HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE...WHAT'S HAPPENING??
Hello all my sweet sistas!
Last day of 2012! This has been a very busy year for me. I'm hoping that things can calm down a bit in 2013.
It is raining here at last. Not nearly enough, but we are still in drought conditions and any moisture is greatly appreciated. Not cold enough to make ice, so that's good. I am patiently waiting for my sweet DH to come home this evening. Talked to him this morning and he was hoping to leave by noon, which will put him here around 6 p.m.
I have been meaning to tell you all about Latisse--that Rx to make your eyelashes grow? It WORKS! I've been using it the past few months, and I am amazed at how long and curly my eyelashes are. I still don't like to wear mascara, but at least now when I do put it on, I'm thrilled with the results! And my pale blonde eyelashes are a bit darker, too. At least you can see them without the mascara now.
I also had a Rx for some Lamisil--the stuff that kills toenail fungus? Oh, I had the toenail from hell, let me tell you. I was so embarrassed all summer to go to the pool or the lake and show my feet. It was so bad, I couldn't even go to get a pedicure. You could not have painted that toenail if your life depended on it--it was so bad. Well, it's just about completely gone now. Soon as the weather warms up next Spring, I'm going to get my toenails done!
Now my next body improvement project is to lose this 10 pounds I've gained back and try and tone up my stomach muscles. I haven't done a sit up in about a 100 years! But I think I need to. I may never have a bikini body again, but maybe I don't have to be quite this flabby around the middle.
Benny Bop is a little better today I think. His nose has stopped running so badly, and his cough sounds better. He certainly has regained his energy. He spent most of the morning running Chris and I ragged! Thank God for nap time!
Somehow, I think I missed the cold that Benny and Chris both had. I feel fine. Maybe I dodged it.
We have no big plans for tonight either, Judy. Butch will be worn out from his long drive. I doubt either one of us makes midnight. But that's okay. It's a good NYE for me just to have him home in our bed. I have spent way too many nights alone in the last 31 years. I try to never take one for granted.
I'm not making any big NY resolutions. I never keep them anyway. I did read a very intriguing idea on FB from a woman I don't even know, but I think I will try it. She picks one word each year and works on that word all year long. She said last year's word was "listen". Not a bad idea, huh? I'm thinking that my word for the year might be "patience".
So, Happy New Year to you all. Trish, you hang in there with your mom and sis. Connie, thinking about you and Pam today. Judy, hope you emerge from the white stuff soon. There was more to say, but I can't remember it. Maybe my word for the new year should be "memory"! LOL!
Love you all!
Vickie
Hey Vic...I know what you mean with just having your hubby home and in your bed....had to have been so hard at times when alone!!! So WHEN does he retire now??? soon I hope!!!
As for the fungus...ever try VICKS VAPO RUB?? That is what I used and it is all gone now!! Miracle!!! Vicks is used for EVERYTHING and it really does work!!!!
Sit-ups...OMG I have not done them in years either...BUT its easier on the body to do them laying on the bed!!! ;-) I remember my husband at the time doingthem on the water bed...OMG talk about waves!!!! Thought one of those times it would explode!!!!!!!!!! But it never did...LOL
Glad that Benny is feeling better!! BUT don't go saying you dodged it yet...double up on the vitamin C for a week or so just incase!!!
The word for the New Year...sounds good to me...PATIENCE AND MEMORY!!!! LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS
Good evening Judy and everyone....
It is 8PM and I am finally home. We had so much to do with all of Pam's mom's things. I am beyond exhausted. I was invited to two house parties and with a group at a bar for New Years Eve. I am not doing anything! I am taking a very hot shower and going to bed. I finally had something to eat as I haven't eaten at all today except for a quick protein shake early this morning. Pam and I figured it out and we think we had about 10 hours of sleep in the last 5 days. Pam gave me her mom's new lift chair. A friend of mine came and picked it up at the nursing home for me. Another friend was supposed to meet us at home. He never showed up...he fell asleep! My sister's condo is in an upper level. Guess who helped Trent carry that chair up the 14 steps....ME!! I can hardly use my arms now. My body is screaming...I feel like screaming too!! I will try to post again tomorrow....not sure when I will wake up!!! Thank you all for caring so much!! I appreciated all the prayers, love and hugs!!!
Good Night and Happy New Year!!!! Prayers for many in need.
Love and hundreds of hugs to all....connie d
