Today is supposed to be the day of the big interview. If they cancel this time, I am not persuing this company. (That would make 3 times). Wish me luck!!!!
Way to go Kaylets! Standing firm, no nonsense you! I'll give you a Peggy Hill whooo yeah!!!
Alergies are giving me grief today. Sneezy nose, slight cough. Blah Blah Blah.
Sydney's birthday is tomorrow!!! I cannot believe she'll be one!!! We're having her birthday party this saturday. I have SOOO much to do. Also, her ped called and said her iron is indeed slightly off. What can we do? We give her vitamins everyday, maybe some spinach? She has an appointment on friday for her one year checkup. Maybe she'll have suggestions for us.
Well, time to pretend I actually work...Tootles...
Good luck on your interview, Froggie!!! Happy birthday to Sydney!!! It IS hard to believe it's been a year!
E, how do you make that "fudge?"
Well, s, it seems I am receiving a free SUV in a few weeks. It belonged to my nephew, who died recently. I am very sad, but know he would want me to be excited, so I will ... and if I'm gonna see the relatives, I need to kick b*tt here on my fitness challenge so's I can gloat ... truly I need some o' those proverbial internet hugs ... I am very sad today.
Got back a little while ago. IMO it went GREAT! So we'll see.
Had a great pasta dish with penne, marinara, black olives, peperoni, italian sausage, green pepers, onions and a little cheese. Only ate half as I was trying to listen to what the guy had to say.
I really wanted the salmon, but our lunchmate ordered it, and I didn't want to seem a copy cate. Plus she said it sucked.
Flying in for a quickie: Doing very well, got my new Tanita scale today and am looking forward to its inaugural run on Friday. Insanely busy with work that I don't like one bit (editing about 40 pages of PR blah blah blah down to 5 or 6 for a podcast script. Ick. I can't even type that without gagging.)
Amarantha! So sorry for your saddies! It's no wonder -- how heartbreaking to lose your nephew. Maybe he'll be with you in spirit in the new vehicle, though? Love you!
Frogger -- WTG on the good interview!!! Keep us posted!
frogger-glad to hear your interview went well! happy first birthday to princess sydney!
amarantha-sorry you are sad. i'm sending you lots of virtual hugs!!!
arabella-hope your big work load will go as quickly as is possible.
and to all the rest of the royal court, hope your evening is good. have been keeping up with daily exercise, and am remaining op so far this week. take care, all.
Yeah, I decided to take off tomorrow and friday so today is like my friday. I really want to get everything together for her party on Saturday. Going after work today to order the food and the cake.
Got 50% through with doing her party favors (we only have little 3 kids coming) I'm really glad that DH is around, he feeds her dinner almost every night so I can get what I have to do done and cook for us. I only got 50% through because as I bought, I stuffed everything into the china cabinet so she couldn't get to it and I had to dig through everything to find the actual favors amist the party supplies and holiday dishes etc.
I'm also wearing goucho's for the first time since I think 5th grade. Very comfy jersey fabric. They're green and I spiced them up with a tweed green/beige/blue kitten heel shoe and a bbay blue top. I hope I match.
It was chilly here this morning! I had to slap on a light jacket when I headed out the door! YEAH FALL!!!!
Well, it's off to do my one task for the day...set up a meeting. This is going to take ALL day to do because none of the key players like eachother and no one wants to meet with the other one.
If I don't get back, goodmorning, goodafternoon and goodnight!!
Thanks, Arabella, you always have a comforting word to say to me and I appreciate it! I do think my "baby" ('cause that's what he was) will maybe at least visit the vehicle now 'n again to say hello!
Found out I have fewer points on my driving record from the accident than I thought. Long story, should have checked a lot sooner, but I didn't wanna know!
Yes, Empress, your "baby" would want you to enjoy that SUV and I think he'll be driving with you on those long and lonely jaunts through the mountains.Glad the points are less than feared.
Can't believe Sydney is at ONE already!!Enjoy, enjoy! Hope the interview goes well.
Glad you're doing better, wsw. I think Fall helps every ache and pain.
Amarantha, what kind of SUV is it? Very cool to have that connection with your dear one!
Frogger, ONE already? Let us know how the party goes.
Someone, I think it was Amarantha, was asking about my peanut butter "fudge". Not fudge really, but a good stand-in for candy, if you want something satisfying and not really sweet. Here 'tis: Empty a jar of all-natural peanut butter into a bowl. Then add whey protein powder, raisins, oatmeal or granola, some cocoa or carob, dried fruits. Add the whey protein and cocoa until it holds together. Then press it into a pan, or roll it into balls and chill.
{I formed the mixture into balls and called them "body-builder truffles". Clever, no?}
It's a Ford Explorer, E! I didn't even know that was an SUV but I'm told it is ... it's red!
Yes, it was me re the fudge, E, and that looks fabulous, it would taste very sweet to me. I can't eat raisins but apricots might do ... yes, very clever!!! You are a genius. Thanks. I will send this recipe to a friend!! If ya dinna mind, that is?
No I don't mind at all, A! Sorry I don't have proportions for you, it's something I just throw together and it's fabulous!
Still at the same weight. I don't understand...I'm doing everything I can. I'm going to list my menus from the last couple of days. Everybody feel free to tell me where I should tighten up.
TUESDAY
coffee w/ 1/2 and 1/2
