Blue Monday

Thank you Sally for hosting Blue Monday each week. To join in the fun or to visit other Blue Monday participants, click here.

I haven't mentioned it in awhile, but hubby and I are members of a camping club that meets once a month. We've been members of this club for almost 3 years now so needless to say, some of these people have become dear friends. Like family really.

The club members officially start arriving on Friday afternoon/night and leave on Sunday, but a handful of us try to arrive on Thursday night. That way it gives us 2 full days to enjoy each others company. We talk, play games, go on walks, sometimes shop or do crafts, but there is one thing that we do best...EAT!

For this week's Blue Monday, here is a picture of a group of us on a Sunday morning, eating breakfast before we pack up and head for home. Our official club colors are blue and white. A few are wearing their blue camping club jackets in this picture. Also, look at that blue sky. Isn't it beautiful!


I can't wait until the next campout...and we'll be wearing our blue!

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: Are you worried about the Swine Flu?

I wouldn't say that I'm worried, I'm cautious.

I work with sick people on a regular basis normally so I'm cautious to begin with. I'm just more cautious now. Many of our patients have relatives coming from and going to Mexico.

So...

As always, I'll wear a mask when dealing closely with patients, especially if they have a cough, I'll report to our doctors any patients with flu-like symptoms or respiratory issues, and most importantly, I'll stress handwashing. We've put out even more bottles of hand sanitizers than normal...and we normally have alot.

So far, it's business as usual.

Computer Trouble

I let someone use my computer Saturday night and it was returned with a pesky virus! It's not their fault, it just happened. In the meantime, I've got big computer problems here. I'm REALLY hoping to get everything fixed and back to working order soon.

So for now, have a great Thursday!

Blue Monday

Today I thought I'd show you an oil painting of my husband as a little boy, dressed in blue. He was probably around 2 years old although I'm not sure. This painting hung in my in-laws hallway along with an oil painting of his brother for over 30 years. When my MIL passed away and my FIL moved out of the family home a few years later, we inherited the painting. Now I hang it proudly in our home. I've always loved this painting and used to say that I hoped our children would be as beautiful as he was as a child. My wishes came true and we were blessed with two beautiful children, beautiful both on the inside and out!

So here is the oil painting of my husband that truly was my MIL's pride and joy. She loved the two oil paintings of her two little boys. If you notice some small spots on the painting, they are water spots. My husband says they're from a water gun fight between he and his brother, in the hallway, many many years ago. Oh I bet my MIL was not a happy camper about that one!


Happy Blue Monday!

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: When was the last time you had a pedicure and have you ever had your upper lip waxed?

I had both done yesterday. I rewarded myself for having accomplishing alot around the house lately.

When I got home I started trimming the rose bushes out front. My husband came outside and I told him I had my lip waxed. He said "you don't have a moustache do you?"

I told him...not any more!

By the way, only one word describes getting your upper lip waxed...PAINFUL!

What's The Big Deal About Phones!?!

I got this phone yesterday and while it appears to do everything except make coffee, it's just a phone. What's the big deal about phones anyway!?!

My husband and daughter are phone freaks. The minute we're allowed an upgrade, they're on it, ready for the next new best phone on the market. I don't get it. To me, a phones a phone. But apparently I'm wrong.

We received a phone call telling us we had an upgrade coming. I didn't tell my husband because I knew he'd be bugging me 24/7 to go down and pick out a new phone. Well I didn't have to tell him because he already knew, probably had been online checking it all out already! So yep, the bugging started and kept up until I went down yesterday and picked out a phone. I saw this phone (which was recommended by my sister), pointed to it, and said "I'll take that one." Didn't know anything about any of the features, didn't care. Just didn't want to spend the day in the Verizon store.

Too late, over 1 hour later I'm still there. My husband's in his element, loving all the phone talk between him and the sales personnel.

Me, I'm just trying to memorize all the information the lady's giving me. All I want is to send and receive phone calls, and maybe a little texting. Plain and simple. I don't need it to make coffee, I'm not a coffee drinker remember!

So, wish me luck with my new phone...if I ever get it back. Hubby's been playing with it since we got home last night!

Wordless Wednesday...Almost

After 3 months, he still hates this...
