The Gypsy on Adventure

Fun Day

Ah we all got up without hang-overs thank you! Got ourselves ready, ate breakfast and headed out to do some shopping! This year I decided NOT to spend a lot of money! I will be debt free, I will pay off my new car and I just can't plain afford it! I have many trips to do this year!

So I only spent cash ~ NO credit cards for me...no no! Credit cards = slavery to me! I am going to get debt free!!!! (reminder to self) So that I can go and do the things I want AND so that I can buy the things I want without paying interest!

So I found this awesome baret hat HALF off! Yeah so I got it! Then I found a crown table name holder thing! AND a glitter "G" for Gypsy. AND in this fun French-Garden store I found an old cross and angel that has moss on it. Loved them AND they were only $5 a piece! I bought them! But Suzie girl surprised me by buying me a beautiful white Parisian soap dish for my bathroom! Thank you Suzie! AND I did get some funky unusual earrings that Michael has to fix but they are wonderful! Gypsy style for sure! That was it! nothing else! which is SO great for me! Under $100! I did great! Yeah for control of compulsive shopping!

We went home had a nice lunch spread of cheese, crackers, salsa, chips, olives...I didn't really get to enjoy it with everyone...I was on the phone with my son.

Mini Vacation Time!

Five of us from work made time to get away! Yeah! Away time...Giggle time...laughing until we almost pee time!

I ran a little late getting there to head up the coast to Geyserville...I couldn't find my med's! So I left without them! oh well...some times you just have to sacrifice! AND realize that you are flakey! I can't figure out where they went! 

Three of us got there first, Lana, Sue, and I and we set out to eat some cheese, crackers and olives while we drank the BEST wine I have ever had! Only one bottle and I have to remember the name (it was a Gallo Reserve 2005) and had the most FAB taste with the cheese and olives! Ah...

Relief from the day to day reality of life. The stress of Silicon Valley...the rush of our jobs...the responsibilites of our home lives...the expectations that every one has on us instantly melting away once we are sitting on the deck of the house and only light hearted snorts and glees of laughter proceed!

There was a wonderful dinner prepared by Mitzi and Nancy who are the experts in the kitchen! The other three of us clean! Hee hee hee AND they do a great job even when the wine has hit their head! That is an amazing feat all in itself I think!

AND for entertainment the talented Sue and Nancy did Charades! They acted out and we screamed what the act was! I was good this evening...I had a lot of wine!!!! We were on a roll! Giggle

AND Nancy kept doing this owl thing that was hysterical that she learned at a woman's conference and she was really the only one that couldn't do it in the room! Giggle...I got a nice shot of her attempt! It was really funny but I think you had to be there!

Quote of the Day

If I were required to guess off-hand, and without collusion with higher minds, what is the bottom cause of the amazing material and intellectual advancement of the last fifty years, I should guess that it was the modern-born and previously non-existent disposition on the part of men to believe that a new idea can have value.
       -Mark Twain

Rushing to get ready!

Yeah! I got off work early! HALF day! AND I proceeded to run around and get things ready for my mini trip to the Whine Country! The girls from work are heading out to Geyserville! Yeah! Beautiful area...fun friends...wine...and laughter!

Can't wait to get there!  Oh and a reason for compulsive shopping! snort!  I ran to Fry's...oh how I love gadgets! I finally bought some travel speakers for my iPodage! I am very excited about that AND a plug to recharge without a computer! Yeah! so I can recharge anywhere now! Smart move if you ask me! Now I just have to save for the Car plug in to work with the car stereo! On my list!

Then I got some wine and food!

Then I ran to Target! Bad thing to do! bought some stuff for the trip...mini things like toothpaste, scope, soup, mini shampoos and conditioners that kind of stuff and found some clothes! There is a surprise! giggle AND do you know that they no longer sell slips anywhere? Don't women care if you can see threw their skirts anymore? So I got some bike shorts! Yikes!

Then the task was packing the suit cases! AND my art bag! I am hoping to finish out cutting my Fatbook Paper Dolls out so I can mail them out! Yeah!

Well my heart is racing today most likely from the inhaler...but I feel a bit better. I still have dark circles under my eyes, I guess I am not getting enough oxygen yet....

Sigh...

But am going to try to have a great time anyway!

This is the face of asthma

Today my doc told me that the perfume episode has settled into asthma! YIKES! I have NEVER had asthma! I am 45 and get asthma? Sigh

She gave me two different inhalers...one to help me through and one if I am REALLY tight and scared I take that one and prepare to shake for about 7 minutes! Yikes! I am hoping to NOT use that one!

I had my first breathing treatment this afternoon and it did help so I stopped wheezing so bad...maybe I will be able to sleep tonight. I couldn't talk without being winded, wheezy and tired!

Need some eye candy?

What to see some thing wonderful go here! Isabella's friend Matt (who is 16) put together this Youtube video of her work! Talk about inspiration! Faboo

Sigh

Now I am concerned I won't be able to go on my trip...

I am STILL SICK! My throat is calmed down...but my head and eyes! Gads!

I had to RUSH through heavy traffic after work to get Crackers to the vet...suddenly over night her talons got REALLY sharp and I couldn't pick her up anymore! AND what a surprise she is over weight! Sigh. I suppose it is an epidemic in our home! We have to work on not giving her so many peanuts and treats! AND exercise her! Hum... I have to exercise too!

Damn!

Still Fucking Sick!

I had a REALLY rough day! Not only was my sunburn hurting but my eyes are still watering, my headache WON'T go away, and I am wheezing!

But on the good side...GREAT Mail day! I got the Day of the Dead Skeleton Angels!!! AND the Gypsy Fairys from Debrina's mom!  LOVE it!  AND another thing I forgot to post earlier was the cabinet card my friend-Mom Pallie sent me!!!!  Squeel with delight softly as to not hurt my head!

Run and get this book!

Book/journal/cards from Randi ...the best! still writing my review but this headache is just not letting me do a damn thing! You can get it here!

I am seriously loving every thing about this! It is awesome! I hope Randi is proud! I am of her!

Since I wasn't feeling good Michael got me some comfort items...the NEW 2 DVD Peter Pan and Marie Antoinette! So while I couldn't lift my head from the pillow on the couch I watched movies while Michael got our Tera byte server to work...I can then put ALL my art stuff on the server and not eat up my hard drive! That is exciting...

Being this sick from perfume SUCKS! I am so upset about it! I just can't take it! I am wheezing now! AND not sleeping!
