Good Morning,

I'm a bit confused as to what day of the week it is as well. DH is off today but I'm working at least until 2PM-not sure why-but that's what the powers that be decided. I've got my workout in for the day-abs and a short run on the treadmill but with the speed kicked up a notch. I had a great afternoon walk with DH over to the hospital yesterday to see the new baby. We live within a mile of the hospital and there's never a place to park so off we went. The baby is absolutely beautiful. The baby is actually in the room so everyone had a chance to hold him and give him some lovin'.

Ok-I'm headed to the telephone to see if I can get our room reserved and then off to work-hope everyone has an absolutely Fabulous Friday!

Good morning, and TGIF for sure!

Sitting at my computer at work and it's quieter here than I imagine a morgue would be. I plan to get a lot of things in shape for the rush that Monday will be, so I'll be more productive today than I've been in a long while.

My workout tonight will be cardio and FB weights; blew off the weight work Thursday in favor of a very pleasant visit with my ILs at their place. I'm happy to say that my MIL seemed in much better spirits than she was even over Christmas. Maybe the arrival of the New Year has made her take stock and make peace with things the way they are going to be instead of the way they were. She has a warm, lovely smile that has been missing the last several weeks; it was more prominent yesterday. I don't think it was put on for our sakes, either. Here's hoping...

Supposed to snow here today - just a couple of inches - but the forecast is for it to warm up and for the snow to turn to slop in time for the evening commute. Then it's supposed to rain in spurts all over NE for the next 5 days. Ugh. Guess the outdoor lights will stay right where they are.

Lunch is a grilled chicken salad at a nearby pub. Anyone have an M.J. O'Connor's nearby? It's a pretty nice chain - more Irish pubby feeling than a chain should be. Grilled salmon with a pile of roasted veggies for dinner. DH and Mrs. Smith are conspiring against me; there's a coconut custard pie in the fridge that really needs some attention. I'll give it a little of mine.

Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning!


We had a very nice day with my parents here yesterday. Had our fill of blackeyed peas, ham, rice, cornbread, and cranberry orange relish cake (YUM! ) while we watched football and chatted. My poor Gators looked SO bad. Don't know what was up with them. The Gator Bowl went the way I wanted it, and it's always fun to see the shots of Jacksonville from the blimp. The Super Bowl will be here in 2005, and you wouldn't believe the frenzy that is causing unless you've lived in a town where they've had one, and then you've experienced it.


Tim got the outside lights down and the garage fairly cleaned up yesterday. We're still in a quandry as to what to do about the indoor trees, especially the big one. I have started putting away other indoor decorations, but still have a lot to do. We got more storage bins yesterday.


I have an appt. this morning that sort of messes up getting things done around here in the middle of the day. I will walk later and am thinking about checking out the Y this afternoon.


TGIF!

I'm completely confused as to what day it is!!!I think I have 5 more days to go on this flock of birds but then I think it's Monday and I only have 2-3.Of course the company will probably change something anyway.I was suppose to be looking at 3-4 weeks of absolute down time to get some improvements made in a couple houses.That meant no work for me in CL or at least not so much.But last week a company guy called and asked would I consider working 2 houses.So instead of down time I'm working half my usual work load which isn't so bad.Still what's a girl got to do to get some time off???

Yesterday I did well with fitness. Today I have another walk planned with my sister and wil do some UB later.Eating is going ok but it's my biggest downfall and what I will need to really focus on.

Ok, define extra nice and is this ALL DAY?????:)

I did 45 minutes of step aerobics, and 10 minutes of abs. Both from my Cher tape (which has the best music of *any* workout tape)

I said the same thing yesterday, I've had to look at the newspaper to determine the day.

I know what you mean about being confused. I keep thinking today is Sunday. Yesterday was Friday all day for some reason. I'm so confused. But sooner or later I'll be right if I keep on thinking "Sunday".

Yesterday was a good workout day for me, I got in my water and my journaling. Today's weather is absolutely gorgeous for January 2nd. Their callin' for highs near 60 today so I'll be out and about on my bike or take an extra long walk today. Gotta enjoy it while I can. It's supposed to get cold and downright nasty out tomorrow with maybe some snow so I'll be getting out the step. Did upper body weights yesterday so I'll go all out on the lower body today. My eating yesterday was good, but today I've already messed it up by going to Micky D's for breakfast. I love that McGriddle...sigh. But I'll be good the rest of the day, I swear. Went to the store this morning and stocked up on good stuff to eat and believe it or not, I didn't buy a single thing with chocolate in it. I must be getting sick or something...

Have a great day. Peace out...
