Land of Osbourne

Back in 2005, I started watching television show, Bones.  I've been a fan ever since.  I've cultivated numerous online relationships which stemmed from the common love of the show, the characters, the story lines, all of it. I've even written some fan fiction under my pen name riviera41797 - although nothing recently.  Every year as television show renewal and cancellations came up, Bones fans of the world waited, hoping for another year of Bones, and for 11 years, we were lucky.  12 seasons of Bones, its been such a constant in my life. Television shows come and go, but Bones was always one I could count on as the new seasons began with shows that may or may not make it. I always knew, one day of the week, I had my favorite show, Bones. Didn't matter to me if it was on a Monday or a Friday. I was going to watch it, and my husband, friends and family knew not to bother me during Bones. Bones has been my favorite show for the last 11 years, and wi...

Hi All! Since March of 2011, I've been driving my little silver Ford Focus SE, whom I named Freddy. Freddy has over 200,000 miles and still runs great. Its a little rough around the edges, but I own it. I have 2 payments left on the Harley Davidson I bought for John, and knew we'd be needing something with lower miles, so that we don't run Freddy into the ground and be left with nothing. John has been on the look out for a replacement for me, and found a 2013 Ford Focus SE, with 23,000 miles on it (wow! practically new!). I LOVE IT. It has tons of bells and whistles, is an automatic transmission, air conditioning, even has a USB. Very nice. Its black, which gives me the excuse to wash it as often as I want. Clean black cars look awesome. Named my new car: Frank. Welcome to the Osbourne family Frank!

​Greetings and Salutations!  It seems like a good time to do an Osbourne Family Update.  Lets start with John, aka King of the Husbands. He is doing great. His job is going well, he is busy and seems to have really found his niche and is thriving at his job. Although he does work 1/2 day every Saturday, it all works well, that gives me time to get my Saturday morning housework done, so when he finally does get home, we can enjoy our weekend together. I'm so proud of him! Ozzy - my sweet little Boston Terrier who I love to pieces and spoil at every opportunity is doing good too. Recently, Jeanette, my mother in law moved out after getting married, so he does miss her. But she comes over and checks on him several times a day. She only lives like 3 miles from us, so its not a long drive, and Ozzy loves his Grandma Jeanette. :) Birdie update - I have 9 Zebra Finches, 2 Shaft Tail Finches, and 1 lonely female Gouldian Finch. Birdies all doing well. Every other week...

He looks so irritated, "enough with the camera!"

​Hello Land of Osbourne readers,  I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness that is the love of my life, my soulmate, my kindred spirit, my very best friend, my husband, John.  What prompted me to do this? This morning, I texted him to see if he wanted to meet me for coffee at lunch. (I work 3 miles away from him, I can pick whatever time I go to lunch). There is a coffee shop across the road from Aaron Carlson where he works called: Diamonds. He texted me back the following: "Ok, I can't wait. I love you so much".  This.  Amazing right? Been with this guy since I was 19 years old. our 19th wedding anniversary is quickly approaching. I ask him to have coffee, he says  he can't wait. We ride share. We're together almost all the time, yet he still gets excited to see me.  That, my friends, is true love.  Being married to me, I'd imagine is difficult. (though you'd never know it from his perspective) . I have a...

In peace may you leave this shore, In love you may find the next, Safe passage in your travels, Until your final journey on the ground, May we meet again.

I hope you are having a great time in Heaven. I love you and miss you every day.

It's a short walk down the aisle  To a life filled with laughter A short walk down the aisle  To a "happy ever after"   It's a short walk down the aisle  To those long years together  A short walk down the aisle  To a lifetime of forever   Two little words softly spoken  Starts your life anew  It's a short walk down the aisle  Till you have to say "I do"  It's a short walk down the aisle To a life filled with laughter  A short walk down the aisle  To a "happy ever after"

Everyone feels things differently. Everyone processes events, situations, and interactions in their own unique way.  Just because you don't think that you would react if you were in the same or similar situation doesn't make how I react or feel any less wrong or more right.  I am at a place in my life right now, where I am rebuilding my self from the inside that was so shattered by loved ones. I no longer have room for negativity or narcissism or anyone with less than honorable intentions.  I'm also done looking backwards and am trying to concentrate on looking forward. I'm so very happy, content, and blessed to be where I am in my life. Of course there are some things that I wish were different or wish I could change, but that's life isn't it? Thanks for reading. ❤️

Greetings Land of Osbourne readers!  I realize its been a while since I did a real live update, not a meme, or uplifting words. So here we go.  Lets start with my (step)son Johnathan. He moved with his Mom to a teeny town in Wisconsin and with no promising employment options, he decided to enlist in the United States Army. So proud! I spoke to him recently, he is about 2 weeks away from leaving for basic training. Way to go kiddo!   Had a wonderful Christmas and birthday. Low key, quiet, just the way I like it. John likes to try and get me every single thing on my "list", so this year, he did the same. Spoiled? Me? (wink) I recently sprained my left ankle. John and I had just gotten home from doing the grocery shopping, and he had said that he'd take the garbage out after we were done putting stuff away. Me, trying (in vain, it seems) to be helpful, decided to take the garbage out while he worked on putting stuff away. As I went down the front staircase a...
