what's new saturday?

It's 7:05... I've GOT to finish getting dressed, clean the car out, head for MY $4, then to Kara's and take her to HER $4, then to Arties' Playhouse to see "The Unhappy Princess", then to lunch where they have a tablecloth and flowers (Kara's request).  I'm not much in the mood to take her anywhere.   The kids invited me to a spur of the moment Mother's Day dinner last night. Kara was horrible. If they don't get a handle on her smart mouth and total disrespect for her mother now, they are in BIG trouble.  I wanted to spank her tiny little A$$... and almost did.  Difficult for me to talk today... I bit the end off my tongue.  KIDS!!!  PARENTS!!!! The kids did give me ONE ticket to see Neil Diamond in October.  Floor seating.  I went alone last time and enjoyed it...... I'll do concerts by myself.... train to get there... train to get home... no parking, no hassles....parking is $20... train is $3 round trip. News coming on the job front... good news/bad news kinda thing.... one more approval from management on an assistant management position///bad news is.... goals are different and I will end up not making as much... but no more staying until 12 a.m. to keep up with my HUGE portfolio and no more staying late... I can leave at a decent time and actually see if I can get a life.... so, keep your fingers crossed.. it ain't happened yet. Janet

Hi Janet, I've got my fingers and toes crossed that the new job comes and it turns out to be the absolute best thing for you!  Heck, I might even cross my eyes.......   I wish you a LIFE and more joy! Hugs, Kathi

just got up and coffee is brewing , im sitting here rubbing my right shoulder, it is hurting so badly this morning, I have about decided to go ahead and have surgery on it but not this summer there are so many things i have planned that an arm in a sling doesnt go well with. lol  It will have to wait till after August anyway, My highschool 50th reunion is then and i dont want to go in a sling to that at all.  Hopefully before the reunion i can schedule a chemical peel for all these wrinkles in my face that werent there before losing all this weight. I dont mind the loose skin elsewhere nearly as bad as i do the wrinkles in the face, Not real sure about a face lift but will try a chemical peel and see if that does what i want first.  what am i going to do today, more of the same thing i always do in the spring time , plant , clean flower beds etc etc. Have almost everything out of the green house now except Tomato plants and they are going to go into the ground next week i think, nights are staying above 50 now so i think they will be ok.  We had 2 big trees cut yesterday , both were too close to the greenhouse and winds dropping limbs were getting to close to the g-house. so we have to finish cleaning all of that up.  Finish putting up the critter fence around the garden to keep the bunnies and whatever out.  got to go take all my vits. and some pain pills to get started for the day and get in a cup of hot coffee protein drink. kick start me so to speak. something needs to this morning..

yes..its true!! Here I am at 8:30 in the morning!

Only because I went to bed and just couldnt turn my HEAD off! So I got up and spent three hours sorting thru old boxes of papers here in the computer room...well at least I was productive for a while..maybe now I can relax and get some sleep...what a waste of a Saturday! I had plans of doing major cleaning in my kitchen..if I sleep now, I wont get much done today at all..catch 22....well POOH!

ah well, back to bed *grumbles slightly*

Hi all, I am up at 5am and having a little coffee and toast.  Then I am going to go back to bed for a little nap! Nail appt and tanning today. I know it's not good for me, but I just go a few times, don't get really tan tan and it's sooooo warm I love it. Then I might go grocery shopping and go to the thrift store and pick up a few more tops and dresses. Down one more lb from those I gained on my scrapbook weekend, only have 1 more to go. Only four more days till Tom gets back home. Went to the bachelorette party last night and laughed my head off. Those girls were very funny. Didn't eat or drink but just enjoyed getting to know the people a little better. I was second to the oldest but for once one of the smallest! That was weird. I was usually the biggest or at least one of the biggest. Well, my eyes are getting sleepy so off I go... Have a lovely Saturday you all! C

I'm up early too, but not for long. I somehow pulled my knee joint out of place while sleeping- that woke me up fast! OW! It popped right back in thank goodness. I don't have much going on today, just resting up to make up for the crazy last two weeks of school. We are going to the Texas Road House for early dinner tomorrow with my Mom and the rest of our family. Hopefully it won't be too much of a wait. Next week I will be in San Francisco again for boob appointments. I have my fingers crossed again - hoping that the left boob scare is nothing. Not that what I've been through on the right was that horrible. I would just rather not do that again.... oh, I got my hair cut short on Thursday. It's falling out so much that I was not liking the longer style. This is quite a change, but cute! I can wear it short now- no fat face to cover any longer! Happy Mother's Day all! Julia

Good Morning Annette and everyone......... I am doing a quick check in to be sure all is well with everyone. I am headed out the door to do the Garage Sales with my friend Pam today.....whoooohooo....more than 60 in one area!! Should be a blast!! Prayers to those in need...hugs....and love....connie d

Happy Saturday Annette and Everyone, I slept for almost 10 hours last night!  I guess the several nights of no sleep finally caught up with me.  I feel like Rip Van Winkle -- really rested and ready to go.  Go I will with running tons of errands today.  I have to get the car smogged to be able to renew the state license.  Never done that one before so this is new territory for me.  We're going to brunch tomorrow with son and his "in-law" family so I must find small Mother's Day gifts to give.  I have cards but hope to find trinkets.  We'll see. I heard from the surgeon's office yesterday about the scheduling and timetable for the next few weeks.  That was pretty exciting.  It's slowly become "real" for me.  Hard to explain since it's been a "some day" thing for so long.  Hubby is so funny because he thinks he's helping by planning what I need to take to the hospital and how long I'll be gone.  We see food commercials on tv and he asks me if I will ever be able to eat that.  Well, my response is, "I don't eat that now!"  He's getting a grasp on this, too, I think.  It's all good! Have a wonderful Saturday and Happy Mother's Day tomorrow. Hugs, Kathi

My only dayof the week to sleep in and I was awake at 5 am. I finally got up at six and good thing I did. My sis called me to tell me happy annivesary if the phone had woke up DH he woulnd't have been in a good mood.  He has trouble sleeping.  She said she wanted to be the first to tell us happy anniversary.  Good thing is it reminded me to go buy a card.  Guess after 33 yrs we wait till the last minute to buy each other a card. It is raining here..........at least no yard work will get done today.  Last night someone paint balled one of our cars no damage but grrrrrrrr it could have been worse.   Still looking at my exercise DVD I bought and it is still in the wrapper......I need someone to kick me in the butt to get me motivated. It's now 9 a.m. so guess I should think about getting out of my jammies and start doing something. Have a nice day Barb

you can exercise in your jammies!!!!!!!!!! kick.....oops-sorry-didn't mean to hurt ya!!!!!
