......and smiling today today. Spent the night with a tall, dark and handsome man mmmmmmmmm!!! I'm a little tired.....he wears me out but if you heard his side of the story he might say the same about me. It's all good though. We did take some more pics and I do promise to post them soon. My memory card is filling up and I just haven't had the time to upload them or free time anyways.....with no peering eyes from children. Can't let them see mommy behaving badly....or goodly....depending on who you ask ;0

Kisses to all. Hope you are all well and smiling with me.

TG ))))))))))))))) xo

Let's start with an apology for my late replies and lack of blogs. Busy time right now. I got some returned PM's out of the way this morning and hopefully I didn't forget anyone.

I started my new job on Monday. It's good....I am enjoying it but OMG am I ever tired this weekend. I have been home for almost 6 months and its hard to get back into that working routine. As I mentioned before - it is only a 1 year contract but the pay is AWESOME so I will tough it out for the year and see what happens. The commute is about 40 min in good weather so I am dreading the bad weather driving. Again...I will suck it up for a good pay cheque.

So - how is everyone......I need updates...I feel like a stranger here now. Hoping everyone is well.....

Miss you all.......TG xo

......I am now gainfully employed!! yeahhhhhhhh!!!
Some of you know I have been off work since May - searching for that perfect job in a very tough market with more competition than I ever imagined. Despite having a college education and plenty of experience its been a long haul.

I don't want to share any more details on here but I will say its a great job and excellent pay & perks!! The only downfall.....it is a contract position so I am only really guaranteed 1 yr of employment but I am hopeful it will turn into more.

I am excited to move onto this next step in my life and even more so excited that I am starting to see some possitive changes in my life. Special thank you to my 6'4 guardian angel aka...my dad!!!

Looking forward to some changes.....TG

........Happy Thanksgiving!! Although this year is a rough one for me I am remaining positive and can still think of so many wonderful things to be thankful for. We had our dinner last night and despite one person missing (dad) it was so very nice to all be under the same roof.

I am getting one milestone after another under my belt but the first year is just full of so damn many firsts!!!!

On a brighter note......I HAVE NEW PICS.....BUT I haven't uploaded them yet....some really good ones though. Hopefully even more to follow as my beau and I are going away Wednesday night for a night of unwedded bliss!! He is so very good to me and OMG - more than a yr later and I am still saying that. New record for me LOL.

.....a turkey "stuffed" TG.....reminding you to watch for pics!! xx

..........NO KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever will we do??? *evil grin*

TG....smiling...planning & packing!!

I am heading north this morning to the cottage. It will be kind of a rough trip since it was there that my father passed away on Aug 31st. I haven't been up since. I am ready though......

It will also be difficult for more than just that reason. Some of you know that I have contemplated selling my "home away from home" for a couple of years now. Well its a done deal now. As of mid Oct. I will pass it along to someone else to enjoy. Again......it was time.

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay safe....

TG...reflecting xx

Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous blog with regards to my father's sudden and untimely death. I found much comfort in reading your thoughts. Sadly many of you could relate to my feelings due to your own losses.

It will be a long journey but the healing begins and the memories with last a lifetime.

Forever "Daddy's Little Girl".....TG xo

He was larger than life and he touched everyone's heart who knew him....and now he is gone. It is with great sadness that I write about the loss of my father and mentor. He passed suddenly on Sunday at the tender age of 60.

a tearful TG.....
R.I.P Daddy

.....stressed, overtired, have a killer headache, pms'ing, unemployed, broke, undersexed (not by choice on either of our parts BTW)......blahhhh blahhh blahhh. Well for those of you who asked.....there you have it!!

in a mood...TG oh yeah....and did I mention PMS'ing!!!

....so I know I have been MIA for a while now but I have been creeping the NN halls a little more lately and catching up with some good friends.

I must ask though......where the hell is VB?? Poof...he's just gone....??

wondering who else's departure I might have missed - TG (
