Today started out as a regular Tuesday. I went to a meeting, did some shoppping on the way back to my office (found some great bargains), saw a dreadful car accident on the boulevard and was so thankful I made it to my office in one piece. With that said, my afternoon was not very productive. I had visitors most of the afternoon, of which I never tire of, did some staffing and at 5:15 headed for home. I now have a 30 minute drive and I'm getting used to it. The traffic can be a pain, but it could be worse!
Tom and I arrived at the house at the same time. He went to the grocery for me which I so appreciate. Anyway, he opens his car door and begins to gather his planner, tote bag and notices the cane is missing. Whoops! this is not the first time he's left his much needed support system at a store. This time it got left in the buggy at Publix in the shopping cart collector. Luckily the lady at the customer service desk said she had it. So as he went back into town to retrieve his cane I decided to make some reindeer snack mix. I made some on Sunday and it didn't taste right. I asked my sister to read the recipe to me again and as usual I had written down the wrong measurement. Now, I've made this mix before and do you think I could find the recipe...nope! Anyway I went to work. After 13 minutes of my snack mix baking in the oven I realized I had forgotten to include the bugles...duh!!!! I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best...wish I had forgotten to include the pretzles instead. Oh, Tom just went into the kitchen and asked if I was on the last 15 minutes of baking..."yes" I answered, "oh" he replied..."you forgot to set the timer."
Fa LaLaLa La....La, La,La,Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I'm hoping I'll do better next time.

Back from vacation
Hi,
We're back from a fabulous vacation. We had such a great time; the only thing missing was the "kids". Terrible to be so attached to furry four legged children. Thank God they didn't hold a grudge for too long. They've been like cling-ons all weekend long. An empty lap, a cat is in it. Life is wonderful for a Costello siamese.
Okay, here's the skinny on the vacation. We left for St. Simon's around 10:30 am. Yours truely woke up at 2:30 am and could not go back to sleep. At 4:30am Tom said we may as well get up and get going, so we did. Then it hit him...we had forgotten to turn the clocks back...duh.
We got to St. Simon's around 4:00pm...had to make a couple of stops. I was so tired that I really felt sick. All I ate at our favorite restaurant was a cup of crab bisque, white cheddar grits and a ginger ale...I couldn't finish any of it. When we got back to the resort I climbed in bed and slept 9 hours straight. I'm the type that really needs a good 8 hours every night
I can get by on less but 8 is best. Anyway, I was raring to go the next morning. We took all back roads to Dillard, GA. The cotton fields were beautiful. I love cotten fields. They remind me of snow. We saw giant bales of cotten..just makes my day. We got to Dillard around 3:00pm. Checked into the Dillard House, our room was HUGE and had the most magnificent view of the mountains. I love to sit outside and our room had a front porch with 2 rocking chairs. It was perfect! We were able to watch the horses and every afternoon at 4:30 the horses are turned out to go back to the pasture. It was so much fun to watch them on the path...stop for a bite of hay, walk a bit, eat some more...so relaxing. We went to the Foxfire museum, I really enjoyed it. I'm so kicking myself for not buying something from the broom maker. Several years ago I bought a cobweb broom in Tennessee and I just love it. This broom maker had so many beautiful things and was so informatvie about her craft...a good reason to go back. We visited the village weaver, her things were beautiful. Fortunately we had the good sense to buy a scarf for Tom's cousin. The weaver has one loom that takes 4 days to thread...can you imagine? I'm hoping our pictures will turn out well. The weather was awesome and the foliage was beautiful. The Dillard House restaurant is sooooooooooo wonderful. Tom could not believe all the food that was placed on the table. We had fried chicken, baked chicken, country ham, pork, butternut squash souffle, green beans, apple butter, cauliflower, waldorf salad, lima beans, red pepper jelly, biscuits, creamed corn, cole slaw, a whole bunch of other stuff plus cobbler...pass the tums please. I don't eat breakfast, but Tom said it was terrific...right up his alley. After this vacation Weight Watchers might be in the cards.
Coco is helping me type, so I'm signing off for now. Will fill you in on the rest of the vacation later.
Hugs!

