Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I had an extremely busy day.
Got my tires at the tire department at Costco. I am not *even* going to tell you how much they were.. it was horrifying!!
While the tires were being put on, I had time to walk to nearby mall and shop. I got a bunch of small Christmas cookie tins for 50 cents each, two huge tins for 1.50 each, a neat snowman tray for 3.50 and a couple of kitty cat ornaments for 1.25. I also got myself a salad spinner, a food scale as well as a new blender ( Had a 20% of coupon that I wanted to use). The blender is a Cuisinart. I would have liked to have gotten a KitchenAid, but they were 40.00 more, so this one seems to work just fine.. tried it this morning on a iced mocha frappe.
Did a run to Trader Joe's and then home.. whole wingding took 5 hours!!! Then I came home to call my mother to thank her for the blender ( She had sent me a check for Christmas and I had 40.00 left over) That call turned into a guilt manipulation on her part and left me feeling like I can't do anything right around her.
Anyway, that's my whine for the day....
Lizzy , I am sure you will do fine today. First day doing something new is always stressful.. and it is a mixture of trepidation as well as excitement. Don't forget to breathe and you will be just fine.
Tip, isn't it funny ( strange) how some people age better than others? Miracle of genetics at work..
Cathy, sorry you aren't feeling well. There is this bug boing around here that is sore throat stuffy head coughing thing.. it generally leaves totally in about two weeks... hang in there.
Kem I agree with Leens. It is far more important to spend time with a kid than have a clean house. My mother was a clean freak.. and a lot of my memories of chilhood are of her cleaning or yelling at me to clean. I wish I had more fun memories.
Leens, sorry you aren't feeling well either. Yes, I do want to learn sign language. I figure when I am older, my hearing is only going to get worse so I am may need it. Even if I don't, I think it would be a good thing to learn. Since I am only partially impaired, I have such respect for those that are completely deaf.. what a challenge their lives must be at times. I have a hard enough time as it is now.
Well, I had better get to the business of the day...have a nice Friday everyone.
