Okay, just found out that they are gonna fix my car instead of total it out ... I was kinda hoping they would just total it! HAHAHA and first we have to get it to a body shop to fix the frame so they can install a new radiator I guess, i'm trying to read all the stuff, it's such boy stuff! We have a $500 deductible, so the first $$ is on us! HAHAHA I'm okay with that, better than a kick in the pants! Wonder how long all this will take, for now we get to drive the pretty new Nissan Sentra from Enterprise! We have coverage for that for 30 days, so that's cool. Better be done by then!
So Mrs. Dr. Phil wants to be called Blossom, huh? It will likely come out BLAH BLAH I hope she knows that! HAHAHAHAHA or SOMMY or something completely not what she has in mind! That's just doofy anyway, what is she a flower? I agree about someone not wanting to be called Granny, that just sounds like you are stooped over and have no teeth!
Dawn, OMW that baby of yours is too cute! I still wanna bite her! You know, I know it's a pain when they are this age, but it's so important for girls especially to be able to stand up, have a backbone, and know what they want. I would rather have a kid I considered a tad difficult (which is what I've always said about both of mine) than a wimp. I really dislike wimpy people in general.
Oh Natasha, I cracked up when I read about Sean sending you the pic of his speedometer! HAHAHA that would have made me more insane than the ticket ... how dare you take a picture with your cell phone while you are driving!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAAHA And, your menu sounds lovely, what time should I be there????? HAHAHA I don't do well at other's homes for holiday meals, except my mom of course, but they never do it quite right ... ya know? My sister in law almost gave me a heart attack when we had Thanksgiving at her house and she made this mashed potato casserole thing with garlic and cream cheese, it was really good ... but there was NO GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!! She said she didn't know how to make it and didn't like canned so she just didn't have it ... Jack was like ... um, gravy? gravy? GRAVY?????? It was sad. I could have make the gravy if she had just told me! Like you, Natasha, if I do say so myself, I whip up a mean gravy. That's why even when it was just the 2 of us I cooked a huge turkey so that I could get all that stock and what not for the gravy! Then I would hoard the gravy for days! HAHAHAHAH
Muril, you are so good to Miss Nancy and making the hat for the gal who works there, you are wonderful! I am sure it is frustrating to Miss Nancy to struggle with memory issues, etc. She's a very lucky lady since she has so much love around her, people to spend time with her, etc. that was so sweet what you wrote the other day about how she said, "you know how to make me feel good, or take care of me, something like that. Those are the things that make it all worth while, don't they? That's how I feel about the kids, too. Just when I think I'm at the end of my rope they'll say something sweet and they're so honest. I think we lose that childlike honesty as we age, but then it comes back again when we get old. Does that makes sense? It's like we learn to censor ourselves as "grown ups" but I think we you get older, at least for me, I know, I will figure, what the heck, I can say whatever I want! HA
My mom told me that all these experiences I have make me stronger and I thought, shoot, I wouldn't need to be stronger if I would stop having all these problems! GRRRR
Okay, time to finish up the kitchen cleaning and wake up the hubby. He missed 2 nights of work due to the car drama, so we are thrilled to see the rental in the driveway!
XXOO
Practice gratefulness instead of doubt.
