Ides Of March

Well as you know tomorrow is the last day of March. It has mostly been a very beautiful month, nice weather, balmy days, good old Florida weather.

Going down to the ocean for the weekend to see my family. Looking forward to a relaxing time.

I have been having problems with not wanting to work. It must be my age. Maybe it is time to retire. Sure would be nice but my nice stack of bills say to keep on working.

My brother called tonight and wants us to go to Vegas with him and his wife in August for their 25th anniversary. Would love to go but my husband said we could not afford a trip like that. Think I will start looking on Internet for package deals. It won't hurt to check out what deals I can find.

Only (2) weeks until my trip to New York. Sure would love to see Jersey Boys. Regis says it is a really good show. Hope we will be able to get tickets to see his show. My son has some great plans and I am looking forward to spending time with him.


Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

SERVICE WITH A SMILE

Why is it so hard to order a meal at a drive through window? Went to Steak & Shake on Saturday, ordered a #5, Frisco Melt, Double cheeseburger, Chocolate Shake and a side by side shake. All the sandwiches came all the way and I had to ask for the chocolate shake and had to wait forever. Never again I say, but I know I will go back.

Had lunch with family Sunday at Red Lobster on Sand Lake Road. I think the one on Colonial has much better food. We all enjoyed being together. Charles had his usual crab legs. Charlene and I had the Lobster Lovers Dream. Mac and his Mother had the
Lobster and Steak. My Mother would not go with us as usual, oh well.

Talked to both my sons this weekend. I always enjoy that!

Granny said she only had (2) packs of cigarettes left and I told her she should have enough until March 30th, but she doesn't. So of course being the wonderful daughter I am, I brought her (4) cartons. She's good until May 4th. Sure wish she would quit smoking but she won't. I guess that is all the pleasure she has left in her life. Of course there is a little more to the story, but I can't tell all.

Not much on TV this weekend so I am all caught up. TiVo has some new features and I really like them. Hurry home Bobby so you can try them out. Just waiting for them to get where you can record more than (1) at a time and then it is bye bye DVR from Brighthouse. All I've had is trouble with it and now it is messing up again.

Looking forward to my trip to New York, but worried about the luggage getting lost. Maybe I'll just mail my clothes to my son! LOL

Charlene showed me some pictures she took at the wedding and I must say she looked great and my Grandson looked like a little gentleman or a spy as he said, really very cute.

God has blessed me with my children and my grandson and also my "adopted " kids are great too!!!!

That is all for now. Have a super special week.

SAD !!!

OK He was Chicken Little or a nerd but he was cute. Kevin got voted off American Idol. I admit that I shed a few tears, he was really cute, has a good voice, just not what people want their idol to be. At least Paula did not appear to be high on this show as she has on so many others.

Today is the day JR and Babe and Adam and Crystal are going to get hitched. Again!!!Will someone see Dixie? Can't wait to see what happens next.

Hopefully I have found someone to come to my house to fix my Mothers hair, will let you know later.

Blessings and happiness to all!

Have a wonderful day!

My Kind Of Music

OK you American Idol fans. Last night was kick ass. I really enjoyed the music. I really liked Mandisa, Kelly (one of my very favorite songs), Katherine, Ace, and I even liked Taylor. Just not crazy about Paris, there is something about her that just makes me want to gag. Can't wait for the results tonight.

Have a super special day, enjoy life, make a friend!

Family addition

What wonderful news! Kai is finally coming home!!! Congratulations Christy and John.
What a wonderful birthday present for John. Happy birthday and enjoy your new son. Can't wait to meet him.

Not much going on at the home place. Finally got Mom (Granny) out of the house. We went to Red Lobster Saturday night for dinner and it was a very enjoyable evening. Thanks to Sharon and Butch for a great lunch on Sunday.

Not much happening on the soaps, just the usual messing around. Why can't Kendall and Zach get together? You can feel the chemistry between them, tell Ryan to get lost, he needs Greenlee back, they were a cute couple, find him someone else!
Sonny and Elizabeth move on, it will never work, too many issues, family problems,
no one fits Sonny like Carly, ok maybe Brenda but she's gone. Robin get a guy, you need some loving. Are you tired of Sam and Jason, I am. The spark seems to be gone.
Kevin and Kelly get it right or move on. Duke look around, there must be someone else for you.

The weather is still beautiful, Sunday was just a great day.

Planning to visit my son in NY in April. Sounds like he has a good time planned for me. Looking forward to spending a week with him for Bobby and Mom time. I miss our time together.

Hoping all my friends and family a wonderful life, enjoy your time with friends and family because you never know what the next day will bring. Love and laughter to all!

Dinner With Friends

Went out to dinner with eight friends tonight. We met at Olive Garden, the salad was wondeful as usual, breadsticks with alfredo sauce was yummy, dinner was just so so, the spaghetti was a little dry and hard, like it had been setting there for a while. We had a good time talking and laughing.

Have not seen all my shows today but the ones I saw were just blah.

Hope all my friends and family are enjoying life, love to all of you!

