Purpose, as in Life!


The struggle of life continues for us daily, there is no rule book, its just us flying by the seat of our pants trying to figure out what our next move is. Our decisions are ours, whether they are right or wrong, we must stand by them. As hard as it might seem, there is always one who has it harder, we must remember that and tell ourselves that daily. Our loved ones surround us, sometimes giving us relief, sometimes giving us heartache, but they are there, always and forever. Its the connection that keeps us real, it holds us up even tho we feel down. We must continue it has to be done we can do it even tho at times we don't think we can, its in the purpose. Life is a funny thing it does not stop, it goes and goes, somewhat like the energizer bunny, no stopping it. Hold on, be determined, its just life, make it real. There is a purpose I promise, it might not be clear now, but it will surface.

As I type this it is pouring rain, the raindrops hit the window I hear them, it continues, there is no stopping it now its to fast and furious, but in time it will stop the sun will shine and the yellow will appear, it always does.

Whew I ran hard for that finish line!

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Carol you are right life just marches on and we have to keep up. I will say decisions are ours right or wrong and we have to stand up for ourselves and admitting when we are wrong makes us stronger. I have had that come up in the last week or so.

Change is hard but things are always changing and we grow and adapt or wither away.

scirish said...

FORE!!! (For MEK)

Carol....Boy...Did this blog ever resonate with me!!! Thanks for writing it!!! BTW...I was cracking up reading about you and your Dad last night! (sorry you were frazzled though) I totally got what you were saying..

iteach said...

Good morning from Michigan!

It is a very beautiful day and we are off to Airzoo.

Beautiful blog Carol, it fits all of us. :)

scirish said...

Barb...Praying for you and your son...What a difficult thing to have to go through!!!

Ibb...Wow...Scary about those bears!! We have had Coyote sightings in one of our parks...In fact they killed a deer. The local news has issued warnings against leaving small pets outside. It seems strange as we are in the middle of a city!

Goldie...Sorry to hear about the possibility of Hailey's reoccurence, but glad to hear the 3 year old is ok....what a scare that must have been!

Lynn D said...

Morning Scrishy and Iteach!

What is Airzoo?

I am getting ready to catch up on things here and then I have a shift for a food drive this afternoon.

Thinking about Sacbarb and her son! Saw the latest update and glad they got his breathing situation under control!

Goldie every year at this time the news here puts out public service announcement about kids and open windows. As the weather gets nicer there is usually a report about a toddler falling through a window screen. I am so glad the little one was unharmed!

I hope Haley does not have to have anymore surgeries. Will be sending up positive thoughts!

Ibb I don't even know what to say about the bears! I don't think I would leave my house!

bonachichi said...

Good morning scrish, iteach and a big #1 for LynnD!

A very insightful blog, Carol. It makes you look at yourself as part of the big picture.

sacBarb, wherever you are, pls take care of yourself. Often it's the parents/caretakers who run them selves ragged. Make time for you.

bonachichi said...

I have been evaluating some new software this week. Okay, it's really a game and it's similar to the Sims, which has little people you control.

Some of the little people make me so angry. They don't do what I tell them. I drop them into shark infested water or over a cliff. Am I evil? I spent about 15 minutes dunking one of the little people into the water.

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Congrats on 1st lynn.

Bonacci- LOL

Carol- life does just march on. But the alternative is not so good. So all things being equal it really is the best, even when it is the worst.

Hope everybody has a great day! I am heading off to the camper for the weekend, home on Sunday and then 2 grad parties. I think the last of them finally!

goldie said...

Dianne- the necklace will be in the mail to you today!

Sacbarb- thinking of you and your son....

MEK in AZ said...

Happy Friday!!

cpgem - Oh - the purpose of Life!!
Sometimes I wonder!! Thank you for your words today!!

:-)

MEK in AZ said...

MEK in AZ said...

