Good Sunday Morning Gang!
Okay yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....I just got up a while ago...can you say sleep in for me? Yep I did and would still be sleeping if I didn't have a stinkin headache! Like what is up with that? Can my body just give me a break? Nope didn't think so LOL!
Anywho...can anyone tell the weather out here in the desert to cut it out? Yesterday it was over 90. I have put all my summer clothes away and felt miserable...not to mention I am NOT putting shorts on with white legs....I let my tan go!
I went out a bit yesterday....braved the stores....didn't get much...bought some clothes for my grandkids and that was the story she wrote. Had to go back to Ross's for these really cool red mugs I bought my friend as my other friend BROKE them...and drats...they were all gone. At Ross's and Target....OMG things were hell of picked over too! I am sure it is that way everywhere right now.
I was talking with my dil last night and we both argree we are NEVER going to go in that ToysRUs store again....makes it hard to get toys then...but we are creeped out that two guys killed each other there.
So what are your plans for the day? Anything good....no don't tell me shopping...that is work. Some of you have decorated already....I am still debating about it....last year Monica P bought me this gorgeous ornament and forced me to decorate....I am such a bah humbug about decorating and getting in the spirit...someone...help me...I need an intervention! LOL
Sick as this sounds...I am looking forward to going back to work...I seem to have so much more motivation to get things done then....I was a basic schlub my whole time off...although I did get a bunch of ceramic stuff done! So today I can start doing the 2nd process to this plates I am thinly mosaicing for decorative bowls.
Have a great day everyone and remember to still keep LuLu sister in your thoughts and prayers because even though she has crossed a major hump....she still needs our help!!! LuLu...if I had a sister....I would pick on you....you are really true blue!

Good Morning Janine & Everyone,
Well I am up, awake not sure. I didnt sleep for nothing last night, but have to get my body back into schedule over the next few days. I did discover yesterday when I had my support garmet down that I still have loose skin that hangs over. What the $%#^? Sent my day into a rather deep depression and didnt do much of anything besides stay in and cry. I did send an E Mail to my Plastic Surgeon. Today I am trying not to think about it because on Sunday there is nothing I can do. Today I have to go to the grocery store, some of the stuff would be cheaper at Wal Mart, but NOT going there. Try to be a tolerable person and spend time with family before they leave. Nothing much else planned, taking it easy and healing.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday. Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

i'm off to storage today to get the bed and kitchen stuff to bring to the new house tomarrow.. i can't wait to sign the lease.. i'm gonna make a couple of loads tomarrow but we're renting a truck next weekend to get the bulk of things... so that's what i'm doing today.. oh and i got to make sure all the laundry is done..
last night we went to a hockey game at the stockton arena it was pretty cool.. the thunders did lose but i was awsome and cold...brrrrrr.... the ironic thing is this is the first time we went and now were moving away from stockton so know if we want to go to a game we have to travel back to stockton to see one... hahaha... but that's cool...
lulu my heart goes out to your sister i hope she recovers nicely...
i hope everyone has a great day peace out....
Re:ToysRUs...turned out those guys were after each other to begin with...it wasn't a fight over a toy thank God. But I am very thankful all my kids are too old for toys r us...I prefer shopping online for toys anyway. You know it hasn't been picked over. I even get the stocking stuffers at Overstock.com.
We drove down Wakefield court in Saugus yesterday...all the homeowners are busy putting up the block's award winning Christmas lights...stringing them accross the street. It is a beautiful place for a December post-cocoa drive. One upstairs window displays the "leg lamp" from the Christmas Story movie. Toys4Tots drive barrels on both ends. I just don't understand how limo drivers get those stretch cars around that cul-de-sac on a busy Saturday night!
Today is my day to get my xmas tree. I have been on a cleaning- decluttering kick all weekend and now feel ready to take on the tree/decorating project. Had a good week off for vacation and think I'm ready to head back to work, might regret saying that by 9:00 tomorrow morning. Things are well, slow and steady but consistent!
Be safe while shopping everyone, there's crazies out there!

This morning is not a good one for me. Yesterday my mother turned into some evil Monster and said the most horrible things to me. It so reminded me of my childhood. She was going for the jugular and it was not pleasant. I was shocked and still can't figure out what set her off to this extreeme. She said she did not want to live with us any longer, and I said I think that is a good choice let me help you pack. She said she wanted to leave that very moment and I had my husband drive her to my sisters house. My sister said she was waiting for the call as this is what my mother does, causes drama and hurts all those around her and moves on. She said the most vile hurtful things. My sister asked me if I would take her back into my home if she apologized and I said I could not as of late she has been calling my children names and saying hateful things to them so it is over for me. You see my mother did not raise me, I was raised by her mother. My mother did not want me in her life until she needed me. But when I called her on her lies and wrong doings, she could not get out of my house fast enough. It is going to be a tough few weeks coming up trying to get the rest of her things over to her wherever she may land. But I know it is best that this one-sided relationship needs to end. This chapter is over for her and I. I have already forgiven her, but I just can't allow her into my life again. Thanks for listening.

Yesterday, I worked out in the garden for a little while, got the bike unloaded, putted around the block without the brain-bucket he-he
and came home parked it. Then I went online to find the perfect design for the fuel tank. Going to go take the seat off and checkout leather prices.
Have a great day all
HUGS
