<br />
I've heard parents instruct their children, teachers instruct their students, etc..., but 9 times out of ten that phrase is either preceded by or accompanied with, "Do unto others as you would have do unto you."<br />
<br />
I used to be friends with a girl who would lash out at you verbally and/or blatantly ignore you, but when confronted about it, she wouldn't actually tell you what was bothering her. Instead, she'd spit out the phrase, "If you don't have anything nice to say, etc..." as if following that <u><b>one</b></u> simple guideline was enough to excuse her venomous/aggressive behavior directed toward me and/or others.<br />
<br />
<br />
The crazy thing is, I was living my life under the false identity of friendship with the gal. Not realizing that she had long since dumped my friendship ass to the curb. LOL!<br />
<br />
Funny how one minute you think your in, when you're really out. And when you finally realize you're out, you're actually the one who's in. =)<br />
<br />
All in all, I'd say this change of events has worked out in my favor. =D<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of other things that have also worked out in my favor:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My friend John gave me these 3 canvases and I thought to myself, "Self, you need to do some painting today." So this is the before. You can't see them, but I've got vinyl numbers stuck on the canvas and the blue color sticking thru is the painter's tape to add a little contrast once the paint dries. </td></tr>

Hi, my name is Rachel and I am a blog slacker. I haven't updated this blog is a little over 2 years, but that's okay because it's my blog and I can do what I want. =P <br />
<br />
A lot has happened in the past two years:<br />
<ul>
<li>I quit my job after 10 years of service by accepting an newer, more exciting job that I absolutely love. </li>
<li>I changed my hair color - a couple of times</li>
</ul>

She's lost 3 pant sizes since this picture was taken. =) </div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431883790883677586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCCLNs1SrZz6uq5bzMA3RKdKIJ7AbKEumDeRf91-8rjuC_553uvFkvOtzgrsuxYg-Vvklvpya72jxAexvQJhszeqNNYnIjkPFb8PQ-KBMrWKwZWrT8dvELoEQh1buwrfPlvDL4TUbSJQMf/s320/Me+and+Sonia.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><p>I didn't have to join the gym, mind you, in order to participate in the boot camp, but when I went to sign up, the days that I wanted to attend were already full, and the days that I couldn't attend were being forced upon me. Fortunately, the girl behind the counter told me that if I was to join the gym, I could go to any class - that's right - ANY class at any time on any day that I wanted to. Another perk to joining was that instead of being brow beaten, terrorized, and tortured by the personal trainers leading each work out session, I could show up, do my best, get water when I wanted, and not be yelled at like the others, who were not members. </p><p>So, I joined and was weighed and measured, and then had those measurements jotted down in my records. I have been trying to go every Wednesday & Friday @ 6pm and every Saturday at 10am. </p><p>Wednesdays & Fridays are my beginning boot camp classes with Suzy. I like Suzy because she pushes us with repetition, but doesn't single you out if you can't do something. I have bad knees and poor circulation in my ankles and feet, so jumping is not an option at the moment, but I've started substituting running in place when I can't do the jumping exercises. </p><p>Suzy looks like she could have been a former body builder, and she may have well been. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431890317460157138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 294px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBk6WWJq4F24uyq-bnLpRVtAiob6_-sJY6m9z4PFgrFIa8COLHJ7cuzouFUx40AKiKCCMRDm2iycuYUCZiTwGfz9XEItpTnMD1JNI8AMtCE_h6vzWjwlawrA_rxM2qwZ-yXO9Jm2dDPBQS/s320/suzy.jpg" border="0" />Her work outs are total body. We do squats, push ups, lunges, weights, jumping, running, stretching - you name it, we do it.<br /><br /><p>But Saturday....oh Saturday is another story. </p><p>Daniel teaches the Saturday class, and he does not play. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431891174987903138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgHvreFDcDzGLT3oJVHHvbpl2-hYmr0tVotW67HfFXKKzioFbsrDV6wId-qoCPUN5wf75W9ijHd4Xy4kMw2x4NIdEdM56y1Zpqx0Tc1HyB51X2ob6iY3rR3_eP7_aed_ISMRNiz86bmcF/s320/danile%2520pic.jpg" border="0" /> <p></p><p>We start with squats, then do jumping jacks - 500 as of last Saturday - then we change it up and add weights to our squats. We do squats standing up; we do squats while squatting; we do squats lying on the floor, and squats any time in between. If you are late to his class, he makes you do jumping jacks. Sometimes 50; sometimes 150. If you take too long to get water, he makes you do jumping jacks. If you've been told not to do something, but you try to anyway, he'll stop the music, call you out on it in a very loud voice, and make the entire class start over. This is, of course, very annoying because we're usually doing squats. </p><p>There is a possibility that I may try a 30 minute TRX class on Sunday afternoons, but it kind of cuts my chances of going out to eat with my friends after church, so I'm not really sure about it. Sonia, of course, is the one who told me about TRX. I'm not really sure what it is, but the description says suspension training. I'm interested, but a little nervous. </p><p>This is what Elite Fitness has on their website:</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzODGa3z66Y&feature=player_embedded">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzODGa3z66Y&feature=player_embedded</a></p>Perhaps I'll go, and then let you know what I think.