| It has been absolutely ages since I tippie typed here. Goodness.
How are you xanga peeps?
What have you been doing? Anything fun?
I have truly missed xangaland but honestly, I have been nutty busy....
My noo car is driving wonderfully, I have finally figured out the satellite radio and there are some supercool stations on satellite radio... well, I can only listen in my car, which is quite nice really. The drive to the rink is 30 minutes minimum and I used to listen to one local talk station on AM but they dumped my favorite guy and put on those boring loons, Mika Brzezinski and Milque Toast Scarboro, so I have been listening to snazzy jazz and other cool fun stations.
Blizzie is coming home on Thursday. Hubby is retrieving her from the kollig and I am happy about that. Fun trip to Williamsburg and all that but I would rather skate, and he can drive my noo car and stuff it full of Blizzie's kollig krap.
My skating is getting lousy and sloppy (I think) and I am considering..... Alexie
I am learning how to make quilt squares. I am going to make a squillion of them, then I do not know what I will do.
Princess had some problems last week. I, at one point, thought she has a reaction to a nutritional supplement the vetlady gave me, but now I think she just scraped her throat on a hard crunchie. She does not chew anymore because her teeth are really weak. She is 18 now and every day is a blessing. so, last week, I nursed her back and she is doing quite well now. She is happy again and prancing around the house showing Pierro she is not dead yet and continues to be the boss around here.
Pierro keeps me busy and happy.
So, last week when I was soooo incredibly exhausted from doing a billion things around here and also tend to Princess constantly, one particular evening I was preparing to give Prin some subq's and give her a special dish of foods (purina NF) and looking forward to collapsing in bed and snuggling with Pierro... when hubby discovered a lot of poop on the carpets in Pierro's room. Pierro had a problem with poop stuck to his tail after he used his litter box and he frantically whipped his tail around and got poop everywhere all over his night time prison room (Blizzie's old room). Wow, poop everywhere... so I had already showered, was all squeaky clean in my comfy pajamas, and now I had to scrub carpets and then, THEN capture the poopy boy and wash his tail and butt.
Then I gave Prin her flooids and her snack and crawled into bed without PierroMrMcStinkiesons. Too tired for kitten snuggling sorry.
What did you do for the Mother's Day celebratory day of recognition? You know EVERY day is Mother's day but ....
Hubby and I and Christabeeniebelle went to my sisters' home in Silver Spring.
It was a really nice day, breezy and not too horribly hot. We have had a lot of rain so this was a great day.
Today was also nice. Oh, so yeah, we went to my sister's and Andrei was there.. doing stuff, being 11 years old. we went for a long walk in the park closeby and ate this unbeliveably rich cake my sister made. It was good, I had two pieces and felt like I wanted to explode from fullness.
I must end here. The lazagna is done and it is time to scarf food.
Maybe we will go for a walk this evening

| Gosh I miss xanga. I really do.
sitting at the computer makes me very stiff in the neck and shoulders so I have to limit my computer time.
I MISS ALL OF YOU!
It is hot here. It was 92 this afternoon.
I got a new car, an Acura rdx. I love it. We did not buy the Mazda because the manager was an idiot, nuff said, this had nothing to do with the price and everything to do with the contract and actually I am relieved. I have a car I really love.
It is actually shorter and narrower than my Mazda 6! I love it. I have three months of satellite radio and ... that is interesting. not in love with it, but I did find some very fun stations. It also has bluetooth but I have not figured that out yet....
I have been skating 3x per week. It is good.
Gosh it is hot, did I say that already? dang. HOT.
Princess is 18 and she is doing wonderful.
I am taking her to the vet soon for a check up.
Pierro finally did it, he jumped off of the top railing into the family room,
I was right there... freaked me out.
He landed on the cushy arm of the chair below missing the glass table by inches....
he could have been krippled for life!!!
tiny kitty krutches and everythings
he is sooo cute and he adores Prinnie
I went to visit my parents last week and took them for a drive in my new car.
So, not much is going on here... same old stuff.
Hubby and I went out to brunch with some old friends and they yakked our ears off.
It was very interesting. We also discussed some of the drama going on in our neighborhood... and real estate.
I went to a anti-tax day tea party on the 15th. It was pouring rain here and we went to one in Reston.
It was a big crowd and loads of fun. I have a cool sign I made and I think hubby and I are going to the on in DC on the 4th of July!
Wanna come? You can stay at my place. Bring your own sign!
Tomorrow I am going to the rink. It is going to be another very hot day.
I will try to update later this week... I need more coffee right now
Please, tell me how you are doing. I hope all of you are doing well.
I really miss all of you and I will try to visit... sometime.
It has always been the strategy
of power-hungry leaders
to use crisis to enlarge the size of government.
The people are more receptive to it
and are thinking emotionally rather than rationally.

