Roche' has friends and he wanted me to show some of them to you.  He calls these two Pete and Mike.  One person reading this will know why, my darling Aunt Jane whom I adore.

So yesterday I won a dollar and fifty cents so I am two for two so far this week.  Well I shouldn't say so far because I don't have any more games this week so rather I am two for the week, a winner.

I got home last night around 4:00ish and there was a voicemail from my dentist asking if I could come in for measurements to get the final process started so I went at 6:00 and now I go back on Tuesday and it will be finished a bit after that.  I am so happy I had this done.  And no, I don't want any other kind of implants.

And I am going to go see Jersey Boys with him at the movies.  It starts today but we have to decide when he can clear some time to go.  Stay tuned.  I am so glad because I really want to see it and I don't want to go by myself.  And no, it's not a "date" date, just friends going to a movie.  Nobody get smart.

And that, my friends, is all that happened in my world.  Have a perfectly lovely Friday, I'll be getting beat up working out with Andre' and then lunch with a gal pal and then, baring rain, in the pool...

See the new sofa?  Right there next to the desk chair?  No?  Neither do I.  That's because it's not here.  It's a fairly long story but there are restrictions on deliveries in condos, ours is 9-5:00 and not one minute after.  That was clearly written on the order.  

Someone at the delivery department said it wasn't convenient and changed to to 4-8:00.  When I called to say it didn't come they said it would be there before 8:00.  No, sorry, it won't be allowed in.  I had the gate called, the manager called, the elevator padded, and the doorman told.  So - I have no sofa.  Oh, and the delivery fee for this great service was almost a hundred bucks.  

This is what it should look like.  I will toss or recover the pillows but the sofa is very plain and it is actually a denim slip cover, washable.  And a bed with upgraded mattress and ottoman.  So maybe next week, I am working with a nice person now, someone that seems to have a brain so I am hopeful.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime all is still well in my world.  I got my hour in the pool before the rain came and that was lovely.  And today I have canasta.  With mostly people I like. (insert smile here).

Oh, and that top photo is old because my tv is on that wall now but you get the idea.  Have a great Thursday y'all.  I sure will too.  Promise.

Well yee-haw, I won twenty one bucks last night.  That's one up for the week so far.  Today the fabulous Steve and Jane come and make my condo beautiful and shiny clean.  Gotta' love that for sure.  

Oh, and my new couch comes today too.  I'll show you that soon.  I have to decide where to put it in the den.  The beautiful wife of the (self appointed) mayor (of the pool) came to look and had some ideas.  She is very talented.

Have you seen the new Lean Cuisine Honestly Good entrees?  Well they are!  I have never been much of a Lean Cuisine fan before but these are really good.  Last night I had the fish and I loved it.  Publix didn't have them but WalMart did.

I guess that's all I have in my brain for now.  I was sort of in overload for a while yesterday and I needed some down time (which I took) and then I felt better.  Have a great Wednesday y'all.  I will too.  

Just thought I'd like to look at a Beetini today.  

So Dr. Wacks yesterday - I gained three pounds.  Buggers to me.  I'm working on it.

Today is a cluster - ****.  First is Andre' to beat me up, then hopefully a quick swim, quick shower, fast lunch, another freaking meeting at my apartment at 2:00 where hopefully they'll all be gone by 4:00 so I have time to have a quick supper and get dressed for poker where I have to bring the refreshments.  I am hoping this is my last meeting and if not I may just bow out of the whole thing.  It's just too much, it really is.  Maybe I'm just cranky thinking about this whole day but you know me and this is too many activities in one day.

I think I should just go book a cruise.  Yeah, let me think about that a bit.  Have a great day and I'll try to also.  Maybe I'll win at poker!

Most of yesterday was lovely and I was able to get my swim done after I left the duck and before we had a bit of rain.  It was a lovely day, perfectly lovely.

Today I see Dr. Wacks for my checkup.  Nothing is wrong, just my usual visit.  And I think I am up three pounds since my last visit.  Of course there were two cruises in there but still, I have GOT to get this under control.  I absolutely refuse to gain any more and I am GOING to lose more.  I am.  I am.  I am.  I promise I am.  I must remember:  nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

I bought lots of veggies to make a lite stir fry.  I am going back through what I ate when I was losing.  I do know I have cheated lately, I admit it and I don't like it.  Ack.

Wouldn't it be funny if I got on the scale tomorrow and I didn't gain?  I can only hope.  Have a great Monday y'all.  I will too.  And I'll try not to bore you with weight tomorrow.  Promise.

