Howdy all, and a happy Saturday to you all!
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday TKMom. And many happy returns of gold charms on thatlovely bracelet.
This is a week that I decided on a short-term goal. I found a place that does $20. pedicures -jacuzzi foot bath with salts, massive shiatsu massage chair, multiple types of lovely lotions rubbed on the tootsies, polish, lower leg massage. Ahhhh
. So, when I lose 3 pounds (starting at 251) I give myself permission to get another pedicure.
Jeanne -WTG on losing that #2!!
You don't want that nasty candy anyhow. It just ruins the enamel on your lovely teeth. Leaves a horrid aftertaste. (or is that just me?) Perhaps you could calculate a few candy points in, decide in advance what to have ( and how much) set it aside and have it only when your shift is over. (sings "Anticipation" song under her breath)
As for the foreign object in the chips, not really sure on that point. I certainly don't want to diss Frito-Lay. I worked for their credit union many, many moons ago and got to know how hard those plant workers try to keep everything up to standards. I would guess that it was a burnt bit of skin (potato, that is), but it was fairly large and noticeable. And might not be a bit of potato at all.
Wow, SpclK lost alot, too!! You girls truly rock!! I am getting really inspired.
My boss spent part of yesterday morning analyzing why I want to quit. I love the man, but he is bi-polar and it shows -not violent, but definitely manic/depressive/schizo-adaptivo. I have watched him try to destroy his business for the past 5 years and wonder each day if this is the week that we lock the doors forever. Each year, someone close to himhas bailed him out, not realizing at the time what was really going on. Or that their money was a donation rather than a short-term loan. It doesn't help to rag on him, he just gets more obstinant. So, I repeated what I told him last Friday. That my hubby is working full-time and has two other parttime gigs that eat up huge chunks of time. That I missed spending the summer with my daughter. That I want to take some college courses and catch up on all the household projects that are calling my name. Then I turned the tables on him. And said that it is in his best interest to find someone immediately for my position and not mope around thinking that I will still be on call. That the current duties of the job include more detail than when I hired on 5 years ago and I should be training someone right this minute. He agrees, but he has huge trust issues. I foresee him waiting until August 11th to fill my position. And expecting me to come back after the 12th (my last day) to train. Which I might. He did offer to pay me hourly and a commission to man the remote office that sells our playscapes. He has a point, I am THE playscape guru. But doing that would really not create more time for me, even with the reduced hours it requires.
Sorry for the novel again!! Love you all -have a super weekend!
