It's the What's New Revue for Sunday
i love chinese food- don't get it enough!
our house showing yesterday was frustrating- he was almost 2 hours late but we did at least get a call.. he loves the house- but he's a single guy -maybe late 30's?? - and so his gears were turning the whole time he was here -not really sure what he thought! he spent a great deal of time in the basement and outside again- says he has to" wait a few weeks" as he is "coming into some money in a few weeks"- i commented that he should be sure to make an offer if he likes what he sees! i think he'll be back...
today i think some grocery shopping for us as well- trying to eat off the freezers in prep for the move but need bananas and baking soda and some other basics....
boss' daughter alexa has taken a turn again- her breathing is strange and she is having some "seizure like" symptoms... not sure what will happen-the family feels like they did 3 weeks ago that they may, indeed, lose her...
well-played on facebook a little-this morning ----- deleted all of my inbox from my cell phone yesterday by accident! mostly pics of the diff grands but there were 33 things in there!ouch!!!
brenda-roxie was standing behind michael's recliner last nite -pawing at it and crying--i was afraid of a mouse after our discussions of late on here!!! turns out she had lost two toys in the back of it when it was reclined--and one was amouse!!! goodness what we do for our babies!!!!!
well-sending special hugs and prayers........
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Now George, you are onto something with the title but shouldn't it be: The What's New Review? Or is Revue one of those entendres?
I have to say that I do feel so sorry for all of you guys who are watching your parents getting old or succumbing to the effects of Alzheimers. My mother died when I was a child and lately my two of my aunts were diagnosed with Alzehimers and one died and her children suffered through so much watching her forget even who she was and then one of my uncles has it too and I see what his kids are going through. I still remember how sad it was having to let go of my mom and I don't envy any of you that task.
Today I am making my hubby go on a walk with me. He is feeling better and cannot sit on his tush the rest of his life or his live will not be long, so I am making him walk with me. Also, later today, we are going out to eat and it's my turn to pick the movie so we are going to see My Sister's Keeper. Or How my mom had this baby and forced me to cannibalize her. Okay, that's so not it, but I'm interested in the morality and eithics of having one child to save the other.
After the movie, I think I will make him take me to the mall for some retail therapy and then home for our Sunday night read in. We both are avid readers but on Sunday night, we discuss one of the books that we've read the previous week. Sometimes, we read the same one and try and give our critique of it and analyze the author's reason for writing it; othertimes it turns into a book report of sort. When my grands are here, I have them read something too and they take a turn at giving a report. Mathew is just starting to read and he is still reading the Cat and the Hat books so we get a lot of and then the thing did this and thing two did that. LOL. Baby Girl just says weeee. So that's my Sunday.
Hope your days are stress free and that you guys get some rest so you can regenerate both emotional health and physical health for Monday morning.
I slept 10 hours last night, so I feel well-rested. Haven't done that lately, as I'm awaiting the decision on a different job I interviewed for last week.
Today:
First, read the Sunday paper, and make out a grocery list that I'll be sure to forget at home when I actually go shopping. Then get dressed, work out in the garden till it starts to rain..........again.........
Then wait for my girlfriend to come over to help me weed. Work on a brick walkway in the back garden. If it doesn't rain......again.
Shovel off the kitchen table, pay some bills, take a nap.
Maybe cook something, watch TV, go to bed.
God, I even bore myself!
THIS is why I seldom post!

Had a busy day yesterday... my father-in-law has an injured knee so I went to their house and weed-whacked the north 40 for them... then came home and worked on the front of the house... edging and weed-whacking and getting all the weeds out of the cracks in the driveway... then mowed the back yard too... now my dang back is killing me... had to get up last night and go sleep on the recliner ... it is really sore today... bleech... sure hope it feels better soon.
I worked in the shop too... made some pens... I have experimented with a lot of different shapes of this particular slim pen and never really came up with a shape I liked other than the normal-plain-old-shape of a regular pen... anyway.... this pen shape just sort of happened... and I really like it! ... because it is different and still comfortable to use.
Still settling into the Weigh****chers thing... my wife dove in head first and has all the books and menus and recipes... I am doing it a little slower... threw out most of the "bad" food and working on just eating healthy stuff, making good choices, and getting over the chocolate and crackers and other carb high foods I was eating. I have noticed a pretty dramatic increase in my energy level.... concentrating of (FINALLY!) changing my way of eating and thinking about food...
Gonna clean up some stuff today and install some new lights in the workshop... and hopefully make a couple more pens...
Hope everyone has a great day...
