Well, I want to stay around here and clean on the house to get ready for my surgery next Wednesday. I want to have a nice, clean house when I leave and one to come home to afterwords. We would still probably have a pizza and watch a movie on Saturday night. I should be kind of done cleaning by then, but, who knows. lol And then hubby and I could spend some time together, alone, just eating pizza, watching a movie and "making out"! lol We may be married over 36 years, but, we are still madly in love with each other. Now, here's the problem...Hubby says no working for me this weekend. I am suppose to just rest and play the part of a queen. Yea, right. lol I guess we will see.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Love, Jeanne ♥

making out and being so in love. I hope Simon and I are like that at 36 years. Have a very good, relaxing weekend, Jeanne. And, YES, you are the queen, so you should act like one!

Mimi

Jeanne,
While it is nice to have the house all spanky clean, maybe you can just give it a general going over and then use the rest of the weekend to indeed be queen. The dirt will still be there next week and the week after. I am so less interested in cleaning than I was. My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be homey. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
And how nice that you will go out to your little park. If you can't find that specific tree then just use any strong looking substitute. Lean away and let the cares flow from you.
Isn't it nice to still be so in love after all this time? Den and I are still also very much in love. He completes me and I complete him.
Stef

And I love it. Keep it up, ladies.

Mimi

So nice Stef and Jeanne that you guys have the "loves of your life"! I feel like I do too and it is wonderful! He is my best friend, lover, partner and my husband, all in one!

We are! I am sure that Simon and you will feel the same way and still be desperately in love with each other too after 36 years.

Love, Jeanne ♥

I like your story! I think I might just start living by it! Ok? lol

And yes, it is nice to still love each other as much and more as the day we met. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him and still feel the same way. So very happy that Den and you are the same. It is rare anymore you know! And, I like being rare!

Love, Jeanne ♥

And I'm sure you would look hot in your s.k.a.n.k.y. outfit, too! Have a great time at the casino and at the concert! Rock on.

My daughter who is 34 took all my Cat Stevens, Melanie, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Beatles, and most everything else of ours. She loves that music and the current music, and opera, musical theater, belly dance, jazz, classical and international music of all kinds. She just loves music. It nice to share a love of music with your kids, nieces, nephews and the younger generations.
My weekend plans are tomorrow Den and I will go to Denise's and help her pack boxes for her move across the street. And we will watch the kids while she and Kyle move the boxes.
On Sunday, I am going back to our storage and continue the downsize. We are hoping to have just a few things left and we will move them into a much smaller and less expensive unit.
Not too exciting but that's okay. Eventually it will all be done and Den and I will relax in our new little house in the country. When we are settled we are getting fishing licenses and Linda and Den and I are going to learn to fly fish. And we plan to go with her to Las Vegas in the spring and to Yosemite also.

We are going over to some friends house for a small dinner party. Really looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun. And, I don't even have to take anything. Except we are taking a bottle of wine and some fresh flowers.

Sunday's are just our lazy, lay around days. The best kind!

HUGS TO ALL!

Dinner out before going to see my youngest son in the lead role for "Seven Deadly Sins" at his College. So excited. and tomorrow a holiday bazaar at our local community center.
Have fun girls!

I lost almost a week between hospital and recovery. But I am feeling stronger and can go out of the house if I avoid lots of people..How do I do that? I need to get some meals cooked and put away so I am ready for round two. I want to find my ornament for my sister in pink. I know what I want not where to find it. Sunday is Church and work on Christmas present projects with my daughter. Hope everyone has great fun.

Becky

I'm glad you're feeling better Pammy, but folding laundry? Geez. Maybe you could instruct hubby on the right way to do it and then just watch! You keep taking it easy and let yourself heal. I hope you have a restful weekend.

Well, I'm home from work. The house is sparkling clean, which is great. Waiting for Simon so we can go out for a relaxing night of Greek food and cocktails. I'm getting so hungry!

I too am folding Laundry, Putting down toilet seats, replacing Bogrolls, switching lights off and burning furniture that my lovely new dog has EATEN! She is a Canine Calamity.. a real mobile wrecking ball, Honest, I am scared to come home and see (or smell) what she has done now!

I love Greek food, I've not been able to find a decent Donner Kebab since I came to Canada.........

Send me one! I'm addicted! Hugs Jxxxxxxxxx

Pammy......... Get the whip out! Sit back and tell him how it's done.

