Went to the Naval Air Museum yesterday, a nice rainy day activity for a very rainy day. It is a very comprehensive museum. We didn't take the guided tour or the bus tour cuz it would have been too hard for my dad. We just walked around on our own. DH loved it cuz he's really into planes/war/machines. As for me, I'm glad I didn't have to pay an admission. I enjoyed watching a video by the astronauts showing 0 gravity effects.
Today DH is off golfing so we're stuck at home w/no car. It's been drizzly off and on so don't know what kind of conditions DH will find at the golf course. My dad needs a day of doing nothing between outings so this will work out fine for us.
Well what a week. We are trying to get the finishing touches done on the new building so that we can start production next week, and Alvin & Mark have been spending all their time over there, so that has left me to more or less run things at the main building. I hate to make decisions, and my brain feels fried. Also since Alvin will be so involved in the manufacturing end of things, I'm having to learn to do a lot of the things that Alvin has been doing and I'm having to set up procedures, and "systems" of how to do things because they were just second nature to Alvin, but it's all Greek to me. Added to that is the fact that Alvin has just let things stack up because he didn't have time to get to them, and I've had a mess. But I think I'm beginning to get a handle on it, and about to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Other than that, not much is going on. I'm still going to the health club every morning so at least I;m gettting my exercise in.
Siwa: Glad you enjoyed parts of the Air Museum. My dh lives breathes eats sleeps, airplanes. He even likes to read sales catalogs of airplanes. So over the years I have had my share of going to air museums, and air shows, etc. The Pensacola one, I have to say I did enjoy. We did take the guided tour, and the guide was very interesting. He was a retired Navy pilot and had some interesting stories to tell.
I may be among the missing now and again, as I'm working on taxes. but it has to be done and dh is not into that at all. The faster I can get it done, the quicker we can get a refund, if we have one coming. Sure hope so.
Hope things are going well with everyone. Talk to you later. Ann
p.s. Read a clever recipe for giving a 'faux' giant hershey kiss. Make the rice krispie treat, and pack it into a funnel, which has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Then wrap them in foil, and when you twist the foil, stick in a Valentine message. And it looks like a giant kiss. Ann
lizzie, what a cute idea for a hershey kiss treat and not al the calories either!
Barb, my mom had to do the same things when she started working with my dad, seems they never got caught up! I saw the snow on the news....I like those wet sticky ones!
Siwa, I would have liked the gravity thing too, sounds like you are having a good visit. Do you miss going to Curves or is there one close there too?
Got the cat to the vet for her shots and then she got sick everywhere! Good thing I had a rug under her carrier. Got her settled at home then went back to town to the craft mall to find sale items, lots of snowmen! Found some Valentine cookeis too! Oh No!!!!!!!!! We had pizza tonight, don't have it very often....so good.....
Barb, your snow made our NH local news Sat. night! They said that Dallas got anywhere from 2"-5" of snow. How much snow did you get?
We were supposed to pass papers on the cottage on March 1st. But, as usual the surveyor has not done what he was supposed to, and hopefully the buyers will sign yet another extension. If it was remotely possible, I would like to treat him this way when it was time to pay his bill.
BARB--Sounds like you were enjoying the snow. I can understand that because you don't have to look at the stuff for 6 months. I prefer to escape it myself.
CANDICE--I'm walking on the beach or treadmill instead of Curves. I'm looking forward to returning to Curves cuz it will be a good change for my body. There's one a few miles away but I prefer beach walking while I can.
ALICE--I know what you mean about revenge but we nice folks merely talk about doing such things. We would never even think of doing what your surveyor is putting you thru. He is one of many "tests" in your life and it sounds like you'll be passing the test.
CANDICE--Last time I was gone from Curves for an extended time I did not get sore when I returned but..........it felt like all the machines had been tightened. In reality, it was I who had been loose. LOL I expect that it will take a week or so to get back into the swing of Curves.
Yes, snow in Dallas is very unusual. We get ICE almost every year, but snow like this one is very rare. Today I waws tempted to put the top down on my car! That's how carzy the weather can be here! I might add that by the time we got off work at about 2:30 Saturday afternoon, it was mealting and nasty looking, mixed with all the dirt! But Saturday morning was what postcards are made of!
Hi:
Siwa: Are you posting long posts under quick reply or advanced? When I wrote it too long in quick it just stopped allowing me to type any more. I love beach walking too, and it is so good for your feet.
Today we are having gray and misty weather, and getting cooler again but we are told that by the weekend it will warm up again.
Alice: Can't you just pay him half and then let him wait a week or two until you complete the payment? Devious thinker that I am.
Candice: I love pizza too, and once in a while we splurge and go to an all you can eat pizza place called Cici's Pizza. They have every type of pizza you can imagine and some you never thought of, as well as a salad bar, and dessert pizza. Fun now and again.
Got taxes ready for the accountant, I think. That will be the next appointment. Hope we get some money back."D"
Who is going to be brave and start a new thread? See you tomorrow. "wave" Ann
