Daddy's Hands

For my father, Fred Howland White II, 4/13/44 - 9/25/10. Willie Nelson was one of his favorite artists. This song is for him.




And this one is from me for him. I love you Daddy,

I can't write this again......

Copied from my FB page for anyone who has not seen it:

Tracy White DeLuca Dad is still hanging on. He will be transferred to a convalescent home soon as there is nothing the hospital can do for him at this point. He does not seem to be in pain so that is a blessing. DNR orders have been signed and now it is just waiting and thinking and praying.

I may be missing in action or only here off and on even though I am doing my 30 day challenge. It will just take me longer to work through it. I promise to write more about my father at a later time. I just can't wrap my head around it for more than a few sentences right now.

30 Day Challenge: Day 2 A Favorite Movie

hahahahahahahahahahaha

ahem....

A favorite anything is going to be difficult for me! So, here is a bit of a list of some of my fave movies and why....

Numero Uno...

The Boondock Saints. Great movie, great music. Action packed and with an interesting message. And the boys are just so HAWT!





Next would be The Princess Bride. Who doesn't love that movie?? "My name is Inigo Montoya. You keeled my Father. Prepare to Die!"



Thirdly, Practical Magic. Love story, revenge, drama and heartbreak, magic and mayhem... what more do you need???



Finally, and just because I am out of time to post tonight.... V for Vendetta. Politics, freedom fighters, vengeance, explosions, emotions, heart wrenching drama and death scenes, a man in a mask and Natalie Portman. I cry, I laugh, I get angry and I sit on the edge of my seat every time I see this movie, even though I have seen it more times than I can count. ALL of the scenes I wanted to post are disabled for embedding on youtube. All I can say is that if you have not watched it.... go watch it. Seriously.

I guess I really love big dramatic movies! I also love Disney movies and stupid sophomoric humor type movies.....

30 Day Challenge: Day 1 A Favorite Song

Felicia from over at Living Just Like Grandma came up with this fabulous idea.... a 30 day blog challenge. This is being hosted by a group she is part of on CafeMom. The basic premise is to post every day on a particular subject. Since I really need to get back into the swing of things as far as blogging is concerned, I decided to jump on board. While Felicia and the others have been doing thsi since September 1st, I am just starting with Day 1 and going from there. I may post each day or I may post randomly intermixed with my regular updates on me and the kids. We'll see!

The day one challenge is to write about our favorite song.

I don't have one. LOL I love too many songs to pick just one. So, here are a few of my faves:





I figured you out by Nickelback
I don't know. It brings back memories. Aren't so many songs linked to memory for most of us?



Survive by Lacuna Coil
Just totally love it. Lacuna Coil is an awesome band anyway but this song rocks hard. And it is a song that I listen to when I am really feeling overwhelmed. Makes me ready to kick ass and take names!




Exactly by Amy Steinberg. Listen to the lyrics. They give me peace.



32 Flavors by Ani DiFranco. My theme song!

And finally.........

Anything by Opeth. But here is one of my favorite melodic songs. I love the heavier metal side of them as well but their melodic stuff is just awesome.

Pictures!!

I hate blogger sometimes. These pictures are all wonky ordered but oh well..... Here are some pictures! Yay!!!!

One of my favorite pictures of Miss Jenna from this Summer. She was a counselor in training at Camp Crystal in Florida. She had a blast and matured so much... it was awesome. I missed her bunches, though. Now she is a SENIOR!!!! OMG I will be posting about her college search and stuff soon.

Braeden helping Jenna and Daddy put a rub on a brisket. He is wearing rubber gloves about 10 times too big but really dug the whole thing.

Jenna and Braeden getting ready to "rub meat".... LOL

Daddy trying to get the gloves on Braeden.

Braeden in his classroom at school. What a big boy!!!! He loves school and loves his teacher. We are having some issues.... but that is a whole other post....

Malachai asked his sister to cut his hair. So she did. *facepalm* But really, for a mullet it's not too bad! At least it is out of his eyes. And not too too crooked!!! LOL

Braeden. Oh, Braeden. That ponytail certainly becomes you! And I wonder why people call him a girl? LMAO
