Updating

Whew...before I go on I must apologize..my friend Jean is NOT OLD! I am old but she isn't.
Life around here is crazy. We haven't finished unpacking but it is slowly but surely coming together.
The downstairs is almost done...I never want to go to another Tupperware party!
So now we have to do upstairs and I am not looking forward to that.
This week Jean (my young friend) and I are going to a Scrapbook convention. As Tommy says, "You are always going somewhere." I am excited..it has been a long time since I have gone to a scrapbook convention.
I have started cooking again but I don't have to do much of that because my young friend Jean brings us great food all the time. She brought a meatloaf dinner for Tommy and left 2 tins of meatloaf in my freezer. Then she made lasagna and left most of it in my freezer. She also made 2 containers of ham salad sandwich spread in my freezer. I love having a personal chef!
On a sad note, my son's beautiful dog Bailey was hit and killed by a car. The whole family is extremely sad at her passing. But I know Bailey is in heaven chasing rabbits and sleeping in beds.
Jean (my young friend) and I took Miss Reagan and Mr. Camden to the Shriner's parade on Saturday. We had fun watching the clowns but we were disappointed that they didn't throw candy at us. The next Friday, Deidra, Reagan, Camden and I went to the Shriner's Circus..thanks to my young friend, Jean. Camden was brave and rode an elephant. Deidra also rode it. Reagan wasn't interested, she didn't like the smell. Both Reagan and Camden had their faces painted. Reagan was a butterfly and Camden was a clown. The circus was fun. We all enjoyed it.
So my next update will be after we go to the scrapbook convention.

Whew! Change!

Well, a week ago yesterday we moved into an apartment...see I longed for my own place and now I have it. It is a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath townhouse. So far it is fairly quiet there.
I have been training to run a half marathon at Walt Disney World the first weekend in March. Today I walked/ran 7 miles. So I am kind of sore right now.
We are trying to save as much money as we can since I am not working much. I decided not to get Internet service until we see how the money is with us paying rent. I go to the library for Internet service. I tried to Wifi at the Jack in the Box by our place but their Wifi was not working. I also bring my laptop over to Jean's house and we each sit there on our computers...like an old married couple.
Tom's shift has changed for at least a month. He is working 8 hour days from 1pm to 9:30pm. He has Tuesday and Wednesday off. Hopefully, he will go back to his other schedule in a few weeks.
Celine (also known as Cat) is very happy to have her own place. She loves to look at the duck out the window.
The only thing I hate is that we don't have a washer and dryer yet. Jean allowed me to bring some laundry to her house but I hate to impose on her like that. I need to find the local laudromat and get my clothes clean.
Meanwhile, I empty boxes and it seems like they are never going to stop. I think they reproduce in the middle of the night. I may finish unpacking by the time we are ready to move again.

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!

My Mom says I need to update by blog so here it is.
I had a bad reaction to Lipitor. It attacked my muscular system. I am not much better and the only side effects I am having is a numb tip of my thumb on the left hand. My hands hurt if I write or type a lot. And I have lost the strength in my hands. I, no longer, can open soda bottles.
I seem to be allergic to Missouri. My allergies are driving me nuts. I can't breathe and rashes keep showing up on my arms. I also had a reaction to somthing in my hair dye. I am an allergic mess.
Otherwise, my life is full. I made a great friend. Her name is Jean and we have a great time shopping and crafting.
Last night, Tommy and I went to see Celine Dion.
This evening Jean and I went to a scrapbooking event with a Stampin' Up consultant.
Friday night I am taking a beading class at Hobby Lobby.
Saturday, Jean and I are going to two stamping classes.
Whew! I am a busy girl!
Reagan says I am never home any more.
Camden and Reagan keep me laughing. They like to play family. Reagan is the mom, Camden is the dad, and Grammie is the baby. We have made Bailey, the pirate dog who licks you to death.
On the job front, I am subbing. I sub Elementary and High School.
so our lives are busy. I long for my own place to live. I can't believe I am saying this but I want to cook again. But as Tommy says to me, "All in good time, all in good time."
