Graduation Days

I can tell it is graduation time and that everyone I know is getting older, and so are their kids. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry that I have ever known is now sending me graduation announcements for their kids.....Oh joy, oh my bank account!

Why I Have Cats by Me

I have cats so when I wake up in the morning I can find 6 inches of cat barf in my closet. (I measured). The end..

Update

My eyes have new glasses, which I hate. New glasses drive me batty. I can never get them to feel right and it makes life interesting to say the least. The bifocal bump up is nice. I like the extra bang I get with these.

Spent the weekend (a long one) in MN with BFF and Hannah. Spent some money, got some cont ed, cheese, and shoes which are all priorities on a trip up North. I think I've met my cont ed requirement but am going to take the child abuse and adult abuse course to finish it up....

The cats got presents from MN which was nice for them. They like their tent and I found my beautiful black boy cat sleeping quite soundly in a pink cat bed with bows....I do worry about him sometimes....HAHA. It was quite adorable and we just stared at him for a couple of minutes.

The job front--interesting. My manager is on sick leave from B&B so I'm not enjoying it quite as much these days...

I am going out to trim the yard and try to get motivated for the day--

Hee Hee

I was a bad girl and put a picture of my hubby and his siblings in the paper for their dad's birthday today.....I didn't put their dad's name, or the kid's names but there is a picture...My hubby is 4 yo so that gives you an idea about all their ages...It is pretty cute...My hubby was ready to blow a gasket, but I think his dad will get a kick out of it...You only turn 80 once and I think you need to be spoiled a little bit....Plus, us in-laws should get a good chuckle from it...

Eyes Again

Well, after a week trying the new glasses, that made me hip and fashionable (according to the husband), they went back to the store....Whether it was my eyes, the Rx, the frame, the lenses, no one knows for sure...They are going to step back my astigmatism a bit, keep my bifocal a bit higher and try again with new frames. No the frames aren't hip and happening. No rhinestones, no stripes, etc just plain old frames that look a lot like all the ones over the years....BUT they think with the adjusted Rx, similar lens thickness and curvature, the bigger/better bifocal, no special hinges that make my head feel like a huge zit, I might just be able to see again and read again. This was a great thing with the first pair of bifocals and I just want that back. Women, the things they go through for a new pair of glasses...

Cameras AAAAAHHHHH


My old camera was so easy. Just plug it into the computer and you would get your pictures. This new one is very frustrating and I can never remember how to do it and the hubby gets all frustrated with me and the computer.....As a result, I think I have 4 albums with the same 100+ cat pics, etc.....

I just want the plug and go one back again.....I would trade back, but the new one takes soooo much better pictures that I don't want to...

Eyes

My new glasses aren't working as of yet...They have me going back tomorrow for a follow up visit to see the doctor...Considering I could see fine with the last prescription and I was just being female and wanted some new frames, I am quite disappointed. One of my friends works there and she will be there to see if they can work out something...Apparently these lenses are a bit different and may be affecting things....My bifocals are probably too low which isn't helping either because the glasses are just making me work harder and I can't see too well to read so they defeat the purpose....I am being good and not putting my last ones on, kind of like dentures and partials. You want to wear them so they know what has been going on....but oh, I'm tired and frustrated with the effort...

Cracks Me Up


I'm sorry. This would've been a good pick of Wendell, but he got distracted as you can tell. His ear cocked to listen to something and I ended up with this dorky shot instead...He is soooo hard to get a decent picture of...

Just Because...


Katie being cute. You can really see her personality in this one.

Daffodil Days

Went to the oncologist the other day and the patients got their own daffodils to take home with them, thanks to some anonymous donor.....Very nice pick me upper...Here they are at their best...We also got the vase so that was nice, too.... Love daffodils in the spring. They are so pretty.

Shopping for the In-Laws

Well, it is that time again....I am supposed to go out and buy birthday presents for my brother-in-law and father-in-law. Their birthdays are days apart and that is my project....The longer we are married the more I get this sort of thing delegated to me. I got the brother taken care of and got him a gift certificate for golf. He really has no interests so it is difficult. His bday is on the 6th so I am good for a few days......The father is more difficult. He is retired and loves to read, but our book store is closed so that is no longer an option. They don't really go on shopping sprees, and GOD FORBID he go into an actual store..............sooooo...............I have a couple of extra days for him. His birthday isn't until the 8th. Heavy sigh...I guess I will think of something...It's just getting difficult.......................
