Bailey and Friends

Hi Marie!

Now haven't I told you you need to get your beauty sleep?? What's with this 1:39 AM stuff? Or maybe that's EST? That wouldn't be so bad.

I am glad you are no longer awol. I've missed you. Now we have to get Carrol back....she's on awol again. :mad::(

Bailey doesn't like any "stick" that is taller than she is (that's just about everything) and she doesn't like any motors. And today-she doesn't like Bob's slippers....he put them on the edge of the tub to dry out. Seems he pushed that handle one too many times!! Haha. :rolleyes: It took 5 old bath towels to mop it all up.....by him.

Yes-you did miss the last piece of pie. I ate 1/2 of it, then Bob finished it off. HOWEVER, there has been a suggestion for another one for Christmas. Do you know a pound of pecans cost TWELVE DOLLARS??? :eek::eek::eek::eek: I guess you do if you made a pie. Get in line and maybe you'll get a piece. You have to be wearing your RED sweater, or I won't recognize you. :D

I'm doing desk work....making dr appts and asking places why they are billing me. Yesterday I made a huge dent in straightening up this studio of mine. I hope to continue on a roll today and take care of those sorted papers. It got to be too much, even for me. There were bills I could not find on my desk that I knew were there somewhere.

Bob and I are headed out to put decorations out at the entrance gardens to our little development of 17 houses. A Mrs. Christmas, a Mr. Christmas, bows and garland. I usually have that done by this time. Here the decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving. In VA we did it around the 15th.

Love,
Susan

I am not awol - I'm sulking!!. You guys keep talking about the last piece of pecan pie...well, who got all the rest, huh???
Ok, the wolloping whale and I are still here. We have exhausted all means to get out of here. The FEDEX guy said he would take me but the whale didn't stand a chance in h..l! That REALLY upset Wally who thinks he looks outstanding in my sunglasses. IMO, he just looks ridiculous.:rolleyes: So I decided we are off to Iraq. I got the directions from some Arab guy on a camel who spoke no English but he did do a lot of grunting and pointing and Wally thinks he has it figured out. I'm glad he took off because he had a strange look in his eye as did his camel. I'm really not up to being anyone's girl-toy - man or beast:cool: He (Wally) said he (Wally) will get us there only if I will take him wardrobe shopping as soon as we reach a mall. He heard that Macy's is having a friends and family sale. Really, this mammal is getting to be too much.
We're going to Iraq because the troops are supposed to be leaving by the end of this month and I would LOVE to ride in one of those jets (the whale can hang on to the wing for all I care!!)
Soooo, we are about to leave just as soon as blubber-puss here finishes putting chapstick on his lips. Hey, it's not likely he will meet any potential Mrs. wally out here but he says "You have to always look your best because you never know. I haven't mentioned it but a little deodorant under those fins would go a long way.
So, now we're off again..............

Did I hear Macy's is having a sale?????


Hey, who is coming over to my house to help me decorate for Christmas? Zoe and Koko are not tall enough to do the tree:D:D:

How come I'm not hearing any volunteers!!!!!!!!!

i'm too tired addy

Carrol-you put such a big smile on my face that my cheeks hurt!
I'll come back and post when I can think of something spectacular as a response!
-Susan

Addy-how tall is your tree? What refreshments are you serving? Will you pay my airfare??

Carrol-
I have received a cablegram (yes, a cablegram) from Wally.He is really frustrated with not being able to get you to move. Faster. He does not like the scent of the deodorant you supplied. He is VERY thirsty. He misses his Mom and his home. Wally gets airsick and does NOT like lip gloss. Wally tells me he is leaving.....the h*$# with the Macy's sale. He has his one bathing suit and that is all he needs-besides his sunglasses. He wanted to get a hat, but anytime he has, his blow hole blows it off!! Wally also met a cute whalette on the way over. He wants to pursue that possibility. Don't you think a gaggle, or a litter, or little whalinies would be cute?? We could get them all red sweaters.

