WOW! It's been a while!

Oh my gosh, it's been way too long since I posted anything! I've been neglecting my duty to myself to write about things that are FN!

I hope you're not sexpecting anything too spectacular.

Where to begin...

Loss.

Freddie, my pops cat that had the tumor in his ear, was attacked by a siberian huskie a few days ago. The dog pulled him right out from under a car and did too much damage before I could get there. Freddie passed away in my lap shortly thereafter. It was so awful. I cried my eyes out. I knew that Freddie was going to pass soon, but I didn't want it to be that way. It wasn't fair. He and the other kitties gave so much joy to my folks lives. Both my brother and sister told me that he was with pop now, and I agree with that. It was a very emotional few days. My brother suggested that I was feeling what pop might have felt, as there was no one to mourn Freddie. I agree with him. Leyen was a trooper throughout the whole ordeal. I'm glad he was here. It seems he's been here for all the loss, right along side me. I've made sure he's ok and talked about things, but I need to do it again. I've thought only of myself and my bro's and sister and not much about him. So, I need to correct that. Enough on loss...



I can't wait for classes to start again. I'm looking forward to them! It'll will be a welcome respite from all this time to actually think. LOL, that probably didn't sound right, but so fn what. It's my blog I can say what I want. ;)



I'm purchasing a pool table! Now, I just need to make room for it. THAT will be the chore. Renting a dumpster to get rid of all the junk in the garage so I can move stuff in there for the yard sale. That should clear the room out that I want to put the table. I can't wait to get in 'stroke' again by practicing a little bit everyday. Perhaps I'll get back into the tournament scene. We'll see.

A lot of my friends have heard me speak of opening a pool hall, and that's still a dream of mine. I've decided that it will be my retirement business. So, I need to get working hard on the other thing I'm working on at the moment so I can realize my dream of being a pool hall owner.

What do you think of the name "Stick It Billiards"? (heh)

I'd like to apologize to Joni for being so out of it with regards to the new biz. She's been so good about not buggin me about it and I owe her a huge hug for it. THANKS J!



How about that new President! Anyone else think he's doing a mostly mediocre job? I realllly don't agree with his fiscal policies and I reallly don't want socialized health care. I think Obama is so blinded with power, he's going to bring himself down. It's only a matter of time. Heck, we might be going to war with North Korea soon. I think it's the grand scheme of the axis of evil. They've got Kim Jong Illll doing their dirty work for them to start things while we're hurting economically. I'd be nervous if I was living in Hawaii. Heck, I'm nervous living on the west coast. Get your fall out gear ready. Perhaps a survival kit wouldn't be a bad investment right now....



The pool was clean! Note I said 'was'. There's a field behind the house. Guess what just got disced yesterday. Yep. Dirt flyin all over the place and into the pool. Good thing I've got Leyen here to vacuum the pool for the next month! WOOP WOOP! Anyways, the pools feeling pretty good the last few hot days. It's nice.

Cheers to continuing my journey!

ok, enough catch up. Let's do Quotes!
