Friday's Coming!!!

Hello everyone... I hope you're all doing well. I am tired but fine. Ready for the weekend and for some cooler weather. The first is coming.... the second will take a while! lol .... It is just miserable here... But that is summer in Arkansas.

I have a date again this weekend........ with my friend Beck. We are going out for dinner and shopping... that's if we don't pass out from heat exhaustion! But I think we'll manage.

I am so sleepy, I can barely sit here. I thought I'd try to blog a bit... esp since it's been a week since I've been on here! Sorry... been busy.... I know that sounds lame but it's the truth. I'll try to answer all the comments you've all left me and I truly appreciate them all.

Sorry everyone but to be honest, I am really tired and can't keep my eyes open.. I will come back later and blog when I can stay awake... Hugs to all.... Cecil

Hello Again....... Monday, August 4, 2008

I hope everyone is doing well. I am fine... I came home and cleaned house tonight and took care of my kids and then took a good, cool shower. I didn't cool off until I got my shower... that could be because it was over 100 degrees today! Our weather gurus say that we have a slight chance of showers later in the week .. and that that could bring us a little lower temp... in the 90's... I'll take it!!!

I had a good weekend. I worked on Saturday and then went home to freshen up and wait on my friend, Beck. We went to a steak house and ordered lunch... I had a small steak and some fried shrimp.. and a loaded baked potato and dinner rolls.. and Coke to drink... it was so good! We were both starving ... I get a combo meal and the steak is very small and it comes with 4 shrimp.. just enough for me. We left there and went to our mall.. to Bed, Bath, Beyond... I really like going there.... they have the best things there. This time, though, I didn't need anything.. so I waited "til we got to Dilla*rds... I buy my make-up from a place called Ori*gins.. I got an eye shadow and mascara and then we both got hand massages from the ladies... it was so nice! Then they showed us a tiny little bottle .. it smelled wonderful... it is supposed to help de-stress you and even helps with migraines.... Beck got some Saturday night... I waited. We went all through the mall and by the time we left there, we were getting hungry so we went to San Francisco Bread Co. and got a sandwich... then we went to Koh*l's and shopped a bit. They had some tshirts on sale and I got 3... I won't be buying much else for summer.... I have more winter clothes than summer clothes but that's ok... I've been slowly going through my closets and getting rid of some things that I don't wear... I say slowly because I have asthma and almost put myself in the emergency room last year ... I have to be careful with dust and must... But I have to start a little at a time in my big closet so I can have more room ... I think that if I haven't worn it the past year and a half, I'm probably not going to wear it. I'm even going through my shoes... I don't have very many... not compared to others! But anyways, it's a work in progress!!

I got in Saturday night and was so tired that I didn't even take a bath... I washed up and studied my Sunday school lesson and hit the bed! I did get my clothes ready so I would have something ready to wear and could get my shower done and be ready to go eat breakfast with Martha (sister) before church. We had good services at church and then went to Crac*ker Barrel with Martha, her granddaughter, and Diane and Lamar , and Jessica met us there. We had a good lunch and then went to Diane and Lamar's and crashed for a bit. Literally. Martha went to sleep on the couch and I went to sleep in Diane's recliner. Lamar went to their room and Diane went and got on her computer... Bless her, she didn't evict us! I slept for about an hour... I went right to sleep, too. I am on several allergy meds and I get so sleepy around 4 pm and just want to sleep so badly! Everyday. But, of course, I can't do that at work! I am trying to back off of it some to see if that will help.

Today, I wanted to go to the mall and get some of the migraine remedy at Dill*ards so I called Sue and Diane. Diane didn't really want to go to the mall so we went ahead and went and Diane stayed home and rested. We went to see Jessica and Jason and Munchkin. I guess I am biased but she is the cutest baby ever!! She is so funny! I love her so much! I felt the same way about Jessica when she was a baby. We went to Wal-Mart and got a few things and then went back to their house and rested a while and then came home. It was so hot out that I didn't even want to get out again.

Well, I think I've rambled enough. I think this is the longest post I've done in a while. Hope I didn't put everyone to sleep! I'll check back in soon. I do have a request of you all.... Jessica is going for her pre-op tomorrow and then will be having surgery on Friday.... Please pray for her that everything will go well and that this helps her...... I have to work and Diane will take care of Emmy and Lamar and his mom will go with her... And Jason just started his new job, so, he'll have to go to work.... Please pray for traveling safety for them, also..
I hope you are all doing well and that you have a good week. Hugs to all, Cecil
