Moved Blog... October 25th, 2009
How did this happen? When did this happen? It started so innocently - it was a game. A farm game for God’s sake. Who could become addicted to a farm game? This was perfectly safe. I knew I could stop anytime I wanted to.
Getting up in the middle of the night because I had planted something at a bad time… well, it only happened once. Getting up early in the morning to harvest, plow, and replant… happened several times.... well, more like most mornings. Checking on the farm during work breaks and lunch… it was my free time to do what I want with. I was perfectly fine eating a quick sandwich or hand full of carrots for lunch at my computer.
That I would worry about my animals might have been a sign. My first cause was to save the black sheep in the balloon. Oh my God; I was worried sick about the black sheep. I had to give him to a nice family who would remove him from the balloon and let him forever play with the children in the yard. I convinced myself of this in order to let him go. And those poor sad cows… those pink cows.... all those poor little black sheep. I would give them homes and pet them and love them. This should have all been a sign to me. I should have noticed that this was not just a game any longer.
Lately I have heard of turtles. I have never seen one, but want one so desperately. Everyone but me has one; I am sure.
There was a day or so a couple of weeks ago that Farmville was having problems that I should have realized the extent of my problem. They fixed it, and I soon forgot the actual torment I was feeling at not being able to tend my crops or my animals.
But now… Facebook itself is not working… I have lost not only my farm, but all of my Farmville neighbors - my School of Magic house mates… and all my friends - many of whom I have never met - probably never will… and my family and friends who have stood beside me through this addiction. Some of them actually sharing. Some of them recovering (only one really is recovering, but she lost her computer). Some of them just standing by, waiting to pick up the pieces.
However, I have lost Facebook contact with all of them. I guess I could use the phone, text or maybe tweet.... or even, God help me, get out of the house and actually visit.
But what about the farm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone think the value of Miller will drop if Baz is not drinking from noon until around 5 or 6? On the other hand, I did purchase the same amount of beer as I normally would for the weekend. Maybe he will just stay up later.
I will be writing letters today - email, letters is way beyond what I do any longer - anyway, I will be writing letters to people in England - reminding them that we all promised to stay in touch and that all of us are slackers.
Maybe I will look them all up on facebook… that would be so much easier.
Isn’t funny how quickly people give up their good intentions. I promised that I would write at least weekly to everyone. Keep them updated on our lives. We did good for maybe a month. And then it really was me waiting… still waiting for the responses. Alright, I could have written… could have said hey, what’s up… could have just carried on, but no - I too became overwhelmed in life and stopped.
Truth is, they will all be sorry now. Once I get started I don’t know when to shut up. I go on and on with useless information. Much like my silly husband. No wonder we get on so well.
OK - going to go and start the emails… be back later.

I am heading down to the church, which is 16 miles each way- yeah I know how to pick em, to get buses off fora road trip. A road trip I am not taking! I even made my husband get up to go with me - telling him it is a good chance for a bike ride… Good thing he loves his Triumph.
Well, gotta go. At least I do have a ride to look forward to.

Where in the world have I been... and what happened while I was gone???
My last post was actually in February... Good Lord!
- Let's see, since Febraury I have had two grandchildren... truth be told, two of my kids had children.
- I aged another year - had a birthday - for anyone who I have not already told... it is March 25th.
- And the big thing... I have expanded in size by the size of a village... I have my own zip code now. Don't tell anyone, they may not notice. I dress so as to give the illusion of only morbidly obese.
Yes, I let myself go - I was totally enjoying life and all the new kids that I paid no attention as the weight just increased more and more. So, now what??? Loose it!
Here's the plan.
- I will diet - joined Weight Watchers on September 11th.
- Start exercising, really working at this one. I am walking at home with videos, I am walking and dancing with my Zune (love this one), I am walking outside, I am walking with the babies in my new jogging stroller, I am jogging, I try to run but afraid of any vault lines I may run over.
- I am checking out a gym / fitness center, I joined the Martin Memorial Fit2Lose Program.... starts October 4th... keep watch for blogs about that.
- I will keep a blog / journal of the process... already started on my weight watchers blog page... I will copy some of it to put here.
The plan, put quite simply is to drop over 100 pounds. I am already down by 15 - in two and a half weeks. I had been tempted to try lapband and even talked Barrie into it - but then promised him I would give another attempt at doing it on my own. Not on my own - with incredible help. My best friend, Barrie and my beautiful daughter, Melissa.
And - I want to ride my bike again. No, not a bicycle... my scooter. Not just some little 49cc scooter... My Yamaha Majesty 400cc scooter. I miss it so much.
OK, enough for now. Back soon.