<br /><br /><p></p>Ray Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410349197285828664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4867770593058471504.post-79890940171820016182010-01-25T12:05:00.001-05:002010-01-25T13:49:24.080-05:00I can't see you anymore....So I have these two friends....kind of. I say kind of because one of them only contacts me when he's horny, and the other guy, well...it's complicated.<br /><br />Just so you don't get confused and their anonymity isn't exposed, I'll call them Tampa and Texas. Tampa being the one who calls me when he's horny, and Texas being the other guy.<br /><br />I've known Tampa since HS, but was never good friends with him - I guess you could say our friendship circles intertwined. I had friends, who were friends with his friends. It was late February/early March when he first contacted me on FB. (Ahh...Facebook...what a great way to connect with those, whom you have not seen in forever...good times)<br /><br />I'm not going to lie, when a very good looking guy pays any attention to me, I like it, especially, when this good looking guy reminds me of Michael Bublé, has a sexy, lazy country drawl and calls me "darlin" immediately. Since I knew him back in HS, my little red flags - to which I am finding are not in proper working order - did not pop up. Not even when he started making very inappropriate references to his body and working parts.<br /><br />My friends call me naive, but my best friends call me innocent and stupid. And I am stupid. My mother thought it would be funny to gift me the "Sex for Dummies" book after I graduated from HS. I read it, and then left it on my coffee table as a conversation starter. It's one thing to be book smart, but it's another to be street smart.<br /><br />Which am I? That's none of your business.<br /><br />Anywho.....the last time I wasted my time with Tampa, we pretty much agreed that neither of us were really interested in each other. I was looking for love and romance, and well...he was looking for sex and unattached one-night stands. The funniest thing was that he told me that it wasn't going to work out for us, and that we needed to go back to being ONLY platonic friends. Tampa and I were non platonic/platonic off and on throughout 2009, but I was kind of glad that we had come to a mutual agreement of sorts to end this thing - whatever it was.<br /><br />Texas, on the other hand, is a little bit more complicated. I met him on FB during an online game play. He was my opponent, and I was losing. Always wanting a fair fight, I messaged him on the chat link within the game and asked him for a rematch, since the game clearly did not like me. And he accepted. Again, we began playing, and again he began to beat me. This annoyed me emensly! So I messaged him a 2nd time requesting yet another rematch, which again he accepted. By our 3rd game, neither of us cared who was winning. We were messaging back and forth - I asked him, "Has anyone ever told you that you look like a specific person <specific>from a specific show<specific>? His reply, "No...LOL..." (Yes, yes, I hit on him. But his profile picture was HOT!)<br /><br />With FB, playing an online game against other FB opponents, usually means that you are not friends with them. There are some games that your friends can be part of your army, or clan, but this particular game only allows you to play strangers. Since neither of us wanted to end the converstation, we became friends on FB. (I am pretty sure he wanted to keep talking because he did search me out, not the other way around, but what do I know....nothing really.)<br /><br />Each time I would log on, I would look for him, and we'd chat and find things in common about ourselves. It was kind of scary how much we both liked the same things, movies, color, music...wait...he did think Ghostland Observatory was kind of weird...but whatever. I think we FB flirted a good two weeks. I was instantly hooked. Here was a hot, very good looking guy, who liked the same things as me, and who said I was beautiful - why wouldn't I fall for him?<br /><br />The things I didn't want to think about were the fact that a) he was not a Christian, b) he lived in Texas, and c) he had a girl friend.<br /><br />Here in lies the part where I am stupid! I thought that I could change his mind with charm and wit and hilariousness.....HA! He lives with her - did you know that? He also is in love with her too - except flirting with other girls is an okay practice. And the biggest kicker - they got engaged for Christmas.