Happy Friday, my O-Fam.

Can I just say.....
OMG Nana, you are crazy!! Get that girl some coffee STAT!! Spike it with some vodka or Xanax or something. :pound:

Nope, you know I am just kidding, I *totally* get the not having coffee crisis. When we lost power for a few days back in Sept and Oct, the one time Gary went out and bought a Box of Joe from Dunkin Donuts and the other time, I took my kettle over to my neighbor's and used their gas stove to boil water for instant. No way can I leave with out my beloved coffee.

But nana, oh girl, you had me cracking up!!! Glad your keurig is here!

Today I am off to clean one more house. then I have to get my act together and tidy up my own. Tomorrow we are off to my friend's House Party, the same theme as the one I had last week. We also applied for a Godiva Chocolatini Party-- oh, i really hope one of us gets that one. LOL

Finish It Friday:
I have stacks of magazines i have been trying to sort through, why i feel the need to read them before I recycle them (they were passed down to me) I don't know, but there just *might* be the most amazing recipe or hint in one of them and my life will never be complete if I don't see it.
 
hi Linda S!! You have been a Gallery Commenting Fiend!

I only got the email saying that you have a new email Nana. I'll check my junk, but I haven't seen anything else. :(

Kirsty- I saw your page too! Great job!

Trudy- i don't see why they wouldn't let wine cross the border. If not- put in it a grape juice bottle and they will never know the difference. :angel:


Yvon- bed at 8:30? Thats a late might for me LOL enjoy your time off. let those legs rest.

Hi Phyllis-hope the stomach feels better today. Do you take prilosec or something similar? Gary has reflux bad too, on top of all of the nausea and vomiting. but that helps him a bit.

Nana-- I am still cracking up...... :rofl:

Maureen- hugs hugs and more hugs. I wish I had answers or advice or *something* I can't imagine how difficult this is for all of you.

Nana- fingers crossed tight for the upswing to continue. And mostly for it to stick.


Love and hugs ans laughter and sun to all of you!!!
 
TGIF. except it pretty much looks like every other day to me!! one good thing is that, when i went to bed last night, the weather forecast was showing flakes. i wake up ( at 5:45 a.m....sigh...) and hear that it's going up to 50 degrees. wha? i better get out and do the errands i've been putting off.

Chris, i take Pepcid. my prob is that i'm too d*&^ FAT. if i knocked off 30 pounds i'd be better off by about 100%. i can't seem to get started with a "diet." why IS that??

Maureen. your page about Liz is so heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. you are always on my mind.



happy weekend!

HI ladies....

I was sleeping HARD this morning...and DID not want to get out of bed just yet!!! Probably an ibuprofen overdose :eek2: to help my arthritis/bercitits (sp) It's a lot worse this year....Probably stress...and as for my hands...well, my Mom always told me that if you put your hands in water a lot it will make it worse....I THINK SHE IS RIGHT!!! Since these kids have been here, obviously I am cleaning and washing more...baths, etc...... is MOM RIGHT?? or COINCIDENCE???


well...off to put Jesse on the but in a minute....


talk to you girls in a bit!! :grin:
 
thank you all for the comments on my page :)

yay friday....i woke up this morning and the first thing i said to hubby was "can we pretend its saturday?" buwahahahahaha he replies with "i wish...i wish" ohh well...its been a long week...and this weekend is going to be filled with us tearing apart a closet...because we have noticed some leaking coming from somewhere...we think it *may* be the pipes from the shower as the closet is right there were the back of the main bathroom shower is....so we will see we will get to tear apart the walls and ceiling in there ohhh JOY!!! haha

ummm we did taxes last night!! weeeeeeeee...can't wait for that to arrive into my bank account...just so i can say adios to it haha...cause i need to pay off a few bills!!!!

on a high note...the new windows we put in our old house..are going to FINALLY be paid off on Feb 1st...WEEEEEEEEEEEE 5 long years of paying on that! ugh! sucked for the last year and a half we were paying on them and we dont even LIVE in that house LOL...but yay that will be done anyways....at least while we were still there they more than paid for themselves saving us like 150 dollars in heating/cooling costs each month

umm what else do i want to talk about....hahahahahahahaha i dunno

Phylis...you WANT snow??? well if we ever get anymore i'll be sure to send it to you LOL

I need to clean my house too Chris....but yeah i really dont want to LOL i did enough of that cleaning someone else's yesterday LOL...

