Good Morning,

Another beautiful day here on LI. It's hot but the unbearable humidity is not along with it. Nancy-glad to see you back. Sounds like a very nice trip that you had

I'm heading north on I-95 this morning. I'm heading out later this morning and I should be back sometime Sunday afternoon. I'm looking forward to the couple of days with DD. I'll be meeting all her friends at their weekly dinner club this evening and then tomorrow night all her work friends are invited to DD's and then a bbq with their friends including Hailey who is the daughter of one of the couples and from her pictures is oh so cute! I think they're some shopping involved as well over the next few days. I haven't taken a road trip by myself for a very long time and actually a little nervous.

It was a nice day yesterday. DD and I spent the day together. She's not around much these days since she's pretty much trying to get herself established at the BF's apartment. It's very different since she's never lived outside the house. She lived at home while attending college and she's finding it a bit strange. Plus the apartment is what I would guess you would call a bachelor pad. The walls are all gray, no curtains and certainly no feminine touches of any kind. DD went out and bought throw pillows for the couch and he wasn't sure what the purpose was and the thought of curtains was a bit much for him. I may have to go over with a paint brush and paint can and some curtain rods! On our shopping excursion I got two great deals-a pair of $98 pants for $19 and a $90 sweater for $24-bottom line sale racks, coupons and a gift card-can't go wrong with that combo! I also found a simple black square necked dress for the wedding next month. I'll be able to wear it either dressed up or dressed down and with events for DD's wedding next summer I'm sure it will come in handy. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but again with the sale rack and the coupon and since it's that little black dress I'm sure I'll get my money's worth.

Trying to get things in order around here before I leave later in the morning. The boys will have undies and socks and work clothes to get them through the weekend. DH has plenty of leftovers in the fridge. Just hoping that everyone remembers to take care of my Otto. DS is usually pretty good about making sure that he gets out for a walk if I'm not able to do it for a couple of days.

Friends of ours saw a job posting for DH. I emailed it for him last night. We'll see if there's any feedback from it.

Thankful for this week of vacation. It's been a nice blend of work and play around here. Thankful for the beautiful weather we've had. Thankful that DS Gf wasn't seriously injured in her accident. Saw pictures of the car-very thankful that she wasn't hit on the driver's side of the car. Thankful for my family and the time that I've been able to spend with them this week. Thankful for my little car that gets me where I need to get go. Thankful that my treadmill that I thought had died yesterday seems to have revived.

That's about it from me. I have to finish packing, gas up the car and pick up some odds and ends and then I'm out of here. See you all on Sunday!

Susan

Morning everyone!

Hi all on this lovely thankful Thursday. So thankful I can come here and visit with you all. Had a few rough days and I still tried to push through with exercise. Believe it or not, I got called to sub 3 classes...2 senior classes and 1 pilates class. That was great for my psyche,

Be like a postage stamp.  Stick to it until you get there.
