Morning all.
Terra – Thanks for starting another thread for us. I like the title!!
Michelle – How were all the wedding festivities? Are the bride & groom off on a honeymoon now? If so, where did they go? Oh, and how’s your brother doing?
Annie – Keeping you in my thoughts and praying the right opportunity comes along for you. It’ll happen for you, I know it.
Susie – I’m glad you enjoyed that movie. I’ll have to get out and see it. I can’t make it to the movies with the girls on Tuesday, but maybe later this week bf & I can go see it. Don’t envy you going back to work after a full week off. Good luck with Mt. Email. Doing that 4 mile walk sounds like a good way to get motivated and the training will definitely get you moving more. Nice you got a walk in last night.
Ceejay – Glad you didn’t have to work another extra day – makes the weekend too short! Hope you find the right size trash can on a future shopping trip.
Happy – Trying not to think of winter, and maybe we should ban that word here!!! Probably a good thing you did a buyout on that pension, why keep having reminders of the poor treatment?? Re the big plumbing thing – we’ve known this was something we’d have to deal with eventually, and even though it was expensive, I’m glad it’s not hanging over our heads anymore. And I’m glad we dealt with it before it resulted in a big mess in the house. Re meeting up in OB when you’re in town, the weekends are filling up now, but I think I’m good for either the 23rd or 24th, otherwise, most weeknights would be good for me. Just let me know how it’s shaping up for you once you get here. Those are big temperature swings – definitely need to be prepared with extra blankets!! Good luck with the tag day frundraiser!! I think the presence of tag people on the street is what will remind people to donate, so don’t fret about the newspaper thing.
Shad – Sounds like you’re keeping very busy at home. No, no fun thinking of taxes. I felt very poor and “woe is me” last week because of the big plumbing bill and property taxes were was also due on the 1st. Bleh. Thank goodness for savings. We put the plumbing bill on the credit card so we can at least earn some points out of the deal. Glad kitty is happy to be back at home again with you. Sounds like you’ll be busy for a while yet. I need to get some lists going – not much got done this past weekend and there’s a whole lot that needs doing!!

Sorry I was MIA all weekend. Saturday morning I went to Jazzercise. The gym floor was being redone, so we had class downstairs in the parish hall – they use it for bingo. I was pooped afterwards – got through the cardio part fine, but it was the strength portion that I struggled with.
I stopped at Trader Joe’s for a few things afterwards, then went home and showered and did a couple chores/errands before taking doggy in for his bath. We did the DIY bath at the grooming salon nearby and then we went home and I took another shower, LOL.
After that, it was off to my sister and BIL’s house for a cookout. Everything was wonderful, from the weather to the food & drink. But I did get stung by a wasp out on the deck…not too horrible, though you wouldn’t know it by the way I freaked out, LOL.
We got home around 8-ish and a I walked doggy around the block in the dark, him wearing his little clip-on light and me carrying a flashlight.
Yesterday I lazed around with my book and newspaper for the morning. I did one last load of laundry and I’m finally caught up (for the most part). Bf and I went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory with a gift card, and then went to Lenscrafters to check out eyeglass frames. I didn’t see anything I liked, so I’d like to go to another place or two to check out other brands. I already looked a bit at Costco a couple weeks ago, but their selection is rather small. Too warm for the dog park, so it was another short-ish walk for doggy.
I discovered I left my sunglasses by my sister’s house on Saturday, but we will both be attending a wrap-up party on Tuesday evening for the Relay for Life fundraiser we were part of, so my sister will bring them with her then.
The boss is out today, so it’ll be quiet. I have work to do on our budget, so I will be busy with that and other things. Off to do them! TTFN!
