Good Morning Ladies!
Well, WI was a bit disapointing today, lost not an ounce! But I'm not too upset or surprized. Although food has been pretty good this week, exercise was down a tad from the week before and water has been bad as well. And, after 37 days I'm finally feeling a bit PMS-ish and can tell I've got some water retention going on. I suspect I'll show a loss next week.
On the up side, I'm wearing my size 20, non-stretch jeans today!
They feel SOOO tight sitting down! But they aren't really, I know. They fit just fine standing up and the two people I've asked have said they don't look tight at all, standing up. I guess I've gotten so used to wearing baggy 24's with lycra that normal jeans just feel weird!
Glad I wore them though, because we've just gotten word that, Our Beloved Governor has declared a new dress code for state employees. Yes, as of last year the average state workers pay ranked 49th in the nation, but apparently we have to at least look like we're well-paid.
No more casual Fridays for us and even if casual Fridays are allowed, no jeans, ever. Now, as an attorney, I've always had to wear skirts so it's not that big of a deal for me, but I know Social Services workers who literally don't own anything else and will have to buy new clothes! Yeah, I know I'm ranting
...but please, "It costs the state NOTHING and improves morale, so let's get rid of it!" What kind of thinking is that?
Okay,
deep breath I can do nothing at all about it...like most of what I put up with here, but the private sector is looking better all the time.
Leanne: You box up some of that snow and send it here! Every little bit of cool helps!
Ruth: Yes, I hate eating that late. I'm usually pretty hungry by 5. By 7 the growling has stopped and by 8 I'm almost out of the mood to eat...but BOY do I get crabby! I never knew I did until I was working for a law firm in the early 90's and went on a trip with the Sr. partner. When we got back he made a remark to someone at lunch time that we needed to get lunch because I'd get mean if he didn't feed me!
Embarassing, but I never had to worry about him letting me take lunch breaks!
Terri: I just love horses, and know nearly nothing about them. Hope yours is doing better.
Well, I'm looking forward to LOTS of updates from EVERYONE! Lets hear it!
Onward and Downward Ladies!
