Yummy! Spaghetti!! That's great about the body perm. I've been going to the same person for over 20 years now, and I dread having to try someone else. I had a cut and color yesterday that I was desperate for. I think I'll end up having to have it done while we are gone. I can understand why Brad's sister would want to go home. I'm sure I'd be the same way. I am going to 2nd service this morning, so I don't have to leave here until 10:00. I enjoyed sleeping a little later.
Mima - A perm? I WISH I could have one of those, but I have way to much hair. It sure isn't made for a perm. It is usually ok though. I wash it, dry it and sometimes use the curling iron and it is good for a 2 or 3 days. It has great body.
Glad you had a good time at your Spagetthi dinner. I love that.
9 months is a looooong time. I would want to go home as well. Hope she will do alright.
Tammy - boy tomorrow is coming fast. Have a safe trip and I know you will get online as soon as you can. Having no more pets was the right choice for us. I enjoy my daughters cats when I go to visit, which is often.
Had a great weekend. Got to visit with my kids, and gkids. Our baby is growing up waaay to fast. She will be 2, already, in May.
I GOT my chair It is absolutely wonderful. Also, ordered on for hubby, but it won't be in for another 4 - 6 weeks. Wanted the same color, and as lot and colors change, thought we had better get another. They only the one in stock, so I was really happy to get it. Also, had a great massage. It always hurts so bad when he is doing it, but feels so good later.
Hope everybody sleeps well. Mima, I don't know what you did to start sleeping, but I sure hope it continues for you.
Mima ... yes, we're going to the Gaither concert at the Sommet Center in Nashville next month. Our whole SS class is going from church. We're all going down on Fri. night Feb. 8 and spending the night. Should be good. Our Senior Director bought tickets and made hotel reservations a couple of months ago. Here is a list of some of the singers that are supposed to be there:
Artists:
CHRIST CHURCH CHOIR
JEFF & SHERI EASTER
GAITHER VOCAL BAND
JOY GARDNER
ERNIE HAASE & SIGNATURE SOUND
EVA MAE LEFEVRE
GORDON MOTE
IVAN PARKER
JANET PASCHAL
LYNDA RANDLE
BEN SPEER
KEVIN WILLIAMS
My personal favorites are The Easters, Janet Paschal and Signature Sound. I like all the others, too!
Tammy, once again, so sorry about Kramer. After Sabrina, our Dobbie, died I was devastated. I would go to the door and start to open it to check on her. I would go look out the window to see where she was. I did this for months. It was horrible. I'd just be standing looking outside and feel the tears slide down my face. Same with our last little poddle, Allie. My bed just felt so empty after she died and eating pepperoni pizza just wasn't the same without her there to eat the pepperoni for me. I know just what you're going through. Losing a pet is not an easy thing. People who are not 'pet people' think we're nuts, huh? But the rest of us have a strong compassion for you girlfriend!
I'm quite a bit better. I started drinking a 'juice' supplement last week called MonaVie ... 2 oz morning and night. I can now bend 3 out of 4 fingers on my right hand all the way to my palm (which I haven't been able to do in years). Also, there was a gap between my ring and middle fingers so big I could get my left index finger between them and I couldn't even squeeze them together where they had drawn apart. Now they go together on their own. All this in less than a week. I've noticed that I can turn my head quite a bit further, too. Hubby and I became distributors of the juice ... it's cheaper if you're a distributor so we signed up. I'm going to keep taking it ... who knows ... I may be trying out for a marathon by summer! I wish you all could try it ... it might help you, too. If you decide you'd like to try a bottle (one bottle lasts a week) let me know and I'll send you one in the mail. Warning, though, it's kind-of expensive. I asked hubby if he was sure we could afford it. He finally got back on days (thank you Lord) but he had to take a pretty sizable pay cut to do that. He said, as well as it's working, we can't afford not to. I looked at my hand and agreed with him. You can read about it at: http://www.monavie.com
Hi-I started sleeping after I got that injection. Love getting 8 hours-that's the only thing I did differently.My back still hurts but it is better, Now my shoulders hurt-def need a massage, I put it off because my back hurt last time but now I know what to tell him. I bought a frame to cross stitch-not what I expected but I taped my hoop to it. Still got shoulder pain not using left hand.
