As my tag line says..."ADHD of blogs; never focusing on one subject for very long. I started a new blog dedicated to crafty things I make or ideas of what I would like to make or my version of what everyone else is making....on and on and on. This blog is for my creative side.
On The Fly Projects.

Happy Birthday Bryan
This is the poem I wrote for Bryan for his 30th Birthday.
Your 30 today which could cause you to whine
But look at your mother she's 50 and quite fine
I know this day is not about me
But if I never had dirty sex you wouldn't be
You shush me all the time and think you are right
But I know that your bark is worse than your bite
You're a pain in my ass and sometimes I want to make you black and blue
But you are the best sone ever that much is sure true
I love you to pieces and am so proud of you
You're a great Dad and husband and so much fun too
I would like to take credit for all that you are
And I do take a little for getting you this far
But now that you're 30 you are all on your own
I wish you the best but just so you know I disconnected my phone

Task #1 Almost Complete
Almost 2 weeks since I've been here! I have been busy fulfilling my New Year's tasks. The first two rooms are well underway. I've painted my library and I just need to clean up and get ready for new carpet on Friday. Then, I have to move everything back in out of the dining room and then paint it and I will be done with my January task. I do, however; have over 100 books that I need to get rid of. I'm Not sure where they will be going. Back to work.....

New Year's Task
New Years Eve....my big plans consist of a few glasses of wine, some leftovers and a little crochet while watching a movie. That is how I hope 2011 will be; nice and relaxed, and easy. I have no resolutions per se. Just like most people they are usually never fulfilled.
I have proposed a New Year Task. My task is to de-clutter my house and my life. Each month will be designated to a different room in the house. I will have the entire month to declutter-/organize/redecorate. I figure if I spread it out over the year, the task won't seem so daunting. If I get an area done before the end of the month, I might move on to the next or take a break.
My first room(s) will be the dining room and formal living room/library. This may be my most complicated area. I need to paint and buff out the wood floor. It's the only room I haven't repainted since Joe and I got married. Not to mention moving (4) 7' bookcases full of books. I'm already exhausted and I haven't even started. I just have to keep repeating: one day at a time.
Only a few more hours until the task begins. I'll let you know how I do next New Year's Eve.

Please Make It Stop
There is a show called "Teen Mom". Apparently showcasing teen Mom's and their trial and tribulations. If the series successfully showed how hard it is to be a Mother let alone a teenage Mother there may be some redeeming value to it. As it is, all it does is launch these girls to celebrity status, sending the message; if you get pregnant as a teen you too can be on TV. I have to admit I have never seen the show and never will. I have however seen excerpts from it. In addition, one of the more infamous Moms is from Indiana. What a great claim to fame for our state. I heard on the news tonight the Mom from Indiana is paid $280,000.00 a year to be on this show. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!!!! What is wrong with people. There are hard working people trudging to dead end jobs everyday so they can pay their bills, yet a socially unfit immature dumb ass teenager makes hundreds of thousands of dollars for being a socially unfit immature dumb ass teenager. All I can do is shake my head and cry.

Some Times It Works Out
I am very excited my home phone broke. It is still usable but the caller ID button/phone book and scroll button doesn't work on one of the handsets. The best part???? I purchased the extended warranty and the phone is still covered. I bought the phone at Radio Shack. I spent $80.00 on the phone and $20.00 on the extended warranty. The warranty also included new batteries every six months for the two years. The batteries alone cost more than $20.00. I am one month away from the warranty expiring. I called Radio Shack, they took my info and told me to send the phone back. Once I take the phone to Fed Ex and they scan it in, Radio Shack is notified I dropped it off and I get a refund gift card via email within 24 hours for the price of the phone plus tax. SCORE!!!!! This is one time I am glad I purchased the extended warranty.
It's A Belated Christmas Miracle
OM frickin G! (I heard that on Cake Boss and I thought it was hilarious) Anyway, I have been struggling with Medicaid and Medicare ever since my Mother and Mother-In-Law have been in a Nursing Home. If you have ever tried to get information or get anything resolved with either agency, you know what I mean. It's a nightmare. After my most recent circle jerk with Medicaid I was so frustrated, I filed a complaint with the Attorney General under Insurance Fraud. I knew that wasn't really the right place to complain to, but I didn't know where else to start. I figured at the very least it would get their attention. I didn't hear anything for over a month; then I received a letter. It stated their agency was not the correct agency to handle my claim but it had been forwarded to the agency that would be able to take care of it.
When my husband saw the letter with the return address of Attorney General he thought for sure we were both going to jail (for what, I don't know).
About a week after I received the letter I received a phone call and an email from someone in the office overseeing Medicaid Administration. I was shocked!!!!! I have never had a more pleasant and productive conversation with someone in a government office in my life. She was not only going to take care of my Mother-In-Laws issues (for which the complaint was filed) but my Mother's as well. She has also reassured me she would be keeping in contact with me on a weekly basis until the issues are resolved. Maybe I'm being gullible, but I believed her. A little bit of faith has been restored in my otherwise negative opinion of the government. While it's far from perfect it is nice to know there are avenues of resolution that do work.
Hopefully I am not getting too excited too soon. I will hold off on the fireworks until everything is resolved, but at least there is a spark waiting to ignite!!!!
