Never Ending Fib
thank goodness its Saturday, i am free for a
whole day, i can do as i please, with no worries
of my office, i can get out and about and smell
the weekend air, see the trees in their greenest
of green, and watch the flowers sway in the breeze
that all sounds so good, however it is going to
rain today, i so needed the sun to shine
today, that i just made up a perfect Saturday
i somewhat fibbed, which will bring me to what
is on my mind
today, my manicurist looked very different to me
as i stood there and watched her, i realized it was
her hair, it was very long, she does not have long
hair, her hair is medium length, i stared in disbelieve
and asked "what did you do to your hair" she said
"oh, i got extensions, don't ya love them" I replied
very quickly "oh, extensions, you hair looks beautiful"
she then went into a 20minute description on how
they put the extensions in, i listened as much as i
could, however all i could think about was how
much I did not like her hair, i thought her hair looked
awful, however i kept telling her how great she looked
i continually checked my nose for growth, but it was
not to be, so i was not found out!
amy winehouse kept surfacing in my mind (as that
is what her hair looked like) and all i kept repeating
in my mind was.... ♪♪ no, no, no ♪♪
i fibbed, and just got deeper, and deeper in it, so deep
that she gave me the womans name who did it and the
location of her salon, i thanked her and took the
information and placed in my pocket only for me
to throw it out when i got to my office
i still can't believe this fib of mine, and how i did not
have the nerve to tell her how i really felt, even the
length of time i know her, which is about 15yrs now
did not sway me a bit, i stuck to my fib like glue
she went to a sweet 16 party on Thursday night and
got her hair done for the party, she will be bringing
in pictures next week for me to see, and i will fib
again and tell her how great she looked
now the fib is in place, i can't take it back, i just
have to go with it, i have to continue to fib, till
probably the week after next, when this will be
a past topic
i only have to hope she never gets these extensions
again, as then the fib will resurface, i have to hope
she sticks with her medium length hair, so i can
be free of this fib, i just have a feeling tho that
this fib is going to continue, as she loved
her hair so much, she will probably do it again
so now i am stuck with this fib, i would love to give
it away, and then be honest, but that is not going to
happen, unless someone on blogville wants it, i will
be happy to hand it over!
just goes to show you, a fib can be never ending!
First!!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's been a while!! Morning to all the fly in, I am heading out to do some work! BBL!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on first bebbi! You were here late last night and here you are again very early! Don't you sleep?
ReplyDeleteCarol: I totally understand your little white lie. My cousin has the most atrocious hair and I feel like I'm lying by omission by not telling her. (It's not like she's ever asked if I like it.) EVERYONE knows it's not a normal look. I mean EVERYONE! But no one ever has the nerve to tell her. One has to determine if the truth is really worth hurting someone's feelings.
ReplyDeleteThe hair extension story makes me think of all the times my second grade boys have ever come to school with a new pierced earring.
ReplyDeleteI just say, "That is interesting", with a smile.
Good Morning iteach! We have a few boys at our elementary school who get mohawks and I say the same thing as you..."That's interesting."
ReplyDeleteAWWW, Carol lol...Being honest when someone asks "does this look good?" etc., is VERY hard to do..I wouldn't have wanted to hurt her feelings either! lol
ReplyDeleteIteach: I understand guys that are teens and older getting ears pierced...no problem, but these young boys..just all sorts of wrong! LMAO
It's beautiful here this morning...Sorry you're gonna have rain Carol..I already went for a walk and stopped by a garage sale! I got some cute new candles 25 cents and a pair of speakers for my laptop(my others just bit the dust lol) for $3.00!! WOOHOO!
Have a great Saturday y'all!
Congrats on first Bebbi! Good morning to you, Iteach and hartldo!
ReplyDelete10!!!!!!!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteBebbi got first!! Very happy to read that your tests came back with good news. I do hope your knee gets better soon!
Carol you spared her feelings and sometimes we have to do that. It is just a hair style and obviously she loved the extensions. So the little fib was not meant to be mean but to boost her self image.
Why steal her joy? Who knows next week she may have it all shaved off. LOL
Good Morning Donna Hart and Iteach!
oops missed Joey Hiya! I read your post and I am obviously half awake because I thought you posted you bought sneakers for your computer! My brain did a huh wha? Ohhh speakers!
