Good Morning Princess,


There won't be any exercise here unless running errands and cooking count.

Good Morning

Abundant Saturday sunshine here on LI! I got the sneakers laced up and headed out for my Saturday morning walk. That walk felt good!

DS had a change in plans last night so DH and I ended up going and picking up DD and BF from the airport last night. What a nightmare! They were through customs and waiting to be picked up and we had just left the house. DH almost missed the ramp into the airport and then once in the airport we couldn't figure out why the lane of traffic into arrival pickup for American wasn't moving. That was because people had their cars parked in the lane of traffic. Once we figured that out the arrival pick up was absolute chaos. We spotted them and then just had to stop in the lane of traffic, throw their luggage into the trunk and quickly get them into the car to leave. After a bit of a disagreement between myself and DH how to get out the airport we spotted a car with a driver who was quite obviously under the influence. He almost hit us and then was all over the road. I called 911 to report the plate # and we'll just say the dispatcher by the time she had me report the plate # about what seemed like 100 times we had already covered quite a few miles. We finally managed to safely go around the guy but watching him in the side view mirror we saw him hit the guardrail 5 or 6 times. The road eventually divides into 2 separate parkways and then changes from NYC police to Nassau-I just hope if they didn't catch up with him that he didn't cause an accident. He was certainly an accident waiting to happen. Just a touch more drama to the day!

DH is patiently awaiting his Harry Potter book as DD is up in MA. I just got off the phone with her and they both ask me-is my book here yet?

The usual Saturday nonsense around here. I have tons to do in the house and outside the house and I already know I can't possibly get everything done. The house needs attention, the weeds need attention and the mulch that I had planned to put down about 3 weeks ago sits unopened. At least it's out of the trunk of my car!

I had sort of thought DD was coming back with a ring on her finger but that announcement is still pending. I know DD isn't thrilled that there isn't something shiny on her left hand. They've been dating for 5 years and we'll just say she's growing a bit impatient!

For some reason I thought they were coming for dinner completely forgetting that they had plans with her BF's family. So my choice for dinner will go in the freezer and I'll have to scrounge around there and get something else out.

Well better get moving. Somehow I don't think the magic cleaning fairy is coming by and I guess the other option is me.

Hope everyone enjoys a super Saturday!

I love that sign and I want one-although can't quite imagine that DH would find it amusing. Personally I think it's true!

Hope your work day goes quickly and smoothly!

We have a fire pit. DH wanted it so badly and DD bought him a gift card so he could purchase it. We have yet to use it since the purchase last fall although he loaded up his pickup recently with wood from trees that were being cut down to add to his growing pile of wood to be used! Maybe someday!

I can't say good morning because that passed already and well it has not been a good morning...........Got up around 8 and had our routine of coffee and tea. We are invited to a BBQ that starts at 1:00 and I offered to make crumb cake. Problem I forgot my shortening and had to run to the grocery store. But first I had to run to the bank and cash my paycheck since I was out of money. Long line at the bank.........ran in for shortening and came out with 10 bottles of soda (on sale), some shortening, some pasta (also on sale) and a few other items. Car sounded funny when it started.....hummm do I go right home or get gas? I got gas, and could not restart the car. Bill came and tried to jump it but no good. Pushed it out of the way, loaded my stuff into Rob's truck which Bill brought and headed home. Bill is fumming because he stopped at the shop to pick up the battery pack and Rob did not finish cleaning the shop like he was supposed too. So Bill starts in with how Rob is taking advantage........blah, blah, blah and you know what he is right. The young man charged $200 worth of gas on our house account for the month of June, is not paying his own car insurance, never just payes me his cell phone money without me having to ask 20 times......he is only working 2 days a week at the body shop and has not taken on any extra detail jobs like he used to, none! He goes out until 1 in the morning, sleeps until 11. I have been saying for months time to pull back but nope, no one listened to me. So I have a feeling this is not going to be a good day. Came home and saw Rob who said he was meeting friends for a bike ride and my response was h*ll no. You get you *ss up to the shop and finish it because that is your responsiblity and there is no reason Bill should be doing it, and it has to be done before Monday. So that is my morning.................
