This week I'm in search of an outlet store for Le Crueset!!! I don't want to have to drive all the way back to Palm Springs - but if I have too... I might do that later in the month and hit DL for a couple of days. We'll see.
I should be 5'3" but could be shrinking!!
Buying trousers(pants) is a pain!
Hey Peggy, isn't there one at the Anthem mall? You can also get a pretzel dog at Auntie Anne's while you're there!
I have been reading everything everyone has been posting, but too exhausted to comment and catch up . . .
Not a very good day. Rough day at the office, and when I was getting ready to leave, Amy called with bad news - leak in the waterbed. We have had a water bed since we were married. The first one was one of those kind you usually think of - bookcase type, big sideboards, dark ugly wood, etc. About 3 years ago we made a switch to one that looks like a traditional bed, but has tubes filled with water hidden in the mattress.
I have really loved our waterbeds, and other than on the Magic, I usually sleep badly on other beds.
Well, I called the store that sells water beds in town, and he told me he sells the tubes - $25 each, or all 10 for $200.
I get home, and start to try and figure out what to do. There was not much water that got out, it is all in the liner, and I am trying to figure out what tube is leaking, but they are ALL wet! Impossible to figure out easily or quickly which one is the leaker, and I do not want to sleep on the couch tonight. So I resign myself to buying all 10 new tubes.
Get to the store at 7:00, and the guy says, "oh, you have a King size, I have to order those, takes about 2 days!"
So what are my options here . . . he does have the big "bladders", and I can buy two of those for $250. I don't know if any of you have a waterbed, but the WORST part is filling up the bed - seems to take FOREVER.
While I am trying to figure out if I can get to another store before closing, he tells me I do have another option . . . switching it to an "air" bed. Now that sounds intruiging - no more hoses and water, I can set my side to my own level of comfort . . . sounds good. But the glorified canvas "raft" that goes inside costs $350!
Options are running out, as is time. My choices are very limited if I plan on sleeping on my own bed . . . so there goes $670 all in the name of a good night's sleep. So once I am done catching up, I will find out if sleeping on air is better than water. Sorry for the long post - what an ordeal!
Whine and brag to your heart's content. And if you don't have anything to whine or brag about....make something up! I love a good story.....did I ever tell you about the time Bill Murray thumbed his nose at me?.....
No, you never told us about the time Bill Murray thumbed his nose at you.....spill.....
Hmmmmmm, do I see a lunch at Rock Springs in my future...or are you heading up there on your day off?
I found a friend for Bobby Banana to meet on the cruise. He arrived at our house today along with the passports.
We call him Jack.
RUN Bobby, RUN!!!!
....and long dresses and skirts too!!!
Sometimes they do shorter skirts so I can get a 'long' length, but then it can be too short!
Heck, I'll even be nice and warn them today that I'll probably be an hour late tomorrow. They'll get over it! 
Somehow, despite Tyler not waking up until 7:40, I still managed to make it to work at 8:30! Amazing! Good thing too, because tomorrow morning we'll definitely be running late because the show we're going to today doesn't even start until 7pm, so he sure won't be making his 8pm bedtime! I suspect he won't wake up until 9am tomorrow. But that's OK because even if work gets angry with me, I leave for vacation in 4 days! WOOHOO!
do you know how slippery that coconut oil can be
Watch out Holly You could take this away
Hey Peggy, isn't there one at the Anthem mall? You can also get a pretzel dog at Auntie Anne's while you're there!

Hi Jan, is the Radisson at the airport or near Port Canaveral? We're staying at the Holiday Inn Oceanfront in Cocoa Beach. We have a suite with a private balcony that overlooks the ocean. We usually watch the ship come in and get all excited. I'm not certain of what other hotels are close to the Port. I know our tablemates are staying nearby and we plan to do dinner with them the night before we leave. You might want to get their opinion.
Lisa (LisaG520), if you're reading this....what hotel are you staying at again????
Did anyone watch Pirate Master last Thurs night???? It's a new "survivor like" reality show by Mark Burnett. I watched it and thought it was great. They really search for treasure on a pirate ship. Can't wait to see it again this Thurs....then again, I'm a reality show junkee!!!!!
