SO

Oh my Goodness!!!!!! Only one more week in Florida. Tomorrow will be my last Monday. I can’t believe it. I spoke to my eldest son yesterday and he is still planning to come drive home with my hubby. He may come a few days after I leave and I told hubby it didn’t matter. I plan to drive home slowly. It will be like a vacation so instead of three nights on the road I may take four. So what? It will be easier. Hopefully the weather will be ok.
My daughter finally came over late yesterday afternoon. She always has such drama in her life. I would say it’s typical for teens but she’s thirty!!!!! Anyhow Saturday night she had a bachelorette party. I didn’t know they still had those. Anyhow to make a long story short one of her friends got very DRUNK!!!! My daughter tried to take her home in the limo that was hired for the night but apparently the driver told her that she would be charged 250 if the friend threw up in the limo. Instead my daughter took a taxi. Well she ended up leaving her phone in the taxi. She called the number and the driver picked it up and promised to return it to the office at Hard Rock Cafe. He didn’t! Instead he made a bunch of calls to Haiti. Forty dollars after and she still didn’t have the phone back. So last night we stopped at Target after eating wings for supper and she bought a new one.
I went to Bath and Body in the afternoon. I bought some lotions etc. I gave some to my daughter. Some I will put into baskets for presents. I will go to the Dollar Store tomorrow to buy some baskets. I was planning to put them together here but have to think about it because I will have to pack them up to take home. I will give one to a friend on Thursday because she invited us for supper. I need to make a list of people I plan to bring presents for.
It will be a relief to get in the car next Monday and start driving. There is so much to do before. I will start packing and putting things in the living room once the cleaning lady leaves tomorrow. I have to go through this place with a fine tooth comb because if I forget anything there is no way to get it. Actually hubby will still be here so he could bring it home.
Yesterday we went to the clubhouse to see the annual art show from Century Village. Typical of me I got upset and couldn’t enjoy it. WHY? I decided that it was wrong to give one painting first prize and another nothing. Who are the judges and why should their opinion matter so much?????? It is hard to figure out why they chose this painting instead of that one. I know that I will never enter an art contest. I may show my work but not have my work judged. It is just too subjective. I think it’s like in the Olympics. There are a few winners who end up happy but what about all the other athletes who also worked hard and lost by seconds etc.
At the show I met a woman who carved eggs. They were fantastic! She lives here in Century Village and was just showing what she does. I was very impressed with her work so I plan to get in touch with her next winter and hopefully she’ll give me lessons in carving eggs. She has taken lessons from the best! I wish I would have met her sooner.
So I can’t sleep. I won’t complain as I have been sleeping quite well. I think I’ll go test my sugar as it might be low or high. I also want to look for lotions in the bathroom that I can give away. Not sure if I should do it now as hubby is sleeping.
So that does it from Ginger Rogers.
