~In Memory Of Sammy~ 2-24-08 (9:04pm)

~I miss you...my little green fluff of feathers. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and wish you were still here with me.

~I pray that you are in a better place and have forgiven me for only doing what I felt best at the end and for not being able to give you the best life possible while you were alive until about the last 7-years...but they were a good last 7-years and I take some comfort in knowing that you (and I) were happy.

~Rest in peace my sweet boy! You will always be with me in memory and spirit!

*25-Random Things About Me!

1) I LOVE my coffee strong with a tsp each of sugar and Coffeemate!

2) I have always enjoyed being the only one awake in the house and still stay up until 3am often!

3) I love stargazing but still don't own a telescope!

4) I am a weather geek! (Thunderstorms excite me!)

5) I am double-jointed and can still do a split on good days!

6) Seeing a flock of Canadian Geese fly over honking like crazy makes me extremely happy!

7) My comfort foods are popcorn (salt, no butter), Coke floats and saltine crackers with a little butter on them! YUM!

8) My daughter is my hero and I often wish I could be more like her!

9) My husband is, and always has been my best friend!

10) I have really ugly, tiny feet and my toes are (almost) all the same size!

11) My hair is very long and I don't plan on getting it cut until my 50th birthday! (*About the same time I shall begin wearing purple as well! Hehe!)

12) I have always had a pet bird/parrot as far back as I can remember!

13) I don't "do" mornings and can never get up on time! Hence, I am usually late for anything I have planned!

14) I love making stuff with my hands and can look at just about anything in a magazine or online and copy it!

15) My dog's full name is "Abigail Zoe Sacred Hart"!

16) I collect old rosaries, Occupied Japan and anything parrot related!

17) I almost always have music playing and sing while I'm doing chores!

18) I am a pretty decent pool player!

19) I once swam from the island in the middle of the Ohio River to the bank on the Marietta side!

20) I got drunk on Peach Schnapps once when I was younger and shot macaroni out my nose when I was throwing up! (*My friends thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen! Haha!)

21) I used to be a real nutcase about keeping my house spic and span...now I don't give a crap!

22) I still love laying on my back and watching the clouds on a warm, sunny day and making "shapes" out of them!

23) My Dad had a series of strokes or something about 5-years ago and has some sort of Dementia-related mental illness that keeps him from enjoying life and his family anymore. I miss him sooo much!

24) I am terrified of needles and have no problem letting a nurse/DR know about it!

25) I love anything water related and plan to (*hopefully) live beside a lake someday...perferably right on the shore where I can sit on my porch and look out over the water all the time!
