Spa Day

My darling SIL has been having medical problems and has not been up to getting her home tidy and clean. She asked me to help her out so I showed up next morning with rubber gloves in hand (not really). I spent a couple days there doing laundry, dusting, cleaning, tidying...and got services from her salon in return! I got my hair dyed and a pedicure (for the first time!) The hair came out a little more orange than I expected. I was hoping for a bright, vibrant red. I go back on Friday to have her check it again because the back is darker than the front for some odd reason.

book club

I sat for 2 hours at my book club meeting talking about anything but books! It was fun. We did actually choose another book and decide to make the meetings monthly, regardless of where we are in the book. We didn't talk about the last book we read, which none of us really seemed to enjoy. Only a couple of us actually muddled through the whole thing! I personally think that we should drop the pretense of a book club and just sit and chat over coffee. It seems that my friend and I are the ones picking the books for the most part and we do that with each other anyway, we don't need to babysit the others! ;-) Nah, it's not really babysitting. we are just more constantly in contact with each other. I think I'll go post on the GRITS group about not discussing the book! That seems to me to be something we should do! lol

My sweet little prince!

Last night, I was trying to coerce and cajole the little prince into eating the sandwich I made him. He ate about 2 bites and wanted candy. I told him absolutely not until you finish your sandwich. Of course, this triggered an immediate temper tantrum. He ran into his room screaming. About a minute later he came out slowly, head hanging. He looked up at me and said "hi mama." I said "Hi Jordan" back to him. He asked me "how are you, mama?" I told him "I'm fine, Jordan, how are you?" He said "Okay. Mama, I'm sorry. I eat my sandwich." Then he picked up the sandwich and ate the whole thing! That's probably the sweetest conversation I had with him since he said "I love you" to me without prompting!

PartyLite

I had a partylite party yesterday, or at least I attempted to. I'm on facebook and invited nearly everyone local. I probably invited about 100 people. Some of them have been to my parties before. This time however, only 2 people confirmed, and even they did not come. I was so disappointed! I had made taco fixin's for everybody. I also set out a veggie and dip tray. I have candles that I want to order, but it will cost my consultant $15 if she places an order below $100 then she'd be losing money. I don't want that to happen. I'm going to try to get some orders for her to at least cover the cost of placing the order so she can break even.

he reads!

I was reading to my little prince a few days ago and he was looking at another book. Not unusual at all, but this time he was talking. Usually he semi-listens. i started listening to what he was saying and he was "reading" the book! It was a book about going to the beach, only ending up in all the wrong places. He was saying "is this the beach? noooooooo" and those words are on most pages! I thought that was so great I almost cried from joy!