ReplyDeleteMorning all!
ReplyDeleteLynndeeee... I read "sneakers" too! I need coffee!!!!!
Morning LynnD and scirish!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO@y'all reading it as 'sneakers'
I do that all the time with words lol
Scrishy and Joey the worst part is in that few seconds my brain was trying to figure out what sneakers for a laptop would do! It flashed red on the bottom of the computer like a non-slip grip kind of thing! Hey maybe we should invent something!
ReplyDeleteOkay yeah I may need more coffee also!
Scrishy have you got everything squared away with moving your Mom???
I'm off to get my hair colored, I hope everyone has a great day!
ReplyDeleteYay for Bargain Hunter Joey!
ReplyDeleteGood morning lynn d and scirish!
ReplyDeleteiteach: When you get back from having your hair colored, I'm going to tell you the truth about it. Can you handle the truth? ;)
Good Morning All OWLS-
ReplyDelete20
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Bebbi - Congrats on First.
ReplyDeleteGood morning tinkatia!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Donna, Iteach,
ReplyDeleteJoey, Lynn and Scirish.
How are you today?
ReplyDelete25
ReplyDeleteI will feed my little ones and be right back in ten minutes.
ReplyDeletethanks hartldo!
ReplyDeleteLOL@Lynn!!
Good morning Tinka!!
I spoke too soon about the weather..HORRIBLE storm here:(
So much for "Steppin' Out"(arts, crafts, music, food) that my Aunt and I were going to attend! lol
Maybe the storm will pass Joey, and you can still enjoy your day of outside activities.
ReplyDeleteDoing well, Tinka, how are you?
No Hart, I don't sleep at all! I am Superwoman!! wooo hooo!
ReplyDeleteTonight I go to a tie die party. It should be fun!
I hate fibs. I hate to have to continue them and I hate them because I am a terrible lier and I wouldn't be able to stick to it.
Pierced boys in 2nd Grade?? I think, "Goodness Gracious" and then I realize, I got my daughter's ears pierced when she was an infant so I could take care of them properly and she wouldn't have to go through the pain..lol! Can you say, Double Standard!!!!
I am glad that we are becoming a more unisex society. Equality for all!
Well, I am going to Factory Card Outlet with my daughter. Her boyfriend moves back from Chicago today because he graduated from school. She is going to get him a little congrats card.
See ya all later, gaters!
Congrats on 1st, Bebbi!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning to ALL owls, love seeing you here!
Carol, very interesting blog. Lying over something that is not a fact is ok in my eyes. You did not want to hurt her feelings. Something like that is a matter of opinion. If she asked you if her partner was stealing from her, and it was true, then you would have to tell the truth - the important stuff. That would hurt her a lot more - but that would help her in the long run. I hope I made myself understandable. LOL
I just checked my pick4 lottery ticket and am trying to find out if I won something lol
ReplyDeleteI rarely play..so not sure..I matched 3/4 numbers!! I had a weird total at Kroger yesterday(same forward and backward), so I played those numbers!
Off to check my mega million ticket!
If you HEAR me all the way from VA, you'll know we won lmao
good morning grandma moses!
ReplyDeleteLynndeeeee...I am so stressed about Mom's move, I don't know where to begin. She got a dumpster yesterday so we are moving the crap out of the garage of the new house and throwing away the stuff she doesn't want in the old. There is still some work to do on the new house, not to mention cleaning all the construction debris up and wouldn't ya know my back is being really bad....arrrrgg I need about 10 workers...Anybody wanna help???
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Grandma Moses. My 'babies' are fed. I have my juice and I am ready to read the blog. I should copy and paste that previous sentence because I say the same thing everyday. How tedious!!!! I hope owls just scroll past my early posts.
ReplyDeleteFactory Card Outlet would heaven to me!!!!
ReplyDelete35
ReplyDeleteSorry Donna, I stepped on you.
ReplyDeleteTotally understood you grandma moses.
ReplyDeleteScrishy you took on a major project! It will be over soon. If I lived closer I would come help!
ReplyDeleteDonna Hart: LMAO Can you handle the truth?
