Hello everyone

At work...another day another dollar.  I won't complain though.  Compared to what it was last year at this time...my work environment is much improved. 

I took a much needed break last night.  I cooked dinner and then sat and watched TV the rest of the night.  It felt good.  I was soooo tired. 

But today it's back to work.  I have lots to do before this weekend.  We have people coming over.  I want things to be clean and in order.  Because I have baking to do Saturday. 

This weekend I wanted to get out there and move the mulch and see what condition the soil is in.  I would like to start planting.  But it looks like rain Sunday and Monday....we shall see. 

Sharon- Funny G is coming home today and Greg is leaving.  He comes back Friday.  That is pretty bad when a woman that works in an office doesn't know what Adobe is.  She better hope to stay at that job forever because she doesn't sound very employable.  Especially if she doesn't even want to try to learn new technology.  I am always wanting to learn new things.  Makes you more valuable.   

Well back to work...have a good day all

Hi Lisa and Friends,

We had family pics after church yesterday and then I took G to the airport. He is in Philly for work for a couple days. It's hard to sleep alone after being together for so long. He called me early this morning to say he felt the same.

A Mother-Daughter Tea sounds like fun. How many years have you been attending?

Tonight i will finally have Mother's Day with my daughter. She and I will go someplace quiet and have a cup of tea together and just catch up. I am looking forward to that. My 7 y/o grand daughter, Anneliese, told me yesterday she misses her Oma. She clung to me all during church, so I will have to find some special time to be with her, just she and I.

I have to go and get ready for work. Today is the law firm, tomorrow the banquet hostessing......love this right now.

Have a great day everyone 

Hugs, Sharon

Hello everyone

I am so tired and pooped out.  We worked our butts off. 

I tell ya I scrubbed and scrubbed Saturday.  That house sparkles.  Every room is done except for his office.  We still have stuff to get at the apartment but it's odds and ends in the closets.  Everything at the apartment is clean, except the oven.  I sprayed it with oven cleaner Friday before I left. 

Sunday we spent the day working outside.  He was working on the lawn.  I was working on weeds.  We have those paver bricks every where.  Paver brick driveway, patio, walk ways and front porch.  The problem is the people before us didn't keep up with the weeds between them.  I spent a good portion of the morning spraying weed killed between all the bricks (my back was a little sore from bending).  Then we bought really nice patio furniture.  The table has a stone top.  That was a pain to put together...and carry to the back yard.

Oh and there is creature of some kind living under the porch.  As I was digging up weeds I found a huge hole going under our porch.  I need to find out how to get rid of that...whatever it is.  I have a dead bush to dig up.  Mulch to lay down.  Bushes to trim.  Then I can think of flowers.   

Today...after work I would like to wash my car...it needs it badly.  I will go home and check on the weeds I killed with the weed killer.  I think I might need to go back over some spots.  And I am making turkey meatballs for dinner.  Greg is going back to the old apartment and picking up a few things he says he needs and forgot.   

Greg's family is coming over this weekend for a BBQ and to check out the new place.  He is excited.  He always tells me how much he has always wanted to have a place he felt was nice enough to invite people over.  I guess with his ex no matter how he tried the house was a disaster and he said he was embarrassed to have people over.  From what I hear (and not just from Greg) his ex was lacking in the housekeeping skills (I am trying to be nice with my choice of words...LOL).  Greg on the other hand I find to be pretty neat and clean.  But I believe that comes from his years at military school.  Yes.  He grew up going to a Military academy.  I find that interesting.  I like hearing his stories.     

I completely forgot to weigh in this past weekend.  I guess I will wait till next Friday. 

Sharon- Nice going on your decent paycheck.  I hear lawyers are notorious for being cheap.  Have fun with your granddaugter

Lisa- have fun with your tea party or did you have it already?? 

Well back to work.  Have a nice day.  It looks like it will be a perfect day...and I will be inside for most of it. 

Happy Saturday.

I have got a load of laundry washed, dryed and put away. I also took and switched Hubert's closet from winter to summer. And also switched his shirts around, so maybe he will wear some different ones.

Now I am going to pick up the kitchen, and then go pick up some stuff  I forgot yesterday when we did the main shopping. Plus get some vitamins I am out of.

Hopefully then, I will be able to get outside and finish sweeping the deck, and putting the chairs and stuff out.

Oh, we are now the new grandparents of baby robins that were born in the nest on the porch light.

Have a great day,

Hugs,

Hi folks,

Nothing much new here except work at the store which is really like playing. We have a good group coming in today which makes it extra fun. Who knew you could enjoy retail so much! Dawn, I feel bad that your retail experience is not fun but I'm sure a big company would be a pain. I worked in a fabric store once and was also fun but I spent all my income on fabric! LOL. Big box is probably a lot like a factory! I hope you find something that you enjoy!

Tomorrow I'm going to the Pec Thing with Kelly and her family while Kay does the store. She's been gardening some this week so it's mu turn to play. Hope the weather stays OK.

Take care,

Connie
