A glorious sunrise is underway. I think we may be out of the rainy season for a bit!
The coffee is ready so help yourselves. I am going to be scurrying around "gailing" as I did not get it done yesterday. Cleaning up my berry patch seemed like more fun. It was only 40F in the morning and grey but we had sun and warmer temps and I just had to get out there in the afternoon.
Darn Bingo again today. It sure screws up my day as I have to leave at 10:30 and don't get home until after 4! It does make money for the Ag. Society but is getting to be a real drag! Harry says to figure out how much my volunteering earns over a year and just write them a cheque! end of whine
Gail comes at 9, Kevin at 1 and I hope to heck the painters don't show or Harry will have a scheduling problem! I'll be lucky to be away and come home to a clean house with a finished vanity and the bathroom painting started! (Actually I expect the painters won't show until later in the week - not that they'll call!)
OK - I'm showered and dressed and ready to leap into the day after my coffee and a cuddle with my furry kids.
Morning chicks to come and ruth with the coffee!!! Thanks!!
I am ready for another day at work tired as all get out but I could not sleep last night too tired i guess. I will try to find some me time here but it will not be easy too much to do and so little time.
Good morning all. Bummer of an evening last night - I drove 2 1/2 hours to Cleveland to go see the Dixie Chicks concert last night and 5 minutes before it was to start it was canceled. Someone was sick. Ugh! I had to pay the $15.00 parking fee, get my hubby to take the kids overnight... What a bummer. It's rescheduled for Next Wednesday, June 11th (a wednesday?) I won't be able to go but you're darn skippy I'll be getting my money back!
Anyway, I've been staying pretty much On Plan and I'm pretty proud of myself for that.
My 19 month old daughter did an amazing thing yesterday, she asked to go to the potty and then she actually DID something while sitting on it! I mean she's only 19 months old! I'm pretty sure she's a genius. I have visions of her flying through Harvard Med School by the age of 15....
Hahaha! I crack myself up. Off to get more coffee - have a good day ladies!
Adrienne you are too funny! and I love the dixie chicks too, I would not be happy either.
Ruth always busy
Susan, slow down a second and breath!
OK I hate ebay! This woman is trying to screw me on a return!
Enough, I have been back OP for 3 days. I forgot how well i can eat if I increase the fiber. I am going to do some kind of work out today as I get some of the laundry done. i have to fess up, with the weather being so on again off again I am burried in winter and summer cloths. I took some of it to the drop off place this morning. I have sheets and towels left to do, but whatever i can't get finished today is going to the drop wash and fold tomorrow.
The end of school is so busy. One full week and counting!
WHew! at work on Monday, what a day it will be. Our weekend was so busy, help MIL move, DH preaching, I was hoping to have a quiet SUnday, but NAHHHHHHH! I did pretty well all weekend eating. On Sataurday while getting my salad they had some "Sugar breaker" cheese cakes, I got one, ate half and it was GOOD! ALthough, I am a bit of a nerd and weigh myself daily, but Sunday Morning nor this morning, no loss???!!! All the other days I lost ate least 1/2 pound!!! Could it be that small peice of cheesecake? She told me it had no sugar or flour! Hmmm, I did the Ketostix tests and its always like moderate to high. Anyhow, Back to work for me. I have to finish up packing tonight for youth camp, I leave tommorrow after work I wish it was sooner, so I would not miss the first days!
Ive had a pretty busy weekend....my gf is down from niagara falls helping with the house painting. We scraped and primed the house yesterday, and most of the late afternoon and evening we trimmed the bushes in the front, and pulled up most of that papery weed stopper stuff!! Yah!!! Its almost gone. Im heading out this a.m. to pull up the rest of it. Only a 1/4 of the bed left!! She brought me a japanese maple, with a list of instructions from her mother on how to plant it. It was cute Its all planted, and is going to look wonderful!!
Back to painting and pulling......have a great day everyone
Boy..I did not wanna get up this morning--I know, I know-what else is new right? Really though-the sleepies have got a hold of me and refuse to let go......help!
I have tons of laundry to do today--yuck! I am gonna make myslef go for a walk in about a half an hour......I really need some fresh air. I don't think I told you chickies about working at the bar this weekend. Whew-I am NOT used to being on my feet so much. My sister was moving Friday and asked me to work her shift-well, I have NEVER worked at the bar before ...but what the hey...slinging beer can't be to difficult,,,right??? Yea right..I got slammed...with food orders and beer drinkers! I did pretty good though if I must say so myself..for someone who has never even waited tables before. Then Saturday the guy that was working got into a heck of a mess...and called me--so there I go AGAIN..and boy--I was so tired I could barely walk after that mess! We have what is called a Gus MAcker tournement here every year-it is 3 on 3 basketball, they literally shut downtown down, and set up basketball courts in every street-thousands of people playing and watching-well, I guess some wanted to get away so they came up for pizza beer and wings-sheesh!
I'm not sure I could handle running my buttt off like that everyday
Well, I better get some clothes in and some on-to go for my stroll!
My dh gave me a new laptop! So here I am typing away in bed and watching Montel. Trust me, I was no slug this morning--I've registered M in daycamp for the summer (the lineup was huge and long!), mowed the front lawn, and had a shower. Have to go get M at preschool in a bit. Have to finish up the laundry and do a wee bit of weeding. Today is day 1 induction, back on the wagon again.
Miss I am visioning you with a bunch of beer mugs and some tired feet! Hope you at least got some good tips!
L, I feel the same way--two more weeks of school for us and it's going to be crazy busy!
Robin--I have seen Japanese Maples and they are just beautiful! Can you say envy?
Hey Ladies, I am just checking in again! Not to many messages so far today. Well I just ate lunch (hotdog &Cheese NO BUN) I know a little weird but I am full. However, I have been to like 3 stores and cannot find the Diet crush made with Splenda However, I did find some Atkins Endulge bars, those things are REALLY good
Just spoke to DH on the phone he is about an hour away from camp with all the kids. We are taking 26 this year. I will leave tommorrow after work, can't wait I did not want to use all my vacation time on camp, so 3 days are good. I stocked up on tuna, string cheese, slim jims, water and Atkins Endulge bars. I know not too much here, but this is about the extent of what I can sneak in. Pray for me to eat this tuna! Not into eat PLAIN tuna
Well that's it-BYE ALL
Afternoon Ladies!
Well can you all tell I am trying to hit my 200th post today with the new name??
Pooky-That is funny you mentioned beer mugs-we sell like the coldest BOTTLED beer in town-and I had a guy come in and wanted a draft-I can't do it without all the foam-they have showed me how, and I can't do it!!
The proudest thing I did there Friday was to not eat-I mean come on-who doesn't love bar food right? And we make awesome pizzas-but I did not eat one morsel all day. I think that is how fat people are though-in general-I'd have been embarassed if someone came in and seen me chowing-so instead I just did not eat anything--except a slim jim-and of course that is when my dad and his buddies came in from golfing.......
wanttheoldme--Have fun camping! I have only tried the one type of bars-I don't remember if it was Atkins-it was peanut butter and chocolate---GAG!! my FIL gave them to me after he and MIL choked on them
Well, I am still trying to get my walk in today-I will try the track again after Alyssa gets home
