LOL I am hopping on here to give you all six new letters and then I am getting back in bed to make sure I kill this virus for good. A flu bug can linger in my body for weeks. I don't want that to happen :-o !!

Before I proceed I want to congratulate Jan one more time for winning last week's game. Way to go, Jan!! The deadline this week is Saturday, 9AM EDT, since I am posting so late. Also, only a couple of you gave me your new blog addresses. This gives me a lot more work. If you would like me to continue to link you, please leave your blog URLs and your first name or nickname.

flu, cats...

I've got the flu. I've been in bed for two days and have been asleep most of it. That's why I haven't posted the Weekly Sentence yet. I am so very sorry. You'll forgive me because it's my birthday, right? LOL

Plech, the flu. I've been up since the middle of the night. Honey woke me up when she sat on my head. So I decided to get on my computer. Boo is scratching on the wall right now. He wants me to go back to bed. Boo is very much like a dog. He follows me everywhere. He is my shadow. He won't go back to bed if I am up. He's tired. Poor Boo. Honey is different. She's very independent. She doesn't care what I do. I only see her a few times a day. She likes to be alone. The last time I couldn't find her she made a hole inside my boxsprings under my mattress and crawled up into it. When Honey doesn't want to be found she will not be found. Boo and Honey are so very different. They still don't like each other, which is very sad. They won't become friends, after four years. They each live on separate sides of the house. The only time they meet is when they vie for my attention or I am feeding them. Wow, Boo is still scratching on the wall. He wants to sleep.

I don't know why I started talking about my cats. I need to post the Weekly Sentence. I will be doing that a little later this morning and giving you all six new letters. Thanks so much for being patient. Take care, everyone... I'm going to go put a cat to bed.

Weekly Sentence reminder, gadgets, notes...

Hi you =)!! How are you this nice Fall afternoon? I'm hanging in there. I wanted to let you all know that if you still intend to play the Sentence Game this week (letters: TREATS) I am extending the deadline until tomorrow at 4PM EDT because I posted it a day late, and well, people are just getting settled in and locating the game. If you know anyone who enjoys wordplay or who played the game in the past send them my way! I do appreciate it!

I've been having fun checking out widgets and gadgets, etc. for my sidebar. I'm disappointed, though, that we aren't able to add them one by one and re-arrange them as easily as we were able to in AOL. You take the good with the bad, I suppose. I am still feeling a bit lost. I guess it takes me longer than most folks. Like I said, I am a gal who likes routine and predictability. If you see anything you like on my blog and are interested in having it, let me know and I will help you locate it. I really like the Neocounter. It is fun and was so very easy to install! I have a few causes that are dear to my heart on my sidebar if you can check them out. Most are click sites and only take a couple of minutes out of your day and can do a world of good. Thanks =)!!

Oh, good news, Krissy and John migrated their blogs!! They had a tough few weeks... I am sure they would love to hear from you guys!!

On a final note, I would like to wish my sister, Therese, and brother, Carl, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Their birthdays are two days apart this week. Someone else special has a birthday this week... I wonder who it is??? Lots of birthdays in my family!! Have a good day, everyone!! Hugs, Val =)

Weekly Sentence #33, what's up...

Good morning and happy Monday! I haven't posted in awhile, a real post. I was thrown for the biggest loop with the blog migrations. I don't like change. I really don't. I am a gal who likes routine. I can handle change, though, but it takes me awhile. I think I am okay now. LOL Things have been kind of crazy in my family. My mom is doing better since her surgery. It was a tough road for her, but she is getting better since her surgery. If you haven't been following my blog, my mom fractured her neck and had surgery - not easy for a lady in her 70's. John, my sister Krissy's husband, is doing quite a bit better, too. He is still away at Hershey. He had chicken pox and pneumonia and a couple of other problems. I will allow Krissy to fill you in on that when she returns. She sends her love to everyone. She is very stir crazy and is sad that she hasn't been able to blog in a couple of weeks. She hasn't even been able to migrate her journal.

I am going to start the Sentence Game fresh this morning. Since the migration, I don't think it would be fair to judge the last group of letters I gave you guys. There are a number of bloggers I haven't been able to locate yet. I wanted to ask a few things of you all before I post the letters because we are a bit scattered about...

- Please leave your first name, or a nickname you go
by, and...
- Please leave a URL to your MAIN blog. Many of you
have several blogs and if you want to be linked I want
to be able to link you back to the blog that you choose.

I thought a Halloween theme would be fun this week! Do you guys like themed games? I never really got an answer to this question. Let me know! Now on to the rules and the letters! If you have never read the rules, or haven't in a long time, please do!