GM: I agree! Hair is just well hair. Personally if my hair looks like crap keep it to yourself! Lie to me so I can get through the day. Now if my boyfriend was stealing from me you better let me know before Mr. Lynn D finds out. LOL
Hi Tinka!
Well I really should start planning out my day. What I thought was going to be on the agenda is not working out! Funny how that works.
BBL
Scirish and Lynn - I read 'sneakers' too. Isn't that the strangest co-incidence? Back to reading comments.
ReplyDeleteNot a problem Tinka. I didn't even notice that you stepped on me. I'm so out of it this morning that I'm numb to the pain. Need some more Diet Dew!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ lynn d's boyfriend!
Thanks guys for asking how I was today. I feel my age today and that's not a good thing. I remember a time when I would wake up on Saturday morning so excited that it was a week-end with so many wonderful things to do. Ah those were the days.
ReplyDeleteScirish - I wish we could get a gang of Owls together to help you. Together, especially with strong guys like Joey, we could get the job done so quickly. I feel for you today my dear.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteHi and congrats on first, Bebbi!
Carol, I agree with everyone else--those kinds of lies are kinder than the truth. And, it's not like she's your best friend, right? You are too kind to have done anything else!
Joey, don't ya just love a good yard sale??
Hi Donna, iteach, Lynn, Scirish, Tinka and Grandma Moses (what you said made perfect sense!)!!
I need some of those strong guys here to help me put my basement back together. Our finished basement flooded on June 4th and it's still a mess. Cleaned out but not put back together. Matter of fact, everything from the basement is in our garage and our cars are out in the driveway. Just can't get motivated to move all that stuff again. Hubby isn't motivated either.
ReplyDeleteScirish, all my best to you in regards to your Mom's house. I really feel for you as we had to clean out my MIL's house several years ago when we moved her to an assisted living home. She kept everything, and I do mean everything! I've never seen so much stuff in a house in my life. It took weeks and was so stressful. I try to remember that and clean out our stuff every year so that my kids never have to go through that.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all goes smoothly for you!
Good morning Sandie! When my outlaws are gone, their house is going to be h*ll to clean out. My husband's mother keeps buying stuff and says, "This will be for my auction after I die." Why would someone deliberately make more work for their children?
ReplyDeleteJoey - If you win the mega millions will you take us all to a Paradise Island, a pink one please?
ReplyDeleteCarol - I agree with all the posts which say that your fibs came from a desire to not hurt her feelings. I don't think that's a sin at all. How badly she would have felt if you told her the truth. Years ago when I wrote a long list of lies my "ex" had told, my lawyer looked at it and said "Well that all adds up to one lie". Think of it that way. It is just one fib, no matter how many times you tell it.
Lies, however, are a different matter. When someone tells a lie, especially when it involves someone else, he or she, in my opinion is despicable. I think she is going to have to answer for that either on this earth or the next. Lies can do so much harm and cause so much grief. This is where Karma comes in.
I am off to have breakfast. I will be back later. Wishing everyone sunshine, warm with just a light breeze, not hot sunshine. Have a great Saturday Friend Owls.
"Friend Owl", that reminds me of the movie "Bambi". I can almost hear Thumper saying it.
Good Morning Sandie - We had so much cleaning out to do also when my mom went into "Care". We looked at the bright side of it however, and thought how much easier it was to do than if we had to do it after she passed. Then, not only would it be work but it would also be very sad. At least my sister, niece and I had a lot of laughs while doing it.

ReplyDeleteBack. I need to find something to tie dye! I am going to a tie dye party tonight, and I don't know what to bring. It has to be 100% cotton, I might have to go and buy something.
ReplyDeleteBebbi - Don't you have old white t-shirts in your drawer? If not that's what I would buy. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteGoing to go and look and get me some lunch. Take care all!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, all....
Bebbi - congrats on first!!
howdy to Bebbi, Hart, Iteach, Joey, Lynn D, Scirish, Tinka, Grandma Moses, and Sandie - and whoever else lands...
cpgem - great blog - you did the right thing.
Joey - I think I heard you screaming, but it was not a happy scream.
Bebbi - Michael's sells plain white t-shirts that are perfect for tye dying!!
Iteach - have fun getting your hair colored -
Scirish - good luck with the move -that is NEVER fun.
