Good morning everyone! Hope you all are not drowning like we are again, but it looked to be a real gully washer in a larger section north to south so I imagine you all have gotten it in one way or another. I am so very sick of rain. I want some beautiful sunshine. It is the one day I wish it were cool though. I have the cutest Halloween long sleeved top I want to wear today and I am afraid I will cook. It has to be in the 70's here this morning or close to it.
I have errands to run, my nails, pick up Walmart stuff I can't get at the commissary, drop of a box to go back to the knitting store to exchange, and clinic duty. I don't think they have anyone for today at all so I may just be a nice gal and go in after I am done with everything. I will just pick myself up a sandwich and some fruit at Walmarts and a diet soda and then I can eat whenever. I think I am going to take some candy to the school today and give a ziploc bag of it to Thomas to share with his class. I have a ton of those dumdum suckers and several unopened packages of premium licorice I bought in flavors on HSN. I am sure the kids won't turn it down and since it is lunchtime they can have it with their lunches.
Jean: Jay can sell ice to eskimos. He is truly amazing. His first sales job was several years ago selling hot tubs and then he went to work for the company he works for now selling big huge manufacturing machinery. This job entails selling tv advertising. The thing with Jay is thank goodness something stuck from his raising, he is dead honest and fair. If he quotes you a price, you can be sure it is the best price he can get you and then he always keeps up with you, you know service after the sale kind of thing. His customers love him and some of them have actually become friends. He is very personable without the "car salesman" schmooz. I bet he could be one heck of a Vegas casino host!
Susan: I had Earl Grey for the first time a few weeks ago when we went out to dinner with the kids and my stomach was queasy. It is sure a different taste from your normal Lipton isn't it!
I have never seen Lady Grey what is it like? I haven't ever drank green tea. We are going out to eat tonight, but I told Jack it must be to somewhere I can stay within my points. He is stuck around 211 so I imagine that is what is good for him so he is where he should be. If he decides once in awhile to have dessert or whatever when we eat out, he can, but it is disaster for me. I rarely eat dessert and if I do, I share some with Jack. I think we are going to go to Ruby Tuesdays so I can have salad bar and the mashed cauliflower tonight.
Maggie: I am still having queasy stomach, but at least I know I am not pregnant!
How awful that would be. My children would die of shame probably!
I can't imagine us carting around a baby at our age. I know I am sick and tired of being sick and tired as they say. I have a dr appt the 12th and I am going to get to the bottom of why I am not sleeping, this female stuff, and all of it. I think the queasiness may be just lack of sleep. I never sleep anymore properly anyway.
I have about 1/3 of one side of the sweater done and I absolutely love how the pattern looks. Though lacy, it isn't seethrough so I think it will be nice and cool for summer vacations. I made it is a size 18 or so as I won't be down to goal next summer yet.
Well, I am going to go. I need to eat and get showered and do my morning chores than head out in a couple hours and get stuff done. Have a wonderful weekend. For us, it is commissary weekend, UGH! We need groceries though so I have to go.
