~ Monday Blues ~

The only thing blue about today was the look of the water in my parents pool.  Never did make it out the beach.  Steve had a few things to do and didn't get done quick enough to take the ride, enjoy the day, and get back for a nap before work at 11.  Since I was off we had really wanted to just hang out a bit together, so we decided to invite ourselves to my parents.  LOL  Yes those are pictures of my 'baby.'  You can tell as he was floating he had enough of the camera! 

 

It was a beautiful day to hang out in the sun, float, and then hide under the cover of their patio out back.  I'm not one to sit and bake in the sun all day.  How things have changed.  I can remember growing up.  We had a pool in our backyard and I would lather up in baby oil and lay in the sun until I sizzled like bacon.  When I could stand it no more I'd jump in to cool off.  My father hated it!  The oil would slide off and float to the top leaving an iridescent film.  Multiply that by the 5 girls.  Ewwww

Then the hair in the filter.  OMG!!!  At one point he said enough and wanted us to wear our hair up.  We cheated more often then not on that one, but it was better then a bathing cap, eh?  How sexy would that look?  ROFL  That is a thing of the past with me.  I just can't do it.  Even before I got sick it took a toll on me, but now, forget it.  My skin crawls no matter what level of sunscreen I use, my head aches, and I get nauseous for days.  Not worth it!  So I take my milky white skin and enjoy myself as much as possible.  It's not good for you anyway.

 

After a couple of hours my brother and his wife showed up.  I never see them so it was nice!  My nephew ended up meeting them there too, so it was nice to yack and get caught up on summer life.  My nephew leaves for school in a couple of weeks.  How grown up!!!  I remember him when he was first born. 

 

Right before we left, Cabana Boy walked in.  Or should I say limped in?  He had some major issues with his left foot since he was an infant. A deformity that they did surgery on several times.  He ended up having two toes removed and that solved the issues for some time.  OMG!!!  I can remember being at the ocean when he was younger.  Girls would flock to him.  Anytime anyone asked what happened to his foot he would reply, 'I got bit by a shark.'  Such a character he was. 

 

Now that he is older he has had nothing but more trouble.  His foot develops a fatty like tissue and after a few years it has to be removed.  Awhile back he got a ball of sorts as a growth on the bottom of his foot.  Being like he is, he put off having it looked at.  Needless to say on Saturday the ball split and he blood along with goop come out.  He went to emergency room on Sunday.  He couldn't understand the Dr at all so he let him treat it some what but he left.  Today he made an appointment with a specialist for tomorrow.   They feel there is an infection in there and they need to get it looked at and properly treated.  He has pain behind his knee and up his thigh.  They wanted him there today but he couldn't get there before they closed for the day.  He will be dropped off in the morning and will call me when he is done and I will go get him.  So much for time off without having doctor, dentist, or other appointments.  What can you do?  He's my brother...........   LOL and he ain't heavy!  :)~  Send some good vibes his way if you think of it.  He seemed a bit nervous about the whole thing.  Like maybe he knew more then he was telling.   Surprise!  Wouldn't be the first time.

 

Hope everyone had a great day!

~ Dog Days of Summer ~

It's nice to be off!  Getting up and not having to rush to get out the door is a magnificent thing.  I slept in a little bit and when I got up, I relaxed with my cup of coffee.  Ok, so a few cups.  LOL  I love my java! 

 

Yesterday was a great day.  We got to the cottage a bit after noon.  As we pulled up, the clan was walking back up from the beach.   They were looking to make lunch and sit in the shade for awhile.  The beach was extremely crowded, it always is on the weekend.  There are a couple beach bars there and is a favorite hangout for the summer.  Apparently there was a swimsuit contest as well.  Ohh boy.. you know the guys were there with drool dripping.  LOL  

 

The set up for the cottage was great.  There were four families and the 4 cottages were side by side and back to back, like a square.  A gathering place between them with a fire pit, picnic tables, and room for the kids to play.  We had burgers, dogs, chips, and snacks.  A stand or sit kind of lunch.  A few ice cold drinks hit the spot. 

 

Sitting and talking I couldn't help but look at Tyson (Renee's dog) and think, 'dog days of summer.'  It was perfect!  Laying, looking, eating, and drinking.  What a life!!!  Bug, well she was her precious self!!  My sister Pat had a few trinkets for dress up.  They were used as prompts for one of the door prizes at her benefit and she had them in a bag at her house for the perfect time to give to 'Bug'.  Yesterday was perfect.  She wasted no time getting in her little get up, shoes included.  She walked around the whole time with the shoes, boa, purse, and jewelry.  She's a hoot!!  Amazes me, but she can run in those dress up slides.  Doesn't miss a beat.  I have a helluva time just walking in them!!

 

 

 

We never actually made it to the beach.  It was hot and the kids were a bit cranky after being there all morning.  Family members were coming and going so we just stayed put.   The shade from the trees and the breeze coming in off the lake made for a comfortable spot.  It was enjoyable and refreshing. 

 

Steve doesn't work until 11 this evening and we thought we'd take a ride out for a couple hours, but I spoke with him a bit ago and he has a few things he wants to get done around the apartment.  Like hang the clock.  LOL  I woke up with a slight headache, and sitting in the sun doesn't sound real appealing right now.  We'll play it by ear and see what happens.  It's wonderful not having a set schedule!! 

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I'm off to get another cup of 'joe' and read a few journals.  I can do whatever I want, whenever I want....  the dog days of summer........