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
Tinka, that's a good way to look at the cleaning out of the house.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've procrastinated long enough--got lots to do before my book club tonight (thank goodness it's at someone else's house!).
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day, owls!
Oh, and Hi Moweenie if you fly in! I miss seeing you! Hope you don't have to work all weekend.
Happy Saturday Owls.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I don't like hurting anyone's feelings, but I don't like to fib either, so I usually say something generic like,"Well, it's different." I saw an acquaintance the other day who had her baby grandson with her. She was so proud, but this was one ugly baby (sorry). She was fawning all over him and she finally said the dreaded words.."Isn't he cute?" All I could say was, "he is very special" I felt like the Church Lady. The other thing about me lying or fibbing is my memory is getting so bad, I am afeared (that was for Zona) I wouldn't remember it, to keep it up. LOL
Good morning to all the Owls that have landed.
ReplyDeleteBebbi, congrats on being the early bird.
Joey, did ya win?? did ya? did ya?
Iteach, I hope you get the hair color you want at the beauty school. And if you come out with no eyebrows, there is always eyebrow pencil.
Scirish, Bribe a bunch of strong kids to help you.
Waving a wing at Hartldo, LynnD, Tinka, Gma Moses, Sandie, MEK and everyone who lands after me.
I am going to call HP again, so I may not surface before dark. Have a good day everyone.
flying through again!
ReplyDeleteBebbi how bout a pair of the Mr.'s underwear? Usually they are cotton! hehehehe
Sacbarb: Church lady??? I always prefer in that situation...oh isn't he or she sweet.
Sandie: have fun with the book club! What ya reading?
Hi ya MEK!
Ok I think I have my day planned out and it looks like I will be in the car. LOL
Hope everyone has a day filled with fun!
Good Morning Mek and SacBarb-
ReplyDeleteI am now in my kitchen with my Mac Book and I am procrastinating too. This is our long B.C. weekend so I will probably have a lot of company. I should make some fresh bread. Then at least I could make sandwiches if I can't find anything else to feed the relatives. Actually I think they will all be here Monday - hence the reason for putting things off.
SacBarb - LOL @ feeling like the Church Lady. That brings back memories of SNL and Dana Carvey.
You are right, it's better if you can think of something innocuous but sometimes that's hard to do. Carol would have found it hard to just say "That's different" because in the time it took to do the manicure she was probably asked quite a few questions regarding how she felt about the new hair-do. The Church Lady didn't have too many different lines. My favourite line is one that Barbara Walters uses when she sees a new baby. She tells the proud parents, "Now that's a baby!"
Mek - That's what I was thinking - a plain white cotton t-shirt for Bebbi.
Ok gang I am getting ready to head out for the day!
ReplyDeleteEveryone take care! See later taters!
Tinka, I agree, it would have been difficult for Carol since she had to sit there for so long. Plus, you need to be careful what to say to someone who has sharp implements and is using them on you. LOL Those files can really cut, too.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Owls!
ReplyDeleteBebbi Glad to see your sunflower first thing today. It goes perfectly with the blue skies we have here today.
Carol Ah, the little white lie. I'm pretty good at skirting the issue if my answer is not the one the other person is looking for. Mostly I am honest to a fault. However, in your situation I probably would have gone with something like, "Oh, hair extensions! How fun! Did it take long for them to do? I really like the way you usually wear your hair. Did you just feel like doing something different?" When you get older, like me, you'll get better at doing the side-step. LOL
I have gotten through to HP and I asked to speak to someone who is local (Thanks DonnaJean) and I got my email problem fixed in 30 minutes. YAYYYYYYY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOops! Had to change back to my owly owl. :)
ReplyDeleteBebbi
ReplyDeleteCongrats on first and second.
Donna congrats on third and fourth. I think you two just scored a home run!
Carol
I think it is best to tell a fib if the fib means that you are not hurting anyone and that the fib is actually making someone feel happier about themselves. My opinion is that your fib was an act of kindness. I am guilty of those also. Sometimes honesty can cut like a knife. There is a huge difference between fibs which are harmless and lies or gossip that have no other purpose but to be destructive and nasty.
Good afternoon to all owls above me. I haven't had a chance to read comments. Sorry!
