Morning Seminar and Afternoon Cleaning

This morning I attended a seminar at a fancy hotel. There were about 60 people there, and the lawyers who spoke were looking for customers . Their presentation was too complex for me, but it is always fun to visit this luxurious hotel.

I hope to send the handouts to my son in New York. Then I started to weed out books I no longer need. I will give them away to friends and to charity. I love to read, but my house does not have much room to store lots of books.

Fancy Nancy Says: Share your good books with others. They will enjoy reading them . Why not!

Errands. Appointments, and Nice Nap

This morning was early blood work, several medical apts and errands. Then I had booked a massage, but they canceled. That was okay since it gave me time to market. At last time for a wonderful time to rest and relax.

I am reading a very funny book by Erma Brombeck. She has died, but her books live on. She had a marvelous gift of humor. The title of the book is WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR PASSPORT, IT IS TIME TO GO HOME.

The books includes lots of laughs, so if you want a fun read, try it.


Fancy Nancy Says: Reading can take you any where you want to go. You don't even have to leave your home.

Fun Class and Tennis Party

Today I had a fun class. Only two students, but that is okay. Then I had some time do a little line dancing. The dancing class is next door to my teaching, so when the class is over, I can dance next door.

Next I went to the library and they have a wonderful room where they sell books they no longer want. The prices are great so I bought lot of books. I love to read and I donate the books after I have finished reading them.

At night we had a fun tennis party. I have hearing issues, so large groups all talking at once can be tough. I found a nice table and sat down with several ladies and that worked much better for my hearing needs.

Fancy Nancy Says: If you have special needs, try to accommodate them!

Cell Phone Remedy

Today after having a nice lunch with a student, I got information on how to make my cell phone work. I bought it from Verizon and when I was unable to make any calls, I went back to the store and they showed me that I have to push the word End to begin. I don't know why they didn't write the word begin. So much for common sense.

Fancy Nancy Says: You sometmes need an engineer to operate all this new cyber equipment. I am not an engineer.

A Visit With A Cousin in Palm Beach Gardens

We had a wonderful visit with a cousin who have not seen in many years. He is reaching 90 and looks about 70 years old. He and his wife live in a maginficent area in Palm Beach Gardens , Florida.

We had never seen the area before, but it looked like the places you would read about in House Beautiful magazines. It was fun connecting and I was happy to see him and his wife looking great for their age. He is a lovely man and enjoys helping others. He is very well liked in the community where he now lives full time.

Fancy Nancy Says: Connecting with family is important. Take the time to enjoy your family.

Mapquest Will Not Print

I have been on mapquest trying to get it print out directions. I have no idea why the directions will not print. I have aol and they do have lots of problems.

Today the exterminator came to get rid of some unwanted little friends. I am not very good with anything that crawls. Then it was time for a lovely massage and a visit to my favorite LA Fitness.

I enjoy the facility and I play some racquetball by myself , use some of the machines and have fun talking to new people. Life can be interesting.

Fancy Nancy Says: Try something new, it is always an adventure.

Taxes Can Be A Full Time Job!

Taxes this year have consumed a tremdous amount of my time. Someone has compromised my social secuirity number, so I have to do many new things as a result.

In the meantime, I have started to teach a new program that will help others. It is called "Fight Back Against Identity Theft". We can all be vicitms , so we must all protect ourselves.

Tonight I will take a nice swim.

Fancy Nancy Says: Exercise helps us relax.

A Roller Coaster Day

Today Fancy Nancy met with a skin doctor,and I Wed. I may have to have more biopsies. Not fun, but needed.

The good news was I was hired by a facility to teach more courses next year and they even gave me a wonderful lunch for free. I always like a place with a great lunch.

Tonight our condo voted in a new expensive driveway . I say no, but I lost. That means extra costs on condo dues.

Fancy Nancy Says: There are some days that include good times and not so good times. Hang loose Fancy Nancy!

Meeting Was Fun But Disappointting

I invited 5 couples to join me at my condo for a new group called Significant Other Solutions. I thought the idea was to share solutions for issues that we all deal with.

Out of the 5 couples only one arrived. Today many canceled and after the meeting I got an E-mail for one couple that left for up north. We had prepared a lovely table of food and not one thing was eaten.

The meeting with the one couples was interesting, but I am disappointed that with two of the new groups I have started, it is tough to get couples to show up or take a meeting.

I wonder sometimes if working isn't easier than doing volunteer projects.

Fancy Nancy Says: Even when you try something new, it does not always work out.

Fun Lunch At Aston Gardens

Today I had lunch at Aston Gardens a senior facility. I am meeting with them again on Monday to see if I can offer them some of my fun programs that I teach.

I enjoyed seeing the facility, and the lunch was excellent. The two sample apartments were nicer than I expected. I also liked meeting a 94 year old man who lives there. It is amazing to meet folks who age so well.

Fancy Nancy Says: By meeting super seniors you can learn a lot from them.

Interesting Meeting To Plan Courses

I met this morning with one of my bosses to review new courses for next season. It was a postive meeting and I learned what he is looking for.
Next, I had a lovely lunch with a dear friend then on to a wonderful nap and swim. A productive day for Fancy Nancy.

Fancy Nancy Says: It pays to periodically meet with you boss to find out what he is looking for. Then you can try to fill the need.

Another Full Day

Today after a morning meeting I was invited to a lovely luncheon in Naples from my high school. There were about 30 people from the area that attended and my neighbor in Naples was there as well. She is thinking of selling her place in Naples since it is getting to costly to run it.

Then on to the bank to learn how to use my new Identity Theft Insurance which the bank now gives free of charge. The problem is setting up the account. After 45 minutes , the girl at the bank has started to set it up.

We have not finished the job, but boy have I learned about Identity Theft. I will do seminars on it, since most folks have not idea what to do. I think I am on to my new career.

Fancy Nancy Says: When bad things happen, make them work for you.

Banks Now Have Identity Theft Insurance

Today the bank offered me a free insurance policy for identity theft. I will try it , nothing to lose. I am still working on the issue, but every day I do a little bit more.

Had new tires put on my car for safety reasons. We have a long ride up north, so I wanted to make sure my tires would hold out. I needed new tires.

Enjoyed a fun trip to our bargain shop at Good Will. Got some great books as well.

Fancy Nancy Says: You never know what you will find at Good Will.

Fancy Nancy Enjoyed the Movie Club Meeting Today.

Today we met with our movie club group. We meet once a month to discuss a movie that we all have seen. I previewed the assigned movie , but I chose to skip it since it looked very depressing. The movie called Separation won an award for a foreign film, but it was not a fun movie.

Still working on tax issues. Tomorrow we have to return the loaner car that they gave us while they put new tires on my car. It seems there are always errands to do.

Fancy Nancy Says: You will never run out of errands.

New Hope for Stomach

Well, I started taking my acid reducer two times a day and so far I am feeling much better. Hope it continues. Today I had a class but no students, so I caught up with paperwork to finish up my tax issues.

I think I will have a new set of seminars soon since dealing with fraud and scams can hit anyone.

Fancy Nancy Says: You have to make lemonade out of the lemons you get in life. I try to do just that!

Fancy Nancy Feeling Stomach Bug

Lately Fancy Nancy has not been hungry. My guess is she has a stomach bug. When she does not want to eat, that is not normal for her.

She will see someone this week to see if it is a bug or if she needs tests. Time will tell.

Fancy Nancy Says: She will lose weight not eating. That is the only good part.
