One Step at a Time - October 2016

That does sound exciting Nora. I'd be curious to know how you make out. I didn't realize you could sell on etsy. I just do garage sales and probably get next to nothing for stuff.
The engagement party is November 27th. Hubby wants to have non al cider there for me to drink instead of champagne. Probably a good idea, but I got a little sad at that too. I'm doing good though and we don't want to wreck it now do we?
Erin came by yesterday and we made the vases for the center pieces and did some other decorations. It's coming together.b

Aw Liz... I know how you feel! I remember that first family event that we had where there was champagne.
I felt kind of left out...like a child who was being punished. My therapist told me that it wasn't about what was in the glass. It was about the company I was with and the event we were celebrating. She was right. I think non AL cider is pretty nasty. I would get plain old cider and put it in a champagne glass. Hugs to you!! Are you still seeing your therapist?

Nora-wow, you were a bundle of productivity yesterday!

Glassy-I wish you wouldn't leave us...please let me know if something upset you.

Big hellos to everyone else!

Hey all,Nora,it's hard to find a Barnes and noble anymore around here I think eventually they'll be like Blockbuster and be obsolete, Glassy,I hope everything is ok, I sent you an email(I think I did it right) Michelle's birthday was fun,I made her the tacos she wanted, ordered Papa John's, and bought a cheesecake sampler, drove them back to their place and I had the bright idea of stopping at a casino, I didn't win a thing!! but at least I could hang with her and get to know her new boyfriend a bit,I'm not sure if I like him or not yet,I'm horrible at that! They all had 2 beers while I just focused on picking the right keno numbers, it didn't bother me, I didn't care actually I just wanted to win haha,well off to grocery shop yippie, probablybe back later

Hello friends!
Aifnl, I got to see Billy Joel atMadison Square Garden a few months ago! It was phenomenal!!
Sending love to all today.

[NoraC]

Hello everyone. I am going to be a complete slug and do nothing today. Ok - I take it back. I have stuff to do around the house but I'm not going anywhere.

Nursie - how you doing? Sleeping any better?

Pauly - glad you had a fun day. How long has she been with this guy? I hope he's good to her. To bad you didn't win a million dollars yesterday! Or at least a dollar.

Liz - glad the plans are coming together. I felt a little strange when I thought about it at Casey's wedding. But, it worked out great. Before the toast the waiters went around with two bottles in their hands - sparkling cider & champagne. I was able to toast and I wasn't uncomfortable as if I was being singled out.

[NoraC]

Barnes & Nobles are not that easy to find. I just love books. I love holding them and having them around me. I walk into a book store & I'm like a kid in a toy store. I really love going into used book stores. The smell and the shelves filled with treasures. But, the sad thing is that I mostly read on my kindle.

[NoraC]

Rusty - hope you have a really fun dinner. You are quite the hostess. I think everyone is here except me. I'm more of a here's a plate, fix yourself a sandwich. :rotlf:

Mr V - I hope that you had a wonderful day yesterday. We don't get changing leaves in this part of the state. I think it's beautiful whenever I have been lucky enough to see it. A picnic sounds like lots of fun.

aihfl - I think $100 is still good for Billy Joel. I hope you have a great time!

Nora,I'm not a hostess either haha,we went to Bobbis bf's mom's house a few years ago for a birthday party and all the appetizers were fancy crap served on tiered silver,I was thinking"where's the chips and dip and pizza rolls" haha Michelle has been with the guy 2 months, I put a pic of yesterday up on Facebook, my mom's threatening to come down for a visit, ugh,last year I drank cuz I knew I couldn't deal with her sober,now what am I supposed to do? It's easy when I go visit her,I can let her be with her drinking but when she's here,meh,I can't just go to my room

[paulywogg]

Hopefully it'll start snowing before she can make it down!

[Rusty]

Pauly-hate to tell you this-I serve on silver "crap."

[NoraC]

[paulywogg]

Rusty, if you read it I said the food was "crap" not the silver

[Rusty]

It is time for me to move on, too.

[NoraC]

Move on to your dinner party?
