WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY

Guess im just a glutton for punishment lol ....they ask me last night if i would work today and i said yes . oh well that will make my paycheck that much more ...and that will be on the one that i get on the 10th so will be good. I have several things sit up to be paid on the 10th anyway since my lights and house and some other bills etc etc are to be paid on the 25th...

Hey Lana if you are going shopping in your closet for purses and jewerly you can shop for me too. My purses are awful they arent very pretty at all. and what girl would nt like more jewerly lol

Susan really sorry for all your loses. Tell Andy he better behave.....have you all had your meetings with the plastic surgeon at the learning hospital yet? I bet that would have a big impact on Andys heart too , to not have to haul around that extra skin he has.  Sure do miss you all.  the meeting this month is on the 19th....sure hope you all can come...you can stay all night in our trailer if you would like....George has moved out into an apartment so he will be closer in. cant blame him but miss the little bugger.

my my tomorrow is my oldest childs birthday, Teresa will be officially older than i feel now....lol ....She will be 50 and i just dont think that is possible, there could not have been that many years past since i had that beautiful adorable little bundle of bliss. I thought i had been given the most wonderful thing in the world when i looked at her. She was so so pretty. looked like a little doll. blonde hair and big dark eyes.. perfect peaches and cream complextion. ...just beautiful havent seen a baby that looked just like that again until Her daughter was born. looked like the same beautiful child from years before.

Well the tree guy came yesterday and cut a tree at our neighbors house and he is suppose to come next week to cut the two elms in our yard. I hate to cut them they are huge but one of them is splitting down the middle and the other one has a big big hole in it. dont want to take the chance of another bad winter ice storm splitting them and finding them on top of our house. because they are both right where that is where they would land. We have plenty of other trees in the front just none that tall...but that is all right they seem to dwarf the house anyway. the others are big dogwoods and redbuds , mimossa ....so we will still have lots of shade ....
talking of trees , Joe ask me what i wanted for Christmas this year and i told him i want a Japanese Maple the ones with the fillergreed leaves. and that is red.   lol he doesnt know how much they are but that is the only way i will ever get one is for a gift ....but thnk i will plant it in a large large contaIner so if we do sell and move i can take it with me lol ....sure wouldnt want to go off and leave it. that is for sure.

well got to go get some protein coffee, and get my day going. Im so sore , that i feel like someone beat me half to death....it is from using the leaf blower for about half a day....Joe said i used it for about 4 hours. my arms are so sore they hurt to touch them even , so im going to go run me a tub of water in the whirlpool and soak.....so got to go  make myself into a prune.

have a great day in the Lord...

Jan,
I hear you on the prune thing. I've been scared to read my Kindle in the whirlpool tub but I talked to a lady who volunteers at the blood bank when I donated last Saturday and she said she puts hers in a zip lock bag when she reads in the tub. Now why didn't that ever occur to me?
I hear you about Ecuador. I think I'd like Cuenca or maybe San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Those both sound good to me but right now I'm afraid of Mexico. If you visit this winter will you drive? I think I'd want a car when I got wherever I was going.
Right now all I want is to retire in Kansas City area. It is closer to DD and also I really like bigger cities. And, I feel comfortable driving in KC - feel like I have a general idea of where things are located, unlike my total confusion in St. Louis.
I want to go to Branson this weekend but I doubt if I can convince DH. I will need to clean one day for sure. Big dogs make big muddy footprints when they come in from outdoors. John is good at floors but I do the kitchen above the floor and the bathrooms and I dust too. It's a pain but I feel good about it when it's done.
Gotta go and help a student.
Love you all.
Lana

Lana i dont think you could drive to Ecuador....lol    Cuenca is a really pretty and nice town ...but we have been looking at property about 46 minutes north of there in the Andes. about 10000ft elevation. nice breezes and temps in low 70s and low in 40s at night...no insects. ....eternal spring. organic veggies and fruit cost about 2.00 for two large bags full. could turn into a veggetarian for sure there at those prices. lol .....Elect bills run anywhere from 10dollars a month to 20dollars a month ....no heat or air needed.
sounds like heaven doesnt it. we are going probably in January....we are going to look in mountains , beaches and all around not in the Amazon jungle tho that would be too hot and sticky for me .
we would prefer country living to big city living ....just us ole country people...
at least if we did move somewhere like that everyone would have a place to come on vacations lol all it would cost is plane fare.
Oh we can rent a car there at the airports if we want to drive. but busses go into the country side to small towns costing a quarter....and cabs are really cheap too....real cheap
anyway ...it is all just a dream right now but may be a certainty once we go and see. 
 
need to teach your doggy to stop when going into the house to have his paws wiped off. the one little house dog i had we taught her that. she would come in and stand on her rug until we cleaned her feet. lol

Right now Daisy Dog is too bouncy to stop for anything except a "hoped for" treat. She's such a puppy but there is so much hope for her future because she is a smart dog. Thank you Lord that you gave me a smart dog to rescue because at her size it would be too much if she has big and dumb!!!
I'll live in Cuence and you can live 45 miles north in the country and then we'll both have a place to come and visit!! You know I'm a big city girl.
Hugs,
Lana

 If medical care was available and as good as here I just might move with you. I have discussed leaving the states but it just seems risky. Who knows I may do it  one day.

Susie most of all of the surgeons and doctors there have done all of their training in the United States...so the care is like it is here only lots lots cheaper.......a doctors visit there is only 15 dollars not 150.00 lol  ...have to be more adventurious girls .....

Good evening OH,

Well had the stress test today, I feel like it went good. Could get results in a day or could be 4 days. I only know that after the treadmill, they did a sono gram and let me leave. I felt so good after doing the treadmill, ended up going to Battlefield Mall and walking around there to un-wind some. Think I got that natural high that runners get afterward.

Have been super busy, still have to go the Aurora tomorrow to finish up the warranty work on the car, have a vaporizer valve not working, so guess it doesn't get the right amount of fuel to the injectors. Will sure be glad when they are done with it.

Jan~Sounds to me like you have a plan, would be awesome to be able to live somewhere like that. If you do move down there, please look for a single man that loves children, if you find him maybe I can move down there too. Then we could go visit Lana and do some shopping. LOL.

Lana~ I washed and groomed my ****er on Saturday, brought him in the house and he was so good, thought for sure he would tear the trash or worse yet, spray my furniture. He didn't do any of that, he just demands all of my attention, at least until today. Let him out to go potty and he took off and wouldn't come in, tonight when I got home he was waiting. Fed him and ate my supper, went outside for a minute came in and he had turn the trash can over. He's laying behind me now pouting cause I scolded him. Really surprise me cause he's 10 years old and acts like a two year old pup.

Susan~I'm so sorry for your loses this last week, you and the families are in my prayers. So glad to hear Andy is doing better. Hope we get to see you at the next meeting. (Promise I will make sure somebody else covers for me, so I won't have to leave.)

Need to close this and get some dishes done, hope you all have a good day tomorrow.

HUGS
