i have not left town, just been lazy about reading and posting. i so need to get back here on a more regular basis.
life is fairly calm at the moment, im getting ready for next weeks trip to north carolina to spend turkey week with my younger son, his girlfriend, my two grand kitties and the new grandpuppy. mikes girlfriend adopted a lab mix and she is gonna be one big doggie. she
is real cute though, hope she likes her new grandmom (me).
anyway, my older son is driving down with me (read he drives) and im excited about spending some time with both of them. i want to take mike shopping to costco and restock his pantry a bit, since he is still without a job.
otherwise just the usual stuff going on here. im going to a wedding tonight with my friend from the Pub. that should be interesting as i wont really know anyone there. hope i dont get too bad a cases of the shysies. i dont even know the bride and groom LOL.
anyway hugs to you all, i miss you big time.

I need to get my skinny butt moving as I have to be at work an hour early today. Thank goodness it's my Friday! I do not like 8:00 a.m. appointments, but it's all that was left for today and the client just happens to be my son's boss, so I guess I'll chalk it up to a Mother's duty???
Well girls, I have an interesting situation; another "crap, what have I done" moment. Yesterday I had some dermal filler injected into the lines around my nose and mouth. You know, the ones that make you look like you're sad? Well, I think she put too much into one side because I feel like I'm a hamster. Not sure if anything can be done about it, but I have a message in to her and will see what she says. I keep hoping it will settle down, icing and massaging the area, which you are supposed to do every two hours, I'm just doing it waaaaaaaaaaay more often.
Life is an adventure, isn't it?
Okay, off to the shower. Hope my antics over the last two days have provided some chuckles for you all. Laughing is all I can do about it myself!
Love and hugs to all

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good mornin', ya'll.
I LOVE eggnog......I HATE eggnog! Bought my first and last quart of the season yesterday. Had a glass, then another glass. My DIL says just drink one serving, just include it in your daily calories. Who can drink 1/2 cup? Well, I finished off the quart last night. I guess my calorie count is shot for 3 days!!
Yesterday I made 2 more quillows and 2 tie together fleece blankets (those are a sinch). Also a bunch of fleece dog chew toys using scraps. Monday I will begin Halloween costumes. Not before that cause I hate being interrupted when I sew, and on the weekend I have people in and out all day.
Our son and DIL went and ordered a sleep number bed yesterday. My DH and I are going tomorrow to check into them. Maybe that will help my back and hips and my DH's crampy legs. They are spendy, but I have only heard good things about them. We are thinking of the split king. Anyone have experience with them?
Our grandson has a big play-off soccer game in Raleigh this afternoon. Sorry, I'm not going 2 hours to sit in the freezing cold for 3 hours and then drive back. I go to the local games. But, because of the game our son and DIL will miss the Marine Corps Ball. They bought their tickets so they are supporting the event. But neither of them enjoy going, and this is an acceptable excuse for not attending. I guess 26 years of having to go has taken it's toll.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

DON'T buy a Sleep Number until your son and DIL get theirs and decide if they like it.
I've got one. It's okay, I'm not thrilled, but it's a lot easier to change the sheets. It's a plastic surround casing with an air mattress that fits on the inside. I got mine from Craig's List for $450. Just look at the guts of it and see what it looks like. When the guy I bought mine from came, it was in the back seat of his car. It's a put-together.
Get an Aerobed and see if you like it before you spend the BIG bucks for a Sleep Number. I don't think I sleep any better on it but then again... My number keeps changing!!! I go from 35-100.. the cover wasn't soft enough for me so I put a down cover over it.

Dont bother with the sleep number bed!!!!! I have one and I so hate it!!!!! I cant seem to get the numbers right on my side of the bed. I feel like I am sleeping on a cyst!!!!! We have a queen one.
I am going to be looking into a Therapudic one. My daughter has one and I love it.......

Glad you popped out to say hi Jacki, I was wondering where you'd been and this week, in particular, there was little phone time to be had. . .congrats on the new grandpuppy and can you believe that Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away? I would really like to know where the time goes?
Anyway, I am doing ok, things to get done around here today, cleaning, shopping and then babysitting for the grands tonight. . .
Found out yesterday that my surgeon is leaving the place where I had my surgery and moving to Kentucy to practice there, lucky people there, but it stinks for those of us who had her as our surgeon, as she is really a wonderful doctor and I know from others that it is not easy to find another surgeon to follow-up, while I like my pc, I really liked having the surgeon who did my surgery on hand for once a year follow-up. . . oh well, this is life at it's best, things change and we just have to work through it all.
Well I got interrupted several times while writing this post, so I need to get busy doing the housework. . .
You all have a good day and wishing peace and strength to those dealing with the challenges of living that are certainly not pleasant.
Hugs, Laureen

I'm all bruised and battered from my fall yesterday ... everything hurts, my right shoulder, my knees, I have a big bruise on my left knee, I'm having problems moving my right arm. Not as bad as last night when I was really in pain at work. So different here ... if I came in with my cane and limping and looking like I did last night in Grand Rapids, everyone would have asked what happened. Here, no one said a word. No one cares about anyone. So sterile, unfeeling.
It's raining here today and I'm off ... no football for me. I'm waiting for Comcast to come here and fix my phone service. They reconnected everything but then turned off my phone. I still have my cell phone, though. I had to get up early to wait for them (then my alarm didn't go off, so I hope the guy didn't get here at 8 a.m.).
Anyway, no big plans for me today. Just going to ice my knees, relax and enjoy my day off. Have a good day.
I'm feeling a lot better today. I think Thursday was the worst, Friday the turning point. I'm still coughing and a little stuffy, but unfortunately, my appetite has returned. I was lazy for a week, pushed fluids, and slept whenever I felt like it (which was most of the time, I think). It was nice not to have to worry about missing work or putting my co-workers in a bind.
It's been beautiful weather the past few days but tomorrow looks like it's going to get cold and rainy again. So I'm headed outside today to rake some leaves and do the last mowing of the lawn for this year. Then I can clean up the mower for the year and organize my garage for the winter. I still have a few big things outside that need to come into the garage. After I make room, I'll ask the neighbor to come and help me move them.
I'm starting to think about calling someone for a window replacement estimate. They never thought it was necessary in the 1950's to insulate brick homes, and the house is too drafty, now that I'm home so much. Prolly won't get them done till Spring, but this way I'll know how much $$$ I have to put away. I guess home improvements are in my blood. I can't seem to stop.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend.
