Okay, my sister is going through the ringer at the moment, my dad is ill and I'm stressed..... (te he he)
 
So what I did was go shopping... I found two gifts for her that I am express posting today.

The first is from the Kitsch Company ~ Pin up girl coasters.. each with a witty line for the gregariously sexy chic....
 
The second? well another Kitsch company number - its a white frilly apron with the following saying on it.
 
     STRESSED SPELLED BACKWARDS IS DESSERTS
 
                                                             COINCEDENCE? I THINK NOT!
 

There are two lovely ladies... one holding a cake towards the other who has a wicked smile on her face.

 

Hopefully my sister will wear it and it alone one evening, while she skulls scotch, warms up her pot of wax (thank you fraggles for reminding me of sis's private habits) and screams blue murder at her children who aren't actually there.

When in moods of doubt or sadness, focus on someone elses discomfort.. I'm going to call her after I call my dad who, hopefully is better than I think he is.

    Gotcha - what are the chances of u and i being online at the same time ? Considering you are a gazillion miles away from me and about half a day a head?
    I do hope that your Dad is ok.Can you let me know?
    I really have been through a mountain of shit this year.I am just waiting for the oppurtunity to put it behind me
  • uniquely-ironic said on Nov 20, 2008....
    retail therapy.  Good idea!  You'll have to let me know how the call goes.  Remember, it's a process, not instant gratification.
  • diabolicdame said on Nov 20, 2008....
    Oh that is so not a coincidence!! Its a conspiracy!!! And I hope your dad's doing better! Keep us updated!
  • pusscat said on Nov 21, 2008....
    Hmmmm. . . . an apron and nothing else. . . I'm getting ideas here ;-)

    I do hope your dad starts to improve - don't matter how old we are, our dad's are just so important to us little girls.

    What you say about when in moods of doubt and sadness?  I will now ALWAYS think of fraggles, a microwave and wax ha ha!
  • fragglesrock said on Nov 21, 2008....

    i hop your dad is feeling better....i'm sure your sis is going to appreciate those gifts so much.  you know lucy, you so have a point about concentrating on someone else's discomfort, it does the spirit good. it's the little things in life that keep us putting one foot in front of the other :)

    i hope your dad feels better lu.
  • mobil said on Nov 21, 2008....
    I haven't a clue about anything you said other than your dad being sick.......so I'll just say I hope he gets to feeling better.........he's just a kid you know?
  • Lucytorial said on Nov 21, 2008....
    CJ ~ I missed ya, had to run when I posted this te hehe
     
    Uni ~ Well he isn't good but better than I thought, his blood pressure is uncontrollable and his symptoms are that of a brain tumor, they can't find it.  They know his immune system is behaving the same way as cancer, including his headaches, mood swings (emotional) his frustratin and lack of concentration.  Time will tell but he enjoyed the convo, he liked to hear I'm doing well.
     
    DB ~ I just thought it was a little fun you know..... don't get stressed get fat!
     
    Puss ~ Glad to have inspired you a little :-P
     
    Fraggles ~ Its true, I felt better for calling my dad and being happy with him, I felt better for trying to bring a smile to my sis's face.
     
    Yani ~ WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!!! waaaa how are you girl.... so nice to see you again far out what a neat surprise!
     
    Trav ~ Thanks, its life you know, getting old...
     
    Mobil ~ Dads over 60, he is young, its a shame he is not well and most likely won't live to see 70 let alone 80.  I feel bad he has worked his life away and just when he wished to retire he cannot, he lost his super (retirement fund) or a major chunk of it from the US crash.  He can't afford to retire now as well as being ill.  Sucks.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Nov 21, 2008....
    Good!  I'm glad your call went reasonably well.  I'm sure it helps him.  As for the symptoms and missing tumor, encourage him to keep at it until they find the tumor or other answer positively.
  • travelr712 said on Nov 21, 2008....
    was that a veiled jab about my age lu? :-P you're right, it's part of life. just wanted you to know i'm here for you if you need me.
  • Lucytorial said on Nov 21, 2008....
    Uni ~ Yours and hubby's advice was perfect, he really likes hearing one of his daughters is doing okay, happy and in control.  He talked, to me, not just answerng questions and I feel its going to be easier next time to talk more and deeper.
     
    Trav ~ No... silly bugger.  I know you're there for me Trav, I like having another males perspective it helps.  old?? you aint old.. mobil's old... mobils the same age as my dad I think.
  • wombat said on Nov 21, 2008....

    Interesting that the word stressed is desserts backwards---I'd never have noticed that in my entire lifetime, I don't imagine.

    Anyway, I'm sorry to hear the bad deal your Dad got on his retirement, and that he is not in the best of health.

  • Lucytorial said on Nov 21, 2008....
    Its not great Wombie but it is life, there isn't much he can do about that.  As for his health, a curve ball I'd prefer to not focus on.
  • bluegum said on Nov 21, 2008....
    hi lucy ,hope your dad 's ok and your gifts put a smile on your sister's face. fraggles waxing one of the best laughs for a long time.lol. blue.
  • pusscat said on Nov 21, 2008....
    Hey bluegum - what happened on your profile!?  Now it just says '.'  You ok?
  • Lucytorial said on Nov 21, 2008....
    There is no way anyone could beat that Bluey...
     
    Dad's kind of okay, as I am reminded every day, every child must go through this part of life, sooner or later our parents pass away and we are never ready for that... I still felt ten foot tall and imortal.. turns out that life catches up with each of us.
  • fragglesrock said on Nov 21, 2008....
    lucy - my hearts there with ya.  i lost my dad at the age of 22 and i know it's no easier no matter what age you are (not goin' for sympathy, i'm fine, just wanting u to know i been there)

    yeah, i don't know what the frick that means either
  • fragglesrock said on Nov 21, 2008....
    it was gettin ugly, i was accidentally facebooking about my hemerhoids, addressing my friend on the phone as "you bitch hottips", e-mailing the electric bill company a picture of my ass....you get the idea, multi tasking + fraggles = bad scene.
  • RollingC said on Nov 21, 2008....
    I hope your dad is feeling better and I will keep him, your sister and you in my prayers.
    I lost my dad unexpectedly and I know the pain that one goes through losing a loved one.