 

Hugs

~ Sunday Mornin ~

                                 

Well, it's another beautiful day here :)  I slept later then I had planned, but I think all the heat and fresh air from yesterday was the contributing factor.  I got up, made my coffee, went through some alerts and read some other news on line.  The only thing resembling me in that graphic is the wild hair!  Curly hair and bed heads are a lethal combination.  Ok, so the computer chair and the cup of coffee too.  LOL

 

While at the falls yesterday, I grabbed a few shots of 'nature' and thought I'd share.  Just having some fun with digital scrap booking.  Another addiction!!  It's amazing the things you find as you walk slowly and look.  Sometimes in life we move at such a fast pace we miss out on the good things.  Take the time............

 

Off to the beach today.  My niece, Renee, and her family have a cottage for the week.  We'll spend a few hours there today and then I will go out again tomorrow.  I thought about spending the night but sleeping quarters are a bit tight.  I don't want to share a bed with 'bug' or Gage.  Love 'em, but.......

 

I do hope everyone is having a great weekend!

~ Spectacular ~

The day started out overcast and gloomy.  I was disappointed thinking we were going to have a rerun of yesterday, but my luck turned.  About 11ish the sun came out the temps soared.  It was off on a short ride to one of the wonders of the world.  Spectacular doesn't quite fit, but it was all I could think of.  Do you have a word to describe this?  Please share it........

 

I took a ton of pictures and video's but won't bore you with them all.  The ones I've chosen will no doubt wear thin on you as it is, and I swear are not real long.  I only talk in a few as I wanted you to hear the sound of the rushing water.  We stayed on the American side, and it was a good thing.  We had a clear shot of both bridges and they were mobbed and moving really slow.  It would have taken hours to get across. 

 

I tried to get a good glimpse of the beauty and power.  What you see across the river is Canada and it's many hotels and a few casino's.   Getting video while on the Maid of the Mist proved to be difficult.  I had taken a plastic bag with me and did get a few shots that way, but the water and mist that gets blown at you as you pass by quickly shot that idea all to hell.  I couldn't avoid getting other passengers, so just ignore them.  LOL  They didn't seem to care when they walked in front of me when they knew exactly what I was doing... soooo..........  :)~  The smaller section of the falls is known as the bridal veil and they have tours up steps along side.  The yellow you see are folks wearing rain slickers.  Gives you an idea of how large and high the falls really is.   The rocks at the bottom of the American side is what fell from the brink.  Several years back they did divert the water from going over in attempt to clean it up.   Can you imagine no water?  Needless to say it was way to expensive and they scrapped the idea. 

 

The Maid of the Mist cruises along side the American Falls and then sits at the bottom of the Canadian side.  The last falls video shows a clear drop.  This is generally where the daredevils make their attempt.  Can you say freakin nuts???  There have been survivors and then folks not so lucky.  Once a boat in distress up river broke apart.  A seven year old boy was washed over the falls in nothing but a life jacket and swimming trunks.  The Maid picked him up, alive.  Unbelievable!! 

 

So there you have it.  My spectacular day at Niagara Falls...................  Your word is?

~ Day Is Done ~

                      

Even with the rain the day wasn't a wash out.  It wasn't long after I shot the video that it slowed down and within the hour it had stopped.  The sun tried to come out and did at points.  It was warm so the still water dried up rather quickly.  I watched for a rainbow, but didn't see one  :(  I thought conditions were perfect.  Just my luck tho. 

 

Dinner went off without a hitch.  We went to Applebee's.   Plans evolved as the day went on and Steve and S decided to meet us.  He worked some overtime but got out at noon.  She worked until 4:30.  We all pretty much arrived at the same time.  We had a few drinks and some appetizers as we talked endlessly, and laughed as much.  When our main dishes arrived it got a bit quiet as we all tested our food and commented.  We shared a bit here and there as well.  Food was great, company was better.  Friends forever.........  even if they are family :)

 

After dinner we all went our separate ways.  Steve, S, and my niece went back to his apartment and made plans to go to the movies.  My sister and I went out to the mall to pick up the clock I bought for the apartment.  I knew it was big, that is what they wanted.  When I saw the box I was surprised.  I wasn't expecting that.  I think they will like it.  The wall they want to put it in is a bit 'broken up' with the big screen TV (on a stand) and the thermostat.  Why someone put the thermostat almost mid way into a wall is beyond me, but that is what they have to deal with. 

 

When we got home I had a few calls to make and then thought about what I might do tomorrow.  If I can move early and it doesn't rain I may take a trip to Niagara Falls.  I'd love to get a video while on the Maid of the Mist.  Not sure if that will work, it gets pretty wet and I won't be taking chances with my camera.  There is a video and web cam at the site, feel free to check out.  Time will tell what I decide to do.

 

I had no idea how late it was, and it's time for me to get to bed.  I hope everyone had a great Friday!

~ Just My Luck ~

              

 

Well it looked overcast when I got up this morning, but I thought, or should I say hoped, it would clear up.  Not my luck!   Fed Ex had a delivery and when I went to the door I was greeted by a downpour.  Lovely!  I think Lisa Jo sent it my way :)~  Teasing LJ!   I didn't want to get all the cars going by so I focused on the flower, I think you can see and hear the rain.  You can also see the boat trailer (sorry I moved LOL)  No I wasn't in my jammies, but you can hear someone beep as they went by.  It doesn't look I will be doing any floating either, unless I visit the puddle out front by the garden. 

