Morning all,wow Carmen is a beautiful cat Fen stomach is better so far,but I'm still stuffed and sneezy,hopefully better by tomorrow, these things usually pass quickly, I see Mama made it home, hopefully she'll check in today and let us know how the trip was,as for coloring me and Louie do all the time and it would probably be relaxing if he wouldn't tear my half done masterpieces out of the book while I'm coloring haha,what's on everyone's agenda for the day? I'm supposed to grocery shop but that'll be a miracle, I feel too weak to even shower,bleh,plus its forecasted for 110 today,we shall see,hello to all and I hope we all have a peaceful Sunday

[fennel]

Pauly, stay inside and relax. Or have hubs pick up some groceries if he's able...sometimes, guys don't do too well in that category, LOL!

That's funny about Louie...I hope that one of these days he'll let you have your masterpiece.

Where was Mama?

[paulywogg]

Orlando? I think, she travels a lot with this new job,and hell no on hubs grocery shopping, he buys crap!think I posted awhile ago that I sent him and he bought stuff like taco shells but nothing to make tacos with, he's a goober but I love him

[Dottie Belle]

Morning again.
Breakfast was really nice. It was his sister, brother and sister in law. His sister hugged me when we met. SIL hugged me when we said goodbye...Nice folks just like him. He is leaving this afternoon for a trip to Michigan for job training. He said he would call me. I think he will. I can tell the way he looks at me that he is smitten....we shall see when he comes back.
I have heard from Dave AND Jerry this weekend. They both want to see me. I am so popular...LOL

Fen the kitty is beautiful. I have 2 that are getting old. Not sure I will get any more. I need to downsize my fur babies at some point. When they go to the rainbow bridge I think that will be it for me. But never say never. I also get it about the dating. It is really hard and confusing and so many more emotions. But I am forging ahead anyway.

Pauly was hoping u would feel better by now. Can you take something???

Going to the park for a walk. Back later.

[paulywogg]

Glad you had fun Dots bought some nasacort even though it kinda gives me anxiety, it works better than the prescription flonase for me,luckily all my stuff is done for the day,except for watching Louie til 5,gonna make chicken noodle soup and watch tv

[NoraC]

Hello all - I swear I thought I posted earlier????

Fen - love the kitty pic. I'm going to look up the color app

Pauly - glad your stomach is better but now get rid of the rest of it :hug: I laughed at Louie grabbing your page when you were half done. LOL

Dots - I'm so glad that it went well with his family.

I think Mama was in Georgia last week and is going to Orlando tomorrow!

Liz - what movie did you go see?

Rusty - guess you are enjoying your time with your friend.

Addy, Blue, Cowboy, SK and everyone - Have a great Sunday (I just wrote Saturday by mistake. I must want another day off )

[Lizann]

Hey guys. We went to see Man from UNCLE. It was pretty good.
Today after church we went to Outback with CJ. I colored this morning during the service. Just got off Skype with Mark. It's finally cooled off in Switzerland. He is keeping busy. Doesn't look like his trip back to Paris will pan out. He had two more major presentations this last week. Having fun with his new friends. I will get my butt on that treadmill in a bit. I felt so good yesterday afterward.
Nora, CJ and I are going to check out that Gracie and frank was it, on netflix later.
Fen, Carmen is a beautiful cat. May I ask if this divorce is a mutual decision? I don't want to pry, so if you don't want to answer I understand. From what you've said I'm guessing you don't want it. Sending hugs your way.
Pauly, feel better!
Mama, my son sometimes likes to go food shopping with me too. Makes it more fun, but I enjoy it anyway. I'd go for you Pauly if I lived closer.
Rusty enjoy your weekend with your friend.
Dottie, glad things went well this morning.

[paulywogg]

Aww,thanks Liz I never take Brady cuz he likes to throw junk in the cart so the bill ends up $50 more than it needs to be haha

[NoraC]

Hey there - so........

Hubby's sister & BIL are going to be down here next weekend. They'll be about an hour away. My BIL's Mom lives down south from us and they are going to come visit for her birthday. Well, hubby and I decided to get a hotel down (it's really close to the beach) there so we could just have a fun night away from everything. We'll visit with them during the day and then spend the evening at our hotel.

Well - we were talking and looking at rooms. Hubby said that maybe he would even get a beer. (He used to drink to excess but stopped several years ago. I didn't even drink when we got together. ). He very occasionally will have a beer (once or twice a year). Anyway, I immediately felt panicky. I started thinking about my days sober and that I didn't want to drink. What was I going to do?!?

I thought about it for an hour and I just told hubby that it was ok for him to have a beer but I wasn't going to. He immediately said that he wasn't either and he apologized for having brought it up. I told him again that he could. But, he has said he won't.
I have been thinking that I'm going to start taking AB. Make sure that it's in my system and I won't end up drinking if we go out to dinner with them. I am trying to do this without AB and have been doing well. But, I don't know that I'm up for that challenge yet.

Thanks for letting me vent........

[paulywogg]

Probably just take the AB Nora,just to be on the safe side,you've been doing soooo good,I'd hate to see anything happen,not saying it would but you never know with us,I too debated taking it before I went on my trip but I ended up not taking it cuz the start up makes me feel funny,either way I think you're a strong woman and will be ok

[NoraC]

Thanks Pauly. I think you're right. If I take it, then there won't be an issue.

Well - a fire started about 10 miles away. 2 people are in custody but that's all they said. First fire burned about 16-20 acres and then sparked a second fire. I think the first one is about 60% contained but the 2nd one isn't contained yet.

[Lizann]

Nora, a weekend away sounds lovely. I agree with Pauly be on the safe side and just take the AB. Good hubby is being supportive.
That whole fire situation is so scary. I hope they get it contained and it does impact you in any way. Any rain on the horizon?

[mama bear]

I am home and finally have a second to post. I have not read back but wanted you to all know I am here and ok.
It was a long, exhausting week. This portfolio of properties are all ghetto and in the worst areas of Atlanta. Half of the employees wear guns. Not sure what I am going to do.
Plus, while I was gone Nana had another mini stroke and just got home from the hospital.
I ad a complete meltdown in my hotel room Thursday night, but my roomie and best work bud let me cry and cry and just held me. I was better after that. Time for bed and back at it tomorrow.

[NoraC]

Mama :hug: :hug: :hug:

[SHADES_of_IDAHO]

Hope you are all doing well...

I can't emagine how fast the summer has gone.

I still keep up with you all!