Well yesterday I won two dollars so I am on a roll, here's the week's totals:  poker -$91.00, Maj. -.05, canasta +$21.00, canasta +2.00 so I'm even for the week, two wins, two losses.  

I put this photo on to show you my hair is longer now and shiny and soft from the Wen.  I still love it.  I used to have to shampoo every day but now I only have to cleanse every two to three days.   I can't imagine using shampoo again.  Try it and if you do let me know how you like it.

Today I get to go see the duck for lunch and grocery shopping.  I know it's Father's Day but since we don't have one we'll just do our regular thing.  If you are a father Happy Father's Day to you though.  Paul, Walter, a very happy day to you both.

I enjoyed the concert last night but I ate too much afterward.  They had lots of goodies and I over indulged.  I simply cannot do that.  I must stop.  Tomorrow I go see Dr. Wacks and the metal monster will not be friendly (scale).

Have a perfectly lovely day y'all.  I will too.  For sure.

Today I have canasta again.  This is my last time in this Saturday game unless they need me to sub and I would do that if I don't have other plans.  I am very weary of this particular game and happy to be getting out of it.  This leaves me with poker on Tuesday, Maj on Wednesday, and canasta on Thursday and that's it.  Fine with me.  I need pool time!  I'll play more in season and am so glad to have more days off in the summertime.

Tonight I am going to the Fern House to a concert.  I went to this last year and it was really fun.  It's a choir from Delray Beach and they will have food after the concert.  If you are nearby you are invited.

So it's the weekend again.  Any plans?  Mine is just the regular stuff.  It's all good for sure...

Friday the 13th! My lucky day...

Yee haw, this is my winnings from canasta yesterday.  I won $21.00, lost $91.00 at poker so one win, one loss = even steven, right?

Today I get to see the ever fabulous Andre' and let him beat me up, then possibly a quick swim and then a meeting at 2:00.  I am getting "meeting-ed out" but will see it through and it needs to be done.  And we still need eight more votes to pass the hallway renovation.  Eight.  I don't know where they are going to come from but I am hopeful nonetheless.  One of the women I had on my call list (that I spoke to for almost 40 minutes on the phone) said she was not voting yes but she did and has two apartments so that was two yes votes I wasn't expecting.

I have another cruise in my sights but not sure yet.  It's in peak hurricane season and I don't usually book then so that's what is holding me back right now but it's one I really want to go on.  But I'd have to go by myself.  Again.  No worry, once you do it the first time and find out it's still fabulous it's not so hard the next time.j

And that, my friends, is all I have in my brain for today.  Have a wonderful Friday and I will too.  Do something nice for someone please...

Well the board meeting is over and it was a bit contentious but I think the president did a great job of defending our position and hopefully there is still hope that the hallway renovation will go forward.  There are only a few more votes needed and more calls are being made but as of yet we do not have enough.

So now the Ooma phone update... all done, old number ported, Comcast cancelled, and it works great.  Sounds just like a phone.  For $3.48 a month.  And an old woman installed it, what about that?  Seriously if I can do it anyone can.

I finally ordered the white sofa yesterday.  It'll be here on Tuesday so I'll take a photo and show you then.  It's just a plain sofa and footstool in an off white.  I wanted more white and less off white but otherwise it's fine.  It has slipcovers which I like so I can have them cleaned and I made it a sofabed so you can come and stay with me now. (!)

Today I have canasta.  I hope you have a great day.  I know I will.

Roche' wants to be the star today.  He wants to tell you some of his favorite things.  As in:  favorite beer - rolling rock, favorite music - rock and roll, favorite hymn - rock of ages, favorite tv show - 30 rock, favorite casino - hard rock, favorite president (we differ here but oh well) - rock obama, favorite song to dance to - i love rock and roll, favorite pianist - sergi rachmaninoff, favorite movie - rocky, favorite mountains - rocky mountains and stone mountain are tied, favorite prehistoric monument in europe (everyone has one of these, right?) stonehenge, favorite pastime - getting stoned (he's not sure what this means but says he likes it anyway), favorite state - new hampshire the granite state (he's never been there though), favorite thing to watch in the sky - rocket, favorite old time road sign - see rock city, and finally his favorite candy is of course, rock candy.

So I gave back most of what I won last week at poker but it's all good.  Today I am playing MahJong so I'll win and be even.  Then I have a board meeting after that about trying to get the hallways done over.  It doesn't look like it's going to pass right now though.  Buggers.

And that, my friends, is all I know today.  Have a great Wednesday.  I will too.  For sure!
