Thinking Out Loud.....

oh my kids do it all the time, i put things to block the steps and they walk over it...

dr. called he said no worries, apparently what the other dr. put wasn't the whole report, he is going to "look" at the ct scan with a radiologist to see what the deal is with the mass in my chest...

ducky that is my theory with making the bed....

luv u guys!!

YA on the no worries.  Keep pestering them for the PET scan!

Hi all,
Diane, was thinking of you today...you haven't mentioned the house in awhile.  We are starting some renovations and I know it probably won't go as I envision.  (everything done by easter LOL)
Sheila, I hope you feel better....maybe we'll see the sun tomorrow.
Chris, I L'dOL over your shopping trip and trying on the trendy stuff and realizing (me anyway) that no matter what I put on, I am just a little too out of shape to ever look good in it.
And shoes...I like winter 'cause I can wear boots with pants or uggs outside...don't have to worry about toes being polished...but soon I will have to stuff into the summer shoes.  I found shoes that I bought several times in 3 colors...they are no longer in the stores but I found them on line...I know that won't last.  I have been binge-shopping lately to have something presentable for work.  I see at least 100 to 200 students each day (not all mine) and it's bad enough the A.I.s are making me look 100 years old...so I try really hard to dress nicely.  One week I'll binge on jewelry.  Last week I ordered 6 pair of shoes from DSW but I am taking back 4 to the local store - so I only have to pay for the ones that fit.  They never have my size in the store so I order.  sorry...rambling. 
As for my house, well, I've been waiting over a year for bathroom renovation.  DH insisted on getting a guy from his friends...so finally, he says the guy is coming over Thursday and I have to go home from work to wait for him.  So Wednesday night I look around at my house and decide nobody can come in....but DH took stuff and put it in the basement...I stayed up late just sprucing up...and then this morning the guy canceled.  No kids here....just all their stuff and it has to go! 
Sandy, I am glad the doc is taking a look at the report and I hope you get the information you are expecting.  More than anything, I hope it is not something stressful for you to have to deal with. Hugs & prayers...
What a week...started out with hyper anxiety spell...followed by days of generalized pain...my face looks older and drawn...and today I felt so down all day about everything.  It's definitely chemical.  Am sad and can't shake it....and y'all know when we get down, then the smallest task looks like a mountain.  I have a lab test in the AM and I look at my car all covered with snow and I can't find the energy to clean it off and go out. 
I went to Whole Foods tonight after work - about 10 miles out of my way and 45 minutes from home...when I realized all the junk that is added to the foods I've been eating for most of my life, I feel like I can't really ever make up for it!
Here I go...complaining about non-issues!
Smile, self....be happy....be grateful....(I am)
Hugs to all here
Joan
Maybe sleep will help....

The job was a bit stressful yesterday, but my client was a no show today so I stayed one hour then went home.  I got paid for 2 1/2 hours, but that doesn't make it better.

Thanks.  I started with over 12 plants but the neighbors cat decided to use my planter as a litter box and uprooted many of them, damaging the roots.  They will spread but I still have issues getting the same sized spears on the same day so I cut some and put them in the fridge and wait for the next cut.

DS and his wife have been messing around with the person who was doing the remod on the house they just bought. (The remod was underway when they signed the papers.)  The cabinet guy had drips all over the batheroom cabinets and so he was to redo them.  The finish then never cured so he came in last week with new cabinets, installed and stained them and claimed his gun for applying the finish was broke and he'd be back monday.  He left the plastic draping up in two of the baths so you can use the toilet but that's it.  As of last night, he has been a no show.

Did I mention I thought the kids were idiots for signing on a house with the "improvements" incomplete?  Oh well, they didn't ask us even though DH has been a project manager in the construction industry and did final walkthroughs as a part of his daily life for the past 12 years.  Instead they took her dad, a welder, and her housewife mother, for the walk through.  Well at least we are trying to let them grow up and make decisions on their own.

Sandy......does it ever end. ........yea, when they close the lid for the final time....hugs

1-3 inches turned to almost a foot.....My area is burried again..........lalalalalalalaaaa

Meece....thanks for the AG picture..I hope you get many many more

Diane....I enjoyed hearing your voice....I love our chats....♥

Linda....Winter wasn't very polite this year....keep shoveling....

Sandy...I'm glad she is found and is in a safe place...hugs

(((TOL)))

Keep Shoveling..........

Glad your granddaughter is safe, Sandy.  Have fun with Andrew!

Was worried you might have lost power, Linda.  Don't work too hard shoveling!

You got more snow than they said too, huh. 

Here's my picnic table snow gauge

First they said 3-6", then they increased it to 4-8"  I think it is about a foot and still snowing.

Reminds me of a joke my mother made when I was a kid, "Well, I just got in from shoveling 3 inches of partly cloudy..."

Did you and Sandy get much snow, Ducky?

Same here Chris.  We have over 20 inches now.   Just sent the kids back outside to shovvel again. Scattered power outages here.  My fingers are crossed!

Ray, when my DFS (17 now) was 2.5, I left my wedding rings on the bahroom vanity.  He took them , wrapped them in toliet paper and threw them away.  He did not tell us.  At that time, we had trash pick up every 2 weeks.  I kept searching for my rings to no avail.  The night before trash pickup, I was talking about the rings at dinner with my DH.  I was so upset.  My DS said...Mom, maybe you should put your things away and not leave them all over the place.  Hmmmmm..... WHAT??  He then told us what he did.  My DH and I mean DH thenn went through our large dumpster, filled with food and diapers and FOUND MY RINGS!!!!  Don't you just llove kids!

23 inches of snow here.  I hurt!

Wow Chris snow sucks, that much anyway, lollllGlad you and Linda didn't lose power....

Linda I did the same thing, I lived in apt with first husband and cleaned my diamond and wrapped it in a paper towel and forgot and threw it in the trash, it went out the dumpster and never got it back...

Joan, they houses at the jersey shore are so expensive this year, they say they have to make up for the damage from hurricane sandy....

Yep we have ducky even the other day they said we were getting 2 -4....

Went and saw granddaughter last night, she looks awesome, knows she has to be there, I adore her......took a pix of Andrew at Friendlys, he wouldn't look at the camera....brat...adore him also...

Whatcha doing this weekend, anything interesting....me have plans but it involves others and don't know if they want to do it....actually a conference today re brain injury that I want Michael to go to, he is signed up for it so am I but not sure he wants to go and tomorrow Red Lobster with oldest daughter...who knows....

BBL

This whole house needs to be redone (or done in the case of the rooms that we never did anything with in the almost 20 yrs we've lived here - why own a house if you're not going to maintain it?)  And now we have no money to do anything about it with - all money needs to go toward college.  And now that I'm working - part time- making crap money - we'll never have any money to work with. 

Linda - omg - I don't know what I would have done.  2 1/2...but then again, if he was smart enough to do something like that, I suppose he could get the appropriate punishment- like a timeout for a year...  I don't suppose he picks up after himself now the way he expected you to pick up after yourself then?  I would remind him constantly. 

Hope you get to do what you want to do today, Sandy.

Funny story about Red Lobster - when my daughter was about 12, she announced this is where she wanted to have her birthday dinner, along with family and a few friends.  We sat down, received our menus, and the following statement:  we no longer serve lobster at this location.
