ok its 0321 and its Thursday so what is new!!!!!

Hi all,
I cant sleep, been thinking about the family reunion I am planning with some of my closest cousins for next summer. It is consuming my brain!!!!!
I had a great time today with Ruth and Gail from Florida. We met at Red Lobster in Tampa. It was only an hour drive for me to get there.
Such wonderful sistahs!!!!!!!
Not much going on for today. I am going to see about a job at Great Clips. Carl told me I had to be grounded for a while!!!!! So I decided to go to work..... No rest for the wicked.
I had such severe abdominal pain from something I thought I was going to go to the er. But it has subsided!!!!! Maybe something was stuck!!!!! I drank some hot peperment tea and it was better.
Well talk on folks. Ill be back later........
Carla

morning! it is great when the gang can get together, eh? and now you have two more sistahs on your dance card!ruth posted a pic!!!sorry to hear you were in gastric distress-hopefully "it" is done now....hi to carl !!!!!

well- i am up- dang i wanna just go back to bed...these extra hours hurt-but the payoff will be worth it in the end!~~*~~ well, it didn't help two nites of staying up til 11 to watch all 3 episodes of the angels!!!!

michael has a dr appt  right after i get out of work today, so he has to get up to drive me again.-it's just the regular pcp and getting scrips written etc......the atty thing yesterday was not pleasant...but was expected to be that way--it's michael;that he cannot let go and move on about stuff-he just rehashes and rehashes stuff to death....

and the sad part of the day was giving up brody....he was excited to get back home and was marking his spot-everywhere! it was good to have a chance to talk with melissa again face to face! and he was missed terribly all nite here--it just is for the best...roxie isn't sure what is going on but she has momma almost all to herself again! i'm sure many of you wish that i would move on about this but he was a special gift in our lives!

so- i spent some quality phone time with michael's health ins last night about his prescriptions and getting them thru mail away...that should help once we get moved, until we can get a dr over there.and they gave me a phone number to call about hopefully easing his ins into a hawaiian company-only two are accepted there i guess-

oh! today is an anniversary of sorts for me- a double actually! 10 years ago today, danny and i (1st dh) got our divorce after 26 years together..and 9 years ago today was the first day that michael and i met face to face and started our life together ( we had met by accident online prior to that!)--te date thing was pure coincidence when it happened! 

wish i could sneak a power nap in here...but that doesn't work for me!

hugs and prayers....

Hey Margo I of all people no how hard it is to give up your animals. I had to give up 2 dogs over a year ago very quickly as the idiot I was living with at the time tried to kill me. When I gave up my dogs the hardest part is I have no idea what happened to them
and who has them. At least you know where Brody is & he will be taken good care of.
I kick myself all the time that I should have not panicked & kept my dogs, but, I also
might be dead if I had  stayed where I was.  You will never forget Brody & he will
always be in your Hearts. I don't go a day without thinking of my 2 dogs.

Carla - you are turning into our roaming sistah meeter & greeter. How fortunate for you and the sistahs who get the chance to meet YOU!!

Margo - big hugs. You did the right thing. He's in good hands.

I am so glad yesterday is over. My nerves were shot with anticipation of the appointment with the oral surgeon. The nurses commented that my outfit was color coordinated to the office and chair. (black bottom & purple top) They laughed when told I was in my JAMMIES.  

Kisses
Annette

I wear my pajammies to the store.  But, I put a bra on first.

Good morning all.  Stopping in late today, our computers at work were down for 5 hours.  How am I supposed to keep up to date with my friends here with no computer access?  What is it with this job?

Since I had no computer, I could do no work.  Could have been a boring night.  BUT....  I got a new phone today, so I was able to play around and learn alot about it.  It has CV on it, which is archived TV shows.  I watched Top Chef Masters season finale. 

Not much else going on.  Have a good day.

Carla, might not be any of my business, but why don't you go to work in a salon where you could make more money and not work like a slave to get it?  Even a place like JC Penney's has a beautiful salon, much higher prices (perms w/ h/c and style are about $90), and pretty good benefits. Good training in color and such, too.  Just a thought. Maybe we'll have a chat about it in Dallas.

