Good Morning,

Loved the picture this morning-would love to be there!

I can't answer the first question-and I would like to know as well. Yes, what is a sugar sandwich?

As for the second question what's planned for today? I don't know. I know what I should be doing-my question is do I really feel like it? I'm totally confused this morning. I was awake a little after 6 I vaguely remember DH kissing me goodbye as he left for work this morning and the next thing I knew the phone was ringing at 7:30 and woke me up out of a deep sleep. I was talking to other DD a little after 8 and couldn't figure out why DS was still here. I thought maybe he had forgotten to set his alarm. I knocked on his door and he's sitting there and I asked if he was going to work except he looked at me funny and said yes but it's only 8:15-he doesn't go in until 9 on Saturdays. I am so confused!

Anyway, I'm still on a hunt for blinds. Penney's is having a big sale of made to order blinds so I might take a look to see if their sale price might fit my budget. Still wavering whether I should invest in this project.

DH's work situation seems to have taken a step in the right direction. It means a give back in wages but keeps our health benefits and his pension benefits at the same level so that's a good thing. DH takes a double whammy however since the other guys get commission.When he took the job he agreed to not get a commission until management saw how he worked out with the job. With a new contract he should be entitled to a commission but we're not sure whether they're going to agree to that and it might ruffle a few feathers that everyone is giving back and he will then get commission. But the fact of the matter is that even though they're giving back they still get a commission check at the end of the month. DH will have to speak to the union rep and see if there can be a resolution to that matter. I'm sure management will not want to hand over another commission check. They haven't voted on it yet as several guys were out yesterday and there are employees at the their other location that need to vote but looks like at least they are headed in the right direction.

I need to get in some type of workout this morning. I know if I put it off it won't get done. My laundry is overflowing as well and I'm sure DS will be looking for some of it as he packs up and leaves for VA Beach tomorrow for classes and a testing program involving work.

Otto and I will also need to head out into the sunshine and get our walk in. We haven't been out for a couple of days and we both need it.

I really like Nancy's plans for the day. Sounds like a fun day! Being locked out in the sunshine and a book and then a nap doesn't sound like a bad way to spend an afternoon!

Margie-so good to hear from you!

Shar-you're doing great! My oldest DD is going to have blood work done looking for thyroid issues. She's been having issues that sound similar to the ones you were experiencing. I'm curious to see how it turns out. Not that I want her to have an issue but it certainly would explain a lot of things at this point.

Debbie/MN-how's the ankle feeling? The PT working?

Deb/LI-how was your visit with your sister and that adorable little guy?

Donna-sorry to hear that about the pressure at work. Hope everything goes well with your deadlines.

Patty-I was glad to hear that your FIL's results didn't show anything serious. Is he feeling better knowing that? And how's your Dad feeling?

Karen-how are your boys feeling?

Well better go get some workout duds on before I change my mind! Hope everyone has a super Saturday!

Susan

Hi, all....getting ready to go to Dgdd's field hockey game in a little while. Battling grandsons to go along. I never made it to the gymnastics meet last night because they were carrying on about going to it and it would have been long and crowded. Boo hoo...Dgdd did great and took 1st on beam and I missed it. She qualified for states so she is very happy.

Keep on keeping on!

Good morning ladies. Yes what is a sugar sandwich.......never heard of it either. Katie and I decided to stay another night. Should have come home on Thursday but Katie just loves being the big cousin, lol. I need to get pictures for you to see, he is just a cutie pie! We went shopping on Thursday and stocked my sisters refrigerator. We did a nice dinner and enjoyed some wine. We were all tired from our late night Wednesday so we were in bed early that night. Yesterday Katie and I headed home around 10:30, easy drive home. Back in the house by noon. Katie got cleaned up and dressed in her riding clothes and went to the barn with Nicole. I had to get organized here. Being gone less then 48 hours and the laundry was piled, lol. Did some laundry, vacuumed, stripped my bed, organized the pantry/laundry shelves, had a nail appointment (which I had changed from Thursday to Friday), and then dinner at the local diner finished out my day.


Today is a lazy morning. Bill is just getting up, I can hear him upstairs. Katie and her GF Katie are just moving around too. My Katie has an appointment for a hair cut at the salon where I get my nails done, Bill gave her a GC for Christmas too. So we have an appointment for noon. From there I guess I need to go grocery shopping. I started a list yesterday and I will finish it up before heading out. Other then that I am not sure what else I am going to do today. I would love to lie and say exercise but that aint going to happen. I talked about rejoining the gym yet have not done anything yet. I am going to take care of that on Monday. Hope you all have a good day today and I will check in later!

Good morning lovely friends ... LOL, Patty, I thought you would totally know what a Sugar Sandwhich is ... it is one slice of really fresh white bread slathered with really soft butter and then you spinkle the entire thing with white sugar (if it is not such a special reason) or brown sugar (if it is a special reason), fold the bread in half and enjoy!

Not sure what a sugar sandwich is but your question reminded me of Thursdays growing up (and out).
