A very brisk morning here. In fact, I do believe that the heat is coming up in the house. It is November so I guess that shouldn't surprise me.
It's Friday and so very glad and it's payday! I'm looking forward to tomorrow. My gf and I are taking a bus trip to Lahaska, PA to Peddler's Village. There are shops that respresent different eras of America and craftsmen demonstrating and showing their crafts.
Yesterday was just a bad day at work and hoping that today will be a better one. Not sure whether it's a full moon or whether Halloween spilled over into the next day.
I was hoping to be able to pick up my new glasses and sunglasses but apparently they won't be ready until the beginning of next week.
Nancy-the definition of a Yodel or a Swiss Roll as some companies call them are a chocolate cake that's rolled up with cream filling in it and covered in chocolate and they come in a two pack and we know my theory on leaving one in the pack! Needless to say the aider and abettor who placed them on my desk won't know that I placed them back in the box untouched and out of sight and out of mind!
Patty-thoughts and prayers for your friend and her Mom.
Nothing much else shakin'around here. Best better get moving so that 5PM can get here! TGIF everyone!
I happened on this board only a month ago and already I'm starting to feel at home. It's sort of funny, I've read that one becomes more in tune with one's self and more 'real' over 40. I hadn't noticed that until this year (I'm 46). I've stopped apologizing for my shortcomings and just accept that I'm fallible. I'm so much fun to be with and I don't follow a lot of the "thou shalt behave thisaway" rules in life. I sometimes wear low-cut shirts & crack dirty jokes at work. I've told off many a male co-worker who took my intelligence for granted (or worse tried to undermine me because they felt threatened).
I screen my calls - even from my daughter, and I don't apologize for it; I know why I do it, and that's all that matters :).
I still follow a lot of old-fashioned rules about dressing (I never wear jeans to a restaurant). I am fiercely loyal to my friends, and am OK with the fact that I don't have tons of friends, but a few really good ones. I'm opinionated, sensitive, and wear my heart on my sleeve.
And, I'm proud of those things.
It really is nice that "I don't feel like I have to come here and post that each day I run 10 miles, lift weights and eat carrots."
as usual..your timing is perfect princess!! A Pledge to be ourselves!! I Just posted something iN My myspace diary about staying away from the negative people and who am I trying to Impress and why dont they like me..blah blah blah... I went all these years without any GF's and then had some Online GF's on a message board for 4 years and all the sudden all 7 of them dont like me?? whatever! Im just being myself!
Been missing everyone and I wanted to pop in before I was completely forgotten. Today is Friday and yes I am home although I did pop into my office at 8 for just one hour. I stayed dressed in my sweats and pony tail just so I knew I could not stay, lol. Have a closing going down at noon and as of 4 yesterday I still did not have numbers to give my clients. They were faxed over after 5 and I wanted to relay the info to him before 9 so he could get to the bank early. Job done! Our weather has been beautiful as I am sure Susan and Grace have been saying. Although they claim some chilly air is on its way. My mustang has been placed into the garage with her cover for the winter and I am using the 2002 Explorer that the boys redid for me. Still doing my WW, just harder then ever and walking 4 to 5 mornings a week. I can say I lost 4 pounds these past two weeks and that is a good feeling. Doing some cleaning and laundry this morning then a shower and packing. Tonight is Rob's award dinner and I will be heading out with my boys around 2:00. Tomorrow is Robs final day of racing and I will be there to watch and cheer him on one final time. Hard to believe that my boys have done this for almost nine years. Just another chapter in life, right? Katies horse show season is done............my pocket book tells me so, although she would love to yet another one or two, it aint going to happen. Robs is winding down his first semester of college and he has done well with his grades. Yeah! He just did his schedule for the spring that will allow him more time to work. He has had very limited work hours with going to school everyday. I will be happy to see him back to working 2 or 3 days a week. Billy just traded in his 24ft trailer for a 40ft gooseneck trailer. Our family racing just keeps getting bigger and bigger, lol. I doubt he will ever move out........looks like I will never have a spare room. Business is slow these past two weeks, which always cause my husband to go into a tailspin and start to worry. I think once our weather changes business will pick up. I guess that just about fills everyone in with my life..........how about yours? Patty, did I read you were chickenless right now? When does Ryan finish classes and has he talked about CA anymore? Donna, way to go on your Red Sox's wining although I know you prefer football. Wasn't Brady in the new recently? Nancy, still working the farm? When do things shut down with harvesting? Rhonda, Riley is missing again? So sorry, have you contacted the local animal hospitals and shelters? How are things with Tim? Is Rob going to school now or working, or just getting ready to head into the Coast Gaurd? Karen, I remember reading something about the company moving..........all done? Husband working out of the house and now you are back to preparing 3 meals a day................did I read that right? Please tell me it aint so! Margie, still focused on you and you are doing a great job. Loosing 70 pounds in just a little over a year is wonderful. We need new pictures. Everyone else.................I hope all is well with you and your families. I have so much to catch up on and I highly doubt I will get to it today. Please know that I think of you all each day and you are what helps keep me focused, trying and not quitting.
So toss out that figurine from your loser ex and put out objects that you associate with a positive experience. Did you have an amazing time with your girlfriend in Paris? Hang up a framed postcard of the Eiffel Tower.
Hard to believe your Rob is almost finished his first semester already. My Rob is "living the good life", surfing as often as possible (especially with 2 storms off the coast), and waiting to take his next test in mid-November.

Well said and brought a big smile to my face :).

Nancy, after you've worked a 4-day week, now you know how I feel about Fridays.
