Good Morning Campers!
I haven't wrote an entry since Tuesday...not that much going on to write about really. I took Thomas to the airport Tuesday..worked Wednesday and yesterday I puttered around the house and went to meet hubby on base to help him chose the right size top he needed for his uniform....
There are brush fires in Georgia that are effecting our air quality..it smells like bonfires outside and there is a layer of smoke hanging in the air...it's a shame too because it's been cool enough to have the windows open but the smoke smell is too heavy for that....
I plan on a lazy day by the pool today then I have to meet the girls from work for happy hour... ;-)
I am sorry to report that my best friend in UK the one who is battling breast cancer has ended her 3 year relationship with her live in boyfriend. It was a mutual decision but she is still understandably upset. She is rather fragile and vulnerable right now due to the effects of her treatments...and not in any shape mentally or physically to look for a new relationship..she now has to deal with him buying her out of the house and her finding a new place (she can't afford their place)....I am gutted..as if she doesn't have enough on her plate right now dammit...the good news is she is coming over here in June for a little R and R.. she is turning 40 and made me promise no fanfare or parties though..she is just not up to it....my heart is heavy this morning...I love her so and want her happy and healthy...this is so not what was supposed to happen to the sweetest gal on earth... I wouldn't want to be single in this day and age for anything..I might moan about my bloke from time to time..but he's mine and he's a keeper and I know I am blessed to have the love and security of a decent man who loves me for who I am...faults and all....
Been a bit of an emotional week all roundreally... what with the senseless killings at Va Tech.... such an absolute act of cowardice and so bone chilling to me.... but I refuse to let that coward change the way I live my life if anything it makes me want to get out and enjoy it all the more...I'm with you Mary..dance on sister... ;-)
Have a great weekend everyone..spend it doing something you enjoy doing..make you sure you tell the people you are with how happy you are to be spending time with them..and if you get the chance..turn the music up loud and DANCE!!
L
My five....
1. My health, happiness, and well being and that of my family's...
2.. Sunshine on my days off....
3... Good books....
4.... Discount coupons for Yankee candles.... ;-)
5..... I am loved!!

Lyn you got a lovely journal here.Glad your bloke is a keeper.My wife also is a keeper.Yes i agree the Va Tech massacre was a senseless act.Have a great weekend and many thanks for visiting my journal.
Sorry about all your friend is going through. That is way too much for one woman to handle on her own. Good thing she has a true friend like you to help her through this.
Your FIVE are what make up some wonderful days for me, too. I'm hoping to get my book-reading self out into the sunshine today.

I am so sorry about your friend. But at least there is a positive note in that she can concentrate getting well and look forward to a super holiday with you. I hate the smell of smoke, it turns my tummy over. I hope it does not spoil your day by the pool.
love and hugs
Katie
I am a very strange person, I love the smell of smoke and bonfires. I think even I could get an overdose though. I wonder if they ever find out how these kind of fires start? Must be depressing for your friend - first her illness and then her relationship breakng up. Good thing she has a friend like you Lyn.
Angie, xx

When I read your 5, you'll never guess what song popped into my head.
"Sunshine...on my shoulders...makes me happyyyyyy" John Denver. Good grief.
Happy Friday!!

Of course we missed you....Sorry about your friend...Hope you enjoy the day by the pool and HAPPY hour...would ya have a Margarita for me please?

Yes it has been a terribly tragic week and I am also sorry to hear about what has happened with your friend. I will say prayers. And the smoke from the Georgia fires... wow. I hope no one has been injured from the fires. Have a great weekend!
Lisa
Enjoy your pool time.
Missie
Keep on dancin'. Have a good weekend. B. x
Oh Lyn, I feel so sad for your friend. It certainly isn`t the time to have to deal with all those relationship problems. It`ll do her good to spend time with you in the Florida sunshine.
Love Sandra xxxx
An illness like cancer takes a terrible toll on relationships. I've seen people get divorced while battling life-threatening conditions -- it doesn't make any sense to me, but it's very common. Sad.
Russ
Sorry to hear about your friend Lyn. It's always tougher when we are so far away. At least she has something to look forward to in coming to see you in June! I am sure you with have a great time. And I agree...it's about time we had a 'Dance Party' in J-land!
Hugs
Wendy in Oz
Thoughts and prayers to your friend.
It's been a real shitty week all around.
hugs,
E.
I did wonder where you had been, but just thought you were busy and enjoying life. Once again, love your five! Life's too short not to dance whenever and wherever you can...that's my motto!

Yes i wondered where you had got to,The thought did cross my mind that you were at the airport waiting for me!!Sorry about your friend, Its seems alot of bad stuff going on round here at the mo.Beckie,xx
There's that Country Western song by Leanne Rimes (sp?) called Dance that's been out for quite some time and I think it says it all! The greatest tribute we can give to those students is to rock on!
I really am so glad that your friend is coming to visit in June. I think it will be a balm for both of your souls. Just the ticket! I hope your weekend is one of joy and relaxation!
Love,
Susie

Sad news about your friend I hope life improves for her from now on.
Have a lovely weekend.
Linda x.
How sad for your friend. Was she dumped or did she finish it? It seems quite the wrong time to have to go through all that shit. It is no fun being single again but if she is only 40 she is young enough to be able to start again God willing. I was devestated by the shootings in Virginia too. it was indeed a shitty week. Love Conniex
I thought you'd been quiet this week. Sorry to hear about your friend, what a difficult time it is for her and especially now having to sort out new housing and being by herself. I bet she is really looking forward to coming out to see you in June and I know you probably won't be able to resist doing something really special for her 40th. Its good she has a friend like you and that she has the trip to look forward to. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Terry x
So sorry to hear about your friend but am sure a holiday with you in the sun will help a lot. Have a good weekend Love Joan.
Hello Lyn,
Yes, the Virginia Tech murders were just a senseless waste of great lives. Just so sad. I'm sorry for your friend. Kind of the last thing she needed right now.
PS: I sent you an email about your graphic with instructions. Let me know ok? :)
Huggers,
Gayla
Your friend and hubby are both lucky to have you....
Enjoy the pool!
Linda :)
I will think good thoughts for your sweet friend.....how awful the relationship has to end at this time. I hope you have had a good weekend.
love,lj
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend hon! I'm keeping her in my prayers on the smoke! (Hugs) Indigo
I hate to hear that you friend is having to go through such a rough time. I'm sure that coming to visit you in June will be a big help. Glad to hear you're well.
Lori
Oh I am so sorry for Di. That is hard enough to go through well, I can only imagine how hard it is when she battling so much with cancer. I will pray hard for her to have strength and peace!
Hugs
Carrie
It isn't bad enough for your friend to battling cancer but now she has to go through this crap too! I hope everything works out for her. One good thing is that it will be nice for you to see her in June.
My family and I were traveling home from Florida on Friday and we saw and smelled the smoke on I95. I hope the smoke clears out for you soon and they get it under control.
June
Hope the bush fires haven't lasted too long that must be bad that you can't open your windows. We have a smelly factory near here and when the winds blowing the wrong way it's nasty to open our windows. Hope you managed to sit out by the pool though xx
Jenny
What are you reading now and where do you get these discount coupons from Yankee Candle? :)
