Lets see,

in spite of troubles with this health..and having to rest or nap a LOT>..

I have been out golfing more this summer than last I believe
some of those times with the older kids for kid time

I travelled down with the four girls to spend few days with friends, then to my oldest sisters house..to spend some quality time there (she is still fighting cancer, tomorrow she starts a test chemo drug keep her in your prayers thanks)

In a few weeks, we leave for two weeks to Florida, and although a bit nervous about the heat, and coping....it is two weeks away from work...and all....hanging there with inlaws....and just chilling there the two weeks...they have a pool...and should be nice get away before the start of school...

sounds like a great summer Sarah. Ill keep your sister Madeline in my prayers okay?

Thanks soxie, hugsss to you...
all smiles here, work tomorrow then my two days off... hugss,sarah

In spite of my pain and misery I decided to hitch a ride with 2 of my sisters (trying to reconnect with one of them) to Fla and stayed in a condo on the beach from 6-20 to 6-30 and I have paid for it since! 30 hours in a car with 4 screaming kids (that I was not told was going) played havoc with my back and I have spent 80% of my time in bed since! I did go shopping one day and bought a hot pink strapless shorty dress and a olive green bikini and went to the beach one day and one night! Otherwise I stayed in bed crying over my puppy that I had to leave behind ( I did not tell Dh that was who I cried for but its the truth) so I tried, but if I ever do another vacation, # 1 ,I will fly, and # 2, I will take my furbaby if I have to go alone

and Junie, number 3...you will check first if there are lots of kids going..in case that isnt your thing..hehehehe

sorry you have had it rough since your trip..think positive..you can wear a bikini you hot chic you.....

hehehehee

Just made a plan for tomorrow after work, my mom called to invite me to go golfing with her then to dinner out...yeahhhhh (hoping my wrists and ankles dont hurt much..they have been hurting crazy last few days..not sure why)

hugsss all, and happy summer...sarah

In spite of it all the teasings and looks that I get all the time...I've decided that I can really let it roll off of me...

and I started something last summer...whenever I go to the supermakets, I always ask if the cashier would like a drink. The problem was, I am a dude and most of the times, I think they think I am hitting on them.

I am believer in karma and somewhat of a buttfly effect. If I stink face someone, that someone will stink face someone else and it'll come back to me eventually...

I always see cashiers that are busy with long lines and by the time I get to them, they are pretty worn out...I try to be really nice to them and talk to them. Most of the times, it works...but then asking them if I can buy them a drink innocently without them taking it the wrong way was hard.

I solved that problem today...

I bought a drink but asked the cashier to ring it up separately, I know, she gave me the "sheesh, more work" look. But that was OK...

I then said to her: "this is for you, and I am NOT hitting on you. I just wanted to thank you." And I also leave her the receipt so she can exchange it for a drink she wants.

And I walked away...

I still hope she doesn't think I was hitting on her...hmmmm....anyways, no matter. I will try to do that as much as I can from now on. If I can afford (Not really) to pay $4.00/gallon. I can afford $1.25 to hopefully make someone smiles at the person behind me...and hopefully, that smile will come 'round my way again some day...

anyways...after a couple of days of being mean and angry...I am done with that...I need to go back to zen...and believe that the human race have a chance. But I can only believe in that if I myself follow suit...

Wow, who moi:

First off, I thought you were a dame, not a dude. I can never tell from a person's user ID what gender they are.

Now I know you are a dude!!!

AND A NICE DUDE!!

There aren't too many of you around.

So you keep buying drinks for weary cashiers.

I buy breakfasts for people who sit on the street.

And hot coffee for homeless people (during the winter).

No one can figure out why I do this??

Why does there have to be a reason to do something nice for someone else!!!

Shouldn't we do stuff because it's the right thing to do??

Without expecting stuff back??

And what the heck does STICK FACE MEAN???

lol

EXACTLY!!!!!



well, it's STINK face. LOL

that means when I am showing my face. LOL

but "STANK FACE" in the hip hop world is a compliment, it means, it is so good, my face is stuck in the position cause I am just shocked at how good it is...