Margo, I'm so glad Brody was happy to get to his new home. I'm sure it made you feel better about the whole thing. Sherlock is failing, isn't eating again, but Gary insists that he's just being a picky eater. How do I tell him he's firmly in the land of Denial? So sad.

Geoerge, honestly, how can you work in a place where you don't have computer access in order to check in on us? Worthless job!!!   LOL

Annette, leave it to you to go to the dentist in your jammies? Were they your formal ones you wear to support group meetings?  You make me laugh

Off to the grocery store this moring for more apples. The home made chunky applesauce I made on Monday was wonderful, great snack, and perfect for that sweet treat in the evening. I don't like the peels left on the apples, so peeling 5 lbs is rather tedious, but the end result is so worth it!

That, laundry, a little house work and then a trip to Dillard's to return the bathing suit bottom I bought last week It's just a little too low cut for comfort, and the one that I ordered from Land's End is much better. Then a stop at the beauty supply to restock on nail products. I've gotten 5 new nail clients in the last few weeks. Economy getting better.....when women start getting little extras done for themselves it means things are looking up. YIPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Everyone have a terrific day! Love ya

Good morning, Carla and my OFFer's. I hope that all is well with everyone today.

Nothing much happening here today other than Kayden is coming soon. I hope that he is in as good of a mood today as he was yesterday. He just laughed and talked and smiled all the time and there was very little crying too...that makes for a nice day in itself. I figured out that he doesn't like his swing so there is no more of that. He is just sitting in his little car seat now and likes that really well. So when he is put in there there is no crying...how I wish I had listened to Bill a long time ago when he kept telling me that he didn't like the swing. But no...I couldn't imagine him not liking that since I love swings. ha ha  He is here now and in a great mood...let's keep our fingers crossed that he stays that way!

I have such a headache this morning. I went to bed last night at 7 with such a blinding headache and today it is still there but settled right above my right eye...so it is from all this rain and we know that is sinus. Oh boy does it hurt too. It has been raining and raining and then raining some more. It is suppose to do this all the way through the week end so I guess my sinus better get use to it since it seems to be here to stay.

Nothing much is going on here today. I am hoping to get some of this stuff cleaned out and tossed...or at least most of it tossed. I am no sure how much more there is to toss but believe me...if it can be it is going to be! We are packing stuff as we go and hoping that it is going to make it easier when it comes time to move. I am sure that it is going to be easier...at least there won't be as much to pack but there will be to move. We are both looking forward to getting out of here. We are going to be calling Orchard Apartments and seeing what we need to do to get in there in April but I do think it is to call them in March and start the ball rolling. That is what they said when we looked at them earlier...and we planned on moving then but the time line was off. I am so paranoid about the time line....I am turning into a paranoid idiot already. God only knows what I am going to be when the time gets closer....OH DEAR!

I am going to be going. Kayden is getting hungry and so breakfast is needing to be made. He gets rice cereal and then his bottle. That is hard work..not. But he is getting fussy so I know that hungry is now his middle name.

I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too. Have a great day and don't forget to smile...it brings happiness to so many and that includes you too.

I had hoped to go grocery shopping at Wal Mart this morning, but it's raining and supposed to rain all day.....oh well.

I am having an egg sandwich for breakfast -- I rarely eat eggs as they don't sit too well, but so far so good.  Found a new bread from Healthy Life - it's called double fibre and only has 70 calories per slice.....whole grains and yummy toasted.

Have some laundry to do today, other than that guess I will take it easy.  Started a new Debbie Macomber book.     Oh yea, I have ground turkey thawing in the refrigerator.....I may make chili -- it's so dreary and nasty outside and cool in the house.....some hot chili sounds good!

I am starting to think I have restless leg syndrome......will try the bar of soap under the sheet to see if that helps.  Had to take a pill last nite to get to sleep and I need to stop doing that....they are a narcotic and I don't want to get hooked.

Have a good day, stay dry, and feel blessed,
Pat R.

OK, you got me.  What's with the bar of soap??
