Ok update of Update from Yesterday/ Last night

Well Last night I went to the airport to pick up a friend I met online. We have been talking for almost 3 months now and he's finally coming. So I thought. Well He was supposed to call me from Minneapolis when he got in and he didn't. I kept thinking he got tied up in customs and was rushing to catch his connector flight. So I went to the airport and no friend. I was disappointed at first and then when I talked to the woman at the ticket desk I got really pissed off. (sorry for those who don't hear me talk like that). I left there and feel sorry for my youngest daughter, cause I tend to speed a lot when I am mad. I came home and was fuming for a while. Then praying and asking why?? I never did get anything. Well I never heard from him all night (or all day). Well I sent an email that wasn't very nice . (no cussing but very hurt in it). I get a message from his brother around midnight. Saying he had problems with immigration in Austria. Things got messed up and he couldn't call or message me yet. That I should hear from him soon.

At 5:30 AM I get him on my messenger explaining all that happened. Was a BIG mess up with the agency he used to get the plane ticket. Had to call back to states to his boss and everything. The mess is going to take a few extra days to get straight. Bummer.

I really had to apologize to him for the harsh email. And he apologized for other things. We are cool now. He is still coming. And I definitely am not going to airport til he calls me from the states. LOL

Well thanks all for listening to me babble. Thought I would catch some people up on what was happening. I was getting questions about how things went.

Well blogg again tomorrow about how the day went.

Have Great Thanksgiving to ALL, & God Bless

OK I only seem to be averaging once a week here................... :( :(

I just can't get myself to blog at a halfway decent pace. Either once a week or maybe if I am lucky twice. Well here is the update between last Wednesday and now.


I was MAJOR sick last week. Sore throat and headache, cough and all. Well I wasn't good on my food plan at that time either, but come Thursday afternoon on. I was very good. Got in most of my water those days and started feeling better. I actually made it to church on Sunday, kind of had to it was my day to minister for the Sound Board. Very interesting to do when your hearing is still all in a tunnel. LOL Luckily for me one of the other guys on the Team thought it was his weekend and helped me out. Still didn't feel 100% on Sunday but chilled and didn't do a whole lot more. Plenty of sleep on Sunday and woke up Monday feeling PRETTY GOOD. Whoopee!!!! Its about time!! Well last week I was talking to my special friend online and He is finally coming to visit. FINALLY!!! He has been trying to get here since we met in August. He has had all kinds of obstacles to hurdle over. But he is coming finally. At least I think he is. LOL I haven't heard from him yet and his plane landed in the states at 10:37AM PST. But his flight doesn't leave Minneapolis until until 3:17PM PST. He is due here at 7:09PM. This is going to be interesting. I met him online almost 3 months ago. We have been talking almost every day since then. I mean every day we could between his work schedule and mine and sleeping for the both of us. LOL a 8 - 9 hour time difference didn't help either. When I was awake he was sleeping mostly and when he was awake I was sleeping. LOL that was interesting. Well things finally got finished and fixed and he is headed here for at least a week. Just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday. This is awesome. Well I really am getting jittery with the time getting closer so maybe I will go take a nap and try to sleep some of the time away. LOL I thought my stomach was doing flip flops yesterday. Today seems to be worse. Bigger butterflies I think today and not really hungry either, even though I thought I was starving. LOL

Well gonna end this and update later tonight or tomorrow on how things went.

Thanks for all the support and comments you all leave. I really love to read for others. God Bless U all

11:52PM UPDATE:
Well I think I am stupid or something. He didn't show or call. I guess the joles on me this time, as always. LOL oh well. Well thanks for listening you all.

How to recover from a kicker cold and still stay on track...........................

Ok this is officially day 3 of a kicker cold I have. It started coming on last week with the headaches, but now I sound like a swallowed a family of Bull Frogs. LOL people keep telling me Juices and Soups, but these are not on NS plan of action. Especially the Juice. I mean have you looked at the calories in one glass of the stuff. Needless to say I could drink a whole gallon and not think anything of it. LOL

Ok, so any suggestions from any one today?? Do I blow the progress I have made to get better, or does anyone know of another way and still stay good. I have been hungry so I have been eating. I am trying to make good choices though. Like last night I was hungry after dinner so I made some Cream Of Wheat, it was warm and smooth, felt good on my throat, i have been drinking tea too. Ok well I am way open to any suggestions please.

Thanks in advance to any help out there.

OK Flashback Friday......I know I am late..........