I am so glad you got your chair, Anne . awesome. And I ma glad you had a nice time. Love seeing those babies.
Tammy-be safe-
meme-we saw all those except the choir. Gloria does this nice thing at the end.
We cannot eat pasta without thinking of cassidy-he would moan.
Going to lunch with my gf. Someone I work with back home.
My niece and Suzanne went to get Cindy's gown on Sat. They will all have the color rose petal but different styles-and all long. It's going to be so pretty.
I am going to stop at Penny's this week and see what they have for dressy dresses/
Bye Mima
Anne, I am very excited about heading out tomorrow. I know I won't be on the computer tomorrow, and I'm not sure about Wed. Thursday for sure because I know that hotel. Glad to hear that you had a nice weekend. Kids grow up so fast! My baby will be 20 on March 5. Seems like just yesterday that we found out that we were expecting him!! lol Great news about the chair!!!!!! I have done alot of sleeping the past week.
Meme, that's cool that all of you are going to be able to attend the concert! It is nice to know that you guys can all relate to how I'm feeling about Kramer. I just opened a Tupperware container, and I tried to do it as quietly as I could because K would always come running. Even when we opened the drawer where we keep the Tupperware, he would come running.
I have heard good things from many people about Monavie. The aunt of a friend of mine talked to me about it. I tried it for almost 2 months, and I kept thinking that since it worked for so many others, it had to work for me. I guess it's like medicines. Some works, and others don't. The Monavie didn't work for me. I was sooooooooo disappointed, but I am happy for people that it works for. I'm thrilled that it is working for you!!!!!
Mima, glad that you are sleeping better. Hope you had fun with your gf for lunch. That's neat about the dresses being different styles. That way one person doesn't stick out if the style isn't made for her shape. I need to get a new dress for my niece's wedding in June. I keep thinking maybe I'll lose some more before then.
Bob's son was here earlier today. While here he received a phone call from school that his 6th grader was ill, so he had to leave to go pick him up. Bob and his son have just started being more in contact with each other the past few years. His wife and I tried for years, but we finally gave up. I think the guys have decided that it's time. I'm glad. Tim is too. He has 2 nephews! 4th grader and 6th grader.
That's great about your step-son and Bob!! Have a safe trip!!!
We are going to the RR club an Evan can run the trains-he will be so happy.
My gf and and I had such a good time-we will do this again in March and then work together in May.
The people acroos the street who are going on the cruise are dealing with clothing issues-he only likes to wear tshirts and shorts. You have to dress up for the Captains dinner-but Brad told him no more waffling and he has to bring a wheelchair which we can borrow from the park. He is going to be 84.
Debbie was sick and Angela brought her to the emergency room and she had to get an IV-She's due on April 17 so they most likely will miss the wedding. Time will tell.
Bye for now-Mima
Those chairs do sound neat. Hubby and I were just talking tonight about maybe getting a sectional. Our couch is so hard ... I hate it. Plus, if we had a sectional, we could seat more people in the livingroom ... sigh ... maybe someday.
Anne, I don't do perms anymore, either. I used to get them all the time but I finally figured out that all they do is frizz my hair out and then the ends break off. My hair is naturally frizzy anyway. I have to wash it at night, put it in hard rollers and dry it under a dryer, then I can use a curling iron on it for a day or two after that and it's ok. I don't wash it every day. It's really dry.
I can't believe Tim is nearly 20. Of course, I can't believe my oldest g-son is almost as tall as I am either. (I'm getting old!)
But ... on the up side ... I'm feeling better. We had a line of thunderstorms pass through today and I didn't have to stay in bed all day. Sami has to go in the garage when it thunders ... scares her to death. I went down in the middle of the day during a lull in the storms to let her out for a few minutes. Took the stairs instead of the elevator and I was at the bottom of the steps before I even realized it. I stopped for a minute to reflect on this. I was like, how did I get here so fast. I'm just amazed. (And very, very thankful ... God is good!)
