Hi Gail,
I have been looking on the internet for some baby toys and have not found anything for her age group yet. They have a lot of rattles and things like that but she has that stuff. She is getting bored with that stuff. She needs something else. I am looking for the things where you push on it and it pops up. It has different animals under each door. I do not remember what they call them. I am going to go to Wal-Mart tomorrow and see if I can find one there.
I did see those waist trainers. The girls that they show on tv wearing them look really strange. Does it really make you waist that small? That would not be worth it. It would not work for me I would have this little waist and big hips and boobs sticking out. It would definitely make a person look like a freak. You are right they do need help. Why would you want to do that to yourself. It is terrible that they do those type of things to make girls want to make themselves thinner. Just enjoy life because it is too short to worry about things like that.
You are lucky that you can turn your furnace from heat to air. I wish Ron would check into central air again. It was so nice when we had it. He listens to his bil and does some dumb things because he suggests it. We have a window air conditioner and he has central air so who was the smart one.lol
Do you have any plans for the week-end? I think that we are going to stay home and just relax. We have been driving to St. Louis for the past two week-ends and we are kind of tired of all the driving. I will have to drive up there on Monday. Cannot wait to see Aliza though. I missed her this week.
Your idea of giving the money for research for cancer or something like that would be a better way to spend the money that they are spending on those viagra commercials is a good idea. You are right about the old men and the young women.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night
ColleenHi Barbara,
What a mean thing for Jerry’s brother to do. He must be really desperate for money. Then to tell them that his mom is crazy. Did he not know that they would figure that one out when they got there? They could also see that Jerry was being good to his mom and doing the things that she needed to be done. That was just mean. You sure did get the best man out of that group.
My daughter Danyielle had those pictures taken when she was pregnant with her son. She did not have it done with the second child. They are not bad it just shows their tummies a lot and it is hard to get use to. I like the tops that we wore and worry that the tight tops will squeeze the baby. That is not right though because all the babies seem to be coming out okay. You will have to let me know what you think when you see them.
It seems like everything starts going south as we get older. We had gone to the zoo and some woman older then we are was running around with out a bra and my daughter looked at me and said mom if you do that we will not go anywhere with you. lol I do not think that I could let mine flap in the wind. I want a bra to at least make it look like I have some. That woman was a brave person and is a free spirit. God Love her she should do what she wants.
I am thinking that the TSV for May is going to be a pair of shorts. Not sure though. She just made a comment that made me think that it would be shorts. That will let my knees show and I have elephant legs so do not want that. I will stick with the longer capris and things like that that will cover my knees. They do not put that stuff in the Insider Magazine anymore. I guess we give out all the information to other quacker and they do not like that. We are just nice people and like to share.lol
I have tried a lot of their different food on QVC. They have some good stuff. I tried those sausages that Frankie Avalon sells and they are really good. There is a lot that I have tried. To many for me to list on here. We tried the hamburgers from Kansas City Steaks and did not like them They shrank up to almost nothing. It was really bad. So do not buy anything from them now. Most of the other things that I have tried has been good. I do not like the chocolate in the Germack. It has a funny taste and none of the kids liked it. So it all has to do with what we like and dislike. I know that they sell a lot of the Kansas City Steak items so a lot of people like them.
I have the same problem that you have. If I could get into the tub with the claws it would be a long time before I could get back out. Ron would have to get a crane and lift me out.lol
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
I agree with you. If the people will give me a good price and get the job done quickly and it looks good I am happy. I do not have to talk to them or visit with them at all. If they are doing a good job my offer them a cup of coffee or a soda or water to drink. It depends on the weather. I hope that it all works out and your kitchen looks wonderful.
That was nice that Heather came over and ate and helped clean up. It was all good until she broke your pumpkin dish. That was good that you could get it replaced. It is spring so maybe they do not sell that many this time of year. It is probably different in the fall.They are having a lock and lock tsv. I am thinking of buying them. I need storage dishes. If the girls take food home with them they always forget to bring the dish back. So I am keeping the new ones and giving the old ones to the girls if they take food home. The only one that is good about bringing anything back is my oldest daughter. She does not want any extra dishes in her kitchen.
