we have power...our power only went out a couple of times, but was quick to come back on. the businesses around us....those are a different story! I can look out our doorwall/front door and it is completely pitch black out there! occasionally you will see a the headlights of a car or truck go by but that is it!
all we got Monday night was just rain as oppose to Sunday night. so that was nice. we even played outside with the boys while Marissa was sleeping. we were playing with Logan's t-ball set that he got for Christmas.....and I was having a ball! I also tried my hand, for the first time, at making sugar cookies from scratch on Sunday. they were good.....except they tasted more like flour cookies then sugar cookies! I gotta cut this short......I have to keep trying the transportation department to let them know that Brandon doesn't need the bus to pick him up......but I am thinking that the phone might be out. |
You can Uncross Everything now. lol
Well Thanks Ladies, but you can now uncross everything. lol. It was a big fat NO. :no: Not a little no, but a big NO. lol. He basically said no schedule changes are allowed at this time and that the new girl will just need to learn and if she has any questions she can ask the other dept that we work closely with.
I copied the new girl on the email so he replied to both of us, the new girl is like, "Boy he is really nice, isn't he?". I was like "Yeah can't you tell how much he cares?" lol. So anyways, that is that. But I still can hope for our new manager to change our schedules like I've heard. So lets hope........ But I am proud of me for at least asking. It doesn't hurt to ask. I am used to hearing no, esp from him. I have a feeling he will come by my desk in the AM about it and if he does I will just say, I just thought I would ask is all. :shrug: Either that or he'll duck and hide when he sees me trying to avoid me. lol. So lets see what happens......Oh and yesterday morning, all the Dayshift Witches :witch2: (that is my new nick-name for them) were very very quiet. Very strange. So if they remain this way all week while I am here, then I pretty much know that my counter-part who works opposite me on nights blabbed. But I told her she could tell them or show them the email I sent her. I am not hiding anything. lol. Katy -- Thanks. I guess I am gonna have to hope for my new manager now to change our schedules back to the way they were or at least off of this goofy one we are on now. :dizzy: I have been wanting to take my wedding dress and have it cleaned and put into a box that displays it, but I never did. :( Good Luck on the 10,000 steps! Francie -- Yeah well, the surveys are our only ways to "Voice" our opinions without getting fired. lol. Yes we both were brutally honest and I am sure the rest of our teams were as well. Last year, our dept. got the worst rating and so the manager at that time had a meeting with us all. lol. The problem: was him and still is our supervisor (the Weasel) and also that we keep getting moved around under different managers. Suzy Q -- thanks. I felt like I had to at least try and that is what I did.... Cristina -- Thanks. It was a nice thing for my mil to do for dh & I. (shadow boxes) We want renew our vows this year, we'll be married 10 yrs. this September, well I should say I want to renew our vows, I don't think DH wants too, so I pretty much dropped the whole thing. I WILL be taking off work though, I don't care where I am, I'm gonna take off even if I have to sit home all alone. lol. You know now DH is second guessing the out-of-state job. UGH after everything we've gone through for him to even apply for that stupid thing! He is afraid he won't be able to do it, with his health and all. I said, well lets wait and see if you got the job first. After that, if he gets an interview, then they will most likely tell him exactly what he'd be doing. But either way by the end of this month I am job hunting. Either for a job out-of-state if he gets and takes the job, or another job up here. I'm through with this place once and for all. If I go somewhere else and I don't like it, well I can either live with it or move on! But I am really tired of being unhappy. :( I know that work is work and you don't go skipping into work everyday (well most people don't) but I have given this job a fair amount of time (2 1/2 yrs) and its not getting any better, if anything its getting worse. Anyways, sorry to talk your ear off about my stupid job. :blah: I bet you all will be happy if DH does get/take the other job or if I finally get out of here so I can finally shut up about it. lol. Jules -- Hoping everything works out for Teri. I know I have a well I guess technically is still my "step sister" but anyways, she has been with this loser guy for yrs and he hasn't worked the whole time and is just plain lazy. But if she wouldn't listen to her dying father, then she is not gonna listen to anybody else. :no: I know I went through it myself in HS. I kept going back to the same Idiot over and over again. Even though everybody around me could see straight through him. UGH all the time and tears I wasted on him! lol. Mindee -- Mmm sugar cookies. :drool: I haven't had any of those in yrs. DH doesn't like them so I usually end up making Chocolate Chip when I do make them, which isn't often. lol. Well have a great day! :hug: |
Jules~We got a little bit of rain here in Silverdale this afternoon..but it wasnt so bad. It was horribly windy though. The trees out back were scaring me. I thought for sure one of them was gonna come crashing down on the roof. The lights kept flickering, but the power didnt go out. Thank God. I hate being here in bad weather alone.
