It's ridiculous how long it has been since I blogged regularly.
And really, compared to most people's lives, it's not that I have been that busy. I realize this.
But I have indeed been preoccupied.
As some of you may know, my oldest child just graduated from high school. We were so consumed with proms, honors/awards nights and graduation, and the obvious preparations and apprehensions. Not to mention the college choice deadlines and roommate decisions. And then my youngest graduated from 8th grade and it was almost as eventful. albeit a little less stressful. Let's not forget the pressure of her 14th birthday thrown in there too. Girls, they are so much harder, so much more expensive, and everything is a big deal!!!
I also want to mention that now that I am in my 5th decade of life (it's just too difficult to say!), I have gotten an Internist, and have been undergoing a bevy of poking and prodding, blood giving and peeing in cups (forgive my crassness). I actually had my first mammagram, a bone density test, a pap smear (I don't even want to tell you how long it's been since my OB/GYN retired) and lots of labs run on my blood. People let me tell you, I am old! While my mammagram and pap smear were clear (and I am SO grateful and relieved), I have received some probably not all that unexpected news. I have Osteo Penio ( a moderate case), and Osteporosis in my hips! Due to this news, I was asked back in to give blood for a Vitamin D level test. Hello, my levels are at 17 and average is between 30 and 80! I am now on 2000 IU's of Vitamin D daily for 2 months to see if we can't get those levels up and then we will discuss my taking something like Boniva. I guess my days of not taking any meds have come to an end, and I must come to terms with the fact that I am getting old!
I'll leave you today with a few pics of my girl from graduation and a few dances and such.
OMG, and I almost forgot. We live in a modest house on the river. Every now and then we go for a quick boat ride and I always gawk at my favorite house up the river. I love this house from the river and often dream of owning it. Guess what. it's for sale! Anyone got 2.5 million I could have? I would really appreciate it!!!!
It even has it's own website. You've got to take a look. The outside is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. I can just envision entertaining at this place! The inside, not my style at all, but that would be easy eough to change with a lot of paint and some minor woodworking.

Btw, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you've actually entered into your SIXTH decade on earth, having lived through five decades already. hee hee
I am quite aware of that Ms. Danford, but there is no way I was going to have anyone think I was 60something.
