Work To Do, Places To Go, People To See

My Mood:  Energetic  (I wish we could fill in that box ourselves instead of picking something from AOL's list.)

I have about 50 construction notes to type for Dennis this morning, a few bills to write, 2 loads of laundry to do, and an errand or two to run to be ready for Cari's birthday tomorrow.  Believe it or not, it feels good to be back in the swing of things and to have a busy day of regular things to do.  I am energized and ready to go. 

The 'bug man' came and sprayed the yard this morning so I had to lock Miss Kasey inside for an hour while the spray settled.  She went from window to window and watched Mr. Bug Man do his job.  She did whine a little but she doesn't bark at him.  He's quiet as he goes about his job unlike the gardener who has those noisy machines that drive her wild.

After finishing the birthday shopping, I have a dreadful errand to run today.  I have to go out and buy a bathing suit.  Oh, My Gosh!!!  That is the last thing I want to do--to put this  body in a bathing suit, eek!  I want to join a water aerobics class with my friend, Felicia and if I'm going to do that I have to wear one of those things.  I don't think they'll let me in the pool in jeans and a t-shirt.  LOL  It could be worse.  I could be 70 pounds heavier like I was last summer.  Wish me luck.  I'm hoping there won't be a lot of crying, sobbing, moaning, screaming and other dreadful noises coming from the dressing room that could alert security.  LOL  I'll try to be brave and deal with this like an adult, I promise!

Tomorrow my baby girl will be 22 years old!  We are taking Cari and her fiance, Sam along with his parents to dinner at a restaurant called Islands for dinner.  From there, Cari and Sam are going to the Angel baseball game.  On Sunday, when we celebrate Father's Day with our son and his family, we will also celebrate her birthday with them.  She likes to spread it out over days and days (just like her mom does).

Well, my work isn't getting done while I'm typing in my journal.  I will close for now.  If I can bring myself to share the details, I will let you know how the bathing suit shopping goes.  LOL.....

Happy Birthday to Cari for tomorrow, I hope you all have a great time.  I`ve mentioned to AOL several times about being able to choose our own mood, theirs are far too limited for me and many others.  So far, despite being told that they are interested, I`ve not heard anything more since! :o(

I'm sure you'll look good in your bathing suit! I lost 70 pounds a few years back and it makes yoiu feel so much different although it takes a long time to think of yourself as slim after being fat all those years! I hope Cari enjoys her birthday meal and you all have  a good time. Jeannette xx
