Wow...I'm REALLY falling behind on here! It's already the 13th of the month! This year is not just slipping away...it's Running away!
Things are still hectic at my workplace. The remodel is finished, but the rest of my furniture won't arrive until this Thursday, which is two more days away. I'm really pushing the limits here, as I have to conduct the board member's meeting next Tuesday and right now, there is no space to do that in. oh well...it will all have to work out, some way or another.
On a good note, my favorite brother will become a first time grandpa tomorrow morning as we welcome the little boy into the family. We are all excited about his arrival and can't wait to get the first look at him.
I have lots to do tonite to "catch-up" on everything that has been set aside for the last few days, so I'll be saying goodnite and hopefully will be back to blog again tomorrow.

Not a Productive ART Day
Today wasn't starting out as the best day ....I awoke with one of those splitting headaches I occasionally get. The worst part was that the dang headache woke me up around 7am, and I intended to sleep in late this morning.
I mainly worked on planning our girls retreat for May. By noon, when the headache was still pounding after taking everything in the house, I decided it was time to call the masseuse!
My usual girl wasn't working today, so I ventured out and tried a new girl. She was pretty good and the main thing was she got rid of the dreaded headache. Maybe I'll use her again if my regular girl is off work.
So, back at home, I DID get the reservation I was hoping for in Salado at The Inn on the Creek.
The other 11 girls will be very happy with our rooms.
We go on our "retreat" once every two years and this year is our ten year anniversary! It is our bi-annual birthday party and weekend visit. Every year is different and lots of fun.
Most of these girls started elementary school together and there are a about 3 that met up with us during junior high. Fifty years together for many of us! That's longer than most husbands last!
Speaking of husbands, only 2 out of the 12 have their original hubby. Some of the girls are single now and some are on their second husband, but a few have had more than two!
I had hoped to get some artwork done today, but it wasn't to be. Instead, I spoke to three of the girlfriends on the phone and two different B&B managers. But I DID get to Walmart after the massage to pick out some really cute matching fabrics that I will be using on a overnight tote bag for my granddaughter's birthday gift. It will have a little flying angel on it, with her name embroidered across the top. I'll try to get a photo posted when it's done.
Maybe tomorrow will be more productive.....after I get my hair done ..........

Hectic Start to the New Year
Boy..I'm not starting out so well with the new year and this blog site!
I have plenty of excuses though!....first I HAD to go to Canton when my girlfriend came down for the long weekend. We had fun there and saw plenty of stuff, but Canton just ain't what it used to be. It's all retail stuff with high prices. Mostly "boutique" clothing with high priced T-shirts and lots of home decor stuff that you see everywhere. We DID see a few shops that had some unique items in them.
One of which, I got in "trouble" in. Yep, this woman...the self appointed "camera police" came running out after me, scolding me, yelling...YOU CAN"T TAKE PICTURES IN HERE! THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL CREATIONS OF (whoever the gal was). I think my girlfriend and mother were stricken with humiliation....but I really wanted to yell at her..."WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A GOOD ASS WHUPPIN, WOMAN!" I TOOK THE PICTURES, ...WHATDAYA GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??? But of course, all I really did was lie to her and tell her I was taking them to show my daughter in law, who was coming to buy stuff tomorrow!
Who knew the old hag saw me sneakily snapping away with my iPhone. I TRIED to play like I was calling someone...but she was ON to me...
yeah...it's like they always say....You can't take me anywhere, anymore. Sometimes my brother's genes just come out in me, I can't help it!
Maybe I'll try to behave on the next trip to Canton. Maybe...........