Lynn - congrats on FIRST

Scirish - thanks for FORE!! You put a smile on my face!! Yes, cpgem's blog today, made me think of all us on "parent duty"!!!

Iteach - good morning from Southern AZ..

Goldie - yes, the alternative isn't a choice I would pick right now either!!

bonacci - I've never heard of the game you are talking about - but have fun.......

Our little one has her third training session today - we are taking Bailey with her - cuz she seems to calm her nerves - so that we don't have to call Hazmat for the car!!

waving howdy to all who land..
:-)

MEK in AZ said...

LOL - Lynn - I just noticed your second comment....

I picture you crossing the finish line as if you have just finished a marathon!!

Good JOB!!!

ibebold said...

Good Morning OWLETTES!!!!

LynnD... Congrats on 1st...

Waving at LynnD... Scrishy... Iteach..Bonacci... Goldie... MEK...

I teach I have to ask also... what is Airzoo... have fun ...

SacBarb... continued prayers for you and your son...

Goldie.. have fun at the camper...


I am off to the pool today... hope the weather co-operates today... it is sunny at the moment... but i see clouds...

whabbear said...

Good morning, everybody!

Carol: Have you seen "Annie" lately? LOL!

ibebold said...

Morning Whabby!!!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Whabby - LOL..

IBB - have fun at the pool -

MEK in AZ said...

YEAH!!!

Oh - and the Black Eyed Peas are doing a TERRIBLE job at lipsyncing on the Today Show!! goodness!!!

goldie said...

MEK- LOL at Hazmat for the car.

Just talked to our friends and the little girl gets to come home later today. Her butt hurts she says..... Called and ordered a big bouquet of balloons for her- she will be thrilled since she has a mad crush on my husband!

Loving the comments on the Necklace in myspace- if anyone wants to see them they are under "my photos"..... :)

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - Have fun @ the camper this weekend!! One of my weekends off I'd love to join you!! I'd even be willing to bring the potato salad.....!!!

CAROL - Very appropriate blog!! As my Grandpa Jacobson used to say "time waits for no one"....how true!!

LYNN D - Congrats on first!! Are your little legs tired?!!?

ITEACH - Have fun....and say hi to our friend Joe if you see him!!!

Waving a wing @ SCIRISH, BONACCI, MEK, IBB, and WHABBY!!

Just got home from taking the boys out for breakfast and getting my hair cut. HOLY CRAP.....she damn near scalped me. Thankfully my hair grows like a freakin' weed!!

Just_Lin said...

LynnD Congrats on coming across that finish line first! Did you train hard for that?

MEK Just watched the Black Eyed Peas on The View. They were NOT lipsyncing. It was good.

iteach Have fun with your family today.

Bonacci LMAO @ being mean to the little pretend people. Could be theraputic, I'd think.

SacBarb I hope everything is going great with Chad.

Goldie Loved your necklace pics.

Bear LOL @ "Annie". I think "Tomorrow" must be one of the most annoying songs of all time. IMHO

Carol Great blog today and very timely for me. The recent demise of my relationship has me asking the question, "What was the point?" We were so great together while it lasted and I had such high hopes for it. It was difficult for me to let it go but I finally have. I do think it helped me transition from grieving over my husband and getting on with my life. Maybe that was the point.

Just_Lin said...

I forgot to wave at HOdi, scirish, and IBB! I see you all and love you all.

bonachichi said...

I thought this game evaluation would be a piece of cake. It's not like solitaire. It's been running for 3 days.

I find that I'm very strict with my pretend people. Sometimes I just have to teach them a lesson.

iteach said...

I was in the same town as Joe Biden today, Kalamazoo.

The reason why I know is because Dean and I really close to Air Force Two today.

Airzoon is space/airplane museum and we came into stones throw of the Air Force Two.

Whabby I thought of you the whole time when we were in the space part of the museum. It was way too cool.

MEK in AZ said...

