| Snow Ball |
| 01.29.05 (6:46 pm) [edit] |
Well have been busy all day doing wrist corsages an bout. for the snow ball tonight,
its like a winter prom for high school kids, they go all out for it here, limos, rented
suv's etc.
I never heard of it before moving to Ca. everyone looked happy when they picked them up,
hope I got all the colors right, from the vague decription you get from some of them as to
what color dress their dates will be wearing. One young man liked his so much that he gave
me a big hug.
One last corsage left, tired an ready to go home an still no one here to pick it up, some
young lady is going to be upset when her date shows up empty handed, thank God I have the
phone number, the mom answered, she was so busy trying to rent the suv that she forgot the corsage. finally she picked it up an I can come home an eat something for the first time
today an then sit down to blog. the end of a perfect day.

| Happy smog days |
| 01.26.05 (10:34 pm) [edit] |
Well it has been a busy day, I am so happy to finally get my car back, its been
in the auto shop for repair only because it would't pass smog inspection. Its a 91
toyota camry in very good condition drives beautifully, I could not believe it when
my husband came home an showed me the paper, it said gross polluter, not my car, I* was
in shock it doesnt have any smoke coming out of the tail pipe like I have seen cars do,
there must be some mistake, second test same results after the repair man kept it for
two weeks still did't pass. smog man tells him to take it to one of three shops that
really knows how to repair the problem. well to make a long story short he takes it to
one of them an $700.00 dollars later it passes the smog test. I know nothing about cars
but I still think that something is a little fishy. My hubby doesn't think like that so
I have to go to my tblog friends an ask what do you think?

| Death |
| 01.25.05 (12:02 am) [edit] |
Death is something we all face sooner or later. To lose a loved one is
a sad thing an I think that it hurts whether they die young or old, but
when a baby dies it is more painful because they did't get to live at all.
when I think about all the pain an suffering going on in the world right now
that might be a good thing,they are gone on to heaven early.
It is not a good thing when you have carried a baby for nine months, you an
your husband eagerly anticipating the babys birth only for it to live a day
and die, that is a very sad thing for any parent to go through.
Being a florist you are called on to do flowers for both sad an happy
occasions, I prefer the happy ones. today I am doing flowers for a baby an it
makes me very sad while working on a casket spray an keeping in mind that you
want to make it extra beautiful if that will help to ease their pain, plus trying
to stay aware of the small size. The couple that lost the baby is very young an
your heart just goes out to them, it was their 1'st born, keep them in prayer.

| I've fallen an can't get up |
| 01.21.05 (7:19 am) [edit] |
Well I really went an did it last night, I had this desire for a big ceasar salad,
after getting all items ready to prepare the salad with bowl in hand, I slipped on
a rug and down I went, I could't believe it I was on the floor not believing I had did
something so stupid. Thank God I was not hurt but a little embrassed to say the least.
The family all running to see if I am okay, by the way my husnand is a nurse an
always ready to do some nursing, you can't cough are mention not feeling well around
here he is ready with whatever you need, our big laugh around here.
So what do I do I let him go to work on my leg, the only scar. everyone bringing me drinks
an checking on me,what the heck I might as well take advantage of this attention,right.
well I went to bed early an decided I will check on all my blog friends tomorrow.

| Not Interested |
| 01.18.05 (9:02 pm) [edit] |
This blog thing is still pretty new to me.I really am getting hooked on it.
I have wtitten a few things but most of all I have enjoyed reading what you
have written, finding out how your day went, what you are thinking.
I have a family but tblog is like having an extended family an when i come home
after dinner or any free time I am logging in. I don't have but 7 tblog friends
so far looking to add many more by the way. I first feel obligated to check their blog
for anything new, leave a post if I think i can encourage them in anyway an then
its own to reading others. My problem is for the last few days I have not been interested
in writting anything of my own an that is not being honest, Its like I don't want anyone
to know if I feel depressed because business has been so slow lately, but it is always
slow in Jan. today was much better ,busy all day an no time for depression. I plan on
being more open in the future. Feel free to comment an join my list of friends.

