Cloud Nine

It has been a few days since I blogged. But time flys when you are on cloud nine! Which is where I live now.
I went to Rambo 4-5-6 whatever. It was bloody. I couldn't believe they could make bodies into that many pieces. I watched most of it peeking around my hands which were covering up my eyes. I liked the ending though. The end of a Rambo era.
Gal Pals got together last night for a meal and for Shannon to share her good news. It was fun. We watched an episode of Cesar Millan, The Dog Wishperer, gosh how I love that man!
Tonight I await the new episode of LOST..........

My cup runneth over

My greatest prayer has been answered. By now most of you know that Shannon and Jon are having a baby! They will be the most wonderful parents of that I have no doubt. This baby boy or girl will be so very lucky.

For years now being a Grandma is all I have wished for. But now that my time is near there is more to it than I imagined. Most of my thoughts are incoherent and random. My to-do lists long—sew, embroider, knit—I have no idea where to begin. My days and nights are filled with such utter joy, I can barely sleep. And Grandpa, well he is thrilled too, and working hard so he can keep up with all the bills I will be charging up! I can’t resist all the cute stuff—Baby Love here I come.

All Shook Up

Tonight I was at Shannon's and after dinner she turned on an old Elvis movie-Change of Habit-I was tired and had no intention of staying to watch it but I just couldn't leave. Even though I watched it earlier this week. Lord knows it was no academy award winner...but I loved it. The music was great! Such great songs you just gotta move and goove to.

I have to confess that I am, and always have been, an Elvis lover. He was my dream guy all my life. I had pictures of him (cut out of movie magazines, in those days) taped up all over my room when I was a teen. I had a few other hunky guys on the walls too but none as dreamy as Elvis. I still love his music. And watching his old movies just take me back to a wonderful time in my life.

So Elvis, to me you will always be, my Hunk of Burning Love!

Urgent

Urgent Care--in FL--is an oxymoron. I decided to get help from a doctor for this sore throat. It took literally all day to find a walk in clinic and see a doctor. At least I think he was a doctor--I couldn't understand a word he said. But I opened my mouth and he looked inside and that was pretty much that. But I will say they don't make it easy to be sick here in Florida do they? The first urgent care clinic I stopped at, near the Sawgrass mall, didn't open until 3:00PM. I guess they hope no one around here is urgently sick until the afternoon. The next one I tried was by the Publix on Nob Hill and Oakland. It was closed for an hour for lunch, that should have been my first clue. I waited and when I got inside it looked like a nasty, unclean, make-shift abortion clinic, thankfully they didn't except insurance, it was cash only! I finally ended up at Oakland and Pine Island, where I waited and waited and waited. But thankfully, I brought along a four inch thick book, 2nd in a series that Shannon gave me to read, which I had wanted to get into anyway. New Moon, I finished it that same day. Need I say more. I did get on antibiotics and it helped. I am starting to feel better. Soon I'll be able to Par-ty! And I need too see people, because except for the Vampires in my book, I haven't interacted with humans all week. Wait, Vampires aren't human are they?

even homemade chicken soup didn't work

Been sick--still sick, sore throat, cold...I hate being sick. Haven't seen anyone for days trying not to pass it on.
Today I went to the walk in clinic...took literally all day. By the time I left I was upset and sick.
So I have not had anything exciting happening unless it was in my dreams...and even they are not exciting....
Here is to good health soon.

nothing news worthy

FYI to Ryan...
I hope you didn't think I wanted two pair of jeans to make baby bibs! Not even close. The one pair still looks pretty good...are you sure you want to part with them? Or did I bully you into giving them up? At least it is for a good cause.

My life is so boring--trust me you don't want to hear about it.
Today I am off to have a girls lunch and shopping...so maybe something news worthy will happen. Like I can tell you what we all ordered. Just kidding.
