What Did You Do Today?

[DianaB]

How are you going to KC? Do you take I-35 from OKC to KC? If so then I could meet you in Wichita sometime for......like supper.......My Tahoe has to go into the shop on Friday morning but I could probably borrow Dae Lynn's car. Or I could drive up to KC on Saturday or something. I'll have to make sure that I don't have anything else going on then. Let me know what's going on!! Either way it's about the same drive for me. KC's a little bit further but not much!! Sounds like fun!!!!

[gja1000]

I don't know how we are going to KC from OKC?? We will be with Gary's sister so I'm not sure they would want to stop along the way. The charity event is Saturday, and we are supposed to decorate for it and get things ready during the day Sat. I'm sorry to say I don't have a clue what time or where we will be on Saturday . I'm so clueless!!! I may find out on Friday and I could let you know, but since my whereabouts are so sketchy, it might be hard to plan anything definite. I would love to see you but I'm not sure how to make it work.

[Lindsey]

Oh I hope you guys can meet in person and share pictures with us!!!

I made Scott buy a lottery ticket today.

Two weeks ago, we went to a comedy show. I have been to many, MANY of those comedy shows at the same comedy club. I have filled out every comment card and have never won. That was Scott's first show, he filled out a comment card, and won 4 free tickets to the show we went to last weekend.

I have been a "VIP" member of a local radio station for oh about 7 years. I enter contests constantly. Last week I decided I should sent a request to Scott so we'd have double the chance of winning. He entered two contests that day, and today he got a call that he won. So on Friday, we are going to the pre-grand opening of a new pub downtown - it's invite-only. The actual grand opening is at 8 pm, but the radio station is hosting a pre-party from 5-8. Two of the big names from our CFL football team will be there, so my friends are super jealous that I get to meet them! We also get free appetizers and two free drinks each.

Soooo yeah Scott bought a lottery ticket on our way home today lol. Fingers crossed!

[DianaB]

Good Luck, Lindsey!!!

Gayle, when you get an idea of what's going on you can call me and we'll see what we can work out. If I can find someone to teach my Sunday School class on Sunday then I can drive up on Sunday. I'll pm you my phone number just in case you don't have it. Hopefully we'll get something worked out!!!

Well we made it to Ok City, but we are not going on to Kansas City. Gary's asthma is just too bad for us to go on to KC. We are worried about being so far from home if he gets in trouble. We are going to spend the weekend in OKC to visit Gary's sons and grandsons, if he does OK today, if not, we'll just head back home. I'm sorry we won't get to meet this weekend ,Diana. We'll be back to KC I'm sure, and we'll make better and earlier plans.

[DianaB]

I was thinking that with all you had going on that this might be better if we waited until next time. So sorry to hear that Gary's not doing well with his breathing. We'll definitely make plans for another time!!!

Karlie had a kindergarten program last night. They sang songs and did little dances!! It was so cute!! Dae Lynn stood at the side to take videos so Karlie saw me and I saw her wave to me!! You can always see their face light up when they've spotted the person who is there to watch them. I always felt that for that reason it was important to always be at the kids' programs or what ever they had going on!!

Of course.....Karlie had to do things that none of the other kids were doing!! At one point she completely ducked behind the people in front of her......and later she stood on some bar that made her a head taller than those that were on her row. Everyone else stood pretty good!!! I will say that she did sing out well......while the others mumbled around.....and she re-sang the songs to us on the way home!!! Cute!!

Glen's headed to a foot doctor this morning. His heel still causes him problems and he has problems walking. I think that he's just being impatient but he wants to know for sure. He did have problems with his heel once and the doctor made a pad to go in his shoes so maybe that's flared up again with his broken heel. I hope he gets some relief because I get tired of him complaining!! Then he has an eye appointment later today......this is definitely Glen's health check day!! I think that soon he's going to schedule an appointment for a hearing aid. He needs one so badly.

