Tuesdays with Lyn

Good morning campers!

Hope you all had a great weekend..we did go to the beach..got down there in time to go to lunch with my friend and her 2 daughters..we decided to go to Bella's which is an Italian restaurant on the beach...we sit down ..order a pizza pie and are playing the trivial pursuit they have at each table...all of a sudden my friend yells out..I look up thinking she is excited because she knows the answer and see this look of horror on her face..she is looking at the floor..I immediately lift my feet off the floor thinking Snake ..I ask her "what is it?" she whispers a  F*^#ing RAT!!!!!!  it ran right across the floor in the restaurant....holy freakin moly the only thing I hate worse than snakes are RATS..I am totally hyperventilating..got my feet in the air...shuddering...well we can't stay there now so I go up to the counter and ask for the manager..this 12 year old comes out and says "what's the problem?" I tell her about the RAT..she sighs and tells the cook "they seen another one" I tell her we're out of there and she says to my friend.."um hello this is the beach..they are sand rats and we get them all the time" in a very bored tone..wonder how bored she will be when the health department come by because they will because guess who called and told them yep..me..had to..can't believe they think having a RAT run through the restaurant in the middle of the day is okay...<sigh>

The weather cooperated and I spent a very pleasant afternoon reading on the beach..we went to the famers market and the bookstore too and then out for mexcian and margaritas at night..got up to a HUGE breakfast cooked by friends hubby and then drove home..it was a nice  get away and I am glad the weather held up... Saturday night hubby and I went out for dinner as both kids were working and then Sunday was a whirlwind of grocery shopping... laundry..housework rewarded with 2 hours by the pool and a pedicure at the mall.. then I made Lasagna for supper and got my uniforms ready for the week..I worked yesterday on the front desk...it was the usual Monday mayhem.. I am off today but work tomorrow and Thursday as I am filling in for one of the girls who has to go to court to put her babys daddy on child support.... I am so glad I am not young and dumb anymore...:-) just old and crabby...LOL....

I am playing catch up on my alerts...

Y'all have a great week....

Good Morning Campers..

It's friday!! Hubby is home safe and sound and our friends have invited us to the beach again this weekend so we are driving down this morning..the guys are going to play golf today while the girls hang on the beach and then we are going out to dinner tonight..I hope the weather cooperates because so far every time we have attempted this beach thing it has rained!! I don't want to sound ungrateful but I cannot take another day shut inside in pouring rain in a small condo with two huge dogs and the kids while the guys are off golfing...I can see the eyes rolling right now but trust me wet dogs stink and if I am going to be stuck inside because of the weather I would much rather be here with all my creature comforts... however if the sun is out there is no where I would rather be than on the beach with a good book and a cold beer.. the weather is predicting it's usual 40% chance of thunderstorms and showers but where and when they will show up is a wait and see game...wish me luck...;-)

 

Tummy troubles seem to be over...I still don't know what caused them but I am just happy that they're gone...

 

Somebody stole Max off my sidebar..so if you see my little Monkey hanging around tell him he still has Bananas on Brit's Blog..;-)

 

I got a super cute super short haircut yesterday..yes another one..my hair grows like wildfire..especially in the summer...I have a confession..I went to someone else..I love the girl that does my hair but lately she has not been cutting enough off and the straggly bits on my neck have been driving me ape so yesterday I went into this ultra trendy salon in the mall where they do a LOT of short haircuts and they did me right.. I am loving it..will have to remember to take a pic...

 

So I'm outta here..you guys have a wonderful weekend ..I have been slacking in listing my five good things lately so let me leave you with some things that I am grateful for...

 

1.Hubby is home and had a great time...

2..new Journals..keep watching this space because I am going to do a list soon....

3...Invites to the beach..;-)

4....great books...reading Joanna Trollope at the moment...

5..... steaks on the grill cooked in the nick of time before the heavens opened last night...

6...... I think I may have found a church that I could actually get into...

7....... MJ"s new tattoo..she rocks and so does her tattoo...

8........freshly ground coffee...it DOES make a difference...

9......... Brandon let us shave his head..his new hair that grew in after chemo was looking awful..like fine baby hair so he is now sporting a buzz cut and looks so darn handsome...AND he is doing well..

10..........All of you reading this...