 

      

 

Lunch was changed to dinner.  My niece couldn't make lunch so we decided to hold off and do it later.  No difference to me I can't get excited about dodging the raindrops anyway.   Might just have to play around a bit.   GRRRRRRRR   where is that sun I was promised!?!?!

Ok, so it's a bit early for most, but for me it's like Friday.  YEAH!!  And let me tell you I could use a few of these!  This was such a busy week, but well worth it.  It was productive and now I have off until Wednesday!   Add in all the emotional things and my body and brain are fried.  I had a long entry planned, but ya know what?  I'm tired!  LOL 

 

I will say this... if I never see another hummingbird, I will be ok with it.  LMAO!!  Thank you for all the requests.  I feel like I did 100 of them, and it was fun...  ya know I like doing it... but I didn't expect that response.  All caught up too... hehehehehe   I was just going to use the above as my graphic/snag but decided I'd personalize if you want it.  There are a few steps for the name so only one request and I will probably expire it rather quickly with being on vacation and all.  I don't think I will want to be sitting at the computer the whole time :)   Just leave a comment with the name or snag the blank one. 

 

        

 

We are doing lunch tomorrow and it should be a blast!   If the weather holds out it is supposed to be in the mid 80's...  I think I will pack my suit and go to my parents after for some float time.  I'm off to bed.. Hope everyone is doing good.  Have a great Friday!

~ Summer Dreams ~

Aaaah yes, summer dreams.  I didn't do an entry yesterday.  I was exhausted.  I played with graphics after work and I deleted each and every one.  I didn't like them, I wasn't in the mood.  Today I got into work and my desk was buried.  I want to know who the little gremlins are that come out at night and leave me work!!!  The day went by fairly fast but about half through I found myself just staring at my computer screen not doing a thing.  I know my mind wandered, but I'm not sure exactly where it went.  I took off next Monday and Tuesday and decided I wanted another day so I requested off for Friday.  No plans for that day, but before I knew it I had asked off. 

 

Today is Tuesday.  Or at least it was when I started writing.  I called my sisters about 2ish and talked to her daughter.  She was off in bed.  I did make arrangements to stop on my way home to bring her a milkshake.  With my Dad having his surgery a couple weeks ago I've slacked there.  Not today!   I stopped at Baskin Robbins/Dunkin' Donuts for her treat.  It was dead in there and only one register open.  I walked to the counter that wasn't near the ice cream and put in my order.  As I stood there talking to the guy working, right at eye level behind him was the case of freshly made treats.  Glaring at me and was a lemon blast donut.  My sister LOVES lemon pie and this doughnut had her name all over it.  I started to order a half dozen mixed donuts and was informed for $1.20 more I could get 12.  Well, DUH!  That's a no brainer!   I got 12.  There was a reason that was the only register open.  Sell, sell, sell. 

 

I got to my sisters and she came out of the back room.  I'd hugged and kissed her, only to find she was hot!  I'm not talking sexy hot in her lounge ware.  She felt like she was burning up.  She didn't feel it but took some med's anyway.  She got on the couch and I hooked her up with her shake and donut.  She looked like a little kid with the powdered sugar on her lips and cheeks.  Some even on the tip of her nose.  Lucky her, she has my Dad's nose.  He calls it the Roman nose with character.  I guess she listened to him when she was little.  He always told us, as well as his grand kids, 'pull on that nose if you want one with character!' 

 

MMMMMM was a common theme as she sipped on her shake and ate.  We talked a bit about her trip and the fun they had.  How the weather was, and how nice it was to get away.  She let me know the results of her scan.  It's not horrible news, but it is not what I had hoped for, prayed for, or wished for.  The lesions on her liver have shrunk, millimeters only but that is the right direction.  The tumors on her pancreas have grown by millimeters.  The Dr. said not to forget a millimeter is like a strand of hair.  It didn't matter to me.  It's the wrong direction!  My heart skipped, but she was still so positive I couldn't let her see my sadness.  I ached inside but didn't want her to know.  They are going forward with the same treatment plan.  She has her schedule out until September.  I know it's a battle, and I knew it wouldn't be easy.  I just wanted so bad for it ALL to be good news.  I will continue to pray, have faith and be positive.  Summer dreams...........  I want my sister well.  I want her cancer free. 

 

Before I left we made plans to do lunch on Friday.  Ohhh the reason I wanted the day off.  I'll arrange to have my mom and whoever else is available join us.  A girls day out for a 'yeah day.'  When our kids were young we had 'yeah day' on the first day of school.  We'd get them off on the bus and we'd all meet up for lunch.  To celebrate.  LOL  This will be a celebration of love. 

 

I got home and had dinner and could see out my back window the sky turning pink.  I needed air, needed space.  I grabbed my camera and headed downtown to the marina.  I stood at the railing and snapped picture after picture.  I normally look to see what I had gotten.  Today?  I didn't care!  I just needed beauty, needed to feel faith.  Strength.   As I was walking back to my car, I stopped at the road way and took a few pictures of the buildings downtown.  I heard a little boy, 'Lady, lady' in a high pitched voice.  His father hushed him.  'But she isn't looking.  She might walk into the street.'  I put my camera down and turned to thank him.  I had no intention of walking into the street, but I appreciated his caring.  I told him I was so busy taking pictures I was glad he was there to help me.  He smiled ear to ear, his father winked. 