My Brain Exploded!
Explosion of something in my brain... (this may be a little bit dramatic, but it fits the emotional, if not physical) occurred on Friday, February 5, 2010 just before 11:00am.
I had one of the scariest moments of my life yesterday. At first I thought I was going blind or I had inherited my father's macular degeneration. Very quickly! Quickest onset imaginable. Within seconds I went from seeing fine (well, with the aid of contacts) to seeing floaters and blurry spots. Sort of like the what you see if you have a bright light shone in your eyes. But it got bigger.
My first thought was that it was my contact, so I removed it and put on my glasses. Nope, still there. Thinking it was my left eye, I rubbed it and realized my right saw it too. I then covered my right eye and found that it was also in my left. My next thought was this is not an eye problem, but a brain problem. I now was certain that I was having a stroke or an aneurism.
My vision continued to quickly deteriorate. It had been maybe 5 minutes so far. I was beginning to seriously panic. I left my office to speak with Ronnie, the parish receptionist and my friend... she had never heard of such a thing. I decided to call my eye doctor, as I had been speaking with the office so often lately getting my contacts straightened out. Luckily I knew the number, as I would never have been able to look it up.
When I reached the doctor's office, I was immediately put at ease by an incredible office staff and doctor. (Dr. Garfield and Dr. Bradley of Hobe Sound) It seems that I was having an Ocular Migraine / Ophthalmic Migraine. I was not going to die, or go blind. I would have to calm down and wait it out. They told me 15 to 20 minutes is all they last. They told me to come in to be checked if I felt the need or if there were any other vision problems.
Now, before I heard the word migraine, I did not have one... but upon hearing it, I noticed the pain in my head. Was the pain in my head there before and I was too panicked to notice? Was the pain a result of suggestion? I don't know, but I do know at it was the definite start to one of my migraines.
After I hung up the phone, I simply waited. No longer panicked, but still nervous as my vision was becoming more and more distorted. I was losing the ability to see clearly at all. After about 20 minutes of blurred vision, it cleared up pretty much instantly.

Just a rant...
How many zeros in a billion?
The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is
spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain... let's take a look at New Orleans. It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans.
Interesting number... what does it mean?
A. Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528.
B. Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets$1,329,787.
C. Or... if you are a family of four... your family gets $2,066,012.

Grandchildren... absent minded rambling.
Babies and more babies… is anyone getting sick and tired of hearing about my babies? How about my babies’ babies? Naw, I didn’t think so. And that being the case, here we go again.
I spent most of yesterday with Melissa, Matthew, Banee, and most importantly… Big Ben. We went shopping at the Vero Outlet Mall; looking for maternity clothes for Banee and grandbaby clothes for all of them… born and to be born. It was wonderful! A great day for me! And Matthew almost tolerated the entire thing. To ease some of his pain, I did take everyone to dinner following the day shopping. Well, everyone except Matt and Banee – he is so independent that it would apparently kill him to allow me to buy there dinner. But, he had a great time at dinner, playing with Shaun and Xzavier who joined us for the meal. Shaun knew better than to go baby shopping with a group of women. Jessie also joined us for dinner. Matthew is still a newlywed husband who wants to be an active part of each of Banee’s waking moments… that they are not working. Isn’t he cute!
While we were shopping, we found incredible deals! I do love sales. Especially clearance sales – and most especially clearance sales that say take an additional 70% off. How can you go wrong? Christmas and Halloween outfits will be coming back again! Just kidding – I was tempted, but even I did not buy for next year’s holidays. Well, truth really be told here… just between you and me… the only thing that kept me from buying outfits for a year in the future is I don’t know for sure what size any of the babies will be! Oh, and Barrie would probably kill me for spending like that.
I have mentioned before how wonderful my husband is – how much I love him – how cute he is – how understanding he has the potential for being…. but… he actually likes me to at least make an attempt at sticking to the budget we have agreed upon. We so very carefully go over our finances and pay bills together so that we both know where we stand, and then he expects me to follow whatever game plan we made.
Oh, how I digress. Not that I had a real plan when I sat down, but I do remember clearly saying this was about the grandbabies. (Isn’t everything?) On to the grandbabies…
Xzavier got his afghan last night at dinner. Poor baby has been waiting since Christmas. I kept doing little projects here and there and that one just kept being put aside for a few minutes here and there. Finally it is done and he has it.
Michael received his Nana and Michael photo album from our New Year visit. I made a small photo album just for him with pictures of us together. My plan is that if he can see us together having fun, he will remember me better for the next visit. It feels like visits are few and far between with him; probably not as bad as it seems, but his Nana wants to be with him more often. I guess as he gets older (two in March) he is going to remember me better anyway. Breaks my heart that he has to be reminded who grandma is. Once he remembers me, it is all good!
Honey Blossom. I am afraid she will be grown up and have kids of her own before I see her again. Last time we saw her was in June. She was 9 months old. Before that she was like 6 weeks old. We only head over to England every two years or so. I am thinking that it might be easier to fly them all here next time. Then maybe I could babysit all the grandbabies while all of the adult kids go out for fun. I may have a plan forming here!
Big Ben – Xzavier’s little brother, my teeny tiny little guy. OK, most recent birth… I may have mentioned every move he has made already… but, did I mention he is over 7 pounds now – has passed his due date by four days – is 8 weeks old today! I believe he almost rolling over – trying to hold his head up – grabs at things with his cute little hands – follows objects (and grandmas) with his eyes – and, most important… he loves his grandma! Loves to cuddle with her and spend time with her.
Well then – time for me to stop for now. Until next time!

