I got stiffed in the eyelash department, although they are very dark, so I guess that makes up for their dearth.

Those little watermelons are surprisingly good -- very juicy and sweet. I think Sams has a lot of good ideas for gifts, too. I made notes of what I wanted while I was there...

I spent 2 hours trying to decide what color jacket I should exchange my new LLBean barn jacket for. It's "British Khaki" and it's too yellowish. DD says light blue. It took me 2 hours to figure out she was right.

How about the Lemon Drop recipe? I need to try out my new pitcher...

Too DAM busy to post
But I will anyway. Busy with bookworm birthday crapola. You give them an inch and they take a yard, or however that saying goes. Next time anyone calls wanting ME to call other people and persuade them to bake cakes I will make use of spy phone and pretend not to be home.

I am forced use copious amounts of cheap semi-permanent hair dye from the drugstore, for I have not been blessed with long, taffy-coloured hair but rather with floppy mousy-brown hair that makes me fade into the woodwork. Nor can I afford to shell out the big bucks at the Beauty Silo. Doin' ok in the eyelash department, though. Thank the higher power of your choice for small mercies.

Besides the fact that she makes a mean cheese dip, our adorable, long-lashed, skinny-as-a-rake Wabby is living proof that exercise works! Darn. Must do some sometime.

Light blue is fabulous! Those khaki colours can be so tricky.

I will be SO glad when this week is over. I'm thinking about taping my mouth closed with duct tape so I won't stress eat between meals. That's how fat I am.

Thank Yuh Jesus fer Wabby and Sugah's Eyelashes!!
just in case you are interested in the pain and discomfort of others {me of course}---i had a VERY uncomfortable procedure performed on my LIP yesterday---I had this thing that seemed like a long skinny cyst that was irritating the inside of my upper lip---naturally i asked about it last april and naturally it took til end of September to see a Plastic Surgeon and of course it took til YESterday to get a clinic appointment {we have "free" medical care but unless you are dying you have to WAIT}---Anyway---i had two LONG and SKINNY needles slid into my lip {"DON'T MOVE OR WE HAVE TO START OVER!!!}--To freeze the nerve or what ever and then they put a cloth
OVER MY FACE!!!! with a hole for them to work on===i am SOOO claustrophobic i made them move it a little so i could at least peek out the hole----ANYWAY---they got the "thing" out and now my mouth is puffed out with stitches itching and i look like someone who misjudged their collagen implants {and installed them themselves}---AND IT HUUUUURTS----okay --now for the upside----my mouth is too sore to eat. AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T STALK MY CANADIAN IDOL YESTERDAY---HE WAS EVEN AT HUBBY'S TV STATION AND I COULD HAVE "JUST HAPPENED TO DROP BY" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GROSS.{THE THING in my mouth was a "calcified" artery----how is that for DISGUSTING!!!!

Eeeeeeeew!
My goodness, Bagzie! Poor you. I would have passed out when they put the thing over my face. Thank goodness they got the THING out and at least knew what it was. Maybe you'll get a chance to see your fabulous new boyfriend when your lip isn't puffy any more.

Went to the doc today and my blood pressure is still high so next week I have to wear one of those 24 hr monitor thingies. Ugh. How convenient. I also have fluid in one of my ears. Yippee. Once you hit 40 you go downhill FAST, I tell ya.

Dh is being a hudda-head this week. No fun for him. He just doesn't get that it takes two to make a relationship. Pthhh. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow when I get more than 3 hours of sleep like a got last night. Hurricane force winds outside and just general crappy, depressing November weather. Must dig out my Wellies.

Peachy! I promise I'll mail ya when the bookworm thing is finally over!!

You poor thing, I hope it heals fast. I had to have a "procedure" done last Friday -- on my birthday -- at the gyn. office. Actually it didn't hurt, she just snipped a polyp or something. But geez, all this medical stuff is getting kind of ominously frequent, wouldn't you say? How udderly annoying. Here's the flip side of the "free" med. care situation: my regular gynecology checkup may cost me $185 because my stupid insurance company claims I should be having it at my "primary care physician" Oh no, I don't think so, people, I will not be standing in stirrups with the family doctor. Insurance companies are evil.

Lord, that sounds like a real fun way to spend the week. I'm picturing the thumping of your heartbeat reverberating in the fluid in your ear. You think you weren't getting any sleep this week, just wait, eh? My blood pressure is up too. I guarantee it has to be stress. We should both get a prescription from the doctor saying that our DHs have to follow prescribed activities for our health: take out the garbage, say only nice things, take care of the kids for a while every day (or my case stop butting in every conversation with her when I'm trying to make simple arrangements), bring us little gifts, limit guitar playing to 30 minutes (oh, that's probably just me), help with the dishes, do the yardwork... it's all for our health, how can they refuse?

Later gators.

This color is Dim Gray and it fits me. I am gray and I am dim. I don't know what to do about my hair. I could have it streaked like Bagz's boyfriend, I guess.

Sugar, what's with your bp and is Wabby's up, too? What are you eating? I demand to know. Is it all those sausage and potatoes and beer? I didn't lose weight this week although I was very good except for the bag of chocolate I ate.

Bagzz , 11-19-2004 02:28 PM

Wabby , 11-19-2004 02:37 PM

Oh cowsies, I didn't say a thing about my blood pressure or wearing a monitor. That was Kiwi and Sugar. Reading glasses are next on our list. I haven't even been around for days because I'm having trouble getting on to 3fatchicks thru my new internet connection. I don't know what to do, because AOL won't work soon. Does anyone else feel like this website has more spyware and pop ups connected to it than anywhere else on the web??? I hope I don't get banned for that comment.... back to the blood pressure... mine is high if I don't take meds for it. I'm hoping I can get rid of the pills if I stick with the exercise. I did 4 mile super challenge yesterday (1 hr or exercise!!) and 2 miler today. and I've dipped the scale into the 140's!!!! just barely in the 140's - 149- but I'm feeling pretty happy about it. I'm hoping I don't do too much damage over the Thanksgiving holiday.

I go to my general practitioner for gyn exams, but I picked her because I figured I'd feel comfortable with her in that regard. She's very bright, very nice and in her 30's.

Bagzie, I want a Christmas card!!! Lots of Christmas cards. I guess that means I'd have to actually get my act together and send some out.

since you ask Baggie-bottom, I'm on the South Peach diet. I really am happy with it as it's the way I like to eat mostly.

Wabbo, no reading glasses yet? I will be happy to get my new everything-glasses next week. I think. Maybe.

Bagzz , 11-19-2004 04:00 PM

Cowpernia , 11-19-2004 04:19 PM

Fruit? Who cares about fruit? I want chocolate. Anyway, it's only restricted for two weeks, I think. Do you have my current address? Don't mail it wrong like you usually do. And put pictures of kids in it. Load it up!
