Good morning,
Lynn, I've been late a few times when I was suppose to pick up Crystal. When I'd take her to the store, I'd come home and have her call me on the cell phone. One time, I forgot the ringers were shut off on our home phones. She finally got a hold of her sister who took her home, but she'd left her apartment key in my car, so they had to come back here to get it. I felt so bad. Another time, I was out feeding the birds. Should have taken the cordless with me, but didn't expect her to be done that quick. So, when she got groceries by herself the first time, she said it was so nice, not to have to worry if she was going to get a hold of me or not
(2 times in 5 years, gee). I guess I do understand that though and I know she is just thrilled to be able to come and go as she wants to. She is still buzzing all over the place like a baby bird that just learned how to fly. She thanks DH and me every time she talks to us and hugs us both a lot.
I've been keeping track of how we spend our money, except for what DH spends. I give him a certain amount for gas and a truck fund (none of the truck fund money ever ends up in the truck either). The rest I know where it goes. I spend $30 a month on coffee from McDonalds myself. I've found out that different McD's have different kinds of coffee. The one in our town has extra good coffee. When we were on our little trip, I stopped to get coffee at their McD's and it was so bad, I couldn't even drink it.
I go there after I've done all my stuff for the day. It's my reward. I feel like it's money well spent. I use to spend a lot more on other things that weren't at all healthy for me. Not that coffee is health food, but it's better than going to the casino, the bar or eating a bunch of fast food.
Anne, your doing great with your weight loss
Even though your under a lot of pressure, your still holding strong and I am so proud of you
We must be about the same weight now. Remember not too long ago, you were telling me how much more you weighed than me. I better get on the ball, your going to pass me by
I sure hope things are better for you at work this week, but I suppose things won't be too much better until the take over is done with. That should be within the month, shouldn't it?
Ali, is your bad weather over with? We got some cold air coming down from Canada. Nothing like what Lynn and Anne have to deal with. It's just in the 20's and windy. Still, it's a big difference from the mid 50's we were just enjoying. This time of year, you never know what will happen.
I was looking out at the squirrel feeders yesterday and I told DH that they are all over weight. This one was sitting in the food bowl and his big butt was hanging over the sides.
guess it's all the sunflower seeds and corn I feed them. I will have to stop feeding them when spring is in full swing. There are 6 of them out there now. If I forget to put out their feed, they run around the rails of the front porch, sit on the back of the chairs out there and actually look in the windows. The cats go nuts.
Got to go give Leslie a run for her money. Wish that Walk Blaster would come already. Nikki
