Nice nails Liz! I'm living this FL weather so far but am surprised how chilly the mornings and evenings are. I actually have to sleep with socks on and a good weight blanket is on the bed as it feels so cold!
Pretty relaxing day today. DH and I walked the VRBO neighborhood, spent a lot of the day pool side, drove around the community we will be moving in to and checked out another tiki bar restaurant for dinner. Drinks were better at tonight's but the one we went to the other night had better food. They are literally 2 doors down from each other, so we could always do drinks at one and eat at the other. I guess both have live music often.
Tomorrow we are going to check out a church and then have our final walkthrough late afternoon.
I've been ordering patio furniture, a makeup vanity for the master bedroom, and some decorations for the house. More to come but I need to measure spaces first!
I like the nails a lot Liz. Years ago I used to get acrylic nails, and while they were pretty, I agree they were expensive and time consuming. I did not enjoy appointments because they were so booooring. Pedicures I like, but manicures are tedious.
But now I see I am an outlier in our group. I LOVE pepperoni pizza. But I'm also happy with just cheese, or a veggie pizza. Just no sausage please.
Yes, today I tackled the fridge. It looked pretty good in that I didn't really need to throw out stuff, but the interior and handles needed a good scrub down. Doing more laundry, and I also found a basket of clothes that currently fit my Mom crammed in a closet in the guest room. I sorted through it with her, and folded the ones she wanted to keep and put them in the rotation with the other clothes she wears.
It's been two long, long days. I'm hoping my Dad is back by 4pm tomorrow. I am using my disassociation skills to remain kind of numb and teflon. Last night my Mom woke me up 3 times to help her with things like she couldn't get her blanket over her feet, she was thirsty, and she wanted an orange. She doesn't really sleep for more than a few hours at a time.
That's all the news from here. Looking forward to my house tomorrow.
Fun picture of you Diane! And yes, final walk through tomorrow and closing and move in on Monday!
Those hot flashes can be miserable! My worse ones are at night and I'm whipping covers off so fast!
I have to say again, that haircut/style looks really great. The skirt is indeed fashion forward!
Here I am this morning making a fashion statement:

Big sun today. Not sure where the rain went. It will likely return (or is on the way to Disneyland to torture Peps).
The veggie pizza was great! More tonight. My opinion on pizza meat is that it sucks. Pepperoni is too peppery and so salty and processed you don't know what it is. Ditto other pizza meat - little brown pellets of who knows what. Ham is ok because it is identifiable. But mushroom, olives, artichoke hearts, bell pepper, onion and all that stuff is the best. In my former life when I used to cook I used to make Pacific pizza which had no tomato - a cream cheese topping with smoked salmon and chives.
Those nails are lovely Liz. Really look nice. Some nail decorations are way too punk for me. Yours are elegant.
Gym and football are the only plans today. Skipped gym yesterday due to the purse dumping deer avoiding extra trip incident. There are a lot of deer in our town - this one ran across the main drag- and I have seen them on our street. I hit one about 10 years ago and orphaned a fawn. That deer must have had its head on the road edge as I never saw it and no car damage. I guess they come into town just to eat people's gardens. There is plenty of wild land here.
DD sounds like you are making "good trouble" at your Mom's. But lord, you gotta find that tv password. Years ago I wanted to clean out your mom's bathroom cupboard and she would only permit it if she sat there and approved everything I threw out. That cupboard had an entire trashcan full of expired cold pills, hemorrhoid cream, vitamins and cough syrup. I had to read every expiration date out loud to convince her it should be tossed. So I feel your pain. Have you started the refrigerator yet?
Crud CC a hot flash. Sorry for that. I managed to escape that. Gonna get some meds? Glad you found some stuff.
Paula one more day to get into your house? we can't wait.
Deer meat on a pizza anyone?
Well, that treadmill won't walk itself.

Fun evening at the pottery festival. Wow, some really talented artists! Liz, it was at DA Ranch again. Funny moment, I was talking to a man I know and suddenly had a hot flash where I had to get out of my sweatshirt IMMEDIATELY before I spontaneously combusted - no small feat with a frozen right shoulder. So I started to wriggle out while sweat is breaking out on my face, my friend Cathy is pulling down my shirt so I don't flash everyone, which was sweet, but also making it harder to get out of my sweatshirt. Suddenly, Ed looks around frantically and mutters, I need to go talk to (mumble) and runs away. It made me laugh! I told his wife later that I was sorry to make him uncomfortable, but I had to get free of the extra layer. She thought it was hilarious. i ended up buying a few things, none of which I needed.
Today I walked Kirby early as I have a facial scheduled this afternoon. I need to stop spending money like this! Life is short, but it wouldn't hurt me to rein it in bit.
I need to pack up a present to send to a friend today at the post office, so probably should go get on that.
Take care all!
