What's new MONDAY????

Annette, your cleaning the linen closet reminds me that I have one to do too. Ick! I hate cleaning that one too. It seems like things get tossed in there when someone (namely Bill, but you didn't hear that) has something in his hand and is standing by the linen closet. He is just like a kid when he has something in his hands~the closest place at hand is where it gets put. So for once it isn't Misty making the mess it is him.

Annette,

My cats love closets too ... actually, Diva can open closets. She opens the closets so the other two can sleep in them. I have fluffy white fur on top of my suitcases to remind me of Nettie wherever I go.

Good Morning George and all,

Well, chalk up another failed loaf of bread! I give up! I give up! I will go to a bread store after work and see what I can find and will be on the lookout for the Ezekiel bread. Damn!

Not much new here, bought new undies down another size! yay!

Went school shopping with Beth, that was a fun day after all.

Did laundry, took a nap. Nothing too exciting.

Had a dream that I was working in some awful factory job on an assembly line where everyone was really mean and I had to change diapers on a kangaroo! I think the kangaroo part was from a news report on tv the other night about a nursing home that had cats and dogs and a baby kangaroo with diapers that the residents loved. Anyway, along with this really hard job with mean people, I also had my full time job where I work now. I kept telling Tom I just couldn't do it! Then I woke up, thank goodness.

So, today I will appreciate only having my job I have in real life!

Have a great Monday!
Cheryl

  Cheryl,
That was a funny dream. Makes you appreciate your real job.

I kept the Ezeliel bread in the freezer and took out one slice at a time for toasting. It is very dense and heavy - yummy too.

Cheryl, now I think I have heard it all. Diapers on a kangaroo! Oh my what a job, and what dreams we have. I just sat here and laughed at your dream. It is a good thing tht some things we dream about never come true, isn't it? It puts a whole new perspective on what you have in your life doesn't it?

Good Morning My OFF Family & George!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, it's never an easy thing, especially when the person is so highly thought of. . .

Well my weekend was busy with going to visit my cousin up in the Poconos, which was a good visit and then yesterday I went sailing with two friends on the one friend's co-workers sail boat, at first there seemed to be no real wind, but then we found some and it was just a lovely 5 hours spent on the boat, then I went home and decided to just stay home and get to bed early, which I did, but I got into a movie and well at 10 o'clock I shut the television off and went to sleep, but 4:30 sure did come around fast and it's at work I am now, after which I will go to the gym and then get myself home to bed to do it all again tomorrow.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

George, I'm sorry to hear of your friend's passing.  We attended services for the wife of one of George's cousins Sat.  She is classified a Gustav death.  She was diabetic was not able to eat properly while evacuating for Gustav.  When she reached her destination (another cousin's house in Arkansas), she had a decent meal, went to bed and fell into a diabetic coma in her sleep.  Air lifted to Jacksonville, AR.  Never regained consciousness, and passed away four days later.
 
On a lighter note, George and I went to see Tropic Thunder yesterday.  Rather funny, but I'd have rathered a chick flick.  Well, hunting season is upon us, and there will be plenty of time for me to see those while he's out hunting with the guys.

Judy,

How do you live with so much drama in your life?  I'd have to be dead and buried.  My house is so quiet you can drop a pin and hear it. There is 'nary a cross word spoken and the only people that invade my space are friends with smiles on their faces.

I hope life settles down for you.

Janet

Good morning, George and all. I am praying that things are on their way back to normal. There has to be an end somewhere.

George, I am sending my sympathies to you at the lost of your friend. I know that it hard to lose those that we are close to. It doesn't matter if we meet them or not. They still hold a very close spot in our hearts and our lives whether or not they are physically in our lives or not. I have a lot of them like that.

Nothing much going on here this morning. I can't believe that I slept until 8:30 this morning. I woke up and asked Bill what time it was (I was to lazy to turn over to look at the clock) and he told 8:30 and I was shocked. That hasn't happened in a long time. Usually I am up at 5 if not earlier. Maybe all those nights with just a couple hours of sleep are starting to take their toll on me. I slept like a rock last night too. Another unusual night with that going on too.

The sun has been out all morning but now it is gone. Oh dear! The weather channel said that we have a 30% chance of rain today. I would usually say that is no big deal but with all that we have gotten that sounds like a lot to me today. It is looking kind of cloudy. Please God, no one can take anymore rain. Bill's cousin Trudy said to me last night that she is taking comfort in the scripture that God said that He will not ruin the earth by water again. I am taking Him at his word and walking with it.

I am planning on staying home and doing some stuff around here. Just finishing touches with the living room to do, dusting and such. Bill shampooed the carpets through the house and they look so nice. He used his nephews carpet cleaner and we want to get one like it. It is a Bissell something and it is so nice and easy to use. It gets so much of the water out of the carpets too, and so they never feel damp either. They look so nice and I am glad that is done. They were looking pretty bad too. Now things are starting to get put together and looking pretty good here. Now all I have to do is the 2 hall closets and the bedroom things. The 2 closets in the bedroom are cleaned and looking nice. I am late in getting the spring cleaning done but I would rather look at it as I am doing early spring cleaning for next year.

I guess I had better get going. I am sending lots of love and plenty of big old hugs to all. Prayers are going up for everyone and special ones for those in need of them. That takes care of most everyone from the sounds of it.