| Leaky roof |
| 01.12.05 (8:58 pm) [edit] |
I was finally able to get back into the store today an clean up
after the terrible rainstorm we have been having for the last two
weeks off an on. I have a leak in the roof that started small and
have gotten progressively worse.
Its been to the point that I would take one or two orders a day,
do them an just go back home because it was so depressing.
The owner of the building came an looked, offered sympathy an a few
suggestions but is no longer promising to pay for the repairs as he
previously did. I have been in this building for six years now, it is
a very old building but very quaint, like a country store. It is owned
by a church. Thank God that the rain is gone, sunny allday today
I wiil have to start out early tomorrow because I* have orders to
get out. I took my husband out for his birthday today, while there my
cell phone is ringing, two orders for tomorrow, I have my business no.
transferred to my cell phone, no calls all day but now the day is almost
over an the calls are coming, everyone else is eating, after the second
call I turn the phone off an eat with the family.
I will deal with it tomorrow, another day, another dollar.

| things not going to well . |
| 01.11.05 (10:12 am) [edit] |
Well its one of those days when things are not going to wellan there is not
a darn thing I can do about it.
I am stuck home today waiting on the plumber, there is a leak in the wall
somewhere, the floor is wet, you can hear the sound of water an I am here
with my husband at work, its nighttime an I have no idea how to turn the water
off outside, I know its out there somewhere. My husband works for the prison system
an we are not supposed to call but this was an emergency. he told me how to go
outside an cut the water off, It was covered by flowers but I finally found it but
was afraid to stick my hands down there, got my nerves together an turned it to
the right like he said, it worked, water off.
The plumber is here now, he found the leak after crawling into the attic, cutting
a hole in the wall to repair the leak. I am dreading the thought of seeing the bill
because this has happened before an it is not cheap, I am saying some prayers.

| So relieved, but perplexed |
| 01.08.05 (7:43 pm) [edit] |
Finally I made it through Friday night. We had the progressive dinner an I served both
the soup an salad at my house. I made three large pots of chicken an turkey noodle
soup, everyone said it was delicious, my friend brought a pot of clam chowder.
we had at least thirty people here eating an waiting for all to arrive to move on to the
next house for the main course an dessert. the menu there was roast beef, ham, rice
with gravy, macaroni,green beans etc, all kinds of cakes, pies an ice cream.
All that did't make it to my house met us at the second house which ended up being
about 40 total. I wasn't expecting that many because it was really raining hard out there.
Well free food , what do you expect?
Now for the perplexing part, I have already got'n hooked to this blogging thing so
even though I was full, tired an sleepy, couldn't resist getting on tne net to check
my messages an write a short blog about the nite. the tblog site would not open, I tried
everything, finally went to bed. Was unable to log on to this site all day again,
finally tonight I get in, has anyone else been having problems with logging in? if so
please let me know.

| progressive dinner |
| 01.05.05 (6:10 pm) [edit] |
Progressive dinner I don't know if any of you have been to a progressive dinner
or not but if you heaven't you should start one with your group of friends to do
at least once a year.
First you have to decide how many houses you want to go to in one night, we
usually go to four houses. the first house is the soup house, you stay at that house
for about an hour gr two giving everyone time to arrive. then ita everyone to their
car to go to the next house an there we have salad, not much time spent here, on to the
next house where the main course is served, final house for those that can still eat
which is everybody we finish with the dessert. we have been going to the same house
for years because this lady loves making all kinds of goodies an she has this mansion
that she an her husband love to show off. After dessert you sit around the fireplace,
play music an just party for the rest of the night.
My problem this time is I have got to host the soup house so that means I have got
to p;ay the flylady routine an really get the house in order an by the way if I would
have been doing my flylady routine I would not be stressing now.
Well anyway its a lot of fun to do this, but even more when you don't have to host.
we have about 30 to 40 people to attend each year. when we first started doing this
we had 15. My how our group has grown.

| Flowers |
| 01.02.05 (11:01 pm) [edit] |
Roses, carnations, orchids,tulips, I love them all, I just love receiving them
as a gift, which is something that very rarely happens by the way. Its a good thing
that I also like growing an designing with them an seeing other peoples faces when
they receive them as a gift, It really makes my day.
I have never written a blog before but after hearing so much about them an finally
reading so many interesting ones thought I would give it a try.
well thats enough for the first time.