It is so cold here that I am wearing winter pjs again. Ron got one of the heaters out and we have been using it during the day to warm the house up. I also fixed some sweet potatoes in the oven. So we kept the house warm like that for awhile. It does not keep the whole house warm but the room that we use the most. It is such a pain to turn the furnace on again and then turn it off. We have to light the pilot light on the furnace and it is hard to get to. So we will just keep wearing our winter clothes and using a lot of blankets. Who would think that it would be this cold in the spring.
It will be nice if both of the girls come with the kids. JJ will be glad to spend some time with you. It is hard on the kids when they have to go to school and their little brother or sister get to spend time with you and they don’t. When my oldest grands were little they felt that way. They felt that they should get to spend time here if the other on was here.
Enjoy your time with the kids and I will talk to you later.
ColleenHi Adele,
Kaylee does dance to a different drummer. She is funny. She did not tell that guy that made the balloon bunny that it did not look right. She just was really shy and did not say much of anything.
That is funny. You really came up with the right answer for Gary not liking the back drop guy. If he does a good job that is all that matters. I hope that he had the back drops that you wanted. Does the counter guy come tomorrow? It will be nice when you get it all done. Hope they can do it quickly and you are not without a kitchen for awhile.
Carolyn Gracie had breast cancer. That is why she was off the air for so long. I guess it was last summer. I cannot remember if she had just one removed or both removed. I think that she dresses really nice and the woman that made the comment should keep her comments to herself. I do not understand why people treat each other that way. It is a good site to stay away from. Life is too short to make fun of or tell other people how they should dress or how they should look. Take care of your self and let other people alone.
I wrote my view on all the undergarments we use to wear on my post to Gail. She really did bring back a lot of memories. It had to be a man that invented all the girdles that we wore and all that other stuff. A woman would not come up with that kind of stuff and make every other woman uncomfortable. Can you imagine wearing a corset? Those things must have been very tight and uncomfortable. Ladies fainted from wearing them. They could not get their breath. Glad that we did not have to wear those things.
I am already looking for some toys for Aliza. She is getting bored with her other toys. I will take some to her when I watch her next Monday. She needs something to play with.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Gail,
That is so weird that people are not taking the jobs when they are to be found. I cannot understand that. Hopefully Greg will be able to find some people soon. I did not know that the airport was having a hard time getting help. I can remember that was the place all of the young kids wanted to work. When we graduated from high school they went there first to get a job. It seemed to be glamorous. Guess all of that has changed.
We are holding out on turning the heat on. We have been wearing winter clothes and covering up with blankets. Ron will be able to hold out longer then I will. This rain makes it even worse. It is so damp and cold. That is what is making it worse here.
I can remember the days when we wore all that stuff to look better. The pads also. Those stupid belts to hold them on.I can remember being embarrassed having to go to the store and buying pads. My mom use to order them from a catalog so we just got them delivered and never had to go to the store anymore. There were 4 girls at our house so it must have gotten expensive to keep buying all that stuff. Those girdles were so uncomfortable and we had to wear them or not look right. You are right though we were all young and skinny and did not really need them. I sure was glad when they stop wearing that junk. I am so glad to hear other people say that about those commercials for Viagra. I cannot when they are saying about being in the mood and having to stop to take a pill or something to that effect and they are showing people sitting in the movie theater. Does that mean that they are going to do it right there in the seats? They go too far with that stuff. Those young girls that are talking about it and they are by themselves does not make sense either. I guess that I am getting too old to understand what this is all about. Do not really want to hear about it either. Poor people having such a hard time.lol
Ron fixed hamburgers for dinner today. They were really good. He put sauerkraut and cheese on them I skipped the sauerkraut and just had the melted cheese. They were really good and filling. He can cook when he wants to.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
It is better to discuss cost without the men in the room. They seem to go a little crazy when they hear prices. Ron would be saying I can do it cheaper then that. He does not mention that he will never get it done. So he really aggravates me.
