Its "OK" Thursday12/6


Its Ok Thursdays
 
 
"Its OK"
 
-That while in New York, I did not get scammed once this time. It all happened by accident actually.  I cant believe I didn't think of it before. A man was trying to scam me into something. I just looked at him and didn't answer. He assumed I didn't speak English. He said "Parlez Vous Francais?", to which I did not answer either. I smiled and walked away.Maybe the beret I was wearing made him think I was French.  From there on out, I just pretended I didn't understand what they were saying when I didn't want to communicate with someone. Genius idea. Too bad I couldn't use that ploy in my every day life.


-That while in New York I found the perfect heavy green sweater. It was my favorite color green. It was just my style. I was having one of the worst hot flashes while walking to the register with the  green sweater that I was excited to buy. All I could think about is what I would feel like in that sweater during a hot flash. Needless to say, the sweater did not make the trip home with me. I wound up buying a light weight sweater with holes. My husband felt bad when I relayed the story and told me that he would buy me as many green sweaters as I want when all of this passes. He did think the story was funny however. Me, not so much.

-That when my favorite baby hears my voice lately and sees me on face time, she squeals with delight. I love it. Maybe she is just trying to work me for extra Christmas presents?



-That my daughter was so stressed out that she had to make a big purchase. She needed brake pads. She asked us to get them for her for Christmas. I said no. After the purchase, she said she needed to do a shot and what should she do the shot to? I told her to do a shot to being an adult.  She didn't like it much but she will survive. It is hard being tough on your kids.

-That while trying to call my son and get an answer from him, I finally sent him a text. This was his response. If you see a news story about someone snapping....its probably me.




-That I started a tradition with my favorite baby. I buy her an ornament for Christmas. This is her ornament this year. She should have a whole tree full by the time she is an adult. I may buy more than one a year.



-That a mouse chewed holes through my tree skirt. I had to buy a new one.




-That I am only listening to Christmas music in my car while out doing my holiday errands to help me with my stress level. I like every song. There is one song, well its not actually the song but the person who sings it. I think its either Michael Bouble or Harry Connick Junior. You know the song "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"? Well one of them sings it. I am sorry but a grown man talking about wanting his two front teeth kind of creeps me out. I seriously need earplugs when I hear this song. I don't know why it bothers me so much.

-That We are going into Boston to have dinner with my brother in law and his wife (who live in Florida), and a group of friends later. My daughter works in Boston so I will be going in early to hand deliver these cupcakes to her work today. She said that all of her office mates want to meet me. When I missed a week of treats for them while I was in New York, they asked about it. She has been asking me for a while lately to come in, so today is the day.



-That's all that I have for you because I am working today. It is the one day gift certificate sale, 25% off.  The clients usually wait until this day to buy them for future services. It will be crazy. It will be fun for me because I get to work with my friend. There are typically not two people at the desk. Her husband already warned us to behave. Yeah right.

 
Have a great Thursday!

  8. Well, kids are hard sometimes, and it never ends even when they're full blown adults. Your hubby is the sweetest ever! I'm sure you felt better hearing how he'll get you all the green sweaters when the hot flashesd are over! I lovew your tree too. My tree is faux and I have it for 20 years and it's still holding up! Thank you for your sweet visit honey. Take care and have fig water, it helps with the hot flashes. You boil the leaves and drink the tea. Big hugs,
    FABBY
