Friday, February 8th!

  • Coffee is on!

    Want a cup?

    To those traveling south or north or to the big city...have fun, be safe and come back refreshed!

    Spot, the little guy is doing GREAT! He is a first class sweetie and is in fact looking forward to spring when the worms will be pleantiful. He was cute last fall...making sure he was real careful with them and making sure they went back to their homes to be with their mommies and daddies. He is turning into a very gentle soul. So, I have to ask...this squat to music thing....if I should do it...will someone be there to help me up? Keep us posted, and keep posting!

    Not much on schedule today. I like that! Plan to go for a walk with my neighbor and if I am real energetic, which I am not, perhaps Jiff and Mom will come over for dinner. Struggling a bit with weight loss impatience but will just have to work thru it!

    be well,
    peach
  • LIfe Keeps Interfering!!!!
    Never did get back here yesterday although I did have a bit of a morning chat. Would you believe the chatroom had 8 - 10 people in it at 11 a.m.!

    Got my haircut yesterday afternoon and feel "sassy" again. Caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror and have decided I look downright SLOPPY in the clothes that I have been saying are "comfy"! Size 24 just does not fit anymore so into the Goodwill it all goes. Gotta hang out with just my 20 and 18 outfits and ditch the rest. Clothes are not supposed to matter but they do! I feel as sassy as my haircut in my size 20 jeans and matching shirt this morning.

    Lucy and I are off to the vet this morning for her boosters and weigh-in. Lady Hershey is not coming - she does not seem to be slimming down so I will wait a while to weigh her. It is so sad to go into a downer because your DOG has gained weight but I feel kind of responsible.

    When we come home, I am taking everything out from under the sink and scrubbing that cupboard. It can get really gross! This is the start of my spring cleaning, I guess. Anybody else been bitten by the Spring Fly Lady Bug?

    Catch you later and
    TGIF!
  • Good Moring Peachie and all those to coem!

    Well, all I have to say was yesterday was very eventful. I had a panic attack which is having me rethink the medication aspect of things. Perhaps I can get the doctor to give me a lower doseage--one enough to stave off the crazies but still allows me to have an emotion! Grrr....I just wish I could get off the stuff!! I know, I know--one day at a time. But it just takes so long...(insert whine here)

    As for my interview--yes, I was one nervous nelly but it turns out I didn't have to be. I don't know about you but if you're not even eliciting a smile from the interviewers that can't be good. They are making it sound like I've 90% got the job and that it really just boils down to how I feel about the place without them making me feel welcome. I have to do a volunteer day with the them so they can see how I interact with the kids and I am willing to go through it--basically just for the experience of getting out there and doing it. I also felt that I was overqualified for the job and that they weren't about to be more forthcoming with what they wanted out of me. I sensed that there was some type of BS flowing at the place and I left with the sense of hmmmmmm, don't know if I want to work there or not. We'll have to see about that one--maybe I was just interviewed at the wrong time (it was the end of the day and all the kids were being picked up).

    So that's nuts and bolts of it--today my contractor comes to do my kitchen!!! YAHOO!! Demolition will begin today and quite frankly, no on is happier that me to see the useless island gone. It blocks the entrance into my kitchen and now I will have it more open!

    Have a great day chicks!

    We were posting at the ame time Ruth--good morning to you and spring cleaning?? Can't get here fast enough for me because that means there's no more snow!
  • Good Friday Morning Ladies,

    Have a weekend full of Valentine's projects ahead. We need to make cards for the boys classmates and a Valentine mailbox for Don. I also plan on making cookie bouquets for the teachers (a heart on a stick made to look like a rose) and a graduation cookie bouquet for my friend, a grandmother, graduating from college.

    Making the cards will be a challenge, if we were making cards using rubber stamps it would be fine, but, last year our neighbors made cards using the computer. They scanned images of their boys and attached the head to a muscle bound body and created a very funny card that was the hit of their classrooms. So, I have to figure out how to use the scanner to create some special cards for the boys. Well I guess it is about time, we have had the scanner for about 10 months and have never used it.

    Peachie, Tell Jif we are think of her, have fun.

    Pooky, That interview sounded interesting, glad you were able to take care of the anxiety early enough.

    Ruthie, Love that Lucy!

    Ms Spot, now that you have joined Curves, make sure you make it a habit.

    Have a great op weekend!
  • Good morning!

    Peach What the heck time did you get up this morning? I think the worms and your little guy sound so cute. Wormy mommies and daddies - how do you tell the difference? Look under their little pants?

    Ruth I'm walking around in some really baggy clothes too. As a matter of fact, my hair's looking pretty shaggy too. Maybe people would notice my weight loss if I weren't so baggy and shaggy. Hmmm, there's a notion for you!

    Pooks Did you notice I gave you the designer-y teal color? I have learned in my almost 44 long years on earth, that my intuition is rarely wrong. If I were you, I'd go do the volunteer day and see if you still get those wierd vibes. I've ignored them before and thought, "it's just me" and regretted it later.

    Jenny I have no doubt you'll produce spectacular cards. Your Christmas cards were lovely and I'm sure these will be too.

    Kel (See, you get Kelly Green! Clever, no?) Wow, musical squats! Makes me want to join too. Sounds so flattering and romantic! Really, I am very proud of you. I know I feel so much better when I exercise regularly. You go girl!

    Sooner You have no idea how proud I am of you! It's really not about conforming, it's about being TACKY!
    Really, would Martha Stewart leave her decorations up? I think not!

    My Father-in-Law is doing better, but won't get out today as he had hoped. I'm glad, because he sure doesn't look ready to be out of the hospital to me. Hopefully he'll come home tomorrow or Sunday. This has been hard on Todd (the sweet husband). I think he's been surprised at how hard it's been so see his dad so vulnerable and sick. He went down today to drive his mom to the hospital and be with his dad. He's spending the night at their house, just so my MIL won't have to be alone. Is he great or what?
    I'm OP, downing the water and exercising. Good for me, huh?

    Have a good one!
    Ms. Chickadee
