My Birthday

Good morning. Well another year older. Eeek. Well I have been saying I am 48 for months now so what's the difference? Now I am really 48 so it does not feel so bad.
Hey, here is something I did not mention in past posts that I probably should say something about. Joe and Sarah are getting married! I am actually happy they are doing it BUT they are doing it in Vegas on December 13th. That is alittle close but I have no say in it. I would really prefer they waited til spring so we could have a nice little wedding here but like I said, I have no say in it. They are getting excited about it so that is all that matters. So I will have a new daughter soon. They promise not to have a baby for a few years.....she still needs to graduate and he needs to figure out what the heck he wants to do with his life.
Chris and I are going out to dinner tonight. I still have my free birthday dinner coming to me from THE KEG.
I had the weirdest dreams this morning. I woke up around 4am and could not fall back to sleep so I turned on the light to read....it only takes about 10 minutes for me to always fall back to sleep when I read. I was dreaming Chris was up early in the kitchen and when I went out into the living room he had a table set up and was making breakfast and my brother Gerry was there and I looked out my front door and all my brothers and sister were there. Pris had curlers in her hair....Cyndy was there and she was super skinny which pissed me off cause I am at a heavy weight. Jeff,Greg, Kathy(which is funny since her and Greg have not been married in so long, I guess she is still my sister) and Nathan and even Jason from Iraq. Then I started another dream. I was in the bedroom again and I got up and looked back into the room and everything was different. I thought "I must be dreaming where did this lamp come from" I even touched it and could feel it. In the middle of the room was a table with toys on it. They were toys from my childhood. I got so excited. I thought this is great I want to see this stuff and I sat down to go thru it. Chris came in and I said to him "Do you see this stuff" and he did but it started to fade away and I was so disappointed cause I did not finish looking at it.
Well that is all for now.

I can't believe it's Tuesday night already

Wow, my weekend is pretty much over, shit.
I am trying to remember what I did yesterday........apparently not much cause I can't think! Chris and I went to home Depot and got some plants. Our tomato plant is putting out new fruit. We also were finally able to get some green peppers off the pepper plant. They were tasty too.
I did go to the monthly book club meeting last night with Nancy last night. We were reading "The Dogs of Babel" which was a book I suggested. I read it a few years ago and really liked it. I get alittle nervous when I suggest a book cause you never know if anyone else will like it. Well I am glad to say everyone really liked it. Next month we are reading Water For Elephants.....one I also read already but I am glad they are reading it cause it really is a great book. Plus now maybe I will finish Madame Bovary. I am not loving it but will read it, we are going to review that in December. I don't do will reading two books at once. When I started Madam Bovary I was enjoying it but I put it down to read "The Nazi Officers Wife" which was last months book. That was a great read. But ever since I am having a hard time reading MB.
Rich and Kirk are supposed to come over tonight for drinks and appetizers. Chris is making something. We are trying to make up for the fact that Rich could not find us last week when we were meeting at BJ's Brewery. I am still not convinced he came in the restaurant to look....we were sitting right there. I think he was feeling crappy and just looked thru the window or something and then left. Anyway, my house is clean, my back yard looks good. Now I just have to put on something more then these pj's I am wearing right now.
I did go to work for 2 hours today to do a pedi on one of my favorite customers. She is leaving town and I did not want her going somewhere else. She also gave me a birthday present of a wonderful bottle of Italian wine she got this summer in Italy. I am looking for someone to share it with that appreciates wine as much as me. I am thinking Nancy and Tamarah......actually Betty would enjoy it too. Maybe I will just drink it myself.
Well I have to get changed, later

Hello it's me!

Yesterday I got up early did some laundry and the went and met my friend Lori at The Farm on Baseline. We had a very nice time and it was nice going early cause it was beautiful out. It's a very nice setting. The sandwiches are alittle overpriced but it is all organic.
When I got home Chris was cleaning so I started in to. It is always nice to have a clean house.
Last night we met some friends at the Yard Houe. My friend Joe was in town for a seminar so I wanted to see him. I used to work with him and he is such a nice man. He and Layne (I work with her) are good friends and he is staying with her for a few days. He just married his partner a few weeks ago and they bought a house in San Fransisco. How great is that?
This morning I got up really early and watched some of the shows I have saved on my DVR. Chris just got up and we went over to Einstein Bagels for breakfast. I had Lox and cream cheese with onions and capers......my breath stinks but my tummy is happy. I want to go on a bike ride but it is alittle too warm right now besides Chris' back still hurts. I suppose I could go on a leisurely ride by myself.
Tonight is book club so It is nice I will be doing something interesting this evening. I might even go tothe movies soon. Of course Chris does not want to do that either......sometimes he is boring.

