۞ Sweet Interruptions ۞168

The balloon is down.. no child in it :((

Forget Dave Cindy.... lots of other fish in the ocean ;)

Will be interesting to find out where the child is.......someone has created quite a to do!

Trisha, I just hope the elder brother lied and hid him somewhere to play a joke on his parents.

Me too Jaye.

OMG!!!! If he did he will be in soooooooo much trouble. My mom had left the tv on in the living room and I happened to walk out there just as the ballooon hit the ground.

Hmmm.. they should give the child immunity :D

Still no sign of the little boy, I do hope it was a joke, and he did n ot fall out of it somewhere?

I do hope the boy surface somewhere.

Kel's treating me to a new restaurant. He hopes it might lift up my spirits. But I think it's self serving.. he's been wanting to try it :D

See you later, hope the boy's alive.

They found him!!!!

I don't watch TV much and miss out on all the news. Where did they find the boy? Sometimes I'm glad I miss a lot of the news so I don't start the worry business up again.

Looks like we are in for some very warm weather again. It was pretty warm today . Guess no more rain in store for us for a while. Went out to try and get rid of more weeds and I just don't like playing in the mud. The iron gate is up and now I have to get out there and put my little peat pots in the ground. Almost every seed has popped up now. I think I may have to put some string up too to help the little darlings along. Still have the other half of the bed to clear up. Got a mandevilla on sale at Lowe's so have to find a place for that.

It was warm here today. We hit the record high for this date of 99 degrees. The last heat record was 98 in 1962. Needless to say, we still have the AC units running
They found the little boy in the attic of the garage hiding, because he knew he messed up, by letting the balloon go! Just glad to hear he is safe and sound. His bottom may be a little sore, but he is home!

(whispering) pssst-can I come out of the corner yet??

Oh Stacey, you are more than welcome to peek your head out! I would be jumping up and down, yelling, HERE I AM!

Love ya girl, and we all miss you dearly.
Welcome back!

STACEY!!!!! Yes! We have missed you very much and are happy to see you back!! No whispers here!

Welcome Back, Stacey!

No whisper there neither! Can't tell you how much we've missed you!

What corner?? Thought it's only for Maid M :D

Oh darn I missed her. SATCEY!!!! Oh my gosh so good to hear from you.

I think they should wait till he's 17 to punish him. Ground him till he graduates!!

Pegi, it's still raining here. Not too thrill now with the mud puddles. I quit fighting with weeds. The temps are supposed to be back to the 80's next week, and I told Kel not to plan anything but mulching.

Keep your 99 LK!! It's bad enough every other week, the temps yoyo from 60's to 80's. Then night temps hit 40's and 70's. Plants don't know whether to be green or to sleep :(

The new restaurant is opened by a French and Cambodian couple. They chose this small town, about 20 minutes away, to showcase their fine cuisine.
I had seared sea bass with basil and tomatoes and Kel had porterhouse pork with marsala sauce. I can't believe the quality of food served.
Trisha, their vege beef soup to die for! They use rich veal stock!
I just can't believe a top chef from Washington, DC, deciding to expand herself in an unknown redneck town.
The restaurant was packed too! Kel and I that frequent the other restaurants in that town, do not recognize the patrons. We wondered where this clientele came from. Then we remembered that this town has a courthouse.. ahh.....hence the 'elite diners'.

Hehehehe.. we were in jeans... t-shirts... compared to elegant silks and suits!

Jaye, sounds like you had a great meal! Don't they make silk t-shirts? LOL!

OK-if it's OK then I will come out of the corner now. No shouting though please....tee hee hee....

Well, to say that I missed you ladies is an understatement. I am sorry that I kind of retreated into solitude. I need to be introspective when I feel bad. Words of kindness don't do what they are intended to do, so it's easier to just be by myself. Please understand if I am reluctant to talk about myself very much.

I would love to know what all I missed. How are my fave Aunties doing?????

LK-how is Andy?? I am so lame-I made him a thanky card and all and still have it sitting on my Fing desk-I swear if my butt wasn't attached I would leave it behind more often than not. Let him know that I get compliments on my tat all the time and I always tell them that my wonderful friend and her son did me one of the biggest favors ever so I could have it. I have my next one planned already-tee hee hee

Stacey, so glad you are back with us. I will tell him next time I talk to him. He is doing so much better. Thank God he had no internal damage.
I am so glad you like your tattoo, and are hooked on them. Another fairy I presume?
Sleep tight everyone!

Stacey, I respect your privacy. I'm just glad you decide to return to the ones that love you unconditionally.
By the way, I'm still enjoying your boxes.

Project Runway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good night LK!

Tante-it isn't about privacy really-not in the sense that I want to be secretive, it's more like there are things I don't want to explain or can't explain to myself most days even-not sure if that makes any sense.

LK-nope-I want a butterfly over my left shoulder where it connects to my arm and goes down my bicep while reaching behind my shoulder a little-like it's wrapping it's wings around me. I am not sure if I want it all in black, or if I want a thick black outline with blending colors tapering throughout it.....

It's the butter on that hot guys back


OOOOO-so a funny-I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and this guy followed me the whole way-ewwwww!!!

Yea Stacey, that is cool. I really like that

Thanks-if you look at the first book-Geryon I think-that is kinda how I want it. Not that ginormous though....

