Sad about my favorite blogs

It seems that all my favorite reads have either closed their blogs, kept them on-line but don't post anymore or the latest developement one of my all times best has decided to only have "invited" readers and I am not one of them....it's like losing a family member and it makes me sad here in Bingaland!

Happy Mother's Day

I spent the better part of the day moving the DD home from the dorm, what a job... I did receive a lovely and unexpected gift an iPod Shuffle from said DD...YAY! I am tired here in Bingaland.

The BUG, the blahs and other things

Yes I was bitten by the big green BUG this past weekend and I am still recovering. Boy it just hits you out of nowhere and there is nothing you can do to stop it, NOTHING. Then the next few days you walk around in a BLAH fog neither feeling bad nor feeling good. Not to mention the weather is crappy, rainy and windy and that doesn't help. So there it is folks, just plain yukky here in Bingaland!

30 years is a long time

I have worked for the same company for 30 almost 31 years. I know in this day and age that is almost unheard of. I fell into a job there right out of high school and the benefits were so good that I just stayed. Of course a lot can happen in that amount of years and of course those wonderful benefits aren't so wonderful anymore, but are still better than what most newbies will be offered starting fresh. Tonight I went to a retirement gathering of one of the people I have know for most of my time there. He is a quiet man, a nice guy all around. I am glad for him that he can now just do whatever he wants with his days but sad that he is one of the few remaining oldies left. So I have learned the definition of Bittersweet, happy yet sad. When I retire in 5 years time who will be left that will remember me from way back when? Sad huh?

What my first name means.

What Kimberly Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Mole Removal

I had the day off from work to go have a rather large mole removed from the corner of my eye. The mole didn't bother me, nor was it suspicious and I was happy to just leave it there but alas it bothered others and it was suggested on more than one occasion that I have it taken off, so it's gone. After the procedure Auntie Carol and I headed out for some fabric shopping and lunch. It's a rainy, raw day but it's still better than going to work, that's it for Thursday here in Bingaland.

So much for being alone

My DD is a sophomore in college, she lives at the dorm during the week and more weekends than not she is home to do her laundry. Most weeks I am fine with the solitude then there are those weeks for some unknown reason that by Wednesday I have to see her. It's easy enough with her being just 15 minutes from home. This week however is Spring Break and she and a friend went to Florida. Now I have traveled quite a bite since she was born and it never really bothered ME to be away but I'll tell ya, I wasn't so fond of it being the other way around, HER gone and ME here. I guess it's a mother thing you want your kid where they normally are, in a safe environment, a place they know and are known. She will be home tonight at Midnight, once she is back, life will normal here in Bingaland.

Can you walk 10,000 steps a day?

My doctor has given me the lovely task of walking 10,000 steps a day, but I can only seem to reach 5,000 steps. I would have to walk home from work (22 miles) to get the other 5,000 in. I know in 8 weeks when I go back for my appointment with my walking chart sadly short each day he will sit there looking at me over the top of his glasses with disbelief that I couldn't manage it, I think walking to nowhere in particular is the most boring task. Sadly lacking here in Bingaland.