Update from sacBarb!!!

her son has been moved out of ICU and they are trying to control his pain (has lots of it)..

She wants to thank everyone, again and still, for your continued thoughts and prayers!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Just Lin - i am SO glad that The Black Eyed peas were better on the View - (I missed it as we were at our training lesson)...

Goldie -you will be happy to know - Hazmat was NOT needed today!! (I am extremely thankful for that)..

Jodi - I'm sure your haircut looks GREAT!!

iteach - glad you had fun at Airzoon (and I'm sure you didn't actually throw any stones!!LOL)..

for all those traveling - safe travels..

for all those that need hugs (((HUG)))...

for all those that are not feeling well - please feel better soon!!

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - for some reason - your blog has me singing - "The Wheels on The Bus Go Round and Round" - all day!! it's just STUCK in my head..

now - ALL SING TOGETHER!!!!

:-)

night.owls.sb said...

Lynnd..

Glad you got to the finish line..

Happy 1

night.owls.sb said...

Scirish..

I read my comment again this morning, and I was cracking up as well.. Its a new day.. so on we go..

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach..

Yes, I agree it does fit us all..

Glad you enjoying Kalamazoo.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

Thanks for all the updates on Sacbarb's son..

Sacbarb..

You and your family are in my thoughts.. sorry your son is in pain, hopefully in a couple of days he will feel better..

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

I think you are thinking of that song, cause all we do is go "round and round" I am singing with ya!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

Area51..

I was so out of it, I did not even realize comments were close to a march, but that goodness for you, as you marched right in there..

night.owls.sb said...

Iteach..

That is so neat.. so glad you are enjoying..

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

There is always a point, at times the point is not clear right away but eventually it shows itself..

You relationship with custard, could have very well been a stepping stone to your grieving process...

night.owls.sb said...

Whabby..

You are always so insightful.. LOL..

night.owls.sb said...

JodiHo!

I think grandpa jacobson words are so true.. sometimes tho I wish we can stop time.. but that sure isn't not going to happen..

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci..

Little ppl.. over a cliff.. kinda reminds me of Super Mario falling in one of those dark holes. As hard as I tried with those damn controls, I could never get him back up..

night.owls.sb said...

Mek..

Glad the little bundle of joy.. did well in the car.. I love that Bailey is her friend.. so cute..

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, I am off and running.. well actually walking... LOL

c u all later..

Maureen said...

SACBARB...hoping that Chad's pain subsides quickly. {{HUGS}} to you both.

BONACCI...too funny! Maybe you are more religious then you think and you were merely baptizing the little heathen!!

JUST LIN...There was def a purpose to you and Custard. Maybe it was a way of showing you that it is ok to feel that way about another man and in no way is it disrespecting your late hubby. Maybe Custard was the conduit of your feelings. I'm sorry that you have felt so much hurt. {{hugs}}

ITEACH...glad you are enjoying Kalamazoo! I guess it is better to be a stones throw away from Biden then a shoes throw! ;)~

MEK...the wheels on the bus go round and round!!! I'm singing with you!

CAROL...great blog. I guess there is a purpose to everything in life, even if we don't recognize it when it is happening. And the best we can do is roll with it. I know it is easier said then done. I have wondered a lot of WHY's and have yet to find the answers. So I roll along and try to fake it till I make it.

LYNN...gratz on first! I can see you running thru your house saying "I gotta be first, I gotta be first"!!

IBB...hope you had fun a the pool.

JODI...hope day one of summer vacation wasn't too hard! Only a couple of months to go!

I have to figure out how to hook up my converter box to my tv. As of now, I have no tv! Nothing like procrastinating. I hope it works and I can settle in for some lame tv tonight! Or it is gonna be a lonnnnnggggggg night!

Bebbilane said...

bonacci: Your post made me laugh. When my son was younger, he had the game - roller coaster tycoon. We used to build roller coasters and leave them open and send people over the edge..LOL. Also, there was another game that I liked called "Crazy taxi". I used to try and drive it in front of trains and into crowds..it was too fun! Your post about the drowning of the sim like people reminded me of that.

