Morning all,
Raining all night with storms. I didnt sleep well. Not used to being alone with the storms and noise. Guess I will just have to get used to it. What choice do I have????
Get my hair done later today so I am hoping that will perk me up a bit. I will look great with no one to appreciate me...or take me out.
I will be so glad when the trainer gal gets back next week. I really miss the gym and am not sleeping as well either.
I am thinking about buying some new bedding for ME...new sheets and light weight comforter. Things that dont remind me of sleeping with hubby. Need to see who has coupons. Any good places on line to buy this kind of stuff?? Just hard to sleep in the same bed but it is so comfy that I sleep better there when I am able to sleep that is.
I am feeling a little better but get so lonely here alone. I am looking forward to the class next week. Maybe I can get to the gym earlier in the day. I cant go to gym at the same time and make the class and take a shower.....
I will be here off and on all day...

Dots,New bedding sounds like a great plan something nice and indulgent and super soft,there's a site called the Lakeside collection where I buy a lot of things, take a peek, although for sheets you may want to do it in person so you can get a feel of how soft they are, I like Kohls too for that stuff, any way you can change some furniture around to make it more you?

[Dottie Belle]

pauly I love Kohls too...I see a little shopping therapy in my future....

[mama bear]

Hey gang. Hubs just left for the bar, so I am going to eat and flop.
Friday nights are hard for me since hubs is out drinking.
New sheets sound good Dots. I could not sleep on sheets that I shared with hubs.
House cleaned and groceries done.
I love you all

[paulywogg]

Hey all, boring day off but that's ok with me,I hate the first week of the month cuz I'm too broke to do much, but at least Easter shopping is done, rent is paid, so that's good hubs got a coupon at work for a free bbq chicken pizza so good!can't wait till he gets home, hope everyone is having a good night

[Ginger999]

Dottie, Check out Overstock.com. They have high end stuff for cheap(er). I love the idea of new bedding. Make it your own. You are amazing....

Hey guys. Busy day today. Worked a little overtime, then hubs and I went to a "fishfry" with another couple. Never done that before. Kinda fun. Then we went back to their house for coffee and cake. Just got home a little while ago.
Mama, does hubs know you your a little bummed that he goes out drinking? Would you want him not to go?
Dottie, new bed set sounds so nice! Try Wayfair or Zulilly. I have purchased several things on both. There is free shipping over a certain amount on I think it was wayfair. I'm new to shopping online but I could easily get hooked on it. So many choices and it's so easy!
Pauly BBQ pizza sounds delicious!
Sweet dreams!

Good Late Evening Friends,

I had today off and it was such a productive day....I cleaned out some of my kitchen cabinets and reorganized one of my closets and I didn't stop until 7:00 PM. Ah, the joys of being AF! Good Friday is usually a very depressing day for me because of the solemnity of the holy day, but not this year, I was filled with energy and gratitude.

Dottie-Wayfair, Macy's, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Kohl's...all have wonderful bedding. I think it's an EXCELLENT idea that you are buying new bedding just for YOU! You might even rearrange some furniture or re-paint a room once you pick out your comforter and sheets. I love throw pillows, too.

Pauly-that BBQ pizza sounded delicious!! Hope your allergies are better.

Mom-good for you for sleeping in after all the long hours you worked this week.

Nora-isn't it a pain waiting around to see if you'll actually be on the jury??? UGH. Been there and done that.

Liz-fish fries are famous here in Wisconsin....I grew up with them.

Sunni-I'm glad you're going back to see your mum. I know you've been worried about her.

Big hellos to everyone else. Off to bed now. :-)

Good Morning to all! Getting ready for work so need to be quick ....

Rusty - nice to see you and so glad that you had a good day yesterday .... I love sorting out closets and stuff ! I am going to help my daughter sort her stuff - she texted me and asked me if I would help her !!

MB - I agree with Liz - why not tell hubs that you do not like it when he goes out drinking - seems a tad unfair that he expects you not to but he can!

