I have posted this in various places, as I know everyone reads different things in different areas on the boards.

Thanksgiving is one week away...

Tell us the three things which happened in your personal life in 2008 that you are grateful for.
Here's my list:

1. My MIL sold us her car at the time my car was on it's last leg.

2. I received the news that my first grandbaby will arrive in January 2009.

3. Even with a year of medical and financial woes, DH and I still have a roof over our heads and food on the table.

Ya'll have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Good morning, Ladies!

I was so excited when my work hours changed and the fact that I would be getting home earlier each day...

more computer time, more time to play here on the QMB2...

What's really happened since the time change...

I come home from work earlier and DH and I sit in the backyard and talk and play with the cats...sometimes we have a fire going in our pit...

Then we come in and have dinner, take our showers and watch TV or a movie together.

We have more time to actually relax and visit with each other.

This week, I am on vacation! Woo Hoo! Don't go back to work until Tuesday, November 25th, then we're closed on Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th! I'll only have to work three days the week I go back!

I have lots of plans for cleaning out closets and drawers and getting rid of stuff I forgot I even had. There will be a major haul away by the end of the week!

Today, I'm just doing laundry and taking it easy. Tomorrow I will begin the big clean out.

We had a cold front come through but it's suppose to warm up the rest of the week. I look forward to opening up all the doors and windows while I do my cleaning!

Ya'll have a great day!

Yesterday, my chapter, Rose Brigade went to see "Menopause The Musical" at the Scott Theatre here in Fort Worth.

It was so fantastically fun! I have't laughed so much since DH & I saw Tim Hawkins on TV!

At the end of the show my VQ Sensational Sandi and I went on the stage and danced. I did pretty good, even with my bum knee!

Here we are before we went in:

Too bad we couldn't get a pic of us dancing on stage!

After the show, we went to eat at Macaroni Grill. It was really good. We had a wonderful afternoon!

Whether you're a newbie or have been on the QMB2 for awhile, I just want to say "Happy November"  to you all!

I try to check for newbies each day so I can send a welcome, but sometimes I miss a few Ladies, so...

Good morning, Ladies! I hope everyone is having a good Monday!

This Sunday, November 2nd, my chapter, Rose Brigade is going to see "Menopause The Musical" at the Scott theatre here in Fort Worth. We're using part of the money from our Red Hat Auction in September to take $10 off each of our tickets. We're going to be dressed in or Red Hat best with lots of bling! It's going to be so much fun!

Don't forget to change your clocks back one hour this weekend! "Fall back, Spring forward". After next Sunday, my work hours will change and I will be getting off at 5:30 p.m. every day! Woo hoo!

Yesterday, it got up to about 84, so I opened up the doors and windows while I cleaned house. Last night, a cold front blew in and now it's only 45! Brrr!

DH has brought some of the plants in before we get surprised by a freeze. Never know around here...Texas weather can go to extremes in minutes!

Think I'll just take it easy and be lazy today.

Ya'll have a great day!
