Happy St. Patricks Day,,,It's Been a Rough Night









Hope you ladies had a nice St. Paddy's Day..


B. and I are each sitting in our chairs...he in his recliner,I on the couch with laptop on my lap:)


Last night I was sitting on the couch, watching a fabulous and I mean delicious production, John Adams on HBO.


I had just finished making and cleaning up a Shepherd's Pie.(Fried some onions, thin round steak cut up into bite size pieces,cut some baby carrots in half, browned it all nicely in the meantime, cut up some potatoes and boiled them away


(on last fm If youre goin to the North Country http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/girlnorth.html See for me that her hairs hangin long for thats the way remember her best...Bob Dylan..this is the songi think that epitomizes Dylan) Go watch on You tube

throw some petite green beans mix a little flour and water and mix. Pour all into 9x12 pan ....mash potatoes and spread over top and bake a half an hour.YUM>


anyway, just settled down to watch John Adams You must watch this...the snake, don't tread on me is retelling and yet something of a foretelling for our countty...just plain good acting.



I started to get a pain in the middle of my chest, thought, hmm, maybe this is an ulcer???or indigestion and then I remembered all those articles I have read about womens symptoms for heart attacks..kept monitoring the pain and finally told B. let's go to the hospital.


We arrived there around 9:15, they took me right back , my b.p. was high, ended up keeping me overnight and this morn did a stress test and some nuclear test..echo cardiogram..one before and one after .it was not my heart

...nonethless I left home last nite at 9 and did not get home until 3:30 this afternoon.Yikes!Happy St. Patricks Day. I won't go to work tom. either, I have to take Bernie to get his shoulder operated ongot to find a good book.

Mom-Child Activity


Take a Walk with your Child



Well, here in Pittsburgh it is raining.
But, maybe where you are it's a nice day.
Go for a walk with your child.
Find a local park and point out
the birds, some ducks, the plants.
Talk about what you did as a kid.

If it is raining, then, go for a walk in the
mall. Put your child on a riding horse or car
in the middle of the mall or the train for Easter.
Go have some ice cream and see the pets in the
local pet store.

Find more activities here:
Mom Child Activity Calendar

Today: Share lots of hugs with your child.

Keep your kids healthy...hug them

What would you do if you could


Anything is possible:

I know what i would do...I would be in top physical shape...having trained for a year and summit Mt. Everest.


Then, I would be on my way to Colorado and do some skiing...taking my girls with me.

And then retire to the cabin that I have bought there and sit in front of a nice fire my hubby made and begin to write my book on Everest.
(This question was posted on another social network)