Hello LynnD, Bonacci, scrishy, iteach, goldie, Mek, Mo, Carol, J/L and anyone I may have missed.

Also, Congrats on first Ms. Lynn.

Carol: I hope you are doing well on your walking! I have a yard sale tomorrow and Sunday. I have 12,614 steps so far. I hope to get 20K before midnight. I did really good on my choices today foodwise too. I expect the "good" day to show up as a reward on my scale tomorrow morning..lol, but, alas, that doesn't always happen. Still, I hope.

I loved your blog today. Yes, life goes on and on. A friend of mine's just lost a close friend. He was 49 and the memorial is tomorrow. I did not know his friend but I brought him in Panera breads to serve at the Memorial tomorrow. This friend, another friend and I had lunch on Wednesday. It was nice because we all told each other how much we loved each other. And, we all understand the importance of that, especially with this sudden death. My friend talked about his friend quite a bit, he would always come over and help out.

Well, all, I am trying to make it in here more even if it is just to spout and leave..lol. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Bebbilane said...

Sacbarb: Sorry to hear your son is in pain too. Hugs to you. Your such a good mom. :)

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi Everyone....MEK: Thanks for the updates from SACBARB. I am also glad that Tug had no "accidents" on the way to training today. Yea for Bailey being the helper/.

SACBARB: Sending continued postive thoughts to you and your son. I hope he is better and the paid is less everyday.

CAROL; I wanted to give you a quick comment on your blogs today and yesterday. You are such a great gal to continue to help Ralph when he shows up from time to time. A very sad situation.
Your blog today was so true too. Time marches on...

I wanted to thank all of you for the nice comments on my blog of "four girls" the other day. It is sad that they have to be so afraid and making plans. I do like listening to their reasoning on why they do certain things. Their little minds are busy.

Kayla just called me to tell me she is on honor roll again. It just started this year so this is the second time. She is so excited. I hope that "excitement" continues all the way thru college. They don't get out of school until next Friday as they are on year round. My grandsons are already out and I think my DIL is ready for school to start again!

I am still having tooth pain so I think it is time for some more meds and hopefully, some sleep. I did make an appt with the root canal dentist for Monday in case this still hurts. I am going to try and get on with life and the weekend tomorrow...JUSTLIN....there is that song...TOMORROW!!

ITEACH: I hope you and your family are having a wonderful trip.

BONO: Get better soon.

Maureen said...

****LONG POST ALERT****
Can I get something off my chest? I am struggling with some issues and maybe if I write it out, I will get a handle on it. ANd I am sure you guys can offer some advice.

For years I have been feeding my friends cats when they go on vacations. I have gone every other day. I refill the dry food and wash out and refill the water bowls. I give them treats and spend a good amount of time petting them and keeping them company, as they are lovely and friendly cats.

Last year, I spent a week in June going there every other day while they vacationed at the beach.

Then in August I spent 3 weeks going there while they spent a week in Calif. and then 2 weeks on an Alaskan cruise.

Next week, they are going to the beach again and as expected it was a given I would go and take care of the cats. But, now all of a sudden she springs on me that it has to be everyday, as one of her cats decided it likes this certain food that has to be served up daily.

I am feeling resentful. And that is what is bothering more then the fact that for that week, if I wanted to go somewhere after work I can't. She doesn't live that close to me, and gas is skyrocketing again.

I am feeling resent that I wasn't asked if that was ok...so if I said no, other arrangements can be made.

And the worse thing I am feeling is jealousy. It started last year when they went on the cruise, and got worse when while on that cruise she got a $4000 bracelet. I was NEVER a jealous person. I am glad they have the means to do those things. But the envy is overwhelming me. When they returned, I didn't even want to hear about the trip or see the bracelet...but I did. It was worse when she would call from somewhere in Alaska and tell me how gorgeous it is and what a great time they were having. While I was shlepping to her house. At least that time they didn't TELL me to water the lawn and the hundreds of plants they have all over the yard and porches.

