I should have no excuses on healthy dinners this week, Eric's had a business evening event almost every day this week.

It was another extremely busy day at the office. Even before Friday rolls around I already knows what lays in wait for me. I got home after my manicure and DH met with the news of a rather large unexpected bill that we both thought would be payable in installments but apparently we either both misunderstood or we were given wrong information. The installment would have been find since DH's truck is paid for and my car will be paid off this month but an annual payment due NOW has both rather perturbed and disturbed. DH was supposed to be getting an extra bonus this month for the parts department meeting a quoto but the parts/service manager apparently didn't do what he was supposed to do and they just fell short. This guy is the same guy who misled DH about our health insurance, his pay scale and he's not a favorite in anyone's book and he certainly hasn't done much to improve that opinion. DH was hoping on getting tires on his truck which he'll be needing shortly and he was going to surprise me and give me some money to head to DC with you ladies which I really thought was very sweet of him to think of me but looks like that still won't happen.

I guess I'm just worn out from the work week and this added news has left me a little down in the dumps this evening.

I did head to get a manicure after work. I just hope it lasts long enough to look nice for the wedding tomorrow-not that anyone will be looking at my hands. It just makes me feel nice! I'm just hoping the dress that I bought a few weeks ago still zips up and that I can breathe once I'm in it!

There was a nice lady in the nail salon who was celebrating her 80th birthday. She certainly didn't look 80 and she was getting her nails done today since her husband was taking her away for a surprise weekend getaway! I really thought that was so sweet and so cute and I want to look like her when I'm 80! They were teasing her that she's really 18 and she replied that she wouldn't want to be 18 again and she likes exactly where she is at 80.

Otto and I headed out for our walk and that's as far as I got for a workout. Can't say that I burned many calories but it was a nice long relaxing walk. I'm been down here paying the bills that I said I would pay about 3 days ago. But they're paid now and glad that task is over.

I'm headed upstairs and feeling rather lazy. I have laundry to finish up-but it's not mine and haven't heard anyone complaining that they're in need of anything and if they are they can do it and/or look for it themselves. They're big boys now! So, I'm taking the night off.

That's about it from my world. Hope you all have enjoy a good evening and a good night's rest.

My turn. . . . Well, I wish I could say that I had a hugely productive day, but in fact, I took the day off and apart from dishes and changing ds's bed (nosebleed last night) I did absolutely nothing constructive!!! LOL

Hi Deb,


Kamloops can get quite hot in the summer time.
