Sunday Update

I was gonna do this  yesterday, but again I got caught up doing something I cant remember. anyway, if you remember, it doesn't really matter, but last year at this time i was told i was restricted from donating blood cus I had a bone transplant in my jaw bone. I got a call from them on friday and they asked if I could come in and donate, so I was there on saturday after i did a few chores. I saw one of my team mates from work there also donating. her mom had passed away four years ago and she said she wanted to start a tradition of donating on the anniversary of her passing. what a wonderful thing to do in her honor, help to save another life. I told she should continue to do it when she could, it was a great thing.

after i got out of there, i went over and had a pedicure. what better way to thank myself for doing a good thing than to give myself a gift, and that was I gift i could give myself more often. I love the part where they massage your legs and tootsies and feetsies after the whole taking care of my toes and feet part. oh, and the massaging chair is pretty good too. if I only had a nice glass of wine to go with it, it would been perfect, except i may have fallen asleep.

as you know, john does the shopping in our house. i am just no good at it. and he finds the best stuff. i just go, get what i have to and get the hell out. well john has been waiting for the local strawberry stand to open. he said last week he saw some activity around the stand, but no berry's yet. until yesterday he came home with a flat of really fresh berries. I know, its early, but it doesn't take long here to get berries. my blackberries on the side of my house will be ready in a few weeks, i already have blossoms and small green berries. anyway, after the pedi, i came home and john whipped up a batch of strawberry margaritas. oh yum. alex helped me drink the batch, for the first time in a long time, i needed help to finish off a pitcher. that's ok, i didn't need to drink that much. i hadn't slept that good the night before, and it just wasn't working with me.

well, in just a few weeks, alex will be heading off to the air force. it really hasn't hit yet with me that i wont be able to talk to him any time i want, i will have to make sure he calls every chance he gets, within reason. i have heard he will be able to call, and if he doesn't all i have do is get in touch with the recruiter and they will make sure he calls. i don't know how it works, but i will find out soon enough.

anyway, the sun is out, and should be this way for a few more days. we have all the house fans going and it feels good. it may be time for another pool party pretty soon. I will let you all know so you can get you bathing suits ready. i will provide the drinks and everyone is welcome. see you then. until then, i will check in if not on your pages, then here. have a good week.
