Good Morning Everyone,

Love that quote this morning Miss P!

After some very nice sunshiny days (yes, Sunshine comes in 2 varieties in my own little world) it's rather gray and bleh this morning and humid feeling too. The house is very stuffy and think that's why I woke up with a headache this morning. Hopefully it will wear away as the day proceeds onward and upward.

My initial plan for a workout had to be changed as the DVD player which I had been told was up and running-well it wasn't so much. I quickly changed to Plan B which included my 2 mile WATP tape and weights.

It's been very quiet at work as of late and not sure what I have that's going to keep me busy all day. Between Blondie and myself the filing is pretty much caught up which is a real rarity. Slow days at work make me very tired and sleepy!

I have a pork loin defrosted for dinner now all I have to do is figure out what I want to do with it!

Thankfuls:

My beautiful white lilac bush. It's so pretty and smells so good.

The past few days of beautiful weather.

All of you amazing women!

Guess it's time to finish making myself presentable for the day at work and perhaps just maybe finish up the laundry cluttering the top of my dryer!

Hope everyone has a terrific Thursday!

Good morning everyone! Well the weather here is not full of sunshine, rather dreary looking. I do believe rain is in the forecast and I guess I should find that out for sure since I leave windows and skylights open when I head to the office. My number 1 thankful is that my back is much better then Monday & Tuesday. Other then the birth of my children and their c-sections I have never felt pain like that nor do I wish too again. Time to take serious action and stick with it. Especially reading how well Margie has done. Funny you listen to commercials on TV about how this one lost 23 pounds in 3 weeks and that one lost 12 pounds in 3 days and you get confused. Then you pick up a magazine like Prevention and they say you can shed 10 pounds in a year by just giving up your high calorie beverage. Its enough to make a woman mad. I think I get fustrated because for 95% of my day to day routine I choose the healthier foods. My choices are smarter, my water intake is great and yet I still struggle. Nancy posted about those sweet craving.........Rhonda added have those WW snacks.......all helpful hints. Yet why does it not go away, I guess I could mean those XY's in our lives that add to the stress but I really mean those lovely little pounds that hang on for dear life. Exercise is key and in my heart I know this is true and the only way I can ever get this weight to go away is to exercise. Maybe my back going out was a message??? Now time to heal it and learn from it. OK off my soap box now! Like I said weather is not the greatest but I do hope the rain stayes away. I am going to bring my sneakers to work. I am wearing a skirt today so I will look pretty silly at lunch time in my skirt and sneakers but the walk will do me good. Just finished my tea and my oatmeal. Not sure what lunch will be I need to figure that out now and dry my hair. Make the bed and finish up around here. I hope everyone has a wonderful day ahead of them. Today I am going to let it flow and see where it takes me. Oh son is looking for his work shirts...........just maybe if one of those boys offered to do laundry..............oh well let it flow. Have a great one everybody!

Good morning... Quick checkin once again this morning..Off to work for another long day... Feeling a little better but yet a little frustrated on not being able to make the most out of these wonderful sunny days... Not sure what my hours will be this summer but I am hoping for shorter days.. I know the hs girl is taking to the boss this weekend just not sure what she is saying... I need to write more days off.. :)


Last night the wine tasting went well.. Very laid back.. These are great friends... We are planning a possible Fall winery/something road trip.

Hi everyone,
I haven't been here in a few days, but in reading, y'all are keeping pretty busy. J-Deb, I noticed that you were using teeth whitners. I don't know if it was on the news everywhere, or if it's just a little story here in Houston, but yesterday I heard on the news on a couple of different channels that teeth whitners can make your teeth darker. I don't remember the details, but thought I'd pass it along. I'd thought about using one myself, but that kind of made me change my mind.

I did, actually, I did part of, my pilates DVD one day last week. It was "cardio" pilates. I haven't tried it again.

Anyway, I had the rest of my MRI on Monday. My dr had given me some Tylenol 3 for pain since my back hurts when I lay flat for too long. I had planned on falling asleep. But I couldn't sleep since I couldn't breath very good through my nose.(I asked my allergist for a new nose spray yesterday.) I'm anxious to see the results. I had gotten a CD of my MRI and ct scan taken in March to take to he urologist and he let me keep it after he looked at it. My right ovary is about 6 or 7 times bigger than my right. 4 drs think it's endometriosis. I think that's what it is also. I'd ready to get something done.

I got stuff together to make me a compost heap yesterday. I took the shovel to my backyard and started to dig but the ground is much harder than I thought it would be considering all the rain we had for several days. I'm determined to do this on my own w/o asking dh. I may water it down today then dig immediately. Dh was looking at some of the things I've been saving to put in it. His first, and only question was, "Won't it stink?" I'm having my son make "spears" out of the 4 large dow sticks I got so they'll be easier to stick in the ground, then attach chicken wire to. He and his friend have made a couple of spears out of smaller ones. Why do they need spears? I told ds that the just cannot aim them at anyone. I think they're kind of doing lawn darts. I told dh he must be going to Gilligan's Island (you remember, the natives that showed up every once in a while). Ds and his friend are just silly teenagers. I guess he works so hard at school, he has to be silly at home. (He's ranked #2 out of 972.)

I'm thankful for so much:
school's almost out
might be getting endo taken care of (finally, after dealing with this round of it for almost 2 years.)
beautiful sunny days - we've had 2 in a row, and it's looking like 3
health - we're all pretty healthy, nothing serious
I feel really good not eating meat any more, and trying to by things with "no animal testing"
freedom to worship as I choose