JustLin
ReplyDeleteYou are very wise at how to skirt fibbing!
Sacbarb
Your take on fibbing was amusing!
Sandie
Nice to see you again!
Skirish & Tinkatia
I hope you both feel better soon. Back pains are no fun.
Well, I am off to e-mail Joey and brown nose him extremely just in case he did win the lottery!
Good afternoon feathered friends!
ReplyDeleteBEBBI...congrats on first! And I am glad your mammo was clean. Hope the knees feel better soon, too.
CAROL...your blog was very interesting!! Just kidding...great job on it. I agree, that sometimes a little fib to save someone from uneccessary hurt is ok. I know if someone asks me if I like something and I don't, I have to be very careful in my wording of my repsonse so as to be supportive yet not out and out lie. I like the advice JUST LIN offered up!
Then I think (to myself!) if they asked they should be ready to hear the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!
LYNN...I promise if I find out anyhting your boyfriend is doing behind your back to tell YOU first, before MR. Lynn finds out!!! You really are an M&M peaNUT!!
JOEY...didja win?? didja? didja?? LOL
SANDIE...aw, thanks!! **waving** at ya!
I am off to feed my friends cats, do some laundry and then to meet up with some high school friends for dinner. No, they are not currently in high school...that would just be wrong on soooo many levels!!!Friends I went to high school with (one friend went to Jr. Hi with me)
P.S...SHIRLY, ZONA, TINA, K-GIRL...miss you. {{{HUGS}}}
69?
ReplyDeleteBebbi, congrat's on 1st!
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! My tired owl wings landed in 100 deg. Vegas weather last night! Too hot to be in the pool! I hate piss warm water lol!
Lynnd,You could sell your new invention (laptop sneakers) on e-bay...ouch hee hee! Sorry, really..I'm sorry,...really. I'm not fibbing :+)
Joey, just send a wad of money to Vegas, care of Mary/MI lol!!
SacBarb~ LMAO "sharp instruments"
Tinka~ Save me some home made bread!
I will check back into the nest between $$ breaks. Have a great week-end everyone!!
OH, I just accidentally missed a 69er! LOL!
ReplyDeleteTEE HEEE! I swooped in and got a bonus...SIXTY-NINE!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThink I will have a cig before I get ready to go!!!! Aahhhhh

Mo have fun at dinner tonight with your friends!
ReplyDeleteSacBarb- I'm glad you have everything fixed.
ReplyDeleteJ/L Is your brother still visiting?
Sandie- What book will you be discussing tonight?
ReplyDeleteI have more things to say, but Philip wants to play Barney games on the computer.

SACBARB~ You and I MUST be on the same wave length today! I was just about to post my comment regarding "The Fib" and you literally said just what I was thinking!
Especially the part about ugly Babies! Now all babies "are special" but some just are NOT cute! I always try the generic phrase too, "Wow, look at all that hair", or "She/He certainly has blue eyes" or SOMETHING that cannot be mis-construed. Most people just want you to acknowledge their happiness over their bundle of joy. And sometimes the ugliest babies, turn out to be the most adorable toddlers and gorgeous adults!
About the hair thing though. That's a tough one. Bad color jobs, horrible haircuts, etc. Sometimes I just ask a question back, like "Well, what do YOU think?"
I judge myself too harshly, so I try to never ask anyone about my looks, my outfits etc., because when they say how nice I look or whatever, I ALWAYS have to disagree and say something negative about myself. My daughter (the oldest) gets really angry at me for this.
I am especially critical about my pictures. I HATE the way I look in photos. I think to myself when I am getting ready and I have finished my make-up, my hair etc, "Hey, not bad today" and then I take a picture and I think "That is NOT what I saw in the mirror this morning" and I feel crummy all day long.
Low self esteem, I know. I need to GET OVER IT! But, it is not as easy as it seems. I am trying!
Just posting avatars of myself was a HUGE step for me! And the Graduation picture, well, I don't know how I talked myself into that!
I kind of got off track of the Theme of the Blog today, but do any of you feel this way also?
SACBARB~ I am so glad you followed my suggestioin and your situation was resolved with HP!
DIANNE~ still sending out prayers, positive thoughts and ((HUGS)) to you and your daughter and family!
