~*~ Finite Friday ~*~

Good morning everyone. BNL, I'm trying to make some sense of your office situation but I can't. I wish things were better there. Cl-Deb, sounds like you had a good day and sounds like Katie did a lot to help make it that way. On the flo thing, I went thru something like that last year but now it seems like I'm going in the opposite direction.


Sometimes the only way we can see the beauty of life is to remind ourselves that it is finite. Gandhi said, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow." His words are a potent reminder that living life more fully is not about pushing ourselves harder or shouldering more burdens, but about experiencing all the wonderful richness life has to offer.

I found that yesterday and just loved. I think it's a wonderful thought to keep in mind.Sometimes we're so proud of ourselves when we push hard, and

Patty, I wouldn't mind having sunny 50s back.

Good Morning,

The sun was out a few minutes ago but looks like it has disappeared and it's cold! What happened to the spring like temperatures?

5 hours today-that's what I have in the work day or at least that's what head honcho said a few days ago. I'm going to be so glad to see this work week finally come to an end. There's really nothing more to say about the work scene. Supposedly it's our "haven" from our personal life-I'm not sure where they came from. I'm going to have to decide to either put up and shut up about everything going on around me and just go there and do my job and not speak to anyone or to start combing the ads and see what else is out there. I'm very confused.

Nothing much else on the agenda. DD is headed down for the Easter weekend. Her first work week and it was a four day one-not bad! Hopefully I'll get my check and to the bank before the bank closes and 3 and then I think I'll stop by the house and pick her up and then I think we'll make a stop at Costco and Target. I'm really looking forward to the weekend.

Well time to get my stuff together and head out. I have to make a stop at DS place of employment to drop something off for him and then off to the work hole.

Thanks everyone for your support the past few days. DH and the girls have been great source of suuport as well and I really appreciate it.

TGIF everyone!

Princess, we're either getting the same emails or reading the same magazines...I just read the Ghandi quote yesterday too.

Hi, all...I would just love to have an 80 degree day or just some warm sunshine for a couple of days in row. Doesn't look like it is going to happen any time soon. I feel like I got hit by a mack truck after doing the 4 one hour classes yesterday. Could barely get out of bed! Obviously, I am taking today off from exercise since I have to teach 2 classes tomorrow. Thank goodness one of them is Pilates.

SUSAN...I am befuddled too about what is going on in your office and yes, sunshine has more than a few screws loose. That associate doesn't seem to be much better. Change is scary, but maybe something better will fall in your lap. I have to give you tons of credit for putting up with it for so long. There is really something very wrong with her.

Can't believe it is Good Friday already and Lent is almost over and Easter is around the corner. WE will be going to brother in laws for Easter! First year in a long time that I am not cooking. Actually I still am since they are having ham and I don't eat it so I am going to bring homemade veggie lasagna and say it if for health reasons (too much fat and sodium and I want to use up my quota on dessert since I gave up everything for Lent). Too bad I am allergic to shell fish otherwise I could eat the shrimp they will have also.

Hope you all have nice weekends planned and get to see some family and good friends.

Grace

Keep on keeping on!

Well better late then never. I slept in this morning until 9:00 and Katie made me some tea. Nice way at start the day. Had some puffed rice cereal with some fresh strawberries and blueberries on top. Made my bed, took a shower then I ran with my girl friend to the airport to retrieve my bosses car. He left for vacation until Wednesday and Bill is doing the service on it. So he drove it to Islip with his family early this morning and I went around noon to bring it back in town. Stopped and saw Bill while I was at the shop. Katie has a friend over and well in a minute I am going to make some tea and go read. I did our grocery shopping yesterday, I picked up our leg of lamb for Sunday's dinner at the butcher shop ($79.01 by the way...ouch!) and then enjoyed some warmed up spagetti squash. I will be taking Katie and Megan to the barn around 3:30 for they have a riding lesson at 4:00. My back is hurting and I am guessing Aunt Flo is responsible. Low key the rest of the day. Maybe a run to Target tonight for last minute stuff to put into these Easter baskets. What does one put into a 17 and 22 year old boys basket???? Hope everyone has a fun day. Our weather forecast all over does not look to nice, where is Spring?

If your new Y is big into Zumba the way the ones here are, I know you'll love it!


I feel as though we need a map with the caption "Where in the world is J-Deb today!" on it to keep track of you! LOL!

Guess I've gone Zumba crazy. Went to a 6:30 class last night and an 9:30 AM one today. The great teacher is having a separate private group class south of here tomorrow morning at 9:30, and I'll be going to that one too. Love it! Today, I got the T-shirt I'd sent for. It's fitted, brown, and says "Powered by Zumba" in lime letters. A number of people in the class have tanks or T's.


I had hoped to have the dogs groomed yesterday, but found out they weren't up to date on their shots, so got a late afternoon appt. for those -- $216.00 later, they are caught up on their shots. I think I'm near the $800.00 at the vet for the last week. Sure hope they stay healthy a while. I mean I do anyway, but we could use a break with the vet bills. They'll be groomed Monday, so I'll try to get them by to see Dad.


Spent a couple of hours at the nursing home today. Mom and Tim both came while I was there. I had lunch with Dad. His roomie went home this afternoon. Dad wants to so much. At least we found out there will be a private room available sometime Sunday, so he'll have privacy, more space, a sofa for guests, and a view of grass and trees instead of a concrete courtyard. He doesn't want to be there long enough to have to move, but we're emphasizing that it's just till he can come home. I was going to take Riley to see him today, but the soft carrier I got for her is missing the shoulder strap. That means an extra trip to exchange it.


Talked to Erin today while she was in the Atlanta airport waiting for a return flight. She's been up since 4:30 to go there for some meetings and sounded really tired. They'll get to the nursing home about 2:00 tomorrow, which will give me plenty of time to take that class I want to and get cleaned up first. I have the water park type swimming pool, several outfits and
