A Picnic.  Of Sorts.

Hair Today.  Gone Tomorrow?

by Matilda on 02.06.07 at 01:00 PM See more in Life •

I just confirmed my Thursday hair cut appointment.  It’s been seven weeks since my hair has been trimmed!  I usually get it trimmed every three weeks.  Yesterday and today I can say; “I don’t need a hair cut” with confidence.  Sure as I cancel that appointment I’ll wake up with bed head that will embarrass me at the gym.  And then again, perhaps not.  What’s a girl to do?

R.I.P.

My copy machine died this morning.  Considering I’ve had it since the Golden Valley house, it’s served me long and well.  I’m not going to replace it just yet as I’m wondering if my scanner won’t suffice.

It’s All About the Frogs

by Matilda on 02.04.07 at 12:12 PM See more in Life •

60 minutes, 3.53 miles:  A quick 1.25 miles of PodRunner followed by Grey’s Anatomy; “Thanks for the Memories”.  Yes, Mom; I went to church.  My head is spinning with thoughts of frogs.

Open Wide and say; “Happy Birthday!”

I took Avery to the Dentist.  We had lunch and a nap.  Picked up pizza and celebrated her second birthday with my Mom and Dad.

Cancel the Moving Van

I met with a Listing Agent regarding my house this afternoon.  There are currently 19 lakeshore homes for sale in my price range. The house next door remains unsold though it’s been on and off the market for most of three years now.  The widow on the corner is listing her house next week.  I won’t list mine until the other two on my street are sold.  I think I’m going to be here a while.  I can’t say I’m terribly disappointed.

Make up your mind, Girl !

Today I’m thinking I don’t want to move.  At least not until Coco, if not Hanna as well, is gone.

I have my cake, but I’m not eating it.

I think Mr.B enjoyed getting to know my friend GJ over dinner last night.  I won’t be sharing the banana orange layer cake recipe.  That was a lot of work with a marginal result.  Though the Guys were a good sport about it last night.  The frosting was way too runny and even though I thought I fixed that problem, the resulting frosting was so slippery the top layer kept sliding off the bottom.

Busy!  Busy!  Busy!

I worked for a while today.  On my way home I stopped at the grocery store for the first time since I can’t remember when.  I made two pans of lasagna, eight loaves of banana bread and two banana orange layer cakes while Mr.B made the salad and planted more future salad makings.  A productive day!  It needed to be as tomorrow will be busy with church in the morning, Steinway Artist Larry Dalton’s concert benefiting the Smile Network in the afternoon and we’ve got guests coming for dinner.

The Universe Delivers Yet Again

by Matilda on 01.27.07 at 04:35 PM See more in Life •

I am blessed!  There are three women I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, one of them I’ve had no contact with for years, another just under a year and the last I’ve not seen at the gym since before the holidays.  I went so far as to rejoin the Knitters’ Guild as that’s where I originally met the first one.  Last evening I received an email from Shelley; seems I’ve been on her mind as well.  We spent hours on the phone this afternoon and will spend Wednesday evening over our knitting and coffee.  While I was never really close to the second woman, she’s been on my mind too often to ignore.  I have to respect that “someone” is trying to tell me something and I will call her this week.  I called Terri yesterday to learn she’s fine and she’s been to the gym just not at the usual day/time.  I caught her with her husband enjoying the beach in Florida and we have plans to get together when she returns.

Encouraged by a new Motley Fool program, today I dived back into the Stock Market.

Happy! Happy! Happy!

The Hope Chest for Breast Cancer was happy to come and pick up my dining room chairs.  I’m even happier to have them gone - I never did like those blasted things!  On another happy note:  My Lawyer postponed this afternoon’s appointment until next week.

Nightmares

Avery spent the night.  The first words out of her mouth upon waking; “Cottage Cheese All Gone!”.  Oh, the horror!  That explains her crying in her sleep.  I assured her this morning, we have plenty of cottage cheese and even went so far as to show her the two cartons in my refrigerator.

Hello?  Hello?  Hello?

Every day my phone rings once and I miss a call from 541.617.XXXX.  When I press redial, I always get a busy signal.  Today I finally tried a reverse lookup of the number and find it’s assigned to BMW North America.  Weird.
