HI LADIES ~ we also had a shopping day today; did a lot of walking -- sure got my exercise in today. I was smarter this time and took a light pain med before leaving and that helped a bit.
Well, we managed to get most of the things we went for; we were looking for a rug for our livingroom as the floor is a bit cold (no basement) and it's a new kind of flooring that looks like hardwood, but isn't (a good fake). They were on sale, but the one we wanted is at another store; so we'll see if arrives here and is the right color or not then.
We got a cute little family of snowmen ornament that we want to put on the front of our deck; we already have some large candycanes, so they should go together. As for the Nativity Scene, that will have to wait until DH can make one; and that will take some planning and arranging for materials. We saw only one today and it was already sold. But I thinkt what we have with some lights will look nice too.
HI PURPLE ~ I'm so very glad for you for your NSV of fitting into a size 14 UK clothes today: I think that is FANTABULOUS!!! I don't blame you one bit for being so happy; that is a dream for many of us here. You have worked so hard, and you deserve it!
You are not the only one who had problems with bees, but I think I am healed of my fear of them now (which is answered prayer). For the last few summers, bees can come around, and I don't panic like I used to; but I have to admit that I still don't like wasps much as they are more aggressive. As I probably already told you, I got stung by a whole hives of bees when I was a young child, which caused a terrible fear of bees for decades, not just for me, but also my siblings (esp my sisters, who remembered that incident very well). I'm glad that I feel better about them now.
Yes, we had dental work done without needles or pain meds when we were kids too; I think that's why the drilling bothers me so much now; plus there were other incidents too. I look forward to the day that I find a good dentist again. You know, many do good work; but I don't like it when they want to do work that other dentists say isn't necessary.
For example, I'm so glad that I met one smart dentist who told me not to have my wisdom teeth removed unless they were causing a problem or bothering me, as later I lost one of my back teeth and the good wisdom tooth came down and replaced it; otherwise, I would have had a big hole there. There were other dentists who wanted to take them out for no good reason whatsoever.
Well, that's my rant for this week!!! LOL!
HELLO to you too, MEOWEE ~ hope you had a good 'SNOW' day ...
We had very light, fluffy snowflakes today -- very pretty really, and the temps were much milder here which was nice for us for shopping.
HI to VAL and NUMPSTER ~ I know that you are both out there ...
Take good care ladies, and have a good Tuesday ...
