Hello, everyone!
I have a few extra minutes tonight now that I got "the baby" off and running.
I had WI (not Wisconsin) at WW this morning and was down 1.5! WooHoo!
A loss for a change.
Then ran home and got "the baby" so we could go to the old eye dr. and get his records. He's over 21, so mom can't get that stuff for him anymore, we can damn well pay all the bills, but we can't pick up the records and transport them to the new dr.
Then had an 11:00 appointment with the new eye dr. Didn't not like the old one, just the new insurance isn't accepted at the old place. Don't even get me started on insurance companies!!!!
His script hadn't changed much so he opted for a pair of sunglasses instead of new regular ones so that's good. Up until now, he's never worn sunglasses and that concerns me some. But mother's don't know anything, you know????
Anyway, he needed his laundry finished, I had some paperwork from the theatre to do, and then he wanted to get on the road to Buffalo, NY for a week or so.
I don't think I told this story before. Again, if I did, just skip this part.
Anyway, he and his fraternity roommate got hired to design and make a prototype for a remote controlled cooler. Yes, you heard right, a cooler that will be on a motorized base and operated via a hand held remote control so that it doesn't have to be carried by hand. He has had the same roommate for his entire college career and they're really good friends. The roommate works for UPS as his coop job. Well I guess, his boss' boss hired him to do this and he's paying for it all expenses, plus they're supposed to make some decent $$$$ for their efforts. So he was going to NY, because that's where the roommate is from, and going to work on it for the next week or so until he has to return to work on the 7th of July. Are you bored yet????
I did take the boys out for a Chineese lunch today. I figured we wouldn't have too much time together with "the baby" being gone for most of his vacation to NY.
2cute: I'm glad you and I are not going crazy.
Sounds like a few of us have been hit by the post gobbling fairies. Ummm. Hope you're not working so hard today. We're too old for too many all nighters. (notice I said WE)
Glad to hear your daughter is home safe on USA turf. All that anxiety about her being overseas is over and done with and she's home safe. I bet she had a wonderful trip.
Amanda: Oh what a night!!! Geez, you had a rough one. Hope things are looking up by now.
Lori: The men I think are extra hot are dark-haired, blue-eyed ones. I also go for men that are older than my sons.
Sandy: Sounds like you're getting baptized by summer's heat. It's gotten hot here today too. No Spring to speak of, unless you call all that rain Spring!
Tina: Are you still on your high????? I loved this: "Ok.....I want to exercise, but let's not get carried away here mister!" Isn't it funny how they can say just so much, and then one step over the line, and it goes from helpful to disasterous??? Men, gotta love 'em.....you can't shoot 'em!
Andria: Tell me more about Curves. One of the other girls here started going too. The results seem to be astonishing. And as far as the weightloss goes, yeah, I'd love to lose, but isn't it our size that leads us in that direction to begin with. I guess I wouldn't mind weighing this much if I was thinner and firmer.
Kat: Hope your SIL arrived safely. When's graduation? Tomorrow? I bet your daughter is very excited.
Terri: Sorry you don't like your cable Internet connection. I just love mine. It's not my connection that craps out, it's the computer itself.
Maggie: Glad you stopped by.
Michelle: Welcome home from vacation. I always need some recouperation after vacation. Hope work is going well. How's the new job? Did I miss your description of what you're doing now?
Barb: Sounds like you've been a busy bee. I hate painting too. My honey does most of it, but I've gotten to where I like sponge painting and almost every room in my house I have sponged with different combinations of colors, some I like better than others of course.
We took down all the wallpaper in the house and opted for doing the sponge painting because if we don't like it or tire of it, all we need to do is paint again. * My "showgirl" job is how I refer to any type of job I do at the neighborhood theatre. I do mystery shopping and merchandising for a living. Instead of going into great detail, which I am under contract not to do, I refer to my jobs in a little vaguer terms: "showgirl, bank-jobs, bra-lady, etc." Hope that helps clear some things up for you.
I know, clear as mud!
Mary: "Men" and "morons" in the same sentence? That's my girl!!!
I'm sorry about your hidrangea. I hear they take several years to yield blooms too. Maybe you need to get some police caution tape the next time you want to plant something, just to be safe.
Well, my lovelies, I'm going to head up and work on reading my book in my secret garden for awhile. Since the boys were busy on Sunday, they are tying up the family room TV watching the race that they taped.
I have a brunch date, and then about 4 jobs that have to be completed tomorrow. I have no more ambition for tonight whatsoever.
