Hey Ladies,
Wow the play was intense. IT was about a woman who thought she was loosing her mind cause her home was broken into and the person didn't steel anything of value,,,turns out it was an ex but he played mind games on her.
Jane, so did you get your wires done? I have Monte for part of tomorrow so he will be helping me paint...yay!

So strange about cravings eh? I craved crunching ice too,,,did that alot and found out that women who are anemic do that.
Anyways going to bed early...
night all

Happy, GORGEOUS, Saturday, Ladies!
 

Just a quickie ladies as I have a busy day ahead, but had to pop in and say Hi. :wave: Did end up going out to dinner (Red Lobster) after all so got all dressed and ready for something after all. Then headed over to the mall so DS could find some new shoes for work and get a haircut. I should have gotten one also but I think I have decided to let my hair grow out again, just grow and grow. Just so much easier to pull it back and twist it up. Anyway, have lots and lots of laundry to do today, plus yard work, and a book to finish. Tomorrow V has the whole day off so we are off to the cemetery which is an hour away so a good road trip, of course after Mass. I planted some bulbs out there and want to see if they are coming up like the ones around the house. Then we'll head on over to another cemetery while there to put some flowers on his moms grave. Too bad the weather is not supposed to be in the 70's like today. Anyway, starting to blab.

Marti~I probably won't be checking in before you and James head out for your trip to San Fran so...be safe and have a GREAT time.

Angie~glad the play was good. I haven't been to a play in ages, maybe one day. Glad you have Monte for part of the day. V is working today but I get him the whole day tomorrow! :love:

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Take care ladies and have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Real quick here for me too!!

Have some things to do today so I won't have much time to be on here....but I'll check back as soon as I get more time.

Just wanted to say "Hello"!


BBL

Hi ladies, :wave:

Cristi - hope you're having a good day with Vince today. Hope the bulbs will be up when you check them. Not sure why the cable to Katie's TV went out, but that's the one Neal replaced. She's happy that he did, lol.

Angie - did you ever see the old movie Gaslight? It's based on a man who does stuff to try and make his wife think she's going crazy. In psychology they even use the term "gaslight" for that. All I have to do to make Neal think he's going crazy is hide the remote, lol.

Ellen - want to share the recipe for Peanut Buttter squares? Sound good! Not something I'd want to keep around the house, lol, but would be good for a church carry-in. One good thing about WW is that by using portion control, no foods are off limits. So the future FIL is someone noteable, huh? Without giving his name, is he someone we'd know of? You are a wonderful, talented woman who has no need to feel nervous around the other family. Once you get to know them, it will be easier.

Marti - are you leaving on Monday? Whenever it is, have a blast!! Leave all your cares at home and just revel in each other. If you have time, I'd LOVE a postcard from SF, but if not, I understand.

Hi to the others.

I made a cake for Gina's birthday - white with cream cheese frosting. That's what she wanted. We're all going to meet up at DS's house for the celebration after dinner.

I've been copying some favorite songs off my CDs and burning new ones with just the favorites on them. One copy of each for the house, one for the van, lol.

Gotta run - have a great weekend!

Ok,


It is 12:30 and NO show Mike is a No Show......

We agreed to meet at a park in the village ( maybe he stopped by Katy's??? - lol) anyway..........emailed my lawyer, called his father, checked my email in case he emailed me , no messages on the phone.....

Ain't this a lovely way to spend a Saturday?? I will try one more time calling him and after that we are out of here!!

Chat later .......

Mike finally took Gaby at 2:00 pm, he was late to the park. I had left at 11:25 and I guess he arrived 10/15 minutes later.
We agreed on 11:00.
So, we meet at Burger King and he is in the back parking lot. I pull up and can see Gaby starting to smile.
She knows her father.
I got her out of the car and she let him hung her- she pointed to Burger King and said "play".
Mike said he didn't have any money for that.
By now I am exhausted and didn;t offer any money. So we load her things over to his pick up.
She starts to cry and cling to my leg. I put her in the carseat and said that I loved her, that she is going to the beach and will have fun.
She covers her eyes with her hands and cries.
Mike picks up a thick pocket book and says he is reading it. I couldn't see the title, but said "thats nice."
He said it is about self esteem.
I just say "oh good".

Why he is telling me this I don't know. He said he had to get back to the coast by 3:00 pm which gives him an hour to drive 90 miles.

I just watch them leave and she is looking out the window looking in my direction.

Miss her tonight.

I did talk with an old friend, so that was nice.

Poppin in for a minute before I go off to bed.

Got tons on laundry done and did some shopping for things we needed at Wally world.

Sorry I haven't been on here posting, just been busy. I went to see my grandpa today to visit and see if I could borrow a suitcase...he was busy working on the house trailor next door for my sisters in-laws...they plan on moving there for a few months....or longer have no idea how long. Would be good I suppose, but I'm not a big fan of my BIL family. They are a close family and aren't really into outsiders...at least that's how I see it.

I did get to visit my sister though. Seen little Lucas...smiling up a storm! So cute.

I'm going to be really busy before I leave Monday so I may not have time to post...but I will try to.

I'm off to bed.

Night all!

It's Over
 

The trials and tribulations with my sister are at a end. She passed friday night in her sleep at the nursing home. I had seen her that afternoon and though she couldn't respond I still sat there for about an hour before saying goodbye . A friend who also knew her is going to go with me to spread her ashes. I have desided that we'll drive along the Pacific Coast Highway till we find a suitable turn out and say a final fair well there. It's a spectacular drive,as I remember, and I'm sure there'll be some place suitable. :crossed:

I'd thought the dieting was a desaster but somehow I actually lost another 3 lbs. Don't ask me when.

Feeling blue. I knew this would happon and am thankfull her suffering has ended but miss knowing she's in the world and all the regrets of a life she could of had but missed out on. So sad. So much lost.

Dear Pam
I am so sorry to hear about your sisters passing, finally she is free of her tortured life and pain, it is sad that her life was so sad and such a loss , hopefully now she is truly at peace, I know that you miss having her in the world with you, all my thoughts and prayers are with you, You were a wonderful sister, and you did all you could do,and I am sure inside her heart she knew that ,((((HUGS TO YOU EDDIE AND FAMILY)))

Hi ladies,

Pam - so sorry about your sister. I'm so glad your friend is going to help you with things. (((HUGS))) to you!

Marti - Have fun!!!!!!!

Susan - aww, so sorry it was hard leaving Gaby. Sweet little thing!! I don't know what else to say......

A big hello to the others.... :wave:
