Hi-
Kathy- have fun at your hair appt.!! I darkened my hair a little, but Lee says this time she went too dark, so have to fix it before the cruise. I lost another lb. so only have 2 more to go. Think I will make my goal.

I work the next 9 days straight so bear with me. Don't know how much posting I will be able to do, but I will check in as able. Don't forget about me!

Kate- How did it go with Lindsey yesterday? Hope you both had a good time! Are you working today?

Kathy- thanks for the help with Majesty. Not sure what we will do. Lee's truck wouldn't start and had to be towed. Already up to $300 and they haven't finished yet. Oh well...... =huh

Later....................

Morning girls,

Glad to know you are feeling better Martha. I am trying to imagine you with a bob! Or even darker hair! Sorry to hear about Lee's truck. There is always something else to worry about.
.
Kathy, I know what you mean I will swear your hair grows an inch when you decide to get it cut. I am terrible about drinking water. I do like those Glaceau Vitamin water drinks though.

Heard from Marilyn yesterday. Her hotel is about three blocks away from me in Barcelona. I am so glad she will be on this cruise, as she will keep me from getting too lonely. I went to our local church bazaar yesterday and they had the Scottish Pipe Band playing there. It made me sad as it was always something we enjoyed listening to together. I suppose it will take a long time for all the memories to fade.

Off to work. See you later.

It will take quite a while for the memories to fade to a point of not making you feel sad......but they will diminish..............

Kathy- you look MAHVELOUS, Dear!!:loveya
Have fun on the treadmill.

Well, the truck ended up costing us almost $400. Took it to AAA Automotive; won't ever go there again. Had it towed there on Fri., told them the lights weren't working and it probably needed a new battery. They said they could handle it. Called us Sat. and wanted over $300 for a "diagnostic something or other and a battery!!" Finally said they could put in a cheaper battery. We said okay. Didn't hear from them so called them midday. Said they had the paperwork right there. Then said they couldn't fix it and wanted $350. Went to pick it up and found out they had locked the key in the truck. Luckily I looked thru my purse and found a spare key. Told them we would not be back. they knocked off the "diagnostic whatever" since they still didn't know what was wrong with it. Took it to an auto repair place my family goes to and $100 later, they had the lights working. AAA was rude and didn't know what they were doing. Never again!!:X

Kate- I am still red; just a darker shade. Haven't had my hair this long in so long I have no idea how to fix it. This ought to be good. I have 8 weeks to work on it!!! :girly

Sorry about your car problems Martha. It is so frustrating when you cannot trust the car repair shops. Most of them are a bunch of crooks. Can't wait to see your new hairdo. You have to take pictures.

I know the memories will fade Kathy, I have just been having a bad day. It's hard to let 40 years of memories go. It was my whole life. Now I have to concentrate, on the future. But I am a little low tonight.

How is the haircut Kathy? Are you happy with it?

Hello girls, I started to send a message last night and then got side tracked by a friend who wanted me to go a another friend who makes special purses, mainly made of old fut coats, very fancy. She also collects antique jewelry and restores it. I ended up spending money I really could not afford. But I got a lovely sparkling necklace and bracelet.

I also wanted to tell you I met Carmindy of the TV show What Not to Wear. She was appearing at our local small bookshop with her new make up book and she is very nice. She gave a talk on make up and how she got into the business. She said you do not have to spend a lot on make up and that the drug stores were a better deal than the Dept stores. She has a new inexpensive range of make up coming out or is already out. It is being sold at CVS and is called Sally Hanson Natural Beauty inspired by Carmindy. Here's the link. Check it out.

Have a good day

Just got home and am exhausted.

Kate- glad you got new baubles.

I bet you're exhausted Martha............making extra vacation money??????

TGIF Kate...any weekend plans??????

I am getting discouraged with the weight loss............did great in the beginning,but it has slowed down........only 1 pound in 2 weeks..........Dennis says cuz I am building muscle by exercising.............I know thats true,but maybe I shouldnt exercise OR eat what I want and still exercise=huh............I like see lower numbers on the scale..........this sucks........

I wouldn't worry about the numbers Kathy, cos if you are exercising your body shape will change and make you look trimmer. How wonderful to get an invite on the preinaugural of Solstice. I have no doubt you will be spoiled and want to sail her for ever.

I don't have any weekend plans but I have just had my ticket to the UK confirmed. Alan booked my business to Manchester and then I will go by train to Edinburgh for a few days to see my son. I have had to rebook a flight from the UK to Barcelona to pick up the Voyager and I lose about $250 on the one way ticket I had already paid for from IAH. Still at least I get to travel to Europe business and I will just not use the return portion and call the airline and use it some time next year. Who knows maybe I can take the VY back to Southampton in April. :lol

Martha, you are the hardest worker I have ever known. I know you are just going to have one great time on your b2b's You deserve it.

Have a good Friday girls. I am off to work.