Miss Laurie and I are having mani/pedis this afternoon. NO Carp Pedicures though for us!!!
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Make it a fun one!
Till later, Peace and Love to all, Donna Jean
MO and MARY/MI snuck in while I was typing away!
ReplyDeleteWaving a wing to you both too!
And I better be safe and just say HI to everyone who flys in after I post!!!
See Y'All later, Donna Jean
Good Morning Donna Jean, Just_Lin, Maureen, Dreama and Mary - All those owls who flew in while I was working (LOL I actually have been on the phone).
ReplyDeleteIt's a hard life this retirement. I am now going down for a nap. Shirley didn't leave out any Slim Fast so I hope I have some in the cupboard. I will see you all this afternoon. Waving a wing at all the owls that fly in while I am gone.

ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Owls! What a wasted day! I was sitting on the couch watching some design show, trying to motivate myself to get up and clean house, and the next thing I know - 2 1/2 hours had passed. I had been asleep that whole time! My daughter has a friend over and they stayed quietly in her room playing. My husband was working in the basement (finally), and lazy me, asleep!
ReplyDeleteDONNA JO~ How wonderful you were able to have that restful time all to yourself!
ReplyDeleteA nap is never a waste! Think of it as a "respite" from all your never-ending chores and duties!
I am happy you had that rest!
Nap is my favorite three letter word. I just woke up from with all my children. I'm sure going to miss them when school starts.
ReplyDeleteOh, and my kids too. :)
HiHi HI!
ReplyDeleteStopping in between running around!
I have the icky stuff done (grossry shopping) and now I am getting ready to take off again. Going to visit my friend who was in the hospital this week. She is home now! Yay!
I have been thinking about Dianne and her daughter off and on today! Sending them big (((Hugs)))
You are all so funny wish I could take a nap! Feeling sluggish.
Iteach! You are such a card!
Hi Mo and Donna Jean! Afternoon Dreama and Just lin!
I think I got everybody!
See ya later!

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of naps, I just awoke from one. I need a Diet Coke. Then a walk with my puppies to fully wake up. Be back later.
ReplyDeleteI love naps too, but I didn't even mean to take one today. And I never thought I'd sleep that long just sitting up! I guess I really needed the rest. The sad thing is, I still feel tired. Yawn!
ReplyDeleteIs everyone napping?

ReplyDeleteHi, Hart! I hope I didn't wake you.
ReplyDeleteLOL Just_Lin! Nope, I'm awake now. Just trying to catch up online while Mr. Hart is away at his weekly poker game.
ReplyDeleteJoey, I forgot to tell you that I absolutely love going to garage sales. I'm so glad you found a good deal today.
ReplyDeleteBebbi, did you have fun at the tie dye party?
ReplyDeleteDonna Jean I don't like how I look in photos either, but I need to get over it for sake of my kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't want them to forget what I look like when they were young.
iteach - I really did!
ReplyDeleteI put up pics from the party. If anyone wants to see them. I forgot to have someone take a picture of me though. :(

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteOh my, I had such a busy day, some of my family came over to see my dad and it was non stop.... Everyone was fed, they had plenty to drink, we had fruit and then of course dessert.
They just left.. and my back hurts.. However I did not do as much as mother did... She did not complain once, she amazes me...
And we have to do it all again on Thursday, as my dad turns 84.. I think we will order a tray of sandwiches and such.. I don't want her to have to make a big meal again....
I did not read the comments as of yet....I have to prepare tomorrows blog, which I will do now.. I will be back...
Hope everyone had a good day
Glad you had a nice day with all of your family together Carol.
ReplyDeleteCarol that sounds like a fun family day!
ReplyDeleteBebbi, I'm glad you had fun. Your pictures were cute.
It does sound like a nice day. My mom does that too and I don't know how she does it! Sorry to hear your back is hurting.
ReplyDeleteI put up a video on MS (along with the pics) of the Tie Dye.
Just got back inside from roasting some marshamallows and making s'mores with MR. JODI and the youngest!!! FUN!!! Except that our state bird....the misquito, is out in full force....so we're back inside now.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone has a great night!!

ReplyDeleteCarol: I hope your back is better by morning. Try a warm bath.
