What a lazy day today. Might it have something to do with the weather!!! Probably. This rain is missing up my schedule. When it rains, Bill doesn't golf, and when Bill doesn't golf, he comes home, and when Bill comes home, things have to get done. (Plus he's a little grouchy)
I didn't get out of my PJ's until it was time to go for dinner. Patrick asked if I would fix a pair of jeans for him. So I hauled out the sewing machine (not my favorite machine in the house) and to my surprise 1 pair of jeans turned into 4. I finally had to ask why all his jeans had tears in the croch(sp). Seems the son has the tendancy to do lunges in his jeans. Cut it out. Not only to I dislike mending; patches are not my specialty. It takes everything in my power not to suggest that he take his jeans to Auntie Anne and beg!!!! I did something today, that I have never done ever, while sewing; I cut my finger with the scissors. The thread kept getting caught and I was getting frustrated, so I grabbed the scissors (my sewing scissors) and hastely cut the thread. Didn't quite move my left hand ring finger fast enough. And boy do fingers bleed alot and fast. Not only is there a cut on one side of the finger, but also on the other side of the same finger. Good thing I wasn't cutting with more force - could have taken off the entire finger.
As mentioned we went out for dinner - sort of a pre-birthday celebration. It was to the golf course. Bill, myself, Patrick and his girlfriend. Just a small gathering. I had the linguini - and it was delicious. Add to that, the pumpkin cheesecake for desert. The meals in the dinning room are always delicious and well presented. We came home afterwards and watched a movie "Alice in Wonderland." It was ok; as voted on by all of us.
Sent out birthday wishes to my cousin Ken. One year and one day older than me. Makes it easier to remember my age!!!!!
Quote: Received this from my girlfriend via an email today. Have seen it before, but thought it would be rather appropriate. You see tomorrow I turn 49 and I have been compiling a list of things I would like to do before I turn 50. I'm not going to reveal the entire list at once, but as I complete a task I will let everyone know. I started the list back in January, so there are a couple of things I have accomplished already and I will start posting them tomorrow.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

42. The best is yet to come...
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
