Funky Town

I have been wondering about the silence also. I figured it was because of me. I let Lizzie and Sarah down by missing the wedding. I have been in a funk for the last few days and need to wash it away. I am sorry I missed it. When I think of all the nagging little roadblocks that popped up all day Saturday and Sunday, I now feel I should have barrelled through them and come to the wedding, even if I were whiplashed and bruised up a little. So sorry.

The wedding photos were beautiful. I cried. Sarah is so beautiful and Paul is so handsome and they are truly in love. I wish them the best life ever.

I am looking so forward to your visit, Lori. It looks like I may have Pandora and Winter, so we may spend the night at their house. If you prefer to sleep here in the comfy bed, that is cool too. I might work things out where we can all stay here, but it would be chaotic and crowded. Dozer and Peanut will probably be here. Dozer is the PITA in that whole scenario. It sounds like you have quite a busy schedule lined up. Sounds fun though.

I have been busy with my boss's (sp?) financial situation. It is like I am working a real job. I think I worked overtime week. He is getting ready to file personal bankruptcy. We are shutting down one checking account and opening another, stopping automatic payments (that is like pulling big ol rotten teeth with strong roots. All kinds of crap.

We are going to have a salsa making marathon this weekend. Hopefully, I will be done with all this work stuff, getting all up my personal time.

Other than that, right here, right now, things are kind of quiet.

  1. Hey all - I just am trying to rest up, catch up and get back to the swing of things.
    The wedding was absolutely wonderful - no glitches or anything and they do seem so very happy. Let's hope we'll say that in 10, 20+ years for them. Of course I'll be 81 then and won't remember shit.
    Diane, I have to admit my feelings were hurt a bit and I'm sorry I cried on the phone with you - didn't make you feel better, I'm sure. I know I don't understand completely what goes on in your world and I know you say you can only live for the moment but when you wrote for more directions I thought "yeah, she IS going to come" and then when you called I was just so disappointed (of course, I was a bit emotional at that moment anyway). I don't say any of this to make you feel bad/worse just clearing the air. Our family does so little together these days and when events like this take place, I am reminded of that fact. I don't dwell on it, stew about it or anything like that but just wish that maybe in the past we would have all made more of an effort to do 'family' things. Anyway, I really didn't want you to come if you were all bruised and whiplashed! Thank you too, for your words.
    Lori, I'm looking forward to whatever time we figure out - and I think the Homecoming would be fun - maybe I'll recognize someone from that time of my life! Hope so.
    I'm writing this at work and someone is now standing at my desk and keeps talking to me - I'll add more later.
    Love to all.

  2. Bill O'Reilly is on so thought I would chat a bit with my sisters.

    I had a ME day today. A pedicure at 9:00, eyebrow wax at 10:30 and a haircut at 11:30. Phew, it has been all about me today. I would like to have fit in some liposuction in the afternoon so my tummy wasn't pooching out in my dress I am going to wear to the reunion. I keep hearing about something called Spanx or something like that that is supposed to suck in the unattractive parts of the midsection, but where does the excess go??? I don't particularly want it to be pushed up because then not only would I have to buy the Spanx, but then I would have to buy a bigger bra. What a dilemma. LOL Also, what happens when one has to pee. I wonder if there is a snap crotch. I really am going to research that tonight. Actually, I am not too concerned about it. I believe in 50 years there will be others who have added a few extra pounds. Besides I said before I wasn't going to get all crazy about weight and here I am talking about it.

    Earl and I went to a going away party late afternoon for someone leaving the area that has worked at the bowling center for 10 years. There was food so I didn't have to cook supper. I would like to maybe crash other farewell parties on base that have food and then I wouldn't have to cook. I hate, hate, hate to cook. I really do.

    I am going to go shower and read my book till sleep takes over. I am looking forward to seeing you girls. Love you.
