Chatting on fri

Posted : 1/27/2012 8:29:51 AM

Tgif They say we are supposed to get sun today but I'm not buying it. I think thr winter gloominess has finally set in I have to buckle down and write a report today. I have had writers block all week Went to the bar for happy hour last night. The one drink i had hit me hard, whew. I guess that happens when you don't drink often. I even had a little headache this morning even though I downed about 5 glasses of water before bed. I agreed to go shopping with my sis tomorrow to help her find a suit. Why oh why did I agree? Not only do I hate shopping but I hate shopping with other people even more! I like to do my business and get out, not dilly dally, hem and haw and chit chat. And we are supposed to start at 10 am so I cant even sleep in first! Oye.

Gloomy, rainy day here. Going for a much needed haircut this afternoon. That's about it in my super exciting life.

I have a teeny headache, probably due to lack of quality sleep lately, since I haven't had any happy hour excursions in a while.

Last night I managed to shut Missy under the recliner when I put the leg rest part down. Fortunately she emerged unscathed. I probably wouldn't have noticed she was there except Buddy started running around the chair and pawing at it.

From yesterday...

I think it was Nicole who's heading to LA and Vegas, right? I'm quite jealous. Have a great time! I was just saying to DH a couple days ago that we need a weekend trip somewhere like that just to have a couple days of sunshine. January is always a tough month here, but the past couple weeks with the rain, wind, and flooding have me feeling extra sluggish!

Yep! It's me! Can't wait. It's something like 70 or 75 in LA Cool We're meeting some college buddies of mine in Vegas, and some friends of DH's live in LA which is nice to have some company. I don't quite have the energy I'm used to, so it will probably be a pretty low-key vacation but still quite nice.

Oooh, that looks like my kind of beverage! Big Smile

On another note, Deb. I didn't know "Epstein" was a neighbor of yours. May he rest in peace.

I didn't know either until today. Mike said he had big poster at the train station offering acting lessons. Huh?

I wonder if John Travolta will fly in for the funeral.

Headed into Philly, despite numerous things suggesting against it, and ended up not staying and coming home. I felt crappy getting up this morning, slept later than I wanted to. Traffic was bad, and by some reason I couldn't determine, I started driving by some odd way I have never taken before. I got there, finally figured out where I was going, saw that line, and decided there was no way. Some friends are there, and some people I wanted to meet, but I decided to come home to lounge, since I still felt crappy. Maybe I'll go on Sunday.

Morning all. Late night, but I slept like a rock and woke up looking like one. I met the woman who made my sons life so happy, I met some of the band mates and all of this just confirmed that Mike was a star who everyone revolved around. The outpouring of love here, everyplace we have ever lived, and here on the forum is just incredible. We planned the service last night and it's going to be beautiful, but not sappy. I understand that I have a tasty care package at home, and thank you to the sender. I managed non clear liquids (yogart and soup) yesterday, and even half a brownie, so hopefully by the time I get home I'll be able to enjoy the goodies. Love to all of you and thank you for the incredible love and support.

More **hugs** to Glenda.

Tina -- you're more brave than I am -- a drink that wakes me up to relax me? mmmm -- sounds too confusing for MY bod LOL

Jewliee -- moi o'ci - Shopping is torture, and going with someone who wants to ooh and ahh over *everything* ... mmm not for me. I park close, go in the closest door to where the 'thing' is I want, snag it and get the heck outa Dodge! That is ONLY if I can't buy it online!! David and I actually shop well together -- he'll go get "this" while I get "that" and dividing up the list we meet at the till a.s.a.p.

I know -- I'm not "normal". I hate to shop, I don't eat french fries ... it's that "different drummer" I guess I march to. LOL (and even then, if we're marching I want to know why and where we're going!! and is it someplace *I* want to go ??)

it's dreary, rainy and windy here. But hey -- it's January, I'm not complaining! It's not white and fluffy!

(((Glenda))) still thinking about you and your family non-stop and praying for comfort in the days ahead.

It's gorgeous this morning. No fog, just bright sunshine. Hopefully it'll last thru the weekend. I'd like to go work out at Grace on Sunday.

I went to bed early and slept decently but I still feel a little lethargic this morning. I'll bet that drink Deb posted would pep me up though Big Smile

Busy busy this morning at the office. Need to keep moving so I don't fall asleep. lol One of those drinks would probably help.

Glenda, glad you've got the planning done. That's hard. Sounds like it will be something Mike would approve of. Continued vibes for strength for you.

The weather is beautiful and weekend forecast is the same. Big Smile I think I'm having lunch with one of my nieces tomorrow but we haven't firmed up anything.

My eye doc appointment ran very late. I didn't get home until 6:45pm. :( All is ok with the eye so it was worth the wait. There was the most talkative woman I've ever heard in the waiting room. Every detail of her life was relayed in graphic detail to the poor victim she sat next to. The rest of us couldn't help but overhear her not so fascinating stories. I was trying to read but that was impossible with motormouth talking so loud. A few times I almost said something when she started talking about her dogs but I managed to restrain myself as it would have been an exercise in futility.