Update for Friday & Saturday

Received a very nice surprise on Friday afternoon. My son sent me a package from the Big Apple. I got a book, post card, and some yummy candy cigarettes, which I love. He also sent some "60" candy for his Dad. Thank you so much.

While shopping on Saturday at the check out line the gentleman in front of me was using food stamps and he came up short $25.81. So of course I did my random act of kindness. The best part was I didn't have to wait in line for them to find a manager or to void and re ring his whole order which saved me time and a headache. Also one point in his favor was he had food not junk so I really felt good helping him. The cashier was so relieved that I paid because it saved her a huge mess. The message here is "it does pay to help someone in need".

Be kind to someone this week!

Good Times

What a wonderful weekend so far. Had a really great lunch with Sharon, then shopping for essentials (bras). Found (2) that I liked.

Dinner and a movie with (2) of my kids. Went to Roma Ristorante in Apopka, the very best lasagne you will ever taste, then on to The West Theater for a movie. We saw Walk The Line and it was super. Joaquin & Reese both should have gotten the Oscar,
of course she did but he also gave a stellar performance. Thank you so much Christy and John for inviting me.

Today is catch up day, wash towels, clothes, pay bills, get things ready for CPA, just all fun things, yea sure!

Just wanted to mention (1) of my favorite shows Boston Legal, if you don't watch this show you should. It is one of the best on TV, always funny and entertaining with just enough truth to be real.

AMC will Janet go back to her planet? Poor Uncle Pork Chop gone but not forgotten.
Do you think Jamie might really love Amanda? Who knows! Tad please find Dixie before David. Josh is Erica #2, he really is a Kane man!!!

OLTL Tess get over yourself, enough is enough. Clint & Vickie find out what happened and get another story line going. Paige tell Bo what is going on, maybe he can help, after all he is a "Buchanan" police commissioner.

GH Sonny & Emily over before they really began, whatever! Carly look at the baby,
he is a Cassadine! Enough all ready Alexis and Sam find out, hate each other and move on.

Got to run find a box so I can put some things in the mail for someone special, wonder who that is???

Enjoy the rest of the week end.

Chit Chat

Well, not sure I agree with the results of American Idol. Gabriel really had a good voice. The girls well that was ok.

Will Dixie ever show her face on AMC, Janet told everyone she was alive. Will they believe her? Maybe Tad will use his detecting skills and find her. Zach please get back together with Kendall, there were fireworks between you, of course Zach has
that certain something that everyone loves.

OLTL, poor Duke, in love with his step-mother, what will he do? Will Kevin ever be able to get a woman to stay with him? Blair find Todd and get back with him.

GH, ok Carly another man, what are you thinking? I don't think Sonny and Emily will be together very long, so sad. At least Lucas has his man!!

Today my husband is having more Basal Cell Cancer removed from his face!! Stay out of the sun, it can kill you. When we are young we are all sun worshipers and then we pay as we get older. Be careful of sun exposure!!

The weather here is beautiful.

Looking forward to dinner and movie with two of my kids this weekend. We are going
to Roma Ristorante, we went there when my older son was a toddler. The owners would take him back to the kitchen and get all the spaghetti off him. The Mother and her
daughters still run the place, can't wait to finally go back.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend.

Fun

Went to lunch with two of my kids Christy & John, and had a very nice time. Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants. Christy really liked the baby gifts Bobby and I got for Kai.

I tried a new place for a pedicure Saturday afternoon. They did a good job.


I tried to get caught up on my recorded shows and I did. ER is still a good show,but I did not enjoy this weeks program as much as usual.

The soaps were just so so. Dixie got shot but no one except Zach has seen her. What is Zach going to do? I really don't want to see Ryan and Kendall back together, oh well!

Do you think Michael & Morgan will catch Sonny and Emily in a compromising position? I do!!!

Talked to both my boys this weekend so that made my heart happy. All i did Sunday was sleep, read, and watch TV, enjoyable.

Hope everyone had a super weekend and that this week will bring happiness and fun for all.

OK so I watched One Tree Hill. What a powerful show. Remember we all have feelings, be kind to someone, make a new friend, show compassion, life is not always a bowl of cherries. I thought the entire cast did a great job, but someone needs to do away with Dan. He is a SOB!

American Idol was good. I was glad to see Brenna leave because she was "too something"...hard to describe exactly what, but too something! Heather was just soso. However I did like David, of course I like the golden oldies. Sway needed to be gone. I never did like his voice. I did think Paula was just a little stoned on something. She is too weird sometimes.

Jury Duty was one long day in the assembly room. I never got called to a case. The seating was horrible and I could not get comfortable, but I did my civic duty for the year.

The ABC soaps were ok today. On AMC I thought Simone was a little overdressed for Ethans' funeral. I wonder if Dixie ever show her face? On OLTL, Todd was up to his old tricks. I hope he finally gets Spencer. On GH the funeral for Courtney was nice. Poor Nicholas, at least he did look hot today.

What do you think?
