We're not promised tomorrow

Life can throw such curve balls. When I answered the phone tonight, I had no idea that it would be to hear that my grandpa Homer died. Granted he wasn't blood, but he treated me like it. He was one of those annoying papas that you are embarrassed when he comes around because he is so loud and yet you love him at the same time. Ironically, the last time that I saw him was at a funeral a week ago Friday. He wanted me to go to lunch with him and I was in such a hurry that I told him next time we'll go and it's my treat.Now, there is no next time. I should have gone to lunch. He always made me laugh and I really did have a good time. He teased me because I've never had a ring on my hand and "a pretty girl like you should be married and all with babies". He would have been 80 on the 16th. We were planning a party. How did this happen??? where did the time go??? why didn't I do lunch??? Tonight it hit me when I arrived at the hospital and my grandma Loitta sat next to me and said, "He sure loved you" then I saw Brad come out and he had the bag of clothes that my pops was wearing. I can't take the time back, I know..I just haven't been able to talk to anyone with family/church family all around. Took the initiative and got dinner for them and suddenly took on a "Mommy role" that it wasn't until I got home that I realized how I felt...I just had to vent. Guess I need to blog ;)

thanks for lending your eyes readers and know this..

we're not promised tomorrow...today may be too long...say what you want now, in this moment at this time...go to lunch...enjoy the teasing...laugh at yourself...laugh at life...it can only get better...

May showers...

Not only does the month of May bring rain showers, but it has also bring baby showers, bridal showers and Bachelorette parties. Although by the latter, I mean the ABC train wreck that I can't seem to tear myself away from. It's the new season of the Bachelorette and I am oober excited. Mainly because it's a "girls night" and we jabber away as we choose the one we think is best for the Bachelorette. This season, it's Ali, who was on ABC's other train wreck, The Bachelor and Ms Ali chose her career over the handsome Jake, which I must say was wise. I'll save my Jake bashing for another blog!

So as the premier approaches, if you so happen to miss the Bachelorette, no worries readers, I will do my best to keep you updated on the wise, or not so wise, choices that our little miss chooses to make!!

Happy May!!!
