Girls...I am taking a break from FB and 3FC. I love you all, but seem to be upsetting many people with my actions. I will come back if and when I get my head straight. Know that I am with you all and wish you all health, happieness and faith. Hugs...Annie
Hi - I am here, just not sure where. Flying visit home to take the hearing aid in for repair then back to the cottage in the woods today and hitting the training class heavily for the next two weeks. Trying to fit everything in but it will be touch and go until after July 2nd. That's go live and it may be even busier then since so many of them were trained so far back and will have forgotten
Annie - haven't worked out what you have said to annoy us yet, but that's okay. We must all take the time we need to work through things.Get straightened out and come back when you are ready.
Hoping your quilting friend gets better soon.
Happy - my car needs a wash, can I bring it over? It's only small! Vege patch is looking good - don't know whether I said that previously or not. However do not feed the bunnies too much or they will multiply and burrow under your vege patch fence, on to the deck and anywhere else they can become a nuisance. May even take over the groundhogs spot.
Sorry to hear DH has not been well again. Tell him to take it easy for a change. Not everything has to be done straight up and with military precision.
Michelle - congratulations on your new job. I hope it gives you as much pleasure as the old one did initially. Can't make the drinks but know I am thinking of you.
Ellen - Kids for braces did I see - Hope mum came through the operation just fine. Keeping fingers crossed for her.
Laura - hair coloured and cut! Sounds like you are ready for a round or two now. Did it turn out okay.
Ceejay - happy travels. Have fun with the BFF.
Mel - When we have some form of vehicle we form attachments to them. It's a grief thing when they can no longer be repaired. My car is up for replacement and although I know this and I don't have time to go car hunting, it still is my car, that I have had from new and cared for and sometimes loved. Sure it is now past middle aged and will cost me dearly as things start to go wrong (and they are) but I just don't seem to get the energy and enthusiasm to get a new one. If something is custom made to fit then it must be even harder. Sometimes life sucks
On a brighter note, there is a flock of cockatoos (like the Yarrabee ones in the tree) who have taken to the neighbours garden. She must have some grass seeds in there. I've seen about 10 of them on her lawn at a time. Yesterday there was also a couple of galahs (pink and gray parrots) over there. And there is a huge flock of them that I see in the mornings (or did before the summer faded and winter set in - now it is dark in the mornings) on the drive to the railway station. Seem to be more of them around now.
Anyway, I had better go and get sorted for this flight this afternoon. I am taking some warmer clothes with me and some food because I won't get to the supermarkets in time today. Country towns tend to close earlier.
Then I need to spend some time in the yard and dig over the vege patch and mulch well to try to stop the weed invasion I seem to have going. And I need to poison the weeds on the path and I only have three hours to do it all.
YESTERDAY WAS SPENT OUTDOORS A LOT.
TOOK MY LUNCH OUTSIDE AND ENDED UP EATING WITH 2 MEN IN THE BLDG.
EACH ONE SAW ME THRU THE WINDOW AND BROUGHT SOMETHING TO EITHER EAT OR DRINK DOWN.
THEY THINK WE SHOULD DO THIS ALL THE TIME.
I SAID WE SHOULD PRETEND WE'RE IN PARIS.
NOW THEY THINK I AM REALLY NUTS
LAST NIGHT WE WATCHED A DVD ON BLOOPERS FROM OLD B&W COMEDY SHOWS.
AN HOUR WELL SPENT WITH LAUGHTER. VERY NICE.
KIND OF CLOUDY OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW.....
THERE MAY BE NO TRIPS TO PARIS TODAY!
HAVE A SUPER DAY
ANNIE......WTF!!!! HOW COULD YOU HAVE PISSED SOMEBODY OFF?
THIS IS WHY I DON'T DO FACEBOOK!!
EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND SOMEONE IN TOWN IS IN TROUBLE ON THERE.
I KNOW I HAVE LEFT SEVERAL TIMES FROM 3FC TO GET MY HEAD SORTED OUT.
BUT PLEASE DON'T JUST FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH
HOPE YOU CAN FIGURE THIS OUT FAST AND COME BACK.
WE WILL MISS YOU MY SISTER
SHAD.......WE WILL HAVE TO PRAY EVERY DAY FOR A GOOD "GO LIVE".
IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING AND HOPE THEY DO REMEMBER THE BITS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO!!
THIS HAS BEEN ONE HECK OF A PROJECT.
YOUR POOR HEAD PROBABLY WISHES IT COULD JUST GO & STAY HOME!!
THANK YOU TOO FOR THE GOOD THOUGHTS.
THE SEPARATION ANXIETY WAS A LOT TO DEAL WITH.
FOR A FEW HOURS THERE I THOUGHT I WAS LOSING MY FRIGGING MIND
NO SUCH LUCK....I'M STILL HERE.
SENDING MY LIL SIS A BIG OL' HUG FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK STAY WARM TOO

Hi there,
Pretty empty this weekend, everyone must be out having fun. It was a beautiful sunny day today with a slight breeze. DH went out for an ATV ride, he asked me to come along but I had some things I wanted to get done around the house and oftentimes I can hammer it out faster if by myself. I told him to go scout a trail and we'd go out together later in the week. We sure are getting all the rain that should be distributed to you folks. Got quite a bit the last few days, rain is coming in again tonight and we might get some serious storms the next 3 days. At least I don't have to water the garden. Little Bunny is doing fine, he is enjoying the garden greens I put out for him twice a day. Yesterday we gave him a slice of apple and he was in bunny heaven, you could almost see him close his eyes and say Ahhhhhh. Not much else going on, talked to Mom yesterday and I swear everyone is nuts - either that or they changed the rules and no one told me. I am beginning to think that DH and I are better off by ourselves BTW things are going better, I guess he must have been on edge about his health although last night laying in bed watching tv he got the heart thumping again - no pain, just racing. He told a "calm me down" pill and felt better today. He will see the doctor on Wednesday.
Mel, I am grabbing and saving the cockatoo pic. What a great one! I'm so glad you had a great time on your Paris trip - bistro dining can be so much fun How nice of the boys to bring you some treats to share. Must do that more often. As long as you don't have to deal with the smell of car exhaust!
Shad - I'd be happy to wash your car - do you want hand wash or can I just leave it on the parkway and let Mother Nature do it? I am afraid if you drop it off you might miss go live and we can't have that. I'm thinking you will have a VERY busy rest of the month at the least. Hope you packed a bottle of wine for this trip. What a lovely description of the birds in the yard, how I'd love to see that. I hear you on the car although I'm thinking yours is newer than ours are. But you put more miles on yours. I told DH when we have to spend thousands of dollars each year fixing the buggies, then we should trade them in. Just because they are 10 years old doesn't mean they are due for the boneyard. In fact my cousin said to let him know when I want to sell my 4Runner although it would pain me greatly to see him beat the crap out of it.
Annie - again sorry you are feeling so blue. I guess no matter what, someone will disagree with what anyone does - as long as you are getting along with the ones you love most, let the rest roll off your back.
Michelle - no posting on the weekends???? I am dying for details of what went down in your life the last 2 days.
Laura - sounds like you are all spiffed up for some partying. How did the weekend go?
Ceejay - hope you had a great time visiting with everyone.
Ellen - if you're working, hope it's interesting. Are you pampering the DH today?
I have the most amazing dinner tonight (I should not be watching all these cooking channel shows). Went over the budget but have this large shrimp (bacon wrapped) for DH and some lovely scallops for me. I have already planned out to cook them and I have a nice beef tenderloin for tomorrow. Sometimes the grocer puts out a display right as you walk in the store of gorgeous but expensive meats and I got suckered in. It was a bit more than what we would have spent for Sunday brunch today but we will get 2 (perhaps 3) meals out of it and I'm sure we will thoroughly enjoy it. Can't wait.
Best get on with planning here. Mel stay cool - I guess there's some heat headed your way.
I did have a great week end. Really didn't want to come back home. Went out to eat on Friday at the best fish place ever. While there I saw a cousin (my mom's cousins son) We had a simple chat but found out what his brothers are doing. Saturday morning bff and I met with some more friends for breakfast. Drove to Paragould on Saturday afternoon. Didn't eat with uncles as I was to full from breakfast. Stopped by another aunts house to visit with my cousins who are more like sisters. We had a very good visit. Now my aunt has things so confused and twisted that if I hadn't talked to the girls themselves I wouldn't know. She told me that my cousin had bipolar but that's not what my cousin told me. I told her that isn't what she told me. Now I have questions that I want to ask my doctor.
