I don't see you on my face book friend request, all I see on it is some

The request does show up there right, not in my email? I can't remember how it works, but that's nothing new.LOL If I can't find it on face book I'll come back on here. Talk to ya in a bit.

Morning Bren
After they came back from that two week trip out west they were suppose to go back to Calgary this weekend, but his boss called and said he only wanted my husband to go back. So we don't know what's going on, just that he had to go back by him self this time. It doesn't bother him, but we we're thinking after the boss got the bills for the rent a car, the gas, they're rooms and they're food he decided it was way to much money to send more then one guy. I just hope they don't end up scrapping the whole deal now because I actually enjoy him being gone.LOL He gets under my feet when he's home.LOL
As for my Lilacs, they seem to be holding on, but I never dug my Lilies right up, I just dug all the crap that had grown over them out. They're still in the grown, but they're also still hanging on, knock on wood. It got below freezing here last night and I haven't bin out to look at them yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm sorry you lost all of your Aloe plants, I wish I could send you some of mine. That mask does sound wonderful though, I'll have to give it a try. How much of each thing did you use, or did you just toss it together with out measuring.
I also noticed you commented on that GlossyBox thing that I bought. I looked at so many others over this past last year that I didn't know witch on to try first, I only picked this one because they finally decided to take pay pal. I was getting a little up set when it took so long to get to me, but now that its here I think its going to be worth it. That is as long as its not this late every month. I added up how much everything would cost me to buy. I know how much everything costs because they tell you on a little card that comes with it. Any how it came to $100.98 and that's with out the tax. So it was well worth the $15 to buy it. Plus they gave me 500 Glossy dots because we had to wait so long. When you get to 1000 dots you get a free box. You can get the dots by reviewing what you got in each box on their web site of course and by inviting others to join. If anyone joins that you invite you get more dots. So I think I'm going to keep it up for awhile and see how it goes. I figured if I don't like something I get, I can always give it as little gifts. Do you want me to invite you to join? I think I can use your ChickAdvisor addy, but I'm not sure if they'd take that as a real address. You could always go to hot mail and make a new one just for this and then change it to which ever addy you want later. That way no one else will know what your email addy is. Oh and I don't know if you noticed this or not, but when we write to anyone on here it doesn't show up on the main page any longer. They changed that a few weeks back, so everyone on the site doesn't know when we have a new message and can't read what ever we're saying to each other any more. That is unless they just go through everyone's being nosy everyday. I really like that change because I was having people comment on things I say to people on my page when I wasn't even talking to them. This way it's a little more private and I can always just delete your addy as soon as I get it on here. If you don't like that idea, I have a few email addy's, I can always send you one of mine and we can talk that way. You don't have to to any of that if you don't feel comfortable, I understand completely, but if you were thinking about joining the GlossyBox site, remember you can always cancel it if you don't like it, even after only getting one box. Sorry this is so long, I always seem to get on a roll when I'm talking to ya, it must be the Irish men in me.LOL Let me know what you decide to do with with the email thing, but remember if you don't feel comfortable doing any of that I understand and you won't be offending me at all if you don't want to do any of that. Have a great day Bren and enjoy your weekend.

Morning Bren, no worries, I thought he was down during
our March brake, but I guess I got that wrong. I'd want to spend ever
minute I could with my son too, so I completely understand. That landing
strip really needs to be moved to a much safer place. I would have bin a
nervous rack if I was watching my son fly in and out of a place like
that. It sounds like some pretty scary stuff!! I'm happy you were able
to enjoy your time together and hope you're able to do it again soon. My
husband came home from Prince Gorge last night. He was gone for eleven
days, but he's going back to Calgary this Thursday and there's talk of
them heading to Alaska after that. He's getting to see all kinds of
places he never would have if it wasn't for this job. He told me when
they were driving back from Victoria
to Prince Gorge, they stopped to get some smoked salmon at this guy's
place. The owner took their picture standing in front of the smoke house
and is going to be using it when he make's his web site. I think he
might change his mind about that after he see how the pic turns out.LOL
The last week he was gone we were braking record highs everyday. We even
got as high as 86 last Thursday and it was hitting 82 to 84 on the days
before that. Crazy or what? We dropped back down into the 50's now, but
I'm afraid I'm going to lose all of my Lilac's and Lilies. Everything
thought it was spring and began to bloom and we might get down to
freezing this coming week. I can save some of my Lilies , but I don't
think I'll be able to do much for my Lilac's. If you have any tricks
please let me know, I'd hate to lose either of them. Have a great day
Bren, talk to ya soon.

