So Tuesday was my birthday. Happy Birthday to me!!! I worked during the day, went to Menards on my way home for primer. (I am going to be redoing my dd's room) I also looked at some new lighting for my living room (that room is getting overhauled too). I found some lights that I really like but I don't think they will match the hunter green carpet that is going in. When the carpet is free you can't complain about the color. I also got some paint chips for my living room. The walls are currenlty a pale light blue and that just will not match the green carpet! On my way home my Dad called me. He wanted me to stop at my Grandma's and check on her. She has the flu and things are coming out of both ends of her body. She is 83 next month and Grandpa is currently in the nursing home so she is there all by herself. I rewashed some laundry for her, got her some fresh water and told her I would stop back by after my dinner with my girlfriends.

Sherry, Renee & I meet up at Smuggler's Cove for dinner. It was the 3 of us girls and our 6 children. We are always out numbered! We had a good time. My Dad called during dinner to let me know that he had been to Grandma's but she was still expecting me to stop by again. Tracy called me too to wish me a Happy Birthday, she sees me 3 days a week and still remembered to call me on my birthday. After dinner I stopped back at Grandma's, switched her laundry around, cleaned up after her cat and then told her I would stop back by in the morning to switch the laundry again. Too bad I forgot to start the darn dryer!

Then it was back to my house for cake & ice cream. Jordyn made the cake, Renee finished it up by making it into a Better then Sex cake! Yummy! Renee's husband Jesse got to my house while we were still having dinner. He made himself comfy on my couch and was watching American Idol when we got there. They got me a pretty silver necklace, some stuff for my hair, a candle and some yummy smelling bath stuff. They (Renee) always get me something good! They are great friends. I really should do something nice for them.

Yesterday morning I went back to Grandma's to switch her laundry around and discovered that I forgot to turn the darn dryer on the night before. I got her some tea, some fresh water and asked her if she had taken medication yet. She hadn't. I asked her if she wanted any imodinium. She about kicked herself. She had some in her cupboard and forgot about it. Hopefully that will help her feel better quicker.

I stopped at Grandma's again yesterday after work and again this morning. She is doing so much better!

Last night while attempting to scrap the paint off of the paneling in my daughter's room, I removed a cork board that was on the wall when I bought the house. I then discovered why the cork board was on the wall. There were 3 holes in the wall! It looked like someone's knee, head and fist went through it. Just the nice little surprises I find in this house. So now I am going to be removing the paneling and replacing it with drywall. So much for an easy project! I will post some before and after pictures once it is all done.