Pauly - I laughed at you saying 'boring day off' - don't you like days off ??

Dottie - do you have plans for this weekend? We had those storms that went through too .... some of them were really fierce!

Hi to everyone else and anyone I have missed - got to feed the dogs and finish getting ready for work ,

Hugs, Sun xx

[mama bear]

hubs asked if I wanted him to stay home and I told him to go....he has so many friends there and really looks forward to his "man time"
you all have me wanting to shop on line!! I did just order some Dansko shoes for work from amazon.com
Rusty...it's always so nice to see you!
gonna lounge a bit and then work some more on this house and change all the beds
Sun - you crack me up...you LOVE sorting closets? I would rather be dragged by wild horses!
coffee.....stat

[Lizann]

Good morning my loves! So good to see you rusty! I love organizing too, once I get started! Yes Good Friday is solemn day, but like you I was filled with gratitude this year!
Have a good day at work sunny, I used to hate working weekends. I was actually thinking yesterday, at this point in my life maybe it wouldn't be so bad. It would certainly keep me out of trouble!
What a lousy nights sleep I had, I guess all that talk has me restless, lol! Anyway tonight will be better. Off to the dentist in a bit, UGH!!! Then on to preparations for tomorrow, baking and such. I still make and hide baskets for the kids! Silly, but they still like it. I guess I will just give Erin hers. She was off this week for spring break and we spent a lot of time together, so of course it was a good week. One evening we were all sitting at the table and she invited for tonight, you know just pizza and hockey. Lol, silly me she meant, her siblings and significant others, not me and her dad! She's having Dans brothers over too, plus a few of her cousins. Gotta show off that beautiful freshly painted townhouse!
Dottie, did you look into those websites? I ordered a rug on wayfair that was 90% off! It's a good quality and I love it. How is your hair? Would you consider going to a different church tomorrow, or perhaps even an evening service tonight. Just a thought.
Mama, where is date night tonight? Hubs and I decided just a movie for us since it will be an "eating"weekend.
Pauly your menu sounds delicious! It will be fun having Louie around I'm sure. Glad that nasal spray helped you.
Nora what happened with the jury duty. I worry about you? Are you doing ok?
Well haven't I just rambled on? Making up for not being around yesterday. Well off to floss my toofs before my appt!

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Hair looks good. Will be wasted on the kids at the Easter egg hunt but that is how my life is right now.
I did consider going to another church tonight but I am not one to walk into a strange place alone. Just not sure what I wll do. My friend invited me over for dinner tomorrow with her family. We would have spent the day with them so this might be a little much but I will try anyway. If I stop doing everything we did together I might as well stop breathing. If it is too much I will leave.
I did look at some of the web sites last night. Going to go to Kohls and Bed bath and beyond before making a purchase. I need to clean the hall closet out and get rid of some of the junk in there. I think we were both hoarders of sorts. There is much decluttering to do around here but I am just not in the mood right now. Maybe when I feel better about things. I dont know but there is not hurry because the dogs dont care how the place looks.

[mama bear]

I gave the boys 1 pound solid chocolate bunnies!
Don't know where date night is, Lizz. It depends on if the boys go....if they pile along we go someplace cheaper!
Dots - glad your hair looks nice.....you need to keep up your looks or you be even more depressed. I know that sound harsh, but it's true. Take care of yourself honey.
I am off the get tapeworm meds for the darn cat and get my nails done.

Today was hard because dh and I would have done the Easter egg thing together like we did everything else. I am proud of myself for even going and staying to clean up.
I can not imagine being alone the rest of my life but cant imagine being with anyone else either. I know time will tell.
In for the evening I guess. I hate being alone in the evening. But I need to get used to it I guess. I dont have the energy to search out a church for tomorrow or tonight. Just really need dh to hug me and tell me it will be alright...but he is not here and I am crying...Why am I alone again.....I dont have any answers just questions and am hopeful that time will take me somewhere that is not so lonely.
