I agree Glenda, on both counts!

Doctor's appointment this morning that I'm not looking forward to.  I'm hoping 4pm comes quickly today!

This week has DRAGGED.  Glad that we are on the downside of a very long week!

I couldn't agree more.  I am finally done with jury duty - I thought I would hate it...it was actually pretty interesting.  We found the guy guilty for home invasion.  It was pretty cool since they had DNA evidence and everything.  I was the foreperson and I felt awful having to read the verdict, but then we found out from the judge (after the fact) the guy is a lifer and this is his 4th felony, etc.

I heard from my mom yesterday that my granny's sister passed away at 103 (my granny was 99 when she died)!  She just passed away in her sleep - kind of like my granny.  There really wasn't anything specific wrong, just tired.  She was my favorite of my granny's sisters - she looked, sounded and acted just like my granny - kind of spooky but cool.  She still have 3 more sisters all in their upper 90's - not a thing wrong with any of them.

It is definitely cooling down a bit (mid 80's yesterday and mid 70's today) - which is OK since I didn't want to have to turn on my AC in MARCH.  Everyone is so paranoid that it is going to snow, but I think we are done.  Although I am not packing away the snow boots, coats, hats, etc. since I don't want to be the one to jinx it.

TGIF!!!!!

I'm so glad it's Friday. :)

Lisa, sorry to hear of your granny's sister passing but it sounds like she had a long life and a hopefully peaceful death.  I served on a federal jury once and it was pretty fascinating.  It was a drug smuggling, Mexican Mafia guy on trial.  We found him guilty.  All of us jurors thought it was crazy that the prosecutors brought in bales and bales of marijuana and plopped them down next to the jury box.  When we started deliberations we asked if we could take some into the jury room but the judge said no.  

It's a beautiful morning here and a beautiful weekend coming up. 

My condolences as well, Lisa.

Old stick of a judge!  Geeze.

I told my mom the psychic said my grandmother (her mother) came to visit.  She asked "Is she happy?"  You know, she sounded exactly like she did here, like nothing changed.  In her later years of life I had to be careful about hugging her and hurting her.  I keep thinking that when I see her, I hope she's in a state where I can give her a big hug!  She and her sisters are the only people pictures I have at my desk - one has passed and the other is ready to pass soon if she hasn't already.

I'm going to a Pat Hastings seminar tomorrow: http://www.dogfolk.com/structureinactionworkshop.htm  So excited!!

(((Lisa)))  Sorry to hear the news!

It's been beyond hot here the past couple days.  Breaking (shattering) old records!  Yesterday was the hottest day ever recorded for the month of March OR April for my area!!!  30 degrees C!  (that's about 86 for you farenheit losers )  Makese doing today for good yard working days.

How's Callie doing today?  Hope she's getting better!

Paige, have fun tomorrow at the seminar.

Anywho.........

I'll take two Deb!

 I'll take one Deb!

Wow I cannot shake the grogginess this morning - combo of being tired and all the allergy congestion

Diana Krall was good - the bass player was awesome. We saw her years ago in Manchester UK and it was much the same.............too much of the same. But it was a lovely evening out................OK it was lovely AFTER DH made me want to kill him hahahaha

He grabs the keys to his car and we hit the road. We are a mile away from home and he says I don't think I have much gas.  (typical) So we are at a light near where we enter the highway and there is a gas station right there. I say well let's fill up here while its early and we know where we are. The concert was in downtown Durham which is about 30 miles from us and a city that we don't know at all. I say "you know cities there is never many gas stations and always pricey" Does he fill up near home? No. Or on the way? no. We go all the way into downtown Durham and start aimlessly driving around hoping to find a gas station. I get out my phone and try using the GasBuddy ap to locate one but my beloved is just driving instead of pulling over so I could get our bearings and drive to a station. He even says forget about that we'll find one.

Meanwhile we are wasting time - time that was for eating - and its rush hour and Durham has some very dicey areas. Finally I demanded he turn and i got him to listen to me direct him to a station which was 15 cents a gallon more than at home. I was simmering at this point. He didn't use to be so bizarre and disorganized. It really makes me nuts and as hard as I try I can't just roll with it.

Then of course we had like 25 minutes to eat and all the places near the venue were packed. I flat out told him I wasn't going anywhere without eating so we were lucky to get a sandwich and a beer before racing over to the concert. oye!

If anyone made it through all that, thank you for listening. i really needed to unload that hahahaha

OK so much to do  and still so foggy headed

eta: Lisa I offer my condolences on your loss, however what a wonderfully long life and clearly richly lived.Godspeed to her!

Lisa, ((hugs))  How fortunate to have these long lived family members in our lives.  Both my Granny and Grandpa lived into their 90's in very good health.  Like you said about your Grandma's sister she was tired, that is exactly what my Grandpa said a few days before he passed. 

Karen....men!  I have one just like that and it just drives me crazy sometimes.

It was in the 40's this morning and still raining, supposed  to warm up today and quit raining and we are supposed to have lots of sunshine this weekend.  I cant wait to play in the dirt :)

Deb I will take one of those refreshing drinks please.

Johnny it's good to see you...been a long time since you have given us tough old broads a hard time :)

Callie hope you are better today
