RE: Wonky Wednesday

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

FWM and I had a wonderful lunch and I picked some clothes out for her. I have really good taste if I must say so! I bought some things, she bought some things, and she gave me CHOCOLATE! She's my BFF now!

I'm glad you and FWM had fun. Shopping and lunch with a friend is a great way to spend a day.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

It was awesome!

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Jealous! So what did you two have for lunch?

Tinydancer · Guru

And what did you buy?

We had a blast! biggrin

I had chicken fried steak with mashed tators and grilled veggies. (Okay, a little treat, because I never make chicken fried steak at home.) smile

I got a couple of tops and light sweaters. A pair of casual shoes in navy, since I didn't have any. Some silicon grabbers and I grill tray for my grill. A cuter vent clip to hold air freshener for my Jeep, and some refills. An eyeglass thingamajig, for my sunglasses. Four summer tops, for either Wayne or Conor. I'll see who likes them better. And, a treat launcher, for Conor's dogs.

I think that's all. Am I forgetting anything, NJN? confuse

And, I know what we forgot. cry We never seem to remember to take a picture! Sorry about that. Maybe next time. wink

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I ordered the fat burger and they were out! No lie. So I got something that was similar to a Salisbury steak. It was a ground beef patty with Swiss cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms, and brown gravy. I also got fries and mac and cheese and a side salad.

I bout some scooper measuring cups for the dogs food, a new can opener, an onion chopper (FWM brought me hers too!), a shirt for DH, and an air freshener with five refills for the car from Bath and Body works.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Woo-hoo! It sounds like today was a success!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Sorry about your friend LL.

It really was a fun day! smile

Now, I really should do some cleaning and de-cluttering, before my furniture is delivered.

Poop...I tired. I'm going to have to force myself out of this chair and get my rear in gear. cry

Morning everyone. FWM I am so jealous of your hardwood. I really want to hardwood on my main level. I've been saving for years but every time I get a good amount saved up something more important like dental work or repairs to my rental pop up & deplete the fund. Currently the fund only has $500. I hope you love it.

We haven't gotten around to actually buying it yet, Lexxy. Still want to check a couple more place on price and installation.

The one thing I think we have nailed down is going with a really dark bamboo. It should look good next to our gray tile. smile

I like dark too but the wood on my handrails for the stairs is that light yellowy pine so if & when I ever get it I'll need to stay with medium color. I found this tile that looks like hardwood that I want for my kitchen. I may spoil myself & do that soon. My kitchen is rather small so I ballpark it will be about $2500 total with installation.

I've seen that on HGTV, Lexxy. It looks really sharp! I bet you would love it!

Oh heck, I didn't even think about our banister. Hmmm....I might have to re-stain that puppy! wink

I thought about that but it is the pickets & posts & flat bottom on both sides & I'm afraid I'll mess it all up. If it was just a hand rail I'd replace it.

We actually print on floor and wall tiles. I am contemplating a tile backsplash where we added counters and cabinets when remodeled. Just trying to envision the right effect!
Right now, our shop bathroom floor looks like the surface of a swimming pool!

Sorry Trudy! I missed you.

Sounds like most everyone is having a good day. The sun is shining although we are supposed to get storms this afternoon.

So far, I have picked a script from Dr's, went to breakfast, Walmart and CVS.

Settling in to work on schoolwork. Up for today is the following:
1. Social Policy & Ethics - Week #5 discussions - finish citations
2. Assessment & Documentation - Ethical Dilemma PowerPoint upload to Week #7
3. Psychology of Aging - Week #5 - Watch any movie or TV series that has Aging or Inter-generational Family Systems and prepare a bio-psychosocial assessment of a primary adult character based on facts of the movie. Now I just need to find something to watch and write about.

I so admire you for your hard work at school. I did that, it's hard but exhilarating. You are doing great! I am your cheerleader.

I hate the world today. Everything that could go wrong has. Now, I blew up at DH over something stupid. It was still really stupid what he did, but I should not have blown up so much.

Just go apologize. Tell him you're sorry, you're really stressed out and you didn't mean to blow up. But don't forget to add that he's still stupid but you love him anyway!

Thank you. I am mostly writing it here to keep me accountable and on track/schedule. I have a spreadsheet of all the stuff that is due, mostly by next Friday. Well, actually that Sunday and Monday but we will be away that weekend.

I finished #1 & #2. Working on #3. I decided on the movie Guarding Tess. Shirley Maclaine is rather crotchety and stubborn in that. Plus I just watched a rerun of it the other week while I was doing other homework so it's fresh on my brain. Movie itself was meh.

I have gotten two donation requests today. It must be fund raising season, this makes 4 in the last month. There is a part of me that is annoyed, but not really. I am in a place I can freely give, which makes me happy. Just my vent that's not really a vent

I have decided that trying to work on applique embroidery after a 13 hour day is not the best of plans...

Oh, and I had to check how to spell lieutenant about 3 times because it didn't look right, and I didn't trust my eyes the first two times I looked online.

I want to go home and climb into my new bed (and test out all the settings!)

17 days no cigarettes, 4 days no nicotine. I hurt. My head hurts. It's 645pm and I think I have to turn out all the lights and go to bed. My poor doggy. He's basically a housecat at this point . . .

I hope this does not offend you but I am proud that you are this far along. Believe me when I say that the hardest part is almost over.

Your doggy will survive, your carpet may not.

Woooo hooooo!!!!!! Look at you go! Celebrate each successful day! One day at a time. What an amazing job you have done so far. Keep it up!

LL and Trudy - I am sorry for your losses. I hope each of you can find time to grieve and celebrate the lives of your loved ones.

DH is gone for another 5 day trip.

This...I quit a two pack a day habit back in 1982, before there were any of the cessation aids they have today. It took about 30 days before I started to feel human again. But if your carpet doesn't make it...you can replace it with all the money you are saving!

Seriously though, keep going...I promise you'll feel better in short order...and congrats on quitting.

I got a Sleep Science split king adjustable. Costco had them for a great deal this month. Last night was very nice and comfy. The mattress doesn't hold the heat like my old memory foam mattress.