 

As I turned to walk to my car I heard in a deep voice, 'lady, lady'  It wasn't a child, but a man.  I turned to look and there standing smiling and laughing was Jimmy.   A very good friend of mine from years gone by.  You may remember our lunch date a while back.  It was wonderful to see him.  He bent to hug me and I felt myself grab hold of him not wanting to let go.  He sensed my need and pulled me in closer.  Tears rolled down my cheeks, but I just stood there letting him hold me, holding him.  He had no idea so I filled him in between tears and sobs.  We grabbed a bench and talked.  It was nice, he was nice.  Sweet.  Loving and helpful.  He let me cry.  He walked me to my car, a quick kiss and we went our way.  Faith... in a friendship so deep that no matter how much time goes by you can pick up where you left off.  Care for each other and bring a warmth back to what seemed like a cold day.  I'll call him if I don't hear from him this weekend.  We are going to try and get together when we have more time.  Time............

 

It's late, and it's now Wednesday.  I am off to bed.  I do hope everyone had a great day today!

Summer dreams..........

~ Time for Bed ~

.... but not before I say thank you for putting up with my numerous alerts today.  For visiting me like you do.  For the wonderful and sweet comments regarding my son and his new apartment, new life,  and for the requests for my various tags.  All comments are so appreciated!  All the times I've asked for prayers, good thoughts, and all the times you've gone back and lit a candle for my sister.  I don't thank you enough and I'm sorry.   You guys are the best.... Thank you!

 

I responded to a comment earlier and it really got me thinking.   Being a single Mom, Steve and I were extremely close when he was young.  We'd play games together, take walks or bike rides, we'd even wrestle.  We'd hang out.  It was awesome.  I remember when he got a bit older and started pulling away from me.  Normal I suppose, but it broke my heart just the same.  His friends thought I was cool, but somehow he didn't.  I guess it's 'cuz I was his Mom. 

 

I grew to accept it and patiently waited for the day that he'd be back.  Talking to me, telling me things, including me in his 'life.'  I mean really including me.  Don't get me wrong, we talked and fooled.  Yet it was always more or less on the surface.  Before he could drive I started dropping in him off at school on my way to work.  Doing so allowed him a good 30 minutes extra in bed.  He loved it.  One time as I pulled up, a car in front of us was letting their son out.  He leaned over and gave her (assuming his Mom) a kiss.  He was about the same age as Steve.  I leaned over to him and said, 'where is my kiss?'  He opened the door and got out.  'Bye'   LOL  I knew that was the reaction I'd get but had to try, ya  know? 

 

Slowly over the past few years there were things he would include me in.  Not everything.  On occasion I'd get a hug or kiss.  He'd say he loved me.  I could see that teenage armor softening.   Since he decided to move in with his girlfriend he's really opened up.  He calls me a few times a day.  He doesn't talk long most of the time mind you, but he is calling to tell me his news.  No matter how little it may be.  He tells me his plans, his goals, what he wants.  He's matured that much more, grown that much older, he's independent and responsible.  He is an adult, yet he's my baby and I got him back.  Seems like I've waited a life time for this.  I'm busting with pride and so happy. 

 

I've gotten a few emails and comments asking about my sister.  She and hubby got home today.  Or should have.  I've not talked to her yet.  I will most likely call tomorrow.  She had been feeling pretty good and was excited about the little get away.  On Tuesday she should get the results of her latest scan.  My thoughts, prayers, and hopes are that things are still shrinking.  I"ll keep you posted, thank you for thinking of her. 

 

I'm off to bed............ again Thank you!   I hope everyone had a great weekend.

 

Hugs

~ Sunday Sunday.... & some snags ~

        

Hope everyone is doing good this Sunday afternoon.  I am amazed it is actually Sunday.  The past few days have been a whirlwind.  Coming and going, shopping, primping, moving, stacking.  OMG!!  In retrospect I did nothing, yet I still feel wiped out.  Jammies 'til noon yesterday?  Not on your life!!  Ran to the bank, did some running for my son.  Made stuff peppers for dinner and of course made extra for him.  After dinner I ran over with the care package.  Even though he had eaten pizza earlier in the day he had one.  Made me smile inside.  I knew he'd have to try one, so I gave enough for 'his taste', then for dinner another night. 

 

He moaned a bit about not having chairs for the balcony yet.  I had my fold out camp chairs in my trunk.  They stay there for 2 reasons.  One, I don't want them to become animated and walk out of my garage never to be seen again, and two you never know when you might need a chair.   Well, this summer hasn't been the sit outside at the park type.  I've gone to only two picnic's that I needed them and don't foresee anything else so I told him to grab them.  His eyes went wide open, 'really?'  I tossed him my car keys and said go get them.  For as tired as he was, he moved like a bat out of hell.  Before you knew it he was sitting outside with his feet up and an ice cold beer.  I had to laugh.  Not quite like camping but it's his outdoor retreat.  Sure an ocean view would be more to his liking, but he will take it.  Though he did make a comment being on the other side of the complex would allow him to watch the high school football games come fall.  He'll hear it, no worries!  I swear I haven't seen him this happy and care free in years.  I guess his old apartment and room mates took a toll without me even realizing. 