Took my aunt to a dress shop. They honestly had something in my size and bought a yellow light weight sweater top.
Looks like my neighbors finished moving over the week end.

Mel
Good for you for spending Saturday afternoon outside and eating with the guys.
Love the birds.
Annie
Don't stay gone too long. You are already missed but I understand why.
Shad
About to get worried about you. You are one busy girl.
Happy
What you missed an ATV ride! Glad the doctor found what was wrong with dh.
Ellen
How's your mom? Did you have a nice father's day with dh?
Evening all,
Big class today, all with different levels of competence. Bah humbug. I can see trouble ahead.
I'm too tired to work on personals, but tomorrow should be an easy day so I will get to it then. I wonder how Michelle is getting along.
I'm back in the Hunter. It is cool, but a beautiful day today. Hey I hear that the Rolling Stones are calling it quits. They are in their 60's and 70's after all. What a run they have had.
Anyway, I'm for an early night. I'll be in again tomorrow.
I REALLY HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.
FIRST ONE LIKE THIS IN A VERY LONG TIME.
MAYBE PEEPS IN HERE ARE FINALLY REALIZING I AM JUST NOT
THE SAME WOMAN THAT MOVED IN HERE 24 YEARS AGO.
SOMEHOW THEY SEEM TO HAVE GOTTEN THE PICTURE.
THERE WAS A LOT LESS BIOTCHING & MOANING
YESTERDAY WAS GLOOMY SO I CLEANED OUT THE MEDICINE CABINET.
THE WEATHER IS COOL TODAY AND SUPPOSED TO CLIMB 10 DEGREES EACH DAY TILL IT REACHES THE HIGH 90's.
THEN BEGINS THE RAIN WE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO STAY DRY OVER HERE!!
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY.
HAPPY.....I THINK THE RULES DID CHANGED AND NO ONE TOLD ANY OF US
HOPE MOM IS DOING OK EVEN WITH THE "BENT" RULES
HAD A LAUGH AT THE BUNNY STORY....HOW CUTE IS THAT????
SENDING DH SOME GOOD & POSITIVE THOUGHTS.
MAYBE HE SHOULD TRY GOOGLING SOME BREATHING EXERCISES.
THEY BROUGHT MY BP DOWN FROM 2OO TO 147.
I ALSO DON'T HAVE AS MANY PALPITATIONS AS I USED TO.
I EVEN DO THEM IN BED WHEN I AM STRESSED OUT.
SENDING BOTH OF YOU A HUG
THE FOOD SOUNDED DELISH! YUMMY!!!!!
I LOVED THOSE 2 COCKATOOS ALSO. SO CUTSIE.
HAPPY....I THINK I HAVE LOST MY "WHEELS OF FIRE"....THEY'RE STUCK ON THE OLD PC. I WENT TO PUT THEM ON AND I DON'T HAVE THEM ON THIS ONE. WONDERING IF YOU STILL HAVE THEM???
CEEJAY....WE BOTH HAD GREAT WEEKENDS. YAY!!!
I AM GLAD YOU ALSO HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL VISIT WITH ALL THE COUSINS.
VERY HAPPY YOU GOT THE STORIES FIRST HAND AND NOT JUST THE CONFUSED VERSION.
HOPE THE COUSINS ARE ALL WELL & HAPPY.
YOU "SOUNDED" SO RELAXED IN THE POST
SHAD....THE ROLLING STONES ARE QUITTING??
I THOUGHT THEY NEVER WOULD. GREAT CAREER THAY HAD.
FORGET PERSONALS TILL THIS GIG IS OVER! LOL
I HOPE IT'S NOT TROUBLE THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD.
STAY CALM & HAVE A DRINK
Shad
Wow, you get more news than I do. I didn't watch t.v. Saturday or Sunday. We understand that you are a busy woman. Hope your work week goes well.
Mel
Glad to hear that your week end was nice. There's always going to be moaning and "b". We have it at work too. Just wish that I was closer and didn't have to drive the hour + to get there and back. The driving gets a bit old. There's still some questions that I'd like to ask my cousin. I'll email her when she gets home.
