>This is how much money the students at Beacon High raised in the month of November. This means that some of the male teachers are getting shaved. Yep, they promised. And one security guy said he would shave his head. Tomorrow they are having a ceremony where the check for $2,102.41 is going to be presented (I got the amount off the picture) and the press is going to be there and a bunch of important people. Tigger is one of the students that has been chosen to speak to the press. So Em took him shopping so he will look really good.

Yesterday, when I came upstairs for dinner he was standing in the dinning room and asked me if he smelled ‘pretty’, yes that is the word he used. Em had bought him some cologne. He had just dabbed it on so it wasn’t too heavy and it smelled nice.

>I am up

>and showered. Of course, Gwen was already up and dressed by the time I got up. I think she really wants to go to the meeting! Tee, Hee. We both know why, and she would positively kill me if she knew I was making this public! In a minute I have to get dressed but in that minute . . .

You see I have changed my template for this blog. I had to for the background. I decided since I like black, I am using it on my blogs. Black and purple. I had to change the color of the font so you could see it. And I widened the sidebar ’cause Sassy’s picture was cut off. What else? Oh I added a line break to the Subscribe to …. widget because it was cut off. Now I don’t want to go with the 3 column format. I like it the way it is now.

>Once Again

>I have stayed up too late. After not sleeping well last night and missing the book study this morning.

Em, Gwen and I went out today. She wanted her hair done. So Gwen and I dropped her off and went to Macy’s to make an appointment to get a makeover for Gwen. Yes, she has decided to start wearing makeup. Em put some on her last Wednesday and she liked how she looked. So she had her makeup done. Then she decided she needed a new top to go with her new look, and she picked out a red top. We are so happy, she looks so good in it. Then we went for lunch, she was so happy she paid for lunch. Unfortunately, I got another migraine, or sinus headache, anyway, I started feeling bad and nauseous and my sinuses were hurting and discharging dark brown mucus.

After we got home I didn’t do much else besides sit in my room and play with my blog. Well, I did lie down and sleep for a while.

Cookie sent me an e-mail with some sad news, very sad, but not unexpected. Now I have to go to bed. Gwen wants to go to Fishkill’s meeting tomorrow, to show off her new look to someone there.

Home today

Filed under: Beauty, Health, Miscellanea, Weather
August 11, 2008

Didn’t go to work today, just not up to it. It poured here, thunder, lightning and hail. Stitch had my car and couldn’t come home because of the storm.

When M got home yesterday, the house was clean enough to satisfy her. Today I have done two loads of laundry for her.

Gwen and I played Rummikub too. I need to go to Allsport, I can’t remember the last time I went. I might be back later.

I am home now, in my room and it is cold. I feel like lying down with my book, but I am afraid I will fall asleep, I really need to log my food in the WW points tracker. Speaking of WW, my weight this morning was 137.6, 2 more pounds lost. M grilled burgers for dinner. She also sliced some tomatoes from her garden, they were very red! At this rate, I might be below 135 in another month. I am calculating the total from when I recommitted which includes a gain one week. I will be happy if I am 135 by next month. Yeah, keep saying that, I might believe it.

Em’s epilator came today, she had to charge it before she could use. I don’t know if she has yet, I will let you know when she lets me know. I told her about the one I saw at Target and didn’t get and she said she had seen one and thought it would be too big to use on your face, even though it said you could use it on your face. I had thought that also of the one I saw at Target, the one I got is prettier too. When I brought the box out, Tigger wanted to know what it was, Em said, “It’s my present, my new toy.” I hope it works well for her, maybe Gwen will use it too.

Soda bottles

Filed under: Beauty, Cleaning, Environment, Weather
July 23, 2008

I have been taking my soda bottles, you know the empty ones on my desk, I have been taking them two at a time to the recycle bin to get rid of them. I wonder if anyone will notice when they are all gone. Nobody has said anything yet. I get a little thrill, thinking I am sneaking them out without anyone noticing.