Wicked Wednesday

Good morning campers!

  Hope this finds everyone doing well. The floods did hit my village back home and things are pretty bad in some areas but thank god my family missed the worse of it..high street is on a hill and luckily they are on the upward slope so they were okay..other parts of the village did not fare so well. Richard Branson (Virgin Records) has a home in the village and his place was flooded out.

The barbecue went well..nothing to report..they actually had a great time and thanked us by taking us for Indian food last night and now I have an "upset" stomach...I think I got a dodgy shrimp in the curry but I could be wrong..anyway I did not go to work because there is no way I could handle taking back patients today and I have a thing about using the restroom anywhere but at home so ..weird I know but there you have it....

Hubby has been in Norfolk since sunday so it's been kinda quiet around here..and kinda nice to be honest with you but don't tell him..;-) We are off to the beach house again this weekend ..tummy troubles permitting...nothing else to report....

I WAS going to lay by the pool..might as well top up the tan between visits to the loo but wouldn't you know the gutter guys have showed up...just my luck...

Have a great hump day...

TGIF

Good Morning Campers!!!!

 Hope everyone is doing well this Friday morning....I am doing great..tickets are booked for Sue and Dads flights...they are coming Sept. 15th...please don't anyone tell them that is peak hurricane season here or I will never get them over here!! Just hope and pray with all I have that we don't get major storms while they are here...and that my sister doesn't read this Journal..I don't think she does or she would have said something by now but one never knows...;-)

We had Mexican food and margaritas last night which as you all know is our usual FRIDAY night ritual but we did it last night instead because we are having a little barbecue tonight for the relatives that are in town..let me talk about that for a minute...it is a little complicated so pay attention..;-)

My mother in law died in Dec 1997 in UK..my father in law  remarried one of their friends from the past in July 1998 and bought her to the states to live..They actually lied to us about the marriage..they told us they were marrying the following year but I busted them when I was at their house and answered the phone and it was immigration wanting to speak to Mrs Hatfield..as I thought I was the only Mrs Hatfield I said "this is her"..well obviously they were looking for the new Mrs. Hatfield...LOL..busted!! Actually is wasn't funny and all hell broke lose but let me get back to the story...I know the "lady" he married..and her whole family..I went to school with her kids...so now that the two families have "blended" we get to see them when they come over to visit....so hence tonight I will be having my father in law and his wife who I refer to as "the witch" and her son who I went to school with who is now somehow related to me in this complicated mess and his partner who used to be the barmaid at our local pub and their 3 kids over for a barbecue..how I ended up with this lot on my lawn is truly one of those you'd have to see it to believe it stories..they actually live in Ireland..the barmaid is from there originally and they moved back over there years ago....the son is what you call a bit of a hard arse..always in trouble back home and his partner was commonly called the village bike if you get my drift but in the name of family we try to put all this behind us and have a good time...hubby can't stand the new Mrs Hatfield..none of us can to be honest with you but we do what we have to to respect the old man...hubby is also resentful of the "family" who get to come over here and enjoy free holidays round his dads house...so the mere fact that he asked them over here is amazing to me and I for one will be monitoring the consumption of alcohol tonight as I can see the potential for the two hard arses from back in the day having a go at it!!

If you're still reading and even better still following this god love ya!!

Anyway what started this whole thought process is that I have been thinking it was Saturday all morning because we ate Mexican last night...LOL..amazing where the mind wanders eh??

Have a great weekend ....

my sister 

 

 

Her shed where her computer and ebay stuff are set up....

I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!!

I'm back..a day early..;-) Fixed it myself..well actually the cable company gave me a new modem (had to go to their office to pick it up) and after about an hour and a few choice swear words I am now back up and running...amazing how we come to depend on this internet world of ours..you don't realise just how much you use it until it's gone..I needed directions  last night and a phone number.... had to do it the old fashioned way and use the yellow pages..LOL.. I did try to read my email on my phone but it's not the same..the screen is so tiny and it's a lot slower....but I did check just to make sure I didn't miss anything juicy... ;-) The cable company thinks my modem got knocked out by lightening..we did have some pretty heavy thunderstorms over the weekend so maybe so...all's well that ends well though right?