Linda...i think maybe...mom was right....i've learned to accept that there were things that my mom was right on that i was adamant that she was/would be wrong on LOL tis the way of life i think? lol
 
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!! Opps sorry didn't mean to yell :tape:!! Just had to get that out, it has been a very long week!! I can't wait for this day to be over with! Hurray up weekend!! Not really all that much happening this weekend for us, just glad that it is finally going to be here! I hope to get some sewing done on my teddy bears and perhaps start the painting jobs I need to do. A few groceries and hopefully if it is nice we can get in a long walk outside instead of using the treadmill. Hubby has lost over 10lbs because he has been using the treadmill and has stopped snacking at night, I however have only lost 3lbs, it is so unfair that men lose faster than women!!:sad:

Chris - Hope you get all of your cleaning done today, then you can play! Have fun at your friends party! I still have to check out the site for these parties that you do. I get so side tracked when I am online, I start to look for one thing and then I find 100 other things to look at, my attention span has shrunk over the years I think!:der:

Phylis - Sure hope that you get your errands done before you get anymore snow!! It really is hard to start a diet I know!! I also am hypothyroid so it makes it really hard for me to lose weight, but I feel so much better for getting the extra excercise and watching my portion sizes!! Weight Watchers is the only diet that has ever worked for me and right now you can join for free!!! They have a great online program too! Just saying.

Nana Linda - I bet you are enjoying your coffee this morning!! Awww the nectar of the Gods!!! :bounce: gotta have that caffeine buzzz in the mornings!! Perhaps you should try a paraffin wax treatment on your hands? So nice and warm and healing!! Hope your aches and pains fade away my friend!!

Kiliki - How nice that you will be getting some extra $$$ from the tax man, I am afraid we will be paying this year...Ugghh!! No holiday for us this year :pout: Spend it wisely!!

Maureen - :wave: thinking of you sweetie!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!
 
i hear ya on the weight Trudy....my dh always says "im getting fat" and i look at him with disgust every time....cause he is NOT fat...hes about 130lbs (5ft 6in)lol...i WISH!! well no...i dont want to be 130lbs lol thats too small for me....when i weighed 126lbs omg i looked so GROSS...tooooo skinny...but i think 145 would be nice LOL...maybe one day...only 12lbs to go LOL thats 5lbs less than i was like 3 weeks ago LOL...i contribute that 5lbs to no more pop though....now i just need to jump on the exercise bandwagon...every day instead of every so often LOL....yes im uber talkative today....i blame sleep deprivation for that...
 
Another day..not really good nor bad. Just a day like yesterday except Dick has driven off to Florida. He has been good back up for me, and really supportive in dealing with this daughter of mine. I'm glad I have someone in the house seeing her behavior because she can really pull the 'poor little me' routine any time. I'm glad he's getting a breather because as calm and easy going as he is, he doesn't like seeing me treated this way and was starting to simmer with irritation. What more do you want from a spouse?

(don't quote me on that next time I gripe about his ability to not 'see' dirt or clutter....LOL)

An old friend who has gone through chemo and has know Nong for 25 years called to talk to her today. I heard some of it...and inwardly laughed when I heard Nong say...She won't let me sleep.... and there was a lot of chatter on the GA side of the phone. I kept her awake all morning by changing the bed and taking all the afghans away from downstairs. She was just taking one and sleeping in any chair she'd find. So much for the mobility the doctor tasked me with re her.

Every food I make - from the endless recs and the way I knew to feed my mother when she had cancer is pushed around and then pushed away. I give each quarter cup meal 30 minutes at least. Even if it's something she asked for, she ends up not eating it. The trouble is that she has lost over 6 lb since she left the hospital. Anyhow she bitched that what she wanted was a lemon slurpee...which of course I don't have in the house. However, she's going to be surprised when I get her up... cause I have a Redbox "Moneyball" at the nearest 7/11...if they have the wretched drink she can get it, nutrition be damned.

She told our friend she's scared...I'm not sure which is scarier, dying which is not likely as the tumor responds very well to treatment, or being scared of living since she is back at the homeless, unemployed, etc state. I don't know if she's ready or really willing to begin to create a responsible life for herself. Taking sound advice has never been her choice.

Tomorrow I'm going to a women's AA meeting with a lot of sound, sober women. I'm really looking forward to it and Dick's daughter is coming over to sit...and hopefully keep her awake. Anyhow, I'm making sure to take time for me out of the house and get centered.

Ok, time to wake sleeping beauty and get the evening going.
