I chatted on the phone yesterday with several friends and we watched a St. Louis game on tv last night. There is not a lot going on here, but I am glad. I am going to be busy as the Summer goes on. It has been raining a lot here. It rained most of the day yesterday. It actually rained on us a little when we were walking, but we got our walk in. It started raining harder when we got home though.
Today I am going to walk with Tina and then do laundry when I get home. I am going to start decorating my blog and seasonal pages soon too. I have to get that done before I start school. Have a nice day!!
I went walking with my friend Tina yesterday. We figured we must have walked about 3 miles. We got to talking and didn’t realize how many laps we had walked. We needed it though. We haven’t walked since last Monday. We are meeting this morning to walk again and then I will come home and take my shower and be by to visit blogs.
My dad called last night. My mom is getting better and better as far as her breathing goes. He had asked about having Joshua down to stay the night, but I said I wanted to spend some time with him before I go back to school this Summer. He said that would probably be for the best since mom is still not feeling all the way better. She really just needs to rest. Have a great day!!
The baseball game was a lot of fun last night and we did not have any rain at all. It was exciting too. We had gotten behind and the crowd started to leave, but in the 9th inning a player hit a homerun to tie the score and go into extra innings, then in the 10th we scored and won. It was a lot of fun.
Today Joshua and I are planning to just relax. Karl had to go back to work. Have a nice day!!
Happy Memorial Day!! We got our house all cleaned up, so I can stop talking about it…LOL!! Karl helped me and we got it really clean. I also took a nice long bubble bath after we finished cleaning last night. I haven’t done that in forever.
Karl is going to mow the lawn today, so we will work on the outside of the house. It has been raining a lot these past several days, so we will see what we can get done. It is pretty soggy out. We are planning to go and see a baseball game tonight…Springfield Cardinals, that is the AA St. Louis Cardinals team. They are here close by, so we will go and watch a game. I hope it does not rain on us. I will be by to visit also. Have a nice day!!
We are going to church this morning and then I need to do laundry and clean house. I did not get a thing done yesterday. I just watched old movies and played on the computer. The house is in need of a good cleaning though, so I will try and get that done today. We have plans for Monday, we are planning on going to a baseball game, so I need to clean today or I will be putting it off even longer. Have a great day!! I will be by to visit later!!
Karl, Joshua and I went shopping last night. We just had to pick up a few things. We need to get my medications picked up today. I need to clean house too.
Kat reminded me yesterday that I had not mentioned that Joshua and I are not going to Granie’s this weekend. We were originally going to go and get my mom, but she got sick and my dad had to go and get her last Sunday. She was having trouble breathing. She is doing fine now, but we were going to ride with him and now that mom is home, we will just stay home too. Granie probably needs a little time to herself anyway. My mom was down there for about a month and I am sure my mom drove Granie a little crazy. I am not sure when we will make it down there now.
Toni has a fun Saturday Special!! Here it is!!
~Your Brand is Showing! (suggested by Marge)~
1. Food: Do you buy brand names or go for the cheaper store name brand?: I used to buy the brand names, but at the pre-school the parents bring in Wal~Mart brands and I found they are just as good if not better. I always try to buy the Wal~Mart brand.
2. Clothes: Wear designer jeans/slacks with a brand name or regular department store jeans/slacks?: department store…same thing, I used to buy designer, but I like department store just as well.
3. Handbags: Buy a designer bag or look for a less expensive copy?: less expensive
4. Shoes: You got the drift, designer or a cheaper copy?: cheaper copy
Joshua and I had a nice day yesterday. We did not do much of anything. Karl came home early and took Joshua to see Spiderman. I stayed home and talked on the phone with a co-worker for a little while. We did get a little rain, so that will be nice for my flowers.
Today I need to run to Wal~Mart for a few things. Have a great day!!
