The Snow is gone and Who Dat?

How about our Saints! Wow who would have thought they would come this far. Guess we can throw the brown paper sacks away and do away with the "Aints"! If they win tomorrow, they will be 12 and 0----Super Bowl is looking good and will bring lots of money to the city and state. Hotels are booked already and for those who can't afford the tickets, there will be many tailgaters out there and parties in every house and sports bars. I like college football, more because of the outrageous salaries that the pros make. Did I fall asleep when the sport became a business! I have some orders for candy bouquets if they make it to the Super Bowl, so guess I have to hope that they get there.
Well we didn't think that it would last, but it was cool just the same. There is still some on roof tops, but melting and making a mess.
I am not sure if this is my 400th post or not, but if it is, I will still keep my word for a giveaway, but things are happening fast right now and my computer will be going home tomorrow. Not sure how long it will take me to get on my laptop---it's old and slow. So if you don't see me post, you know why.
Donnie, my son, lifted my spirits so much and he will be spending an entire week with me. He usually divides his time between family and friends, but I get him for an Entire week, so baking cookies will be done.  Not sure how much decorating I will get done, but it will be simple this year.
A dear sweet blogger has helped me through some things and I can't thank her enough. She knows who she is and is very humble, so no need to mention any names.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Well who would have thought that we would get snow---real snow. We live about 1 1/2 hours from the Gulf and this sure was a , but it was so beautiful coming down in huge flakes. It is supposed to snow all night, so we will see what things look like in the morning.

Snow in Louisiana

Has anyone seen Pat? She seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth. I don't know where she went, but I need her back soon. This is her time of the year and it isn't looking like Christmas as usual for her. Now you know it's me and I am here, but I am not the person I once was. I am praying that she returns to my body soon-lol. I have become MY SISTER!

Can you believe that we will be getting snow this afternoon around 6pm. This will be the 2nd year in a row that it has snowed. I hope we get the 3 inches they predict for our area---should be fun throwing snowballs at myself-lol.
I have been busy trying to organize and pack things in case the sheriff shows up with an eviction notice. What a Christmas this will be! I am usually baking cookies right now and making things for Christmas, but I feel like The Grinch, but I would not steal anyone's Christmas from them and only wish the best for them.
I have no heat here, because of the gas leak in the central heating system, but I do have a little space heater for my bedroom, where I spend 90% of my time. Yesterday I cook the most wonderful shrimp, okra, and sausage gumbo, so that warmed up the kitchen a bit.
I will let you all know when I will be back in Crowley. I know for sure that I will be there when Donnie gets here. I have to be happy or at least pretend to be happy around him. They don't read my blog, so I know he won't find out.
My sincere wish for all of you is to have a very Blessed Christmas. I do have so much to be thankful for.
My Blessings
A God who loves me for who I am
wonderful children and grandchildren
Many thoughtful and caring bloggers
A roof over my head, such that it is
Food for my tummy
Caring Doctors
I will continue to visit my favorite blogs, but not sure if I can post very much. Many Blessings to all of you and remember I do love you all, even though I have only met 3 people from the internet. Well it's nap time for me---no energy, so I should find something out next Thursday from my doctor. Love, Hugs, and Many Prayers, Pat

Sorry about all the negativity on my blog

I realized how many people have stopped coming by and I believe it is due to all the negativity that I post, so only have one more to get out, then I am going to start a new blog after Christmas.
Brenda emailed Al and said to tell me to be out by the end of this month, so not sure what I will do. I have been down since the 28th and just don't know what to do. The only choice I have is to move back in with Al and that's not the place I want to be 7 days a week.
Her husband used to come to my apartment when I lived there and want to talk about things that were bothering him about her, so I would listen, then she would do the same thing. But now I wanted to talk to him, but he said he didn't want to get involved. Guess I should have told them the same thing. My heart is so broken by the one person I would have done anything for, short of breaking the 10 commandments and now she is treating me like the scum of the earth.

