INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Ok enough with the downer. It was TOO SHORT of a visit with Mses Sas and Spookie!! I wish we had more time. I feel privileged that they carved out their times to have lunch with me. I love the twinkles in Ms. Sas' eyes. Just as I expected, her personality is somewhat like one of my younger sister- likes to take charge, sociable, and straight forward. BBL to finish post...got to go shower...... Ok, I am back. Ms. Spookie has this cute crossed-eyed expression she made whenever she said something silly. Even though we are from different generations and backgrounds, I had this instant connection with both as soon as they gave me a hug. Not sure if it was their warm welcomes or because we all were all sweating bullets (it was warm). You all should see how Ms. Sas ate her fried garlic crabs. At first she tried to be lady-like and use the fork...the fork!!! How do you eat crab with a fork? Ha! She gave in and used her hands after a few seconds. I ordered a seared tuna sandwich. The sandwich was three times the height of my bite!! How do they expect people to eat a sandwich that tall? It was not a pretty sight. Ms. Spookie was the only one who was able to eat her meal (shrimp in buffalo sauce) in a civilized manner. Amazingly, I managed to finish my sandwich right around the same time Ms. Spookie finished her lunch. Ms. Sas , with crumbs of crab shells and meat all over her face and shirt, was still working on her second crab (at least eight were on her plate). I felt bad for her so I helped her eat some of her lunch haha. We still had two left to take home. We had a good time. I just wish that it was a bit longer.

Scary, Ms. Sas.

Boyd, worrying gets the best of you? Two more days until biopsy? Hang in there. Hugs.

Frey, why a grumpy face? Need to color more.

Love all the silly fruit pics.

Marlana, my friend, no keeping meds in the car...too hot in the summer. Meds lose their stability if stored in hot places.

Goats, I feel for you...100+ degree with humidity, how could anybody function?

Hello to all

There will be a cooking lesson as part of the entertainment so I thought it would be cute to add the wooden spoons, but they looked to bland, so I marked them up a bit with a woodburning kit. Now they are polka dotted, lol. Well at least they are finished.

Boyd- wishing you the best with your biopsy this week. I agree, you need to just know what is going on so you can either move on with life, or get your treatment done and then move on with life.

Hopefully you won't feel too bad from the biopsy. When I had the surgical one years ago, I was down for a few days due to the anesthesia, etc. but the needle biopsy has more of a local numbing. I just had to be careful of the biopsy area itself, felt fine otherwise.

Wishing you and easily procedure and good outcomes.

Love the center pieces Deb. A cooking class sounds fun.

Bah, ok, I will go buy Lipstick!

Double dare you. Haha

Good morning lovely ladies.

Debiann, nice center piece. Sounds like a fun bridal shower.

Ms. CHEVY( I don't know why autocorrect change to capital letters), take pics after you are done planting the perennials. Hope you are not affected by the contaminated river... just terrible.

Oops got to work now. BBL

Frey - lipstick or more properly lip glosses like Burts Bees are one of my indulgences. Don't buy much purses or shoes but hard to resist a lipgloss. I read this years ago in Cosmo and thought it was hilarious. When you want to indulge, don't even think about a new car but you can afford just about the most expensive lipstick there is, not in every shade, but one that you love. My feeling about lip gloss. Don't like the goopy kind. Current fav though not colored is Yes to Coconuts coconut lip balm. My biggest gripe is that I will not buy anything that is not safety sealed and I think both Mayb and CG's are not and have some lovely colors. Burts Bees is more expensive but you can see the color and they're sealed. Chevy the only thing I ever finish is lip balm stuff esp. the one I put on at night.

Debiann - so when is the big day for DD? Congrats. Centerpieces for shower look wonderful. What are you cooking?

Ah cooking - used to do that. Today I think I'll make hamburgers because I have some corn that needs using up. Still have not had the oven on. Cool spell today only 98. Rain went thru parts of metroplex but not west of mid town Ft Worth. Pshaw as my DGM used to say, couldn't have been 20%.

Jazzy - I'll look for the chocolate. I keep a bar of Hershey's Dark in the fridge. Indulge infrequently but DH won't eat dark so I'm safe.

Good Golly Sassy. Hope nothing nefarious was up and neighbor has tape of license. I never parked in alleys but I did park in lots of strange places esp if they had nice deep shade while I was doing hospice. I know all the shady spots esp. on the west/sw side of Ft Worth.

Susan - hope the falling parts find their way back into their proper places. Admire you for the bike riding. I think I'd be a hazard to myself on a bike.

Boyds - about biopsy. Not doubt repeating myself. Mine was a total surprise. Doc could do it the day of the sono, I got boss's approval, did it and went on to see I can't tell you how many pts that day (a Tuesday) and my reg. schedule without a hitch. I was not required to do much lifting more like assist and could use my dominant non-affected side for that.

Spookie - Hope the "fun" is truly fun and was not said tongue in cheekish way.

Gads - had to actually put on something decent. Awaiting UPS guy who usually doesn't show until about 2. I have a neighbor who either runs a home business or is perennially broke because he visits her nearly daily. Now Chevy don't be reading anything into that like what the iceman used to do.

WOOOOPPPEEE YAY. WOOOOHHHOOO HAPPY DANCE TIME

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my LE arm pump. Only took almost 3 years!!!!!! Stupid Humana.

as promised, this is the entrance at our first hotel.

smarrty, so fun...have a great time.

Great center pieces !!

Chevy, I am just the opposite . I throw out before the expire date, cause you know, they could be wrong.

Parts still good, and Chevy, not worried at all. I don't even worry about my stage iv and chemo for life. I have sooooo much fun when I can and don't much worry about the rest. Life is life. Can't figure it out so I don't bother. It's all good.

Saw mom today, we had a good time, she was good today. Like to,see those days. Didn't get a chance to talk to brother, but that's ok, really didn't want to ruin my day anyway. Going to dinner with friends. They have the best drink at this place. Just new a year by me. Local guy owns it. The drink is some kind of margarita thing that is just delicious . Once I had three.....prob wasn't a good idea. But my friend was having three drinks , and she couldn't drink alone!!!! That would be to sad. I am such a good friend

Frey- outstanding! You go girl!
