Putting a Finger on It

It's been a week since the deer accident. All is well... at least it should be soon.

Adam's jeep will require over four thousand dollars worth of repairs. Yes, we have good insurance. In the meantime he's driving a nice new one of these:

It's nice and all but I think he misses his jeep. It should be done in another week or so... at least that's what "they" say.

Offspring #3 got a job. She starts day after tomorrow. Good thing, too, since she has things like rent and utilities to pay now.

Fall is here. I love it. The leaves are beautiful. The air is cool and crisp. Soups and other comfort foods taste wonderful.

If only winter didn't have to follow!!!

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate winter? I do, you know. It's cold and the snow slows me way down. It can be frustrating.

At least there's always another spring.

My weight is still good. I've gained a few pounds since I went back to work two months ago but it's all about off again. It's nice to be able to eat real food again but I do have to watch.

Let's see... what else is new?

No spanking.

No sex.

I can't quite put my finger on it but I just don't care. I've even thought about shutting this blog down...

... or abandoning it....

But there's a lot of me here so that won't happen.

It's just....

well I've given up on ever taking it back to the aspect of spanking. It's just not in me right now. I kept thinking it would return ... that feeling ... you know the one.

It hasn't.

Sigh.

And I've quit expecting it to. The nest is empty though so who knows. Maybe one of these days. Truth of the matter is though Adam and I are somewhat disconnected these days. He's busy with work and when he is home that's mostly what we talk about... his work... or mine.

It's amazing how you can be married as long as we have... know someone as well as we know each other but not be able to put your finger on what's missing.

I guess it's hard to figure out what's missing when it doesn't feel all that wrong.

So how about the election?

Okay.. okay we won't go there but you have to admit that some of it is quite entertaining...

Sarah Palin...

Tina Fey...

Joe the plumber....

I don't know about you other U.S. of A. citizens but I'll be glad when the election is over. It's getting old....

I saw a sign someone taped to his mini van. It said, "Mama, mama... save me from Obama."

Geeze.

He's not THAT scary.

I kind of like the guy. I like Palin too. Guess we can't have them both, huh?

Remember last year when I was whining about the foo-foo affair that Adam made me go to?

It's that time again.

I got a dress.

It's red.

And glittery.

Ummmmm... you gotta understand.. I don't DO dresses. This is out of my comfort zone as much this year as it was last year. Although I will say that last year turned out to be a not so bad time so I am not dreading it this year quite as badly as I did last year.

OH!!!! And my granddaughter will be here before we know it.

I got to hold a tiny tiny tiny new baby today. It felt good. I can't wait till we have our own.

And yup.. they have named her already. I know that could change however they had her name embroidered onto a blanket so I guess they are pretty sure about this.

How's the gas prices in your neck of the woods? I saw it all over town today for $2.58. I'll take it!!! The lower it goes, the better... at least for my wallet. I know, I know.. it's not necessarily good news for the economy.

Sigh.

So that's the highlights of my life these days... nothing too exciting... just normal life.

Hope your world is peaceful!!!