About the pie.....if you knew we'd been talking about it so long, why didn't you speak up? Whale got your tongue? Arab got your tongue? Camel got your tongue? FTD could have brought you a piece. :confused:

Among non-mahram men, women must cover the parts of the body that are awrah (not meant to be exposed). Women must wear the hijab (head covering), and full black cloak called an abaya. Do you have those? Does Macy's carry your size? Does that Macy's have that little old man who plays the piano all day long? He sure must be tired by now. :eek:

Well-it's my bedtime. Don't get too hot in all those black clothes!!;)

-Susan

Well, too bad for old tubby if he doesn't like the deodorant! It's not like we have a lot of choices out here in nomad land. He's starting to get on my nerves. Whose idea whas it to send him? And why? It certainly was not to help me. Old blubber puss thinks he is on vacation and is demanding room service and pooolside drinks. You think he would have noticed THERE IS NO ROOM AND THERE IS NO POOL!!!!:mad:
I told him we are going to Iraq and he put up quite a fight. Apparently, he thought I had said "Iran" (which of course was Persia) and he thought he would get a ride on a magic carpet. Forget the "stubborn as a mule". Try "stubborn as a whale"! However, I am forging on and the whale can stay behind if he wants to. "IRAN", duh!
Addy, you MISSED Macy's sale!!!! I heard they had a great deal on red sweaters!
Wind is coming up, we gotta move...........

I'm never going to get my tree up.:o:o:o:o:o:o:o


I have 2 presents purchased:(:(:(:(:(:(


I'm gonna run away from hone and go find Caroll. She can't be as stressed out as me.

The desert looks really good. My tree could be a mirage
freakin' addy

Awwwwwwwwwwww.......Addy..........

Me thinks you lost the spirit.:( I have plenty to pass around. :D I'll send you a picture of my tree and you can blow it up and use it as your tree. :) You can make it whatever height you like. Presents are another matter. How about ordering fruit from Florida for everyone? Or Elaine's Toffee (see her ads on tv?) Or-if not food....let's see.......how about gift coupons for places? There's McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Papa John's.............you could give each one their own....so they'd feel special. No?:confused: Need something unique......quick....log on to Personal Creations.:eek: They have tons of stuff you can get personalized. They'll probably even wrap it for you for a small fee. Or you can just use those gift bags....like at the Hallmark store? That's what my neighbor does. She never wraps anything any more. It just goes into a gift bag. (I know you weren't looking for suggestions.)

Wally called. He's on his way back from the desert. He met some cute chick....I mean whalini....and is happy as can be.:) He left without Carrol. He said she was too whiny.:( He should be home by Christmas. :D I plan to cook a special meal for him, followed by Jerky Treats for dessert. I hope his girlfriend likes me. The waters are turning cold and he asked to get him some ear muffs.....and a scarf. He also wants me to save him a piece of pecan pie. I saw a recipe today for white chocolate pecan pie. That does NOT sound good to me.

Well-I have to go write on some Christmas cards. Take a deep breath and count to 25 (you know......December 25th?). Go to the spa. Have a glass of wine. Get a massage and your nails done. You'll come back recharged!:D:)

Love,
Sus

She huffed and she puffed and she pulled with all her might, slowly the large box came up the stairs. Gasping for air, she opened the box and started to assemble the artificial tree. The pieces were heavy, but she was determined. It may not be a real tree but hey, the lights were already on it. She could always go cut some boughs from the evergreens in the yard. They could provide that wonderful smell.

Balancing precariously one one foot, the small chair tipping back, she was too tired to go drag out the ladder from the garage, she managed to connect the top of the tree. After three tries, the lights worked.

She sat down on the sofa, turned off the lamps and stared at the twinkling lights. No ornaments but it was a start. She found the spirit that very night.

May your days be Merry and Bright!

Love,
addy

I love all the silly posts !!!:)

My posts are on EST so I am not really up that late.

It is nice Carrol and Wally are on their adventure and keep us up to date.

Enjoy the weekend!!!
