Morning girls!
Jean: B is becoming pretty defiant. I have half drowned him with a water bottle and he intentionally goes back and looks right at me to see what I am going to do. It is an ongoing thing. He has climbed the trunk but mostly chews on the tree and the garland and knocks off ornaments. Because it is an artificial tree he has also rearranged it so it now has gaping holes so I have to go back and fix it. It is ok right now, but you never know what you will find each morning.
I decided to stay in today and do weights. I can only do them for about 10 minutes but thought I would try and do them three times today. I use 5 lb weights and toning cords too and a couple squating exercises, but have to be real careful because of knee.
I get to finish up Christmas stuff next week then I am through, yipee. I hate to wrap presents so much, I can't even tell you. I think because to me it is busy work and that has always irritated me. I have to wait until dd can go with me to help me pick out games for T's video system we are getting him. They have vacillated between yes and no, mainly because Kel doesn't want Thomas to have a tv in his room, but his other grandparents bought him a flat screen tv for his room! Cost them about $800 have you ever heard such a stupid thing for a 4 year old? I know he is the only grandchild and they seem to have money to burn but he has a tv downstairs apart from the living room one that is perfectly fine and about 20 inches or so and why not a plain ole tv? Besides, they constantly go behind her back and buy things she tells everyone she doesn't want him to have and then her dh doesn't support her when his parents go ahead and get the stuff anyway. Oh well, not my problem.
Someone must be burning in their fireplace. There is this peculiar odor sitting here in the computer room and no where else in the house. It smells, God help me, like someone bbqing human flesh. It is that disgusting sweet sour smell. I need to go and see if I can smell it outside. Hope it doesn't permeate the whole house. You never know around here...
Oh, one last thing. This old lady got hit on (not hit physically, like flirt kind of thing) the other day. I stopped at a convenience store after having gone to our bank across town and went in to get a couple Powerball tickets. There was a guy about 33 not much older than that, who had a middle eastern accent (more Arabic less Indian like) He wasn't bad looking but not someone if I was young and single I would think about hooking up with. Anyway, told him I wanted 5 tickets and he told me to go to the other window, which I did. I stood and stood while he waited on other customers then he came to the window and ask if I wanted powerplay. Had no clue so he told me if I did it would be $10 and I smiled and said, no that the regular would be ok. He chuckled and I said, I thought quite clearly, I didn't know what I was doing that my husband usually bought them. He gave them to me, took my money then strangely asked if I lived in Memphis. I said yes, that I lived in Fox Meadows and he wrinkled his brow and I said Hickory Hill area and he smiled and said, oh yes, then kind of leered a little and asked if I was married. Well, I kind of was shocked at that as I have a big ole wedding ring on, but smiled and said, yes, that I have been married 32 years. He reeled like I had hit him and said, oh, that's a big... I kind of cut off the rest of whatever he was going to say, said yes, thanks and walked out. I wish you could have seen his face when he realized I was an old coot who had been married a longgggggg time! It was priceless, but still ended my day nicely!
Hope you get a good laugh from that one!