| Happy Easter to all of you.
Today is a joyous day.
We spent yesterday with my parents and my sister and Andrei. It was great fun I have photos I will put up later I promise... they are just still on the camera.
Well, this is a quick entry just to tell you that my wonderful car that saved my life has been totaled.
Last Thursday they gave us the news after the car shop had inspected the entire car for the repair final estimate. so, we are getting a check in the mail.
We have been car shopping. I am probably going to get a Mazda CX7.
We have an offer on a car at the local dealer, they are transferring a car from another dealer in Alexandria Va.
We already made an offer.
So, we'll see. This car is the completely loaded sport touring oh gosh. There were no cars the fit exactly what we were looking for... amazing how this whole economy thing has had its effect on everything. Less cars to choose from. I drove the Mazda3, it is really cute but now am now crash-phobic. The Mazda6 was pretty but same thing... I am freaked. That was such a bad crash and I am just lucky to be walking.
this whole thing has been quite a headache really. I miss my old car and now I have to learn to drive a whole new car with some crazy non-key thing and all sorts of other stuff. The ownership booklet must be 1000 pages long.
Okay I have to run.
The dealer just called and said the car has arrived .... so now we have to read a lot of papers.
Be well, I hope you are having a delightful happy day, whether is is sunny or rainy. Just load up on chocolate.
You are loved.
Pictures soon promise.
Well pleaseth me
the sweet time of Easter
That maketh the leaf
and the flower come out.

| Well, I am very sorry I have not been around xanga land much. I have been on Facebook land and other than that... I cannot account for much else. skating goofing off hanging around with my parents. My dad is doing quite well. His leg is healing quickly. he can walk and everything!
What's new?
I am pretty disgusted that I hardly have time to read the latest on all of your lives the past few months.
I have been tremendously busy. I try to keep very busy. It keeps me out of trouble. I have been doing some sewing, and baking, and lots of walking. I will not skate this week b/c of the Easter holiday, so my plan is to slave in the yard every day.
I wrecked my car last Tuesday. some guy pulled waaaay out in front of me at an intersection and I had no choice than to hit him.
I was going about 50. I have never crashed a car before so it was surreal for sure.
I was not injured because my car is very safe. I could have hit the cadillac right in the passenger side, but I did some quick thinking and decided to turn a bit to the right and get the front of his car and his wheel. Anyway, he got a big ticket. I got lots of attention from the po-leese.
Good times. They asked me if I wanted an ambulance to come and check me over but I was okay. I called hubby and he came and got me and we went out and got our hair cut. I was still in shock, so hey, why not get a haircut?
next morning I was a little bit stiff, but really nothing bad. I had a burn on my left forearm from the airbag when I was turning. It is all better.
Jeeeeez I am lucky.
The car is in the shop, and so far the guys insurance has to pay $7000+ for the repair.
I will probably trade it in after the repair and get a new car. Not sure when, but we got this nasty loaner car, Nissan Altima ("household appliance white") it is really huge and ugly. The interior is black, yuck. so, hubby is driving it. I just moved all of my stuff back in my "old" car that I was driving long time ago (the Saab)
 
I have loads of marvy photos I should put up here but I will just give you these for now.
I miss all of you.
Please tell me how you are doing.
mountains of yard work awaits.
Love always, Rosemary