Mindee~When I make any cookie from scratch (except for peanut butter) it always tastes like flour. I dunno why that is. I follow the directions carefully and everything..but it always tastes like flour. Sometimes, I'll throw some cinnamon in it and that blocks out the flour taste. Mmmm..I've been craving cookies for so long, I think I might bake some tomorrow. LoL!! Sassy~Do you think your manager can see what you're typing?? I mean..are you sure he's not monitoring your comp?? I'm not trying to freak you out or anything..but just be careful. Clearly, your dept has had some pretty bad management. They need to bring in someone with good people skills, listening skills, etc. LoL!!!! Well..nothing new to report. I'm about to go look at all the apartments I found today. I found this one place, and its totally perfect. The utilities are included, it has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, its in our price range. But....it looks pretty crappy on the outside. I dunno..it makes me think it could be in a bad neighborhood or something. Ya know? Here's the link for it: http://www.move.com/apartments/listi...?source=a16093 ..and please be honest with me because I'm really torn right now. If you know the area, then please let me know how it is. Its near the AF base, so I'm not sure how close (or far) it would be to the Naval Academy. |

Wassup w/ that?? Jason, Sean and Jesse are the only ones I like that are left. Jeremy still is creepy to me. And Graham is a big baby, send him home or give him a pacifer to suck on. Yes, I am pmsing!! lol anyway....I don't want to laugh, I want to enjoy my misery for a bit and feel sorry for myself. Thank you very much. Had the usual banana. slim fast for breakfast. My goal is 145 by Friday, we'll see, seem to be stalled. I walked 3 miles yesterday so I feel good about that and I got a membership to the gym so I need to get enough nerve to actually go and work out. haha. k- I will come back when I am more talkive! You all have a good day! |
Hiya Ladies...
Today is game day, :yay: I enjoy going to watch Chase...although at times it seems we end up chatting a lot, lol. They canceled last Thursday's, not sure when it will be made up and it is supposed to rain tomorrow...their last game, or was their last game. We'll see what happens. Chase will come home with us tomorrow should there be a game...guess the momma will bring him over if there isn't. His turn with Nana. Of course he was looking forward to his turn at the zoo and it is supposed to rain Thursday as well. We'll figure it out once we see. Got in my exercise, feeling good about that. Getting ready to go mow the backyard. Will do the front Friday I think...unless it doesn't rain tomorrow. With all this rain I have been having to mow every 4-5 days instead of 7...oh well, more exercise for me. FRANCIE...I don't know anything about the area but I think the apartments look great! About all the little stuff to do on your trip...get a state map or atlas and look on it for things...make a list of them and then look them up on the computer...that's what I always did. Or, we just did whatever and if we saw something on the way and decided to stop we did. But sometimes it was just too far off track and I was anal about time, lol. I always had a schedule and liked to stick with it. I hated that about myself back then. I think the spoons is a great idea...a great tribute to your mom. SASSY...don't get tired of you talking about your job...it's not good to keep things in. It's not just you and your either...I think a lot of people have to deal with stupid people on the job, or I know DH, DIL & the sons do...just stupid stuff all the time. MINDEE....mmmmm, sugar cookies! I never could make them, mine always taste like they have too much flour and I always cut back on the flour and add a little more sugar. So I just buy store ones, lol. But I can make a mean peanut butter cookie and choc. chip too! Glad I don't make them often. My mother can make some good sugar cookies. JULES...I don't think it bad for wanting someone good for your daughter. We all just want whats best for our kids and she deserves to be treated like a queen! And hey, looks aren't everything. I think a persons personality and the way they treat others tops looks anyday! Hope you are able to cool off...I saw the weather for the east coast, ugh! Too hot, and I thought it was hot and humid here! HIYA SUSAN, KATY, SUE, CLARA & TAMMY...hoping all is well with you ladies! Well, gotta get going...about time to mow the backyard. Take care and have a wonderful day ladies!:hug: |
HIYA SUSAN...sorry about the pms'ing. :hug: WTG on the 3 miles walked, and the gym membership! Now get your booty in there, you heard me, lol. Feel better girly.
