Another day off that has passed way too quickly. The refrigerator is back to being full of good things. My nails look nice and my mission at the mall was completed. Penneys was having some good sales. I found a pair of sneakers and on the advise of the salesperson I went up a 1/2 size and chose a wider width to accomodate the issue with my toe. I was afraid that they wouldn't fit the other foot but so far so good and certainly much better than the discomfort of my old sneakers. I was so tempted to look around at the fall things that were on sale but trying to buy only what I need at this point and not knowing what's in the closet for the fall at the moment I resisted temptation. I did get my DD her gift card and will make sure that it gets in the mail so she has her card and gift before she leaves next Sunday.

DD and her BF put together an offer for a house and it was to be presented this afternoon. No word from her so I guess no news is good news at this point. The only bad thing is if they come back with a counter offer they won't be able to go much higher because of the type of mortgage that they would be getting. The upside is that the sellers have apparently are already in the process of purchasing a new house which means they need to get this one sold. Unless they get multiple offers they may be in a good place to have their offer accepted. Wish I could get up there to see the place in person! But thanks to the internet and the pictures she took and sent me I have a pretty good idea of what it looks like.

We had a nice dinner with our other DD and her BF. I made one of her favorite chicken dinners!

I guess that's about from me and I'm about ready to head to bed. Hope everyone has had a good day and will enjoy a good night's sleep!

I got home from my drive around 3:45! Was not too bad, actually it was a pretty smooth drive. Bill and Katie were home watching TV when I walked in. Together they had gone to breakfast, Katie took him to meet the new horse, they took Bill's old station wagon through the car wash and were home doing some laundry, lol. Helped Katie is an English essay but advised her to speak with the teacher since it was a bit out of my league. I made some chicken cutlet parm for dinner, cleaned up and relaxed a little before heading upstairs around 10:00. Morning came way to fast if you ask me! Let me bounce something off you ladies if you don't mind..................


My sister Sharon who is having the baby has this girl friend Linda. Linda was a real thorn in our sides when we were helping Sharon with her wedding plans and the bridal shower. We (my mom, myself and my middle sister) kept our mouths shut because it was Sharons day and well no need to rock the boat you could say. Well Linda moved down to Florida about 2 years ago and of coarse Sharon sees her and talks to her on a regular basis. Sharon often tells us tales about her friend and how needy she is. See Linda is not married, has no steady boyfriend, has trouble keeping a boy friend because of how needy she is, she is "trying" to get pregnant because her biological clock is ticking away and she wants a baby (don't get me started there). Anyway, we sent her an invite to the shower because she is Sharons friend. She got one that was written with the wrong date. Well this weekend Sharon tells me she knows about the baby shower and I figured she would. She is due in 7 weeks and we asked what her work schedule was. Plus my parents have these anxiety issues and were driving her crazy. To add to the situation her doopey husband showed her an email about the shower. (We won't go there either) Anyway it was an email from Linda that read something to the effect of "Did you know that your wifes family wrote the wrong date on the shower invitations? I am really worried about this, is there anything I can do to help?" David was like, I have nothing to do with the shower and has no clue. Well to say the least I was so pissed that Linda has the nerve to email David about this situation and she has stepped way over the line as far as I am concerned, would you agree? Would you say something to her? I have her email address and I emailed her right away with the correct information and she responded with that neither weekend would work and she would not be coming up but was planning on comeing in December for a week to "help" Sharon out. If I tell my other sister she will go right through the roof, she dislikes this Linda even more then I do. What would you do? I want to email her so bad and let her know that it was none of her business to tell David about the little mistake that was corrected as quickly as it was done. She needs to remember she is a friend not a sister and she needs to step back. When Sharon was planning the wedding you would not believe how much the woman had to say and do. Would you believe she gave Sharon a white nightie at the shower, floored all of us and made my mother feel so awful. She bought the LENOX cake topper, insisted Sharon go for the fancier favors, insisted she go along to choose the DJ, I could go on and on.............so what do you think?

I am a little confused about what really happened but if something is bothering you that badly about what Sharon did, I would let her know. No reason for you to be stewing over it and ruin this nice time for the family. It does sound like Sharon overstepped.


Maybe just writing it here helped you feel better.

Sorry for mixing up the names. I was trying to keep it straight but the brain wouldn't process it.

If you don't feel any better, then you will have to say something to the one that is eating your insides up.