<br /><br />My bff told me last night, after he called me <strong>STUPID</strong>, "Rachel, Texas doesn't like you. He has what he needs and can have it anytime. You are not important to him, and he is really not your friend. And Tampa, he's just looking for one thing - sex. He's also not interested in you as a person, nor does he care about your feelings. You ought to dump them both."<br /><br />So...I have a decision to make - Do I stop being "friends" with both of these guys and delete them from my FB account? Do I stop accepting text messages from Tampa, and naughty pictures from Texas?<br /><br />A secret - I think I am more worried about hurting their feelings when I unfriend them, then I am about letting them play with my emotions. I am stupid. <br /><br />If they don't care about me, like my friends say, then why am I having such a hard time cutting the cord? I think it's because I am afraid that if I take a stand and say no more, then I will be left to stand alone. And my biggest fear is being alone.Ray Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410349197285828664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4867770593058471504.post-29676744758625702282010-01-20T16:47:00.000-05:002010-01-22T13:48:03.783-05:00Depression, Anger without energy & Plotting my deathMy mother suffers from depression. She's had it practically all my life. So I started to wonder if depression was hereditary.<br /><br />Most anyone who knows me would say that I am a relatively happy person, quirky and silly at times, and have my blonde moments; hardly ever sad. But everyone has a facade they hide behind.....<br /><br />I've had 2 emotional breakdowns in my life. The first was after my mom was hospitalized on a suicide watch for her depression. The second happened two weeks before I was to move out of my roommate's apartment and 3 emotionally/verbally abusive years too late.<br /><br />When I'm angry, upset, and/or sad, I tend to hermit myself and withdraw. But I don't think that I've inherited my mother's depression. I have issues with having dirty hair, so not showering/washing my hair is not an option. And my TV is in my living room, so when I'm tired of laying in bed, I usually get up and lie on the couch to watch TV, so staying in bed all day doesn't happen. And during the week, when I have to go to work, I get up and go. Outwardly, I look like a normal functioning person, but inside, I am counting down the minutes until I can leave and go back into my shell. And I may draw morbid and scary pictures, but I would never hurt myself, or contemplate suicide.<br /><br />However, now, I've got this new friend. He's the life of any party, but doesn't have to be the center of attention. He's always got something to do, but always makes time to hang out with me. And even when I'm feeling like my hermit crab tendencies are upon me, and I don't want to leave my house, or hang out with anyone - he calls, and I always go and hang out. It's like, he knows before I do, but doesn't say let on that he knows anything.<br /><br />I know what you're thinking.....I'm in love with him, right? Wrong. He is my best friend, and I totally heart him, but I'm not in love.....He's plotting my death as we speak.<br /><br />He's a pretty amazing friend. =)Ray Rayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410349197285828664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4867770593058471504.post-41515224465086954232010-01-19T17:00:00.000-05:002010-01-19T17:52:34.527-05:00Long, long ago...in this very blog site....<div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Yes, I know....it's been over a year, since I've last blogged, but I think I may stay a little longer this time.

Eeyore and Rosie are both very sweet dogs and for the most part are pretty laid back. Anywho, this past Sunday evening, I was cooking some rice on the stove for my office's potluck the next afternoon and set the oven timer to let me know when it was ready. Their oven timer sounds like a smoke detector going off, so I hurried to turn it off. In my haste, I caught the side of my left leg on their side table, and boy oh boy......it got me good. Sure, to the naked eye, one might say, "you should have been more careful where you were going," but those who really understand this type of thing will agree with me that lack of attention will cause furniture to attack!<br /><br />This is the table - yes, I know, it looks sweet and charming and innocent....with it's candy dish filled with yummy red and green M&M's....<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUB0TT_EZtDpWX2TyBqaQ1qbuq8PQmUDqQhLlEqaAu1ayQD3U-pgkpd7zJz0OAgapVX0m-nQ6XRmWog_Vh_PjZJchwq13uP_TbzJNU0RdyHPgSPywbKOZDcvJ2M-VPqXrrNwGxWf0wZ1fd/s1600-h/bruise+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272944430450558482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUB0TT_EZtDpWX2TyBqaQ1qbuq8PQmUDqQhLlEqaAu1ayQD3U-pgkpd7zJz0OAgapVX0m-nQ6XRmWog_Vh_PjZJchwq13uP_TbzJNU0RdyHPgSPywbKOZDcvJ2M-VPqXrrNwGxWf0wZ1fd/s320/bruise+002.jpg" border="0" /></a> But just look at it's sharp corner!

