thinking out loud, making a plan. hugs!
gotta pick up meds, stuff from the grocer. i goooootta. crap. tiddly winks. rats. sheez.
i'm having an allergy attack. sneezy, nose blowing, red watery eyes..........caramba! i sneezed so hard that i felt the wrath of back claws when Rio blew offa my lap and outta the room.
annie is curled up on a red blankie on the leather recliner......she is the picture of domestic contentment & harmony. love you sleepy green eyed girl!
i thought it would cheer me up to go "borrow" some blooms off a plant on the fence line......officially it belongs to the empty house.......and sigh, there is no one to ask.........so i took it upon myself to get permission. (....from me) this plant has delicate blossoms......so pretty. thought what can it hurt? put them in this cool oblong hombre' vase..........it's very artsy fartsy........but i like it........the blossoms make it so beautiful.
guess i'm gonna have to get some silk sumpin sumpin instead or do without.
trying to decide what to make for Easter......to take to Aunt Martha's.
Top Contenders:
Deviled Eggs
Sunflower Cake (made with yellow peeps, chocolate chips all resting on a chocolate layer cake)
Strawberries & Cream (you make cheesecake pudding filling and then pipe the filling into fresh crisscross cut open strawberries.......so it's a small treat, but very pretty and berry lush.
Home made baked beans (the kids jokingly refer to my Mom's recipe as "Artery Hardeners", but they fight over the leftovers.......all but count the individual beans to make sure no one gets more than the other one. yes, bacon, lots of BACON and sweet delicious brown sugar.....and some other goodies......they are yummo.
They say not to worry about bringing anything.........and when I can't I run with that. But I think I can, so I'm gonna. If I go today I should be able to still go to 11 am service and make Martha's by one (on sunday). I want to see Sara.......she won't get done at church until about 3..........and she doesn't want to promise to get together she says cause she says she'll be dead on her feet.......
Sara's birthday is Saturday, so I need to find the perfect card........i miss having the nrg to go to both the store and to hallmark.........but it's alright. you'll find something just right........yes you will!
now we......Sara & I do plan to get together on either Monday or Tuesday..........her birthday is SATURDAY.........but we're gonna do something she has wanted to do for a long time........she jokes that she has to do it now........cause now her age is becoming a factor. She wants a nose ring.....a little tinky tiny stud in her nose.......so I said done and done.
We're going to go to a tattoo shop together.........I've never been to a tattoo shop.......do I sound as old as I think????? But I've never been........when the view on tatts changed......lightened up.........I was getting poked and prodded by too many needles in doctors offices, I've never really wanted a tattoo.........ok, thought about it a teeny bit when a couple of friends got little ones......the proverbial butterfly or rose on an ankle, but not me........never did.
i still remember the fuss my Dad made when i got my ears pierced my 17th year. wow.........zowie........pow. Dad was not pleased.........not mad mad, but not in any way happy. He didn't yell or anything, but boy did I get the look........for days. Eventually he chose to tease me about it.........you've got enough holes in your head.........ya got your ear holes, your mouth hole, your nose holes, your eye holes.......ya got pores, did ya forget about them......add it all up, do the math......you got plenty of holes ALREADY? why on earth did ya think ya needed any more stinking holes?????
it may not be exactly verbatim, but it's pretty doggone close. he didn't think ladies needed to mask their natural beauty with too many gee gaws. yes, you heard me, i said it.......gee gaws. now you know how old fashioned a daddy can be..........about his girls. since i was the oldest girl, i had to fight the battles for them.............right????
anyway..........we're going to a place with the word magic and dragon and probably something like pagoda all in the same header............i'm sure it will be fun. She consulted with other friends to find a best place to go......so that's the plan. Lunch and a body piercing.......something I could have never done with my parents.............LOL ..........can't even imagine it.
alrighty then........got to make my list, hit the showers and see if i can make it out the door........if not today, then tomorrow definitely.
i had a big bad weepy cry this morning. i felt so low there for a minute it was hard to breathe......and then i felt better..................sometimes i resent being sick so much, feel so sorry for myself that it is astonishing........and then i just move on........change up, shed the stress, anxiety and worry of carrying that burden front and center all the time. nobody can without tearing up vital organs......its too much. the cry really helped......not during so much, but immediately after i felt better.........glad that's off the list.
i ordered a new Easter outfit.......not sure if it will make it in time or not. Crossing fingers! Last Saturday I online shopped. Made me feel so decadent. I have a blouse I've been saving for something special. It's a chiffon fabric with a cream underlining.....the overlay is cream with coral/purple, red, a jewel toned teal blue/ a little black (soft dramatic swirls of color......yup artsy fartsy) ......a modern take on the peasant blouse. I ordered straight leg cream slacks and a lacy cream sweater. Soft fabric, so I'll have the comfort I need......with added stretch & flex thanks to a % of lycra. Lycra sure is nice mixed with other things to ease Fibromyalgia pain.
I sound so dumb.......but I haven't bought new shoes in a long time. I usually buy shoes/clothes via consignment/thrift/off the rack discount shops. I found a pair of pretty black suede flats with cream colored accents.......and a pair of red.......bright red suede flats with laser cut outs. ......so cool. They were the last pair of each in my size and super super discounted down..........so I hope they fit my skinny feet. (like 70 & 80% off respectively).
My kids and I have the skinniest feet.........sheez. But we do.......my Mom used to wear a triple A narrow.......mine aren't that bad, but they is skinny. Adding more heel liners, they really help keep shoes on!!!!! may need to go to the dollar store for these........sorry thinking out loud.
i'm gonna turn this bluesy thing around one way or another...........now to stop sneezing!