And now the jealousy is back as they prepare another adventure. I want to get past it, but I am wallowing in it. I used to love vacations and now don't expect to take one again for many years.

I would never tell them that I wouldn't take care of their fur babies. I truly love the kitties..and them.

Tell me to get over it! or tell me something sage! Or tell me to shut the hell up. Tell me I am rotten for feeling that way.

I don't know.

****END OF LONG POST ALERT****

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Ok Bitch! Get over it and look after the damn cats!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Now if you want some better advice...tell her you can't do it this time but maybe next time.

Maureen said...

SHIRLEY...ummmm, thanks for the first bit of advice! LOL! As for the 2nd, it really isn't an option at this point. I had committed already. But I may tell her that she will have to retrain the cat to like the old food or I won't be doing it ever again.

Maureen said...

DIANNE...hope you feel better soon.

kahonugrl said...

MO:
I think that after taking care for so long and being "friends with them" you should be able to speak your mind. At least tell them that you will need to be reimbursed for your gas money if nothing else...if they complain then they do not realize what a more than generous thing you are doing for them. Otherwise they would have to kennel the cats and pay per cat per day.

Congrats on 1st Lynn D!

Good evening
Scirish...How are things with mom?

Iteach...Have a great vacation!

Bonacci...Back away from the little people!

Goldie...Have fun camping.

Mek...Thanks for the update on Sacbarb's son and glad your "little one" is making progress.

IBB...have fun at the pool (hopefully you aren't still in it or you would look like a prune by now!) Lol!

Whabbear...I sometime have no clue what the hell you are saying! Lol!

Jodi...I'm sure your hair is fine.

Just_Lin...I think your remarks about todays blog are very true. (((HUGS)))

Carol...Great blog as alway. Now walk the hell out of thoses sore legs!

Maureen...I hope you get your TV workable. Your a smart girl, you will figure it out.

Bebbi...your dedication to loosing weight is remarkable! Keep up the good work!

Dianne...Sorry about your sore mouth. Would margaritas help?

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Hi K-girl! What a wise turtle you are!

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

Sorry I couldn't be any more help Maureen.

bonachichi said...

Mo and Carol; There is nothing religious about what I'm doing to the little game people. Cliff diving, shark infested dunkings and a few of them into the fire pit.

Games like this make you think of new and creative torture techniques.

Maureen said...

KGIRL...last year, when gas was even higher, they did give me a gas gift card. I would imagine they would do that again this year.

SHIRLEY...I haven't even tried yet. Kinda liking the solitude and quiet without the tv.

BONACCI...seems like you are trying for a job at gitmo, developing new torture techniques!

bonachichi said...

Mo, I like to observe people. From your vacation/cat post, it seems to me that you're not jealous, but maybe envious? Heck, I'm envious. To be able to travel where when and with whom you want? Who wouldn't envy that lifestyle?

Do these friends bring you souveniers or give you tokens to show their appreciation? If they can pop for a $4K bracelet, they can afford to express their appreciation in a material way.

I wouldn't punish the kitty's, but I also wouldn't lift a finger to save the landscaping. If they can afford all that, they can afford to put in a new yard when theirs dies.

kahonugrl said...

The devil in me says leave the frickin hose on THE WHOLE TIME THEY ARE AWAY~ that way the yard is watered....thoroughly.

Maureen said...

KGIRL...I like the devil in you! That would be kinda funny!

BONACCI...maybe I am not jealous, just sad that that is a part of my life that has changed so much over the last couple of years. I dont know, I guess it is envy...which ain't pretty. I am NOT going to do their lawn or plants. I already decided that. Last year, from ALaska I got a cloisenne (sp) little piggy charm and a bar of soap! I think I got a magnet from the beach. Oh, I forgot, I also spent a week in Jan and a week in Feb last year feeding the cats when they went to visit the parents in Florida! That time I got a sweatshirt...that didnt fit!!

