I can't wait until March so I can get those damned x-rays done to see if I'll finally be able to get my adjustable bed. I hope I'll at least have some relief on Thanksgiving Day...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636694Well, the tail feathers are coming along nicely. I've been painting since a few minutes past noon, and the result is some very interesting colour patterns. Now that I've had a better look at them myself, they don't look bad at all! The only problem is, I'm not certain the turkeys will be finished...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636673Well, I've had my dose of CHARLIE AND LOLA for this morning, so now it's time to paint, paint, paint! I'm now working on the backs of their tail feathers. I wanted to paint over some of it, but Roommie and a friend said they like the shades of light between the dark, so I'll leave it just the way...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636662THERE’S A BABY IN OUR STABLE! One night long, long ago, in the little town of Bethlehem, a strange star lit up the sky. Eight-year-old Isabella stared at the star as Mama helped her get ready for bed. “Stop fidgeting, little one,” Mama scolded gently. “I’m almost finished!” But Isabella could not...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636639I'm sat just beside one of the sitting room windows, and the skies are dark and gloomy this morning. a good day for writing and painting! I may even read a bit later on. Roommie's gone out for a couple of hours, so I'm here on my own. Just a short update on Dad. He's now home from hospital. They...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636538Hi everyone... This is one Monday I wish would just disappear! It took me forever to get in and out of the shower, and as a result, I haven't had a chance to do anything I wanted to. I hate days like that! Ah, well. I feel (and smell) a lot better now and I'm hungry! We're having eggs, left over...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636524Hi everyone... Thank you all so very much for your prayers. I appreciate them very much. He's still in hospital so far as I know at this point, but I'm sure Mum will le a t me know if he's been released at some point. If he has to stay in I'll let you all know that as well, of course. For the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636440Hi gang.... Sadly, this may be my last entry again for a while. Part of my unsettled feeling has at last reared its ugly head. I just got off the phone with Mum, and... My poor Dad is in hospital again. I'm not sure when it happened because bless my poor Mum, she's been so frazzled with...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636411My strange feeling has yet to evade me. I honestly don't know what's set me off this time, but there's still something that doesn't feel right to me. Whatever it is that's going to happen, I just wish it would happen already! I seem to be the most fidgety at night. Its been really bad the last...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636406Well, actually, it's just a bit past twelve thirty in the afternoon here. Roommie and I slept in late again! What naughty little girls we are!... We don't bother with much work on Sundays. We usually just watch our Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood and then do whatever we feel like doing...if...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636324I've just done a bit more Christmas shopping at amazon and another website, lakeside. I'm so happy! I bought another Christmas movie for Roommie and I at amazon, as well as a music CD and a gag gift for Mum. I have to give this one to her early, but I'm looking forward to it. At lakeside, I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636323So, we've had our lunch, and I'm so stuffed I can barely move! In a minute, I'm off to amazon and one other site to have a look round. There will definetly be a few purchases made. I've decided to worry about the bills later. They'll be paid in due time. I want to do some more shopping first....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636315Well, the shower has been had, and I feel tons better!

I know my story writing has gone a bit slack over the past couple of days, but sadly it couldn't be helped. I will do my very bestest to try and post a bit more of Isabella's story today, but it may not be until some time this evening. I have so much to do today!...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636233Roommie and I just had a really interesting dinner. Apples and cinnamon wrapped in pastry dough, and maple flavoured bacon. This isn't the first time we've eaten breakfast for dinner, and you can bet your boots it won't be the last! I've always liked eating breakfast foods for dinner, even when I...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636223Hi gang...

I wasn't much interested to look at it at...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/ladymonks_message/636124Hello gang... I meant to post more today, but once more I'm tired.
