I guess I forgot to Blog yesterday. Oh, now I know why...I watched Claire all day and picked up Finn from school and watched him too until about 6PM A long day 9am -6pm. Carolyn and Dana took the day off to spend it together.
In the morning Claire and I went food shopping for Carolyn than we went to lunch with my friend Barbara than got Finn from school . We went for a walk etc. I made Italian dinner for all when C&D came home.
Today I did next to nothing. Played some ,"Can See..." still stuck on Jesse and his pen. than I cleaned up around here. I went to Mass at 4 pm ,came home ,took a bath and that is all.
Not a bad day.

What in the hell is SBTVD?
I just got a post from them on this Blog. Ugh! I won't openit.

Today I took Clarie to the park group and it was fun. Lots of young mothers and one other Grandmother who happens to be a RN for NY. She has lived in Santa Barbara for 40yrs.

This afternoon I went to my ,Strengths Meeting at the church. We discussed it we thought our ,"talents" described us. I think mine did and I think I have used my during my life even it they did not have names.
I found out the Gallop people also do one which is NOT faith based. A women in my group has taken it for her job. I forget what she does,but she did say she goes all over the world.
Rosemary, I asked the lady who lived in Asia where she lived and she said of all places, Singapore !
Her husband was a exec for a large shipping co. She started swimming schools there and in , Hong Kong! She is thinking of moving back to Singapore.

today I took lunch to my friend Barbra's house. Picked it up at Subway.
She lives in a over 55 condo place right on a little golf course. We sit out on her patio ,eat, talk and occasionally an old golfer comes along.
Got gas at the cheap place and it cost, $43.00 to fill up my little Ford Taurus! $3.83 per/gal.
Other than that I played ,Can You see what I see?

Watched Claire all day. She is so cute. She is beginning to say a lot more words. "Hot, work and walk" are some of her new ones. We went to the bank, than did a little shopping. after her nap we played in the yard. She always finds a way to do everything she wants to do. She used my camera to take lots of pictures of the grass. Just green grass, nothing else.
Finn taught her how to pick her nose and she will do it whenever he asks her.
Now I am getting hooked on, Can You See What I See. Must get back to it.

Carolyn and Claire came over this morning and we went to, The Daily Grind, for breakfast. It's a neat very busy restaurant only a block from my house.
Today I am celebrating. 26 years ago today I stopped drinking.
After trying for several years , I was having lunch with Connie Halpin. We had just ordered martinis, as my came I said to myself, "this is the last drink I am going to have". It was.

Carolyn called me last night to tell me this conversation.
Finn: "Mom, how come every time Nana says,"shit" she says ,"sorry".
Carolyn: "because its a bad word".
Finn: "What does it mean"?
Carolyn:" Poop"
Finn" "Oh".

Today was so nice. 80 degrees with lots of sunshine.
Dana went to see his mother.
Carolyn,Finn, Claire and I went on a mission to find shoes for Claire. She has grown out of all of her shoes and sneakers. We had gone to Macy's and Nortstoms yesterday but, Claire was having none of it. She is very strong willed and its just not worth it to try to get her to put on shoes. Well, today we went to Payless and she ended up getting three pairs. Maryjanes, sneaks and sandals and Finn got vans and flip-flops.
Than we went back to Carolyns and got out the little pool and Slip-slider. They had fun. I had fun watching them. Finn wanted me to go on the Slip-slide. You run up to it and than belly-flop onto this long plastic thing that has water running in it. I declined to try it.Maybe next time.
