Birthdays with the family is the best!

You are more than welcome to my sprouts!



Happens more than you'd think!

Yay for the sprouts! Thanks...!

And yes, I've heard more than one priest throw out a few choice words over the years. Never in church, but, at a wedding reception, anniversary party, etc.

Had to take my car to the dealership because the stupid check engine light went on. Anyway, there was a car sitting there, a 2016 model, new, and when I saw the price tag , boy was I tempted. Except it's an SUV, and I really don't want another SUV, and it's white, which I really don't want. But oh, how tempted I was when I saw the price tag.

Think 40 mpg

Happy Easter Monday everyone! Today is my last day at Disneyland, flying out this afternoon. It's been fun but I'm tired. Good thing I can rest at work tomorrow. That's the fun of having a student teacher! Although I will still be teaching the first two class periods.

Safe travels

My doctor visit went well. I usually get my cholesterol test results back in about a week. My blood pressure was good. Better than my visit about a month ago, when I had a very sore leg from shoveling the late snow that we had here in Chicago. Doctor said, that since I was in pain, it wasn't unusual that my blood pressure was elevated. Sometime I have to pinch myself to believe that I am going on 70 soon. I didn't mind being 50, 60 didn't make me too happy, but 70 has me uneasy. I did have a Shingles shot today, and a pneumonia shot is scheduled for a month from now.

I know! It would be nice. Might go give it another look when I go pick up my car. Buick encore. Interior leather, powered seats (which is essential for me, being so short)...and the asking price was ridiculously low.

My mom said to me today, "Oh, well, be smart about a new car. Save your money, and in a few years..." Um, years Mom? It's funny she thinks this car, which has 140,000 miles on it and has something wrong every other month, will last years. Uh huh. I've already gotten a GM card so that I can start charging to it and apply the cash back towards a new car when I'm ready.

There was a guy at the firm years ago that used to doze off during work hours. He was warned a few times, and then they let him go.
It was probably no medical problem either, because he was a bit of a partier. The firm actually started to give him some contract work outside the office at one point again as a kind gesture, because he was good at what he did, but, it didn't last very long, because he was falling way behind on deadlines.
Luckily, we have an hour for lunch, and can nap all we want, then...!

I would opt for the food, no naps, when food is around!

It was a wondrous day today. Low 80's-April! I bought a couple of Pansy flats and a few other lettuce, cabbagie things. Most of the planters in yard planted. Got about half the way through the front of the property and an old friend visiting her DD drove past my house-we seem never to get together....she started picking up all my gardening stuff and tossing them out of view behind my picket fence and said get in the car we are going out tonite.

Such fun, good wine, good food and lots of catching up. I never eat out doors and we did. No bugs, no birds, warm temps. Nothing like being unexpectedly kidnapped from your front lawn.

Great way to spend your time, outside!

 

[betty rose]

You take the one on the right, and I'll take the one on the left...!!!

[betty rose]

note the UP TO.
Depends on severity and how much DELTA needs THOSE seats.
If a plane can cause a cascade of delays and lose flights costing them more than 10,000, they will surely take that offer.. AND DONT CALL ME SHIRLEY.

ha, ha....I'll bet no one ever gets that! Call me cynical.