Global Warming in My Own Little World.
January 14, 2010
I know it has been a while since I last wrote, and I am so very sorry... but... I was cold.
No, not just cold... I was literally frozen. I know what you must be thinking, people do not just freeze and then defrost and still function. Well, apparently some of us do! Here’s what happened.
As everyone knows, it has been cold. The temps here in South Florida have been sticking pretty much to the 30’s. One morning it was in the low 20’s when I left for work. And that does not even count the wind chill factor. Now, keeping that in mind, my car has not been working and I have been riding my bike to and from work. For anyone who does not know, I live 16 miles from work. On the morning that it was in the 20’s when I went to work, I had ice forming on my visor. So… quite simply, my brain froze. I had a difficult time working, much less thinking at home too. You can ask my husband or children – there was no real thought process going on here for at least a week. I was a non-functioning cerebral mess. Example; when making a list of who is who in the family, I left off one of my children. Who forgets a kid?!?!?!?!
I am much better now. This morning was in the 50’s and I awoke with the ability for thought. This will be a catch up blog.
From the photo’s in shutterfly (bazandmary.shutterfly.com) you can see that we had an awesome Christmas and New Year. OK, most everyone got sick for Christmas, but New Years was completely awesome. Not counting the freezing thing that was going on in North Florida. Barrie and I had gone up to visit MJ and his family. Freezing aside, we had a ball. Actually, this may have been the start of my brain freeze as we had no heat in the car. The trip home was soooo cold! We had even tried to go to a huge flea market while the weather was in the teens…. What were we thinking?
Brittney went to a New Year’s concert in Miami. She saw Lady Gaga. By the way, this beautiful and sweet girl who is growing up way to fast… she is the baby I forgot. I am so devastated. She is fine. She laughed about it. I cried; and the more she tried to make me feel alright about it, the worse I felt.
Aunt Ollie is visiting with us for a while. We are thrilled to have her – keeps mom out of trouble! Or maybe… they are in more trouble, but the two of them work better at covering it up. Maybe we should watch them more.
MJ and Myrahia… Matt and Banee… both working hard at growing babies… MJ and Myrahia are due in March, two days before Michael’s birthday. Matt and Banee are expecting in July. Oh, tis good to be a grandparent!
Melissa and Shaun are doing their own baby growing with little Benjamin. He is now over 7 pounds. Xzavier is doing wonderful also. I was up at their house the other day and showed him the afghan I am making him and he is very happy with it. He is such a loving grandson. He makes me so proud and happy to make him a special gift from his grandma.
I don’t think I mentioned, Matthew has today off work and is fixing my car. He is such a good son; taking care of my problems. He is an incredible mechanic. He is one of the top mechanics for this region with Firestone. I am not just a bragging mom… Firestone told us that he was the second best tech out of hundreds in this region. He is the head tech at the Stuart branch. We are so proud of him.
Speaking of work – my break is over and I need to get back to it.
God bless you all…. Love ya, Mary

Baby Pearce, due date July 15, 2010
And today! The first picture of my youngest (to date) grandchild! He or She is due 07/15/2010.
Please meet either Elliott Elizabeth Pearce or Mason Kohl Pearce. Don't know which name is going to be used yet.
Matthew and Banee had their first ultrasound test done... It is a beautiful baby! I believe a girl, because I had a dream that I would one day have a granddaughter... and MJ and Myrahia's next is a boy... so obviously this is a girl. Besides, I bought pink moccasins and somebody has to wear them! They are planning on keeping the sex of the baby secret until the birth. Like grandma wont kow!Quick Time Line... to catch everyone up...
Monday, November 23, 2009 - Big Ben is Born! At 32 weeks, that is 7 months to us old timers. He weighed in at a whooping 3lbs and 8oz. Totally gorgeous... perfect in every single way... ahhh... another living breathing miracle. Will have more blogs dedicated directly to him posted very soon.
Thanksgiving, November 26, 2009 - Melissa is let out of the hospital in time for Thanksgiving Dinner. Big Ben is still in the NICU.
Friday, December 11, 2009 - Big Ben is released from the Hospital.
Christmas, December 25, 2009 - Family Christmas at Mom and Dad's house. With the exception of Barrie, Melissa, Benjamin, and Brittney.... we are become sick. Terribly, horribly, deathly sick. For most of us it lasts 24 hours... for Mom, Dad, and me... 4 days.
New Years... Barrie and I went to Cross City to spend the weekend with MJ, Myrahia, and MP3! He is so incredible! He is perfect. He is so much fun. He is so full of love and joy. My heart just burst to be around him and crumbled when we left to go home. He is the most wonderful 2 year old on earth - or will be in March.
I love my children and grandchildren soooooo much. More to be blogged about each of them soon.
