Sunday funday...

Does anyone know what today is? It's the 46th anniversary of the assassination of JFK. I know anyone old enough will remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when it happened. I was in a home-ec class on cooking. We were discussing the Kennedy's at the time and how Jackie did things in the White House when the announcement came on the PA system. We did not know he was dead for awhile and there was no tv in schools of course. It was a black day in our history.

Well to move on, I did get all my shopping done yesterday and everyone must have had the same idea to wait to shop thinking the stores would be mobbed because we had the WalMart about to ourselves other than every single checkout line being open and lots of stock people in the aisles. It was about the best shopping experience I have had there.

I also got my hair done but no one has taken a photo yet so that will have to wait but I like it. It is blonde and short and easy for me to keep up. (Is up a preposition? At least I didn't say up with!)

Flat Jeter and Flat Skeezix didn't get to go and they were pouting until Chuck got there and gave them so many treats and pets they were purring like crazy. I think he slipped them some nip too if you get my drift. Anyhow Chuck is their new best friend.

And that's all I know for now. Have a great Sunday! I know I will.

Saturday stuff...

First of all let me tell you that yesterday I Maj'd twice! And I won thirty cents for the day! At one time I was up two bucks. And I got asked to be a sub in another game, of course I said yes. Sarge had a good nap while I was gone. He found out he has to have some units of blood on Monday, they told him to be prepared to stay all day.

Today I am finally getting my hair done. I feel like a (fat old) Lady Godiva here with some dark roots! Then I am picking up Chuck and we are going to shop for Thanksgiving dinner. I am betting the stores are going to be a zoo but it has to be done. I sure am glad he's going to help me.

Does anyone else watch The Real Housewives of Orange County? I was so looking forward to this season but I have to say it was so trashy I turned it off and went to bed. What a disappointment. If even I couldn't watch it, well, it stinks. The end.

Sorry this is short today, gotta run. But have a great day! I know I will.

"Undetectable"!!

Yup, you read that right, the scan showed the cancer is now undetectable! Is it completely gone? We don't know for sure, hence the next two treatments but Dr. Green used the good "c" word yesterday. CURE! The sweetest word in the dictionary I say.

Flat Jeter was dancing all around the office. He is looking forward to the day he can take the panties nurse's cap off his head and get back to normal. He wants to take Flat Skeezix on a cruise. Remember Flat Jeter has already been on one and knows what to expect. I was listening to them talk and he said Flat Skeezix, you will never believe it. You can call a number from your room and they will bring you fish food like cake that the old woman likes so much and sandwiches that Sarge likes. And they make you towel animals and put them on your bed at night while you are out eating yummy fish dinner.

Then they both went for a nap and I went to play cards. Sarge said they slept all afternoon until I got home and then started whining asking for treats which of course they got. I would have said "which of course they got plenty of" but that would have been bad grammatically. That whole preposition thingy and all.

Whew, I just hit something and my whole post disappeared but then I hit refresh and it came back. Lucky me.

Well have a great Friday, I know I will. I have MahJong!

Thursday is Canasta!

First of all I'll remind you that Aero is posting from Iraq and if you want to go on his journey with him, read (HERE). Leaving him a comment would be appreciated too if you have some time! Those guys get lonely.

This morning we go see Dr. Green and hopefully get wonderful results from the pet scan. Flat Jeter and Flat Skeezix were pretty good but they did pull a scam on the nurses. They also found the big fish tank and Flat Skeezix says Marcy is cute as lunch pie. They watched her for awhile and made some comments about eating her all up petting her and giving her treats. Then Flat Jeter taught Flat Skeezix how to faint when the needle comes into view and they both hit the floor at the same time. Thud, thud. The treats came out and all was well. Well, except for poor Sarge who actually GOT the needle that is.

Then the four of us went to Red Lobster for lunch. Flat Skeezix fainted for real when he saw the lobster tank. He said he never knew they were so big. Flat Jeter just laughed at him. They are best buddies.

Today I have a new game of Canasta, some new girls asked me to play and of course you know what I said, right? So after the doctor I'll be at the club and Sarge can have his nap. Bless his heart.

That's it from paradise. Have a lovely day. I know I will.

Well it's Prince Spaghetti Day again already!

And once again we will not be having ours. I hope you have yours though. Yesterday at Canasta I won one and lost one, we only played two but we had fun. The girls are all back now but they are mostly going back north for Thanksgiving. I guess I don't understand coming down for two weeks and going back for one and then coming back down again. They mostly live in New York and places north of that. But that's on them, I am happy year round here now. It is mostly warm and lovely and I am very glad to be here.

It's time to get my hair done again. I think it's the longest it's been in years and years and I am thinking about getting it whacked off. It doesn't lay right when it's long. I just have to get time to go get it done.

Sarge is still very weak. This is his time to be feeling good and he isn't. Next Wednesday he has another treatment and he is honestly not over this one yet. He is acting like he does in his bad week. It scares me. Alot. He does have a pretty good appetite but can hardly walk or talk and sleeps so much. Cancer sucks. It really does. Two more treatments. Sigh...

The news is already full of things you can't do for Christmas. No songs in schools, no this, no that. What the heck is wrong with this world? How does it hurt anyone to sing a song in a school? Times were nicer when I was little. We could have whatever plays we wanted in the schools and we even said the Lord's Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance in homeroom in the mornings. And no one shot anyone else. There were some fights on the school grounds and there were some bullys but no shootings. Things are not better now. And it's a shame.

So what's up with Sarah Palin? Her book is out now. Is she running or not? Who knows but I don't think she could win. There is a lot I like about her but honestly there are some things I don't like so much. I'd sure have to know a lot more to vote for her. But I do know one thing. She'd be better than that bunch that's up to no good in there now. (She steps down off the soapbox now before she pisses off too many people.)

Have a great day y'all. I sure am going to try to.
