About Me

My photo
I want to welcome you to come in and have a cup of coffee or tea with me. let me introduce myself. My name is Diann, wife to Bryan, my soulmate, mother and stepmother to 7, and Nana to 19 of the most beautiful grandchildren. I do work full time, but love it when I have free time. I like to watch movies, read good books, spend time with my husband and have my grandkids over. We use to live near the Nolichuckey River in Greeneville TN. We had two Welsh Pembroke Corgis. The male, his name was Boomer, he passed away on May 31st 2012. The female, her name is Caya (short for Cayanne..like the pepper) she is now being spoiled rotten by my father-in-law. We have moved to El Dorado AR due to a job relocation for Bryan. Now our fur babies number 3 cats, 2 of whom adopted us, and one that we rescued. Indo (short for Inuendo), Lil' Bit and Sophie. Then we rescued 2 of the cutest lab mix pups, one blonde, Loki and one chocolate, Coda. They are brothers and at this point they are now 7 months old and weigh a minimum of 60 lbs. so much for the puppy stage. This profile has been updated and the story continues.....

...the story continues

Well I'm back...been a few days since my last post...as whoever may have read it...it wasn't a good day. Things are better today, but that's how it is when you're 50 something.

I have been able to talk with Bryan via Skype most days. While he is in China we have to make sure we are both in the right place at the right time since it's 12 hours difference. He is having a good time and really likes it there. The town where he is at is considered a "small" town. 6,000,000 people. Uh, I don't think that would pass for a small town in my mind, but there....well it is.

I spent most of the afternoon pickling different types of peppers for him. It wasn't so bad except that the fumes of some of them burnt my nose, eyes and throat. The good thing is, they all sealed. He is planning on making pepper sauce. I'm sure that will be the kind you have to measure by the drop. LOL

I am curious how some of you think and feel at this point in your life. It doesn't matter if you're 50+ or not. You could be older or younger. I'm just curious how everyone is dealing with the different aspects of your daily life.

I have always had a desire to be my own boss and have a business where I can be with people and make lots of wonderful friends. I have tried many different types of things from Avon to Mary Kay, Pampered Chef to Jordan Essentials. I think that I talk my self out of being really good at any of them. Working full time everyday, all I want to do is come home and sleep. It's not exactly how I want to live, but when my mind is exhausted, well.....

I am trying to keep to my new way of eating, but this past week hasn't been a good one. I have not drunk enough water like I have the last few weeks and I can feel it. I have also eaten too much chocolate. I need my veggies....will probably have that tonight. It's amazing how you really feel when you start eating right and then "fall off the wagon" so to speak.

On to a different subject....we went to Chattanooga over the Labor day weekend. I love being in downtown Chattanooga. I would move there if I could, but I would be too far away from my mom, kids and grandkids...and I need them in my life more than I need to be in Chattanooga. So, I will make it a point to go there more often. :>)

We will be going to Flatrock NC on the weekend Bryan gets back from China for the Flatrock Festival. This will be a camping trip, tent and all. I just hope it doesn't rain this year. Last year was terrible.

Ok...enough for now...Please feel free to leave your comments. I really am interested.

Ya'all have a great weekend.
