Morning ladies. The cat was hopping all over the bed not letting us sleep so I brought him downstairs to work on laundry so Jack could sleep in. We had a problem with my dryer last night right in the middle of the Nascar race and Jack had to take off the back and clean out tons of lint (from all those towels I had to dry back a couple months ago with the morons next door flooding my bathroom) as it had started BURNING!!! It is all nice and cleaned out now, so I am hoping it will work more efficiently as I need to get this laundry done!!!
I braved the commissary, though dragged Jack along as I was out of everything. We got all that home and put away and I kept at the laundry yesterday. We went out and looked at XM radio kits for the car/house as that is going to be my birthday UGH present from Jack. We haven't exactly decided which one and since my birthday is the end of the month, I have time to decide.
Talked to our son yesterday and got tickled when I was talking with dil and ask her about going next month to Florida. She said something about, oh, it is next month isn't it? I said something about yes, I knew it was because I was dreading getting older this month. She said to Jay, "Did you know it was your mom's birthday this month?" I heard, "S*%$," in the background and just laughed. I heard him say, "Is their anniversary the 24th?" I laughed and told Alicia, "Tell him NOTHING is the 24th for anybody." and repeated birthdays and anniversaries (which ours is not even until November 18th!) . That man just cannot keep dates in his head.
We have soccer practice tomorrow evening but I am hoping it will be a bit cooler. It is supposed to be 91 most of this week, but it cools off nicely in the evening now. I guess I will take their gifts with me and give them to them at the practice. I got Thomas 2 t-shirts, one from M and M store that I promised and one with a cartoon safari tiger from MGM Grand lion habitat, some Halloween colored m and m's and this gumball character I bought at the Chocolate Swan at Mandalay Bay. It is a gumball that they took frosting and made a body out of. His is a little tiny lion, but they had bunnies, babies, clowns, all sorts of things. They had a dinosaur, but it was baby bop from Barney so I didn't want him thinking I thought he was a baby so I got the lion instead. They come in these little clear plastic cases so he can keep it. I bought my dd and sil a bottle of this "dipping" olive oil with tomato, basil, etc in it. You eat it as an appetizer with french bread. I bought it at the Bellagio and I bought 20 assorted chocolate truffles for her as she hinted around about chocolate from the Chocolate Swan.
Well, I need to go and get the morning started. No more pool as it closes tomorrow, but I am going to try and get started walking again tomorrow.
Have a great holiday!
