I have the Friday parental brekkie, so I will be brief. Many plans for the day....shopping, gardening high on list after breakfast...so I must be off. Want to woggle before I go!
hi royals! i know it's been a while, but i have been thinking about you. i had some ms and some computer "technical difficulties" both of which have kept me away. i have a lot of posts to catch up on, but just wanted to peek in and let you know im still here. have a good friday, one and all.
So grand to see thee, wsw. May both of your technical difficulties take a good long break so we can have more of you.
I think I really overscheduled this week. Life's not as much fun when you have more to do than your old body is up for. Next week - less which will be more - at least in the FUN dept.
Hi wsw! Nice to see you back....sorry about the problems though.
Saturday dawns windy and overcast. But the sun will peek through by this afternoon. And since I'm working, that is fine with me!
I am stiff this morning...I ran 10 minutes of the total woggle time yesterday. I know, I'm too fussy. I time everything. I guess it is one thing I can control....how much I do, that is. So today will just be a long walk around the block and some easy weights.
Gardens...I planted 18 calla lilies yesterday...the white, and light pink ones that look like the silk ones in the expensive decorating stores....tublar and short ones.. They look very elegant, and I hope they do well. The consensus is that that bed is going to be too hot for the hostas....dalias and those lilies so far are there...and some creeping phlox. And a bleeding heart....I hope it isn't too warm for it now that it has lost its' ugly shade shrub!
Anyway, I plan to continue gardening this pm....after work. Manure and dirt to haul for expansion #4 of the far front bed!
Fly-by We're taking my mom out to Fisherman's Wharf lobster supper. Yay! No cooking! In the meantime, though, I think I need a nap and I'm just going to go pop into bed with my novel
I was wondering if I could join your group. My name is Amber Joy, I am 23 from Utah. I'll tell you more about in my next post if you'd like to hear. I have 80 lbs to lose. Anyways, you seem like fun people and I would like to get to know you!
Hiya Amberjoy! Pull up a tiara and have some tea....Kaye is the tea lady I think. I like wine . However, as it causes me to lose my inhibitions and eat in an un- - ly way, I try not to inbibe too often!
How was the Wharf Arabella!? My DH BQ'd and the parentals came over....very nice. Too much wine and too many poppers. However. Fun.
I must beetle....am to be trained this am and I want to get the heathens out for a bit!
Welcome, AmberJOy - always glad to share palace with kindred spirit.
Jump rope? Well, at one time I could (even a little Double Dutch a long time ago). Artificial knees don't thrill to the thought though. I admit I tried a jump last year with the younger Princess. A memory best not recalled
DS was up over the weekend which made it eminently pleasant - plus he does countless little things for me while here. Also a little family occasion on Saturday which was pleasant in itself but more so because he doesn't get to too many of them.
to be ultra warm today after a few cooler days - and then to be cooler again. Dressing for this weather is a real challenge. But it's mostly been very pretty.
Made it back to tai chi class yesterday AND had PT. And did lots of other laundry and stuff. Restarted again yesterday, of course.
And we'll all be waiting for your scoop, AmberJoy.
Sorry Amber , I confused your name... Not a very royal welcome! Amber Joy is very pretty and I will not forget it!
Anagram, I agree about how to dress..... when the a/c is turned on at the o ffice, we all grab sweaters and throws as its very frigid. I finally brought an extra blouse to wear if the heavier jacket I usually wear is too much.
We joke that we have to take clothes off to go outside....
Ceara, WoodNymph and WSW, hope this Wednesday bodes well in your kingdoms....

Thought of the day :
"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook."
William James
Quite the weather that blew through last night! Has dropped the temp a bit!
I have a dr.'s appointment this am...am fasting for a blood draw...jeesh, not even black coffee allowed! I want a coffee! Have done the floor exercises, and am off shortly to woggle and walk. Need to find my wind pants. Too chilly for shorts!
How was dinner out Arabella? We BQ'd here, and drank wine. My mother is a horrid influence on me in that area. But we had fun!
Have a great day ladies....Hope you all are doing well!..
Hi Y'all! Guess what's forecast for tonight? Hint: white, fluffy. UGH.
A cold has caught me -- must not have been going fast enough! I'm going to try to take it a bit easy today. It seems to be lodged in my chest, instead of starting in my head as usual.
Ceara, it was a lovely evening out. Mom was very happy and everyone had a good time. Too much wine here, too.
Welcome, AmberJoy!
Anagram, that's great that you made it back to tai chi. There's a group here that meets once a week that I'm thinking of joining.
Good Ziggy quote, Kaylets!
WSW, so nice to see you back in the Palace.
K, I'm off. Seriously am going to take it easy this aft., not just say I will and then work through the afternoon. I really feel like lying on the couch with a blanket and watching movies might be just the ticket.
Fluffy stuff? Oh, no. I guess I'll smile at my slightly cloudy, occasional shower. Sunny at the moment though.
Groggy, didn't sleep well night before last so made up with it last night and having trouble getting wide awake. Brekkie will help. Still playing catchup on appts. Today's the dentist.
Food decent again but scale is truly being annoying. I'm just not getting enough exercise yet. Doing a version of woggling on the stepper at therapy. But I'm only on that 8 minutes. Not even that on the agenda today.
I am SO jealous. One of the Baby Brothers gets to visit Halifax in a few weeks. Though he's heading up for a Conference, he's added some extra time and I know he's going to see a lot of lovely area. Green eyes don't become me.
Have a good one, Royals all. I'll betcha Wood Nymph is out walking the harbour with just light little fluffies swirling capriciously around her. Nice visual anyway.
Hope the cold is better and not going into bronchitis. And that your bloodwork comes back with all fab numbers due to your healthy diet, ceara. Remember a little wine is good for you - operative word "little".
Yoohoo, AmberJoy - have you lost your way to the palace? I note we have a lot more readers than posters and just want to say to all that the palace is a joyous place where you will find welcome whenever you brave the moat - our moat in springtime is mostly just a little trickle of a stream inhabited by only a little tadpole or two and one can easily hop over it and traipse up the little meadow to the open Royal Door. Tea awaits but only the occasional crumpet due to certain caloric restrictions.
Snow! I'm with Anagram..I'll enjoy the wet and gloom....
Got the phlox in the ground yesterday...of course I changed my mind on how I wanted them and moved things around. So now I have to go get some more mauve ones.....gardening hazards!
Bloodwork is just normal stuff...sugar, cholesteral etc...liver function he said? I guess he figured since he had some he'd run a profile. I'm on drugs for the sinus infections.....gotta get that script filled...
have a good friday, one and all.
