Thursday Thirteen – Random Musings!

TT_yr1.jpg

    1. My in-laws are here, they will be with us for about two weeks. Thankfully we will be doing some traveling. )

      2. We are taking them to Gatlinburg on Saturday and Sunday, they want to see the Smokie’s. The kids are going with us, mini vacation for all.

        3. Next week we are going to Nashville for the week for a church conference. I will be socializing, that’s my favorite part. Who would have guessed?

          4. While in Nashville, I am excited about seeing a group of friends from a message board that I been a moderator and member of for over eight years. We have three separate gatherings planned! Some members I have met, some this will be our first time meeting! I’m so excited!

            5. I will also be seeing my grandparents while in Nashville! I’m very excited about that!

              6. Did I mention that this is a world wide conference? If not, it is…..lot’s of people will be there, and it’s a great time to see old friends and family from all over the nation and world! It’s really a fun time!

                7. On to other news…….Miss Priss is doing great on the job! Though she told me tonight that they informed her which fish would send her to the hospital! This is after three weeks of working the aquatics department!!! Nice of them telling her NOW, huh? Thankfully she hasn’t had a run in with one of those fish while bagging them! shock

                  8. We took the in-laws out to eat tonight and we had the cutest waitress, so after we were done we were teasing Bubba that he needed to get her number! Well, poor Bubba, he got embarrassed and went out to the car. BUT….leave it to his little sister! She wrote his cell number on a piece of paper, gave it to his poppy and when she came back to the table HE gave it to her and said, “Here’s my grandson’s number, he moved here awhile ago and hasn’t gotten to know anyone yet, you should give him a call!” That girls eye’s lit up and she said she couldn’t believe he didn’t have a girlfriend! I asked her name and told her that I’d tell him to be sure to answer if he sees that name on his phone. She was quite happy. We shall see if poppy was a match maker!! )

                    9. Maybe TMI, maybe not…..I went shopping today, big surprise, and was looking for brown slacks and found a great pair actually that looked great! But when I was trying those on the sales girl looked at me and tells me I need a new bra. shock I’m like, ok. I tell her that I’ve been losing weight and I’m not sure of my size, etc. So she fits me….I HAVE GONE DOWN A SIZE AND A CUP!! I was shocked! So she brings me this great bra, I try it on and VOILA, it’s a new me!! I have a new figure! I have a waist again, and guess what? They are perky again!!!!! I’m so excited! ) Amazing what a bra can do!!! (Aren’t you glad I didn’t take pictures to show you?!!! shock ) )

                      10. Since I mentioned my new living room furniture in a previous TT, I thought I’d post a few pictures of it!

                              13. And last but certainly not least, just one pot of the nine that I re-potted on Sunday! Four pots are Zinnia’s the others are mums, they all are looking really good!

                                If I can make it to Nashville, do you have a little time to spare me? I have had you on my calendar for weeks…I SO want to see you again!! I can do lunch or dinner…with hubbies or without…just let me know!
                                Shame we aren’t in Gatlinburg at the same time…we are leaving for the mountains two weeks from tomorrow (Thursday)!
                                I still want us to make it to Atlanta sometime, but the way things are going…argh!

                                Young people sometimes need a little help! fun story. Congrats on the weight loss!! love your new leather furniture. We used to have a sofa like it, only it was playground for our son and it needed to be redone at some point…which would have costed a fortune, got new ones instead but always loved this form of the arms (hope you know what I mean!) Have fun in Nashville and in all those places you are visiting!!!! Happy TT )

                                Your in-laws are staying for 2 weeks? I think I would just die! hehehe!


                                August 17th, 2006 at 5:56 am

                                That travelling sounded great, hope you have a great time and how fun to meet the friends!!!!

                                Ouch, that dangerous fish sounded a little bad…. Pheeew.

                                Aha, a match may be made, how exciting. Hope it all work out -)

                                Yes, it strange that a nice bra can make such a difference. If you find some one that fit you. I’m always having problems with that. I’m obviously very strange formed *lol* Yoiu know, the word bra means good in Swedish!

                                Woha! That furniture is GREAT. I love the look of it. Have seen something similar earlier over here and almost bought it, but went another style in the end. But I still like it very much!

                                Have a nice in-laws visiting time.


                                August 17th, 2006 at 6:14 am

                                Oh, I *love* Gatlinburg! It is so cozy there! Nashville’s nice, too, but Gatlinburg is so darn charming!

                                Your living room looks awesome, too!

                                My Thursday Thirteen is up!

                                Happy Thursday, Yellow Rose!

                                What fun family are when they will do the match making for you! Isn’t it wonderful when you get new undies and feel like a new woman! No pictures is fine with me! I love your living room. While I don’t like leather furniture(it sticks to me) it does look very nice in your living room. Very well done. And last your zinnias look very pretty. I need more color in my front yard!

                                I am not playing today but wanted to stop and say hi. Hope you are having a terrific Thursay and week with your family!

                                Hello!! Sounds like you are very busy!! My TT is up too. Your living room looks nice. My house is all cleaned up for this Saturday’s ladies neighborhood luncheon. So I am tired now!!
                                I am happy to hear about your losing weight so you know that means you are losing inches too…NOw we can call you “Perky Patty” again. I have names for that area of our bodies…I am called “Saggy Sally”!! I think I will always be in that category..too old anymore for the Perkies to come back …Have a good time for your in laws.

                                We just got back from our mini-vac. It is so nice to get away. We visited my grandparents too. I was so happy to see them. Your Zinnias are gorgeous, and so is your furniture. Leather couches, are the best investment me and my husband made while having kids. We’d prob all ready blown through at least a few sets of reg. sofas and chairs by now with all their mischeif.
                                Have a great Thursday!

                                Ahhh…I love Gatlinburg and the Smokies, went there on my honeymoon. Couldn’t have been better! Glad to hear things are going good for Miss Priss. A good fitting bra makes all the difference. I have fluctuated so much in the last two years, being pregnant, nursing, not nursing and pregnant again. Fun stuff! Love the new living room furniture, beautiful pieces! My list is up!

                                Well… I don’t know where to begin.
                                YAY!!!! on the weight loss. That is AWESOME!!!! New clothes and new bras make such a difference… especially when they make you look younger, perkier and are going down in size!!! )
                                Bubba… I hope that doll baby waitress calls him. That’s too cute!!!
                                LOVE your furniture. It’s awesome. Kinda worth the HUGE headache, huh? )
                                Your Zinnias are so pretty. I love Zinnias.
                                Have fun in Nashville. Sounds like fun!
                                Happy (belated) T13! It takes me a lot longer to get around. ( My list is up.
                                (And I’ve got a post up about Baylie. A little girl with PTC and Arnold Chiari… two diseases I have… and one you do…. she’s 6 and making and selling bracelets to donate to Univ. of Chicago for more research. Stop by and read about her when you have time. If you’d like to order a bracelet or 20 let me know ) I’m getting ready to finalize an order. Just thought you’d be interested.)
