Good Morning Campers!!
How is everyone?? Did you have a good weekend?? Do anything fun?? I can't believe it's been a whole week since I wrote an entry.... we have been pretty busy around here...hubby is working the honey-do list ;-) He is painting the den and hallway at the moment...I went out and bought all new matching picture frames for the hall wall..that's where all the family pics are... Kohl's had 40% off their frames and then I had an additional 15% off coupon plus an in store credit of $25..made a huge dent in the total and as I had over 30 frames I needed it...I filed our taxes and we are getting a nice refund back..that's due to hubby having a couple of tax free months while overseas.good news on his orders his pay will be tax free the whole time...;-) I got my new glasses..they are taking a bit of getting used to as they are progressive lenses so I have to remember to move my head...felt a little drunk in them yesterday...LOL.. the best part is I now have prescription sunglasses..and Coach ones at that.... ;-) Yesterday True Beauty and I went to the movies..we saw Grand Torino..it was amazing..I highly recommend it....
On a sour note my best friend of 7 years and I have fallen out..I obviously can't go into details on this public blog but I will tell you what I can..as you know her Mum just died and we went to her parents house to pick up the last of her Mums things she wanted as her dad is moving out of state...well whilst there he told me some unsettling financial stuff that Jen had done without her Mums permission...I did not believe him ..couldn't believe him really...but he gave me proof in the form of a statement..I confronted Jen and she denied it...only to find out the next day it was all true...I could care less what she did but why lie to me? and then when the truth came out why not just an apology for lying and move on?? no she is still in denial and turned really ugly and mean to me..I am thinking it is just shame and embarrassment causing her to act this way...I am hoping when she calms down we can talk....yes it is shameful what she did but I would never desert a true Friend because of a bad decision..she had her reasons I am sure.... but I am left reeling here...I feel like a limb is missing... please say a little prayer if you are so inclined...
I am of to work...have a great week everyone...

I bet you look great in your new glasses..take a pic sometime and show us....congrats on a big refund and that is so cool that Lester is busy with the honey do list!
I'm sorry about the deal with your firend. Praying that everything works out. Yea about hubby pay...& a sizable refund.
I'll say a little prayer for you and your friend. It is very hard when someone you consider a best friend turns on you that way. I've had it happen over the years and I guess they really weren't friends after all. I'm glad you have such a nice hubby to do things. It sure does make a big difference. Have a great Monday!
'On Ya'-ma
Well done Lester getting all that decorating done, and well done to you for buying your bargain frames ,I hope your friend soon sees reason ..love Jan xx
Lynn, I've been trying to leave you a comment for ever and a day and I think I finally have it cracked. I am so sorry to hear that your husband will be going over to the sand pit and for such a horridly long time. A lady I work with has her husband over there for three months but says that the British army is never good for their word and he has never come home on time and this is his 3rd deployment over there. So glad I found you again!
Congrats on the Coach glasses!
I hope you and are your friend are able to work through this soon!
Coach Sunglasses eh? Well, you'll sure be stylin' Chica!!!

Great news on the refund and glasses. We haven't done our taxes yet. My husband usually does them the last day, sigh. Sorry about your friend. Hopefully it will work out.
When hubby is done over there will you send him this way?
I use to love the tax free pay! You will be able to bank so much money.
Death. It seems to be affecting everyone.

I wear progressives, too. I remember it took me about a week to get used to them. Take a pic and let us see them!
Glad you're getting a refund. I always owe...what's up with that?? Nice to have hubby around to do the honey do list, huh? Can I borrow him for a day? I've got some painting that needs to be done??
I don't know what to say about your friend. I lost Joey and we were friends for over 35 years. He won't even speak to me. Good luck sweetie.

