So Chickie is taking the last of her vacation today (and yesterday afternoon) so I have to work hard. It's not that I don't work hard when she is on the sales floor, it is more that I know I have someone who covers my back without a specific request. At least most of the time. But when she's out of the shop (or when I'm out of the shop to be ( Read more... )

I wish I could look back on Sunday and claim accomplishment. I wish I could state that I rewrote the story that's been giving me such problems in the revision stage. Or that I had started my detailed outline for my novel. Or that I had even seriously read books (although I certainly was reading for much of the day), or that I had disinfected my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a usual long Monday, starting by leaving the house at 6:00 am for my be-weekly chiropractor appointment which was SO needed. Of course that puts me behind, but my current story is going well and probably will be posted today and the one that I started yesterday I'm loving, although it will be a much longer than usual piece. I ( Read more... )

The movie last night was great fun, and we followed that up with dinner at Baker's Square (Asian Chicken Salad for me) and we all brought home pie for dessert. I paid for Chickie's dinner as part of her birthday gift, and because it was her birthday, her pie was free! Score!

I like starting my week on a high note, and I'm very up for the upcoming week because I got a lot done yesterday and already this morning. And I'll have a chance to see the sunrise again because we're back onto standard time. It's hard to argue with a positive attitude - LOL.

I had a wonderful Sunday. We woke up early and got ready to go to the little Gem & Mineral Show put on by the Minnesota Mineral Club. We had been watching "The Shining" the night before, but couldn't stay awake for the final 45 minutes. Fortunately, I caught them this morning, so I still got to see Jack Nickleson with the axe getting tricked by ( Read more... )

 So Chickie, Chickie Mama and I went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 last night.  Although it was not as good as the original KFP, it still was a lot of fun to see.

 I am a middle-aged overweight short female who won't be getting any closer to haute couture clothing than the other side of a television screen. But the gowns at the Academy Awards last night were marvelous. Oh, there were some bad ones, and some that just were the wrong color for the person wearing them. But, most of the gowns were wonderful ( Read more... )

 So Chickie and I finally got to the Cinema last night, after trying to get our schedules to mesh for more than two weeks. We had dinner with Chickie Mama and our friend Ann, and then Chickie Mama, Chickie and I went to see "True Grit". I had read the book in the past, as well as had seen the original movie which starred John Wayne and Glenn ( Read more... )
