Daily Ooos: August 27-28: Weekend Edition

[Cherylndesigns]

Hello all,

It's almost noon and I need to get busy. I should clean today but like you Chris @faerywings I probably won't. "Tomorrow is another day". LOL Sounds like you made everybody happy, including the dogs. Entenmann's always hits the spot. You can't go wrong with them! The girls and I had fun Friday - nothing crazy happened for a change. The pedi chair did not leak, I did not cause a flood, it was a quiet day. We're having family dinner tonight and hopefully, we'll play a crazy game. Ava has a new "friend" and he'll be there. He was there last Sunday, but Roger wasn't there and we didn't play a game. I'm sure we will tonight. When they build their home, they ordered this crazy long dining room table, and we totally fill it up! Now with the two extra bf's it's packed. It's a really cool table - handmade and has a long bench on one whole side and chairs on the ends and on the other side. Very unique. I'll take you some pics - yes, it's my apothecary. LOL

@LSlycord Gary and I were watching a show where one character was all up in arms that his neighbor lets his dog sleep on his bed and Gary and I were laughing so hard at that. Can you imagine? Life revolves around sleeping dogs, right? LOL
Is Shaun going to be ok when Decker leaves again? I know he is very attached to him. And it seems very mutual
The one internship that my nephew is hoping to get is an unpaid one, but it is in DC so the benefit is that he might be able to network to something permanent. The other one that he is interviewing for is $15/hr and only 20 hours a week. but he is desperate to find something in his field. I feel awful for him
Scott turned down the job at the ecology center- it was more administrative than he wanted and is still hopeful that something is going to turn up in the County Park division. I know he has a couple of applications out there but he doesn't like to talk about it so I have trying not to ask unless he opens up about it
Hahahaha!! I got this visual of your brain looking like an IKEA catalog for the past two months! I bet it felt that way.
You have the best kids-(2nd best-- right after mine ). So-- job interview on Wed. Good luck and I hope that whatever is best for you is what happens- and your travel plans should be a priority (IMNot-So Humble Opinion of course)

@BrightEyes I truly wish that it could be DST permanently. (I know you are the opposite) but the darker mornings are already making me struggle to get out of bed. Not to wake up, that part is still way too easy- but to crawl out of bed is tough and getting tougher
drat, I was hoping that the thyroid was causing the chilly feeling, that would have been a relatively easy fix. That is still happening after the BP med adjustment?
That is wonderful that DS#1 is coming to visit
Would you believe that my finger was still hurting yesterday? Today is the first day the swelling seems down and it is not painful to bend. Looking back I prob should have gone to Urgent Care to get it glued.

@taxed4ever Sounds like you had a mix of errands and family time yesterday. Was BIL able to fix your power washer?
And really now--- your ILs are going get rid of some of their junk???? Maybe I have a chance that my Gary will do the same here (hell must be freezing over LOLOL!!!)
Have a good time the rest of the weekend!

@tanteva Ummmm, I don't want to tell you how much we pay a month for heating oil. I wish we had our old wood stove. When we put the addition on, we had to get rid of it if we wanted stairs to get to the second floor and now there isn't a free wall to put one in. I used to pay $200 a month for oil (we have hot water baseboard heat) and it went up to $400 a month. We keep the house at 66*F in the winter during the day and 62* at night.
But no matter, it truly sucks that the pellets for your heating are so high, and I hope that the winter is mild for you. It is not easy anywhere.
I can see why you want to get as many hours in as you can while you can. How are you doing with the silly people coming in to vote? Is your tongue bleeding from biting it? Hope not toooo badly.

@vickyday I think you are right, time to go to the dr if the headaches are not easing up. Do you wear glasses? Maybe your vision changed? Those cantaloupes must be huge-- 9 lbs!! Bigger than my babies were, much bigger LOL
What is brush-hogging? whatever it is, I am glad you aren't doing it in the heat
Glad that your stomach is feeling better.
I am a Jersey Girl! We got "down the shore" to the Belmar area. My mom's family had a house there when she was growing up, wish it was still in the family. Belmar/Spring Lake are a few beach towns north of Seaside where the (awful) show, Jersey Shore was taped. It is much quieter, there is no Boardwalk/games rides/etc

@pachimac Good luck with the new phone plan. I hate how there are so few (cable/internet) companies to choose from, they really have you over a barrel.


xoxoxo

@Cherylndesigns your afternoon with the girls sounds incredible-- pedis/food/drinks-- and I bet a lot of laughing.
Yes, take picture of your herbal jars! It must look liker a little apothecary on the counter

I do wear glasses but am pretty sure most of my morning headaches are sinus related as my head starts clogging up as soon as I put my head to the pillow at night. And lots of times the pressure is relieved as soon as I get up. I've tried raising the head of my bed, but I cannot sleep at all like that! I do think some of the headaches are caused from neck problems. I hear stuff going on in my neck when I turn it from side to side. I don't know what it is. Maybe bones in my neck. I just need to break down and go to the doctor!

Do you know what a bushhog is? Maybe that is the word you are familiar with. It is piece of machinery that cuts/mows down bigger stuff than grass, like brush and tall weeds, small trees, etc. The heat doesn't bother Mark the way it does me, so that is definitely his job, lol! Actually, ALL outside work is Mark's. I only do gardening in the evening! And that 9 lb cantaloupe is mostly rind, I think, as something was starting to eat on it but never did get to the fruit! I'll probably cut into it this week. We have 2 more cantaloupes that are about ready to pick, too.

And speaking of babies.....ALL 4 of mine weighed more than 9 lbs.....two even weighed 10 +!

My late husband lived in Pt. Pleasant Beach for several years before his family moved to KY where I met him. He talked about him and his brothers taking metal detectors down to the boardwalk to look for coins so they could buy hot dogs. We vacationed there and stayed with his mom's sister the year I was pregnant with our first child. That's the only time I've ever been there. We went to the original Jersey Mike's sub shop while we were there. The owner asked me, "and what can I get for the lady with a basketball under her shirt?" LOL
