Saturday's Stories

The wind and rain woke me up about 0300 this morning and I dozed on and off until about 0600, when I finally fell asleep until 0730. I was still more tired than hungry when I got up so after doing my computer stuff for an hour I went and read the paper. After that I heard the mail come, so I brought it in and sat down to some scrambled eggs that Kathleen made along with some cinnamon raisin toast and a couple veggie sausages.

After eating I went through the mail and sorted out the good from the bad, and put a couple magazines on my chair to read later. Kathleen had to be at church at 1000 to help set up for the Christmas pot luck tomorrow and I went along to help as well. We were planning to come home to let Reggie out before going to Alyssa and Dan's house for a birthday party for me. However, when we finished at church we felt that it would be more of a hassle to go home and then go to Alyssa's than to just go, so that is what we did.

Aaron, Tami and the girls were there as well as Toni and Chucky when we arrived and Andrea and John arrived a short time later. Alyssa had decorated everything like a 50's style dinner and they had 50's music playing in the background. For food there was barbecued cheeseburgers, with all the trimmings, and frys in the plastic baskets with the red and white checkered paper inside. Then for desert there was banana splits with all the goodies for toppings. They also had some anniversary Coke bottles and several kinds of soft drinks.

I took some of the diet Coke and some of the juice from the maraschino cherries and made my own cherry Coke. Natalie and Lexis kept wanting sips of my drink so I really did not get as much as I had planned on, but it was fun watching them enjoy the drink.

Poor Alyssa will have to redecorate the house all over again for Zander's party this next week. Originally she wanted to invite a lot of my friends for a big party for me, but I knew that she also was doing something for her children and suggested that we just keep it a family party for me. I am not big on parties any way and she certainly did not need the extra work and planning for a party for me.

We got home a little bit ago and I am still stuffed. Kathleen forgot her purse, so we will have to go out to get it, so I think that I will just sign off now and say good night.

P.S. I did not write a blog yesterday, I woke up about 0200 with really bad leg cramps and never did get a good nights sleep, so I was tired all day and I continued having the cramps through out the day.

Again good night!
