Anyone? Anyone?

Ok so its a Snow day and I have my nieces today and my little niece Julie is 6 and she is question machine. Seriously she got here at 10:30 and since then for the most part she has followed me around asking me questions about everything I am doing. Its crazy she's like the damn CIA...what are you doing? why? who is that for? etc. After about an hour of it I just ignore about 75% of the questions, but that doesn't stop her. I must say she is very determined. Although if you ask her a question she usually avoids answering you all together. Its quite funny, maybe she is penning some kind of question and answer novel. Maybe I will ask her...Ok she said no.

Back to answering questions. xoxo - Mellycup.

I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream.

Dreams - does anyone out there have really crazy dreams? I have the most detailed dreams and usually I remember most of them. Some of them could be made into a crazy movie I think! But I digress...I am not sure how many people have really intense and long dreams but I feel like I always do. And most of the time I feel like I am so wrapped up in my dreams that I wake up exhausted - which totally voids the whole sleeping process.

I guess sleep issues are just going to be with me always! Maybe my intense and detailed dreams are a sign of creativity. When you think about it...it's kind of crazy the things your mind comes up with and the scenes that play out when you are asleep.

Sweet dreams - xoxo - Mellycup.

When with then be now? Soon....

My stylus - you never realize how reliant you are on the damn thing until you lose it! So my phone is totally touch screen and I use my stylus for everything - to dial a phone number, send an email, update my calendar and play an occasional game of solitaire. You can dial phone numbers by hand if need be but the stylus pretty much runs the phone.

So Friday night Guy asked to use my phone and low and behold my stylus was GONE! I lost it somewhere between the living room and getting into the car to go to the Red Dog. Since I was in Old Forge at the time - if I dropped it outside then forget it - its lost in a winter wonderland. I looked for it when I got home but with no luck.

Along comes Saturday and I am like a lost dog without my teeny little damn stylus, since I am in Old Forge I am stuck, I know I have a replacement at home in the box but that is in CT and I am in NY! By now I've had half a day of no stylus insanity and I am having serious withdrawal issues. Well I come up with the most obvious, easy and cheap (free) solution and I found it at the bar! Bar straw my old buddy - you know that tiny little straw they give you with your cocktail! Well it just so happens that it fits perfectly into the stylus holder slot and with quick snip of the extra length hanging out I had a new stylus.

My MacGyver skills very totally successful and now that I am back in CT I still haven't even hunted down the extra one yet. So if you ever have a stylus crisis now you know what to do - go get a drink, a free stylus and relax!

I would be happy just to hold the hands I love, on this winter's night with you...

So I guess you will have to get used to my few and far between blogs during snowmobiling season. I spend so much of the winter in Old Forge and when I am there I have zero time to blog. I am out snowmobiling, partying, sleeping or playing house mother.

Speaking of playing house mother - most of the time in the OF I am the only girl and I have to be mom to all. Making sure people have clean sheets & towels, covers on them when they pass out, remember to take their pills, remind them to change the toilet paper roll etc. Don't get me wrong I love all my boys and for the most part they are good about cleaning up after themselves but sometimes they aren't. I guess it goes with the territory.

On Thursday night things did get a little wild and I felt more like I was running a dorm for the bad boys summer school...but things calmed down after that and we had a fun weekend despite some other ups and downs.

But in all honesty I would not trade it for the world, my snowmobile family is awesome - all we do is laugh and have fun and I know that no matter what I can always count on them for a good time. So I don't mind being a mini-mom and taking charge of the house, its all worth it. Sometimes to do get crabby and get mad but its never for long. And I know that there are always more good times to come.

Think Snow - I heart winter!

You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here...

To my angel of Peace:

I can't believe its been a year since you left us. It still seems so unreal to me, and it still has not fully sunk in. I think about you everyday and I know that you are there looking down on everyone and watching over us. Everywhere I look there are peace signs and I know thats you. I guess God needed a beautiful angel to watch over us on earth and that is why he took you from us too soon. I will keep you with me always - Rest in Peace Cassidy. I love and miss you.

Peace & Love, xoxo - Mellycup.

I used to believe in forever . . . but forever was too good to be true.

Back to reality! I am home from 11 days in Old Forge and I am having a really hard time getting motivated to get stuff done. I need to finish going through the mail, straighten up the house and take my xmas tree down...arg! I want to go back to the north and party some more. I think I could stay there all winter if I had the chance.

It was so relaxing to be there with all my friends and family. Over the course of the visit we had a rotation of 14 guests - it was madness but so much fun!!! And now being home feels so quiet. I miss you everyone!!!

All in all it was fun week - we had a minor weather hiccup so we lost a few riding days but I still got in a lot of great rides. I've already put almost 500 miles on the new sled which I am loving.

Well I have to get back to work so I am just writing a shorty today.
