Catching Up

I know, apologies again for taking so long to update the blog, although it's not my fault this time.  This time it's Nancy's fault.  Nancy is a classmate of mine and she sent me an email inviting me to "check out my Facebook page!"  So I wanted to be nice and went to check out her page.  Little did I know, that in order to "check out" her page, I had to give all this information.  Sooooooo, I did it.  Next thing I know - I have a Facebook page!!  Let me tell, ya - that thing is a lot of work and is close to impossible to navigate.  But it is cool hearing from old classmates and getting back in touch.  I've spent so much time trying to figure it out that Doug is currently looking to stage an intervention.  I'm still confused with it.

My next project is to figure out LinkedIn.  Who has this kind of time??

I went in to the City with our designer Susan on Tuesday.  We went to Chelsea Arts Tile & Stone to pick out the floors for the renovation.  Our architect, the Wizard, had recommended them and I thought that it would be stupid expensive, but the selection is fabulous, the customer service is unbelieveable and tile is REALLY reasonable!  I highly recommend them, especially if you're looking for something other than Travertine, Carerra, etc.  They do have a wonderful selection of that as well, but I want something that looks old and doesn't look like it belongs in Manalapan with a big fountain in the entry.  (you know what I'm talkin' about!)  Oh and ask for David.

Here's a picture of what we've selected so far.  The middle stone is a marble and we're going to use it in the kitchen.  The other 2 patterns are going to be used in the 2 new entries as an inlaid pattern with the plain marble being used as an edge.  Then again, we haven't ordered it yet, so it is subject to change.  <LOL>

  Sophie is doing much better.  We're learning that she cycles and around Friday, her stomach starts to act up and she eventually vomits out the poison that her kidneys can't filter out.  The diet that our neighbor Cathy (the Cat Whisperer) recommended has really made a difference.  I wish I had spoken with her earlier and not listened to our vet.  There's a lot to be said for adjusting the diet and getting rid of all the pills.  I don't know how much she weighs, but she looks like she put a little on.  She's also walking much better & is negotiating the stairs again.

I didn't get a chance to update this in time to let you know that I filled in for Spencer yesterday - sorry.  I can tell you that I'll be back on America's Voices on Sunday on the Fox News Channel.  Again, that's not your local TV affiliate.  You get it via cable or satellite.  It's the station that airs Hannity & Colmes, Shepherd Smith, Greta van Sustern, Bill O'Reilly, etc.  The segment airs at approx. 4:20pm eastern time and runs anywhere from 4 to 7 minutes.

Lastly HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Gerard - Doug's cousin and a fellow Scorpion.  Doug is treating me to dinner at the Little Kraut in Red Bank tomorrow for my birthday.  So early HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me.  :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
