Thin Skin

I have thin skin and every now and then a little capillary breaks and leaves me a red mark to remind me of how thin it is.  It's a "getting old" thing that I can't help or make better.  My daddy has purple arms from this happening and I guess that is just another gene I inherited from him....These marks don't hurt and I only know they are there when I see them...no warning...they just happen.  Oh the joys of an aging body.  Who knew?

Love this Girl

Carla has been wanting to go to lunch for about a week or so and our schedules have not been matching up but today they did.  We were planning on going to lunch and my mom called and asked me if I would be able to take my dad to get a scheduled MRI since she wasn't feeling well and she didn't want him taking himself.  Of course I would take him....she didn't think I could since I had a lunch planned.  I let her know that lunches are flexible...appointments aren't.  I just asked Carla if she would like to go with me and we could go to lunch after.  She didn't have other plans and so we were able to get in more visiting  which was nice.

My poor daddy though....they said the test would only be 20 minutes and an hour and half later my dad came shuffling out. (he shuffles these days...slow and steady)  They had to try a different way to have him lay since the first way just made his back hurt more than he could bare.  He seemed great when he came out.  I was happy to help my daddy and get to see my mom for a minute when I returned my dad. (wink)  I'm glad mom called and was glad that I could help.

It was fun visiting with Carla.  Carla is a sweetheart with a huge heart.  She is just such a kind person.  I'm glad and honored to be her friend.  I want to always remember that I am on her top 5 list....her hubby put me there and that made me feel good.  I'm not exactly sure what her list is for but I'm honored to be on it. ☺

Carla and I were talking about each of us going to the gym and how we just feel better and she decided to join the gym I go to so that we can go together.  Her and Roger go the base in the evening but she wanted to go with me in the mornings...I'm looking forward to having her go....I know it will make the workout more fun. Love this girl....and all my wonderful friends that inspire me always to be better!

a Stinky post

I don't care what you might call it...a toot, stinker, barking spider, small explosion between the legs, Fred, gas, cutting the cheese, bum burp or whatever other term one might use...I get tired of others doing this around me. (unless it is a child...like my grands....then I laugh or try to comfort them depending on their reaction)  I get it...sometimes one can't help it and those times I understand.  It happens...I know...it happens to me some times.  I also know that one should also have a little more control when it comes to releasing the gas inside.  I hate being in the same room with someone when they are purposely pushing them out.  It totally bugs me!  And for some reason the one doing it thinks it's so funny....but, if the roles were reversed it wouldn't be so funny and they would let me have it.

Why do guys always say that girls are worse?  It's because girls are better at controlling themselves and when a guy notices he makes a big deal out of it...maybe because he was surprised it wasn't his. I also wonder how guys can do lthis on demand...pull my finger...just mention it and they can produce...how does that even happen?

I have failed in this area of parenting.  I have tried to teach my children respect of others and leaving the room if they have to do this. (some got it~others...not so much) No matter how many times I have told my sweetheart I do NOT like going to bed with unpleasant odors in the air or under the covers it continues to happen....it irritates me! We have air freshener by the bed....one should not have to keep air freshener by their bed!  YUCK....GAG....MY PET PEEVE!!!

A few of the males in my family probably own a pair or two of these unders....if not they should!