Hey kiddo did you get to see your son yet? I couldn't
remember when you said he was coming, but I thought you said it was our
during March brake. If it was last week I hope you enjoyed every last
minute you had together and got lots of hugs and kiss's from him. I bet
he gave you lots of those just for the perogies you made for him.LOL

My kids went back to school today, thank God!! They kept me up late
every night and I never got to sleep in one day while they were off. If I
wake up I have a very hard time getting back to sleep no matter how
tried I am, it sucks! Our March brake weather was great, we broke 5 high
temp recorders and we're on our way to braking even more this week.
Last weeks highest temp was 75, but they say we could hit 80 by
tomorrow! Its crazy for this time of year, but I'm loving every minute
of it. I even forgot and left my windows open the other night. I was
lucky and it only went down to 52, but my plants weren't to happy with
me. Their so use to having the heat on in the house that the temp change
shocked a few. I thought I was going to lose my lemon tree, but after
losing a few branches it bounced back. Have a nice night Bren, talk to
ya again soon.

Hey Bren, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I've bin busy trying to get my old man packed and out the door. I had to be up and drive him to the air port for 5am today. I can't believe I'm still awake especially after my kids kept me up all night. Their off on March brake, so their up all night and sleep most of the day away. They don't know what their missing right now. Its beautiful here, sunny and warm! Sorry I don't mean to keep rubbing it in, I know you still have snow, but it won't be long now, it should be starting to go away for you soon. I really don't know how you can stand not seeing your son for so long, I think that would kill me! Your perogies sound so good, I think I'm going try adding my cheese like you do the next time I'm up to making some. I really only like them with potatoes and cheese too. Some of the best recipes I have I gotten came from my grandparents, or my older in-laws. They knew how to cook and did it well! As for that Febreeze badge, I didn't think I got it at first either. Then after I mentioned it it showed up, so look again you might have it now. If not tell Alex, she'll fix it for you. I got the car vent freshener and it didn't even work. Dennis took it and put it in his truck before I could even try it, but he said it wouldn't work. So I took it back from him and tried it in my car. The same thing happen, nothing would come out of it no matter what I tried. Did you get one and if so did it work for you? I hope you enjoy every minute you have with your son Bren, take lots of pic's and hug him hard. Have a nice day.

Hi Bren, it's bin raining like crazy today, better then snow I guess , but yesterday we hit 68
for the high. I still can't get over how warm our winter's bin.

Perogie's!! Can I come??LOL
I used to make home made perogies all the
time, but since my neck and back gave out I haven't bin able to do near as much
cooking as I use to. Store bought perogies just aren't the same! When I made them I liked to add
lot of cheddar and mozzarella to mine, how about you, any special way
you make yours?
How long has it bin since you saw your son? Mine drive
me crazy sometime, but when Mike went away camping for a week last summer it almost
killed me. I don't know if I could take not being able to see my kids. I
hope you have a great time with him and treasure every minute you have
together. Have a great day Bren and good luck making your perogie's.
  Great Taste

Hey kiddo, how ya doing?

My old man left for Edmonton today to work until this coming Tuesday.
Then he's going going to B.C. on the 13th and then onto other places out
west. His company took over for the American Millwrights that were
doing the work because they said they couldn't handle all of the west
coast. I sure needed some time away from him for a little while. He was
making me crazy being home under foot all day long, getting into my wash
and trying to load my dishwasher. I had to follow behind him and redo
everything he tried to do. He was just making even more work for me.LOL Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he helps out, I just wish he'd do it right the first time
around.LOL. So things are really starting to look up for us now, his mom
even went home to her own apartment for good. He thought this was the
big one, but she's a strong woman and isn't going any where until she's
good and ready to. Any how I was just wondering how you were doing. Give
me a shout back when you can and let me know how things are with you.
Have a nice night. Bye for now.

Hey Bren, no problem, I know how busy we all can get. My Vday was
nice and quiet. The old man gave me some flowers witch was a
surprise because we don't usually do anything for that day. Now Paczki
day, witch is today is another story. I only disscovered them about ten
years ago and couldn't believe what I was missing out on all that time.

As for your plant, did you try any of the tips I sent you. When I had
one of mine in our bathroom it did the same thing. As soon as I put it
back in that room I showed you with all the windows it went nuts. That
where I got all the rest of mine. So as long as you have one left you
still have hope. All I can think of is all the snow you have gotten. It
may not be getting enough sun. Or its get to much, or not enough water.
Just keep trying what I told you before and you might be able to save
it. Spring is right around the corner now, thank GOD!! LOL

Have a nice day Bren and happy Paczki day!
