I have officially one week to do things in my 50's~my how time flies. Getting old just sucks!! So does retirement when you don't have anyone to enjoy the freedom with you!

I have begun reading a new book on my Kindle about the FLDS called Escape. It is about the life of a girl who was married to the Jessup family and her escape from the lifestyle. I read another similar book last summer and enjoyed it so thought this would be a change from all the vampire novels of recent months. LOL

We were rained out of our doggie playdate last week so we hope to try again tomorrow. I just hope Brody and Zoe get along and have fun in the fenced in yard.
Pat has to work today. Has some billings to do. All the same job but each company wants the same info on "their" invoice paper in a certain way so it takes forever to complete. He had hoped to install the new air conditioner in the workshop but that will have to wait until he gets home.

I have heard that they have interviewed for the opportunity school director position and I was not called so I take it I am not of interest to them for the position. Oh, well. Would have been an exciting challange but not ment to be.

It is almost 5AM and the dogs will be wanting their breakfast soon. I have a massage at 11 and that is it for the day. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

It's still raining this morning but I guess it is supposed to stop this afternoon. Last night I went to the monthly Washington staff dinner. We met at the Warehouse and had a great time. We celebrated Suzanne's 50th birthday...it isn't until Aug. 5 but we did it early. While we were there, we called Linda in Miss. and wished her happy birthday which is Friday. Good times with good friends.

Taking Brody to see my brother's dog Zoe today. She is a doberman and is bigger than he is so we aren't sure they will play but we shall see. He needs a playmate! Ali just isn't going to run and chase at her age.

Not much going on here lately. Pat and I went to Newark yesterday to Best Buy. Looked at mini computers and a wireless radio but didn't purchase anything. I went into Michael's to look around and believe it or not I didn't buy anything there either. SHOCK! We had lunch at Olive Garden and then home.

Have to go into see Bill today to help him with his computer. He gets confused and forgets passwords but hey, at 75 he is doing great...I know some 20 year olds who can't remember passwords! LOL

I can't sleep if you wonder why I am writing this at 2:16 AM. I am on the couch and have Ali beside me asleep and Brody laying on my shoulder asleep. Guess they love me....

"You must have control of the authorship of your own destiny.The pen that writes your life story must be held in your own hand."

Kinda thought provoking huh?

Pretty slow week this week. I am still reading Columbine. Very interesting all the things the news reported that were incorrect. Such a sad story that could maybe have been stopped if things had been different.

I ordered our tickets to go to Florida for Thanksgiving tonight. We will be there 5 days. Just long enough to drive Jeremy and Mandi crazy...lol.

It's Sunday night! TRUE BLOOD~new episode at 9.

July 11, 2009

Had a lovely dinner with Mandi and her parents at The Pro's Table tonight. There was only one thing missing....JEREMY!! I hate that he is stuck in Florida and couldn't be with us. It's been over a year since we have seen him. It just sucks!

Looked like it would rain or maybe storm all day. Did have a little shower this AM but it didn't last. Guess some parts of the state got much rain.

Yesterday, Pat and I went to Easton to the Apple store so he could look at a laptop.Was glad that we went since he had some important questions answered. Stopped at a couple other stores and then home. Not our kind of shopping mall....expensive! Oh my!!

Hope to hear something next week about the opp. school job.....have heard nothing so far.

July 8, 2009

I have finished another book on my Kindle. Been reading a lot lately! Much like my mother I read the book but don't remember the titles once I read them...LOL



Got wonderful news the other day from Jeremy. He thought he would have to wait 6 months before his class A would take affect but he has been grandfathered in and when he passes his test in Aug. he will be class A on the spot. Woo Hoo!!


Mandi is in Ohio for two weeks. Pat and I are having dinner with her and her parents on Saturday at the Pro's Table. Should be fun. We have met her mom but not her dad. This time we will call Jeremy so he will feel he is part of the evening.


Gave Bill another computer lesson this afternoon. He is doing very well. I think he is no longer afraid of it so he is playing more. He can no play solitare, find his email and read it, send email and check his stocks. Not bad for only two weeks.

"Never trade what you want the most for what you want at the moment"
Now shouldn't we girls all use this as a mantra when we go shopping!! LOL


Pat and I went to Zanesville today to see the movie Public Enemies with Johnny Depp. I say he should stay in his Jack Sparrow character!! Neither Pat or I enjoyed this movie. VERY slow and little plot. I would not recommend this to anyone. And I am a fan of gangster movies.


Here it is Sunday night and no new True Blood!!!! As Beth would say~ "SHUT UP!" LoL I guess I could watch the first three weeks of season two again as they will be on.....So I guess I have to wait til next week for a new episode. Until then.......

July 3, 2009

OK~I AM SOOOOOO DEPRESSED! LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY!!!!! It so sucks getting old. Pat and Jeremy got a good laugh out of it. Just wait...paybacks are hell boys.

Pat and I did errands today. He ordered his new glasses and sunglasses. I went to pick up my sunglasses and they were closed so will try again on Monday. When we got home, Pat mowed so that is done for a few days. Has looked like rain most of the day but none so far. Tomorrow they said we may have some showers.

Gonna watch Red White and Boom on the TV tonight.
Happy 4th everyone!