------
Woke up this morning feeling nauseated (sp) for some reason. I had some meds for that so I took one this morning. Feeling better already. I need to keep those on hand.
Sorry I didn't post at all during the weekend. I was crazy busy. DH left this morning to work in Missouri all week. He won't be home until late Saturday night. His first stop is Mount Vernon (near Joplin), then he'll be in Lexington mid-week, and end up in Kennett on Thursday night or Friday. I think Kennett is fairly close to where Ceejay lives.
Anyway, so I spent all weekend tackling Mount Washmore, and running errands for the things he needed for his trip. I also planted a flat of annuals in the planter in the front yard that's not entirely finished. We had bulbs in there, but they have died back for the summer, and I hated the look of the weeds wrecking the entire look of the planter and our front yard...so I hope the annuals will fill in quickly for color.
Then yesterday, it was more wash, and more cleaning. And after all the yard work and house work was done, I went online and used my associate shopping discount for the last time to stock up on things DH and I need.
As for the work situation....I handed in my notice on Friday morning. My director asked where I was going, and I just said a "small company downtown". Since my director said he'd have to check with HR if he should release me early or let me work through my notice (which is until this Friday), I cleaned out my desk so my cube here is essentially empty, except for a coffee mug and water bottle that I brought back this morning. My new company said I could start right away...I just have to let them know. I came in this morning expecting to have an "exit interview" scheduled, but none has been scheduled yet. So I may be here just today...or I may be here all week. I have a really good training class on writing scheduled for Thursday, so I wouldn't mind sticking around for that.
Last Friday after work, I got together with several close co-worker friends for a send off. It was a great time! Lots of fun! I'm having lunch today with a co-worker, and I've scheduled lunch with some other co-workers on Wednesday.
I've got a meeting with a co-worker soon, but I'll check back in with personals later.
Much love, much appreciation for all your support, and many many hugs,
HAPPY.....THANKS SO MUCH FOR SENDING MY WHEELS OF FIRE!! NOW I SAVED THEM TO PICTURES!!I WAS MISSING THEM FOR SURE!!!
I THINK LOSING THE OLD CHAIR MADE ME REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE THESE FOR ME. SO GLAD THEY WERE SAFELY TUCKED AWAY ON YAHOOEY!!!
Shad - Hope the training goes well this week. Sounds challenging with a variety of experience levels in a session. You sound like you'll have a busy three weeks or more. Take care to get your rest so you don't burn out!!
Happy - I'm glad your dh is feeling better now. Maybe he's having post-retirement trauma - this is one of those huge life events...So you skipped the ATV ride, but you sounded satisfied that you had a productive time at home. Good for you.
Michelle - Congrats on the new job!!! Sounds like a busy weekend. Hope you get some calm during your last week before you start off this new gig and all the learning that'll go along with it. If I may ask - why only one week notice?
Ceejay - Glad you had a nice weekend with the bff and the cousins. I know how the misinformation can go in a family from my own experience!!
Mel - Sounds like you had a super weekend and hope it continues! Fingers crossed you get some more outdoor time.
Ellen - How's your mom doing? Is she in a rehab facility? A friend of mine (my age) had hip surgery just this past Tuesday and she was going home and having PT as an outpatient.
Annie - Gonna miss you, but hope you get everything ironed out in your head and with your loved ones. Take care. Hope to see you back here before too long!
Hi Patty!! Hey Java, what's up?
===
I didn't get here all weekend, but not because I was particularly busy. Well, Friday was busy - that day actually wore me out. After the hair appt, which went a bit longer than usual, we had less than hour before the vet appointment, so I popped into the thrift shop near the salon and bought a few paperback books. The vet appointment was fine, but we couldn't do the bath at Petco until 4 pm because they are using it for their own grooming work until then. So we had time for lunch at that time.
The bath went alright, but took longer because we spent some time beforehand brushing out Coal's fur - he's shedding A LOT lately. We need to be better about brushing. We didn't lift him into the tub this time and I don't care for having him on the floor because he was able to move a bit more than I like and because the bending over gets old quickly. While the floor in the bathing area is textured, the rest of the grooming area is tiled, and poor baby had trouble keeping his footing with his damp paws. I hate that he's having this trouble.
Other than a walk later on in the afternoon, I didn't do much else. Some day off work. Grumble grumble. I much preferred the way I spent the previous Friday, which was literally a day at the beach, lol.