I dont do it for the gifts. But everytime they wear the cool Alaska sweatshirt jackets I do drool a little bit.

kahonugrl said...

Weenie:

Can you bundle up the kitties and bring em to your place? If you enjoy their company kinda would solve the back and forth thing....

just a suggestion.

Maureen said...

Good thought KGIRL, but not really an option. I would have to bring the carriers, the litter boxes, their bowls, food, toys, litter...and I think the older one would freak at being in the car and at a new house. She is about 15 or older. But a good suggestion. Mahalo!

BTW, I think it was 20 years ago this week when I was in Hawaii. It was King Kamehameha Day when I was there! Geeze, I can't believe it was that long ago.

Tina~in_ut said...

Mo~ you could just shoot one of the cats and sure as shit, they'll never ask you to watch them again~ ijs~ :D

kahonugrl said...

Tina:

Your a freak.... ijs~

night.owls.sb said...

Hi to all above me, and hello to all that will be below me..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

TinaHO!

You are def on crack!!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Mo..

Bonacci is right.. its not so much
jealousy, it is more being envious. I think we all have a envious streak in us. I know I do, my SSO points it out to me all the time, and most of the time I have to agree..

It might be too late now, as you have committed and did not mention about not wanting to go every day. But I would certainly tell them on their return, that every day is out of the question from here on in. You must tell them it was to much for you to do, and if every other day does not work out then they must find someone else..

What upsets me most, is that she did not ask, she told, and that is truly unacceptable (as per JO JO.. lol)

If you still have the chance to tell her you can't do everyday, then I would tell her so..

My life has changed as well, I can't do things that I used to do, as the economy has hit my business hard.. sometimes you do wonder??
What you did wrong?? I know the feeling.. Life changes and we have to roll with it..

And if all else fails do what Tina said to do..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle..

They will come home to a house under water.. with MO and the kitties on the roof.. LOL

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci..

You have g-mail from me..

bonachichi said...

Oops. I just blew up the Little People Lab. It was supposed to be a tasty treat for the kiddies.

Mo, these people are taking advantage of you. It's not right for them to treat you this way. It's completely up to you, but maybe you could meet your commitment, then tell your friends you just can't afford the gas to go there everyday for next time. There are people who do this type of thing for a living. As in, they get PAID to do it.

I did walk my legs 2nite, however I went much slower, I am not as sore, I just have to lighten it up a bit, I think I was trying to do to much..

I am feeling sad 2nite, our tenants Sarah and Danielle are a terrific couple, we are crazy about them. These last few nights they have not been coming home. My mom saw Danielle come today and take out two shopping bags, and did not come back.. I txted Sarah 2nite to ask her if she was ok, and she txted me back telling me they split up. I am assuming they are staying at friends and family, as I guess it to hard for each one to stay alone..

They are very young 25ish, and have been together about 4yrs. Sarah just told me a couple months ago that she was going to propose to Danielle. I was so happy..

I am hoping they are going thru a rough patch, and they can work it out. What scares me is their age, as it seems these young ones can walk away so easy..

I just have to hope I would be crushed if they break up for good..

night.owls.sb said...

crap, I was typing my novel.. and turtle marched, and kicked me with her doc martins..

OUCH!!!!!

kahonugrl said...

Ok I am heading home from work. Finally got the damn 40' container passed thru Customs. Hopefully that means no phone calls this weekend.

Bebbi: I feel like a loser compared to you. Tho my day is not done yet, I only have 14372 steps in. Even if I went home and walked til the sun went down I wouldn't break your numbers....lol But I think 4.9 miles while at work isn't so bad.

Later all

kahonugrl said...

