OMG! It's............

OLGA!!!! yep that lacy black BRAwd is here and she's all up in my face with fun! She has a thing for nipples (like we didn't already know that-right) If you wanna read all about her adventures here in Sugar-land read her blog here..... Olga The Traveling Bra.... I promise you will enjoy her adventure here...OK so back to adventuring Olga style!

Look my loving readers, (if there still are any readers) I know I have let this poor Sugar Shack run down, I'm sorry! My health has really went south this year and I had hoped things would get better and I would start blogging about it, but then I thought : I am not going to turn this sweet place into a boo hoo pit so when I feel good and I'm up to it I WILL write!
As for right now if you want follow me on face book- look for Judy Bromer!
Sugar Sugars!

Sugar Cubes....

Well the house is slowly coming alive again. I have Miss B right now so it has stopped for the moment, but will resume as soon as she goes home today.
It seems, we here in the south, are suffering a cold front from the north and let me tell you my bits are freezing! I awoke this morning to freezing temps! Yes I'm cold! After all those months of bitching about being hot, I am now freezing ma patudy off! For some reason, your thyroid controls the A/C- Heater in your home and you (I) can never feel just right.... Hmmmm
I had a Doctors Appointment yesterday and she says I now have to endure nerve conduction tests on my lower half, wonder if it's changed in the long years since I've had that done, doubt it. Can we say painful and shocking! She thinks it may be a combination of my discs and a Sugar Diabetes leg condition, Well I told her I had to leave my job and she said that made since, but that claiming Social Security disability would be long and suffering at the very least, but that it would happen, maybe years from now.... I'm ready, I'm ready, as Sponge Bob says......
Oh well, if nothing else I just will have to cut back on some of the things I enjoy that are not a necessity, It's all good.....

I seem to have become a Blogger's wasteland, I will have to work on that. There are still people that come to visit and they are for sure the people I enjoyed reading and laughing with anyways.
I'm just saying, LOL.
I now have to decline some comments as they are for sure spam, I never had that problem before, shows you what going away for a rest can do for you LOL LOL!


I found some more entertainment photos while writing this not so important post, Thought maybe some would get at least a smile at our families expense....



My BEAUTIFUL Daughter....

BEC playing with the toy Santa brought him.

My son Will , Little did he know he would need this LOL

My Husband, what can I say there's one in every crowd LOL

Metal head, But I love him!

She really looks into it, LOL

My other BEAUTIFUL Daughter, Erin

That's all folks!

Life is like a box of Chocolates....

Wow just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, life happened.

I had to rush Georg to the hospital at 2AM Wednesday, He was in severe pain. After 2 days in the hospital they found out he has 2 herniated Disc's in his back which are both leaking fluid. I can't tell you how sorry I am for him that he has to deal with this, But, How glad I am that it wasn't something worse! Georg of course worries about things like money and his job. I worry about his health and his life.

I guess I could get him this wheel chair LOL....

Really with some therapy and some drugs things WILL work out!

With a little help and some tape, I whipped my computer back into shape! I really bought a new Windows XP disc and since I am a total dumb ass, I now have a issue with 2 instances of windows, one works and one does not, I'm sure with time I will figure out how to rid myself of the other copy since it is eating all my memory... If you know of a fix please help!

I am always thinking of other Bloggers when I write my post for the day and since 2 of my Favorite men ARE Bloggers, I give you 2 pictures that made me think of them....

Daddy Paper surfer loves Goddesses and they love him, so I think he will see here that they come in all shapes and sizes and ummm even species! I give you and him, of course:

The Tree Goddess.....

Next is John C. : Did you say you had a tree on your Van?

How bout a person that does it on purpose!

Life isn't always sweet, but there's always a little sugar....

An update on, well ... me

If you've been reading my Blog you know that I have been having some health issues. I went to the Doctor and she had some tests done, I have high cholesterol [glad I love oatmeal], high blood sugar, high blood pressure and my thyroid isn't working correctly [I tried to tell them this, because I have the symptoms of thyroid problems, but she wouldn't listen!] I had to go back yesterday and let the Vampires draw more blood tests on it, the bitch and I mean *bitch* couldn't find my vein so she thought she would dig around in my arm, trust me I am not gentle when they do this, so I told her if she couldn't do it without hurting me, find someone else because I am about to go the *f word off on you!. I had a brain scan a week ago and have a appointment with a eye specialist Tuesday. I also have been having some leg cramps that I assure you, you wouldn't want! I am falling apart after just 49 short years and I am scared, scared that I wont be around to watch my beautiful Grand Daughter Bella grow up, scared I will die a painful and miserable death, scared I wont be able to do all the things I still have left to do. I have never once left this country and I have just started getting my passport done, well as soon as Flint Michigan will send my certified birth record to me!. I always thought that I would be healthy except for the smoking and the sugar... I was wrong, I have C O P D, with a little of all the different problems. I have to quit smoking, quit eating sugar, fat and well just about every thing I have ate for the past 49 years!
This is going to be hard to do and in the words of *Ming Ming* on wonder pets [ a kids show I watch with Bella] "This is serious!"