Coco Update
One week later and Miss Coco "Puff" Chanel is feeling just fine and dandy. The appetite has returned...not in full force, but close. Tom did an awesome job with the injections. As for the oral medication...lets just say that didn't go as well. I'm sporting a lovely new scratch on my shoulder (amazing what those back feet can do). The girls have finally stopped hissing at one another..what a week!
Today is our 6th wedding anniversary! Tom is cooking us a wonderful dinner, as always, and we are in the midst of getting ready for our vacation. I don't know where the 6 years have gone, but I can say they have been great. I'm so blessed to have found such a wonderful man to call my husband.(Even if he is rooting for the Gators, I much prefer the Bulldogs..much cuter mascot)
Tomorrow we head out for St. Simons Island, GA. From there we will go to Dillard, GA., Asheville, NC., Savannah, GA., and finally home. Good thing we have a couple of days before returning to work. I'll fill you in on our adventures when we get back.
As for work, yesterday was my last day at the Chalet office. I am going to
miss everyone there, especially my buddy, Andi. My office has been moved to downtown Lake Wales and it is truely a back office. I did get my yellow accent wall and I do have new office furniture, one draw back...no window. Good thing I'm mobile and can get out of the office as much as I want. Another good thing about the move is that I will finally have a direct telephone line with voice mail. I can't tell you how many phone calls the Chalet office has answered for me...and I very much appreciate them for being so gracious about it.
Halloween after work was a non event. Tom went to St. Petersburg to meet his step-sister from Oregon. I went to my Mom's and ate a wonderful pizza from Acropolis...no red sauce, just garlic butter with feta and cheddar cheeses, tomatoes and black olives...YUM-O!!! Mom had about 3 trick or treaters and they live in a kid friendly neighborhood...go figure.
Off to finish my laundry...still have to iron a few things before packing...my day is not complete without hauling out the iron and ironing board.
Talk to you soon!

My Sweet Coco "Puff" Chanel
Just a quick update..
The day started with a trip to the vet. A fun time was not had by all! My poor, sweet Coco Chanel has been sooooooooooooooo sick!! We're not sure what she got into or what got in her, but the poor little girl has been down and out. No food and not much water, which means dehydration. Cats have a way of dehydrating very quickly and she didn't waste any time in doing so. This was day 3 of an upset tummy. I'm sure those of you with children know when your child gets sick in the night...it's the same way with cats. We've had two nights of not sleeping. Hopefully the medicine will work.
We went to a new vet today. It was a great experience even if it was expensive. Coco is worth every penny and then some. I have a print out of her blood profile...just like when I go to the doctor. Coco was given two shots and a bag of fluid because of the dehydration. We came home with two syringes with medicine for tomorrow morning. I'm so glad Tom is able to do the injections..I'll take my chances of getting scratched and will hold her while he does the dirty work...what's another scar in the big scheme of things. I think what impressed me most with the new vet is that she gave us her cell phone number and told us to call her if Coco doesn't seem any better. The vet is also treating a cat that comes from the same cattery as our babies...apparently "Ballerina" is a quite the celebrity at the vet's office. In the mean time there is quite a bit of spitting, hissing and growling going on around here. Jasmine is very annoyed with Coco...Rajah is more tolerant, but not much.
Must run and feed my two healthy kids; can't wait until my pig-0-potamus feels like having a snack too.

