Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-whoops...cross-post. I don't think I made myself clear. SORRY! I did not see Jerry Springer...I was just making the reference to his show as far as the behavior of my nephew's ex and my ex-SIL...that's all.

I do love shopping but during the holidays..I only go during the week right when the mall opens. Online shopping has worked for me, too. So glad you enjoyed Romeo and Juliet.

Liz-sounds like you have been busy since you got back. Prayers said for hubs' doc's appt. today.

Hi all.
Rusty - wow! I'm glad that you were able to find some good out of the weekend. Sounds like so much drama
I've had to be at events with my ex SIL. She has sharp claws too.

I can't believe people,especially family act that way(( hugs)) Bird,everything looks easy on YouTube I swear,I follow a lot of cake decorating posts on Instagram and hair design too and they make it look SO simple,yet when I try its a disaster,,day 2 of feeling like crap,trying to use some local honey to kill off the germs or whatever is in me,Nora,I get it's just thoughts and can be squished fast,,most of the time that works for me but some days I get sooooo caught up in the thought it seems to take over my whole body and makes me uneasy,,that's why this is a "dis-ease" to me not a disease,Kell still has til July so thats good,her mofo landlord is trying to ask $200,000 for her house,,I doubt he'll get it,nobody likes this area of town anymore,plus it's an older house the only thing that's been redone is the floors,hello to Glassy and Liz,I never thought your hubs was overweight?

Hi Pauly. I sure hope you feel better. Are you working today?

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

Liz - let us know how hubby's appointment goes.

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

How you feeling Pauly?
Did you hear there is another recall on romaine.

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

[MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION], wow, such drama. It's really sad, I understand the hurt and pain but have some pride in yourself and take the high rode. I'm sorry you had to deal with the digs about drinking so long ago. Really what's the point, other than to inflict pain and honestly it makes them look bad for still bringing it up years later. I'm glad you made the best of it and it ended well.
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION], I'm with Rusty, you do so much creative stuff. Have fun decorating. It's not easy watching our kids grow up. I did my fair share of crying too. Right now even though my nest is empty I am happy because they are all happy and doing well. The ultimate gift as a mom!
[MENTION=5628]Nora[/MENTION], how was work today? Any better. Do you have time off this week for thanksgiving.
[MENTION=6149]Paul[/MENTION]y, I'm going to have to check out your Pinterest boards. I found a picture in a magazine that I want to try on my hair, now that it's longer.

@ Glassie, how goes it by you? How is HRH?

Another busy day. I have such a feeling of accomplishment. I did a lot, but I enjoyed checking things off my list. I went to Marks former gf house tonight to drop off some things for Mark. She is going to visit him on Monday for a week! Um, really? He doesn't tell us much but that she's coming and they are going to Ireland together. He claims they aren't back together. Hmmm. Whatever, she's a lovely girl .

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

Liz - It is such a feeling of accomplishment to get things completed. Actually, I am hoping to take care of some stuff this weekend that I have been putting off for way too long.
It's nice that Mark's 'friend' is going to go visit him. Guess we'll see if it turns into more than friends again.
Thanks for asking about work. It's the same. I am trying to keep my attitude better.

Pauly - I hope that you are feeling so much better now.

Bird - do they have another play already in rehearsals or is this the last one for awhile. Does your daughter want to get into theater behind the scenes work as a career?

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

Good Morning, Dear Friends,

Day 3 of being at home and finally feel like being a productive worker bee like [MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION] and get ready for the holidays. I have fully recovered from my trip and yesterday, I called all my closest friends to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. They all asked about the weekend and I was so touched by their support and kindness. I am truly grateful for my "real" friends and my friends here as well.:love:
[MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION], thank you for your kind words..

It's really sad, I understand the hurt and pain but have some pride in yourself and take the high rode. I'm sorry you had to deal with the digs about drinking so long ago. Really what's the point, other than to inflict pain

You are so right. No one brought up my drinking all weekend...I will have to say that the nephew I was with this weekend has NEVER brought up my drinking. Sometimes my brother's daughter and my nephew's wife will make statements like, "Rusty and her wine..." It really makes me feel badly, but if it happens again, I am just going to tell them..."it was a long time ago and I have made amends, so drop it!!!!" Kind of interesting about Mark's former gf visiting him...keep us posted, please ;-) :-)

Pauly-are you feeling any better?
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-I envy you doing so many cultural things...it sounds like you have a well-rounded life.

[MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION]-how is your Mom doing? So sorry about work....been there and done that. I am feeling much better, thanks! :love: This break has been good for me.

OK, lovelies, I do have some paperwork to do and then my self care today will be good, hard, exercise and writing thank-you notes. What is everyone else doing for self-care? Please share!

Thanks again for being here!

[NoraC]

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

Oh Pauly. I was so hoping you would wake up all better. Enjoy your makeup kit. Fun.

[Lizann]

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

PAuly, maybe tomorrow you'll feel better. The makeup box sounds like fun! I sure don't need any more make up, but I love it.
Rusty how nice your friends are to ask about your weekend. You are lucky to have such good friends.
Nora, how nice to have four days off! I have to go in for a few hours on Saturday morning.
Bird, what are you doing for thanksgiving? Are your daughters coming by you?
I'm about as ready as I can be for tomorrow. Need to be up early so today's post is kinda short. Hope you all have a great AF thanksgiving!

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

Hi all - I'm still improving. I feel like I'm now going 2 steps forward and one back instead of the other way, which is promising. Still waiting for test results.

Oh Rusty - that sounds terrible. Why would anyone feel it's OK to behave so awfully in public! I can't imagine anyone doing that at our family gatherings, it sounds hideous and must be so embarrassing for the poor people hosting the event.

Hope you feel better soon Pauly.

Liz - re: Mark's girlfriend - my younger son had a friend like that who visited him when he moved to London 7 years ago. A few weeks ago I made a speech at their wedding! LOL

Nora - any news about the hospice help for your Mom?

Hi to Bird and anyone else I've missed xxx

[Lizann]

Re: One Step at a Time - November 2018

Glassy, so glad you're improving. I got a little misty with your comment about your son. You just have such a wise kind way about you!
Would love to see a picture of the wedding if you wouldn't mind.
Well my turkey is in the oven already. We eat early here because Erin and Dan have to go to his family by 4. Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