Chat later :wave: |
Cristina - argh, I am getting there. Have fun w/ Chase, how old is he?? You are always awesome on the exercise! :)
I keep promising Gaby the zoo but I don't want to go when it rains, suppose to start getting warmer tomorrow, I think...so, cross fingers. My pms is my back and hips hurting, just drains me. *wah, *wah.....big baby, huh?? Maybe Graham and I should both be sucking on our binkies...lol Gaby made a card for her teacher and wrote Miss H on the front and You are the best, I love you Gaby ..in the inside, plus I bought a cute angel and it says something about being in her (Gab's) heart forever. Awwww. k- think I will go back to bed...lol, didn't get much sleep. adios! |
Sassy - Sorry to hear that your supervisor didn't cooperate. Maybe it's a good idea to get a new job. It's not worth suffering over a lousy job and a supervisor who doesn't appreciate you. I'm new so I don't know where you work. Good luck.
Francie - I know it's stressful moving. Just take a deep breath and relax. Stressing yourself out will only make it more difficult. I bet talking to Fonzo helped alot. It'll get better once he gets home. Just take everything one step at a time. Good luck. Mindie - I hope you are not anywhere near all the floods. I'm not very good at geography. I would like to check out your pictures on My Space, but I have no idea how to do it. Cristina - Great work with your walking. I want to start walking but I need to wait until I get an okay from my doctor. I injured my foot in March. I don't know all of you and I hope I can get all of you straight. I will join in the walking challenge if my doctor okays it. I injured my foot in March while walking for Cure for Diabetes. My daughter is a type I diabetic so we try walking every year. The doctor said that my ankle or foot weren't broke but that it had to do a little with age. Just a little, lol. I am taking yoga and man is it hard. It's harder than my weight training class. But I am going to stick with it. I also take water aerobics. I need more cardio so I hope I can start walking. I need to lose weight for my son's wedding in March. I wear a size 18-20 and I would like to get down to at least a 14. Well, I have to get ready for my weight training class at 2:30 and then my yoga at 4:30. Talk to you all tomorrow. |
About the Bachelorette: I was shocked to see Fred go home. That was a little sad. I was glad Robert went home. He was fugly. I couldnt stand him since day 1. He just ended up getting too cocky towards the end. I loved it when she avoided his kiss. Graham is one hot dude..but omg..he needs to grow the heck up and get over himself. Jeremy is trying too hard and its annoying me big time!!! I agree with you Susan, I cant believe she kept Twilly instead of Brian. Twilly is just way too dorky for words. He's not even attractive. Can anyone see themselves married to a man named Twilly?!?!?!?! Seriously!!! LOL!!! Jason & Jesse are my faves still. I loved the song Natasha Bedingfield (spl?) sang. I love her songs, she has a lovely voice.
