Thursday December 9th
 

Hi Ladies, I was awakened by the phone at 6am. this morning. :dizzy: Who calls that early in the morning?? Well, I decided to stay up for a little while. I figured out how to reset my answering machine we just bought. Like the time, day, etc.. ;) But I will go take a nap in a little while. I have to work this afternoon.3-11pm.. Not bad. :D Hope you ladies have a great day!!
I went see my Dr. yesterday too. For my medicine. And to just check in with her, see how I was doing. :?: Doing well considering that my daughter is not home right now. :o I will check back with ya'll later today. I think a cup of coffee is calling me.. :coffee:
Oh, we had a family counseling meeting with my daughter and the counselor last night. It went well, considering. :?: Well, I think I am going take a little nap. Still tired. Getting up a 6am. is not for me. :dizzy:
Hugs to everyone. Lanee... :)

good morning gang! :wave:

hey lanee - hope that 6 am call was worth it! hehe we use to have a little ole lady that would call our house every saturday morning at 6 am to see if dh would do her yard first thing. I soon learned to take my phone off the hook on Friday nights when I went to bed and then put it back on the hook when I woke up on Saturday mornings. ;) I'm glad things went fairly well with the counselor last night.

Cin - your candles sound absolutely beautiful. I think I'm gonna gonna give it a try. Don't ya just love glue guns. :-) and hey? on your double milk smooothie - do you mean that you use "chocolate & vanilla flavored half & half"? I did not know they had flavored half & half - I will have to look for it. sounds good. I take it you blend your mixture in your blender since you use ice cubes? sorry for all the questions - just wanna do it right cause it sounds yummy good and I would like to make it.

SueMarie - I hope and pray you do well on your final today! let us know how it goes!

Joanne - hope and pray the glucose test goes well tomorrow! let us know! and yes! I am done Christmas shopping! and everything is wrapped and under the tree. next week is crazy busy with activities so I needed to get done. what do you do with your Sparkies? how often do you do that? aren't little ones great!

Liz - 4 hours of sleep is all you need? hey? what kind of vitamins do you take? I think I may need what you take! ;) when is your daughter's birthday? I forgot that it was around Christmas time? wow that makes things even busier at your house. when is the party?

I just did something I have never done before. As ya'll all know I am use to exercising by myself, walking, video tapes, weights at home, etc. Well there was a great special on tv this morning. The big First Baptist Church here in town, that is 5 minutes from my office, was running a family special for a 6 month membership to their exercise room, weight room, gym and carpeted walking track for just $25. I figure that was just too good to pass up and that I will give it a try and see how I like it. (I may not like exercising around other people, and then again, I may - I don't really know). But I figure I could either go in the morning before work and exercise and then get cleaned up and get to work, or I could go during my lunch hour and simply walk the carpeted track (that would be better than mall walking), or I could even go right after work, but that would be my last choice since I would get home later and it would interfere with supper and family time.

I will let ya'll know how it goes once I get my certificate in the mail and get myself over there. I think I'm kind of excited about it.

so what is everybody doing today?

hugs,
cathy

I really should be typing out the minutes from our church meeting, but I'm procrastinating cause they are soooo boring! Then I should retype the minutes from the previous meeting so I can make copies and put them in all the chairpersons church mailboxes. Also BORING!

Yesterday, the concrete was poured for the garage floor. It's has been raining here and the trucks made ruts the size of the Grand Canyon! Oy vey! Will I ever have a nice lawn, I wonder! Roger is almost done with the work he needed to do regarding the remodeling! I talked with Scott, the carpenter, because we decided to completely tear down the room and insulate and rewire the whole thing. I told Roger that we'd regret not doing it in a few years!

Nothing else new here........

hey tippy :wave: did you get your boring minutes typed? hehe some days I get really tired of paperwork.

good to see ya!

WOW! where is the rest of our gang today?

whasssup?

Good Evening Ladies

hey lynnie! so glad you are feeling better and getting some sleep finally!

Hi Gals
Sorry
I got up late and was gone most of the day..subbed an At Work meeting ( my 7th for the week) then I had my hair cut etc.shopped a bit...got home around 5 PM.

Cathy.let me clarify. WWers sells Smoothie mixes at the meeting. 4 different flavors.I mix the choc & vanilla together.they are made with nonfat powdered milk so when combined with milk count as a double milk.like I said earlier! I usually have one daily for my breakfast.

See you all tomorrow! The weather is changing and we are finally expecting some snow this weekend.Yeah! It may seem a bit more like Chiristmas.

Cin~ ;)
