We have no plans for this weekend at all. It will be quiet. Yesterday we were going all over with errands. From here in Streator, to Ottawa and then to LaSalle.

I told all of you I was going for new glasses a couple of weeks ago. Here's an update on that experience. I picked then up the next Tuesday, and they were blurry. The gal told me that it would take 40 min. or so for my eyes to adjust to them. Ok, I can buy that. When I got home, they still were'nt cleared up. It was Labor Day weekend, so i waited until Tuesday to run back to LaSalle, 60 miles round trip. One lens had a wrong scrip in them. They then called me on the following Tuesday that they were ready for pickup.  Back to LaSalle we go. I still couldnot see across the room. So, after an hour of them trying to get them right, I said I wanted my money back. They informed me that there would be a 20% restock fee. Something like $130. We hit the roof. No way am I paying for their screwup. We told them that we wanted to talk to their corp. offices. I finally got a full refund in the mail yesterday. They did offer a $50. credit on another pair of glasses, I let them know that I would never be back. The company was All About Eyes.

Ok. So much for my rant. I need to go get some pears and cabbage for a salad I want for tonight.  What are you up to today?

Hugs,

 

Lisa

Happy Friday, Illinois!

I am taking a short break at work and thought I'd pop in.

Weather in this corner has been pretty good,  we needed the rain we got yesterday and so far today, none.  There are areas that had bad storms last night, but Rock City's weather bubble is intact.

Not sure what is up for this weekend.  I have a picnic Sunday and Todd is doing a beer festival tomorrow.  I am thinking of going to the Beloit Farmer's Market since I have not been there at all this year.  Gonna stay closer to home after all the driving I did last weekend.

What's going on in your corners?

 

Tell someone that you love them!

Hello everyone

The last couple days were busy ones for me.  I think today will be slower

I have now finished changing my name on everything.  I am just waiting for my debit card to come in with my new name.  I am officially a Holmes.  What a pain in the butt that was. 

We have been doing more around the house now too.  Now that we don't have any big plans to save up for.  So that is kind of nice.  The big thing is I can't wait to get new family room furniture.  But we agreed to wait till the credit card is paid off and we buy new tires for the car.  So first things first.  Then new furniture....but I am so impatient.  LOL

I am going to church this weekend to start classes to become a full fledge member. 

I think I will go to Walmart tomorrow to buy a few things for the outside of the house to decorate it for the Fall. 

That is about it for me. 

Well have to get back to work...see ya laters gators

Has anyone seen the Kmart ads yet? They are already showing Christmas ads. A bit early in my way of thinking.

Enjoy this weather. Humidity is way down. I love the fall.

Have a great day,

Hugs

Hello All:

Carla,  I am so sorry you are having problems.  I saw that you were in the hospital recently but did not know why.  Ugh, just what you need.

Lisa, I am so happy that you get to go back to work!  I was worried that there was no money at all.  That is great news!

I have been so busy I do not know what end is up.  Work has been a nightmare.  The customers are so unhappy.  I get yelled at all day long.  It is not fun at all.  Tomorrow I start my last 4 days and I must say that I am ready to leave.  So many changes and so much dumped in our laps.  We have had to become experts in every speciality and lie through our teeth to our customers and that is so hard. It is taking 2 weeks to trace a missing order and that leaves a customer in limbo about their order for that long.  Not fun.  If they want a replacement, they have to pay for a new order.  That does not go over well.  

So I am counting down the days.  I cant wait!  There are only 8 of us answering phones in our center and tomorrow there will only be 2 of us.  Oh joy!    The center is so empty now.  It is strange.   I cant wait  for my 3 weeks off!

Everyone have a great day!

Carla, I am so sorry you have been sick with dumping. I have had a few times with it, and it really doesn't matter what I am eating. Yogurt will cause it, as well as a piece of steak. There is no reason.

I am in the process of switching my closet, from all summer stuff to fall. I am leaving part of the summer stuff out, because we know we will have a few bursts of summer heat.

Meeting the kids for a Sunday dinner this afternoon. We will be celebrating Ricks birthday at a nice place in Ottawa.

Have a great day,

Hugs

Lisa

Hi there,

I was up all night again for the second night in a row!!! Not a good thing!

Im busy this week getting the cat settled so Carl and I can leave for Illinois. I'll be there over a month as I may be having revision surgery in October. It will probably be at Evanston hospital with a Dr John Linn. I'm hoping it goes like smooth and they don't have me go thru hoops!! My stoma is stretched out and there seems to be a ball of mesh causing it.

I have had a couple of busy days. Yesterday was in Yorkville with my daughter Annette, then last night we attended a play, this morning was at the store by 7:30, have the bed made, and a load of laundry done ( need to put it away). Now I need to get busy with everything else on my agenda.

What are you doing today?

Hugs,

Lisa
