Hey Kids,
Lovely weekend-after the storm yesterday. Went to dinner and a movie with my girl friend. We were the only one’s there with out a date-there were like 4 couples in the theater-so I asked her if we should hold hands. She laughed.
Went to a baby shower for my former asst managers daughter. I sat with some of her friends-all much older than me but I laughed so hard I almost wet myself! The one lady was talking about raising her kids and was commenting on modern parenting. "Time out my *ss-Times UP!" She says she has no problems when the grand kids are over. They are well behaved around her!
The subject of gambling came up. The state is going to allow 5 more, one in Chicago proper. I know that one of the ladies I sat with is a "player". One lady mentioned to me "oh, you had a problem with that." I told her yes and I don’ t gamble any more, it just doesn’t pay. Guess my friend must have told my secret. Oh well to be truthful I always wondered how I would handle something like that and I sailed right through it. I wasn’t embarrassed or ashamed even though I was "outed" at a table of 8 other women. I know I am disappointed my friend told someone something I said in confidence but I am glad I never told her the details.
Geordie if I gave you a piece of advice that helped I am glad. I am also sure I learned it from another cg, just like us.
Such a beautiful day. I should have done something after the shower but I just relaxed in my chair. I am so tired these days.
Have a great week!
peace
