I got it Right

I love these tests. I never wanted to be a nurse, but 34 years of teaching must have been a good choice.
I got this one from Kyle's post

I knew I shouldn't wash Dishes

I only had a few dishes to wash up before our afteroon LIFE group was due. I planned to mop the kitchen floor after that. Somehow a glass slipped out of my hand and I ended up with a nasty slash on my little finger - right hand. I screamed - of course and both husband and son came to my rescue. They got the bleeding stopped, poured hydrogen peroxide on it and bandaged it - so tight the end of my finger was turning purple. I loosened the bandage, expecting blood to gush everywhere - it didn't, but boy did it throb. I got to the recliner and began barking orders. "Bring me some prescription ibuprofen - two please" Actually my first words were I need a morphine drip. I've never had one, but my husband did when he had a blood clot and he seemed to like it. If you haven't noticed from my comments I don't do well with pain. My son vacuumed the living room, but my floor didn't get mopped.

My pills kicked in and I made it through our group time. It was then time to pick up Murphy, our 6 lb poodle from the vet after his annual teeth cleaning and physical exam. He has to be put under for that, so he is still a little groggy. Of course with my major injury I couldn't possibly cook, so we went to Texas Road House where I comforted myself with a filet, medium rare, and a baked potato, with butter AND sour cream. I am feeling better now. Murphy and I are sitting in the recliner, writing about our adventures for the day. I love my Mac iBook. Tomorrow will be a better day.

This is Me

You Are 35% Indie

You're a pretty normal person, with a few unusual streaks. No one would ever call you a freak, but you've been called weird - once or twice.

How Indie Are You?

Decisions - decisions

I just can't seem to make up my mind about Substitute teaching. I haven't done any since last October and I guess I don't really want to. I signed up this year, but then turned around and made myself unavailable. Monday will be the start of the third week of school and I can't bring myself to call that sub line and put in available days. Maybe I will just leave it alone.

Exercise is going good. We went 5 days this week. We skipped yesterday and went today. Why is it that something that is so good for you and does help you feel better is something we try to avoid?

Hail in Tucson

Here is the picture taken about a half hour after our hail storm.

What's Been Happening

I've noticed some of my blogger friends have not been posting as much lately. Our lives must be getting very busy. Our son is now living with us for awhile. It's nice to have him here. I have actually been doing a little more cooking. I made biscuits, bacon and eggs for breakfast - after going to exercise. Now I am waiting for my roast to be done for dinner. I've been slow cooking it and have just added the onions, carrots and potatoes. We had a hailstorm here in Tucson this afternoon. I took a picture of the hailstones left on my porch, but I haven't put it into my computer yet. We were in the middle of our afternoon LIFE group and we all had to go to the door and watch the hail. It doesn't take much to excite us old folks. :)

Shall We Dance

I just got home from the first Church of Christ wedding that had a dance. The ceremony was held at church and the choice of music was beautiful - all classical, including the Wedding March. It was taped music. Then the wedding reception was held in a Lutheran church across the street. Someone recently wrote on their blog, I think it was Greg England that white Church of Christ dancing was something else. He is right. All in all it was fun.

My wedding was 45 years ago last Sunday. We got married at Vermont Ave Church of Christ, in Los Angeles CA. This was the church where I grew up. It was by the old Pepperdine campus. We were able to bring in an organ and my piano teacher played for us. I don't remember any of the music, except the Wedding March. We had our reception of cake, mints, punch, etc. in the fellowship hall - no dancing. I honestly don't remember much about the wedding, but we planned it in 2 months. Tom and I met in October of 1960, when I was a Freshman at Pepperdine. He was in the Navy and stationed in San Diego. We met through a guy I was dating, who reminded me of Gomer Pyle. As soon as I met Tom, George (Gomer) was out of the picture. Did I mention that George was good looking, tall and blond, but oh, that Alabama accent! Tom and I started "going steady" after knowing each other 2 weeks. He started asking me to marry him in Jan and I said "yes" in March. We originally planned to wait until Tom was out of the service and I graduated from Pepperdine, which would put our wedding date in 1964. By the time I had my engagement ring in June and we decided to marry in August. When we told my mother, she cried. It was not that she didn't like Tom but she really wanted me to finish college. She adjusted and I did graduate -in 1967 from West Georgia College in Carrollton, GA, which was Tom's hometown. I love weddings.

Drugs

Did I get your attention with that title. I just got home from the doctors office and pharmacy and I've taken my antibiotic and 2 teaspoons of cough syrup with codeine, and I am in bed. I am missing Sweet Adelines rehearsal another night - two weeks in a row now, that is not good. We are learning a lot of new songs for our show on October 28th. At the rate I am going in learning the songs I may not be in the show. We celebrated our 45th Anniversay on Sunday and we ate at a Hunter's Steak House in Yuma, AZ. I really want to write about how we met but not tonight. Maybe I will feel like it tomorrow. Our son in still in CA but will probably be here this week. Please continue prayers for him.

Another Trip

Well, we have taken another trip. This time it was not expected. We are in CA helping our son pack to move home. It is not a happy time, so please pray for him and our family. Thanks

Feeling Ill

We got home from Georgia yesterday and I have been in bed ever since. I started getting a cough while we were there and yesterday I lost my voice - for awhile. While we in GA we saw the Braves defeated by the Mets. We went with my daughter-in-law's church group and sat in the $5.00 seats about 4 rows down from the top, out in right field. Turner Field is a neat stadiom and they had a fireworks show after the game. But I think I prefer sitting a little closer to the field. I've been catching up on my blog reading since I couldn't check while I was gone.