Ok I am bad with this but in talking to my niece last night I don't remember a whole lot of specifics about my childhood. I mean I can recall when someone is talking about an incident, but I can not pull up the whole story in my memory. So I figured I would blog about the one person in my life that I learned a lot from. Now if you feel sadness from this blogg I am sorry. And if I ramble on Please Forgive Me, but I have not really talked about my sister with anyone except my niece since she has passed away. SO Here Goes............... This is about My Sister, Her name is Ann. Early on in life, I was probably 5 yrs old I remember Ann helping me clean my room so I wouldn't get in trouble from my mom. She would show me, and help me put things away and in their places so it looked nice. I remember her always being around. My Niece says she was Miss Betty Crocker homemaker. She was always showing us that things could be done. Cooking, baking, just in general being there. (I don't remember my mom doing that. I mean she did but I was always told to get out of the kitchen. Hardly ever allowed to watch.) the best times for my sister was when she was baking cookies. Chocolate Chip at that............... LOL Yes they are my MAJOR WEAKNESS!!!!! I Loved (ok still LOVE) to eat the cookie dough from the bowl. I remember disappearing into the kitchen when she was baking a batch. Now the make up of the house I grew up in. The living room was on the other side of the wall from the kitchen. So when I would disappear into the kitchen, Ann would ask me what I was doing after a couple of minutes. And ALWAYS I would try to play it off by telling her I was getting a drink or something else. But invariably I had a mouthful of cookie dough. "Sherri GET OUT of the cookie dough and OUT of the kitchen." she would tell me. Then back I would go again after the next batch was in. I would either be stealing cookie dough, or a nice hot cookie. I always wondered how she had any cookies left for anyone else after I had made my trips to the kitchen. When I was 7 yrs Old, I remember I was sick and my mom came in my room first thing in the morning and told me I had a Birthday Present. June 1, is the day if you wanted to know). I was excited, and asked for it. She said it was still at the hospital, that Ann had had her baby. I was disappointed, I told her I didn't want that. LOL Who wants a niece on their birthday as a kid. LOL That was the best gift Ann could have given me. I Love My niece, her name is Melissa. Later I remember going on Vacation with my family and stopping at my sisters place in TX. That was cool, until night time. I Remember when the lights were off, looking at the floor and telling my niece the floor was moving. We turned back on the lights and it was HUGE cockroaches. EWWWWW.......... They seemed like the size of my hand, I doubt it though. Later when I was 13 I got to go visit her for a summer, well 3 weeks. I had a blast. There I saw her in action. Keeping up a house and cooking and caring for her kids. Her ex-husband was a jerk, I thought. (Well he still is, but that is a totally different subject). He was in the Armed Forces and I remember her cooking all afternoon so dinner would be ready when he came home. She would serve him first. That is the right thing to do. But he would be totally finished eating before she could get the next person served. I thought that was wrong even then, I asked her about it, but she never said a word, if I recall correctly she said don't worry about it. Now she had 3 kids, My niece Melissa (born on my birthday), my nephew Willie, and my niece Shana. A few years later she left him and came to live back home with my mom & I. That was cool, I liked it when she was around. I came home from school one day and my nephew Willie was gone and my sister was upset and beat up a little (she had a tear in her ear lobe and, cracked ribs and a lump behind her ear; she was always complaining that it hurt). Her ex-husband had come over taken him from her (of course there was a BIG struggle) and left. Now they weren't divorced yet. I remember there were times when she would have to go back to Texas to go to court about this matter. She never stopped fighting to get him (Willie) back. After a while I guess she had exhausted the court system but she had said that the court had awarded Willie to his father. YUCK that was sucky. A couple of years later I remember her being in the hospital and not knowing if she was going to make it. I found out she had Thyroid Cancer. That lump behind her ear that she had been complaining about was cancerous previous to the fight with her ex-husband. She had to have her Thyroids removed. A year or so after that she had surgery again, the cancer had spread to her chest but the Dr's couldn't do the whole surgery at one time. She had to recover from the Thyroid Surgery before they could remove the rest of the cancer. That one really scared me. I REALLY didn't think she was going to make it. She did though. We had the getting High incident and all and just other memories of her come back. Through out the years I remember always keeping in touch and visiting. We always talked about how the cancer was doing and how she was feeling. She had gone into remission for a LONG time. One day she told me the Dr's found a spot of cancer, and SWORE me to secrecy. She began telling the family through out the year. I remember she was really weak at thanksgiving. She was very uncomfortable that day. She didn't make it to Christmas. She died of complications about 2 weeks before. We had her Home Going service, I found out my brother led her to the Lord before she died. And then the burial, she was cremated and laid to rest in a Pig Cookie Jar. She REALLY LOVED Pigs. She is buried in the same plot as my grandpa and my mother. Well now that I have rambled on, and lost of few of you at times. I am sorry. I am finally finished. And yes many a tissue lost its life to the writing of this blog. Thanks for listening to me ramble. Sherri G Ok I finally found the pics of my sister. Been looking all day.

The Scarlet Challenge....................................An interesting Story from My Childhood

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................. This one could prove to some VERY shocking.................

When I was a teen I was a typical rebellion. I used to smoke cigerettes & Weed. One of my older sisters also smoked weed. So one day we went to one of her friends place and was getting Loaded. A couple of hours later, maybe 3, I started feeling really weird. I was going at normal speed, but everything around me was going SUPER slow. My sister had me lay down, go wash my face, everything she could think of to get me to be better. We even sat outside in the cold so I could get some (freezing, if I recall correctly) fresh air. None of this really worked. We ended up driving around for like an hour and a half just so my high would go down enough to be able to get home, in the house and past my mom, without both of us getting KILLED. Literally!! Needless to say, My sister kept saying ALL day. NEVER AGAIN you are not getting high with me, NEVER. I even asked her a couple of other time and I got, NO!!!

Oh a side note on this, My neice that is 7 yrs younger than me remembers this, she said my sister thought I was going to die and she was really scared. Now I feel bad about the whole thing

I do think the whole thing is kind of funny. I didn't stop smoking weed for a couple of more years when I had another bad high, from someone putting other things in the joints. I figured after that, that I really wasn't supposed to be getting high. A couple of years later I asked Christ to Live in my Heart and have been Living for Him as best I could since then.

This story is ok here cause My kids already know this story. So now you all know to.