There has been a struggle blending back as a family structure here between me and Georg, I like the way I do things and he likes the way he does things.... It's hard for 2 strong minded people to be the leader with a follower, when both want the other to follow.... We will work it out just in time for him to go to the Dominican Republic, I'm sure!

We went to Saint Augustine yesterday. Some of the pictures I took, Some not. Some are from a trip there a few years ago, things don't change there much, I just forgot my camera.

Georg always takes a good picture, I, on the other hand look 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide! LOL


The Grist mill, What is a grist mill? : It's a mill that grinds grain.

We finally went into the oldest wooden school house in America and even got a diploma! Ha Ha!

This is the neatest old drug store! I love snooping around in it!
The Light house at Saint Augustine, Florida
Fort Matanzas



Look how worn the stairs are, this is from people using them.
Cannon at the fort.The old fort at Saint Augustine!
The trolley at the Fountain of Youth.
Mission of Nombre De Dios

If there's one thing I love, it's old churches, I don't care what denomination they are I just love them!Cathedral Basilica


Flagler Memorial Church.

Old Church again

Stained glass windows


Altar at church.

Another Altar.

OK so you have traveled to Lovely old Saint Augustine with me, I hope you enjoyed looking at the fun we had. It was hot as hell yesterday but we had lots of fun.

Remember what I say:
Come on now Feel them!

I always have fun telling you about my life, I know for some it's not important, but for me it's life changing. So until next time:
Everyone NEEDS a little Sugar!

It ain't all about the Cookin'!

No, we don't keep our kids in a cage down south, Sometimes they just land there purely by their own devices!! [Miss B has been trying to get into this cage since she learned to crawl, I forgot to latch it and off she ran and into the cage she landed!]
Tell me this isn't cute and I'll know you don't have little Children in your life!


Some of you know me as the down home girl who struggles inside with life's many issues and some of you know me as the funny girl who always seems to land on top, and even more of you know me as the Sugar Queen, the girl who tries more often than not, to spread love and sugar throughout the Blogging world, I'm somewhere close to the middle most days and that can sometime make me seem nuts. I have had some health issues lately that are taking me down a notch or 2 and sometimes I don't get into visit as much as I'd like to. So don't worry, It isn't you or me it's life!
Since My Cousin died so tragically of lung Cancer[ by the time she passed she had cancer everywhere just about] last week, I have been doing allot of soul searching lately and come up with some answers, Of course I will reveal them to you as time permits!
I have been worrying about my own demise, and of course there is my health, Georg being away from home and now the possibility that he will be going away to Dominican Republic, for gosh knows how long, let me tell you, all that takes a lot of time and energy, worrying..... Why, I'm tired just from thinking!
I went for a Blood Pressure check this morning, it was 140/64, of course when I checked it just 45 minutes later at Wal-Mart it was 156/96 again.... I don't fully understand that....

So on to funner things~~


One of the things I've been doing a lot of is reading, I used to read a book every 2 days when I was young and it took me places I had only dreamed of, I guess that's how it's s'pose to be really.
One of the many books I've dove into lately is "It ain't all about the cookin' " By that wonderful Southern Bell, Paula Deen. I must admit that before I read this book, I had grown tired of her growing southern twang and her shameful addiction to butter and her mispronounced words, it seemed to much of an act to me, but then who am I to judge. Well all that was until I read her book....
What a fighter she turns out to be and an awesomely real person! the first page she admits to her readers that she smokes and that shes tried to quit and failed, so much like the rest of us non quitters! She also admits that she uses not so lady like language, Ha! Just like me~~ And the best part is she doesn't apologise or make excuses, shes real and she hopes y'all will accept her just as she is, of course if y'all can't well then in the famous words of Flo on the old television sitcom "Y'all can kiss my grits"
She suffered from agoraphobia, fear of going outside, driving, death, etc. I have a friend who suffers from this and I swear to you, I really blew it off as something not very serious at all. I was so wrong and when I read Ms. Paula Deen's description of it, I finally understood what my Friend felt like! It's pretty bad when you have to read a book by a pretty famous person to understand something about a friend you've had for 9 years! I feel pretty bad about that.....
Any way I have a new found respect for Paula Deen and I really loved her book! Her life is a really amazing story.

I'm learning that just as Paula Deen says....
"It ain't all about the cookin, sometimes it's all about the sugar......."

Holy cow Batman, She's alive!