Saturday - slept in - 8:30 am!! - then lounged around most of the morning. Got dropped off at the luggage outlet in our area and bf met a buyer for our old bicycle roof rack (and got a great price for i!). I bought a purse with a jillion pockets - it's rather large, but I will try to resist the tendency to jam it full. I do like that there's room for jamming if needed - umbrella, paperback, etc. After that was lunch and then we bought a card for the graduate. We popped home and got dressed for the party and off we went. I wasn't all that keen on going, and less so when bf told me brother and SIL would be there. But we actually had a nice time with both of them. (Later bf told me that his bro told him his wife wants to move back to where they just moved away from - apparently she hates the commute to her job and her mom's house - oy!) We played some bean bag, and though I tried to toss with my right arm, I had to switch because this rotator cuff thing is still a problem. So bf and I lost by not too much, and that was with me playing lefty... Oh BTW, I AM a lefty who does many things righty because it was the way I was taught, and throwing, bowling and batting are many of my righty activities (as well as scissors and 10-key calculator, lol). I eat and write lefty. Sometimes I confuse myself.
Sooo... didn't get home til about 9:30 ish, much later than I thought since, we arrived 4:30-ish. I relaxed a bit then showered (it was an outdoor party in which the nice breeze died an hour in, leaving me warm and sticky) and went to bed. I was happy going to sleep knowing that it was raining and not storming.
Sunday - bakery, farmer's market (bought some luscious-looking early peaches from a farm in Southern IL), lounging, reading. Lunch at Ikea (yes, the Swedish meatball platter, lol), where we bought some more rugs for the 3-season room. The sofa we just bought has some orange in the cushions, and I was happy to see that I remembered correctly that Ikea had the rugs that I'd just recently bought in a bright green color (just before buying that sofa) also in orange.
We also wanted to shop for new bike helmets, but the bike shop was closed. Boo. Back home we lounged some more with our books in the yard on the chaises with the mister going. Ahhh. I spoke on the phone with both my brother and mother, took doggy for a walk and that was about it. The evening was just some tv & frozen 'za for dinner.
Because I'd heard that the previous book club book, "Fifty Shades of Grey" (E.L. James) had caused a member to skip the book and the club meeting because of its content, I of course I just had to start reading it in earnest. Oh my! One of the racier books I've read...
Okay, too many interruptions. Let me get this finally finish. Full workweek for me - no days off, but the boss will be out at least two days this week, so it'll be calm compared to the last week or so. But then again, it will be busy again after the meeting she's attending.
Hello Ladies,
what a busy weekend. My sister and I took mom and dad to Choctaw Ok, for some gambling. I had a overnight stay. We enjoyed it, I was hoping dad would hit a big one, but no luck.
Mitchellez - So happy for you on the new job. I know insurance is a big deal, but on the other hand, if YOUR Happier at this new place, maybe you can get all the stress and pressure off you and in the long long be in better in Health. YOu know me...I look at the good side of all.. Keeping hubby in prayers as he travels this week.
Annie - I understand about needing break... but don't stay away too long... You've never misspoke, I like you gals, cause you all tell it like it is..
Shad - I heard that too about the Rolling Stones. I heard last showed will be in Scotland. Hope your training goes well. I don't like it when I"m in training and we have all levels, sometimes I"m just sitting there going.. why am i here. I never thought of it from the side of the trainer...
Laura - do tell about the book... I heard that the Eroctia (sp) stores are selling out of whips and handcuffs. (I'm just saying).. I love going to Ikea, such a big store, gives me ideas of doing some things around the house.
Ceejay - I hope your feeling better.
Mel - glad to hear you had a good weekend.
Ellen - how is your mom?
Happy - your garden looks great! My tomatos plants are growing and I have a few tomatos coming out. I saw a squirrel the other day right above them on the fence. I'll have to keep an eye out. Glad to hear that Hubby is feeling better... get on to him for NOT telling you he was feeling bad...MEN...