The reason I say "against" is because I do not get along well with Dachshunds. I used to dog sit for my karate instructors, who owned two male dachshunds. They drove me so crazy, that I retired from my dog sitting ways due to wanting to shove them in the oven.<br /><br />Mind you, I do not believe in being cruel to any animal, but these two dogs made my dig sitting days so difficult, that my desire for bodily harm increased each day I was there. The last day I had to be there, I left a note for Mark and Dawn letting them know that I was retiring, and left my key to their house under the mat. I vowed NEVER to dog sit again, especially that particular breed.<br /><br />Needless to say, when Melissa mentioned that she was freaking out about not having anyone responsible to watch her dogs, while she and Jeff were on vacation, little red flags started waving. I had met her dogs earlier, and while cute, they were still dachshunds - the breed that I will aways know as the "spawn of satan."<br /><br />I have come to the realization that I have a problem with saying no, and not feeling bad about it afterwards. I knew that I didn't have to offer, and I know she was uncomfortable to ask, since I had made it very clear of my dislike for the breed at a previous office potluck. But still, I heard myself say, "if you need someone to watch them, I will do it for you." WHAT??? Where the heck did that come from? She was a surprised as I was.<br /><br />Perhaps it was that I lived so close to her, or maybe it was because I could use the extra money, but I was really worried that the old ill feelings I had for this breed would come back again, and the desire to shove her dogs into the oven would come back again.<br /><br />Here are some pictures of her little darlings: Sabrett is the black one.

I've always like to draw. I doodle in meetings, draw on my jeans in high school, and leave little random drawings on one of my bestest "so money" friend's calendars. When Renee finally realized that I was the culprit, she began demanding pictures each week... I had a lot of fun trying new things. Lambo, Mad Cow & Undeliverable Turkey are my 3 most memorable items, but I thought I'd share some that I did on Facebook a couple of months back.<br /><br /><br /><br />I think this was my first one. I used to have the Graffiti application, and left this for Ben on his wall. We call Ben "Ben the Bear" 'cause he so grumpy and eats a lot. But he's a nice guy & makes funny puns.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250431259152933522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpsKbGGZQtR3zuOhkKEBi4YfJyeq_AbEdfHsk49VerolRqXS4160r2AP1_ayISgUAJE-19MK2b4aES8MWmYQt3HxNphjVGC8F_8k-5Cp3PW1uEe9Sv7uZOWQq3Z3wAxY68RHpMhyphenhyphen5vKJvA/s320/Ben+the+bear.png" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This one is of Merlin. He used to belong to a scary lady before my previous roommate absconded him and dragged him to the ghetto. On occasion, I would go over to the scary lady's house, and that's where I first met Merlin. He liked to get up on the table that the TV sat on and sit right in the middle to wash himself. He'd always be in the way.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250431907597996722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMALUyE0Qj0pZluFsKyXL7D85HY9cOyeNxoLjNBEVlGDiFLQQ3Ja3-vfPpXzAsIRqxd_wL6vsBk5x946Y7Il4Hr70uu41jU4fD5YThWmtGxmm91FGeQepzVSYVX6dFaZmaH5kN6IXthSS6/s320/Merlin.png" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This picture is a spoof on what really happened. Merlin loved my former roommie so much that he decided to bring him a gift. It was actually a small bird, but I thought a rhinoceros would be funnier because the crazy lady's house was full of junk, and trying to picture Merlin dragging this giant thing in without knocking over anything or waking the crazy lady up made me laugh.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250431906531385634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUZ4o2Xg-76RKlIR3ZmhUlvMw4nKJ5ZW139sM-FpRUMjwF7MNO6RXJkcSd9GGY7oLXlADK83IxZjBFVkOyMovzhgDjy6O2NvxJ8UtCssx1CXSnWn7wcDbJAkTNrdycK-sH48cKqmCZP-he/s320/rhino.png" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br />This was my attempt at drawing people.

