WEEKEND 2/8- 2/10

HAPPY EARLY VALENTINES DAY!

Weekend going well, arrived Friday, house was immaculate, Jean taking her mid morning nap and Bill almost there too. Ruth had Bill showered and shaved. Joan arrived around 11 with appraisers, Jean slept through it all. They left after about 30 minutes. Jeans candles arrived, she was quite pleased, placed a few around that she picked, and hid the rest in the candle closet. She really wants the fresh cut roses one to burn in Bill's batrhoom, but hes not too keen on the whole candle scene.

330, showered Jean and got her ready, we used all the new make up she bought at sephora, and in the shower used the hair treatments and scrubs, then lotioned her up with her new lotions. Despite the extensive make up she bought she indicated she forgot to buy face creams from Estee ... that led to a "I could call Cookie and maybe she and I can go buy a jar of cream." apparently Jean doesnt remeber the 1000.00 dollar Estee shopping about a year ago, where only 250.00 of it actually made it back to Jeans counter. I suggested she tell me what she needs from her myriad of pages torn from Macy's, Dillards etc. I cut it down to half as Ruth did at Sephora, and ordered it online, I figured it will save a Macy's trip with Crookie... (that typo was intentional) anyway.. It should arrive around the 14th or before so maybe we can intergrate it into a Valentines day gift too? Some of her requests were ludacrist.. blemish control lotion????

I also ordered, See's candy, from their website, only because Jean insists that it taste different as it comes from California and the one here they have to add too many ingredients. Well see its very hokie vday ish. Per Bills request I too ordered Roses, a gardenia plant (he wanted gardenias that he used to buy when they dated, but I could only get a plant) and a cyclamen Jean wanted.

So Jean has Estee, flowers and some other gifts that she picked out from magazines, that she said can too be part of her Bday. She wants to take Bill to V's barbershop for valentines day and get him cleaned up.

Bill did okay at dinner, he struggled bad to get to the bathroom at Un Baccio, as its far from the table and all the chairs are tall wine chairs so if he had to sit, it would be like trying to get him on a bar stool. I was scared at one point that he was gonna go down, ps in case anyone ever feels that way with Bill, the BEST thing to do.. is grab his back belt, and knee under his groin from behind, and safely slid him to the ground. You CANNOT break his fall he is much bigger than us and he is "dead weight" so to speak, it would be impossible for any of us to break his fall and not sustain a slipped disc.

PS. Some cranky Jay electrician. Popped over Friday, he just ran down the house, flew open the gate and started tooling around with the box by the hose. I went out and said Uh can I help you? without even turning around he said "Jay sent me, im fixing the lights" I said oh im sorry you startled me, the gate house never called and said anyone is coming. he responded " well Jay sent me, you want em fixed or not?!" I was like OMG you pricky bastard! I told him welll yeah we want them fix.. BUT JAY DOES NOT LIVE HERE> I called Howard who gave me the same line of OH Jay sent him. me cave man.. I reiterated to Howard I know Jay sent him,, but we need a courteous call. He said he would do it next time. Speaking of Jay Im so glad my shift doesnt fall on his. Really what does he do? cant we just hire Jaime? He does all the work.

Enough ranting, Bill and Jean doing great, we are gonna try to call Amanda, Jean upset we havent seen them. She had me drive past her house and said " well why in the world is there a for sale sign there" I told her maybe its for a house at the end of the street. So we will try to give her a buzz to say hi.