Well, the Tahoe's in the shop!! We had new tires put on recently and they must have broken a tire monitor because we've had a message showing up.....Glen's tried to reset it but it won't reset......also something with my 4-wheel drive is wrong and we're getting a message on that as well. Glen talke to the repairman and it may just be the buttons for the 4-wheel drive which he said will be fairly easy to fix. So....I'm without a vehicle.....unless I really have to have something then I'll borrow Amy or Dae Lynn's cars. I hope it's back by Monday!!!

We've been potty training Dean. Not real seriously but he's really caught on and goes almost everytime you take him.....then he gets a small piece of candy for going. This morning I was at the other end of the house when I heard the toilet flush!!! Then Dean came running in......Naked.......saying "Poppy....Poppy.....Tandy.....Tandy!!" That's the first time that he's taken himself!!! He's turned into a candy monster lately so I'd guess the candy bribery is working!!! He'll be two on March 5!!!

[gja1000]

Diana, I know we can get together another time. We are having a good time with Garys kids. His breathing is OK but not good. We are going to stay tonight but probably go home tomorrow.

[Blueyes]

Gayle, sorry Gary is feeling bad! The weather is so crummy..warm and humid one day and rainy and cool the next. It's hard when you really want to go do something but you have to come home because you just don't feel like it. *sigh*

Mike had a colonoscopy today and all was well Now he needs a cardiac check up, and we'll have all his bases covered before we leave for Paris. He is supposed to get a knee replacement when we get back. I am going next Friday for an upper and lower GI. Mike's doc reminded me today that I should have had one at 50...I'm 54. I hate the first of the year trying to reach our deductible on doc visits and meds. Mike's medicine is sooo expensive, but I'm thankful for the crummy insurance that we do have

[DianaB]

Dae Lynn has gone in to visit Damon at the jail so I have the kids. Being on the computer while watching the kids just doesn't jive so I'm going to have to get off. The kids have been in the office while Glen's been in there and so he's growling and I need to run interference!!! I hate mornings like this!!!

Oh....I got my Tahoe back last night!! Yay!! It still says that the tire monitor needs to be fixed so it will probably need to go back.

Amy's family came over last night and Jaci and Nate and we all ate pizza and played with the Wii. The dance things are really kinda' fun!! Then Jaci, Nate, Glen, and I played Spades. Nate loves to play cards and is always bugging Jaci to call us to play!! We love playing too! Anyway, Glen and I were partners last night and we lost.....TWICE!!! Not too good but it was a lot of fun and laughing!!! They are such a fun couple to be around!!!

[Janet]

Sorry your morning hasn't been exactly the greatest Diana. How long is Dae Lynn gone for when she goes to visit Damon? Hopefully not too long and you can salvage the rest of your Saturday.

I'm so glad your family gets along so well and enjoy being together. You make it sound so wonderful!

[judy]

I hope Gary is feeling better, Gayle. Betsi...Paris!!! It is so beautiful, and you get to see the children. I can't believe poor Mike needs a knee replacement on tip of everything else!

Diana, you are so busy with the kids! How about a quick video of Dean? He sounds so adorable!! I'm glad you got your car back.

Janet, how are you feeling? How are the treatments working? Has the doctor said anything new? I am praying.

I have been running around. The weather has been so warm that I can get out, which is not normal up here in the winter. I was talking to somebody and we both were laughing because all of the chores we stored up for winter are not getting done! I am not cleaning out closets when I am not snowed in in February! I am getting things done, but slowly. Truth is, if I never do them, life will go on! I just hate clutter.

I love the gym; should go today! I think I am going to Jessie's to visit, and then have a new pottery workshop tonight. I may skip Jessie's and do some glazing of some pieces I already finished. I can bring them to put in the kiln. I am also learning to make wire wrapped jewelry. It is so easy! I don't know if I a going to really get involved in this though. Unless I can sell them, how many earrings do I need? It costs money for the beads and the wire. I also have to write something for Tuesday, for my writing workshop. You would think I was an artist! I enjoy doing all of these things, but have no plans to make a living from any of it.