Finally, A post!
Hi,
I'm not even going to apologize for being such a lame blogger. Life has been 0jmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm n sorry about that, Jasmine needed to tell everyone hello. She was sitting on the window sill watching for lizards and butterflies and decided it would be much more fun to type a greeting.
Anyway, life has been busy just like everyone else's. I'll try and do a quick recap.
July...I turned another year older, go figure. Four more years and I can get AARP!! We went to The Peabody for the night. They have the most comfortable beds...it's like sleeping on a little cloud. We saw the ducks march into the fountain in the lobby. Before we left for the day one of the ducks laid an egg on the edge of the fountain, kind of cool. Andi threw a great birthday party for me and our friend Sherri...thank you Andi for sharing the pictures. We finally had our garden planted. So far so good, only lost one Mexican petunia. Since we had a lot of rain this summer we were lucky and didn't have to water very often.
August...I think this must be the longest month of the year. All I can tell you is not a whole lot happened. I worked on a new teller system at the Bank...what a pain. Something that is supposed to be so wonderful for the tellers certainly has a lot of glitches. My step daughter turned 20..that went by fast. I remember the first time I met her; she was a little girl with chocolate smeared on her face.
September...okay this is the longest month of the year...I'm over the heat. Good news is that we have started to have some cooler days. Jasmine just walked over the keyboard again. She was very careful...such a smart girl!
We took our first "family" stay-cation. The story goes like this....my mom and I decided to go to the scrapbook show in Lakeland. This would be a special outing because usually mom says she doesn't want to go. We got to the Lakeland Center and I commented that we must not have to pay for parking today. We also got a fabulous parking spot. We got to the entrance of the Center and there was a sign posted that said the show had been canceled...must have been for one of the hurricanes we didn't get, thank God! From there we went shopping and I didn't buy anything. We had a great lunch at Grillsmith and headed home. I got home around 4:00pm and Tom greeted me at the door and said ..."you might want to go back to your mother's house, the air isn't working." Not a good thing in September in Florida. It was 87 degrees in the house, which is too hot for me. The repair man came to the house at 7:00pm and said we would be without air until the part came in. So, we packed up our things and moved to my aunt's condo. The fun part was moving the kids. You would have thought we were killing them. It took two trips to get them moved 5 miles away. Coco was so scared, she cried and carried on. It was awful! I was afraid the neighbors at the condo would complain, but thankfully they didn't. By 10:00pm we were somewhat settled in and went out for dinner..healthy right? We decided to stay the week at the condo because the kids were settled and having a good time. Jasmine was into everything! We lost a couple of catnip mice while we were there. I guess the girls wanted to leave a thank you gift for my aunt. I'm sure she will appreciate the gesture, especially since she has two yorkies. On Saturday we packed up the cars and moved home...again an adventure with Coco. I now have a lovely scar on the inside of my arm from her back claws. She really hates the cat carrier. It kind of looks like I'm a self mutilator..I'm hoping the scar will fade soon. It's so nice to have a/c again. This is the third time the air has gone out and it is a new unit. Go figure. To say that I was annoyed would be an understatement!
I'm so glad that Fall has arrived. It's my favorite time of the year. Love the pumpkins, fall colors and slightly cooler temperatures. We are looking at busy month ahead.
I will be attending a 3 day convention in Orlando this week. Learning all about the bank secrecy act and anti-money laundering. Should be very interesting. Tom leaves for CT to see his children on Thursday and comes home on Sunday. The following week my sweet husband will turn 62 on Tuesday, we have a fund raiser for the Red Cross on Friday called dinner with the chef. Then on Saturday he will fly to Baltimore to see his cousin's son get his eagle scout award. He'll fly home Monday. With all of this going on my mom has decided that we should drive to St. Simon's, GA for the weekend. I'm debating on staying one night or two. I could use some quiet time at home but I also know that one on one time with my mother is limited. Any suggestions?
Yesterday I went to the Ridge Orchid Society show. It was really cool. I had one of my orchids re potted and learned that they only bloom once a year. I also learned that it's time to cut the stem where all my blooms were. I saw some seedlings and the man at the booth said that it could take up to 6 years for them to get their first bloom. At least I know I'm not killing my plant! I'm now on the lookout for an African Violet show. I've got one that hasn't flowered in 2 years...it did really well at the office in Winter Haven but when I moved to Lake Wales the flowers stopped coming.
It's nap time for my kitties..all except Jasmine. She's jumping around like a Mexican jumping bean. I would like half of her energy. Coco and Rajah are sound asleep on their bed pillows. What a life!
Have a great day!!!

June Bugs
Okay, okay, okay, I get the hint!!! I'm a dreadful blogger!!! Sorry I missed April and May, but life has been really busy. I have to admit by the time I get home from work, which is usually six o'clock, I really don't feel like getting on the computer. My job has me on the computer all day; usually writing procedures and answering policy questions. Sounds boring to some I'm sure, but I really do enjoy what I do. Every day is a new adventure in the wonderful world of compliance!
So now down to real business. I know you are all just waiting with baited breath as to what my three most darling children have been up to these past couple of months. Now that Rajah is six and Jasmine and Coco Chanel are two life has settled a bit. Rajah is still tormenting the girls only because they annoy him from time to time (frankly I can't blame him, they can be a bit pesky). Jasmine, diva that she is, takes after her mother (me) and LOVES hairspray. Yes, it is true, Kenra #18 (smells like watermelon) is Jasmine's hairspray of choice. Now if only I can get her to stop trying to lick my hair. The hairspray is like a drug to her; go figure. Coco is still a pig-o-potamus...trust me, she is heaven sent, but that little cat can clear a room when she tells you that it is time to eat!
On to the latest adventure. I'm sure I've shared the fact that Tom feels our sweet Jasmine is only half baked...I beg to differ and will gladly share my opinion. Our favorite grocery store, Publix, now has "green" bags. I've only purchased three to date but I have to say that I love them. I can get so many more groceries in one bag rather than all of the plastic bags. Apparently my Jasmine likes the bags too. The night before last Tom and I were in the kitchen preparing dinner( yes, I actually helped) and I looked out into the dining room only to find Jasmine inside of the "green" canvas bag. What a picture it would have been if my camera had batteries in it. It would have been an awesome advertisment for Publix, especially when we called her name and she turned her head in the perfect pose. When she finally decided it was time to get out of the bag I went to fold it up and put it on my antique school desk so I wouldn't forget to put it in my car...what do you think was in the bag????? Her stuffed carrot! My little girl new that produce belonged in the Publix bag!!! Is she smart or what? So much for being half baked!
Now for the rest of the month...currently I'm dealing with an outside auditor at work. I'm facing a deadline for a mandatory procedure that I'm not ready for, my stepson is graduating on the 24th...whoo hoo!!, and there is a rubber stamp convention in Orlando the weekend of the 27th...I can't wait!
Hugs till then...I'll really try not to be such a slouch this month!!
