Here and There

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Home,Life — gardener @ 9:06 am

My brother and nephew are coming over today for gumbo, so I’m trying to get a few things caught up on the computer (like my blogs) so that I can run (literally) up to my great aunt’s house for a little visit before they arrive. I haven’t seen her since we arrived and I know she probably thinks I’ve forgotten her. Things have just been so crazy.

Diddy has had a couple of doctors appointments while we’ve been here and I’m happy that I’ve been able to go with him. I also go to the back with him so I can listen to what the doc says and of course watch any procedures that they may do. I’m sure the doc loves it because I always ask what the machines are and what they do, like the bovie that I saw in one of the offices. I’ll be back there with diddy later this coming week and I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to see me coming with my 20 questions. I do hope it will be the last for him for a long time.

Shop Til You Drop

When Desere was here- she and I had a ‘shop til you drop’ day. We literally shopped all day long, something I haven’t done in years. I found some amazing bargains and we filled the trunk of the car to capacity. It was quite comical when we got home and saw the look on everyone’s faces as we brought bag after bag inside the house. Some of it was for Christmas, but I’ll admit- most of it was for me. I’ve promised myself that I won’t buy any more handbags though. I now am the proud owner of 5 new ones, so I think that’s enough. I have to say- we sure had a blast.

Back and Playing Catch-Up

We are back on land and much as I suspected, we hit the ground running. The cruise and time with Desere on her 40th birthday was great, but now it’s time to really dig my heels in and start getting things ready for Christmas. I haven’t started on Christmas cards as of yet, nor do we have the Christmas tree up, but I know I’ll get it done.

I have a stack of mail to read that arrived while we were on the cruise, including a few coupons and some information on term life insurance quotes that I’d requested a while back. Today is catch up day- so we are doing laundry, catching up on bills and mail, plus straightening things up a bit in the house. I have much to say, but will break it up in more entries.

I’m glad to be back, but I sure miss the ship and the people.

Let the Fun Begin

Desere is in Atlanta waiting for her flight to Mobile (or I assume she is- since I haven’t talked to her) and I’ve been getting a few things done around here in anticipation of her arrival.

She’ll be here 10 days, but our time will be spent constantly on the go- so it’s safe to say that this definitely will not be a vacation of rest for her. In fact, it’s one of those trips where you’ll probably have to go home and get some rest to recover from the vacation that you just took.

Tomorrow we’re headed out to New Orleans. Friday, she and I plan to spend the entire day out shopping between the outlets and Malbis and then Saturday is our cruise. We get back on Thursday- and she leaves again on Friday. I’m looking forward to taking plenty of pictures and having many adventures to share- including our swim with the dolphins.

I miss reading blogs- but I just haven’t had the time. Maybe after she leaves and heads back home- I’ll have a little more time.
