Morning everybody. Yawnerz.
Ruthie - My mom always complains that the dogs get her up in the wee hours of the morning. With Oscar and Sophie though, I've learned that if you pretend to still be sleeping, they stop asking "Sumptin ta EAT? Gotta go OUT? Who wants a TREAT? Time to get UP? Go for a WALK? Ride in the CAR?" and finally go "...... no?" and lay their heads back down. It seems that they have my mom trained.
Jan - Glad the sun is shining where you are! Enjoy your day!!!!
Fluffy - Glad your ickiepoohs are gone! Sounds like you're stoked about seeing your hunny! Have fun!
Cottage - Enjoy your day with the grandkiddos!
Cyndi - I will be there in spirit. No wine yet. I've been STRICT!!!! Enjoy the nice day!
Meelsie - Hope you enjoy your peppermint tea!
Twynn - Myrtle? And you can call her Myrt or Myrtie. Aw. What a cute name!
As for me, I'd like to reiterate that the Better Than Real Meatloaf was VERY good for fake meatloaf! I look forward to having leftovers today and tomorrow (I made 3 servings out of it instead of 4.) Going to the store tomorrow probably to get stuff to make the Cooking Light Broccoli Cheese Soup. Yummo!
It appears that the sun may come out in time for Halloween, not that I'm doing anything really. Chris' daughter doesn't even want to go trick or treating. Instead she wants to dress up and pass out candy to the kids. Hopefully I'll get to see her this weekend. Ice Age 3 came out. Don't know if she's seen it yet but I haven't and LOVE Scrat!
My allergies are still present but not awful. Chris, however, has been miserable. I think he's just stuffy today, so hopefully he's starting to kick them. I was worried about him last night because he got off work at 2:30 and was gonna take a nap, so I waited to text him until like 6. Tried checking in with him a couple of times before I went to bed, and heard nothing. I was like..... uuuum..... text me when you get these so I know you're ok? Got a text back at like 11:40. He fell asleep around 6 and just got up. Then he went back to sleep and got like 11 hours total. Hopefully he's better today!
So yeah, I'm a little heart-broken lately. It seems that once my life is finally going ok (love life = good, work life = good) then my friends are the ones that have problems. My friends Kurt and Misty have been trying for years to have kids, and IVF didn't stick, and apparently the doc says it probably never will and they can't have kids. My friends Josh and Jeannette got married in August, and now they find out that Josh has cancer in his lymph nodes. He's 34. Then another couple that got married in August (been together like 13 years) are splitting up because he's been having 3 online affairs. Then yesterday I got this wave of anxiety that I get when Molly has something going on. Turns out I was right. Her husband is going in for an MRI today.
YAAAARRRGGGHHH. I mean, I thank God for my blessings and that Chris and I are fine, and I love my job, but the only one of them I haven't cried about yet is Molly's husband because I'm waiting to find out what the MRI says. My heart is just breaking for all these people I care about, and I naturally want to FIX it and make everything better but I can't! So if you think of it, maybe toss up a group prayer for Lisa's Friends, or send good vibrations and happy juju in their directions?
Welllll, better get moving. Hope you chicks all have a fabulous OP day!
Lisa