With lemon please...........

Jxxxx

Where is that man? I'm starving here! Spanikopita, Greek pizza, feta cheese, grape leaves. If he doesn't get here soon, I'm gonna take a page from Tasha's dog and eat the furniture.

He's here!! Time to eat. See you guys later!

I guess i will be resting, went by myself to dept store, kinda forgot I'm getting over a virus, didnt eat since breakfast, had treatment yesterday. almost passed out felt fine then all the sudden not so fine, and had to call my husband to get me. the store manger yelled a tme as she is a cancer survivor. I feel so much better off the AC that I wasnt thinking. i still forget to eat as i dont care for food. One reason I went to the store was to buy myself a coat because mine does not fit. This sounds sad but I am shaking my head and laughing at myself dor being so dumb. How old am I? Anyways i need some things and I will just have ot have hubby or friend take me for a bit longer I guess. and not forget to eat.
Doobie brothers my first concert!!!!!!!
jeanne good luck on surgery
everyone have a great weekend!!!

I know you don't feel like it, but you must eat something. Have your hubby shop and cook nutritious meals and then just sit down at a designated time and eat a little. Glad you are doing better today. Have a relaxing weekend.

Mimi

That sounds amazing, Kathi. I've only been to Bermuda on a cruise, but had a really good time. That's a great price for a transatlantic cruise. And a balcony! It should be so relaxing. Have a great time!

Leaving now for dinner out with friends! And, I am hungry! Hubby is anxiously pushing me to get off the computer. So, got to go!

Have a great weekend all.

Thanks Mimi for doing this.

Leeza

A cruise from Rome to Ft Lauderdale...how romantic and wonderful that sounds. Something you can dream about while you get those tests out of the way, Kathi. I will be thinking of you on Wednesday and hoping for the best news asap on all the tests.

thought of you my daughter went to maroon 5 concert, hearing you talk about dc makes me feel closer to her. mimi did you like your cut?

You know that "new normal" we often talk about, Joe? I am smiling thinking that it seems you and your darling Moopy actually got your OLD normal back...with enough humility in the mix to nudge you in the rib-cage, albeit ever so gently , when you need a subtle reminder of what your lives were like last year at this time. But there is even a blessing in needing a reminder, isn't there? That things actually do fade in the recesses of our minds, and we get to move forward is incredible, isn't it? Ahhhhhhhh!

hugs,

Stef, I about fell off the couch laughing after I read your comment about Panera. As Carkris wrote, it IS nutritious food. Seriously!

Unfortunately, Bloody Marys and oysters are not served, so I have to live vicariously through Mimi's posts for those pleasures, as well as the excitement of living in a unique, exciting city. I do enjoy reading about your weekends in the city, Mimi. Also, like Jackie, I would love to see your new 'do.

Thank you, Chen, for remembering it was this time last year when Joe's and my life did change---and for your wise words. Our quiet happiness is greater because it is shared with you and our dear friends here.

Wishing you all a pleasant, peaceful evening and a good week, in all ways.

your post made me cry. yes my husband feels the same way about panera but i feel it is good nutritious food. and yes like you he will do it anyway. I have some shopping plans in the future as well, congrats on her job you can feel the pride.!!!!1 My husband posted on his FB last week how happy he was to hear me laughing with my dughter not like him to express that. you wonderful guys are the rocks we rely on gems.

Joe
All the kidding we do at your expense aside, you are one hell-of-a guy. Isn't it great that you get the twinges of annoyance at the "Normal" things. It means you both have come so far. And that you remind yourself that this was your dream at the start of this journey, how wonderful. May you both be blessed with more and more "normal" annoyances. Let the dream go on.
By the way, I have never been to F*ck*n' Panera but I might have to try it. I think we have one in Vacaville but they dropped the F*ck*n' from the name. Don't know why.
And Congrats again to Moopy on her new role. What a gal! What a guy! What a couple! Love ya both.
Stef

I do remember well the Hell of last year, and we do have so very much to be thankful for this year, looking back it hardly seems real but we made it! And I am so proud of your beloved wife and my dear friend I don't know what I would have done without you two lovebirds!

Mimi, I would love to see a pic of your new hairstyle...I thought I might let mine grow and get it done right before christmas. I hope all of my pink sisters had a wonderful weekend.

and Joe, do you really think Effy should be smoking???

Hugs, jackie
