Hi girls
all of U r probably sleeping right now. I've been paying bills online & shopping tonight keeping busy to get sleepy.
Thank You Everyone
for the Happy Birthday wishes to me. My birthday is today the 21st, I grew-up celebrating my birthday on the 1st day of Spring, but astrology changed it in 2006 to March 20 & say the 1st day of Spring returns back to March 21st in 2102 (that's 87 yrs. away) & I won't b here to celebrate it again (60+87=I'd b 147 yrs.), so I'll b keeping it the way it was before the astrology/solar system played w it.
Friday R went to Walgreens after work & was sneaky & got me a 3 foot bunny. When I went into our bedroom last night I found my big bunny on his pillow for me to sleep with, holding a pink rose in tissue paper & a Love note from R. We r both silly, playful & romantic, so I was hoping for a surprise from him. When a cat I got for outdoors a few yrs ago strayed & I cried; R bought me a stuffed toy black cat that looked like Sabrina's talking cat on her show w a note tied to it saying, 'I'll never leave you'. I married a very thoughtful guy
R phoned me this morning & again @ supper, dS1 took him to a noodle restaurant in Milwaukee. I'll hear about it when R comes home tomorrow evening. Our dS2 was sick & that's why I told R to go on my b-day weekend to help our son. R said it will b 2-3 more weekends before dS1 home interior is in the condition he wants to get a 'good' selling price w the relator. Ds1 had used all his work vacation, when the job transfer became available in Michigan that's why he's been driving back on the weekends to upgrade his home to sell it.
This morning I was bored & I called my neighbor that has horses to tell them I was available to exercise/ride & groom them today, but they weren't home. The sun was shining & it was 45*, I brought out my boom box & played oldies tunes & cleaned my flowerbeds & got bored, so I set buckets in our driveway & rollerbladed around them, next I played basketball, then I got the doggies to play kickball & frisbee w me, until we all got tired & then I turned the Jacuzzi on & sat in it w my swimsuit & a t-shirt & relaxed. We got hungry & Sundae & MeeMee & I drove to our nearby grocery store & got food from the deli & m&m cookies & my favorite ice cream Spumoni & had my birthday lunch-supper w my doggies, I made them a bowl of brown rice & unseasoned baked chicken & a scoop of my ice cream. R told me to stay out of the woods while he was gone incase I stepped in a hole, etc. & got hurt w/o him @ home to take care of me & b my hero. Tomorrow I'll start spring cleaning inside & if its nice outdoors, set in the sun w a blanket on a chaise & read or catch-up on some computer work on my laptop.
Shaddie... I hope your weekend is going great for U. I hope that U either got a 'raise, a bonus, or double-time pay' for all the long hours your employer has U working. It seems like they'd ease up on U, because if they push U too hard, for too long; your gonna need another trip or a 3-4 day weekend. Please try to make more 'time for Joy'
What, U don't wear paisley, stripes, florals or polka-dot clothing to work
U r a gardener, U should wear what (the colors) U grow
Michelle... Geese, another Chickie that needs some extra Love right now
Sweetie, U deserve more good news in your life w all the issues that have happened to U during the last year. Your in my prayers to get a enjoyable, wonderful job w a company that appreciates U
Great timing that your getting a tax refund this year instead of having to pay back.
Susie... I'm soo happy that your doc appointment went well
Looks like U doing great w your PT exercises & your injury turned out to b a blessing in disguise because of all the Wonderful things you've learned about taking much better care of your body now. I can imagine having your new NordicTrack recumbent bike will b amazing to use. My new bike isn't special, it's just a stationary bike w a flywheel w electronics on the handlebars. Yes I agree, your goal of losing 5# a month for your b-day is very achievable. When I buy packaged food @ the store, the 3 things that determine which I buy r reading the labels for saturated fat, sugar & sodium. R has copied my habit when he picks up food to buy also. When I read the entire label, to compare each factor I get lost so for me it's easier to pick 3 nutrients to compare.
Terra... When U have your cooking classes, do the students get a choice or a vote for what they want to learn to make? It would b just terrible if the students didn't like everything that the teacher chose for the class. When Clyde was w U, U took lots of walks so I hope that as the weather warms up U can b outdoors & enjoy walking again
Danielle... Looks like U r doing great w your work-outs
Working @ a Orthopedist office is like having a good incentive for U to be a healthy role model for all the patients that come there. Also a good reason for U to eat lots of veggies
Annie... I hope that your cousin & Auntie enjoyed being w U over the weekend & that U had lots of sunny weather down there
What caused the explosions
Did anyone get injured, I haven't been watching the news.
Ceejay... I hope that your Uncle is doing much better today
I hope it's not your diverticulosis getting inflamed turning into diverticulitis which is serious. If your pain level gets bad & U can't get any relief then its time to get to a Urgent Care clinic & b sure to tell the doc about all the spicy food that may have triggered it in Texas & possibly the doc will have a inexpensive RX or over the counter medicine for U. There's no need to suffer painfully until your doc reopens on April 7th. If U want to keep your job, U gotta b healthy & take good care of yourself.
Laura... I am just sooo jealous of U that U r joining a bike club
I wish that I had joined this thread a year or more ago when my dS1 was living in Milwaukee. Then on one of our long 3-4 day visits to see him, R & I could've stopped by Chicago to visit U & your bf & U could've been our travel guide around Chicago w using our bikes, R & I would've Loved doing that w U guys. When R & I were had our honeymoon in Vegas, we went to the tallest casinos @ night & rode the elevators to the highest floor & looked out the hallway windows @ the strip & city; it was beautiful looking @ all the colored lights.
Happy... I'm sorry about the speakers @ your concert. Your headache & your ears recovered pretty quickly though. No, U r not a old fogey for not wanting to go deaf & have your ears ringing for days, or for the ignorant-insensitive jerks surrounding U @ the concert doing stuff. Its normal to b upset w the ppl w seats in front of us, that stand-up & dance for most of a concert, so we have to also stand/dance as long as they r so we can see the stage & enjoy the band, then the ppl behind us have to also stand-up or they r PO @ us for blocking their view. When we went to a BB King concert the audience was so mesmerized w him that everyone was sitting & politely jiving together during his performance. We like outdoor concerts best, if the band is good like when we saw Little Big Town, Toby Keith, Carlos Santana, Journey, Maroon 5; the acoustics didn't matter & our ears didn't get blown-off from the speakers outdoors. Maybe outdoor concerts would b better for U also.
Time to get some sleep now
I need to do Sunday what I should've done Saturday
