The Begining

       Well I am back from doing the laundry. Got clothes put away.
    Started the turnip greens for dinner tonight. Yeah I am making meatloaf ( a favorite of mine) and turnip greens and mashed potatoes.
    Then went to do some weed eating and realized I was out of string in the weed eater. Called the room mate and asked him to bring some home; that translate into sometime next week
. Then room mate called me back and asked if I could take a  a renter of my landlords a goody box. Meaning some one needed some food and would I please help them out. I got three bags of food together and took it to them. They were appreciative and we talked for about 1/2 hour.
    I got home and let the boys out. My boys are Groucho and Marley. They are my dogs. Marley is about 2 yrs. old and Groucho is just old. I got both dogs through someone else no longer wanting them and me making them mine . With Marley he knew me before I got him. In fact i was the only person he would come to and I didn't want to see him go to the pound. My room mate brought Grouch home one day and said he was left at a house that had been evicted by my landlord and asked if I could nurse him back to health. Marley is considered a little dog and Grouch is bitty size. He probably weighs 3 lbs. Marley is around 10 lbs. They are both chihuahua. Marley is a mix and Groucho is a miniature. I talk to the boys like they are people. Problem is they don't talk back. Ha Ha.
   When I get around real people I tend to talk a lot. You can't shut me up with a roll of duct tape and a tube of super glue. I talk to certain cashiers at Wal-mart or the Murphy gas station. I call an older gentleman I check on about once a week. Then I talk to my ex-sister-in-law and ex-husband about twice a week. I talk to a friend at church on Sundays and when I go to the monthly county food bank I talk to some of the regulars I see down there. The Grandma across the street that watches her grandchildren during the day and my neighbor in front of me are also people I talk to. Oh! And of course I call my mother at least once a day.
  Otherwise I live through facebook and reading about other peoples lives.Now I have started this blog thingy and really don't expect anyone to be interested in mundane life. I just think of it as an on-line diary.
    I have recently quit smoking and some days it is easy. I don't even think about the fact that I smoked up to 2 packs a day. Then there are days like today that I want a cigarette so bad. I won't though. I hate to think that a cigarette has that kind of power over me.
   Well I am off to check my e-mails and then the boys and I are going for a walk.