Sounds like your hallway is going to look great with the new pictures ~ and all the lovely fresh paintwork ~ look forward to seeing a picture of you wearing your new glasses ~ and how lovely you have that tax refund ~ hope all works out with your friend ~ Hopefully she had a good reason for keeping you in the dark ~ Ally x
Hi Lyn, I think your friend was nasty to you because you had found her out. I`m sure she`ll come round before to long and perhaps explain why she did what she did. How nice to get a refund, it doesn`t happen very often here. I had one last Summer and I almost fainted with shock...lol! I hope you get used to the new glasses soon, I know they can be a nuisance for a while.
Love and Hugs
Sandra xxxx
Looking forward to seeing you in your new glasses. Hope it all works out with you and your friend sounds like an awkward situation. xx
I am sure you and your friend will figure it out ... I am sure she is just having a moment ...
I got new glasses too ... show them off when you have a chance...
~~Emma~~
Glad I found your blog....it's great (and very pretty!).
hope your friend comes back soon!!
hello lyn, glad you'd been posting. I hope you will show your wall of photos. I got nice frames from ACMOORE. I put my autumn photoa is them and it looks great with black frames around the colorful leaves.Each frames helsd 9,4x6 photos. One of these days I'll show them off.You take care and your friend's mum is in my prayer. Nancy
Hi hun, always great to see a blog from you. I miss yah. Thts awesome you all got a great tax refund ;) We did too and well have been putting it to good use, haa, lol. But we are trying to be careful too ;) Im glad you got your beautiufl pics frams for the house. I love Kohls they always have greta deals. I bet the new glasses are awesome Im thinking of getting some too or at least some prescription sunglases, that woudl be neat. Oh and thats good too you and True beauty got to see a movie i heard that one was good.I will have to go see it. Im so sorry too about you and your friends falling out ;( I really can get where your coming from there. Its so hard to have a big disagreement with your close friends esp one where you find out they held things for you. i really hope she will calm down and let you all have a chance to talk. I really hope it works out. Take care hun. Have a good day tomm. Sending prayers your way, xo, Leslie
Well, GOOOOO LESTER! I need you to come up here and paint ours next, ok?
I'll bet your glasses are very nice but we'll never know how pretty you are with them on unless you show us, will we?
The incident with your friend has to be so painful. It's such a shock that someone you loved and trusted withheld some information. Her father shouldn't have been telling you family business. No one seems to be in their right mind for a long time when they're still grieving. I hope she realizes she's reacting out of shame. Please take this time to pray and find out if her season in your life has ended or she's forever. I'm sorry for the fact that it hurts I know it does. I'll say prayers for you to have some peace and clarity about that situation, strength to be able to step away for a bit and breathe.
Thinking of you today,
Nelishia
enjoy that refund. Things with the friend should work out. everything is a mess with her right now, and she probably doesn't know which is up, to be honest. She just knows she hurts and is mad and is lashing out.
have a great week!
tina
Great deal on the frames..I buy a ton of them...lol
I'll say a prayer that things work out with your friend. I know how that loss feels.
Sheri
I have been thinking about repainting my living room this spring and I have pics that need new frames...good idea!
love ya,
carlene
My new glasses are supposed to be ready on Friday and I had to get the progressive lenses for the first time also, they told me it should only take a few days to get used to them. I hope so! I will say a little prayer for you and your friend, I know I would be lost without my BFF. Linda
L, I had that same situation with helping a few older people, one child(usu the last one you'd not expect)will take a little something, often re-arrange it so it doesn't look like what it is, & like you, I called them on it(many I've found will just say it behind someone's back but nod & smile when they see the person)& it turned VERY UGLY. I am so sorry this was your good friend. I am however glad you did approach her, since many older people have no one advocating for them.
Considering what your husband is doing, he shouldn't be paying taxes, that is my feeling anyway. With all the bitching about "big government" & being passive as doves, I'd like to see how everyone would act if there was no one to protect or defend them. ~Mary
I'm so sorry about your friend. I've had two friends to cut each other off in the last week. It is over senseless stuff. I hate that! I hope you and your friend can mend. I've had another friend to just cut me off and give no explaination. It hurts.
I hope all is going well with you and that your just out and about enjoying your Everyday. Take care and have fun,
Katie
Well, hunny, we both know that friend stuff can be good and it can really suck. I'm thinking of you. Hugs all around.
First off, Happy Valentines Day to such a wonderful woman. Secondly I'm so very sorry to hear about the rift with your best bud. It's so hard to not be on good terms with someone you consider family...I'm praying that things will work themeselves out soon. I'm sure you are right when you said that she is probably ashamed and I'm thinking that she will come around and realize she overreacted. Hope you have a great weekend!
Looking forward to seeing the results of hubby's hard work painting and also your new specs.Go on now get read for your new pic taking LOL!! Sorry about the prob with your friend.Time will tell,what has to be will be.Take Care Lynn. God Bless Kath xx
Hi Lyn, it's Linda. Popped in to catch up! I bet that was lovely shopping for all those frames, what a nice thing to do, reframe them all the same. big hugs, Linda x x
I'll send you a private comment.
OK, I need your e-mail, mine is on my profile.... if you need it.
Dear Lynn,
Thank you for dropping by my blog and saying hello. I love getting new blog friends.... and any friend of Marie's is a friend of mine. I hope that you will visit me often.
I am sorry about your friend. I hope that you will work it out. I wouldn't feel too badly about her lying to you. People do strange things when they are mouring a loss. She is not herself. In my college classes I taught a unit about behaviors. Children and grownups too often lie to try to please those they love. They know the truth will hurt their loved one and they want to prevent that. Perhaps she lied to you because she couldn't bare to hurt you with the truth. Of course now you feel badly because of the lie so her lie did not work and save you sorrow.
Be patient with her....give her love and time. Ask God to help you find the right words to tell her.I am sure that with love, prayer and time you two can work this out.
Have a good week. Please drop by my blog again. Hugs, Lura
Upps, I spelled your name wrong. My middle name is Lynn and I gave you one to many ns. Sorry about that. Force of habit I guess.
Hugs, Lura Lynn
It looks like I am all caught up with you again!! :)
Yeah for the tax refund!! I am sure you already have it mentally spent. :)
I hated my progressive lenses. I could never get used to them! But I LOVE my prescription sunglasses! :)
I am so sorry to hear about you and your bestie. I am sure you are still reeling.
(((HUGS)))
