 GMT
