Good morning everyone. One year we had an ice storm on Easter and 70 degrees on Christmas Day. I thought I would never again

The alarm goes off at 4:45 the body actually getting out of the bed is more like anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes later! If I actually got up when the alarm went off I'd really be getting great workouts in!

I put my cooking directions in the other post from yesterday. Do your stores carry Uncle Ben's rice? I threw the box out but I think it might be a quicker cooking version of brown rice and it has microwave instructions on the side of the box.

Good Morning,

Another pretty day here although feeling a bit like summer out there and by tomorrow the humidity is sneaking back in. One weather feature I could do without!

What I have on can certainly make me feel better. Sometimes it is just the color or a fun necklace or a really cute pair of shoes that can an outfit a bit more fun that will make feel that I look good today! I actually have picked up tips from shows like What Not To Wear that no matter what your body shape you can find things that look good on you and make you feel better about yourself.

Down to the basement this morning for a date with the treadmill. Played around with the speed and incline this morning. Also worked on those stretches for the knees and hip that I've been neglecting for awhile.

Off to the paying working world. Never know what to expect lately. You can expect a quiet day and be met with complete chaos or go in expecting the worst and have the day move smoothly. Still no official word on whether we have someone hired or not. There have been a few "unofficial" conversations but neither one of the bosses have felt it necessary to fill us in. Meanwhile one secretary and five attorneys-not a real great ratio. We figure we're both going to be gray and/or bald if they don't get someone in there!

Nothing much else going on here. I have some sauce and meatballs in the refrigerator for dinner tonight which will make dinner an easy fix. Dog walking activity after dinner is done. Washer and dryer are doing their thing and if I feel so inclined I'll finish that chore up this evening. Since part of it includes my laundry I guess I'll at least finish up that load. If the rest is done well the rest of the family can be thankful!

That's it from my neck of the woods. Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday!

Susan

Your comments about how we dress according to our mood/body image is so true. Too many times I throw on whatever's handy, because I feel it just doesn't matter no matter what I do. I need to stop that. The camo cargo pants I got for Zumba are low cut, which hasn't been me in quite a while. They are a jr. size. Anyway, I decided I'd just wear a long enough top over them and eventually I WILL have the middle to not be ashamed if my shirt happens to come up.


Laughed out loud again about your version of someone's compliment. It can be hysterical when we think we hear things that other people didn't say. We were at Rob's friend's house for his party when someone did that, and I almost shot drink out my nose!!


It's raining off-and-on here STILL. I'll be getting ready to go have lunch and spend some time with Dad. I can take his goodies and the hassock for him. Hope he'll like it.


Tonight is Zumba, which I always need. I was trimming shrubs at dusk last night and told a neighbor walking by about it, so she's thinking of going tonight too.


I had planned to go to bed a little earlier last night, but got involved in watching "Dr. 990210" and wound up going to bed at 2 AM. I have got to get on a better schedule. I watched most of the "Dancing with the Stars" premiere. That young girl from the Cheetah Girls was very good.


Better get a move on and get dressed. Found out last night our home phone isn't working, so need to put a call in to the phone co. before I forget.