This weekend is the D.C. so I am planning on leaving at 2 to get my hair done. I will have to send an e-mail to BE to let him know because STS is not here.

There was something I was going to say about Tigger, but I can’t remember right now, he must have stayed home today because of the rain. It was raining when I left for work.

8-)

It was raining when I got to the salon, and when I left it was a thunderstorm, pouring rain and the sky was being lit up, scary! Through all of this, Tigger was texting me constantly about going to Staples and getting him replacement stylus for his PDA. I told him don’t text me I can’t text and drive in the rain, he thought I could, I told him not when there is lightning and it is a monsoon! Staples had the stylus he wanted but not the stuff I was looking for. I now have to check at Best Buy.

It has been my week for dropping things on the floor. Yesterday the Laffy Taffy, today, I bought a new bookmark at Borders. It is metal with string and ribbons attached and on the strings are beads. I dropped the staples as I was trying to get the bookmark off the card, the staples that attached to the card in the store, then when I put the bookmark in my book, some of the beads came off and went onto the floor. I rescued them, put them back on the string and then used some of my special adhesive to keep them there.

On a positive note, I remember to take Blue Diary with me to the salon so I got some of it read. And I have no gray hair. Just in time for the convention.

Yesterday

Filed under: Beauty, Family N Friends
July 22, 2008

the train let us off on the old platform. I don’t know why, track work probably. This is the second time this has happened, the other time I was able to sneak up on Stitch. The way M parks when she is waiting, she saw me coming. I also do not know why I didn’t write about this yesterday. Maybe because I was upset about Stitch not returning my car until late.

Today Stitch came to get me, he was a little late and it was raining. Oh well. Tomorrow and Thursday he will not have my car. Friday we go to Newburgh. I am going to the hair place tomorrow to see how much it will be to get my roots touched up.

Tigger came downstairs and as I was going in my room he mentioned that ‘we’ need more Reisen. We do huh? I went to Allsport. I was hoping I could be quick enough to get to Staples before they closed but I didn’t. So I went to Target. I bought that purse I was looking at and it just fits my stuff. Not the perfect purse of course, but close. Then I got some re-writable CDs and a case to put my CDs in, about time, considering Sassy was the one that broke my old one. I also got “honking” big bag of LaffyTaffy and a bag of Reisen. I don’t remember if that is the correct spelling right now I don’t care. I sent Tigger a text that I was at Target, I told him I got CDs and a case to put them in. He said why? I could almost see him thinking, we get downloads from Amazon cheaper, why would she buy CDs? Then I explained they were blank so I could put music on them for my car. I didn’t mention the candy. He didn’t ask, so I had to tell him I got two bags. Then when I was opening the bag to put them in the container, it broke and I ended up with LaffyTaffy all over my floor. As I was scooping them up, all I could smell was the fruitiness of them.

Now I really need to get to bed, I have brushed my teeth, washed my face, taken out my contacts, taken my medicine, I didn’t clean Butterscotch’s litter box. I will do that tomorrow. Since the rain cooled things down, it doesn’t smell so bad tonight. I have some Pepsi points to enter then I will go to bed.

Memorial Day

Filed under: Beauty, Family N Friends, Health, Technology
May 26, 2008

My computer was giving me fits last night, it was trying to install updates and wouldn’t shut off. So today I turned it on then unplugged it. When the battery died, I plugged it in and started it, and now I can use it. I just wanted to get this started before I went to get my car washed and get Stitch at his friend’s house. I will be back later to tell you about my pink toenails.

First thing today I vacuumed Amita, I used the car vac, it was O.K. I want to take it to the car wash and use the super duper one but I ran out of time today, it will have to be done next week. Tigger and Fred had fun beating my floor mats. Then I went to Allsport, but I watched NCIS so I didn’t have time to take it to the car wash, I forgot Allsport was closing at 1:30. Then I went for a pedicure, the special was for a manicure and pedicure so I got both. I got a bright pink polish on both, it is almost red, so I guess I should say it is dark pink, not bright. Anyway, I like it. One of the toenails was dinged already before I left the salon, but I didn’t feel like staying to get it fixed. I will dab some light red on it and nobody will notice.