Susan~Sorry that your pmsing :hug: Maybe some chocolate would help? Cristina~I'm gonna take your advice and look up some stuff online. I figured we'd probably just see a lot from the road anyway. But Mt. Rushmore is now on our list, lol. I looked at a lot of apartments last night..and that one is still my fave. Probably because it has 3 bedrooms, lol. In my mind theres a room for us, the baby, and the computers. LoL!! My friend didnt understand why I would want that place for that price..and I'm just like.."we're planning for our family here. So we have to think of the future" Ya, I'm a dork..but whatever, lol. Well..I went to bed feeling like crap..and I woke up feeling like crap. I'm having some pretty bad cramps right now. And I'm craving a cheeseburger big time. Last night, I could actually taste french fries, lol. It was weird. But ya..AF is in town right now, but so far its just bad cramps and a little bit of spotting. I hate this time of the month. oooooooookkkkkkkkkk something weird just happened to my comp. It clicked off then back on..and I didnt lose this page. Wtf..I better go before it shuts down. I hate this weather!!!!!! |
well, I was going to try my hand at making sugar cookies again......but I am not in the right mood to make them now. I just have a lot going on right now, so I just didn't want to do it.
Brandon ended up not going to school today because the district was closed again today! so, I have no idea when his last day of school will be or if they will just send the stuff to him in the mail. Tommy got a call from a temp agency today about a job that is closer to home and that is actually in the area of work that he knows. When he finally got around to calling about it, the position had already been filled. But the lady said that she would keep him in mind for it because she doesn't think this other person will last that long. The pay is $11 an hour.....which would be great! So, I am kind of hoping that things don't work out with the other person and that Tommy gets the job instead. Am I wrong to think that? The recipe calls for 3 cups of flour, which I thought was a bit much when I was making them. So, I might try using maybe a 2 1/2 cups next time.....or just putting in more sugar instead. Francie~ I had to take a second look when I saw the name of the apartments you posted. There is an apartment complex here in MI, with the same name, that Tommy's ex girlfriend used to live in. Those look great! Cristina~ have fun at Chase's game! I am going to try the cutting back on the flour to see if that helps.....and if it doesn't I just might add in some cinnamon! Clara~ Nope, we are not near the floods. But there are some members of this board that are. I hope your foot heals soon! |
Hi... I finally got a pedometer. I opted to not get the crazy ones that give you calories and all that. I had one and it was so complicated I didn't use it. I bought one at Target that just counts steps. And it didn't have to be set up with your stride and all that jazz. It is self adjusting. AND Katy, it has a cover so I won't mess it up. It is very small also, so I think I can wear it all day with no problem. I guess I will post my distance every night after I take the durn thing off. I will never catch up with the rest of you, but I am going to give it a good shot.
Took Mom to the Dr. today and then we went to eat at Lonestar for lunch. I would much rather go out at lunch time and then have my lightest meal later. Although today I might just fix a fruit salad or have cantaloupe later. I splurged and had a cheeseburger...sorry Francie. I am bad and I will pay for it on the scale I'm sure. Nothing else to report here as we have been plenty lazy. Lots of storms and winds. DeAnna should have sent Twilly packing. I bet he goes next. I am also ready for her to get rid of Jeremy. Jason FTW! I love Graham, but what is his problem? He knew he wouldn't be her one and only on this show. Get a grip man! Jesse is sweet...needs a good barber (I'm old and old fashioned) I'm just not sure he is the one for her. I also watched Nashville Star last night. Kind of OK...had a few faves. Billy Ray Cyrus needs a good barber too. (You think I am bad, you should have seen me when I went to CA and my "baby boy" had a ponytail. YIKES!) I got over it though, then he cut it off. I was spoiled because he always wanted his hair short when he was at home. I mean short! God, I don't know why I get on here for a quickie and ramble so much....Sorry ladies! :) LOL! |
My ticker stats are totally pitiful....I need a swift kick in the ***.
