Caylee Anthony's memorial service was today. It's a terrible, shameful thing for such a young, child to be killed and tossed away like so much trash. The article I was reading said her mother didn't even ask to watch the service. I cannot understand that. What makes her tick? There cannot be a heart in that woman's body. And the grandmother seems to be just as looney tunes as the mother. How can she still insist that her daughter is innocent and people should treat her with compassion and not judge her?
I do know that you shouldn't judge other people, but I could be a lot less judgemental if she would come clean and just tell the truth. Her story is so full of holes nobody could believe a word of it! This whole thing boggles my mind.

My Daughter is 28 Years Old
My only child turns 28 years old today! How the heck did that happen? It can't possibly have been 28 years since she was born. Time goes by too quickly. There are so many things I always intended to do with her that we never got around to. I feel more than a little depressed. But I am so proud of her! She's smart and beautiful and funny and she is and always will be the light of my life. I love you Jennifer!

25 Things You May Not Know About Me
1. I am a very impatient person. I try not to be, but sometimes it feels like I might literally explode if I don't release the pressure when I try to contain myself.
2. The older I get, the crabbier I become. By the time I'm 80, I'm gonna be a bitch on wheels.
3. I'm mildly claustrophobic.
4. I hate crowds. A crowd is more than 5 people in the same room.
5. Music can change my mood in less than 2 minutes.
6. The closet door in my bedroom must be closed or I can't sleep.
7. I love food but I hate food.
8. I believe in reincarnation.
9. I am perfectly happy with my own company.
10. I can't stand it when someone leaves a television on and leaves the room. Turn it off if you're not gonna watch it!
11. I am not a party person. I'd rather have peace and quiet than go to the best party anyone ever threw.
12. I'm usually reading at least 3 different books at the same time.
13. I can become so engrossed in genealogical research that I completely lose track of time.
14. I wish I could play the piano. Or a guitar. Or any musical instrument for that matter.
15. I hug trees.
16. I can watch a human being being tortured and killed in a movie, but if an animal gets hurt I will cry and refuse to watch the movie any further.
17. I wanted to be a Marine Biologist when I started high school.
18. More than a couple of bites of most cooked fruits or vegetables will make me gag.
19. The first time I got my ears pierced (the old fashioned way, with a needle) I fainted.
20. More than 3 days without sunshine will turn me into a severely depressed human being.
21. I never go barefooted. Ever.
22. I obsessively wash my hands. And I hate to touch doorknobs.
23. I will frequently go out of my way to do exactly the opposite of what someone thinks I will do.
24. I enjoy experimenting with new recipes. It's the only time I like to cook.
25. When I ask someone what they're thinking and they tell me "Nothing" I cannot understand how that can be. My brain never shuts up. Can a person really not have any thoughts at a given moment in time?

Cold Outside!
Geez, apparently I can't even get it together enough to write 2 days in a row! What the heck do I have to say that's worth writing down? OK, I'll talk about the weather.
It's very cold here today - 32 degrees this am! That's freezing! We native Floridians are not used to dealing with temperatures this low and in my opinion, it should be illegal to have to get out of bed on a morning like this! Brrrr. I had to wear a sweater and a coat. I feel like the Michelin Man.

Time Flies
Wow, it's been almost 2 years since I wrote anything here....where did the time go? It only seems like a couple months should have passed. I'm gonna try to be more consistent with my blogging from now on. I'm sure it will be mostly boring but since this is really only for me, I don't care! I read that some guy in the 1600's wrote a list of what he did and what he ate every day in his diary and that book has been published and read by thousands of people, so the least I can do for myself, especially since time is passing me by so swiftly, is to jot down a few thoughts every day. Maybe that will help me slow down a little.
Today, I've taken it in my head to enter my recipe for White Chocolate Raspberry Streusel Muffins in a Bake-Off Contest. So when I made them this morning for breakfast, I actually measured things and wrote it down. And of course, they didn't come out as good as usual...the streusel wasn't crumbly enough - so I'll have to make them again next week and re-measure the topping ingredients. John loved them though, so it's not like I wasted my time this morning.
