Ha ha Happy.

Patience, drop in whenever you feel motivated. Don't have to keep up. No one expects it. There are times when I don't refer back to all the posts, or do personals.

Terra - WEL DONE :bravo: on the weight loss.

Lightening struck the water tower and the phone line is under water on the other water tower so now I'm operating off the psi gauge which has air in it. The part for the lightening struck water tower should be in tomorrow. I feel like some one is punishing me. Sunday it stormed all day. Talk about a nervous wreck, I was, but my blood pressure was normal. Kept repeating a mantra peace be still and I it worked. There were two streets that lost power, so I was blessed. Ran the water tower over yesterday but you know what I didn't care. They expect me to work miracles and I can't.
I'm really looking forward to my week end with sister and family.
Sorry that this post is short, but I just don't have it in me. Maybe later when I get home.

I vote for the first one of Happy's list of titles.

Shad ~ Thanks, I've been trying hard to get into the 280's

Super early, super long and extra busy day tomorrow so I'll say hi now.

Terra - congrats on hitting a mini goal with your weight loss. Keep up the good work!

Ceejay- sounds pretty bad out your way. I know the tornadoes were in Little Rock but it sounds like you got some pretty bad stuff your way. Try not to get stressed, do what you can. Big responsibilities you have. :hug:

Hope no one takes offense to my title suggestions. I am serious about the more motivating the title, the more I fold under pressure. :o:^:

Pattience - feel free to drop in whenever you need a fix. Or someone to set the :rollpin: to you to get sewing again :D

Susie - good luck with the MRI tomorrow - how frustrating that they screwed up the appointment request. I hope they can find the underlying problem. I think you are wise to meet with the doctor right now.

Michelle - sweet dreams and fairy dust to you tonight so that you get a good rest. :wizard:

Shad - sounds like DS2 has a disco kitchen with colored flashing lights. You bring the music, I'll bring the tequila sunrises :lol: Actually it sounds quite lovely. I like the idea of combining mood lighting with showing off your artwork. Thank you Iin advance) for setting up the new thread.

Hello to the others - I have to dope myself up so I can get to sleep and get a few hours in before the alarm goes off. Nighty night all.

Oh and we got about 5 inches of heavy, wet snow. Just what we needed. Not. Going to be a messy day.

Hello Ladies...

Not very motivated these days. C is on vacation this week and I must say this 24/7 thing is making me kind of lazy, crazy and unmotivated. We didn't go anywhere for vacay obviously due to more bills than income. Bleh. Not standing in the soup line yet. lol

I have been listening to 60 seconds and You're Hired. Thanks CHELLE for the suggestion and free advice which has helped a lot. I am thinking on going to a temp/contract agency. I have done that before when I temped at Eli Lilly for 9 months. back in 2004.

C has caught enough fish and cleaned them (filet, no bones) to feed an army. Actually about 6 meals. He has been fishing 4 times since last Wednesday. Still too cold in the early mornings for me to go. I don't like freezing my hands off while fishing.

I went to the movies by myself last Saturday and watched Heaven is for Real. It was a very good movie and could be believable. I like those kinds of movies so it is easy for me to believe. I also want to see The Other Woman, it looks hilarious. C wants to see Spiderman II, I could take or leave it. We rented Walking with Dinosaurs which was cute and also rented Labor Day, was an ok movie too.

CEEG....hope you are safe with all the storms in the south.

Better hop in the shower. Happy Hump Day All

Good morning all,

I had such a lovely visit with my high school friend! We got caught up on all that has happened to each of us since high school. I brought over dinner...mostly noshing type food like fruit, veggies, cheese, bread, pita, hummus.

By 8:00, I was getting tired, so we agreed to continue this catching up again soon as she's leaving in early June to go to Mexico for 4 months.

As for thread titles, I like Happy's suggestions better than mine. I especially like "Man - It's MAY, Time for Worldlies To Get Their Arses in Gear". As I definitely do need to get my Arse in gear.


==================================
Happy - That sucks that you got more snow. Yesterday, I was talking with some friends who live just outside Milwaukee and they didn't want to hear about the temps in the low 90s as they were having a 40 degree rainy day. If only I could send 20 or so degrees a couple thousand miles to the east, then we'd all be happy. LOL It's supposed to be mid 90s here today and tomorrow, but they say the temps will be more moderate by the weekend. :D I hope your extra busy super long day goes well.

