Howdy!

Hey there, hope everyone is having a great day so far. It's my Sunday, just me and Baxter home, but all of the widows are open and there's a lovely breeze blowing in. I'm off to do some retail therapy in preparation for the upcoming visit from my two sister in laws. It's funny that we start doing things to get ready for people to visit that don't care how your house looks, but I care!

For instance; I have some white cooking utensils that I think I bought when we moved here 4 years ago. I make lots of curries and the seasonings stain the spoons. They go through the dishwasher, so of course they're clean, they just look nasty. Gary and I don't care, but would I want Martha Stewart (aka SIL Bea) seeing them??  He**** NO!  So, utensils are on my list. Nothing really big, just little things like that to make the place look like we care. I'm sure I've told you (again and again) how I dislike this house, so sprucing it up and getting all excited about it is hard to do. But, maybe after a little of this and that I will feel better about it. Well, maybe 


Hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy the beautiful weather we're supposed to have most of the week. Golf, Steve???

I say forget about how the house looks and just make yourself another latte and go sit outside and soak up some rays.   You wouldn't want your SIL to see you all white and pasty looking would you?

golf? did you say golf?

Well, I haven't been out for a few weeks but am planning on getting out on Fri and Sat.   Can't wait.  I wouldn't want anyone to see me all white and pasty looking either.

Great advice, Steve. Glad you're going to get out and taking  advantage of this great weather.

I went to the new store, Gordman's today and bought some decorator items for around the house. One was a really pretty centerpiece for the dining table. I didn't make it home...shattered into a dozen pieces in the trunk of the car. Totally my fault, should have been more careful where I put it. Guess I'll need to round up another haircut this week to pay for it. Dang.

White and pasty? No one other than a certain person who is sworn to secrecy will ever know just how white and pasty I am. Tan Towels (a great self tanner, FYI) worked great for my trip to Dallas, but the bathing suit is put away and won't see light of day for another year or so.

Take care, my friend!

I have been outside off and on since noon.....its great......

I am 10 pages away from finishing my fitness and nutrition class I am taking......I have one more class to finish with a different school.

Then......try to save money for the big school....hmmmm.....

I am not sleeping at all and it is making it hard to go to the gym......I have yet to make it there today.....thank god it is 24 hour.......

its even harder to eat right...when you dont sleep......or in my case cat nap here and there
as for food....3 slices of hard salami, 2 small pieces of monterrey jack cheese
a banana 1 tbsp pnut butter
1 pro shake.

I have no appetitie.....

enjoy your day everyone

Okay, honey, I'm REALLY starting to worry about your not sleeping. This has gone on long enough. It's not healthy and I seriously  think you should see the doctor.

I know Susan.....its the insurance and money that are preventing me from doing it. I remember being about 6 yrs old and doing this.

I will sleep 1-3 hours at night then maybe 1-3 in the day. I just dont sleep all at once. Sometimes I only do the 1-3 hours and thats it.

I took ambien for a month....my mom could not take it and gave it to me to see if it would help....it did everyother night and it caused me to not remember things.....that happened from the minute I took it until I woke up.....that could be bad.....

I did call Dr Bakers office about being seen for my post op that I am 8 yrs late having.....they said they will get back to me.

I ate eggs for dinner.....not hungry....hmmm thats not alot of calories for the day......I cant force myself to eat or I will not keep it down.....no appetite.....more than likely stress related.

Ahh the joys of being me......I was healthy once......

Ambien should be BANNED IMHO. It is very, very scary stuff.

I take Temazapam every night with no side effects. It is generic for Restoril, and is less than $10 for 30.

thanks for the info on ambien they put KT on that she was asting strange. I will ask for something different.

I told Tammy that I've been taking Temazapam (generic for Restoril) for a couple of years now since I had very bad (unspeakable) side effects from Ambien. The Temazapam is cheap....less than $10 for 30 days and I'm not a drugged out and groggy in the morning.

yeah....that Ambien is some seriously bad stuff!

I agree about the ambien....its kinda scary to think some people on it were having sex while sleeping and not knowing....eating odd things and not knowing.....

I dont need either of those side effects......