Hi there,
My computer is slow and skipping. Not sure if it's the computer or the websites or the Internet. In any event, it's ANNOYING. We're getting a bit of sun in between the rain storms - and we've had plenty. Had a good thunder boomer last night that was really rattling the stuff in the house. I was folding laundry on the couch and watching the lightning. It would fire up a bolt up north and respond back with a bolt down south (we were in the middle of 2 storms). At one point there was vertical cloud to ground lightning just as a horizontal bolt streaked across the sky almost making a cross. I have never seen anything like that ever in my life. I guess it was the result of 2 sets of storm clouds. We're supposed to get another bad storm tomorrow and maybe more rain tonight. I have to get the tarp out of the garden, it's filled with water. Not much else going on.
Mel - I love your signature - you're getting pretty talented with the colors and graphics Glad you got your "wheels" back. Glad I don't delete old emails I liked your Have a Happy Day graphic too. Very cheery, I kept a copy
Hey Patty, how did your date go?
Michelle - So are you starting the new job on July 1? Sounds like you had a busy weekend. So it's just girls in the house with DH travelling?
Laura - with the heat you've been having I'm sure the poor dog is shedding like crazy. Do you have a kiddee pool for him to cool off in? That's great that you could sell your old bike rack. I am jealous of the farmers markets. We're supposed to have one up here but I think they didn't get enough vendors to make it worth while. Last July there was a girl selling the best strawberries from her truck. I hope she comes back. The strawberries at the store look nice but they and some other berries are molding up within 2 days of purchase. I am tired of tossing out most of the berries. Thinking it might be because they picked them and took a while to ship to the stores so they are older than they look. The berries from the truck are a local berry farm. I am a lefty too - dexterity is left, right for strength or if I couldn't teach myself to cross over. Was hard learning how to hook a rug at first I bowl righty too and found I have much more power in my swing if I golf righty too. Not that I've done either of those 2 things in years and years.
Ceejay - I used to keep a can or two of ginger ale in my desk for those days when the tummy was a bit off. Sometimes too if there's fluid in the ear can also make you feel off. Glad you are feeling better.
Shad - I hope the training is not going too badly. I looked up the Rolling Stones quitting too. Heard they were having issues - Keith Richards forgetting guitar riffs and such. Then again saw that oftentimes they say stuff and then retract it 2 days later so who knows what's going on? Kinda hard to accept these "rockers" in the 60s and 70s. I guess today is Paul McCartney's 70th birthday. Sounds like you have cool, but nice weather out your way. If only you could enjoy it.
I WENT FOR A RIDE YESTERDAY BUT IT WASN'T AS NICE AS THE ONE ABOVE.
THE AIR WAS SMELLING DECIDEDLY BAD AND I TURNED AROUND.
GUESS THE BAD AIR QUALITY IS ALREADY ON THE RISE.
I WAS ONLY DOWNSTAIRS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND I FELT IT LAST NIGHT.
I'LL HAVE TO BE AN EARLY MORNING RISER AND GET MY BUTT OUTSIDE
I MISS JOHN.....I USED TO WAIT FOR HIM OUTSIDE IN THE MORNING.
WE WOULD HAVE COFFEE TOGETHER AND THEN BREAKFAST.
ME WITH THE PROTEIN BARS AND HE WITH HIS ENGLISH MUFFINS.
THE RE-INSPECTION HAS FINALLY ARRIVED AND WILL BEGIN TOMORROW AT 9AM.
PRAYING WE PASS OR THERE WILL BE NO END TO THE COMMENT. SIGH.
HERE IS A FUNNY (ODD) NOTE.....
THRU ALL THESE CHANGES, THE ONES THAT I EXPECTED COMMENTS FROM ON MY LACK OF PARTICIPATION KEPT QUIET AND HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE.
THE ONES I TRUSTED ARE THE SNOTTY COMMENT ONES. ACTING LIKE I ABANDONED THEM.
AS JACK BENNY WOULD SAY.....WELL!!!!!!!! AND AS MELLIE SAYS....TFB!!
RICHIE CALLS TO CHECK UP ON ME.
I TOLD HIM I WILL CALL IF ANYTHING GOES AWRY.
I JUST CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS STUFF. FEELS SMOTHERING.
ALSO MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSURE OF MYSELF AND THAT'S GOTTA GO.
I TRIED TO CONVEY THAT I NEED MY INDEPENDENCE.
HOPE HE GOT IT CAUSE I AM NOTHING LIKE HIS MOTHER WAS!!!!!!
