Hey Ladies.

Thanks for all your kind words. :)

Marti - Yes I know. I've worked them all, Days, Nights, Mid-shift. So I know how it is. But yes Nights certainly does get neglected and we usually get blamed for everything as well! Its easy to blame people you never see! lol.

I am debating about taking a personal day (night) off tomorrow. I know I should just be a good "little worker bee" and go in. But tomorrow is the night we have extra coverage so if any night to take off, it would be tomorrow. (Thursday). Just feel like I could really use it. Well I certainly have time to think it through, as I don't have to be there until 6 p.m. Thursday.

Well thanks for listening to me blabber. lol.

:hug:

Morning!
 

It is a GLOMMY day out there, supposed to get big thunderstorms, so much for my walk outside today and to top it off a BORING staff meeting this afternoon, yuck!

Sassy... how was Pirates?

Angie... whoohoo on the 2.2!!!!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:
LOL we joke that I just need to put velcro on my leg as then it would be easier for them to hang on -- that is soooooo funny!

------------
Any big plans for the weekend? I am cleaning, hitting the library & not sure what else. Wishing I got to take off next week instead of in 2 weeks.

Hi Sue, Jane, Katie, Jules, Alex & Kathy & anyone else I missed. :hug:

Had a hectic day and I am feeling kind of "blah" again. Geeze, I wish this bug would either come or go, preferably go.
Nothing terribly interesting going on....maybe something brewing. :)

Bubble pizza is so good and easy. Take 2 cans of biscuits, cut each in 4, place in a Pam sprayed 13 x 9 pan. Meanwhile brown a lb. of ground beef, drain, add a jar (14 oz.) of pizza sauce. Spoon onto biscuits. Bake at 350 for 25 min. Add cheese..Mozz. and cheddar. Bake until cheese bubbles.
I actually use 1/2 lb. each of ground beef and sausage. I also add mushrooms, onions, black olives, peppers, or anything else I can think of. The biscuits might not even cover the pan when you lay them in there, but they will still puff up and do okay. Make sure to drain the meat real well.

Not doing individuals...gotta go get this house cleaned up.

Um..no, I didn't think to take pictures of the shirtless bods. Sorry.

Have a nice w/e if I don't get back in here.

Robin, Pirates was pretty good. I don't think as good as the 1st of course, but it was pretty good. Kiera kicks some butt in this movie! Go Girl! lol. :cheer:

My plans for the weekend? Hmmmmmm. Maybe cleaning? No, no, maybe going shopping? Noooooo...........Hmmmmm what to do? Oh yeah that is right, I will be working! lmao.

Have a Great Night Ladies!

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Today was busy and tomorrow will be, too.

Angie - :cp: WTG on the loss!!

Everyone else - hi and :hug:

Later.....

Hi everyone

Just popping in really quickly, as I have to get a few things done still.

Marti, Jhanai is a very pretty girl. Looks just like her mom. Wow Sony sounds like it was the perfect (or as close as you can get) place to work.

Jane, how old is Caylin? What a sweetheart. She knows how to make her mom feel good now, because soon she will want to move in with Grandma.

Sue sorry your not feeling well. That pizza sounds really good. Thanks for the recipe. It sounds like it is something that would be goods for the kids to make.

Angie WTG on the loss. Where do you work now?

Robin you have a bowflex? My son wants one. Did you see the commercials where you can have a bikini body in 6 weeks?

Sassy we have a night shift at our work also. There is only 2 workers on our night shift. They leave nice little gifts of dead mice all over my office for me to find in the morning.

Michelle how are you doing?

Hello to everyone else.

Must run and feed all the critters, and do a little cleaning and laundry.

Chat later.

Morning - I couldn't sleep last night so I am dragging my butt big time. Last time I saw the clock was 1:45 and I have to get up by 4:30 UGH.

Kathy... Yep I have the Bowflex Ultimate XLTU. I do like it, I just don't really use it anymore. As far as a bikini bod in 6 wks for 20 min a day? LOL yea right. But I am more toned up but I doubt I will ever do the bikini thing again mainly due to having kids :)

Back in a bit... hoping everyone here leaves early so I can sneak out and go home LOL

Good morning, ladies,

I really should be busy, but I wanted to come here before I get too far behind. :dizzy:

Julie - you first! I hope all has gone as well as can be expected at the funeral, and that you made it home safely. I know you said you'd probably sleep all day, so I hope you get rested. I've been thinking of you and your family. :hug:

Sue - did you have terrible storms in the night? We did, and the lightening just went on and on and on, for over an hour. Hope you're over the blahs, and that you aren't getting sick.

Robin - I didn't see a link/ Neal used to go to Houghton Lake for a week every June before we got married, but I've never been. He says there isn't much to do but fish. If I get up that far, maybe we can meet up for lunch one day while he's fishing. I've got a good recipe for blackberry jelly if you want it, but it isn't diet. Sure-Jell does make a box of the sugar free stuff to use. Your vacation will be here before you know it. :yes:

Sassy - you know, except for the Harry Potter movie, I can't really think of any sequel that's as good as the original. Katie went to see Pirates the night it opened, at midnight, and lots of people were dressed up as pirates. One guy even had his car done up like a pirate ship, lol.