Yes, It's true, I am alive! I'm sorry I haven't been writing and fueling you all, I had Jury Duty Monday and then the rest of the week somehow was gone right before my eyes.... Remember when I said my Oldest Daughter, Queen Jr., was moving back home? Well that never happened and even though I miss her, I am happy She and her long time Boy Friend are trying had to make it work, I wish them love, happiness and lots of snuggles....
Well as far as the rest of my brood, Jessica and Robert rented a place, They moved out day before yesterday. While I miss Jessica and Bella, I am happy to have my household number shrink by 3.
With them moving it means we can start having steak again, we don't have to be quiet after 8 PM and we don't have to wait for the washing machine to be empty to wash our laundry. It also means that "the Boy in the spare room" gets to have all the attention to himself most of the time. Speaking of him, he was rushed to the hospital 3 days ago because he knelled down at work and a barnacle punctured his knee cap. They dug around and got all the barnacle out of it. He then found out he was hyper sensitive to the sun due to the antibiotics they gave him, so now not only does he limp, but has a really bad sun burn. Steroids and a shot in the ass for the allergy's and hes whining quite comfortably at work again.... Only William, although I was really glad they said he had a reaction because Georg might have thought he was dragging this latest injury out...... (trust me it wouldn't surprise me) I woke up this morning sick, my chest is tight and it hurts to cough so I'm drinking lots of fluids and taking it easy for the next few days.... I just wanted to let you all know I'm alive and I'll get well soon so that I can get back to my favorite pass time, Blogging!
Hugs and as usual :
Everyone needs a little Sugar!

He ain't heavy, he's my Brother.....

The best times of all with my Family, were spent talking to my Brother David, He's been clean now almost 2 years.....
He told me of a time when he was still new in recovery and how he got up early one morning to questions to himself if he was doing the right thing and if he could make it in recovery and if the steps he was taking were the right ones.
He said he got up at 6 in the morning one day, a very rare happening for him, he made his coffee and opened the blinds, all of this was new to him, as an addict he never saw daylight much less dawn. He went out on his back porch, the sun was just coming through the trees the light was brilliant. he stood there with so much racing around in his head. He was new to the sounds and sights of morning and he had many questions. He started taking to God, He was asking for proof that this was the right thing,for strength for understanding and for answers. At that very second he witnessed the incredible sun beaming through the trees in the most brilliant light show he had ever witnessed, he knew at that very moment, God was showing him his light and telling him that he was in the right place at the right time. He's never looked back he says and has been in Narcotics Anonymous ever since. He has the best outlook on life and I am so proud of his accomplishments. If you say that to him he becomes embarrassed, he says He never likes the words people use towards him for something he should have done years ago. David is bright and has so much to offer to others in the same place he once had been. For the first time in 20 years I actually enjoyed being around him. I didn't have to hide my purse, I didn't have to count my pills I knew and know he is better.
After returning home I have this wonderful feeling of amazement that my Brother is OK and life is good for him. He is finally the beautiful spirit we once knew......

It's a new day Baby .......

Friend
A friend is a person
to laugh and cry with,
An inspiration,
Someone who lends a helping hand,
though friends may not be forever,
And they may not end up together,
the memories of a true friendship will
last forever.
A friend is not a shadow nor a servant
But someone who hold
a piece of a person in his heart.
Someone who shares a smile,
Someone who brightens up your day
What makes a person a friend?
Is by saying your Love will stay.

by: Renee Donna Bufete

OK, I know that yesterday I came off as a man eater.... Well I would like to say I'm sorry guys, I do love men, who else would take my trash out....
Really I adore you guys.....
I adore my Darling Husband, BUT at times, I just get sick of the things that makes him human.... I guess they make me human too, so I should try and be a better person by accepting his ways....
OK, now that thats out of the way and I sure hope I didn't lose readers because I jumped off the deep end, I'll start a new day with YOU, My sweet and wonderful readers that somehow think I'm this wonderful person who always gushes with sugary sweet thoughts. For the most, I am...

Earlier this week something happened to re-adjust the way I think, when It comes to others feelings. I neglected one of my friends, It was an honest mistake, but still it happened. I didn't realize my responsibilities in this friendship. I would like to say that as friends we have a deeper responsibility than just calling someone a friend, You owe it to that person to cheer them on when they are down, you have to make them smile when they frown, you have to leave a friggin comment when they hand you an award or award[s]. You have to look past the surface and dig deeper to see if your friend needs special attention, I didn't do that and I jeopardized our relationship. I'm sorry for that, I woulds never stumble a friend like that on purpose. As friends we should Always look to our friends and see if they need us. I personally would never want to hurt anyone, especially a person I consider a dear friend. Jackie, I'm sorry ..... Now on to other things before I break out in hives again....
Jackie gave me some awards last week, a couple I have been given but hell we can always use more awards, right? and some I haven't received...


Jackie, Thank you for all of these awards, I love them! I will at some other time pass them along....
I would like to pass this award to Jackie, I want her to know that no matter what, I AM always thinking of her even when I'm not right there.....
OK, so this will NOT be my only post today..... So I'll see ya soon my Peeps!
