I was so ready for the weekend and was so disappointed in how it turned out. Now, I don't really have exciting weekends all the time, in fact, rarely. Somehow though this one seemed worse than most.
It started when we were late for the big drawing at the casino...that really ticked me off, not that we would have won or anything. So then we decided we go get a bite to eat. The food took forever at this restaurant and then it tasted like crap. I had a coupon in my purse for $10 off two entrees, so I gave it to the waitress only to find out it had expired!
Anyway, on Sunday we figured that we couldn't expect much so we just walked around the mall and then went to look at some discount rugs. We didn't buy a thing. I'm actually glad we have moved on to a new week.
Okay, I told you about my husband's list of chores for us to do this weekend. Well I was thinking about it this afternoon and decided that instead of resisting, I am going to embrass it with enthusiasm. Why, you may be asking?
Well, I think it will throw him off guard and I am going to be so into getting organized that I need to take it all the way. I am going to off handedly bring up getting new tv stands for our bedrooms. The old ones are too big and in the way. I know we don't really need them but I think it would look nice and if I do this right, I think he'll go for it.
You know I find myself complaining about being bored, but when faced with something to do, I complain about that as well. Today, when we go up, my husband had prepared a list of things for us to do....Oh man, that did not start my day well.
I read over his list and hated everything on it. My assignment is to clean out the file drawers and shred unneeded things! This doesn sound bad but if you saw how big and how many file drawers I have, you'd understand. His first order of business is to do the garage flooring. I'm not sure what that means, but I guess I'll be seeing.
I expected to have some side effects when the doctor decided to do a low dose chemo treatment for my Lupus. I was not surprised when I got so sick and felt so tired. I also was not surprised when some of hair started falling out. What I wasn't prepared for was how it has made my skin look.
I look in the mirror and I hardly recognize myself. My skin looks dry and pale and the worst part is how my eyes look. They seem sunken n and wrinkly around the sides. Yesterday, my mom sent a package to cheer me up. What was in it? Well it was a box full of the best eye creams available. She must have spent a fortune but it was so sweet of her. I can't wait to start trying them

Man, I can't believe it is almost Christmas. October is just about over meaning there is what...nine weeks till Christmas. This year is going to be a little skimpy since I am unemployed but I am going to try to still make it nice.
My sons were over for dinner last weekend and I asked them what they wanted. Neither were very helpful. By the time we were done talking my oldest son said he'd like some artwork for his walls and my other son said he wanted some Davidoff cigars . I'm not sure what they are or why they are special but I guess I will look online

Every year we have this huge Cruisin the Coast event here in Mississippi. It's really cool and and very big. Before Hurricane Katrina they would have more than 7000 cars involved. It has been slower since the storm but everyone was so happy this year because they had over 5000 so it is definitely picking up. I love to go and I know what it is that attracts me...it is all the chrome trim on those old cars. I just love it. I was sad that I did not get to go this year, but just to give you an idea I have a little video I did last year. Check it out.
Yep, it's that time of year again. My husband and I really do like Mississippi but the winters are really colder than we like.
I can cope but my husband just really gets dramatic when the temperature goes below sixty. He gets irritated because he doesn't want to turn on the heat to get rid of the chill but he can't stand feelng cold

And the winners are….
Okay, I think I told you before about the art site that I hang out at. FAA. Anyway, they let you host art contests which helps give you exposure as well as the artists who join the contest. Well I recently hosted a contest for Watercolor paintings and I wanted to post the winners so other could see their beautiful works

Wow, we have the winners in the watercolor contest. I am waiting for the jpg and bio from the first place winner. As soon as I get them, I will post so you can see their wonderful work.
I know this sounds silly but while I getting the pics for the other two winners ready, I saw a google ad for personalized cards and it occurred to me that that would be a great way to do my Christmas cards. I have decided I am going to do photo holiday cards, not with a family photo, but with a pic of one of my paintings. I think my family at least will really enjoy that

I know I'm getting old, but this is ridiculous.
Years ago, I used go with friends on a Saturday out shopping or out to lunch. It was always girls only. We had a lot of fun. Then as I hit my 30s, the girls would get together on a Friday night for some fun having drinks and just plain acting silly