Angie - Mary stuck to me like Velcro, too, and would only let me go to work without her. I was a single mom at the time, and if I wanted to go out, I had to wait until she was asleep before the babysitter could come and watch her. Actually, we're still very close - emotionally and physically.

Marti - love your sleek and slim fingers, dahling, lol. I've got the same think going on. Too much time on the computer and not enough in the gym. I feel so much better when I eat clean, so why can't I do that every day? I was feeling sort of leery of the challenge, but think that's what we all need. To be accountable, you know?

Kathy - Caylin is 2 1/2 but honestly, she acts older since she's around her twin 4 y/o sister all day. Cleaning and laundry.... does it ever end??? :dizzy:

Joan Fay - if you're reading this, you've found the right place. I saw where you posted a bio, and so please join us here, where we do our daily check-in. We're glad to have you here! :)

I've got dinner for our guests in the crock pot. Baby carrots, new potatoes and beef roast. We'll also have fresh green beans, and fresh sliced tomatoes, with fresh fruit for dessert. Lots of fresh stuff, lol. Btw, if you haven't used the new crock pot liners, you oughta try them. Just be sure to spray Pam on it first.

Have a good one, ladies. :hug:

Yes, here I am, at the right place
 

Feeling a little bummed today. Not normal for me. After going out to lunch
with a new acquaintance yesterday I'm up two pounds. I really didn't even want to go. The food was healthy and good - I just shouldn't have ordered dessert. The person seemed nice enough - just me.

Maybe I'm bummed because I'm anticipating another trip to the desert. My sister and I need to go and do some more cleaning at my mother's home. I'm not looking forward to it.

For some of you who don't know - my mother passed away in April. In someways it seems like yesterday and then again it seems a long time ago.
I will go tomorrow and get started and my sister will join me on Sunday.
The mobilhome is now ip for sale and the change in title should happen soon.
Honestly I had no idea what is involved when someone passes away. It just goes on and on. There was no will or trust so things are complicated.

The good new is - Lucy no longer has a splint on her little leg. She got a little excited and sprained some soft tissue in the front leg. She is now bouncing around just like normal. A bath and nail trim is in order today.
I would love to take her to the desert with me but my husband likes her home for company when I'm gone.

It is very muggy here - thank goodness it is not too hot or it would unbearable.

So upward on onward. I need to hit the old treadmill - have been off of it for almost a week. Not good.

Everyone have a wonderful weekend. I am glad to be a part of the
"Jaded Ladies"

joan fay:cool:

Hi Ladies!

Jane.. that would be cool if we could meet up if we get the chance. Drats on that link. It is about 30min N of Muskegon & right on Lake Michigan. It is our favorite place to camp :)

Joan.. I am so sorry about your Mom!

Everybody has days too & that weight will come right back off. That is great news on the splint coming off!

I told my dh that when we go on vacation next week he has to snap me when I drool over chocolate & ice cream LOL. Those darn reeces blizzards at the dairy queen are the best until after I eat it anyhow.

My headache is gone thank goodness & I got pulled over! I have very tinted windows as I suffer from Migraines and she didn't want the letter from my dr or eye dr -- I got a warning and was told to go see the Sec. of State to get a form & have it on my license so I won't get tickets in the future (funny how I have had this truck (also done to the car) for 3 years now & never had a problem LOL

Have a fabulous weekend to everyone!!!!! :hug:

Thanks Robin -- What a pain the the patoot - the tinted windows. Oh well do what you need to do to make it legal. And there the ones driving around with no drivers license and no insurance. Go figure. Have a wonderful vacation when you go. Just don't think about the Dairy Queen.
Everyone Have a wonder weekend
Joan Fay

Hey Everybody. This will be a "Quickie" as I'm getting ready for work. *Sigh* lol.

Yes I took a personal day yesterday. I felt blechy and just rested.

Yes I heard people were going to do that opening night. That would have been cool to see. Yeah I think your right, Jane I think the only sequels that are just as good, if not better than the original is the Harry Potters. Well except I didn't like the last one much, it was okay, but wasn't my fav. But they are all still pretty good. ;) But the Pirates movie was pretty good.

Joan - Sorry to hear about your mom.........:hug:

And today is a beginning to a new day I say. I wanted to ask you ladies a question, if I could? What is your favorite healthy snack foods and how much of them do you eat? Also if anybody could please give me a typical menu that you eat, just to give me an idea? Sorry if I have asked this before. But today is a beginning to a new day so I want to really try again.

Also wanted to ask about Oatmeal. How much of it do you eat? I've been wanting some and also what all do you put in it? I was thinking about apples and cinnamon, only making my own here at home, not buying the pre-packaged stuff??

I think today I'm going to get a nice salad. Also what do you gals do with Cabbage that is healthy to eat? I've been wanting some..............Also one last Question...................What kind of Yogurt do you get? Been wanting some of that too, but don't want the high fat, high sugary kinds and also want something that tastes good, of course. :)

I would look them up on google @ work tonight but they have pretty much locked the internet down and by the time I get home from work I'm pretty bushed. So if you all wouldn't mind giving me just a couple ideas, I would glady appreciate it!!!!!!!!!

You may PM me if you like or PM me with your email addy and I'll email you. (won't be until tomorrow morning though when I get off of work or tomorrow evening before work)

Thanks so much in advance! :hug:
