    Thursday Chat Time

    It is Italian tradition to name the first daughter after the father's mother - my grandma's name is Rose.  Since my brothers and sisters are adopted and came with names, I would have been the first even though I was the last Stick out tongue

    Anyway....my dad didn't have any sisters so the name sake would have defaulted to my great grandmother - Giaconda Maria.  Thank you mom for demanding on Lisa.

    Morning all.

    I left the tapestry on my recliner when I went to pick up DH.  When I came home I had to do a double take since it looked like someone was sitting in my chair!  This sucker is 50x60" so pretty close to full size.  For a second I thot someone WAS sitting in the chair, and then realized who was there.......

    So...sunshine today, mid 70's....I think I can handle that!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Thanks, Deb! I am 45 today - for real. I almost don't feel it except for the achy joints and that I am suddenly seriously blind. Thank you presbyopia.

    I indulged in some delicious Godiva chocolate this morning. DS gave me a gift certificate for a one hour massage. I'm getting it done next week. Can anyone tell me how much I should tip the masseuse? It's my first and I am clueless.

    I usually do 20%.

     Happy Birthday Tina!

     

    I need to run to the bank to put my check in there. I need to get my oil changed too. Why do those places always rip you off so much?

    That was my guess, so good to know I wasn't too far off.

     Happy Birthday Tina!

    I really don't want to work today.  I just want to go play outside with Ari.  Sadly, that's not possible.  I'll take a walk after work, but after that need to do some speed cleaning.  Mom is coming up Saturday, but I'm going out Friday night.  Man I hate how I procrastinate!

    Happy Birthday, Tina!!  I hope you have a great day other than having to work. I sent you a giant magnifying glass so you could read your birthday cards.  lol  Enjoy your massage. 

    It's a pretty day here and I wish I was outside instead of inside trying to force myself to get motivated.

    Rex has been limping the last few days.  I've looked and looked but wasn't seeing the problem.  I knew it was one of his rear paws because he keeps licking that foot.  Last night I saw where he had torn the very edge of one toe pad.  Ouch!  It was hard to see the tear because of it's location.  He's quite dramatic about the pain and I'm sure it hurts like the devil.  I cleaned it and wrapped it last night and he hadn't removed the wrap this morning.  Maybe he'll keep it on today.

    Just sitting here.... have to rest all day, got a neck shot yesterday, Yeah.  Will get a back shot in two weeks, I'll be a walking steroid. lol  I did take Miss Ava for her morning walk though.  Now off to read the papers and watch tv and take a nap this afternoon.  Hope the day goes fast, I'm not used to just sitting.  Had my personal Dr. appt. yesterday too, he said, I was in the age range of a 60-65 year old woman, how flattering.  I am 80.  lol

    lol Lisa!

    Happy Birthday, Tina! Enjoy the massage. That was nice of your son to remember, eh?

    Poor Rexy. Torn paws suck.

    You go, Vivian! Big Smile

    Nothing too exciting here. Busy at work. Aunt Flo is kicking my @$$ this week. I'm so tired, feeling blah, want to eat every superunhealthy thing in sight, ugh.

    Party!!! Happy Birthday Tina!   Wow what an awesome present.  I would take one of those anyday.  I found a wonderful lady here near where I work and although I  cant go as often as I like, I do go when the fibro kicks my butt and she can get me back  on track.

    Auburn I would love it if my Doc told me I was 20 years younger, :)

    Made my first trip to Aldi's yesterday.  Finally put one in close to the office.  I dont like to travel 20 miles from home to save a few cents but after picking up the things I did yesterday, it will go on my shopping list.  I split my list out anyway to include 3 places within 4 miles of work so what's another place?   I grilled Shrimp and veggies last night all of which were  bargains and it was yuuummmmyyyy!

    Me too!  That was my  first time to grill shrimp at home so I was thrilled that it turned out so well.  My hubby said I should have fixed more and he is not the shrimp nut in our house.

    Happy Birthday, Tina!!  Heck, I've been counting backwards since 40 and I hit 23 this year.  In a few more years I'll need to be carded to drink for real!!