Link to the person who tagged you.<br />2. Mention the rules on your blog.<br />3. Tell about six unspectacular quirks of yours.<br />4. Tag six fellow bloggers by linking them.<br />5. Leave a comment on each of the six blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.<br /><br />My personal Quirks:<br /><br />1. I like to plan things in advance. Like way in advance. I'm already planning a trip with my parents to visit my brother, sister-n-law & nephew this Christmas. This is how extreme I am. They just left my apartment this morning to fly back to NC, but fortunately, Tanya (my sister-n-law) is also a planner, and she's been planning us coming up for Christmas too.<br /><br />2. I like eating my french fries & cottage cheese with pepper.<br /><br />3. I don't like chocolate milk unless I make it myself. There's just something that grosses me out about pre-made chocolate milk. I like adding the chocolate syrup to my "moo juice".<br /><br />4. Every time I wear chap stick or lipstick, I instantly feel the need to wash my face. Something about the consistency/texture/moisture level totally makes me feel very gross, and I immediately want to wipe it off and wash my face. This is probably the reason why I don't like wearing makeup.<br /><br />5. I can't stand it when the cap to the toothpaste is left off/open. The paste inside gets all hard and crusty, and I know I don't want to have to clean my teeth with that. GROSS! It's not that hard people!<br /><br />6. I have to steal this last one from Laura. I do the same thing in my closet. I have to have all the clothes in my closet organized by color and item. I have a pants section that is organized by color, a dress section that is organized by color and so on....<br /><br />...I also don't know 6 people that blog regularly, so I also am going to break the last two rules and make it 3 people. However, if you read my blog and would like to tag yourself for me, please feel free.<br /><br />I tag <a href="http://labellecookie.blogspot.com/">Melissa</a>, <a href="http://misscaron.blogspot.com/">Caron</a> and <a href="http://nursehand.blogspot.com/">Sissy</a> .

Sorry...wrong show. <br /><br />This is/was/will always be in my heart, Merlin. He was forced to move to the ghetto and is most likely traumatized, as I would be. I'll probably never see him again, but for a short while I lived with him, and he was My Love. I renamed him Merlie Moo, Moo Moo, Boo Boo and eventually settled on My Love. I have never met a more affectionate, yellow eyed, all black, soft kitty before, but he was so sweet. I miss you Moo Moo. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBQygKvTT18-fyBSfBYVo3da_-VUzet_mY5oD5Q_uzlNnV1tIEIM0qgeqMPU5eNy2dB6LaO82An18qYy8W7PZyW_9z6uAazAvMk9hLgqfvWHhD6mTpqi9j7Z9SYl4rk52V86VanL2G0hoT/s1600-h/P1010002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244888063671816514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBQygKvTT18-fyBSfBYVo3da_-VUzet_mY5oD5Q_uzlNnV1tIEIM0qgeqMPU5eNy2dB6LaO82An18qYy8W7PZyW_9z6uAazAvMk9hLgqfvWHhD6mTpqi9j7Z9SYl4rk52V86VanL2G0hoT/s320/P1010002.JPG" border="0" /></a> There he is lying on my then recently dismantled bed in my then box cluttered bedroom. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGucEYiVdhRFvBmm7UmJLJEJMOdM7QEPFL7tfGSDlPWPFytmIOUDLTOt7yphQyyqyi2Sg0dTAGW66yuCh12QSvJ8emaodd2xLSgfOBLAQPOPnPDBZNAXLuKMyaN8H1R9YEfJI4PSENg9hB/s1600-h/P1010003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244888068113710642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGucEYiVdhRFvBmm7UmJLJEJMOdM7QEPFL7tfGSDlPWPFytmIOUDLTOt7yphQyyqyi2Sg0dTAGW66yuCh12QSvJ8emaodd2xLSgfOBLAQPOPnPDBZNAXLuKMyaN8H1R9YEfJI4PSENg9hB/s320/P1010003.JPG" border="0" /></a> This is my version of a panoramic shot.

Yep. Tomorrow morning, actually. I'm excited and nervous; anxious and happy, but most of all....this move means that Ray Ray's Cafe will finally be open. No more sharing the fridge, no more worrying about if my food has been eaten, and no more clutter. Last year, I moved 3 times within 3 months of each other. It was horrible, and it took forever. This time, I was given lots of boxes, hired movers to do all the heavy lifting and had everything packed - all of my stuff - days before the actual move. <div><div><br /><div>I'm leaving work around 4pm today to pick up my keys, do the walk through & sign the lease. Then I'm driving to my friend's house to pick up the things I have stored in her spare bedroom, and then the both of us are going to Wally world to pick up the essentials....toilet paper, paper towels, lysol...etc. </div><br /><div>Tomorrow morning the movers will be at my place between 9 & 10, Caron's coming over around 8:30 I think.
