Good Windy Saturday Morning Gang

I was dreaming like Dorothy.....clicking those red heels and uttering the words.....I wanna go home....I wanna go home!!! OMG the wind is so bad here that my big ole house is shaking with the big gusts! Yesterday evening when I left to go to my son's to watch that movie A Country with no men or something like that...you know the one that Javier someday won and it won best picture, well my car and Jeep were covered with sand so bad that you could not see out of the windows!!! I had to pull out and let the wind blow it off to see!!! I do not know how high the gusts are, but they have to be 40+ to be shakin the house like it is!!  It was also white out from the blowing sand over the wash and of course.....guys with their big trucks that are jacked up so high that you would have to have  a step ladder to get into them raced over the wash doing probably 60+ mph....idiots!!! Anywho...that movie...extraodinarily VIOLENT....hated it......spent most of the jumping and not looking....but got to hold my sweet faced grandson.....so that made up for it!! When I got home last night....my charming dog as usual met me at the garage door....and we thought cool, they have been good...well didn't see anything initially...but as a came around the counter in the kitchen and still didn't see anything until I let out an oh "s***" and this is what I saw: they had dragged the pillow off the futon in my guest bedroom and had a party! I am sure the dogs thought they hit the motherlode of all fuzzies when they ripped this pillow apart. Actually I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see them have this party. All I can say is I am glad I keep my leather sofa's covered unless there is company!!!!  My dogs are like kids when they do not feel they get enough attention. I feel bad about it and this is also a response to them being jealous over my grandchildren coupled with the fact there has been no walking for them because of the weather! GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Boards have been kind of quiet I would say.....even the SP's are kind if quiet..what gives kids? Actually Katt....been thinking about you as I have not seen you on the boards lately and then you popped up!!! I hope that things are alright with you! Jeni....don't give up gf....like I said you have not been around here long enough to know all the people here who have had to fight to get their surgery....LOTS..in fact Miss Ladybug aka Anabelle fought for a couple of years and just had her surgery!!! Just be super pro active and it will happen!!! I do hope that your birthday did turn out better than it started!   Diane it was great seeing you post on the boards...I miss you being here as you keep it so real and I will be seeing you sometime soon because spring break is on the horizon and I am going to be foot loose and fancy free! Please continue to keep Lori C and her family in your prayers. They truly are going through such an ordeal with her dads health. I really admire all of their strength as I know all too well how hard it is to help an ailing parent as well as many of you here do....sometimes literally helpless! I know Lori is completely grateful for your support! So I guess there is going to be coffee clatches today and what else gang? Parties? Dancing? Relaxing? Pampering? How about shopping? (a lot of ours favorite pass time!) I thought of you the other day Jean when I dropped nearly 2 big bucks on MAC products..OMG my favorite too!!! Although I hate it when they have these products that are only limited editions...sometimes when they do....I go on line and order them and stock up direct from the company. Especially when it is a good colored lipgloss! Well my day is going to consisted of having Miss Molly de-fuzzed at a new groomers! I let her hair grow in the winter, but after this week being in the 90's she needs to lose the coat!!! Besides her poofro is getting obnoxious. The I will be watching Miss Ava too this morning because her parents have to work. Mom is a stylist and dad...well he picks up as many side jobs as he can because he has been going to school and only working a couple of days of week...hence leaving mom broke if you know what I mean!   Of course how could I complain babysitting I ask....I am sure you all know that I give up whatever to do that! Thinking about a lot of you.....and hoping that ALL of you have a wonderful Saturday not matter what you do!!! PEACE OUT!!!!    

Good Morning Janine, and the rest of this wonderful supportive peeps......

Not much going on today, just working. I had a tuff time sleeping last night, I am not sure why. Other then Max and his OCD about licking his feet. At about 4 this morning, I gave up and made him leave the room. But at that point, I was awake, so I got up and now I have a headache. I think I am going to have to take something to get rid of this thing. UGH!

12 hours of work today and I already dont want to be there, so today is going to be a LONG day. UGH! I want to cry.

I do wish you all a wondeful day. Take a moment and thinking of yourself. Do something speical for you.

