Frustration

I just finished helping my hubby send an email with 5 pictures, WOW...I think I need a drink. Frustration is the only sane word I can say right now! My hubby has a limited knowledge of computers. He is very good at research on a search engine, or sending a simple email, but when it comes to more complicated issues, well he is not there yet. Hubby is an Aircraft and Automobile mechanic and is great at his job. He uses the computer very little at work. Tonight he needed to write an article, resize 5 pictures and send an email. But when things do not work his way the first time on the computer, he gets very frustrated and I am the one that has to help him through the teaching stage. So after tonight, I may start drinking! Just kidding. I love hubby and over the years he has gotten better with the computer and I know he continues to improve. Honey when you read this I love you!!! And I'll continue to teach you the computer and you can teach me to re-build an aircraft engine...yeah right!!!!

Lazy Saturday

Yesterday was a very lazy Saturday for me, I felt blahhhh all day. The morning started out late, I didn't get out of bed until about 9am, I must have been tired! Most of Saturday I sat in my hubby's recliner and watched my DVR'd shows. About 2pm I decided that I must get up and do something on this day. I was able to get hubby to go to the mall with me, yes the mall. I have been looking for a new black shirt, I went from place to place trying on skirts, finally success. I found a skirt and shirt, my lucky day. Hubby was very good, he kinda hung around and let me check things out. Now that our girls are off and doing their own thing, he is the one that gets to shop with me. After our trip to the mall we then went to the local grocery store for a few things, and fifty dollars later, we were out of there. We did find a few minutes to have dinner. I was so hungry that I needed to eat immediately, I guess that while I was sitting in the recliner all day, that I forgot to eat...wow, wish I could forget more often. :) I keep saying that I need to exercise, but just haven't gotten there yet. I really need to get motivated and start. I have the motivation of a Wedding in September, that should be a huge motivation. Sunday is starting out to be the same, sitting around for a while, reading the paper and now I'm just updating this site and doing nothing more. Hope you all have a great Sunday and now I'll wait for some football.....

Dinner with Friends

Tonight we had dinner with our great friends, Russ, Rhonda and son, Daniel. We met Russ about 16 years ago. We lived in a townhouse, when the neighbors moved out and up drove a moving truck from California. We didn't know then, but this new neighbor would become one of our closest friends. Over the years we have seen Russ through ups, downs, out to sea, on shore duty and everything in between. Russ has been there for me when hubby has been at sea. Anytime I needed him he was there. You see Russ is a big guy, he's 6'5" about 250 lbs and all muscle...he looks like "the Rock". Many times I would call him to come somewhere with me to just "be there" and that was always just for that support. We were so happy years ago when Russ met Rhonda, then they decided to marry. They married on Valentine's Day. I remember their wedding was just family and close friends in a small church. I remember watching them say their vows and thought, this is so great!!! I am so happy for them!!! A few years passed and they became pregnant. I knew that Russ has always wanted a child and October 2001 out popped this cute, little round faced, precious baby. Daniel is too cute and he has loved my hubby and our family from day one. And we have always loved the entire family! We do not see them as much as we would like, everyone is running in seperate directions these days but I know and they know that if needed we all would come running. Thank you God for bringing this wonderful person and his family into our lives, we are blessed!!!

The Wedding Plans....

Last weekend my engaged daughter and I went wedding dress shopping. What a great time we had and what a beautiful bride she will be! We spent the day trying on dresses, planning and trying on more dressed. Mallori is her own person with her own ideas and her own fashion statement. And all the dresses she tried on were all different. At our last appointment my youngest daughter came by to offer her opinion. The day ended with Mallori deciding between two dresses. Now the choice, what do I do?? She is the only one that can figure that out. I am really proud of her, she is very organized and researching everything! She is working to keep the expenses down and to have the wedding of her dreams. I am so happy about this next year, it will be an exciting one!

Today...

Wow...this has been an incredible week...it was the end of our fiscal year on Sep. 30, I worked until 9pm that night. What a long day that was. As I said it has been a very busy week and I am so glad the weekend is here. My engaged daughter wants to try on wedding dresses tomorrow so that's what we are going to do. Had dinner with her this week, and she is so excited and so organized! So tomorrow we shop for dresses....I'll keep you posted on our finds.
Tonight was spent with hubby, he has been great this week. I have been very late every day and he has held down the home front. So thank you Hubby, I love you .
