Where have I been?

Wow, it has been 3 years since I have been on my own blog. How sad! I enjoyed blogging but life must have caught up with me. Let's see what I can do with it now. I don't even know how many people paid attention to me in the first place anyway :)

Things have changed in the last 3 years. But nothing too much. Any future posts and you will notice my more recent addiction to cruising. Plus I can actually afford to buy art now that I am older so you will see some art posts. And whatever else randomness comes to mind for me :)

If you happen to stumble across my page you will see just a little bit of everything from me. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Fourth Of July!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend!

I can't believe how stupid people can be when they are using fireworks. People just don't think. It's not always just people drinking either. I have seen plenty of sober people just going crazy because they are caught up in the moment. Last night my neighbor was holding two fountain fireworks in his hands and twirling them around like they were sparklers. Okay, I know I live in California and all we have is safe and sane fireworks... but that's only if you use them properly! This isn't the worst I've seen, just one small example of people being stupid.

I've never been a fan of fireworks. It started when I was young when the city I was living in was having a fireworks display. Well, something went wrong and the fireworks were exploding only about 50 feet off of the ground. The ashes and sparks were raining down on the spectators and I got burned. No, not bad like some people have been unfortunate enough to experience. But it did hurt and it is something I will never forget.

My husband grew up in Washington where many fireworks are legal. Or at least legal if you buy them off of an Indian reservation. He hates the fireworks that we have. But me, this is one of the few moments in my life I am actually happy to live in California.

Just Waiting
