Yesterday was something. Sissie and I were ready to run naked. I am telling you, people!!!!!!
Sissie swears a lot, as in A LOT. I am more reserved, although I can let fly when I want to. If we had a swear jar it would be full after yesterday morning.
I altered the glitter monster to the point that I need the bride to finish. It is stuffed back in its bag and in the spare room lying on the bed. She will be in after I get back from my trip. Then I was able to finish two other easier dresses. I still need to add bustling cord to which I will do after this blog post.
That leaves another easier dress and one monster. Hopefully I will get the easier one done today. There are several bridesmaid dresses to do. Sissie just did her first bridesmaid dress. I want her to get confident on these as they are not that hard. If she can pick that up in addition to the hemming it will be great. I don't really need her to do this, but at busy times it will be a real blessing.
I went to Home Depot last night and bought everything I need to build a gate in the backyard. I need it to prevent critters from getting into the garden. I think Nathan will come and help me. I did get a bid from a gentleman, but I thought it was high. So, I decided to try a different way. I will abuse my son in law.
Sissie swept up a huge pile of glitter, but the shop needs a wipe down. Actually, the house needs a wipe down. I have a gentleman coming for dinner on Sunday (it is our third date) and Sissie said, "What is he going to think with all this glitter all over?" I told her he will think I am Tinkerbell and I might even buy myself some wings.
I have two imaging appointments tomorrow morning, one on my thyroid and one on my pancreas. Nest week is the breast biopsy, and I need to see when I go in for my heart scans. Crazy with appointments.
I also have brides picking up dresses tomorrow, but I will be cleaning in between appointments and brides. My closet desperately needs help as in winter and summer shoes switched and not thrown all over the place. The whole house needs a good dusting. I would like to do some cleaning in the garage and some rearranging of tools out there as it is getting out of control.
I have to keep the garage door open for clients and anything laying on the floor can be a place to hide a rattlesnake. I need wide open space and things off the floor. I was trying to place the fencing supplies on the floor and realized just how many nooks and crannies I have created. This needs to be addressed.
Well, I am off to try and get all these dresses ready to go or at least call the client. Wish me luck.
God is good

My daughter came home from school once and told me that the Art teacher refuses to let anyone use glitter. She said it in her 7th grader against the world voice. Then 4 years later she came home and told me she wished the High School Art teacher was smart like Mrs. Arty smarty because "those girls need to stop using glitter. I have it all over me even in my butt crack. And I am not even using it." Of course she was exagerating but not that much. By this time she was in marching band and the dance line girls always had outfits that included glitter. Good luck to you guys.
ReplyDeletemy mother was `the glitter queen of her school, the janitors were not her friends.
DeleteI want to hear more about this gentleman. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are all so curious!
DeleteOh heck. if it is there, sprinkle that crap everywhere!
ReplyDeleteYou have more gumption than me - on ALL things! wink-wink
Gumption is my middle name!
DeleteI use glitter in ornaments and end up swearing at the dang stuff. It seems to get all over.
ReplyDeleteLike Kathy I want to hear more about your gentleman caller.....😉
God bless.
You guys crack me up!
DeleteI used glitter in my home... once. A cute little snowman craft with my daughter. I felt like I was finding glitter on my kitchen table and counters months after I had cleaned upteen times!
ReplyDeleteIt is like pine needles from a real Christmas tree.
DeleteI, too, want to know about your gentleman caller LOL. My husband died 18 months ago and I, too, have a gentleman friend...which seems weird to me and even weirder to my friends and family. We are both 80 (I think they think that's what's weird about it).
ReplyDeleteI think it is fine. You are alone. Men often remarry much earlier than women. Man was not meant to be alone.
DeleteAgain with the rattlesnakes! I don't know how you do it!
ReplyDeleteHey we are up to 8 here now it is a crazy year.
DeleteFunny story about glitter. TBG despises glitter. Years ago, when our grandson was probably 9, he stayed with us for a week in the summer. It was almost Father's Day, and I got out supplies for him to make cards. I told him if pawpaw says anything about the glitter to tell him a fairy did it. The next day I came home from work and apparently TBG fell asleep and A decided to get the supplies out and make a few more cards. He apparently got glitter ALL over and I heard all about it when I got home. I asked A if he told him a fairy must have done it and with a very serious face he said, 'no that wouldn't have worked'. It was so cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!
I can just see a little boy saying that.
DeleteYou've been holding out on us, with this gentleman caller! Details, please!!! :-) - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteYou are all so funny!
DeleteI am with Hawaii Planner! Details!!!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure if the gentleman sees the glitter, he might think it is his lucky day!
Yes I am Tinkerbell!
DeleteGood vibes on the monster dress. I am trying to figure out if most people actually move their lothes out of the closet seasonally? I should be getting combat pay every time I go in there. Growing up we didn't have many clothes (big Family) so we never took anything out, but I have more now, and feel like that has to be the solution? But what to store the off season clothes in? Plastic tubs?.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about having so many clothes is that you only wear you favorites.
DeleteGlitter, snakes, and a gentleman caller! Dang, woman! May your tests/imagings/biopsy all go smoothly, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWell it is today so wish me luck.
DeleteWell, hello there, sweet lady! I have missed you. I am catching up on reading and want you to know I am praying for you for all your health scans. I am sorry you have to go through all of this. When you are done, you can check them off the list and move on to summer! Now, about this gentleman coming to dinner... (Happy for you!)
ReplyDeleteBillie Jo I think about you every time I get worried up about the next upcoming test. The boob is today. I just tell myself if Billie Jo can handle the nerves so can I.
DeleteIt’s so hard to get rid of all the glitter!
ReplyDeleteBelinda
It is, and pine needles.
DeleteWell well well, a gentleman caller. Tell tell tell.
ReplyDelete-Meg B.
You are all so funny.
DeleteTo those who read Sluggy’s blog, she has posted. If you haven’t stopped by, I know she would appreciate some comment love. She’s had a tough time! Debbie in TX
ReplyDeleteI will definitely get to her.
DeleteA former boss of mine HATED glitter. So much so that when he got Christmas cards in the mail, he sort of bent them and if they sounded crunchy, like there might be glitter in it, he threw it away WITHOUT OPENING IT.
ReplyDeleteGood for you and your gentleman caller. I have had a series of terrible first dates that led to nothing more. The most recent one - the man wanted relations on the first date. Um, sir. No. And then he did not understand when I said no to a second date.
My advice is to go slow. So slow that snails are passing you. ;) Make sure they're not just looking for a nurse or a purse. Or just looking for one thing, like the last one I went out with.
I am currently talking to a lovely Christian widower and we plan to go out soon.
It is a nightmare the dating world. I think for both sexes.
