There is a weather front moving it's way into the city and it's rotten to be outside (not cold but wet thank goodness as we've been in a drought since last summer).

Who or what do you really love?

First I love myself - how can you love someone else unless you love yourself first?  Geez, that sounds so, OMG it's my father (and he's dead)!!!  Yes he was a very vain man, used to kiss himself numerous times a day and loved looking in the mirror at himself (no he wasn't a girl).   Yikes, I'm getting off track here.

Second I love my family - husband, children, they give me strength to face each day, they are the fiber that make me live.

Third - I love my siblings (well most of them anyway), we tie one another together (for better or worse).

Is there anything you've done that you wish you'd apologized for, but didn't?

Without a doubt there are many situations where I shot my mouth off without first thinking about the words/actions and how they would be understood, misconstrued, misunderstood, viewed.

The most recent time this happened was when I posted some photos on a family website of an event I attended and the people in attendance.  One of my brothers (I have 5 brothers and 1 sister) who is a cop had a hissy fit because I attended a biker wedding (I was the matron of honor and the bride was a woman I had worked with).  My brother thought his opinion was worth more than it was (to me at least) and proceeded to tell me how wrong I wasn't.  Being the big sister (and always right) I flew off the handle in a rage that has precluded us from talking again.

I definitely should not have raged at him like I did (although his opinion wasn't warranted).  I'm sorry Matthew.

Is this group still active?  I've noticed that there hasn't been a post in almost 18 months.

What do you do when you find yourself with nothing to do?

Hmmmm, that doesn't ever happen, I always have something I can do.  Now that I'm retired, I actually find I'm busier than I was pre-retirement.  When I was raising my family or working, I used to wonder what it would be like to have everyday, all day to myself, to do whatever I wanted.

I love to read, meditate, crochet, learn more about my Mac and all that's available online (like this blogging).  I'm a good cook and like to spend time experimenting with new spices.  Then there is travel, I love to cruise.  I'd just assume not to put much effort into the cleaning and laundry that is also necessary - hahaha.
