Oh, my... I wish I had gotten here earlier today... Harriet's beginning was hilarious!!! Harriet, you are an extremely talented writer!

(My panties are more the granny-variety, too, high cut briefs, in various colors but always, only, 100% cotton. I am fairly indiscriminate between Hanes and Fruit of the Loom, and am a bit aggravated that Wmart doesn't have more "nude" colors in its variety packs right now. I also stack, on a shelf in my bathroom closet. My bras (also bought from Wmart) are generally stored on the towel rack where they dry... :oops: When the towel rack is empty, I know I have to do laundry! -- I did hide them in the closet, however, when the family came for Christmas.)
the panty style (almost no material) that young women are wearing nowadays! :shock: :lol: I would be forever trying to make comfortable adjustments......
Amen to THAT, Sunny!!!

Oh well...

The reason I did not get here earlier was that today was the retired teacher-ladies lunch day. We had a visit from a local massage therapist! She was quick to tell us that although she had been asked, she did not do anything "extra." She offered sample chair massages for us and I was quick to take her up on it! I have been aware lately, that I do seem to be holding a lot of tension in -- seems I have trouble relaxing my muscles to sleep at night. (I sleep quite well on the couch mid-evening, however.) I did NOT leave my chair massage thinking OH WOW THAT WAS WONDERFUL, * but * it DID feel awfully good (and I only got about 15 minutes at most), and I wish dmom would try massage. I think it would be worth a try and might do her a lot of good.

Afterwards, Wmart for groceries... the usual Monday routine... DH is not feeling a lot better, but appears to be slightly improved.

Lilac, I hope dgs8 feels much better soon!

(((Harriet's dd))) That is an awfully strict policy... looks like there would be a distinction between excused and unexcused tardies! I am impressed w/the sitting on stools requirement at her ISS. At our school, ISS students sat in regular desks. Sitting on stools all day would be much more difficult and would certainly help make sure no one fell asleep! But if she can stand the discomfort, and she is allowed to read whatever she chooses when work is completed, maybe the time will pass fairly easily.

It IS sad how she has lost both grandfathers this year... of course, ds here lost both of his within 14 months, and ddil lost both of hers within the 9 months that she was pregnant. Maybe that isn't so uncommon... but it seems so, especially w/ds's grandfathers being almost 20 years apart in age! I lost a grandmother on one side and grandfather on the other between Easter and Labor Day 1990. My grandmother was 67 and my grandfather was 79. That was awfully tough on me, and like ds, I was almost 30 years old! I remember I felt like I just cried all summer.

(((Ivy))) Dmil was craving pizza today, but fortunately she changed her mind. (She actually seemed to be doing a bit better and went out to her "office" today -- first time I believe in over a month!

Wow, Kathryn -- you are so organized with this moving!!! WTG!!!

Amazed at the growth of a plant that you can see differences in photos so quickly, MT! I know it will be beautiful!

(((Norma))) I am so sorry about your dfriend/"adopted" son...

Glad to hear Sadie is doing better!

Waving to Harmony, Nancy, Dove, and everyone else I have missed!!!

I'm going to read some more in my book -- I am almost finished with Sycamore Road by John Grisham and it is sooo good!!! Also need to exercise. I've been kinda falling off the wagon since my weekend adventure!
Tomorrow is another day.

Agreeing with Kathryn and Nancy. Harriet's dd is not the child for which this policy was instituted. I would have some serious discussion with administration over this personally.

Just finished my last bulletin article as temple president. I hope it's not too self serving.

Long day to visit dsis, will post more tomorrow.

For the record, cotton granny panties here. Have never thrown then, or knowingly attended an event at which panties were thrown.

Good evening everyone! My day with DD12 yesterday was a resounding success, described by her as "the best day ever". All we did was church and swimming, but we did have an indoor pool all to ourselves.

I got up way too late today, but I have been busy. One thing that got done was deliver dFosterKittens to their new home! I have also changed my art class time, so I can use it to get my lazy bum out of bed. Until I am reemployed, I will be doing art classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10 to 12. Friday, I have the knit/crochet group at 9, Saturday is cat clinic, and Sunday is church. That means that I have only Monday and Wednesday for which I need BGS.

What I have done today: paid bills, updated Quicken, balanced checkbook, downloaded and printed FlyLady list, errands (grocery, hardware, pet food stores), deposited checks, verified new checks, caught up on emails, and consolidated all my lists.

Next up: crochet with Hogan.

Note: I have been to enough concerts that I have lost count. I am very good at getting to the front row, due to all my training and practice at Mardi Gras. I have NEVER thrown underpants! I have caught t-shirts. At one show the singer was calling for girls to remove their shirts to get a t-shirt. Upon realizing I had on two shirts, I did a slow removal of the outermost. The singer motioned me to continue, but I shook my finger at him. He gave me the shirt anyway. Later during the show, I used the removed shirt to retrieve a guitar pick from the stage. That's my most scandalous concert moment.
