This has been the wierdest year for weather in NC.  I guess all over the country.  So, we at least have been lucky about snow/sleet/freezing rain.  That is, up until now.  My man is supposed to drive down from VA Sunday.  Um, I don't think so!  Well, if they clear the roads adequately, the storm is supposed to go thru by Saturday night sometime.  Booooo.  Skip a weekend?  Um, NOT!!!!!  Shall we pray for some global warming so all we get is rain?  Ack!  I have the TV on and all they are talking about is the foot of snow we are supposed to get.  Worse, yet, mixed with sleet.  Blah!  Ah, sprin

My man is Italian.  Very Italian.  100% even.  I have met some of his family.  Wow!  And it's all good!  So, I decided to cook a real Italian meal for him.  I searched the net for authentic recipes.  Even found an article on "Italian Cooking 101".  Nice.

I had my day in court today.  I couldn't tell if the police officer was on my side or someone elses, or neither.  He did tell a couple untruths, or perhaps exaggerations.  But, he also said some things that were totally in my favor.  Who knows?  Anyways, I got the ticket DISMISSED!!!!!!  It was bogus to start with.  The judge started his day by announcing he was in a good mood.  Then he proceded to knock down everyone's charges, one by one, and dismissed mine.  w00t!  All it cost me was a day's work, 5 hours of my time (driving back and forth to Mecklenburg county, VA), about $20 in gas, no

I had two calls on my voice mail when I got home from work last night.  Both were the same, from my brothers, telling me that my sister, Jeanie, had passed away.  Not totally unexpected, but a bit of a surprise, anyways.  She had been in a nursing home with my other sister (same room, even!) until she died last year.  Jeanie was devastated and I don't think she ever recovered from her loss.  With Mom and Dad both gone, and now her sis, too, I believed it was only a matter of time.  They are all together now in a happy place.  I have a visual of them that is comforting.  I hope it is true.
