Observations....

Well, wee one had a good dental appointment. No cavities! She got two stickers and a toothbrush. One of the stickers was of the solar system, which she said she would use on her report about the planets. Only she would coordinate her stickers with her schoolwork. While I was waiting for her, there was a lady with a little boy and a baby. She got 3 phone calls in a half hour, and talked like no one was around. I couldn't do that because #1, it's rude and #2, I don't want everyone knowing my business. I was too far away to hear exactly what her conversation was, but she was british, so the accent was cool. Also while we were there, one of the huge fish in the tanks died. It went from swimming slowly, to lying down, to heaven. Poor thing.

While sitting there, I read two People magazines from front to back. Let me just say one thing....I do not care, nor do I want to know what the cast of Friends is going to do now that the show is over. I am not interested and frankly, am getting sick of hearing about it. I don't want to see them crying on Oprah, The Today Show, or any other program. I don't even want to see the last episode. I have ceased caring what happens to the whiny Ross and oh-so-boring Rachel. And please, will someone tell me exactly why Jennifer Aniston is considered "sexy"?

I stayed dressed in my "going out" clothes all day. I usually wear my "homemaker's uniform" when I have no where to go, (capri jeans, tank top and zip-up jacket), but since we had an appointment, I wore a nicer outfit. It was nice being dressed up for a while. Sometimes I forget that I'm still a woman who likes to look good, and not just a mom wearing "sensible" clothing. I also wore my favorite shoes which are black with ankle straps. I have become somewhat of a shoe hound lately. I wonder why that is?

I have learned that my new camera takes video as well. I can do a 30 second to 3 minute mini-movie and audio. Now I justneed to figure out how to post that. I know there is a way, I read it in someone's journal. I haven't used my aol by phone in a while. It's funny how the jounals go through phases....pictures, voices, lists....I wonder if the videos will be next? I also wonder how long people will keep their journals up and running. Is it a phase that will peter out and everyone will lose touch? Or have we made friendships that will endure? I think it's amazing how so many of us have become such good friends, and a part of one another's lives. It's great.

Well, enough of my rambling for tonight. I'm tired and thinking about going to bed. I love my bedroom. It's my little corner of the world. I have never had a bedroom that I have loved like this one. The colors are so soothing and inviting. And I love sitting on the loveseat in there, reading or watching tv. Anyone else feel that way about their bedrooms....or any other corner of the house? My other spot is my swing in the backyard. There's nothing like swining and relaxing on a warm summer day....

You know, I don't care about Friends either and I thought I was the only one who didn't.  I watch Survivor.  I only watched Friends the first year or so until they became greedy and then I really didn't like them as much.  Anyway, glad you got all dressed up today and had a good day.  I love my bedroom too, but wish I had a sitting room like I had in my last house.  I'm having one in my next house, though.  Have a good night.

I can't believe you have a sitting room in your bedroom. My the houses are so small here the rooms are so small. I don't own a cell phone that is mine so I never talk on a cell in public and I think it's rude too in waitings rooms and such.  Who the hell wants to here someone elses convo? Not me! I have hated friends from the beginning. Rachel is a dog and has a big head...its HUGE! Her hairs okay but that show had a great stylist. Every picture of her I see when she's not on the set her hair is a raggy mess. As for the journals....I thought months ago it would die down. I have never seen such a strong group online before this. We do all seem to have our little cliques and there is nothing wrong with that. You connect with people you connect to and relate to or find amusing and thats that.
I ain't going any where. I suppose we will all have days where we don't feel like writing and days we write like crazy but we've been doing it for so long now...doubt we'd stop.

Your homemakers uniform? Isn't that the french maids outfit? hehehe  Never liked friends ether, It was always my last choice. And yes, we do make friends that will last or at least I sure hope so. I for one am hooked and love the people here in J land. I like to watch TV in my bedroom too. It's my favorite place besides my computer area. Big hugs, Lanny  PS: and aren't all women collectors of shoes?

I agree with the "Friends" comments too, I haven't watched it in years!! And I will not be watching the last episode either.  I am a Survivor fan all the way!! LOL.  I hope J-land continues!!  I just got here and you all better not go anywhere!!!  And our bedroom is the room we all end up in, I love our bedroom, and before all three of us were snuggling in the bed talking about our day.  Ya, it's a great room.  Maybe we should all post pictures of our bedrooms!!  Have a good night.  :o) Julie

Whew glad I'm not the only one who is sick about hearing Friends all the time, enough is enough! Ok I feel better now....
I use to be a shoe hound, but here in the last few years I haven't been, maybe there is some sort of recovery group I can go to?

You actually have different clothes for staying home and going out?!  Man, where have I been?!?!  I basically wake up in the morning and what I put on in the dark of the bedroom is what I keep on for the rest of the day!  I have become so low maintenance and didn't even realize it until your entry!  Hee-hee!  About Friends, I get 5 different magazines each week and I too am SOOOOO sick of hearing about Friends and also about Brad & Jen and if and when they will have a baby.  Who cares?!?  But I must admit, that I am enjoying the pics of Brad in his outfits from the new movie "Troy"!  Can't wait to see that one!  GRRROOOWWWL!

I guess my little "corner" of peace in my house is my bedroom also.  But, not because of the soothing colors or because it is so peaceful.  It's basically this . . . there is a bed, I get in it and I sleep!  Ahhhh, BLISS!!!!
Hugs and love, Lisa