 

         

 

He had his cable turned on early this morning.  On a Sunday???  Think they may be hurting with the dish???  I have to think so.  They even showed up during the time they said they would!!  He and S ran back to her house to finish moving her things.  He said there must 20 bags of garbage/junk in her Mom's garage.  He will stop by later this evening and get it out to the street for them.  He also has to go back to his old apartment and clean the rest of the mess there.  He stopped over here about 11 and I made a big breakfast for us.  It was so nice, and filling!  I made steak, eggs, and home fries.  I knew with all his running he'd not eat until dinner at S's grandma's and I wanted to give him some energy food to burn off with all the work he has left to do.  Besides, it's been so long since he's been here to actually eat with me.  He smiled the whole time and couldn't thank me enough for all the help I've given him.  I even got a hug on his way out the door. 

 

                    

 

A friend asked for another Breast Cancer graphic and I thought I'd share.  As I'm typing I'm thinking some might like it smaller for their sidebar, should have thought of it before.  If you'd like me to resize and send to you leave it in the comments.  Keep in mind it has to be a .gif file.  If you have issues saving that way, let me know.  If you need it attached just say so.  I won't be mad, and I won't yell.  I'd much rather attach it and have you display it animated then not ask and have it be 'still'.   I will work with you, and together we will beat AOL and the shitty service! 

 

Some more snags for you, hope you find at least one you like :)  Off to do some more things around here and then figure out what to have for dinner.

 

Enjoy the rest of the day!

 

Hugs

~ No More ~

      

....... parties like this!  Or at least I hope not LOL  I did stop at the grocery store on my home from work and bought a few things to help stock up the new place.  They had shopped earlier so they are in good shape.  Can you remember the first grocery shop when you moved out?  All the little things you needed to get started?  They don't have every thing, but they have a great start.  It will come in time.  I know they won't starve!

 

Both Steve and his girlfriend had off today so they did a lot to get boxes unpacked and things where they wanted.  I was amazed when I got there.  They pretty much had it in order except for their room.  They need to finish unpacking clothes and they will be good to go.   No decorations up at this point, but they wanted to get things in and set up to see what exactly they wanted.   Steve got the mini blinds hung in the bedrooms and tomorrow will tackle the vertical blinds for the sliding glass door.  They can't decide on tables for the living room.  They haven't been able to agree.  As with the search for the apartment, I told them to keep looking they will find the ones. 

 

The pictures were taken with my cell phone.  They aren't the greatest, but it gives you an idea on the place.   The kitchen area is fairly small but the other rooms are half way decent size, though you really can't tell from the angle.  The view from the balcony isn't horrible.  In the other direction it's a parking lot and the back of houses from the street behind the complex.  Off in the distance in the picture, behind the white building is the pool.  Close enough, but far enough away. 

 

They are so happy and relaxed.  Made me feel good, so proud.  Now, well I'm just tired.  Up early, work all day, and then straight to their place.  Makes for a long day... I'm old remember?  I'm off to bed with a smile on my face knowing I do not have to work tomorrow.  YEAH!!!!  I am staying in my jammies until noon.  LMAO yeah right!!!  Hope everyone is good...........

~ They're In ~

       

The rain held off on Wednesday for the move.  My son was told the apartment would be ready by 10 am.   He was organized and had his plans in place.  He woke up early and got the remainder of little things in his car.  His buddy was there and they were ready to go.  At 9:30 the rental office called and said they are behind.  They were putting in a new tile back splash, sink, and counter top.  They weren't going to be done until 3.  I know he was livid, but kept his cool.  He's been on his own for over a year so he took the time to clean up his room at the old place.  His room mates are planning on staying.  Hmmm I wonder though.  He was the only one that contributed with household items.  Living room furniture, big screen TV. kitchen set.  It was all going.  I give the other guys a couple days and they'll be gone.  Good thing he gave his landlord notice and it was a very relaxed month to month set up.

 

They did get the truck about 1 and were able to load his items in.  They made their way to his girlfriends house and loaded her things.  It was then they got the call that said they could get in. It was a bit earlier then 3, but much later then he planned.  By the time I was ready to leave work they were still not back at the apartment.  They went to get load 2.  I came home and changed my clothes.  Ordered pizza and wings and stopped to get some beer.  When I pulled in the parking lot they were loading things off the truck.  I grabbed the goods and headed in. 

 

They are on the third floor and in the back.  It really is a nice apartment.   You enter into the dining area, there is a partial wall that blocks the living room that runs the width of the dining area and the kitchen.  The kitchen area is just cooking space, but there is a good amount of cupboards.  More then enough for thetwo of them.  Now anyway.  We all know how we accumulate shit!  LOL  Two bedrooms and a good size bath.  There is balcony off the living room and is big enough for a grill and couple of chairs.  I was impressed.  Very nice.  Classy

 

They stopped to eat and have an ice cold beer, and was back to work.  As they unloaded the truck S and I made room in the kitchen and started unpacking dishes.  Right into the dishwasher.  When the washer was loaded I put soap in and turned the dial.  Nothing!  I messed with things, settings, still nothing.  I rearranged the dishes thinking maybe there was a sensor or sort.  Still nothing.  The dishwasher manual was in there when we opened it so for the first time in my life I had to read directions on how to run a dishwasher!!!!  WTF!?!  So I read the directions.   Load dishes, load soap, select setting, turn on water at the nearest faucet until it gets hot.  HUH????????   Never have I heard that!  Not ever!!!  It wasn't like we had to connect the dishwasher to the spout.  I do it, and still nothing.  GRRRRRR  So I tell them to add a broken dishwasher to the list that they had to return to the office.  I took a few things out of the dishwasher and started washing.  They can't fix it if it is full.  I get some done and then start to move things on the counter to make more room.  There on the wall is two plug outlets and two light switches.  I look around, there is a garbage disposal, but no light.  Hmmm  What do you suppose that is for.  Well 'bite me' it's to turn on the dishwasher.  LOL  Glad I found it before I did ALL the dishes. 

