Cottage, you're getting to be as busy as Ms.
Ruth!
(speaking of which...where is she?
) The gardens sound fantastic! We had gallons and buckets of rain all night long and now everything looks like a big pond.
Oh well...at least it's not snow, right?
Have a great image of you sniffing the people at your house while the watch Survivor,
Cat!
I hope they showered before! Your gift sounds fantastic...I envy the birthday couple! Hope work flies by. Your T-day prep sounds exhausting, but I bet you have an amazing meal!
Good idea,
Schmoodle, with the scale! My friends in my Mood and Food group were trying to persuade me last week that I'm too attached to my scale and should stop weighing. I only weigh in once in the morning each day and then forget about it after that--which I don't think is excessive--but they think it's bad that I can feel sad if it's up or excited if it's down.
I hope it works well for you!
No matter what, I'm sure it'll be exciting! I'm so glad the banquet was a success!
LC, you always make me smile!
Thanks, chick!
The pic is beautiful and I loved the cartoon...even the rabbit noses on the slippers are twitching!
I hope you have a fabulous day and find something super-easy to make for dinner. What about mini pizzas on WW pitas with a side of frozen veggies or a salad?
Gonnabe!
Oh,
Pacer, that's awful!
I hope the repair people are there very soon...you're not kidding about that load!
I have one of those too and it's just about a year old as well. Never thought of that issue. I'll be sending lots of prayers and good vibes your way. You're due for a healthy dose of good karma, girl!
As for the painting...we're having a small scandal here in town too. A local insurance provider decided to put a sign in his window that says, "Save our kids: Say No to same-sex marriage"
It makes me so sad! It's not so much the sign...this guy thinks he's just doing the right thing, I guess (Grrr....), but the implication that allowing same-sex couple to marry will somehow hurt kids is just over the top.
Our little local newspaper has online forums where people can discuss the latest news articles and there are over 8 pages of comments...most of which are full of anger and hate.
It makes me so unhappy! Anyways, I hope things blow over, over there, Pacer. I can see how the nudity might make people uncomfortable in terms of kids and all. (On the other hand, I grew up going to art museums with my family and saw lots of nudes without any effect. I don't think any of them were male, though. For some reason, that seems more shocking...I think just because we're not used to it.
) Either way, no reason why he can't put the painting up in his own home and enjoy it there, right?
Me:
Got to the gym last night but all the newer treadmills were all in use, so I had to use an older one. It never showed the time, but did make changes periodically in speed, so I think it was doing something, but it didn't make changes in incline, so I'm not sure how much of a workout I got!
I did a lot of sweating trying to keep up with the speed of the belt, but...
Oh well...
Not too much on the plate tonight, but this is my long day. After work I go to my literacy volunteer time and then to the gym. Won't get home until 6 or so. It's worth it to have tomorrow off, though. I have so much to do for the holidays!
Have a great day, chickies!