I like just like it is. kinda sexy wicked like, lol

LOL-kinda what I;m going for-I like both things and would love to have more of that in me...

PTL!!!!!! My favorite Tinky is back with us. BTW, I will share the corner with someone like you but if I happen to find a certain pirate there--you go!!! LOL

Jaye, the dinner sounds so good--I sure hope they make a success of it where it is located. Sometimes I get so tired of the usual places and just want to go to a nice restuarant, get dressed up and dine rather than eat--if you follow me thinking.

I am tired, met son and the youngest GD for dinner and she wore me out!! I still don't know where the energy comes from with that one.

Oh my how much better I will sleep tonight knowing our Tink is back. Love you gal!!

LOL, good to talk with you but I'm falling asleep. Been up since 4:30 TTYL

Stacey, if it's any comfort, I've been there years ago. Wanted to be left alone by family, through no fault of theirs, just some issues I had to deal with without explaining to anyone or having others involved. Can I say, I isolated myself from them for almost a year?
I was lucky that they didn't ask why or what, when I started resuming normal relationship with them. They knew, when the time is right, I will return.
And when I did, like the prodigal son that has returned in the bible, I was feted. That's unconditional love.
We can surely celebrate your return.

After what went on at the doctor's office this morning, after this, I know I'll go to bed with a smile.

Good night sweet ladies.

Morning everyone! Coffee is on. How about some sausage biscuits to go with it!
Stacey, that is a beautiful tattoo, and would look so pretty wrapped around your shoulder.
Off to the dentist is a bit, see you all later.

T.G.I.F.

Stacey!!! My God girl you have been missed. So glad you are back and like Jaye I know what you mean. I tend to do the same thing sometimes. It's easier to stay inside myself then open up to the outside world.

Pegi I'm like you. I don't watch the news or read the paper. Just too much angst that I can't do a thing about and it wears me down. I hate being helpless.

It has been raining here for over 36 hours. I want to go look in the rain gauge, but I don't want to go out. The poor dog hates the rain. So I have to shove her outside where she stands and looks at me with those big brown eyes like I just tried to hurt her or something. So glad this is just rain. If it was a little bit colder we would be in deep doo doo.

Later girls!
Juanita

Welcome back, Stacey! Glad you're doing better!
Had an early dinner Man. right on the lake and watched all the little brown ducks swimming around, and some beautiful white egrets! I think there were a few of the other ones, too. Sooo peaceful, among all the lily pads!

Sorry to hear about your checkup Jaye. It sounds like the pump may be the thing for you
Welcome back Stacey. It's good to see that name again....

oh boy..... we sure are Sistahs!
I too, retreat into my own thoughts. I told my daughter, if she doesn't hear from me, it's because it's something I have to deal with, and I know people are not ready to hear me whine lol

I never read the paper. As you say, too much angst in the world. I heard once that the best adjusted people are those who Don't read the paper. I prefer to smile & laugh rather than go around looking worried with the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Sure glad I have my sistahs though. I can listen to/support you "till the cows come home" and it's human-to-human......

Much nicer to share with sistahs, than get dumped on by an overwhelmning newspaper. they hardly ever write positive stories - those don't sell ad space LOL
At least WE have our Ups as well as Downs

Love,
Susan

Susan-It's nice to meet you.....

Jaye-what pump?? Is it an insulin pump?? My cousin has type 1 and has a shunt that feeds into her belly that basically feeds her a continuous supply and she can regulate the flow after testing to make sure it's balanced. She's had it since she was 15-she's 18 now...

LK-Now I just have to get back to TX so I can come have Andy do this one for me too:) I did learn that I don't want this next one anywhere near my armpit though-that part hurt like a mother last time!!

I found with the last one that it gave me a certain sense of freedom and opened up a piece of myself that has been dormant most of my life. Even when I feel like everything else about me is horrific, I can turn and see a representation of beauty that will always be with me. It helps to chase away some of the ugliness inside some days.

HEY Juanita, Barb & Audrey!!!

I'm glad you can understand. I have thought more about myself and what I want and need in the past few months than ever before. I always seem to put everyone else's happiness before my own and rarely think about things that chip away at what is inherently me. I think that for a long time now people and things have been slowly chipping away at me and I used a jovial exterior to hide the way I truly felt. Even now I find myself doing that when around others. I don't really know how to stop except when I am by myself. That is when I can be totally honest about who I am and what I need and want.

I tend to surround myself with music that reflects my mood. DH thinks I;m pulling away from him because I don't want to spend endless hours watching TV with him (that is all he ever does). Instead I would rather be reading or writing. I think that I like to spend my free time this way since it actually causes my brain to work (and sometimes I feel like I loose intelligence every day) and because it is something that is more mine.

Sorry If I'm not making any sense.....

BTW-what's going on with Kathy, Deborah, and BJ??

Tink, makes perfect sense. One should always do things to keep their brain going and not stagnate. I think that is why I got so involved with learning how to use the computer back a few years. It is also part of the maturing process believe it or not. Boy, it is so good to see that name pop up now. Loves us and one of these days we are going to take on Disney!!!!!

Kathy has been sick a lots lately--in and out of the hospital several times; Deborah is down to only Larry's computer the last I heard and no clue what happened to BJ. I do know BJ has 2 exchange students living with her this time--2 girls so that might be keeping her really busy. Sure miss all of them!!!!!!!!! Cookie pops in and out.