 

I got home about 10 and I was beat!  My thighs and calves throbbed.  From watching the guys lift and carry everything up the stairs no doubt.  LOL  I know why my calves were sore.  No step stool and I was on my tip toes hanging the shower curtain.  I thought about standing on the side of the tub, but I know me.  I'd have slipped and cracked my head open or something.  Just not use to bending and twisting like I did last night.   Hmmm... well not that way or for that purpose anyhow.  :)~

 

Today I was stiff but doing good.  It rained most of the day and I was thrilled the move was yesterday.  I will be stopping for some groceries on the way home tomorrow and dropping them off.  A little care package.  They are both off and will finish unpacking as well as find some blinds to put on the windows.   He called earlier and said things are coming together nicely.  They are both thrilled and extremely happy.  That makes Mom happy!!!  My babies growing up and the memories flood in. 

 

YIKES!!!!  Long entry sorry.  Hope everyone had a good day.

~ Cheating ~

                              

It was like grand central station here tonight with the phone, or do I say phones?  At one point I was on both and call waiting kicked in on my cell.  Ummmmm Yeah I'm pretty sure I was thinking 'bite me!'  LOL  No I wasn't, but it was just a busy night.  I really don't like the phone most days.  I am on it way too much at work.  It was nice to catch up and share some news and plans though.  My son was one of those calls, his big day is tomorrow.  I will most likely stop with pizza and wings after work to feed them and the friends that helped.   Least I can do since I'm not able to actually help 'move' them.  Who do you think will say, 'where's the beer?' first?!?   He's pretty organized and ready to go.  I just hope the rain stops!!!

 

I see some of you were chicken when it came to the 'bite me' entry.  ROFL!!!  Teasing!  Thought it was fun.  Thanks for humoring me.  I saw some good ones that's for sure.  Today was much better, and hoping tomorrow is even better.  Nothing like heading into the weekend on a good note.  I just hope summer returns.  We needed rain, but enough already!!!

 

With all the calls tonight I really didn't have time to mess with graphics.  I'd start something and then be on the phone.  When I came back to the PC I hated what I had done and deleted it.  So tonight you get some stuff that I worked on the other day.   Not sure I'm completely satisfied with the window.  The curtain is not moving the way I had planned but since I'm cheating, LOL, it's here.  The reflection and water I love.  I'd love to be sitting in one of those chairs!  Counting down to the time off and the visit out to the lake.  YEAH!!! 

 

Ok, this is a half ass entry, but I'm tired.  I'm off to bed.  Smile and enjoy your Wednesday.

~ 101 Reasons ~

   

Bite Me!  Ahhh yes, I've been known to use the phrase.  Today has been no different.  I could come up with probably 101 reasons to have said it the last couple days...........

 

Technorati - Ok, so this one I'm over now, but over the course of the past couple days I did say 'bite me' several times.  I tried and tried to claim my journal only to have the 'spiders' not find the code.  Lets see, I did everything they said but nothing.  I had it inserted throughout and the 'spiders' couldn't find it yet a blind man could have tripped over it on each passing turn.  I deleted the claim started over, still nothing.  I'd tried it a few months ago as well, had no luck then either.  After contacting tech support for the second time I finally got a response.  They didn't tell me what the problem was, and honestly I don't care.  It's fixed.  LOL If you have an account there and want to add this as a favorite feel free to click on the technorati icon on my sidebar <----- over there (you may have to go 'back to journal' to see my sidebar) it will be a snap and  be added rather quickly.  If you haven't claimed your blog, give it a shot.  It feels good to say 'bite me' every once in awhile.  LOL 

 

Krissy and Guido, thank you so much for your help!  I do appreciate it.  Now lets see if I can figure the rest out.  I know it's a great way to get exposure. 

 

Trolls - aaaah ... different one this time.  I've removed a few comments that have been left advertising crap.  Delete and block.  In case they haven't noticed, I don't need my penis enlarged, and really have no interest in the other products.  Find someplace else to advertise, AOL has some major ones flashing as a banner on the top of my journal.  I think I will let them have the monopoly here.  Bite Me!

 

Co-workers -  oh no doubt everyone has someone they work with that they would love to say it to.  I will do it for you.  Bite Me!  Hmmmm maybe I mean my SSI check is late..... Bite Me!

 

Speed Demons - the road does not belong to you.  You don't own it!  Yield does not mean step on the gas, nor does the yellow light.  Merge does not mean stop!  When you hear a siren it doesn't mean drive down the middle of those two lanes, it means pull over and get the hell out of the way.  Bite Me!

 

AOL - OMG I could go on and on with the 'bugs' here, but today I will stick with mail.  I sorted mail by subject and got thru it all but alerts.  Anything I had not opened and saved again as new was eaten.  I don't know where it went, it's gone.  WTF!?!  Not in old, not in recently deleted.  It just slipped off into cyber space.  Bite Me!    (if you requested a tag and haven't gotten it yet, drop me a line.  I think I was able to get thru all them but I can't be sure.)  Oh hell, AOL deserves it twice.  Bite Me!!             