That is funny about the woman in the dress with all the underwear trying to slim her down. She must have been really uncomfortable that night. You tried to stop her from doing it she just would not listen. People are just so funny. You were meant to be a social worker. You are good listening to peoples problems and coming up with solutions. It is funny that poor woman did not listen.
The counter top sounds really nice. I hope that you get it all done and Gary does not know about all of it. Not till it is over with. He will take it better after it is done. He will see how nice it is and then he will not be as objective about the price. Men just do not understand that we need new things in the house. We do not want that in the house if it is getting to look old and the sink being chipped. Men do not pay that much attention.
Your turkey with dressing sounded really good. We had pizza at the party and salad. They had a lot of different food there but we settled for that. The kids had a really good time. It was nice the dinning area was separate from the game room. So there was not all the noise. Some guy came and made a balloon animal for Kaylee. He made a rabbit and she told me it looked like a deer in a raft. It was funny. No matter how we tried to tell her it looked like a rabbit she would say no it looks like a deer.
You will have to read what I wrote to Gail about Aliza. It gets boring in I talk about one of the kids all the time. So wrote about Aliza in Gail’s and Kaylee in yours.
Well that is about all from here. Oh that post about Carolyn was on FB. Dianne was the first to write about it.
ColleenHi Gail,
Piper is just so cute. That is funny that she now bows when she is done performing. She is getting to be a regular actress at 3. I think that is how old she is. It will be fun to hear some of the songs that she was singing. One thing about her she is not shy. How is Kendall doing? Hope that she is doing fine. What is Lachlan up to. I he tired of being the only boy in the family? He is surrounded by girls.lol
Aliza does have me wrapped around her finger. She does have a rocking in her room. We did read a book and she liked it for about two seconds and then she was done. Today when we saw her and we were getting ready to leave I was talking to her and told her I loved her and she got a really big smile on her face. My hear just melted then.
This is awfully late for you to have snow. This is the craziest weather. It is cold here but no snow. I sure hope that we do not get any. You can blame all of this on Ron. He kept saying that there would be snow late this year. So we will blame him for saying that he jinxed the weather. lol I blame him for everything. He just laughs.
Enjoy your time off from babysitting. I think that Amanda is going to babysit every other week so I am not having to drive up there all the time. That will be nice. I will miss Aliza though.
I agree with Adele. Greg should put some ice on his back. It really does help and the Motrin will help to take away the pain. The back doc. that I got to swears by using ice for pain. He says that it lessons it and it has worked for me.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good night.
ColleenHi Sue,
I cannot believe that someone had the nerve to say that to Carolyn after all the problems that she has had. She is such a nice person and does not deserve that. It is a shame that they do not monitor those things and kick those people off the site. That was really unkind.
The cold weather must be hitting every state. It is cold here also. This is such odd weather for here in May. We have our veggie garden planted already and are hoping that it does not kill our plants. That would be a mess. We would have to start all over again. The plants are really high this year so do not want to have to buy a bunch of plants it is too late for seeds.
Have a good night.
ColleenHi Adele,
That is a good deal on the financing charge. I love the 0 finance. I hope that you find what you want and can get it all done. It will brighten the kitchen up. We need to do more then just the bathroom floor. We need to get new rugs and change a few things around. I am not to eager to buy the stuff though it will not fit under the bed. That is where the tile if for the bathroom.lol
Do you have any big plans for the week-end. We are going to a birthday party for Ethan.It will be okay. They are having it at a pizza place that has a game room. So it will be noisy in the game room. They have a separate room for the games then where you eat. Hope that it makes a difference. At least we will get to see all the grand kids. That makes it worth going.
The storms are over with until Friday. It is going to rain Mon. and Tues. it will just be rain though. It is going to be too cold for bad storms. Now Friday we will have to see. It is supposed to warm up then. That is when we get the storms. I cannot believe how cold it is here. It is going to get down to 39 degrees tonight. That is really cold for this time of year. Hope it does not hurt our garden.
Well that is about all from here. Have a good Sunday.
