Handbag

I’m home from my visit. Very nice to take my Jeep out on the highway with Josh Groban blaring on such a nice sunny spring day!

Mom has her 45 or 50 year Nurse’s reunion in 2 weeks, and needed to buy some new slacks so I took her out shopping. She was very grateful for that. I was eyeing this purse, and told her she could buy that for me for my birthday, so she bought it today, even though it’s a few weeks early. I lurve it! Very springy! We had a sandwich and coffee after, and a visit, and not a “comment” was made. How nice it was!!! She loved my Jeep, and I got to check out her new wheels too. Very sporty for an old broad!

Seeing all the beautiful new spring clothes in the stores, and catching a few glimpses of myself in those dreadful store mirrors that are everywhere thoroughly drove home the fact to me that I am a big fat COW!!! Good grief! What have I been thinking???!!! After all the years of dieting and working out faithfully, and being in the best shape of my life a mere 2 years ago, what the fuck have I been thinking!!?? How did I convince myself that this is fine with me?? I don’t have near the energy I used to, my knee is getting worse all the time, my back is starting to bother me and my shoulder is still a mess a makes my arm go numb some days. I’d bitch too if I was my body parts, and had to lug this ass around! I told hubby…. once the Oilers’ season is over, I’m going on the wagon, and starting to diet and exercise. If I’m a smart cookie, I’ll start the exercising part sooner than that! I’m just not giving up my beer until the season is done, because watching them play, sober, is just too painful some nights! heh!

I have another bitch. CAT HAIR!!! I can not STAND the cat hair around this place! It’s impossible to keep up with! I’m not a slob by any means, neither am I the Mrs. OCD that I used to be, but I don’t want to let anyone in this house, because within 5 minutes, they’re going to have damn white cat hair on themselves! I GROAN outloud when vistors come wearing black! I do not know how to “control” it. And man that shit floats through the air! After yesterdays’ cleaning frenzy, I’m really frustrated with it! I’m thinking a new vacuum cleaner may help somewhat, but I’m not that convinced. We changed their catfood once to see if that helped, but it didn’t at all. If anyone has some tips…. please share! Or there is going to be 2 bald cats freezing their boney asses off up here in Canada!
