November 2003 Archives

I am trying something new. Starting on Dec 1, I am going to take at least one picture a day and add it to a daily photo blog. This will be separate from the "regular photoblog".
You can access this Daily Photoblog with the link in the Menu. (Dec '03 Photoblog)
If I like it and it works this month I may continue it next month also. We will see. Let me know if you like it.

The turkey is really starting to smell GOOD!

Was up at 6am to get the bird and "stuff" ing ready and into the oven. It is now about 11:45 and things are smelling right along.

House is clean and we are just waiting for the arrival of the family. There will be 9 in all unless there are some straggling homeless that drop by. That is always welcome here. The more the merrier.
Just throw on a couple more potatoes.

Turkey, potatoes and gravy, dressing (alot of it) olives, green stuff salad, green bean casserole, rolls, cranberry sauce. That's just dinner. Then there is pecan pie, pumkin cream cheese roll, and cheesecake for dessert.

So much for my Atkins diet today. Oh well there is always tomorrow.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Okay... so "I" am not famous, but I did someone famous.

Okay... so I didn't "DO" someone famous in the way you are thinking of "doing" someone. But I did cut his hair.

An old friend came by to visit today.

We went to high school together and we were two of the three musketeers. We did everything together. We survived first husbands ( and her second husband) We gave birth to 5 kids between us. (All boys by the way). She even got married to her current hubby in my back yard.

For some reason we lost touch. She moved away to live with her elderly parents things changed. We would send email once in awhile but never seemed to get together.

I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightening when it lights up the sky.

You know if makes me feel good.

Such a beautiful sight, I love to feel the rain on my face taste the rain on my lips in the moon light shining.

Puts a song in this heart of mine, puts a smile on my face everytime.

I love a rainy night.

Showers wash all my cares away. I wake up to a sunny day.

Cause I love a rainy night.

:)

I used my hubby's circular power saw today!

God that this is heavy!

I was cutting a board to make shelves for my cabinet at work. And if I do say so myself I didn't do half bad. The cuts were not "EXACT" but close enough.

And like I said I still have my fingers and there was not a drop of blood anywhere.

:)

I had lunch with Mom today. I was really nice.

We went on an adventure and went to a new place. It was called Carlsbad Tavern on Hayden Road in Scottsdale.

Mom took me to a bar. LOL

Actually it was a great place with an awesome patio. Now that the weather is so beautiful it was wonderful sitting outside. (even a bit chilly)

I ordered a 1/2 lb green chili burger and salad and Mom ordered the "Blue Plate Special" which was a country fried steak and salad.

The meal came and Mom's steak was hanging over the plate. You should have seen her eyes. LOL Needless to say, she has her dinner too.

I would recommend this place for lunch. Lots to choose from and prices were in the mid to high range but you get LOTS of food.

of employment.

Granted I have only worked two days there and one of those days was by myself. But even alone in the shop I feel comfortable.

So far my ladies have not had much problem getting in and out of the parking lot. Which is the worst part of the place. But time will tell.

It was almost disappointing!

"The BOSS" was not there today (while I was there anyway, I guess he came in at 1) So I just finished my people, packed up my stuff and left the note and key on his station.

My coworker (who is going to give her notice next week and follow me) said he never said a word. DOH! Not surprised!

I am free!!!!!!

Got myself all moved into the new salon and will start work on Monday.

They were excited to see me. It is so nice to feel wanted!

Wish me luck!

I only have a very short day today. So when I am done with my customers I am handing "The Weirdo" an envelope with my shop key and a note that says:

Enclosed you will find my salon key. I am terminating my employment with you. I ask that you give any of my customers that may call, my cell phone number: 555-555-5555. and I signed it.

Short and sweet.

Then I am packing my stuff and getting out.

I don't expect him to say a word to me OR give my cell number to anyone who calls, because that is the way he is...but this way he can't say that he didn't have my cell number.

I'll let you know how it comes out.