My mom is also like yours. Never stops and never complains. I sure didn't take after her!
Carol, OMG!!!..you have never had a s'more?? Wow..I never knew anyone that never had one before.
ReplyDeleteMy theme this year is going to be camping and I plan to have S'Mores at Open House.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about it gets me all excited.
CAROL - I saved a s'more for you....but that JOEY beat me to it!!! Damn....he's quick!!! And I make mine with DOUBLE the chocolate!!!
ReplyDeleteITEACH - Sorry about the shirt!!! :P
BEBBI - Yes, and they're freakin' huge this year!!!
So sorry.....that should've been a comment to DONNA JO about the misquitoes!!! My bad.....:(
ReplyDeleteJodi, I figured as much, didn't figure you had extra huge s'mores this year. ;)

ReplyDelete130~!!!
ReplyDeleteJust got back from my book club--it was fun, even though I didn't enjoy the book. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteDid someone says s'mores?? I think they're actually best in the microwave! Everything melts just right. Love 'em!
Jodi, LOL@the state bird! I HATE mosquitos!! I don't hate many things, in fact I try not to hate at all, but I HATE mosquitos!!!
Speaking of mosquitos, every time Matthew is bit by one, they swell huge on him. I feel bad. I try to keep him sprayed, but some darn mosquito finds the part I missed.
ReplyDeleteBEBBI - And no....I wasn't referring to your "monsters" either!!! :P
ReplyDeleteI hate mosquitoes too. They are so annoying! I always heard that if you use some Avon product it will keep them away, but I cannot remember the name of it!! sheesh..going to look on google. ... found it! SKIN SO SOFT!
ReplyDeleteLOL jodi, I thought of that too but figured it would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off topic, but of course, you could be obsessing over them (ewww)..just kidding. ;)
ReplyDeleteITEACH - A couple weeks back at Jake's baseball game, there was a little girl (only about 2) that had gotten bit by the outside corner of her eye. Her whole eye was swollen shut....I felt so bad for her. It looked like someone has smacked her.
ReplyDeleteBEBBI - I'm not, but like I told you before.....they put my "girls" to shame. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteSandie: I like S'mores in the mircrowave too. I went to a Girl Scout Leader training last fall and we made them in tin foil over a fire, instead of just melting a marshmallow on a stick, the good old fashioned way. They burnt and were disgusting! I'm not a very good Girl Scout. I'm more of a "sleep in a real bed, use a flushing toilet, have AC, and microwave my S'mores" kind of gal.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Donna. No sleeping in a tent for me, no thank you. I was a cub scout den leader for years--thank goodness cubs don't go on campouts.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight HO's!!! I can hardly keep my eyes open.
ReplyDeleteGood night, Jodi!
ReplyDeleteGood night, Jodi!
ReplyDeleteSandie: I was a Den Leader too, and my husband was the Scout Master. Our Cubs DID go camping! Luckily, I sent my hubby to those events.
Good night Jodi!
ReplyDeleteHA! Donna, my husband was the Cubmaster! How funny. Our cubs went camping on occasion when it was a area wide cub camp and then my hubby went, also.
ReplyDeleteSandie: I hope book club was fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThe kids wore me out too, I'm going to head for bed.
ReplyDeleteGood night everyone!
Me too on the head to bed..good night iteach and goodnight everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, Bebbi. The book was a little weird but we quickly got off topic and had fun talking about a lot of other stuff! LOL
ReplyDeleteNite iteach and Jodi!
Goodnight, Bebbi!
ReplyDeleteI'm heading that way, too.
Goodnight, Donna!
Goodnight iteach, Bebbi and EVERYONE! I'm hitting the hay too. Mr. Hart is home early from his poker game. YAY!
ReplyDeleteNight Night Sandie.
ReplyDeleteI did not prepare tomorrows blog yet,

No, I have never had a s'more..Ever!

Carol: I have an idea for a blog. Since I'm new here, I don't know a lot about people. Maybe we could have a get-to-know-you blog? A refresher course for the rest of you?
ReplyDeleteLike...Where do you live?
How many children? Grandchildren?
Occupation?
Whatever someone wants to share.
What do you think?
Donna:
ReplyDeletePerfect! Tomorrows blog will be just that! Thanks...