NOW IT'S TIME TO EAT AND THEN TACKLE THE FLOORS AND VACCUUM.
HAVE A GREAT DAY
CEEJAY.....I ALWAYS HATED COMMUTING TO WORK IN THE CAR TOO.
WELL LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE....ONLY A FEW MORE YEARS
THEN YOU CAN BE SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE SUN WITH SOME ICED TEA
OR MAYBE A LITTLE UMBRELLA DRINK!!!
HOPE YOU GET THE INFO FROM THE COUSIN. I EXPECT IT'S ABOUT THE BIPOLAR?
MICHELLE.......HOPE EVERYTHING GOES AS SMOOTLY AS IT CAN.
GLAD YOU HAD SOME TIME TO SPEND WITH THE FRIENDS FOR A SEND OFF
YOU MUST FEEL RELIEVED HAVING SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON NOW AND LET THE STRESS GO.
**FORGOT TO ADD THAT I HOPE DH DOES ALRIGHT WHILE HE'S OUT THERE TRAVELING & WORKING.
LAURA....THE WEEKEND SOUNDED VERY NICE.
ESPECIALLY SUNDAY....I ENJOYED THAT GOTTA LOVE THE FOOD!!
THAT'S WHY I'M OVERWEIGHT!!!! LOL
LOVE THE FARMER'S MARKET TOO. YUM!
SOMETIMES WE JUST NEED A WEEKEND & TIME AWAY FROM THE ROUTINES & RESPONSIBILITIES OF LIFE.
ENJOY THOSE TIMES.
PATTY.......I NEVER THOUGHT OF SQUIRRELS RAIDING A TOMATO PATCH.
WONDER IF HE WAS CASING THE JOINT OUT
HOPE WITH YOUR BUSY WEEKS THAT YOU FIND TIME TO JUST SIT AND BREATHE
HAPPY........I LOVE MY WHEELS!!!! AND THE HAPPY DAY GRAPHIC.
I THINK YOUR SQUIRREL MOVED TO PATTY'S HOUSE AND IS EYEING HER TOMATO PATCH!
THAT STORM SOUNDED FREAKY. SOMETIMES THEY SCARE THE BEJESUS OUT OF ME!
I CAN IMAGINE IN THE COUNTRY THE SHOW IT MUST MAKE WITH LESS CITY LIGHTS!!
JUST STAY OFF THE PHONE AND OUT OF THE BATHTUB!!!
MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN CHANGING PAGES & ASSORTED ODD THINGS.
BUT....I THINK IT'S THE WIRELESS MOUSE AND KEYBOARD.
I GOT THE OLD KEYBOARD OUT AND IT WAS FINE ALL DAY.
OUR CEL PHONE/RADIOS ARE ACTING WEIRD TOO.
ONE OF THE MAINT. MEN'S PHONES KEEPS CALLING ME ON & OFF.
EVEN WHEN IT'S SITTING ON HIS DESK.
MIND THE LIGHTNING
Feeling much better today. Don't know why the queezy stomach happened unless it is nerves. I really did enjoy my week end. Lots of good visits. When I got home last night I sat down in the recliner and went to sleep. Woke up at 4 a.m. wide awake. Did some of the chores I had planned for last night then got ready and came to work.
Michelle
Yes, Kennett, Mo is about an hour north of me. I'd like to go to Lexington, KY. I have a cousin that lives there. We don't have exit interviews here. If we give our two week notice we need to be prepared to not work the rest of the day.
Hope mum came through the operation just fine. Keeping fingers crossed for her.
BTW things are going better, I guess he must have been on edge about his health although last night laying in bed watching tv he got the heart thumping again - no pain, just racing. He told a "calm me down" pill and felt better today. He will see the doctor on Wednesday. 
How nice of the boys to bring you some treats to share. Must do that more often. As long as you don't have to deal with the smell of car exhaust! 
I am afraid if you drop it off you might miss go live and we can't have that. I'm thinking you will have a VERY busy rest of the month at the least. Hope you packed a bottle of wine for this trip. What a lovely description of the birds in the yard, how I'd love to see that. I hear you on the car although I'm thinking yours is newer than ours are. But you put more miles on yours.

YUMMY!!!!!
One of the racier books I've read...
Glad you got your "wheels" back. Glad I don't delete old emails
