Happy Saturday

[doodlebug 3]

WoooHooo!!!! Survived the mall and back to school shopping. Only thing I missed was a cinammon and sugar pretzel. As a result I will make funnel cakes tonight. My daughter saw that movie and she loved it. Think tomorrow may be a lake day after curch.

Doodle - will my funnel cakes be sufficient? Then the lake tomorrow?

only if there is a TON of powdered sugar on top of that funnel cake...then MAYBE i'll forgive the fact that you didn't have that pretzel.

We were supposed to go school supply shopping this weekend 'cause my work gave me a discount coupon for Staples that was only good through the end of this weekend. Oh well.

I refuse to go school clothes shopping until the school year is a few weeks underway. Only by then have they surveyed the other girls' wardrobes and know what they want. Many a year have I stocked up only to have them beg me for this or that a few weeks into the year. The one thing I dread is getting those North Face jackets. they do last them through the whole year so we get our money's worth but omg those things are expensive.

Not a lot today, just got back from lunch with my grandparents. About to head to the basement to continue cleaning it out so we can remodel it and my fiance and I can live down there :energetic:

It might not be done by the time he gets here....but I'll put him to work. And if he doesn't know how to put up drywall, he will by the time he's done

Moroccan FEstival in Houston today....mmmmm....couscous.....

I saw Hairspray yesterday. I am still unsure how I feel about it. It is a more white washed version of the original film for sure, but still quuite entertaining. I love musicals and movies with dancing. I have mixed feelings about John Travolta. anyone see it?

I haven't but my oldest daughter saw it last week and the funny thing is that the original was on the Family Channel the next day. She said the two were VERY different but I'm glad she got to see both so quickly so she could compare.

That the original plays on the family chanel just tickles me- it's really a rather "subversive" film

Behind this house, is a HUGE field. This builder is putting 100 houses in this field. It is a whole neighborhood,,,,,and guess who gets to floor the entire project??? At 10% commission on all of it??? ME! Is that the most awesome thing ever?????

Hope you all have a great weekend.

No kidding. I was like, hon what channel is this, and she showed me that it was the family channel!

Thing is that the weather is usually so hot the first week or two that they can still really wear their summer clothes. Doesn't normally start to get chilly here until around mid-September and school starts on Sep 5 this year for us. But of course now that I said that we'll have a massive cold front come in. lol. I hope not if the price of oil stays high.

I mean if it's too painful for you that's one thing but most of us still consider you as family and lord knows you have a heck of a lot of visa info (amoung other things) to offer.

I'll put up quite a stink if you go!

I feel like a hot piece of poop today. I was supposed to be studying all day for my next exam, but I haven't done a damn thing. I don't know if it's the heat or what, but yawn, I think I'll take a nap now...

If you leave me now, youll take away the biggest part of me

No baby please dont go

If you leave me now, youll take away the very heart of me

No baby please dont go

A love like ours is love thats hard to find

How could we let it slip away

Weve come too far to leave it all behind

How could we end it all this way

When tomorrow comes well both regret

Things we said today

A love like ours is love thats hard to find

It's hot as heck outside. Even the cat is droopy.

oh doodle, you are something else....I love ya girl.

I think I am depressed. I don't think to eat, or change my clothes, when driving I often say 'wow how did I get here?' I am not coping with this very well. I have not heard my husbands voice for ....3 weeks tommorrow. No fights, no arguements, nothing. Just poof and he's gone. I feel like he died and there was not even a funeral. The person that layed next to me for 3 years is gone. How do you go to bed with that thought? You don't, you sit on the couch and stare at the bedroom door. Man, I did not mean to unleash all this negativity. See, that is why I shouldn't be here.

I promise to check in on you all from time to time. I care. I just can't be cheery and upbeat now.

Wishing you the best Jackie, with whatever life brings you.

Congratulations on the floor job! I guess you'll be busy for some time.

And don't feel that you need to be cheery when you're here. Take a look around, everyone has their moments/days when they are upset or need to vent or whatever.

You are always welcome here, whatever the mood.

Depression sounds about right. I think you should go for a while- you know- everyday here is a reminder and it is so easy to just stay in front of the computer- not eating, not sleeping (speaking from personal experience here ) ...a few days, a couple of weeks...it could do you good. I remember taking a break from VJ during the visa proccess when we hit a really hard part...it really makes a difference.

But we are going to save your spot and keep your chair warm
