WHEN DID YOU???

When did you learn about blogging? I learned about blogs and blogging two years ago when my niece created a blog "Dust Bunny Hostage". Jen's blog is funny and witty and all the things people look for when blog reading. I would not put my blog in the same category but still I love reading blogs. So I'm just curious as to when you first learned about blogging and when did you start yours.

I can hardly believe it has been almost two weeks since I've done a post. There is plenty going on but just not enough time to post about it. Married life is more life changing than I thought it would be but in a very good way.

Joe & I are still in the getting to know you phase. Joe is a kidder, he likes to kid, he reminds me a lot of my brothers in that respect. However, I don't always get the humor. Well, most of the time, I don't get it which makes whatever it is even more funny to Joe. Sometimes, he just decides the explanation will take too long and just moves on to something else. Does your spouse find things funny that you just don't get??? I would give an example but I can't think of one.

We had a snow day not so long back. It was great. Enough snow to close the schools but not enough to keep me home. Have you ever had the sensation of being in a snow globe? The glittery kind not the snowy kind. The morning after the almost non-existent snow the wind was blowing the snow that had turned to ice flakes off the roof, deck and trees. It sparkled like glitter as it swirled in the breeze and caught sun rays before the weather got too warm and it started to melt. Joe & I stood at the kitchen window and enjoyed the show. I even cooked my Joe a good breakfast that morning. Very Norman Rockwell of me. HA!!! I can not imagine living where snow is normal. Imagine me tipping my hat and bowing to all of you who do live with snow as a normal thing.

Tomorrow, I go for more bone grafting on my right lower jaw bone. Bone grafting was done in four sites during the surgery in December. Three sites took but the one where the cyst was removed did not. The procedure will be done in the surgeon's office so I'm thankful I don't have to go back to the hospital. They will use cadaver bone again. I'm praying it will take this time. The surgeon said if it doesn't take this time around then they will have to take some of my bone from somewhere and do the procedure again. Apparently bone is like an organ, if it isn't your tissue, there is a chance of rejection. He said he could remove bone from my hip or just below the knee. The thought brought tears to my eyes. Please remember me in your prayers.

Oh, one other thing. Joe weighed. He has gained 10 pounds since the wedding. HA!!! Yep, peanut M & Ms and ice cream will do it to ya.

Also, the decision has been made, the great-grandson will call me Grandmama. It has also been decided that everyone in the family will go ahead and start calling me Grandmama so there will be no confusion when he gets here in mid-May. Joe has a great family!!! They asked me what I wanted to be called, I told them, there was NO debate. I was expecting DEBATE!! It was as if, none of them had ever considered calling a grandmother by grandmama or grandmother. OH WELL, our autistic granddaughter was told once that I was Grandmama and it stuck so if she has it so will the rest of them. The decision was made Saturday. Yesterday, Joe pointed at me and asked H. (autistic granddaughter we will call her H.) "Who is that." She didn't miss a beat with her reply of "Grandmama!!!" I couldn't help but smile.

O.K. so I realize I'm rambling. I will try to get to your site soon. Really, I will.