Umm I don't have my Docs on today Carol, I have my go fast tenny walkers on.

Your tenants...sad, but it does happen. Time will tell if they can put it back together again. But if they cannot, better to be apart then complacent.

bonachichi said...

Ack on the g-mail, Carol. Now you have one.

night.owls.sb said...

Turtle..

teeney walkers hurt just as much!!!
LOL

And you are so very right.. not good to be complacent.. I am still gonna hope tho..

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci..

I just answered you.. we are all set!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I crack myself up..

tenny.. I made into teeney..

Crap, I am turning into my dad!

night.owls.sb said...

Mo..

Let me know how the converter box works, I am curious to know if the picture is clearer as they said it would be.. and if you get more channels..

Geez, can I be anymore nosier.. LOL

Maureen said...

Thanks all for your input.

I think I am going to take advantage of my procrastination and enjoy the quiet, take 2 Tylenol PMs and try to sleep.

see ya tomorrow

East Bay J said...

Hi hooters,

All I can say is TGIF. What a busy week at work it's been.

Carol as usual I love your blog, you just have a way with words. After I read today's blog I just thought wow, Carol wrote what I feel. You are AMAZING!

Mo, my idea when I read about your kitty dilemma was to bring them to your house. Then I saw that Kgirl suggested it too!

SacBarb, glad your boy is doing well. I'm so happy to hear that!

Today in the midst of my crappy day, MR. EBJ called and was panicked. He could not find Nancy anywhere.

He said the only time he'd left the house was to take the pile of Goodwill stuff out to the driveway from the garage. He had also gone in the back yard.

He looked under the bed, in drawers, everywhere he could think of and she was no where to be found. He went around the neighborhood and looked.

About 3 hours later, he went to the bedroom and picked up a pair of pants he had laying on the recliner. He thought the pants felt heavy and right then a little kitty popped her head out of the pants leg.

I was so relieved when he called me to tell me she had been found. I was having a really bad day and her being lost made it almost unbearable.

Anyway, we have a bratty kitty on our hands.

I'm too tired to address everyone that I want to, so I pull a Mary and say:

Congrats!
Amazing!
Sorry to hear that!
HA HA HA!
I agree!
Have fun on your trip!
That sounds good!

I hope everyone had a nice day, and has a nice weekend!

Never say the word "tennies" to a Brit. You have to explain to them that tennies is slang for tennis shoes. Then they argue that you're not playing tennis (unless you are).

So you have to tell them that "tennis shoes" is slang for sneakers. This more often than not, offends them because a "sneaker" is a Peeping Tom.

You are firmly informed that the object(s) you are discussing are called "trainers", which starts a whole new argument. Nobody's training or being trained (unless of course, you are), but you just add "trainers" to your weird English along with boot, crossroads, bridee and lorrie.

And they say WE talk funny!

k-girl, I only ended up with 16,614. I thought that I would get a lot more setting up the yard sale. I hope to get a lot tomorrow though. That was the lowest day I have had in a week! :)

Yay for walking. You do get a lot of steps.

Mo: You are such a good friend to do that for your friend. I would be envious too if I even knew anyone that had a 4000 bracelet. Actually, I would probably be more envious of the adventures.

Bebbilane said...

Carol: Don't be too inspired..I just ate a bunch of cheese and have been eating, eating, eating to stay awake while I price jewelry for my yard sale..haha. This is so hard. I have a love/hate relationship with yard sales.

Okay..going now and trying to get a little shut eye before 6 a.m. rolls around.

MO I'm afraid I don't have anything new to add to the feedback that you've already received. I do agree that you are being taken for granted and they are taking advantage of your friendship and helpful nature. If I understand this correctly, you have, in effect, already committed to this time but you need to make it clear that you will not being petsitting next time if daily visits are what are required.

Just_Lin said...

Bebbi Good luck on your yard sale! I hope it goes well and you have good weather.
