2-18-12 Donuts for the weekend

Good morning, everyone!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Good morning Sunny! How is everyone these days? Have missed you all. Not much here, but hope Spring arrives soon. I am looking forward to planting season again. Well you all take cake and God Bless You!

You are missed, Karen. Come by more often.

Good morning everyone. I'm EXTREMELY nervous this morning. Didn't sleep at all last night. If you recall, I told you about my cousin who was estranged from the rest of the family due to the way she acted / treated her elderly parents when they each were incapable of caring for themselves. I first mentioned here about a year ago that she wanted to be friends on facebook. ( I called a big family powwow with a huge conference call to decide what should be done since it would open other family members to having their names seen. ) All went well with that because of little or no posts. Then we started playing a game as "friends". After all this time, she had an epiphany and wants to make up with the family. She's coming to my house around ten this morning to "apologize and ask forgiveness" since I'm the one that had the major dealings with her plus we were closer than I am with one of my sisters.

RS, I hope everything goes smoothly.

I've got blueberry muffins just out of the oven this morning. I was up until midnight cleaning and decorating for Annabelle's party. And now Ava's awake so I must go. Have a great weekend everyone.

Good luck, Shirley.
Have fun, Fos.

Good luck Shirley! Remember...you can except her apology but you don't have to except her with open arms.

Well, cousin just left. I felt like I wanted to be sick the whole time she was here. I went to the bakery early this morning so I could offer her something while she was here. I couldn't even take a bite.

She did a lot of talking about when we were kids, health problems, her grand kids, etc., but never once apologized / explained about her actions. In fact she acted like the last 20 years never happened. (It was so bad back then that she was being investigated for abusing / neglecting her dad who had alzheimer's, then took him out of the state and hid him........yep, I set the investigatiion in motion).

I better make a family conference call, and clue them in. I know I'll get yelled at because I didn't tell anyone that she asked to see me. Then I'll try to take a short nap. Tonight is the game dinner put on to benefit the fallen fire fighters in our area.

Shirley, at least you made the attempt. ♥

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
I'm at w*rk. (I know how "cuss" words go over here !)

Oh, Shirley, I'm so sorry. How stressful for you. And after saying she wanted to apologize, she never even mentioned it??? Sounds like she was hoping a nice friendly chat would just make it all go away. Too sad.

Shirley,
Oh MY....I'm so sorry that she didn't apologize to you and the family. Sounds like a write off relative.and I have had a couple of those in the past. She sounds like she's been a horrid person and has nothing in her mind but excuses for her behavior. Unfriend her quickly if you haven't already.
Just put her out of your mind and have a good time tonight.

Good afternoon/evening. Our internet was down for most of the day. First time that's happened in awhile.

Shirley, I'm so sorry about your bad experience today. Sounds like this cousin is incapable of relating to anyone's feelings and needs other than her own.
HI, Newt. Oh to answer your question from the other day.....1300 a.
Hello, Myst. Lol about the cuss word. Your days off sure did pass by fast!
Barb, don't you wish bill paying could be something you could get done and it wouldn't need doing again? Ha ha.
Rew and Sunny, I hope you are having a great weekend.
Rocky, hope the party is/was great! I can't remember what time it was to happen.
Samigb, good to see you. I bet your planting season isn't too far away, at least for a few things.
Lil0, hi there!

We had drizzling rain for most of the day. Only got just under half an inch but water is standing everywhere. It was cold today but we're to be in the 60s* all this coming week. These are wonderful conditions for growing grass!

I'm watching American Songbook on PBS. It's fun hearing about the old songs, learning their history and seeing clips of the original performances.
