Hugs, Sun XXX

As long as you're OK. :l:l:l thanks for checking in.

:H

I covered Hamish and Dougie's eyes and ears! They still think Aunty Fenny is a cool chick! :H

Mrs. Fen wanted me to take measurements of the rooms so she can plan where to put all the furniture. Unfortunately, our agent Melvina is not very savvy in assisting. To further complicate things, all the rooms on one side of the condo are angled. I hope my sketches will satisfy Mrs. Fen- if not, she will have to do the measurements when she returns.

In her absence, her mentally challenged feline has decided that I am her one true love. She is right now palpating my spleen with the vigor of a much younger cat. I wish she was more of a lap cat like her mother (my deceased kitty), but she walks back and forth across my lap for drive-by pats...or, stands on my lap with her butt hole in my face while I pet her. She also has the annoying tendency to rub her drooly little lips on my hands, while slipping me a bit of fang. It's her way of saying "I'm so cray-cray about you!"

:H:H:H

Mine have been stuck to me like glue... I'm on the bed with the laptop, I couldn't even USE the office computer with them sitting on the desk/mouse/keyboard. They are slobbed out on their backs at the bottom of the bed now, all fours in the air. Wee feckers! :h

Zennifer - I received a lovely tee shirt with Nessie on it....at first I thought it said Nettie!!
THANKS so much!! Bret wants to know why is has such huge boobs...were you thinking of my 43/44 longs?? I told him I thought it was the monster's rear end.....

I knew you'd get a kick out of Nessie's 44L butt cheeks! :H (If Nettie had butt cheeks like that we could pimp her out!)

Hiya Nora, Liz, Dotts, everyone. Hugs!

Slobbing like a Boss and missing my lovely hotel room... waaaa! I have a Costco pizza in the oven and that is as far as my culinary expertise will stretch tonight. I actually timed it all pretty well as it stormed bad this arvo and it would have been a total waste being at a resort in that weather.

I've caught up on work and once I get through the pile of redundant emails it'll be like I never disappeared. I was late getting a check out to a broker in Michigan and I feel bad about that... I FedExed it to him earlier. I'm sure he'll live.

Dotts... I'm selling a house for a client, it's in Michigan. It's a shithole! I took the asking price down from $22,750 to $18,000 today... it's that BIG a shithole! Fixer Upper doesn't even begin to describe it.

This stupid computer is doing something with itself... slow as molasses. Going to check on my pepperoni pizza and fire up Netflix when this p.c. sorts it's issues out...

Hey all.....one of those evenings where I have just had enough.

Hubby is irritating me because he is breathing. Know what I mean?? Zen, your night get-away is looking wonderful right now. Don't be surprised if I do it myself. But, the sad thing is that I'll talk myself out of it. Can't afford it.....would hurt hubby's feelings.....to many things to do.....etc...etc....etc.....
You all know the drill. I am leaving in 3 weeks to go up to Oregon for a week. I love my Mom with all my heart, but it is still hard. Trying to take care of things here in California and dealing with things in Oregon. I feel like the tightrope I am on is wobbly.

So - bottom line is - I am doing HORRIBLE on the drinking front. Reccie is the best Word player that I have ever seen and Zen is the second. So, I'm going to start a game with her to see if she is better than Reccie. :H

Good Thursday all,
Thanks for all the words of encouragement. Kradle we have not set a revised wedding date, I will keep you posted.
Right now we are spending time together when we can end we are getting pretty good at plying checkers.

Hope you all have a great evening.

FT

LOL Nora! Reccy and I are very equally matched. I had a lead way back in the beginning but that's LONG gone! He's crafty!

I'm sorry you're feeling trapped. I so know what you're talking about. It's actually really hard to say f*ck it and do what you need to do to make yourself feel better, and not worry about trampling on other people's feelings. Maybe you should just tell Scott you need a little bit of time for yourself and just go and do it. Easy for me to say, I know, I'm not married. I bet he would understand though Nora.

And I SO get you on the mom situation... I'm in the same boat. I almost had a coronary at the hotel when my phone kept cutting out on her! Something small like that gets her really upset.

Do you know what I've done tonight? Watched animal videos on YouTube eating pizza (the Costco pizza was crap incidentally). I swear I'm having a midlife crisis!!! Check out some of the vids though Nora... mindless heart warming stuff... )

Love you!!! XXX

Hiya FT! Cross-post.

Someone needs to tell me HOW to play Checkers. I've totally forgotten the rules to that game!!!

Zennie - love you too.......:l:l:l:l:l
I was just having a pity party.....I think I'm done for the night (but, if hubby lays here next to me for very long, I'll have to scream again.)

Scream away Nora. Go in the shower, turn it up, and YELL!!!

I had a bit of a bitch-fest earlier today which has resulted in me feeling guilty in asking Bill to shut the sliding door to the other side of the house. He's in there now and I feel like a heel. I'll need to get over it pronto... there's nothing wrong with wanting some space in my own home. I swear my mother embedded a guilt chip in me when I was a toddler!

I hope you can chill a bit and feel better honey. I really do feel for you... I get it loud and clear. You want me to post some mindless YouTube links for you?!!! :H

Mama, I only cook one meal as well. I just feel like I want to sit with each one when they come home! I feel like my days with my remaining two little ones are numbered.

Nora, I'm so sorry. Hubs was getting on my nerves today. I'm a bit wobbly on the drinking front as well.

FT how are you?

Fen you just keep me laughing! I'm sitting here with my little Lucy next to me. She has to be touching me.

So hubs calls me into the family room before because he thought Lucy was wheezing. Mind you I'm the one that's the hypochondriac. I don't hear anything and neither does my son. Turns out what he was hearing was a cricket outside. We about died laughing!

Why the F@@@ is he trying to touch me? There are times when living with someone it's the pits