 

:::sigh::: I could continue, but think it's best to stop here.  Do you have a 'bite me'?  Leave a comment and get it out.  I swear it feels great!  I know you want to.  Do it.  Click 'add your own'  Get it off your chest.  Sorry no ads allowed, and please don't tell me to bite you.  :)

 

I feel better... how 'bout you?  Did you click 'add your own' yet?

~ Good Morning ~

As I came out into the living room this morning, rubbing my eyes and trying to get orientated with the new day this was the scene out my front window.  Over the house across the street it almost looked like there was a fire.  I made my way back to my bedroom and searched for a pair shorts.  I pulled them on, tucked in my nightgown, and slipped into my slippers.  I grabbed my camera and headed to the front porch.  I aimed my camera and took the shot.  My eyes barely open or focused, not even a cup of coffee yet.  I had to get it, had to share.  Very little traffic out at that time of the day, so I shouldn't be to disappointed that I only had one beep.  Right?  LOL

 

Enjoy your day.........   red sky at night sailors delight......... red sky in morning sailors take warning.

See Dad, I did listen.   Off to get some java!

~ Sunday Snags & Some Mumbo Jumbo ~

      

Feel free to snag any or all the graphics.  I only ask that they not be altered or claimed as your own :)

 

I'm testing a new font size.  My PC settings show my font fairly large, apparently it isn't for others.  I'm sorry.  AOL is a bit goofy as there is no size 12 so I am jumping up to 14.  How's the new look?  Better?  Too big?  Not big enough?  After all this time I'm also considering changing my signature for my tags.  I guess I got a bit tired of the little lady.  She gets in the way at times.  I was thinking something a bit simpler with the year added.  Thoughts?  Does it matter?  LOL

 

I have a new sidebar graphic :::big ass grin:::  Click 'back to journal' at the top of the page if you want to see.  Russ over at Inner Outer Demons recently asked for our 'right on's'.  He then drew a cartoon to fit the saying.  Of course, mine was a surprise visit by bug.  When I saw what he had done I giggled, then smiled ear to ear.  Thanks Russ!!!  I had to snag it up and put it here.  I love it!!!  If you've not been by his place, take a trip, you won't be sorry!!!!

 

Brittany over at As the Sun Sets did an entry recently about journals, the turn on's and turn offs.  I've been asked on more then one occasion about comments and how I pick journals.  I really don't have a set rule.  I go with the flow, but she did pretty much nail a few things.  It's a personal thing and she no way is pointing at anyone.  She is just giving her thoughts.  I personally like a personal touch to journals no matter what the main theme is.  Every once in awhile it's nice to let us readers into your world.  It doesn't have to be defining information, address, phone, social security number.  Not that anyone would stalk you out and meet you on your doorstep, but a little insight on your life and thoughts helps draw readers in and keep their interest.  It's a nice change from the blah same 'ole same 'ole... nothing new here. 

 

While I'm at I'd also like to thank Brittany for the plug in I'd been looking for.  Diama over at Chocolate Cherried Creations helped as well, we just couldn't get it to work.  It's now in place and running like a charm.  Thank you both!!  Another great thing about journals.  Helping each other out.  Sharing knowledge, giving back to others.  It's a wonderful feeling and I so appreciate when I'm on the receiving end.  I'd like to think I give often..............   but that's up to you folks to decide.

 

       

 

 

Nothing much happening here today, I think I will finish up some household chores, get dinner in place and ready to go... breaded pork chops, mashed tators, and peas I think :)  Of course since it's a lazy Sunday I will play some more in PSP.  Watch out!  LOL

 

Hope you're all having a great day!

~ A New Visitor ~

Well, actually I've gotten several new visitors over the course of the last month or so, and believe me when I say I appreciate each and everyone of you, new and old!   The comments have been great, and your support wonderful.   This visitor is a bit different.... 

 

Remember when I said my cousins were in town and we got to see them after a good 10 years?  Well during our conversations they let us know my Aunt loves blogs and reads a few.  They were excited to hear that I had one.  I sent an email as she wasn't able to make the trip this time.  I sent her a link and gave her a few entries I thought she'd find of interest.  Family pictures etc.  It's been so long since we've seen her.  I thought she'd get a kick out of the wedding pictures, and the kids.  :::waving::: Hi Aunt Mary Ann!!  Meet 'bug', called that because... well, she is as cute as one :)  This is Marge's grand daughter ( Renee's daughter).  I don't think you have an AIM name to leave a comment, but I know you visit, thank you!!!   The letter you wrote was fabulous.  I appreciate all your kind words.  I got tears as you reminded me of Uncle Dick being in one of the pictures with Mom.  I'm glad it brought happy memories.   

 

These are pictures taken on the sly when we were at my parents after Dad's surgery.  She wasn't much in the picture mood, but I was able to sneak a few shots of her as she listened to the conversation and ate her doughnut.  In the one shot she is watching her Papa Pal and listening very carefully to each word he says.  Don't you just want to grab those cheeks and give 'em a kiss?  I know I do!  As you see her eye/face is healing wonderfully.  She still has a bit of a mark, but the nasty stuff is all gone.  No scars.  YEAH!!!

 

Today ended up being a bummer of a day.  The rains came again.  I suppose I should be glad as the temperatures will be soaring back to the 90's, or so some news channels say.  The earth was still a bit dry and with any luck at all the rains today will turn the grass back to green.  It was so parched and brown.  Gardens still needed to be watered even with the last rains we had, so maybe this will keep the beds a bit wet for a couple days. 

