MBT Shoes
Posted by Vicki on Nov 7, 2008
The MBT shoes were a total loss, which was annoying, but not world ending. Most of the wardrobe that was kept at this house was a loss…The people that had trashed the house had obviously enjoyed their job of destruction and mayhem. However, they would be irked to know that very little real damage had been done. After all, she was smart enough not to keep the important things at this house. Now if she only knew what the guys kept looking for. Than she could put an end to all of this nonsense, and maybe have a little R and R time.
She couldn’t remember the last time that she had willingly taken R and R, well, okay, she could, but she wouldn’t think about that time. It was too hard.
Home Insurance

The home insurance would go sky-high, of this she was certain, but what could you expect when this was the third time that the house had been ravaged. Of course, she knew the reasons behind it, but that didn’t change the facts, nor did it change the insurance company’s frown on this continuing to happen.
She sat down amid the mess on her couch, or what was left of her couch. Someone had taken a knive to the leather, and foam and stuffing were scattered everywhere. At least she had learned not to keep anything of value where other people could get to it.

Hmmm…this was an interesting book. Kept me turning pages to find out whether she would or would not go….But not something I would read very often.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Nicole Michelin avoids airplanes, motorcycles, and most of all, Japan, where her parents once were missionaries. Something happened in Japan…something that sent Nicole and her father back to America alone…something of which Nicole knows only bits and pieces. But she is content with life in little Mount Olive, North Carolina, with her quirky relatives, tank of lively fish, and plenty of homemade pineapple chutney. Through her online column for the Pretty Fishy Web site, she meets Harrison Michaels, who, much to her dismay, lives in Japan. She attempts to avoid him, but his emails tug at her heart. Then Harrison reveals that he knew her as a child in Japan. In fact, he knows more about her childhood than she does.

In Memory of George
Posted by Vicki on Nov 4, 2008
*******************Written October 31**************************************
On this day, when most are blindly dressing up in costumes and going out to seek candy, we are sitting here with tears in our eyes, and a heaviness upon our hearts!!
Our Beloved George died this morning, of unknown cause. He was a darling cat, as I’m sure you can see by the picture. Megan’s darling, as he slept with her EVERY night, without fail, no matter where she slept, he would find her. It is sweet memories we have of him. Chasing his tail and romping through the house, but most of all was the endearing bond he had with Megan.
As some of you know, he was taken to the VET earlier this week to have surgery done on one of his eyes. He came home Wednesday, and other than being just a bit tired from the surgery, he acted completely fine. Even last night, he seemed to be fine. This morning I woke up and noticed that he was not with Meg, and so I went searching for him. I found him laying in our laundry room. I couldn’t even tell if he was breathing, but upon looking closer, found he was breathing. We rushed him to the VET, where he died acouple of hours later.
We do not know what happened, we only know that we miss him dearly, and his passing has left a hole in our hearts and an emptiness in our house. It is small comfort to know that he is with God. He is not in pain anymore, for that we are thankful, though we ourselves are in pain because of his heavenly assent.
It is times like these that I wonder if God’s clock is working right..Yes, I do mean that as a joke. Here in this world I can not see why God chose to take George, as I think we’ve had enough to deal with lately…but there is the popular saying “God’s timing is not alway ours”. I hold my daughter and dry her tears as my own fall, and I tell her that God had a reason, even though it hurts us, and even though we don’t know the reason, God did have a reason. George is in a better place now.
Goodbye my dear George, we will miss you always!
Scandalous-SS
Posted by Vicki on Nov 3, 2008
I really don’t have much to say about scandal. I try to avoid all the scandalous things that I can. I take no part in politics, because I have the belief that they are all liars anyway. They may sound good in public, but I’m sure they aren’t always telling the truth, and I seriously doubt that they will keep all the promises they make.
I try to avoid gossip as well, as it quite often lies, and I believe that peoples lives are their own business, and shouldn’t be spread all around town, or all around the internet.
I’m no saint, but surely wouldn’t want my mistakes being talked about by others.
