Hi AG...It is nice when those big corporate clothing stores provide us with eye candy, isn't it?
Just pulling up from page two...
I am still waiting to hear from that job...tho I guess it is typical for these things to take a LONG time...I have heard that 30 days would be within reason. So seven down, 23 to go! Last Saturday night I went to a very fun party in the City...A great friend turned 40...I have known him since he was 21! He used to babysit my kids when they were 2 and 3...
The party was a lot of fun. But the really neat thing was that I stayed with my son! He was the perfect host, came to the party with us, fit right in with his storytelling and charm. In the morning the next day we went for breakfast and then I drove the 90 miles home.
Knowing this friend (and a whole group of his friends as well) was very affirming for me as my own kids have started college and started leaving the nest. It has been good for me to see this group of people make their way in the world, make their own mistakes and struggle through relationships and career choices but then eventually come up on top.
Speaking of friends......A very good friend of mine, who was a BIG help to me as I recovered from the 3 bombs that were hurled in my direction...is having some health problems. She was/is my massage therapist and I HIGHLY recommend anyone going through stressful trauma to get some good self-care by getting a massage. Depending on the state of your marriage at the time of the bomb, you probably were used to having at least some regular human touch in your life. It is really healing and good for you on many levels to get massaged...
Anyway, my MT friend was one of my rocks during that difficult time. Last week she called me and asked me to help her, she was very weak, ill, vertigo, nausea etc. This had been going on for 5 weeks! I did go over and have lunch w/her. It was shocking because she is/was one of the fittest people I know, older than me, yogini for 30 years, strong, etc. Of course I am praying for her recovery.
Fathers Day came and went. My own Dad has passed on about 6 years ago, so that was sad. Ex...well I didn't talk to him, I was busy driving and with son. I think both kids did end up talking to him. He actually was a great dad when the kids were little. He has been an OK dad lately. He gives them money when they need it. Which is good. He does lack a little in the empathy dept. tho! LOL!
Somebody gave my daughter an older, but in good condition Jeep Cherokee. While she was running around getting it smogged and registered she was constantly calling me with questions. At one point she called me and asked me a question that the DMV would only know. I said, "Call the DMV...I don't know that answer" and she said, "Oh, OK mom, I just thought I would try you because it has always worked before!"
Mr. Argo is patiently staring at me with his big brown eyes ready for a nice run...So off to shower and get ready for the day....
I love summer! It is 9:30!
LOL