 

Hope everyone had a great day and wish you a peaceful Sunday.  I really didn't have a ton to say but I wanted to share the pictures of 'bug'.   She always makes me smile.

 

Hugs

~ What A Week ~

      

I am thrilled it's Saturday!!!  I should be doing laundry but I just can't get motivated.   I crawled out of bed at 7 and just couldn't seem to wake up or get my body in gear.  This past week has been a whirlwind.  I promise I won't bore you with every mundane event or detail.  Ok, so I hope I don't :)

 

I haven't been back to visit my Dad, but I've talked to him a few times.  He is doing good.  He still has some pain and a bit of fuzzy vision but after all the poking around in there I'm not surprised.  Each day it gets a bit better.  For most, that surgery is not a big deal.  For him, he had to have permission from both his cardiologist and general doc, so it wasn't just a run of the mill thing.  So far so good.  Once he is at a good point in the healing process he will have the other eye done.

 

No results on my sister's scan.  Probably a good week before the results are back.  Thanks so much for the good thoughts, prayers, and lit candles.  She and her husband will be taking a little trip this coming week.  Good for them!  It's her off week from chemo and she definitely deserves it!! 

 

My dentist appointment went well.  I messed up and thought this was it, and I'd be all done after the next trip.  I have at least two more visits.  I got in the chair and tried on wax molds to test the fit.  It felt extremely odd.  Move your tongue around, stretch your tongue towards the roof of your mouth, as far back as it will go.  Open, close, bite, relax your lips.  Move your jaw from side to side. Run your tongue around the forms.  Suck in, blow out.  About half way through I started to laugh and couldn't stop.  The dentist looked at me in confusion.   At the risk of sounding like a pig or giving too much information I told her I felt like a young girl being taught how to move my mouth gently around in some sexual encounter.  I thought she was going to choke.  Her eyes opened wide and we both laughed until we had tears in our eyes.  Her assistant is new and that was only the second time she has seen me.  She didn't know, poor girl.  Her jaw was on the floor and she had no idea how to react.  When we were done we scheduled my next appointment.  My jaw was a bit sore and we laughed some more.  Her assistant told me as I walked out,  'Can't wait for your next visit.  You made my day.  It's nice to have someone with a sense of humor in the dentist chair.'  My reply, 'if I don't laugh I'll cry.  Besides, I wasn't kidding, that is exactly what it sounded like.  Without the heavy breathing of course.'   Off to work I went.

 

Work was work, busy, busy, busy.  It's hard collecting those SSI checks and getting them to the bank!  LMAO (no offense intended to those that might be on SSI)  Ok, seriously, some minor issues that took time to fix.  Running here and there, calls, quick fixes with the system issues, meetings.  The days flew by but not much on the 'to do' list actually got done.  There is always next week, right?  I was planning on taking some time off on Thursday to help my son with the move and setting up of the new apartment.  That won't be happening.  I have to leave early on Tuesday and rules are rules at the office (more about that another day).  I will just have to give my 2 cents to him on Thursday evening.  Did I say 2 cents?  Somehow I know it will be more then that. 

 

Last night I got home.  It was just me.  I fixed a sandwich for dinner and nestled up the computer to get through mail and journal alerts.  Maaaaaaaaan we all type a lot!!! LOL  I slowly made my way through things.  Leaving the alerts until last.  About 8 (I think) my head was pounding and I decided to just wait until later.  I logged off.  I did some of this and that.  I was in my room changing my bedding and I laid across the bed.  It felt great!  In my ear, or was it in my head, I heard the whisper of 'take a nap'.  LOL  So I stretched out and laid there.  Thirty minutes is all I wanted.  Can you say, game over?  Next thing I remember is jumping out of bed and not knowing where I was, what time it was, or what day.  I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus on my clock.  I stumbled out of my room thinking I overslept for work.  It was dark and quiet.  It was then I realized I had taken a good 3 hour nap.  Shit!!  I'll be up all night.  I fumbled around a bit.  Logged on to the computer to see new entry alerts had multiplied.  I read thru a few but I really felt groggy.  I ended up going back to bed.  Guess what.. I even slept!!  This morning the birds woke me early.  I turned on my TV and laid there for a bit.  My body was stiff and my head cloudy.  I hate getting too much sleep!   I know my body needed it, but my brain can't function when I do that.  It seems to take hours to wake up.  Coffee doesn't help either!  

 

I sat here this morning plugging away at the even more multiplied alerts.  AOL was screwy besides.  Sometimes it would open the journal, sometimes it wouldn't.  I could comment, I couldn't comment, my comment got posted twice!!  GRRRRRR  I logged off and on a few times.  Each time the welcome screen was different.  I went from the old one, to the new much larger one, to the old one.  WTF are they doing???  I finally made it through, or so I thought.  Yeap, you got it... more alerts!   Gotta love it and how we love to share.  It's awesome to read an entry full of life's trials and tribulations.  So much going on.  Some that breaks my heart, but how important it is to the writer to share that news.  How important to have the support of the community.  How great to get or give it!   The recent 'rocker' awards that went out are deserved by all that take the time to include the rest of us in their life, ladies and gents!  Congrats to all!

 

Geeze just realized I babbled on for more then I intended.  Sorry....... could you imagine if I included every little thing?  LOL   Wishing you all a great weekend.  Ummmm.. yeah you know I'll be back with more.  I'm awake now!!!   Off to find something good to eat :)~

 

Hugs