Well, that is sure good news! My hip is hurting again but my neck is better,
We went to the RR club in the morning and a thrift store in the PM. Callie bought himself 2 jackets and 3 shirts. A tie, and a luggage case for $25. He went from saying no way to getting dresses up to being so happy he found the jackets. Dorothy and I didn't find anything but that's alright. I need to spread out my clothes to see what I have. I am going to buy my wedding shoes and take them-need sandals because of that stupid toe.
Art today-church tonight. I haven't cooked since Sat-that's ok with me.
Evan is going to start Nursery school but Jill said I could still take him but one day a week would be better.
Hi to all-the weather here is the best of the winter. Mima
Glad you are there safely. What a beautiful area.
Went to Ortho doc-I am getting 2 more treatments. A friend called me and she went to get a treatnebt yesterday-she has 2 bulging disks and a fractured one. Yikes.
Then I went to the Mall-walked and walked-found a dress at Sears but wasn't sure of the color. When I got home I decided I wanted it=it's mauve-and they are holding it, Now here's the good news-I thought it was half price but its marked down 35.99 from 120!!! That sure will pay for the alterations.
Because it's not a petite so I have to have the shoulders of the inside dress taken up and the sleeves of the jacket shortened.
Now for the shoes!!!! I need glittery sandals with a small heel.
Brad and I have symptoms of a cold. And Jill does too. If she feels alright. Evan is coming.
Bye for now-Mima
Mima, that is great about the dress! I love getting a bargain like that.
Our condo is very nice. We still haven't been to the grocery. Doing that after church tomorrow. Bob said he is going with me!!!! Since we haven't been to the grocery, we've been eating out. I feel like I've been making good choices. I brought our bathroom scales with us to help me stay on track. Weighed this morning, and I was the same as when we left home. Made me feel good.
I had emails from friends and Tim about the weather at home. They had ice/snow/sleet. Just yucky. Glad we are here.
Glad you are there safe and sound. It's fun to go to a different church.Bet you find a superwalmart down south. What's the temp there? It's just a tad warm here.
Grandma Sandy and I are taking Alison shopping for her prom/wedding dress. I guess all that money I saved will be put to good use. Jill doesn't want to go but that's a good thing because Alison is girly and her Mom is not.
We went to Jill's bd. It was fun. I ate a little cake and ice cream and boy did I hurt this morning, Sugar, wheat and milk!!!!!
Brad is still coughing-Bye for now-Mima
We passed a superwalmart when we were driving around on Friday. I think that's where we are headed after church. We went to this church when we were here at Christmas a couple years ago. Different pastor now I saw. Last time it was a woman, this is a man. It's supposed to be close to 70 here today. Upper 70's the next 2 days. Nice.
Have fun shopping for Alison's dress. I'm sure you'll find a nice one for her.
I ate some ice cream last night - strawberry cheesecake. It was very good.
Hope Brad stops coughing soon, and I hope your hurting stops.
Mima - great deal on your dress. It' s always nice to get a bargain. Hey, we are coming out of the deep freeze here. Hope Brad feels better. You didn't get it?
Tammy - glad you arrived safe and sound. Those SuperWallmarts are so big. There is a new one in Edmonton and it is a block long! I hardly ever GO to Wallmart, only when my daughter comes. She LOVES Wallmart, and I don't. They are building a SuperWallmart not far from here. Of course, I will go look, but I just don't ever go there.
We have been living in the deepfreeze for the past week. On Monday it was -48 out with the windchill, and in some places -55 and colder. The daytime temp. for Tuesday was -38 without the windchill and the wind was blowing so hard. It was a time to hibrinate. Hans just came home and picked me up and took me to work, and then he took the car and plugged it in at work. We use block heaters, or it would NEVER start when it's that cold. Getting a two truck was taking up to 4 days, so you sure didn't want it not to start. Yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and it felt like a heatwave, as it was 10F. Hopefully that is the last of the Arctic Air for this winter. The GROUNDHOG said we will have 6 more weeks of winter!
Have a good day. Joanne where are you? and Meme, where are YOU????
It is absolutely wonderful. Also, ordered on for hubby, but it won't be in for another 4 - 6 weeks. Wanted the same color, and as lot and colors change, thought we had better get another.
