Good morning everyone! Happy first day of summer!!!


Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.

I'm thankful for the beautiful sunny day we have ahead of us. Thankful for family, friends and good health. Today is my last day at the GH so mixed bag of feelings. So thankful to have had the time I had there. Very thankful for the wonderful customers I've gotten to know. And now I'm thankful to have the chance to make a change and slow my life down a bit. Is it the right decision? For now it is.

Miss P

Good Morning,

Bright blue skies, sunshine and much lower humidity this morning and the next few days are supposed to be lovely as well.

I do feel like I need to crawl back into bed this morning. I have been so tired all week where I literally feel like I could fall asleep standing up. I was woken up about 4:15 but the wierdest pain. I thought I was dreaming but soon realized it was quite real. Then I thought it was the from the position I was sleeping in. I got up and wandered around the house for a few minutes and gradually it disappeared. It was just wierd. I went back to bed for a few minutes and really didn't want to think about going down to the basement. I did make it down there but it was one of those times where it was more going through the motions and there certainly wasn't a lot of motivation or energy to make it much of a success.

There is so much to do around here. I'm having company early Saturday afternoon for DH's younger sister's birthday and DH's birthday. I had a to do list so that I could check off things to accomplish during the week-so far there hasn't been a dent made in it. I really wish I didn't feel so completly exhausted.

Tonight's menu will be a fettucini alfredo recipe from Cooking Light and then out to do the nightly dog walking thing. I hope to get something accomplished off my to do list this evening.

Should be a quiet day in the office today. Miss Sunshine is off for the next two days. She's done pouting and sulking so she's back to trying to make nice with everyone again but these episodes are just getting old at this point.

Thankfuls-

summertime and longer days

sitting outside

new recipes

this board and the wonderful women that are part of it

home and family

Well time to get moving. I think that I'm actually going to lay down for a few minutes before heading into work. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning message as usual Miss Patty, thank you! You crack me up, I hope you last day at the GH is nice and calm. Sorry I have been irregular with my posting this week. Lots of stuff on my desk, and lots of stuff at home. Katie finished up her finals yesterday and Rob has had me busy with prom/graduation stuff. He got his tickets, his cap and gown and he going down that isle so that is my biggest THANKFUL for this week/year/life. I get all teary eyed when I talk about it. I am going to be a mess tonight and tomorrow night. I have pretold the ladies I will be out of the office at 2:00. I have stuff to do around the house even though we are not taking the group pictures here. Our friends are coming/driving Kristen over around 5:00 for some pictures here and then heading over to Stevens (?) house for the group shots and limo pick up. I know I am more excited then Rob and I know he is only going to please me. He could really care less, he might be thinking differently if he had a girl friend but he is just going. But I know he will enjoy himself and he will look back 10 or 20 years from now with good memories.


I was upset with WW on Tuesday night, I gained yet another pound and I have to say this is really getting old. I have been attempting this for months now and all I have to show is 2 pounds. That is alot of money and time. I will be the first to admit I do not stay 100% on program but I have to say I do not eat anywhere or anythink like I used to. So why is this so hard, heck I do not even drink anymore. Maybe an occasional glass of wine or margarihita........like once a month. Depressing, very depressing. Anyhow I just finished my egg whites with mushrooms and canadian bacon and my morning tea. I have already had my shower and I just need to dry my hair, do my makeup and get dressed. I walked at 6:40 to 7:10 this morning. I even pushed myself and jogged 1 block. I have to say that was hard, it hurt. I went grocery shoping last night and loaded up on vegtables and fruit so I will restart yet again!


My thankfuls then I need to get going.........Robs graduation and prom, the beautiful weather we are supposed to have today and tomorrow. Our trip from the boys. The back yard is looking like a back yard again, grass growing and blue stones down. Friends and family. My husband who although I want to bury at times does love me and I him.


Have a good one ladies I will forward tonights pictures later.......for those who want to see!

Hello ladies,

I am thankful for my health, and my strong body, mind and spirit which I need to tend and take care of, through good choices in what I eat, what I do, what I think, and what I say.

I am thankful for my dear family, my SO and son who surround me with love and support all the time.

I am thankful that I am a mom, because loving my son is just one of the best parts of being me....

and I am thankful for this beautiful day.

Good Morning

1st day of summer!!! Longest day of the year right???its all downhill from here..LOL just kidding..Being in the pacific Northwest, The day with the most LIGHT ROCKS!!and guess what Its NOT RAINING as predicted..I am thrilled. I am a sun addict..I am fretting with worry whether or not we'll get sun for our vacation starting in 10 days..But oh well, we'll see. Summer means for me I get to GO OUTSIDE every weekend...whether its for a beer festival, drag races, music festivals/concerts etc etc..this county comes to life in the summer

Thankful thursday?? well, Im thankful that a 7 week Tiff with an Online friend has pretty much been resolved YAY..It feels like a huge weight has been lifted..Its never gonna be the same...But at least I have "access' to my other online friends i had been missing..Online friendships are weird..sometimes things get read or understood in the ..wrong wayOh Im also thankful that this week the stress has been reduced 80% from normal Boss vacation weeks..thank god

cl deb..I LOVE all your thankfuls:)..Ok on the WW thing..they charge yu every week huh?? that is one reason i never wanted to join..It must be very frustrating to spend that money every week and not always see results..You gave up drinking too?? wow..One reason I did atkins is because it allowed me to drink and lose weight at the same time..You Gotta lIVE!! this is about a lifestyle change..Not a diet always right?? You've been doing great eating well, maybe you are not getting enough nourishment? Your body might be in starvation mode..with all the activities and stress you have going on Your body Might be producing all that cortisol(sp?) and putting any weight loss to a hault..anyway..I hope you figure out whats goin on..Ive been at this a long time and have had some very frustrating plateaus and just want yu to know we are here for yu