I do have some GOOD news to share....my sister and my dad are coming over in September for 2 weeks!! I am tickled to death! My dad called me yesterday morning and I heard the dreaded words "I have got something to tell you" I hate opening lines like that.. but this time it was happy news... made my day.. I guess Di must have gone back and told them what a fab time she had and how they are missing out ...whatever she said did the trick because they are coming...tickets are being booked as we speak..to say I am excited is the understatement of the year!! My dad hasn't been over for 9 years and my sister for 4 so they are well overdue.... They weren't going to tell me but I'm glad they did because half the fun of something is looking forward to it... I will probably drive you all nuts for the next 8 weeks going on about it..... ;-)

So anyway that's my good news....I am off to read some Journals and see what I've missed....thanks for all the sweet comments...

L

P.S. Congratulations to Mrs Darby!!!!!

Saying No....

Good Morning Campers...

Does anyone else have a hard time saying no sometimes??

Case in point. the happy hour thing. ...It was at Shannons which is a good 20 miles from here...over a huge bridge (I have issues with that bridge) and in rush hour traffic. I was going to go..bear in mind I always have to drive over there because everyone lives over that side or are already over there because they are working...well about 30 minutes before I was supposed to leave the heavens opened here in typical late afternoon Florida tradition..it was thundering...pouring rain..lightening..etc etc.. just plain old miserable out..so I decide I am not going to drive all the way over there in that mess just to have a drink..well they gave me 'attitude' to put it mildy...it's always the same..if I say no to anything it is a big deal. Two of the others weren't going anyway..I don't know if I should be flattered that it bothers them if I don't go or pissed off that they make me feel so darn guilty...anyone that knows me knows I HATE driving anyway so they should have known I wouldn't have wanted to drive in that storm...

Anyways they made me feel like crap..I kept looking out the window..hoping it would brighten up..hubby was like "look just forget about it..it was an after work drink not a meeting and if you don't want to go don't go..no worries" easy for him to say.... <sigh>   

 

                                      

                                   

(This is the actual bridge..just one side of it..it has four lanes coming the other way too...)

TGIF and all that jazz...........

Good Morning Campers!!

                          How are we all this morning? Ready for the weekend? I am... we don't really have any plans and that's okay.. I have plenty to keep me busy around here..Having said that I am going to the Irish pub tonight to meet up with my co workers for happy hour.... but other than that we will be winging it here..whatever we feel like doing we shall do..kind of nice to have no set plans sometimes....

 I did buy some of those photo/video storage boxes yesterday at Michael's.. I have so many photos laying around and I know I will never get them all in albums so boxes are the next best thing....

                     

It has been raining all week here...the grass is so long and every thing is growing out of control out in the yard.... so I guess if the weather is permitting we shall be doing some tidying up out there too....

Not a whole lot to talk about this morning so I shall leave you with my five....

               

1. Gym time....

2.. New markers and images colouring book..yes I LOVE to colour.....

3... my neck is finally "crick" free...driving was a nightmare when I couldn't turn my head.....

4.. new fragrance from Yankee candles...Mango Peach salsa....smells soo good....

5.....All of you as always....

Tuesdays with Lyn

Good Morning Campers!

 How is everyone this morning?

I have been reading journals and piddling around on here for a couple of hours now..it always amazes me how time flies ...I call it going into the Computer Coma..LOL

I have been to the gym already though..2 mornings in a row..I am determined to get back into the routine of going every day... True Beauty went with me..we are so not morning people..we do not say a word all the way there..and barely a word on the way back either...LOL.. I used to be a morning person..but these days I can't be arsed to talk to anyone until I have had at least 2 cups of coffee..I think I am just getting old and it takes me longer to "wake up"..weird huh?

I need to make a to-do list for today..if I don't I can see how this day is going to be over before I know it and nothing will get accomplished...

Okay...here goes...

Balance checkbook online..

call and find out where the refund is from direct debit for car payment..they took an extra payment out on the old truck...imagine that..

mail rebate for phone...

Go to mall and get Yankee tarts and remember the coupon ($10 off purchase of $25)..

Go to World Market and pick up Indian Curry Sauce..only place that sells it around here...<hi Lisa>

Take chicken out freezer to make above mentioned curry...