Annie - Thanks for posting and texting me. Sounds like C is having a great vacation with all the fishing he's doing. I'm glad you like the 60 Seconds book. I found it helped me A LOT.

Ceejay - Wow, lightning hit the water tower!! Sorry that all the stormy weather makes your job even more stressful. I like your mantra.

Pattience - Nice to "see" you again! Don't ever feel compelled to read everything or post personals. And feel free to hop in and out whenever you wish. I can't remember if you said you had a website for your clothing designs. If not, maybe you could post some photos. I'd love to see them. (BTW, if you have already posted photos...I apologize for not remembering.)


:wave: to all. I'll try and check in later.

Much love and many hugs,

Hi all. Sorry I've been out of things. Still discombobulated from this weekend's excitement. :( Trying to get back on track, and yes, my arse in gear!!

Have a good day all. :wave:

Happy ~ Thanks, I hope I just keep dropping the pounds

As soon as I wake up some Im gonna walk for the 1st time today and then I walk again after dinner and then I walk for the last time before it gets dark

Morning all.

Happy – Hope you have a productive day with the shop work and are able to get to your yoga class as well. Wow, that’s a lot of snow. :( I’m sure it’ll be gone quickly. Still - it puts a damper on enjoying spring. Sorry your mom didn’t phone you on your bday. Was it forgetfulness? I don’t want or need big celebrations or gifts for my bday, but just a special meal and a treat (of course) or even just being wished a happy birthday is nice. Some people insist it’s just another day, but why not make it a little bit special?

Hi Annie. Too much togetherness for you? I get it. BF and I have experienced that on vacation when we’re in a car together, LOL. Good for C with the fish – you know where they came from and it’s healthy for you. I believe my mom has requested the book Heaven is for Real from her library after seeing something on tv about it. Happy mentioned that movie The Other Woman to me too – I’ll have to see what that’s about. I don't even think I've seen a trailer or commercial for it yet. Yeh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Spiderman movie and don’t care if I ever do.

Shad – I like sound of DS’s lights in the kitchen, esp. with the fading of one color into another. Sounds soothing. I do like decorative sconces – you don’t see those much anymore. I still remember the old place we went for great hamburgers that was sort of a cross between a cave and a hunting lodge – how I loved the sconces that looked like flaming torches, LOL. We have a couple recessed ceiling fixtures by the fireplace that are different because they aim the bulb towards the artwork over the mantel. And all our recessed lighting is dimmable. I like that...except when I turn on the lights to look for something and bf has dimmed them so far down I can’t see a thing and I have to move the teeny tiny slidey thing up to get them back to useful wattage.

Terra – I noticed your ticker yesterday but didn't want to say anything unless/until you did – congrats on the loss!! Good job Terra!! :bravo: The walking is paying off! :cp:

Ceejay – Oy, your job gets so much more difficult with the severe weather – things freezing up in the cold, frying out from lightning, flooding…Sorry you couldn’t have a calm, easy week before your vacation. :hug: I’m glad you were handling it though! Wishing you a wonderful time with your family and friends on vacation in Branson!!! :)

Michelle – I hope you were able to get a good night’s sleep last night. Nice you caught up with the out of town friend, good you had a nice time with the hs friend last night. Gosh, how nice he’s going to Mexico for an extended stay!

Susie – I hope the MRI goes well tomorrow – no more snafus! I sure hope you get your cortisone shot – you don’t need knee and foot pain at the same time!

Hi Pattience – Drop in any time to give us an update!

++

Nothing much to report. We went to Costco last night in search of disposable gloves. They come in handy for food prep, and also for dog walks. We ended up having the big hot dogs they sell there for dinner. Meal of champions – not!

The admin had a going away type dinner with a vendor we work with and got some scoop on our new sr mgr. We are correct in our assessment of her. I won’t get into it, but I will say that I will need to watch my back around her. Part of my eating struggle more recently has been related to stress over the admin leaving and also the realization that this new sr mgr is making me not want to work in the department anymore.

Sorry to end on that depressing note, but that’s where my thoughts are at these days.:shrug: TTFN.

:wave: jollygirl

Terra - Congrats on the great weight loss! :woohoo:

Laura - Sorry that you're under so much stress at work. :hug:

Jolly - How is your doggie doing? Any more seizures? Sending you and your doggie hugs too. :hug:
