Good morning to you all! Bummer, but I have to go back one more time in 3 months. He wants to make sure I don't develop a hernia. He said if everything is a-ok then he will "cut me loose." He doesn't see any problems though. I think I talked to him, 3 minutes tops.
Kelly came over last night with the fund raising stuff. They really stick it to the parents for the kids to win their little trip. They have to sell at least 14 items of the cookie dough/candles and sell at least 10 entertainment books to qualify for the limo ride and the party. Kelly went and bought 20 books and is hawking them and I bought tons of stuff. I bought one of the books, then a candle and sachet to save for my dil's birthday next year and then a tub of choco chip cookie dough, one of oatmeal raisin, a thing of brownies and a thing of cream cheese rolls. I am probably going to make cookies and send to Jack's work to get rid of them and make the rest of the stuff for the holidays when the kids are all here. I am a good Nonny! lol His other grandma bought one thing of cookie nubs and she is skinny! lol
The second hat is going to be really cute and my dd adores the first one and says Emma will love them as she is very girly. I sure hope so! I am glad though that it started me knitting again. I think I may make the whole family matching stocking caps for Christmas and put in their stockings. That ought to get a laugh. Maybe candy stripes or something.
Jay called here last night while Kelly was here and they were ribbing the heck out of their dad. Jack is very conservative political wise and Kelly is basically a socialist and Jay is a fence sitting. I guess Alicia gets mad at Jay for he and Kelly jabbing at Jack about his politics. Jack takes it all in good fun these days and gives back what he gets. They were giving me a hard time because I got my shoes and makeup while Kelly was here and the makeup came in a box I swear you could bury a labrador in. She teased me about getting makeup at HSN and Jay was saying Alicia orders 10 pairs of shoes from QVC, gets them, doesn't like 7 pairs of them,sends them back then calls QVC and reads them the riot act for not sending her shoes she likes! lol Hey, at least I just say they look stupid on the comments line! lol
Jean: Ok, I am running out of places to look. Could you have left them at school the last day and they are in the office or something? I am thinking like Jack thinks because he will lay things down so I am trying to think where he would put stuff. I did get me license renewed yesterday and Kelly was amazed at the difference in the pic of my Navy Id, which I got April of last year and my driver's license yesterday. I am a good 30 lbs thinner. My picture came out nice actually, but Kelly said, "You look old!" I said, "Well, I AM old!" I told her that was what my miracle makeup and face stuff is for!
Maggie: The license bureau is a stupid set up and they only have 3 dmvs for license in this whole city. The building is way small and this rent a cop lets three people in at a time, period. So if it is raining you get soaked! You have to check in at a front desk and he organizes you and gives you a number ticket according to what you are having done. I was #A005 so didn't wait too long as they had 3 people working line "A." There was this lovely elderly black lady, probably late 70's, and she was getting an ID and she had never had one or a car or driver's license in her life. Her son brought her in.
Gail: We have rotten dental insurance, no pun intended. Jack had to have a tooth extracted by an oral surgeon and our part cost us over $300! I think the insurance paid like $60. Tom is going out of town this week so Kelly invited us to come over this weekend and play Wii and go swimming with Thomas. I am astounded and pleased as punch so we will go over there sometime this weekend. I do miss him so much, but I am glad the time I do get to spend with him.
Susan: Hope you got some of our rain. I am tired of the stuff. It makes it so sticky here. I ran all over town trying to find tapestry needles to do my "knitting" sewing and ended up ordering online. I want big eyes with blunt instead of pointed ends. I used to be able to buy them everywhere, but Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Target, Walmart, nor Hancock Fabric had them. I ended up, after searching for a good half hour, finally finding them at the yarn shop I go to in Indiana that happens to have a website. They had 2 for .99 so I bought 5 packages! lol I lose them easily, usually in the couch or recliner.
I need to go. I am making bbq tonight and am making my own sauce. It is about finished cooking so now my whole house smells like the bbq joint across the street!
Have a good hump day!