Take cuttings from orange flowered bushes (forgot name) and pot them...

call and find out where in the world is waldo..I mean the gutter guy....

Do laundry...

Buy bananas for Max..;-)

That should keep me off here for while don't ya think?? ;-)

Hope you are all keeping cool..it is supposed to hit the high 90's here today..hope the sun is shining on the other side of the pond..I would go check the forecast for over there but I am seriously getting off here right now....  ;-)

Pretty Pink Chocolate....

Guess what I am the proud new owner of??

 

                     LG Pink Chocolate (Multimedia phone)

 

Yep a Strawberry Pink Chocolate mobile phone from Verizon...;-)

We were due for an upgrade so hubby and I both got the chocolate..his is black...cost $50 for his..mine free... and they gave us the $50 rebate..so basically we got 2 phones for free...gotta love upgrades....

I am doing the happy new phone dance...I have V cast and YES I can check AOL on it....not to mention I finally have a camera phone..woo hoo!

okay..back to your regularly scheduled postings... ;-)

Maui no ka oi....

 

My real Bed Buddy

off to a retirement ceremony this morning....(not his ;-)

grass needs cutting after all that rain....

Trying to look like a stern Master Chief...LOL

New Bed Buddy

Good Morning Campers! <winks at Russ>

How are we all this morning? Well it's finally happened..after 24 years of marriage I have a new Bed Buddy..yep sure do..Wanna see a pic??

                       The Original Bed Buddy

 

Cute ain't he?? LOL.. Seriously this thing is amazing..I have a had a crick in my neck for the past week and it has been getting worse...it was killing me yesterday after sleeping on different pillows Wednesday night so I went to the pharmacy and got me some Arthritis rub and my new "Bed Buddy"..you just put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes..wrap it around your neck and viola!! And yes I did take it to bed with me last night ;-)...I am also taking Ibuprofen around the clock so I guess the combination of all three has finally got me to the point where I can look over my shoulder comfortably....let me tell you getting old sucks....

Talking of sucking the weather did 4th July..it rained ALL day....we would venture out between showers but it pretty much rained continually..then when the rain stopped the wind kicked in so NO fireworks.. :-(  ..not the official ones off the pier anyway but we did see a few in the background and of course people were setting them off themselves..we did have a good time though...I ate way too much though..I was miserable ..it has been a  long long time since I over indulged like that and I paid for it..I was a slug yesterday... but what else are you going to do when you are stuck in a condo with 7 people with nowhere to go and the host happens to be Filipino and cooks the most amazing tasting things like marinated pork on a stick...crab and artichoke dip..the best steamed rice.. just to name a few....<sigh. But I am back on track and it was a good reminder of how overeating makes you feel...

So what are your plans this weekend?? I plan on spending some time out by the pool.. the weather of course is picture perfect today..blue skies and sunshine....we are waiting for the guys to come and finish the gutter and put the lights back up too..why is it workmen NEVER complete a job? they always leave a couple of annoying little details undone and have to come back... <sigh>

Whatever you are doing this weekend I hope you have a great one...

L

P.S. Quick shout out to my man Gaz who is home from Sunny Spain.. I missed you baby!!

Tuedays with Lyn.......

Good Morning Campers!

A proper entry from me for a change ;-)

How are all my rocking girls this morning?? (and guys)... By the way the reference to the pineapple was an ode to the troll..remember?? Called me Pineapple head a few months back..but I would have to agree I can see a similarity especially with the new haircut...could be worse..could be onion head...;-)

I have been to the gym already and am working on my 2nd cup of coffee so I am wired for sound this morning...lots going on around here again..we have had vinyl siding put up on the fascia and soffets of our house..(the trim basically for you brits)..so we will never have to paint this house again...except the stucco but that only needs painting every few years..we had wood trim before and it does not hold up well to the harsh Florida sun..it peels and cracks and needs re doing every couple of years.. our goal is to have everything that needs doing to this house done before hubby retires from the Navy in a few years.. I would say we are almost there...he wants a sprinkler system installed and then we are done...this house is pretty much brand new  now...LOL...we are also having new gutters put in and they are supposed to be here again today...

