Turn of events and oh yeah, I'm back!

Greetings my fellow bloggers! I know, I know - The Wrider has been away too long. I apologize for the long hiaitus. You all have been on my mind often and I have read your blogs - just not been able to post myself. I hope that is over now and I can get back to boring you all with my life!

So... What am I referring to in the title? I'm sure you are dying with curiousity so I won't keep you waiting. After two weeks with my mother we have decided that perhaps Ohio is NOT where we would like to retire to. I realize you might be in shock upon reading this, so I will give you a minute to recover....................

OK, that's long enough. Yeah, so the DH and I are talking about staying here for awhile. Go figure, right? After all the complaining we did and continue to do about the weather we are now going to stay? Go ahead, call us fickle. We feel the same way.

I don't want to say the visit with my mother was bad - let's just say she hasn't changed and is just as self-centered and mean as I remember she was. Age really hasn't done anything to mellow her out. Seeing Vegas with a 70 year old is really different. I mean, she was a trooper to a point and enjoyed the casinos and sights, but really she made $5.00 last longer than anyone I have ever come in contact with before and on the other side ended up not really playing much at all. That's fine for her - but it got old watching her bet $.15 a spin for hours on end. :-) Vegas is always great - so I did have fun. I did buy a cool pair of Harley Davidson sunglasses. They are HOT. I also found a really cool new bracelet and necklace, so the week wasn't a complete waste. I think I had two drinks. Yeah, you read that right - me (The Wrider) only had 2 drinks. Now you might say that was my problem but I just wasn't in the mood to 'drink'.

I did receive my first unemployment check yesterday. That was nice and will help me to RELAX and UNWIND so as to enjoy my time off. No real plans... Just playing with the ponies, taking motorcycle riding classes and getting my license...Reading and napping.

WOW -that is big news.

It is funny how a dream can change as reality sets in... you know you & the DH will find the ideal place that will bring happiness and peace to your soul.

I guess I should go to vegas sometime and partake in the free drinks... i only play the quarter machines and since i never win my $20 is gone in a flash.

we should do a happy hour... soon!
