Shopoholics ODAT Wednesday 6/1/2016

Snicks1 — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 13:50:23 GMT

Good morning all, didn't see a thread so here we go. Hope everyone is doing ok this first day of June, how time is flying by. Think today is @KonaKat's first day of her road trip. I truly hope she has a great time and, has a safe trip and enjoys herself. I also all who are having difficulties are doing ok and know I am thinking of you.

I don't have any big plans for the day, just the usual stuff, then hubby has an appt for an ultrasound later this afternoon, after that we plan to stop to buy some lumber to finish a long running project. That will be about it for me today. Have a great day. Waves to all....

Snicks--Thank you for starting the thread. I just returned from near the city where I took Midnight for boarding while I am gone. I will be leaving at 3pm after picking up the other individual at their work. We will travel part way obviously today. Tomorrow will be the day that we put the miles big time on the car. We hope to get into Branson by 1pm on Friday. We have a show scheduled for that evening

I do hope your DH's ultrasound goes well. I also join you in wish those who are facing challenges some light at the end of the tunnel.

Off to pack the car. I may check in while gone but don't expect a lengthy post as I don't like posting from any brand of tablet.

Jean, have a great time :-)

Hello everyone, and thanks for getting us started Snicks, hope you make good progress on your project. Jean - I'm going to be living vicariously through you on your vacation to Branson. Have a great time! Bernie - I'm so glad that you get to see Rocky sometimes, I think that's exciting!

I'm procrastinating again this morning, lol. I need to go outside and mix some manure into the garden area and get a couple of my tomato plants into the ground. Only a couple are big enough to plant, but I need to get started (I told you previously that my dog destroyed 2 earlier peat pot seed starter kits with baby tomato plants in them, so I'm behind schedule with my tomatoes). The ones I'm planting today are the only ones that survived the original dog massacre.

I bagged up 59 clothing items yesterday and put them in the trunk of my car to be donated. Maybe 10 items got thrown away. Most of the items to donate are too small for me because of weight gain. Clothing that is just a tad too small is now sorted, labeled, and neatly stored away in my storage shed. I hope that someone else can make good use of the clothes I'll donate.

Yesterday was my DD's birthday. I'm angry because I spent over $50 to have Teleflora deliver her flowers. The arrangement I chose was a wicker basket with 3 potted violets in it. It looked pretty and would last longer than cut flowers. They sent me an email stating the flowers had been hand-delivered, but as you can probably guess by now, my DD never got the flowers. She put in a 12 hour day at the animal hospital yesterday, and because she didn't mention her birthday to anyone, none of her friends did anything to make it a special day for her. We Skyped last night and I think she had a long, blechy day. Now I've got to find out what went wrong with Teleflora. Bah Humbug !!!!

Well, I better get outside and start shoveling manure. It's going be be hot outside soon enough. I hope you all have a good day! ~ Charlene

SNICK's, It seems like May just began. Wishing your DH good results with his ultrasound. I get one done in about 3 weeks. A followup from a year ago

Jean, wishing you a wonderful trip. It is a fun place go.

Bird Mama, I am like you in that there is nothing like having the windows open. A/C never feels that good to me.

I am like a tornado again today. DH & I had an appointment at the bank at 9:00. At 9:30 he hadn't shown up. they couldn't find him so at 9:30 do we left & did a bunch of other errands. He had us down for 10:00. I still need to call him back.

Our friend is dying as he is brain dead & they unplugged everything. It is so sad for us right now, but he is a believer so we will see him again some day.

I washed all of the floors & need to make meatballs & spaghetti for dinner. Our niece & her little girl are coming for dinner tonight.

We had heavy rain overnight, but it is sunny & 70's.

Our injured friend over did it at the cookout on Monday, so he is hurting worse than ever.

I am doing well, but still get tired easily.

Hugs to all of you. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer today.

So sorry to hear about your friend Twinny.....prayers for his family.

Charleen I had read your post about the bags of clothes.....at first I thought is said 59 BAGS! I do hope you get the basket tracked down and they deliver it to your DD

I hope your DH turns out ok Snicks and you get the wood to finish your project.

Have a great trip Jean safe travels....we will be looking forward to any posts that you may be able to send.

. NOthing new here it's a beautiful day here with no humidity. I had ordered a pair of sandals from White Mountain on Monday and received them today......they are like the IM wedge ones but lower...bought them in a coral color. I had ordered 2 tops from JJill the other day 30% off and a skirt,not on sale so I am thinking the sandals will go nicely with them.

Have a nice day.....Marijane

@CERB wow, what a blessing you are going to be to someone, donating all those clothes :-)

Bird mama — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 18:13:30 GMT

@twinny70 I am so sorry to read that you are losing another friend. Hopefully his family will take comfort in that there appears to be little suffering.

