FRIDAY: Today is Fabulous Friday Follies and our folly poll for this week is, what's the worst thing you ever did to your sibling (if you have one)?
Morning gals! My poll answer is hard because I was always on the receiving end of everything. My younger sister was horrible. We lived in a small town like Mayberry when I was growing up and you didn't get home postal delivery, you had to go and pick it up at the post office. I was a jr in high school, was responsible for my two siblings and running the house and had to walk to the post office to get the mail one summer's day (my mom was working) and when I got back, my sister had tied my 11 yr old brother to a tree out in the summer heat. She got mad at him about something and to punish him tied him to a tree. She was not quite Nelly Olsen of Little House on the Prairie, but she wasn't far off!
Maybe the worst thing I did was marry Jack. She tried to "get" him and he ignored her. She is now in a lousy marriage with a very ego maniac man.
Amanda: Just try hard to eat better things even if you feel the need to overeat. Make a homemade pizza with less cheese and more veggies, etc until you feel more like yourself. Women get screwed when it comes to losing weight because hormones play such a huge roll in our well being so just hang in there and remember it only lasts about a week. Oh, and try to prepare ahead of time for your next period. Have stuff in the house that is good to eat and filling in case of the bingy feeling you can't control! Like a boy scout, BE PREPARED!
I am not a happy camper. The plumber came, fixed the faucets, but took the pipe and everything for the spout saying he would have to go to parts and get a new one. He isn't coming back until late this afternoon so we have no way to bathe! On top of that, Jack had to CALL to make sure they were going to come back today because no one called us with a time. He was also an hour late even though we were the first call he made, then charged us for 2 hours work even though he was only here an hour! Get this, the parts cost 60 cents and the bill was $200! I got up to go to the bathroom and found that the sink is still dripping that he supposedly fixed! On top of that, we bought the new garage opener and they have yet to call with an install appt. We called them yesterday afternoon and the girl got snippy about our contract reading they had 48 hours to call and set up an appt and Jack told her it was 50 hours when we called. She aquiesced and said she would check and call back, which she never did. If they don't call today, I am going back to Lowes and blow my stack! (Jack is not a forceful person when it comes to stuff like this and so I am going to have to be the butt kicker here) We bought 5 appliances, all our paint and supplies for the whole condo, all new lighting for the whole condo, some furniture and some small appliances there when we bought the condo and I am crawling up the manager's behind and tell them we won't even buy another light bulb in there if they don't get their act together and get our install done. I am going to tell him that we shouldn't have to pay for something that they didn't follow through with (of course the payment for this stuff has already gone through my bank! They are johnny on the spot with that!)
Have to go girls! Have a great weekend if I don't get back in here.
