Good Evening, Flowers! We are supposed to be getting more 'weather' but so far it has just gotten colder and windier. Today was a frustrating day! Every time I would get started on a project, someone would ask me to do something else! I hate it when I can't finish what I'm doing without being interrupted! Makes me really GRRRRRRY! :crazy:
'Gma' -- I hope you are feeling better by now. Every once in awhile I go to bed and wish I hadn't eaten something or eaten later than usual. I hate that feeling and always vow I'll never do it again, but I usually do! :o Neil Diamond was/is one of my favorites. I miss the programs like the Ed Sullivan show. :( I made a grocery run after school and forgot my list at home on the counter. :mad: If we only didn't have to eat, life would be so simple! :cb: Have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow! Jean -- :wave: from Iowa! |
Good mornig gals! It is truly winter here this morning. We had a rainy day yesterday and pretty cold even some heavy flurries, but too warm to stick. It is very chilly this morning, but supposed to warm up into the 60's by tomorrow! CRAZY!
Jean: I used to get that at the law firm. I would be sitting doing my work and someone would come and ask for help setting up a conference room or helping with some typing of some sort. My desk was across from the kitchen, downstairs copier and the conference room so they thought I was a commodity, I guess. I would get asked constantly to work in the copying center upstairs when the drunk that managed it wouldn't show up for work. I would drag all my work upstairs then I would try and do it and manage the copying center at the same time! The problem besides, the faxes, phones, mail etc was my work was typing and filing and then I had to get into attorney's offices and put things away and I hated doing it when they were in there. Some didn't mind and others were pissy about it as attorneys can be. Actually, the biggest pain in the you know where was this snotty paralegal who thought she should be king of the hill and would try and tell me how to do my work all the time. My boss was the office manager, but litigation legal decisions were made by the litigation partner head and I would always be dragging her sorry butt down there to get him to tell her that I was doing it right and she couldn't have it done the way she wanted. She didn't even work litigation but bankruptcy, but I got stuck working for the witch when her upteenth secretary either quit or asked to be changed. I guess she is still there being a pain in the behind. Boy am I sore from working out again. Got to get the muscles make in some kind of order here! It is more my upper body that is sore from weights than my legs from the treadmill. It will all even out in the end. I have a major goal in mind to get me there. First, we decided not to take any big vacation this year because of wanting to do some expensive things in the condo and secondly we still want to go back to Vegas. With that in mind, we decided to go June 2007 and I will have my 35th class reunion around then too. I was unable to go to our 30th, but went to the 25th. A woman that lived next door to me growing up and was a spoiled brat as a child, sat around and gossiped about me the whole time. I walked up behind her when she didn't know and heard her talking to one of her friends about my size. Now this chick is no shrinking violet. She has been a fatty since kindergarten and at the reunion was at least 75 lbs overweight. Anyway, I would like to go back at my goal weight and make her sick! :lol: She has always been jealous of me because of Jack. She is an old maid, never been married and tries to pretend she has had this glamorous life, when the only thing she did was sell real estate in that area of tiny towns. I am talking Mayberry here ladies. Most of the towns around there were less that 3000 people. My folks were lower middle class with a lot of problems and my dad was an alcoholic. In a town our size, you know what the gossip mill is like. Her mom always made us kids feel like poor white trash and she passed it on to her kids to treat us that way. My school mate just thought she could keep it up into adulthood. I fixed her cookies at the last reunion by telling her off in front of everyone and I will do it again at this next one if I have to. Anyway, hope everyone has a great day today! Keep warm! Faye |
Good Evening, Flowers! I've been to bell choir practice . . . for a whole 20 minutes! We were missing three 'ringers' and with no subs, it is a little tricky to make music! What we are playing next is pretty easy so we'll get by. It was hardly worth the trip into town, let alone getting the music and bells out.
I feel like I'm either coming down with a head cold or a sinus infection. I've had a headache off and on all day . . . sort of like I have a hat on that is too tight. :headache: 'Gma' -- It was cold here this morning but the sun came out and it was 49 degrees on my way home from school. Are you working out with weights, use a video, or what? Once in awhile I will be channel surfing and run across the three people doing the aerobics routine. They make it look so easy. I hope your soreness is gone soon! I don't think I would have lasted long working in the law office where you worked. :no: One of our educated/no common sense teachers fried our main copy machine with a transparency last week. (It also is the printer for one whole section of computers in the English department which was working on research papers.) There is even a big sign saying to use the library copy machine for transparencies! Then after the machine was fixed, someone tried to run a paper clip through and it was jammed up good! :crazy: I need to pick up the clutter and do some dishes that don't go in the dishwasher. Have a terrific Thursday! We have a "professional development" day on Friday so tomorrow is Friday as far as the kids are concerned. That should be interesting. Jean -- :wave: from Iowa! |
Good morning gals! We are back up in the 50's again and it is supposed to be in the 60's today. I had the fan on most of the night for me. It is a little round one and I put is on the floor and turn it on low and let it blow on my head and chest and that keeps me comfortable without freezing Jack to death.
Jean: I just use my CD music (Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons is my favorite) and walk on the treadmill. I had to start out slow again so I am doing between.4 and .45 miles everyday and then do 10 reps with my 5lb weights and I do 4-6 different kinds of lifting with them. You really only need to do weights about twice a week, but I want to jumpstart my metabolism. Guess it worked because tomorrow will be one week and I got on the scales this morning and have lost 10 lbs and Jack has lost 5! I lose weight very quickly when I get off sugared soft drinks, exercise everyday and keep to my plan. We are having a date weekend next Friday and Sat. I booked us into one of the casino hotels. I try to do something like this about once a month when we are dieting as encouragement to us. They have a great indoor swimming pool and exercise equipment so we should be able to get our exercise in. I am also taking deli meat, lett etc for Friday night for dinner with ff chips and diet soda instead of doing a buffet. We can then eat breakfast at one of the all night places and can have cereal or oatmeal or whatever fits, then have a buffet dinner and stay pretty well within our program. We just have to be sensible. Well, I need to get to knitting some baby booties. I have the blanket and hat done for Jack's friend and just need to get a pair of booties done. I will post the pic when I finish the whole thing. Have a great day ladies! Faye |
I could have sworn I posted yesterday. I guess not because I don't see my post! I know I was in here. Perhaps I got side-tracked while in the office? Well.
I'm still on program. I'm still walking as much as I can. I'm still drinking water. I lost .8 this morning at weigh-in. I was hoping for more but I'll take it...or rather get rid of whatever the scales says I've gotten rid of! (Hope that makes sense!) Faye, a big congrats to you (and hubby) for losing this week! 10 lbs. Oh. My. Gosh. And you're exercising! That's wonderful! Have fun for your weekend at the casino. Hubby and I used to do that quite frequently--go to Atlantic City for the weekend--stay in one of the casino hotels. I'm still knitting some fingerless gloves. Now my mother wants a pair! Jean, there are so many nasty bugs around here in the office. It seems likes everyone has some kind of illness. Hope you're feeling better soon. Hi Gloria! I wish I could stay but can't...I have to get back to work. |
Thought I would peek in and post the pic of the baby stuff I made for Jack's friend at work. They actually turned out quite cute even though I liked the yellow blanket better. This stuff is not the easiest to deal with in regards to sewing up seams etc, because of it being so fuzzy.
Gail: Don't stress on the scales. You are better off concentrating on losing size. Everyone have a good afternoon! Faye |
