This morning I weighed myself and I had lost 2 lbs. :0) Later after I showered I stepped on the scale naked and holy cow....another pound was gone. Splain how......trust me, I'm not going to look a "gift horse" in the mouth. All I did differently ....was this morning ( I've been promising myself I was going to do it before my new kitchen set came ), I cleaned my china cabinets , both inside and out. Up on a step stool, back down to the floor. Over and over. Back and forth to the sink to wash the pretties. ;0) THEN...I tried to take a nap. Was woken at least 3 times before I gave up figuring I had enough of a rest.
The thought hit me that I'd like to have my Royal Ruby punch bowl set and Lazy Susan down from the attic so I can display them after twelve lonnnnnnnnnnnnng years and my thoughts immediatedly ran to great grand baby Gavin. SHIT! It will be a year before he can pull things down , ( I hope, I hope.) Still am thinking of having my son Randy go up in that crawl space attic and look for them. Know their general area. That's half the battle. :0) Packed all those pretties away when Jill moved in with Logan who was 18 months old at that time. Gil was nine and Ryan was eighteen. No longer could I display all my pretty glass. I made the choice gladly back then. EXCEPT it was only suppose to be TEMPORARY. sigh!
Large display cabinet hold service for eight Royal Ruby dishware
Hoping to be able to put another piece of dishware in the opening below this and will post it later.
Some things I have more than eight of.
I keep my great grandmother's curved glass china cabinet in my bedroom. More Royal Ruby in it, but for the simple reason ( it's a mess ),I'll display a picture another time. ;0) AFTER I clean it out.
Tracie called last night and don't know what I said to convince her I didn't want her company, but she stayed away. Think it was the tone in my voice and lack of interest . Whatever worked..WORKED! :0)
I went to bed early. Around nine p.m. It's early for moi. At eight I called my best friend Nancy in Alaska. Knew she would be having to make supper soon as there is a four hour time difference, BUT KNEW I would not be able to stay awake til ten. She will be 75 ten days after I turn 75. WOW! That number looks ancient. ;0)
5:40. Tracie just called. She's in Nashua,NH. Asked if I wanted to do anything....tonight the answer was "yes." Have had TJ Maxx on my mind. Have a $10 birthday coupon...IF I spend $50. That isn't hard to do. ;0) Haven't been there in months. That....can be good. I shit you not!
What I can't find for my cruise here, more than likely I WILL AT BEALLS IN FL. LOVE shopping in their outlet.
Took a break to feed hubby supper. Jill,Gil,W.B. and his daughter Alex went out to eat earlier and are back now. Four hours later. Jill was late getting started today ( per usual ). Didn't get dressed til right before they left at one. Now she is back under her covers IN BED. Alex is using Logan's computer, Gil and W.B. are playing XBOX . Jill has not had any blood work done since her hospitalization . My guess is she is anemic. ORRRRRRRRRRRRR has WORST DEPRESSION than I do. At age fifty, I held a full time job and made wedding cakes...sometimes three on a weekend. DAMN...how did I do that????
Now it seems so foreign to me thinking back on it. There was NO DAY OF REST back then anddddddddddddd I read books and knitted and crocheted and cleaned house and gardened.
WOW! I was AMAZING!!!!
I'll stop tooting my own horn and bid you adieu. (((hugs)))Pat
That's All Folks!