The kids are okay..I know I shouldn't call them "kids" as they are 22 and 17 but they are kids to me..True beauty is about to have a severe reality check if she doesn't sign up for classes and finish her Associates degree..she is only a couple of credits short..the deal was rent free while in school but me thinks she may be dragging it out on purpose...ya think???  Big man thinks he is just that and can do whatever the hell he wants..he may be 6' 7" but he is 17 and a minor and he needs to remember that...he is pushing the envelope with me let me tell you....what is it about boys though? one look from him or a hug and I am jelly...and hubby is same with true beauty...glad we have one of each I guess....

Hubby is doing better..he had a little problem that he would be mortified if I told you about so lets just say he had a sore bottom for a few days...;-) Of course he has been the brunt of endless jokes around here ..he was given some percocet for pain and he was as high as a kite and hilarious...

Cadet is missing Di..she spoilt him rotten...she fell in love with him and may even get herself a little dog when she gets settled in her new house..Fin the fish is still doing well and I just bought him a new bowl..Di didn't like the old one..she said it was too small so he got a new bowl and seems happy as a fish can be swimming around in endless circles...;-)

We are off to the Beach to stay at our friends Beach house for the fourth July celebrations..they do fireworks right off the pier there so we will have an incredible view..the kids don't want to come so they are staying home and doing doggie duty..Cadet barks like a maniac at the fireworks...

So that's it from my neck of the woods...I have got over my blues of missing Di..she is doing fine and excited to move into her new place and start a new chapter in her life...I wish her all the best and continue to pray that she is in remission..she won't get the all clear for another couple of months...

Have a wonderful Tuesday..be safe if you are traveling..all this terrorist activity has me fearful...I was nervous about the  concert on Sunday for Princess Diana which by the way was amazing and a great trip down memory lane for me and I was so proud of her gorgeous boys....

there I go rambling again...I shall leave you with my five and get out of here...;-)

1. Rain..we needed it and boy did we get it...

2..Great day at work yesterday...busy and the day flew by ..office manager bought lunch too..bonus!

3...Getting back into the swing of things..including the gym..feels great...

4.... The incredible moon...have you seen it the past couple of nights?..beautiful..makes me want to reach up and grab it...

5.....All of you reading this..except you trolls..:-P

Rocking Girl Blogger

 

                                

Well I came home to two of these today...and yes I am tickled pink..thank you Mary Jo and Donna....I tried to come up with just five girls that I think deserve this award but you know what? in my eyes you are all deserving of a Rocking Girl blogger award..shoot even you guys reading...especially Gaz..Russ and Stevie...;-)  So consider yourself awarded.. you know who you are..all my faithful readers who put up with my never ending surveys..my endless bragging about days by the pool.. my Margarita and Mexican nights..my tales of woe from the office..my shameless plugging of the military...and all things British...the dreaded pics of my tired old pineapple head...;-)  no matter what I write you are there cheering me on..and I thank you for it..so rock on bloggers..rock on!!

OOOOh can I ask you anything? OOOh right what shall it be! hmmmm

1) What would you do if your best friend was on a date with a guy that you liked very very much and she wanted to borrow your best sexiest dress?
 
I'd say go for it....if he asked her out he must like her so what difference would it make what she wears?? if he's dated my best friend he's outta bounds for me ....

2) Do you like peas? one of the only veggies I  will eat....

3) Do you wash your old undies before you throw them away?
 
this made me laugh till I thought about it and then realized I would probably notice if they needed throwing away AFTER they came out the dryer so yes... LOL great question BTW

Am I wierd or something those questions just came out LOL

Three questions...
1) Do you like the Anew you ordered from last year?  Don't those jars just last forever???
I loved it and I need more but the shipping wouldn't be worth it now... :-(

2) I seem to remember reading that you are from England.  How old were you when you moved from there to America and how do you like it here?
I was 21 and I love it here..I got married and then came here so my whole "adult" life has been over here..I think things could have been a lot different had I stayed over there though...and not in a good way...

3)  What are your thoughts on Princess Diana and Charles and the Royals?
I adored Diana..can't stand Charles but love the royals as a whole..especially Harry and William....
Hugs,

At this point we know the square root of Pi lies between 1.75 and 1.78125. ... After a while we will see that the square root of Pi equals 1.77245. ...

Question 2:  Do you own a magic 8 ball?
No I don't but always play with them in the toy stores...
