What's Up Girlfriends?

I am on day one of my body, mind, and soul renewal program.  Last 

night was okay, but I did wake up at 3 am and started reading a new book

until my eyelids got heavy around 4am.  So far, I like this book, the title is

Still Life by Louise Penny.  My dear friend Claudia over at 

Mockingbird Hill Cottage, likes Louise Penny very much, so I thought

I would give it a try and checked out a copy at my local library.  I do

like mysteries and am working on my own.  I think I told you that before

didn't I? 

So when my eyelids started to get heavy, I crawled back into bed and turned

on my Tunein Radio ~ a free app on my phone ~ so that I could listen to

the first hour of Coast to Coast am, a replay coming out of Idaho on News

Radio 590.  George Noury's (the host) guest was Glynis McCants, aka 

"The Numbers Lady"who was making predictions using numerology.  I 

can't say that I believe in numerology, but it's fun to listen to.  I didn't hear

a word of it, because I fell asleep.  By the way, David and I figured out our

numbers once ~ I am a 3 and he is a 5.  3's are the communicators ~ well no

surprise there ;-)  5's are fun loving people who crave adventure, and that

is David.    But as I was saying, I really don't believe in that stuff, well,

maybe just a little bit.

Regarding sleepless nights, I will have to tell you the story about this bear

who sits on the window seat in my office.  Years ago I went on a three day

buying trip to Seattle with two other women.  I had been on these buying

trips before and it was always fun seeing the new designs in furniture,

linens and china.  It was tiring too.  The sponsors of these shows were 

there to get buyers to commit to lots of new purchases and kept our 

schedules filled for long days and nights.

After a full day and dinner, the three of us returned to our suite, hoping

to make it an early night.  I crawled into my hotel bed and tossed and turned.

So, I got up, got dressed and went down to the gift shop to buy a book

or magazine to read.  I did find a book, but I saw this bear and thought she

was so cute and bought her also.  When I got back to the room and

crawled into bed with my book, I took the bear with me too.  I ended up

putting the book down, turning out the light and falling asleep with my

arms wrapped around the bear.  I slept as soundly as a little girl that

night, so I have always considered her my good luck bear.

It's finally sunny outside today, so I will be spending about an hour in 

the garden spreading egg shells around some of my plants that the snails

have been chomping on.  I read that egg shells will keep the snails away,

so now that the gully washers have stopped, I am armed and ready to

give those snails the boot!

Then later on, it's 45 full minutes with Denise Austin doing Pilates.

Yoga mat on the floor, a couple of light weights and I'll be working

on my core.

That's what's up with me.  What's up with you girlfriends?

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