I am on 2 dating sites, and have gotten a lot of emails, flirts, winks, and so on. Jessie took some really nice pix of me. Nobody has peaked my interest yet, but I think this may take some time until Mr. Right comes along.

Brandon (my 10 year old grandson) is being a real pain in the neck, although we are not sure what, if anything is wrong with him. Jessie is going nuts from him! He has internal hives, and had one epiode where his throat began to close up. They have an epipen now. He has terrible stomach aches all of the time recently, won't go to school, and won't sleep without Jessie. She is ready to pull her hair out! She has taken him for all kinds of tests. She is really good about that. Until she knows if there is anything wrong physically, she is afraid to really put her foot down and put an end to this behavior. She has made arrangements with his teacher for him to go to school only in the mornings, when the academics are done. I hope he goes and stays all day soon. We will just have to wait for all of the test results to come back.

[Janet]

You are one busy lady Judy!!! My goodness you're making me tired and I haven't done a thing all day...lol. When you get some jewelry made I would sure love to see some. I've got more than I know what to do with since I have all of Mom's besides mine, but I love looking at jewelry.

That was nice that Jessie took some good pictures for the dating sites. I know how you would like to share things with a partner so I do hope someone wonderful comes along.

It sounds like Brandon feels just horrible. The Drs don't have any idea what's going on yet? That poor guy, he's probably being a pain in the neck because he feels so bad. I hope they get him feeling better quickly.

Really haven't done anything today except a couple loads of laundry. Mostly sat in the recliner trying to sync my iPad to computer. I have my pictures all in nice folders on the computer, but they came on the iPad in a mess. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth it.

[DianaB]

Judy, you are so busy with stuff that sounds so fun!!

Poor Brandon.....I hope they find out what is causing his problems. My granddaughter, Kera, had been having trouble with her stomach and the dr. thought that it was an ulcer......well, a c/t scan was done the other day and they found out that her problem can be solved by using a stool softner!!! Amy said that she has been feeling sooo much better!! I hope that Brandon's problem is that easy to fix!!

Good luck on your dating sites!!! It sounds like an interesting way to meet men but a little scary too. Please be careful!!

Dae Lynn didn't have to go to work today so she's been home and taking care of sick kids. Karlie's been sick all weekend with a fever. She perked up last night and we thought that she was over it but it came back and now Dean's got it too. Poor little guy.....he just lays around sleeping. He'll perk up after he's had some Tylenol but not for long. Dae Lynn called the dr.'s office and found out that this is lasting 5 to 6 days!! That tells me what I'm going to be doing this week!!

[judy]

Oh my! Not a good week for you, Diana!

I am busy! I really have been very lazy since I retired in 2007. I don't know what happened, but I like going out, being active, and meeting new people lately. Well, whatever the reason, I sure am both surprised and having fun!

The online dating thing is nice, but you are right Diana. It can be a bit scary. I have had a couple of people contact me who sounded a little off to me. Some of my deal breakers are if they are legally separated, not divorced yet, live too far away to meet in person (I'm not sitting here chatting with a stranger about who knows what!), if they have never been married, look rough and tough, and, if I don't think they are at all cute.

[DianaB]

Sounds like some pretty good guidelines, Judy. You can't be too careful. There are so many crackpots out there!!

Well, Karlie is better but she can't go to school for 24 hours after running a fever so she's home and driving me crazy!!! Dean's still not well but is much better than yesterday. With Karlie being more active Dean's following suit so he's not just laying around today.....but is driving Grandma crazy too!! I'm glad that they're better. Yesterday they were both so sick and Dean finally got sick to his stomach but at least it wasn't something that we dealt a lot with. I just hope that this doesn't spread to adults too!! I don't care to have it!!

......Had to take a break because Dean came and crawled up on my lap. His temp is up to 102.7 so I gave him some Tylenol. Poor little guy!! And Karlie just took her temp and hers is back up to 100. I may have her again tomorrow. Guess I better get off of here because I have a little guy that needs held!!