@Gennygirl Coral is such a pretty color for a sandal :-)

Good Morning/Afternoon and thanks for getting us started snicks. Hope your DH's ultrasound goes okay.

Have a great trip, Jean.

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, twinny. God bless his family and friends. Seems like you have had so many losses lately. I'm glad you are a woman of faith.

That's quite a donation, Charlene. I have not changed sizes in ages (more than 25 years), so I don't usually have that excuse for donating things. But, I did get my donations to the thrift shop today. Now to sort through more "stuff". Very sorry your DD didn't receive her flowers and her birthday wasn't very nice.

Waves to Marijane, Bernie, and all of our posters and readers.

I need to leave soon to meet my friend for lunch. If I have the chance, I will post later.

Hope everyone has a nice day!

Hugs,

Linda

Hi girls!

Well, so much for cutting the grass today. When I went out to feed the dogs it was hot, bright, and sunny, but now I'm hearing thunder and dark clouds are rolling in fast. I can't say I'm disappointed! I do have homework, however. One thing about my current studies - I know now that I really wouldn't want to go back to the cut-throat world of Wall Street. I really enjoyed it while I was there - I suspect the co-workers I had who were like family had a lot to do with it - but that's behind me. I decided I'd rather spend my time doing creative things - writing, baking, crafts, knitting, crochet, sewing...

The Seresto collar is working wonderfully on both Autumn and Whisper; a large size dog collar was big enough that after I trimmed it for Autumn, there was enough left over to make a collar for Whisper. Both Ziggy and Svetlana also have a bad flea probem, so I just ordered another one. Since all sizes are the same price I got another large dog one, which I'll cut in two. The other critters are fine with "regular" flea products; I guess some are more susceptibe than others.

I did take the dogs for a drive last night; it was still 90° at 9 p.m.! I did my return, browsed a bit, got them some ice cream, and we came back home. I know, I know...you all envy my exciting life!

Gosh, Charlene - that's awful that Telefora screwed up! They should resend the flowers and give you a full credit.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Twinny. Oh, I so look forward to seeing some precious friends who have died again one day! One is an eldery woman I met when I lived in Hawaii and we kept in touch; she was like a mom to me, and I could always call her when I had a problem. I really miss her.

LindaL, I'm glad you get to have some "me" time. Enjoy your lunch.

Well, the storm is coming in fast - I'd better get off the laptop.

Hi to everyone - have a blessed day!

Hope you have an enjoyable, safe trip, Jean.

Boy I am sorry for everyone in 90 degree weather, especially if humidity comes with it. It was cool enough for me to put a hoodie on when I went to place the garbage to the curb this morning - mid 50's. I guess I don't mind layering clothes. When it gets too hot, one can only get so nekkid, lol.

Hello friends! It's a very wet day here, and overcast but I'm ok with that because it was 98 yesterday and I think I must be having hot flashes, was way toooooo hot yesterday for me.

I did venture out to Bath and Body. I had bought one of those metal candle holders that is the (what's the word) pedestal shape and anchors around it and put it on the mantle. DH loved it so much he told me I should get another for the other end of the mantle. Say no more! Semi annual sale starts within a week so I didn't buy anything else.

Not much else happening. I bought items for a Sailor who is having issues with not being able to get to the mess hall when it's open because of scheduling - or something. It was a plea for prayers and I offered to send a food package. I thought I would spend more $ but only $20 and another $18 to send it so I stuck a few $$ in the package too and will mail it tomorrow. I've got a small pkg with bubbles and snacks for DD.

I have burger so I'm going to make us burgers for dinner.

KAthleen don't ya just love it when DH says he likes something and you should get more??? I'm out the door in a flash!

Re: Shopoholics ODAT Wednesday 6/1/2016

LindaLatte — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 23:53:59 GMT

Nice that your DH suggested you buy more, Kathleen. I'm sure it is lovely and meaningful..

Coral suede sounds so nice. Unfortunately, not much use for suede out here in the desert.

It is hot here (96 when I brought DH home from the "club", but as they say "dry heat" -- that makes a difference for me since hot and humid can really knock me down.

Will you continue pursuing this degree, Arlene? Maybe you can use it for some other purpose than "Wall Street" sort of financial work. I put quotes around that since I'm not sure what I'm talking about. LOL DH has his MBA, but he was an energy economist. So, I know that the degree does not automatically end up in a financial institution or whatever.

Lunch was very nice, and my friend even treated me which was very kind. She and her husband are leaving soon to spend the summer in California with their older daughter.

I had a call from the hospice volunteer coordinator, and she has arranged for a volunteer to sit with DH this Saturday morning for a couple of hours. I'm very happy, and really hope it works out for all concerned. I may start going to the gym on Saturday rather than Sunday, but I'm not sure.

Sleep well everyone!

Linda