Good morning Janine and all my other cali buds OMG Janine - I have to say I had a chuckle (sorry) when I looked at the picture of what your fur kids did.....and they aren't even puppies are they?  WHat a mess..... Well today for me is going with my sis to take her grand daughter (my precious great niece) to her Barbizon modeling class in Costa mesa - and since it is so close to South Coast Plaza, we are going to Bloomingdales while she is at her class...and they have a fab MAC counter - like I need more - NOT - but since sis has a gift card for Bloomies, we are gonna pay them a visit. Then this afternoon is coffee with the LB group and I am so looking forward to it cause it looks like we will have some new comers which is always great - I love meeting new OH friends. Thats it for my Saturday. So everyone have a great day and wear some weights in your shoes so you don't get blown away.... Hugs to all

Good morning Janine and Cali! Today is a couple of the usual errands - WallyWorld and groceries. Then Sammi and I will head over to Lompoc to a clothing exchange. We are hoping DH is working in Lompoc today cause we would like to catch up will him for a smooch. He hasnt' called yet this morning so I'm just not sure where he is yet.  That sure is quite a mess your furbabies left for you. Kandy isnt' allowed in the house right now and she's been taking to turning the back hedge into toothpicks lately. The good thing about this is DH doesnt have to trim it. LOL  I think we will take Kandy with us today. She loves to go in the car. My guts have been kinda screwed up for the last couple of weeks. I'm starting to wonder if I've been eating something that doesn't agree so today I am back to basics to see if it will help. I'm tired of not feeling well. Enjoy those grandbabies Janine. Sammi say****oo. Hope you all enjoy your day! Sue

morning- we are going to hit the road in about an hour or so.  I am kind of dragging butt because of that drive- oh well.  My 2 youngest were up at 630 and got themseleves all dressed and ready to go.  They are pretty darn excited to go see their meme and papa and have an easter egg hunt in the back yard. anyway, gotta do some major stretching for my back, shower, get the car loaded up....oh ya- wake up the oldest.  lol My folks don't have internet, so i have to find ways of getting signals from around their house- if you all don't hear from me too much, that is why.  If I haven't posted anything by say, noon, on Monday if someone wants to do the What are you Thankful for post, that would be swell.  Maybe if people see a new face, they will post more! Okay- everyone stay safe and have a great weekend!

oh my gosh, janine...i would have also loved to see your doggies when that pillow exploded... great picture!! Thanks so much to you and all the Cali pals for the prayers for me and for my family... Dad is sooo much happier being at home... it's been quite an ordeal for my mom and sister to keep up with all of his IV medical needs, but as of 4pm Friday, he can STOP the antibiotics, which is fabulous news!  Now, he only needs his food bag changed and that's only one time per day... We just don' t know where all of this will go...well, of course, ultimately we do know... it's just a question of how long dad can continue to fight all of this ailments, and how long he will WANT to fight... But, today is a good day...and I get to have some time to clean my own house, and play with the LB OH friends at 3pm...totally looking forward to that... again...dad and me and the whole family thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your love and prayers... Lori

Looks like you had snow inside your house last night.  I think you need to make a dog friendly room and that is where they will stay when you go out.  I had a small dog when he was a pup eat the left arm out of every piece of furniture we had, but that was only once, we figured he was a left pawed dog. All my other dogs never chewed, I always made sure that they had tons of stuff to chew on other than shoes or furniture.   Physical therapy is going well.  Tough and lots of pain on the inner part of the knee, but I have some great extensions and bend in my knee.  They did an ultasound yesterday to see if there were any clots because of this weird pain I was having.  That came back neg, THANK HEAVENS, so just going to keep on progressing and not take a step backwards.  About 2 more months and I will be like I was 5 years ago before all this started. I hope that everyone stays warm today.  No wind here but dang it is cold.  I mean COLD.  I thought I was going to have to pack up the sweatshirts last week, good thing I was just laying around in bed and couldn't do it.  Burrrrrrrrrrr! Hugs, Diane

So happy to see you up and posting my dear, I know your doing your darndest at rehab- love ya, Chris

Good morning, Jean was right WOW that is some thing I would not want to come home to. Sorry I am not posting to this till Monday, no internet at home.  Hugs, Lisa...
