IN WHICH OUR HEROINE DISCOVERS THAT HER FUTURE HUSBAND IS IN THE SAME STATE...AT LAST

Well, well, well.

It only took three or four years of spinster voodoo, but my beloved Jeffrey Dean Morgan is going to be in Hoosierville this weekend to drive the pace car for the Indy 500.

(Do you suppose I should get out my bonnet and hanky and head down to the race so that I can bat my eyelashes at him and holler "YOOOOHOOOO, Darling Dear!  Come give us a kiss!" over the roar of the engines?)

(As our Queen Leader Stitcherista would say "That's a whole lotta NOPE on that one!")

Wow.  What a day I had yesterday!  I met with the pulminologist in the morning and scheduled the sleep study for the end of June.  Thank you for all of your encouragement about a possible cpap.  I will stop my whining about it now, especially since I'm not even sure I need one yet.  Besides...if they tell me that it is necessary and that it will help me get a new kidney and feel better, I'll wear the damn thing 24/7 and just bedazzle the heck out of it.

From there I headed down to the Hinterlands to pick up Bosco for the weekend.  It is amazing to me how we can be apart and yet resume our cuddles right where we left off:
We're going to hang out together until Tuesday, and then he'll go back to his Mommie so that I can get ready for the big move to CS2.0.

Then, after we got home, I got the call that my new glasses were ready to be picked up!  So I hightailed it over to the WalMarts and did the Happy Dance right there in front of God and everybody in the vision center because they are just so darn swell I can't stand it!
They are navy blue tortoise shell, which you can't see at all in the craptastic photo, but they are also progressive bifocals...and...here's the best part...I CAN TOTALLY STITCH WITH THEM

They weigh practically nothing at all, too, and were right in my budget range which is c.h.e.a.p.  No more fancypants eyeglass boutique for this girl on a budget!

So I sat in the Happy Chair and did another row of Poppers:

And then it was time for Bosco and I to brush our teeth and wash our faces and go to bed, so we did just that.  We had a good sleep, even though he insisted on tooting and snoring his way right through the night.

Today will be a visit with the kidney doc and the box delivery from the moving company, and then tomorrow I'm packing the studio.  Sunday will be the packing of the "office" armoire, and then I'm going to take a rest on Monday and put something on the grill for a little Memorial Day cookout.

And then next week it's off to the races!

Which brings us full cirlce, I suppose.  I haven't watched the Indy 500 since I was a little girl in Lima, but methinks I might just make a special exception this year.

I just hope I can find my bonnet and hanky.

  4. I love my progressives too, they do take a bit of getting used to but not for long, now I wouldn't wear anything else! I love them on you...gorgeous!
    I went on readers.com (thanks for the link :)) and saw tons of cuties...those red with the flowers "blew my skirt up" as you would say.
    I'm so glad to see Bosco is with you for a bit, and still wonder why he can't be part of CS2.0 permanently...jus saying'
    You are doing great Coni, let us all know how your weekend is going?
    Hugs

  5. Nice selfie. Therefore, from this moment on you are hereby forbidden (in the spirit of newness and healing), to ever, and I do mean ever, say anything negative about your appearance again. You, my dear, are quite lovely. Mr. Morgan would be a very fortunate man. Although I don't think you should settle.

  6. LMBO! Love, love, love your writing and way of putting things, Coni! Your glasses are beautious! Poppers is the most colorful, cheerful and uplifting piece to behold. :) Let me add that I, too, am on a bi-pap (it goes 2 ways instead of just one). Have your specialist explain it, cause I can't. Let me tell you... I LOVE mine. I use it ALL the time, even when I just take a 'snoozy' nap. :D Bless you and yours. Love, hugs & prayers, Cathryn ♥

  7. I tell you right now you are going to think you are on the escalator to Heaven the first time you go to the grocery store and want to read the back of cans or boxes! You will be so happy with what you can do with those glasses you will just want to read every can and box in sight!!

  8. I agree! No more dissing your appearance! I love the glasses and I covet your hair. I have thin sad lifeless hair no matter what I do. Oh well have a great Memorial Day and hugs to Bosco!

  13. JDM might be worth a wave of the hankie...but expect to
    lure others with that look of adoration on your face...
    Love where Poppers is going...contributes to the happy dance for all of us. Great specs.. great selfie... so glad Bosco has joined you for the holiday.. he probably wields a mean packing tape dispenser ...keep us in the loop as to your weekend progresses.. Enjoy.

  14. Nice glasses! I have progressives also and love them but I can't quite stitch with them. Still have to use my readers. I think you should go and bat your eyelashes at JDM! With those new glasses, you never know, lol. Love your selfie...you look nice, Coni! Good to see Bosco keeping you company. Poppers looks great!

  16. The new glasses are fabulous! You are so busy! I'm so glad you get some down time.

  17. Love your frames, just what I am looking for. Bifocals make me dizzy (dizziER) so I've not tried progressives. You have some fab hair girl.

  18. Looking good Coni! What gorgeous hair, mine is like rats' tails. I love the glasses, they will give you super powers. Remember to take your camera to the races. Got any binoculars so you can look out for your heart-throb?

  19. Love the specs,Coni! As a 'half blind' old bat from across the pond I was a little thrown by the description of progressives. Are they like bi-focals without the line? As far as JDM is concerned, throw yourself anywhere near him, bonnet and hanky firmly in place!

    1. I have progressives too -- yes, bifocals without the line, except that mine are tri-focals (close, computer and distance), but I still need to add readers for stitching.

  22. You look great in your stylin' new glasses, Coni!! Aren't no-line bifocals the best???? As soon as I needed bifocals, I went straight to no-line and haven't looked back. Good luck with the packing of your precious stitch stuff!