The family was back from Patterson when I got home from the salon. But M. was taking Stitch up to his friend’s, he is tutoring him in math. I was in my room when she got back and so didn’t see her before she left for P.s so she didn’t get to see my nails.

When I was going up to get him, and make all my stops along the way, I drove right past the W ATM, so I drove around in a circle to get some money. Then I got the car washed, then I stopped at Borders. Stitch wanted me to “take my time”. So I took as long as I could without actually reading a book at Borders. Then when I got to his friend’s, he took forever to get out. I sent this e-mail to this blog: “I am sitting in front of his friends place and he is taking forever. I am really getting annoyed. Ok he called and said he is coming. Well he has to drive now because my stomach is hurting bad.” 7:24:00 pm

He didn’t have a problem with driving and I showed M my nails when I got home, she likes the color, M and D are going to Hawaii next year for their anniversary, Mark S told them where they could get tickets really cheap, they have to go in February, but so what? They will just have to celebrate early.

My back still HURTS!

Filed under: Beauty, Health
April 3, 2008

From last Saturday, and I aggravated it Tuesday by moving the washing machine. Well, it was in my way and it was empty so I thought it would be alright. I got my hair done, and Wednesday the sewing machine place called to tell me my machine was fixed and sewing beautifully. So I left work early, back hurting, tummy hurting, falling asleep still, went to Allsport, did 15 minutes on the AMT so I could get to S-N-V and then up to get Stitch and Gwen, I was there early and of course they got out late.

We went to Fishkill tonight since we missed last night. Next week we have to go Wednesday because Stitch has a talk. I really want to read some more in my book but I really should go to bed. I want to know what Gill did to Alison.

My beads came today. They are so pretty, this necklace is going to look so nice.

Well, time to sign off.

Stuff

February 9, 2008

I don’t know what I really want to say today. I missed my bookstudy, went to Border’s then to the Library. I picked up two books I had on hold “On Chesil Beach” by Ian McEwan and If You Love Me, You Will Do My Will by Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth. I also went on the computer and posted some to WW website.

Tonight Stitch and I might go to a concert. He needs to go for a class he is taking but the roads might be icy. We will see. I have the address in my GPS so we will not have a problem finding it.

I just patched up my nails. You know I just dabbed nail polish in the spots where I picked it off.

Right now I am watching CSI, the original Las Vegas version. I like all of them except for the Miami one. Only because of Horatio. I can’t remember the actor’s name. Anyway, I am pretty bored just sitting here watching TV. I need to do something. I have no idea what since the polish on my nails has not set yet. I think I will check the WW board one more time then get some M&M’s to nibble on. Soon I will have to get ready to go to the concert. I wish I had a big enough purse to put a book in.

M and kids are going to Patterson for tour and lunch. They are having salmon. That is one reason I am not going. I am trying to work up the energy to go work out. It is not easy when Tigger keeps sending me text messages. I really should go. I haven’t formally exercised since Hector was a pup.

I don’t know who Hector is, I just know that is an expression my Mom always said. Or was it M who always said that?

Well, I think I will go now. I am just going to make myself go.

Hi all. I got back from the gym, had a nice time, didn’t have to rush so after my shower put my color stuff on my hair and spray on leave in conditioner and combed it (my hair is so thick and long it takes me 10 minutes to do that). I was getting ready to post here and my friend got home and wanted to go to the mall, so I left with her. First we got manicures. I haven’t had one in so long, I had forgotten how nice my nails look polished. Then we went to the mall and did a little shopping, some walking around, I got some blush at Sephora, she got cooking stuff for her and the little chef at W&S. We stopped for ice cream on the way home, (yes ice cream, it was warm in the ice cream shop) and after dinner she made pumpkin muffins. So that was my day.