Friday

Just a quick note I want to go to the gym.

Not much to say really. I had a good day at work yesterday but will be glad when my week is over. I will be there til 7pm tonight so no getting home early like last night.

Yeah......I really got nothing to say!

another damned day!

Well it's Thursday! Yesterday work was pretty good. I had a busy day up til about 5:30 which is good cause it's always nice to get to leave early.
I babysat last night. I had not seen the kids in awhile so I was glad to go over there. After they went to bed I sat out on the patio for a bit and drank some tea. It is a wonderful view of Paradise Valley. Why is it? when I do stuff like that, sit outside, I wish I could have a cigarette? Well I know why, it's because I would sit outside at night and smoke and I enjoyed it OH so much. Will I ever get over that? I am going on 5 years without even one puff. I don't really crave them....although right now, one sounds really good.
Anyway, got home around 11pm. I did not go to the gym but I did go in yesterday. I am planning on going tomorrow and Saturday so today I am enjoying having all the windows open and coffee. It's another busy day.
This weekend I am babysitting Saturday too. Sheila has family in town so the adults are all going out to dinner. I will have Sydney and Brenden plus three of there cousins all under the age of 10. I figured they will all get to entertain themselves and it will be no big deal. I think they will pay me more which makes me very happy.
Well I am off for the showers.

Wednesday morning

I am on my way out the door but wanted to type something since I have not blogged for a few days.
Monday night Chris and I went to dinner with Kirk and Rich...although Rich could not find us so we never got to see him. They are the guys we are going to Costa Rica with. I just love Kirk. We went over to BJ's Brewery. It was good. I have a few Vodka tonics and promptly went to bed as soon as I got home.
Chris and I also went on a long bike ride on monday. It was mostly really nice but I got warm a few times. It's nice on the bike cause you do get a nice breeze usually...unless you are going up hill. We even went on some easy mountain trails. I of course fell once but very slowly so I did not get hurt, it just scared me.
Yesterday I had to go to work for a meeting. Our Spa Director got fired. I am sad cause he is a very nice man but I think it was the right decision. Anyway, they named Dee the new director. She was the Salon manager and we love her. I am thinking she is going to be way stressed out in this new job.
After going to the meeting I went over to my Friend Judy's house. She needed to go to Walmart and does not have a car. I have not seen her in ages so it was nice to see her. She is having a very rough time right now and I am glad I could help her.

Well that is all for now. I am actually going into work out. yay!

Monday morning

I have been having a very nice weekend. Yesterday Betty and I went to the movies. We saw Body of Lies. It was not the best movie I have ever seen. DiCaprio was really good but it was such a complicated plot it was hard to follow....all those Middle Eastern names! We went over to Sportsmans afterward for some wine and cheese. I got home around 6pm and was so full from cheese we did not do dinner. He and I played cards all night...I kicked his ass.
I was pretty busy at work last week which is so good. I have not personally seen the slow down due to the economy in my own business but the spa has been hurting. I guess women will continue to get there hair and nails done as long as they can. A women told me that she knew someone who owned a hair salon during the depression in the 30's and she it never hurt her business. So that is good to hear for me.
Well I am up in order to go to spin class. I sure wish the spa was closer. It's not THAT far away but it is far enough not to want to drive over there. And going to Spin is not "over the top" fun so it's even harder to get motivated. I have to go I ate alot of popcorn yesterday.

thursday

I got up so early this morning. Chris left at 4:30 and I have not been able to go back to sleep so I just got up. I have been going ot bed so late. I just lay in there and watch tv til 11:30 or so and then I still get up around 6.....this morning 4:30. I am not getting enough sleep!!!!

I saw a cute little movie Tuesday "GhostTown" with Greg Kinear and Ricky Garvis. Such a cute little movie. It has been out for awhile so should be going to video soon. Rent it when it comes out or put in on you netflix list.

Well, I have nothing to say about work. I have not been doing a whole lot on my off hours because I am trying not to spend money. So I have nothing left to talk about. I have not even been reading my book so I can't even comment on that. I have nothing deep to talk about, no secret thoughts, no funny dreams or stories. So I guess I will go.

my new blog

I just wanted to try this new blog site and see if it's easy to add posts. I don't want to bother typing a bunch of stuff and find I can save it and lose everything. That would suck.....not that I have done a whole hell of a lot this last week.