I am feeling more like myself..so maybe I can give it a good whirl. |
well- got everyone all graduated -yippee! I took the kids to a used sports equipment store and bought my son some inline skates and bought my daughter a skateboard. They were a steal, but then I had to get elbow pads, knee pads, wrist pads...yeesh. Used to skateboard with nuthin'...I would go the the top of the hill and just go for it - what a little thrill seeker I was! I tried the skateboard a little today and I have totally lost my center of gravity and have no coordination on it at all.
No miles to add today - I'm wiped :( told the kids I would make them breakfast for dinner and they are acting like it's Christmas or something...who would have thought it would take so little to get them excited? B/ette- I'm liking Jason more...definitely see him as a final two or three now. WTF...she kept Twilley?! I don't get it...he must be comic relief or something, but he's not all that articulate and he's bonded more with the guys than with her. I have say that as the show has gone on, I am less than impressed with DeAnna. She doesn't appear to be very intelligent or capable of more than one sentence...she's all " he needs to open up" ALL THE TIME...she was driving me crazy. One would think that Graham's difficulties could be perceived as an attractive quality..I mean, he wanted her all to himself...that's sweet! How perverted that this show makes that seem like a liability....Guess that's why I like this show..it's kind of sick and twisted. I'm off to drink a beer and go through my children's portfolios..my son has one with work in it all the way from kindergarten...I'm gonna need some kleenex. |
Katie--I remember doing all kinds of stuff with out all the pads and helmets....and with growing up in a neighborhood made up of mainly boys I had to keep up..I doubt I can still outclimb a boy to a tree top..actually I doubt I could still climb a tree. I have a huge rubbermaid tub of momentos of the kids school years I go through now and then. I have a framed picture that Ry painted in 5th grade that was put in an art show. It's a big orange dog that matches NOTHING else in the room, but I will never take it down.
Sue--my stats aren't great either. I gave blood today and have been feeling a little lightheaded ever since. I did find my pedometer today. I prefer lunch to be heavier and dinner to be just some fruits or veggies too. Mindee--good luck with the sugar cookies and Tommy's job. What happenned with the summer babysitting? Teri is babysitting her coworkers firend one evening a week, Ava is 4 and the boy who's name I am forgetting is 8. They went to the park tonight. Their mom (and Ava) babysit Dominic on Thursdays. Teri jokes that Dominic has all the "older" women falling for him. Francie--the apartment is nice. The playground will be good for your future babies. Teri had a terrible time finding an aprtment she liked that was "pet" friendly. A big thunderstorm went through here right before I got on the pc. Lots of thunder booming going on. I love thunder and lightning, always have. Hubby and I drove to Sioux Falls SD to pick up his V8 bike he bought on Ebay in the middle of February--got caught in a snowstorm coming back and couldn't stop at all due to the hotels/motels being full due to nasty snow & ice. We finally had to stop for awhile at a rest stop and he slept enough to make it the rest of the way home. Was definitely not a fun trip. Clara--sounds like you are doing great on the exercise!! Welcome!! SuzyQ--that Gaby is the sweetest..to bad Rach can't get out of her teenage angst and take a few lessons from her. Sending good vibes for your goal.....Hope you get to go to the zoo soon. Cristina--I agree with looks not being everything. Teri's doesn't think her friend Geneva boyfriend is cute but she loves the way he treats Geneva. I haven't seen this guy in person yet but she has been happier than I have ever seen her with Dave. Teri is a walking contradiction, she can be very selfish and self centered one minute and then be the most giving and loving person the next. With Dave she gives and gives and gets nothing back beacuse he always wants more. His mom is still nutso too!! Sassy-sorry about the job--why do bad bosses have to lack common sense. Your plan to be there working when there is only one person covering phones makes much more sense than being there when everything is covered. The man needs to be transferred somewhere--he definitely doesn't sound like he has any management skills!! Teri feels guilty about leaving Dave while he's in jail...he keeps telling her she's all he has. I just worry that he's not going to change and she will just keep trying to make it work. TAMMY---where are you!!! come back!!!! Well I gotta go... |
