history 1

now for a little history of myself...my name is faylene and i grew up in a little town in Maine...i was a teenager in the 70's...yes they really did exsist!!!and the times were very good although im sure as a teen i didnt think so...i come from a broken home ,,thats what we called it back then..pretty much now its called normal but i went to live with my aunt and uncle when i was 9 and things got pretty good from there..our town was the kind the town where you started kindergarden and granduated with the same kids...we used to play in the school yards and sidewalks and never had to worry about being picked off the street unless it was by some ones mom catching you doing something wrong!! and all the moms did..it didnt matter which kids were yours all the moms looked out for all the kids...

i didnt blog much this past week ...migrains tend to do that to me but today is ok...its a typical fall day only in the 60s with a nice fall breeze..i walked to moms and bac and thats about 6 miles maybe 5 and half, so today seemed like a good day to pack away the summe and dig out the winter(yuck) clothes...the only problem is i gained so much wieght i really have noting to wear and i refuse to buy bigger so i really need to get serious about this ..oh let see about  2yrs ago i went through a really emotional roller coaster and after a life time of over wieght issues dropped 65lbs and wow did i feel good..emotionaly and phically..i was walking 10miles a day and my knees didnt hurt any more and i had so much energy to play football with my little grandson but over the past 6months or so ive put on35lb!!! i say no more!! im in charge again.

sept 2 2010

it is another very hot day in maine...up in the 90 which is very uncomman for us but as long as the ac holds out we will be fine..ive decided to use this blog as a up to date diary but also a place to tell my history so my grandchildren have a way of finding out that mimi was a real person with real issues as a child ..teenager..and young adult and just maybe they will find a story or a piece of advice that will help them too, but first for today..exptremely hot and i got the doggy cookies done..im unable to work and need a way to make money and ive always wanted to try my hand at a cottage business i guess thats what they call it these days...so making crafts such as soap..bathbombs..doggy treats..sewing crafts mite not make me my millions but hopefully will bring in a jingle and keeps me busy....im doing the soap making with my youngest daughter donna-kaye..and hopefully my oldest shannon will help me with the other stuff..even what little i did today as my wrist on fire but at least i have hands and wrist to hurt when there is many who dont... with any luck at all i will post some pics of my doggy treats...remember this is pretty much my first try at this particular type of cookie