I know this will sound like I am bragging, but I am being humble by saying that I am a very giving, soft hearted person and if money were available, I would be helping more people. Al used to say that I was the one best friend every person would like to have. I met 2 ladies from our crafting group and if we lived closer, our friendship would be eternal.
I started making my Christmas cards and got 5 ready to put together, then picked up everything to pack up. I love crafting and it has been my outlet and therapy since 1982 when my doctor told me I needed a hobby to get my mind off of my pain and heartache and it worked.
I know that God is watching over me and will take care of my needs.

The only thing I wanted to know is Why Brenda turned her back on me. When my brother assaulted me, she told me to call the police, then 2 weeks later, she wouldn't talk to me. Maybe this is God's way of telling me I don't belong with them. I know through my faith that He has a reason for everything, so I need to put my Big Girl Panties on and pull myself up out of this darkness. Please pray for me, because I can't do it alone. I have never in my life felt so alone in all my life.
I'm sorry for laying all this on you, but somehow, it helps for a little while.
I hope I haven't run you all off and if I did, I am truly sorry and miss everyone that visits. Love, hugs, and Prayers for all those who are ill right now. Pat

Good Morning

This beautiful butterfly was on the patio and it looked like something was wrong with it, because it wouldn't fly away when I got near it. I picked it up and noticed on little leg stuck in his wing, so I gently pulled it loose and off he flew.

It is a little chilly this morning, but still a beautiful day. I am finishing my coffee, then pulling out my Cuddlebug and start my Christmas cards. Next week, I am hoping to go to Crowley and get some decorations out, but nothing like in years gone by. I already warned Donnie that my bathroom there is filled with boxes since Al has not put in the attic stairs yet, but the rest will be cleaned and ready to bake cookies. Normally, I would be finished decorating by now, but I am not hauling all my things here, in case I get served with eviction papers-lol.

Have any of you gotten the H1N1 shot yet? My arm is still sore and bruised, not to mention all the cuts on my arm from picking satsumas. Wish I could send you all some. They are so sweet and totally organic. I did bring a large bag to a Missionary Camp and they really enjoyed them.

I was going to visit blogs this morning, but can do that tonight. I want to send more things back to Crowley in case the house is sold soon or auctioned off. Someone told me that if he auctions it off, nothing can leave the house, even though it's mine, so not taking any chances.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and are not too stuffed from all the Thanksgiving food. Love, Hugs, and Prayers, Pat

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

What a beautiful site. This is where Donnie wants to move to. It's in Upstate NY and if I remember it's called Trivil or something like that. Wish he would find a house with a mom apt.-lol. I love it when I went in October, because we don't see Autumn like some do. Everything mostly stays green or the leaves just fall off the trees. I can't wait till Christmas when he will be with us. Now if we could just get Chris and David here, it would be a perfect Christmas.

Well, I had my angiogram and was very mad at the doctor. The instructions that I signed said I would be put in a conscious sleep, but when I got into the operating room, he said he didn't do that. Needless to say, I don't like being lied to and was not a happy camper. He found blockage in 4 arteries and 1 was over 70 and one was 65. He said he couldn't put a stint in the 70 one because of where it was. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing. I was wide awake, remember everything, and felt every thing. He then added a medicine that I was already taking, instead of just telling me to double the dose, to save me money. I had just had it filled, so I had 90 days worth of medicine and I was not going to get another one. When the nurse called to see how I was doing, I told her I would not be coming back to him and why. So I guess I had what they call a rage moment, but I was very calm when I told her in no uncertain terms, I would not come back to him, that I didn't like being lied to. She made all these excuses for him, but didn't succeed in changing my mind. I will go back to my former cardiologist. I am on a Beta Blocker and he wanted to put me on another one. Why do doctors think they have to fix something that isn't broken? I have now come to believe what everyone is saying---they make money from the drug companies.

Any how, I feel awful, very sore and I did get my H1N1 injection and it is so sore and a huge bruise and a hematoma at the injection site.

I think I need to do some research about this stint thing. They told my dad the same thing and it wasn't good news, so I am now scared.

I wish you all a very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. I will be alone and just resting.

I have so much to be thankful for. Friends who care, A God who loves me for who I am. A roof over my head (at least for now), my Faith and even my health, such as it is. It could be worse, so for that I am thankful.

 Love, Hugs, and Many Blessings, Pat
