As Nancy normally says "at the risk of stepping on someone else's toes" here goes a morning post...........Nothing like Miss P does. No time to research pictures or poems. Just a simple start of what you are doing right now and what you have planned for the day.


Karen sorry about the accountant trouble........money is a difficult and stressful thing. You can keep your beautiful snow, lol. I can not believe 18 inches does not warrent them plowing.......different world. Patty good luck with your Dad's procedure this morning. I am sure we all will have him and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Nancy I ditto what the others say about you being a good person and worker. Grace sorry for your troubles. Between your own health and now added worries about your DD, not helping. Sending prayers your way too! Ladies I hope you each have a wonderful day. Don't work too hard, drive slow, smell those flowers (even if they are painted ones from Shar), eat healthy and have a wonderful day!

Good morning, for some reason I thought I had more time. I was up and out of bed at 6:45 but yet again I am running behind. So if I am 15 minutes late to work he can sue me! I got up to yet another cat throw up. Seems one of them is not feeling well and I am thinking it is Tiger. I guess I will keep an eye on him and if he is not feeling better by tomorrow I will take him to the vet. I am enjoying a second cup of tea this morning since my throat is still hurting. I am eatting some scrambled egg whites with diced bell peppers and 2 slices of lite whole wheat toast. I made a small batch of chicken salad with lite mayo for lunch and I am going to throw it ontop of some lettuce and tomatoes. I need to go shopping but I want to use up stuff I already have here in the house. I think dinner tonight will be shrimp with vodka sauce and pasta. I know I should eat the whole wheat stuff but it is like chewing on a paper bag........so I will just limit my portion to one. Maybe sautee some spinach for Katie and I and I can toss that in too. Today is horse day and if the weather cooperates and stays in the 40's then I will take a walk up and down the street where the barn is while she is tacking him. I always change into my sweats and sneakers when we go to the barn. If I bought a bag of fresh spinach and sauteed it in some olive oil and garlic that would be pretty good? Instead of boiling it?? I am not normally a spinach eatter but I enjoy it mixed with things like sauce/pasta or soup. My boss has two closings today, one at 11 and the other at 2 so I am hoping when he leaves at 10 he disappears, lol. That is so mean! We are full staffed today so I am hoping the phones will be less stressful. Oh Katie got another great grade on a math test again.......92! Yeah to Katie, lol. Did I tell you ladies that last week when we were on our way back from Huntington Learning Center she asked if this was a punishment. I told her I did not want it to be considered one, that we did it for her own sake to help make school a little more easier and understandable...her response was alright because she actually likes going..........if it were not for the fact I was driving I would have fainted, lol. This is costing Bill a ton of money and I am glad she likes it and there is no fighting that she has to go. Well ladies hope you all have good days today. Catch up later!

Good Morning,

A beautiful blue sky, sunshine but still temperatures in the 20's this morning. And, Karen thanks for wanting to share your weather but like Patty's prizes of chickens and XY's thanks but no thanks! By the way as my memory works in spurts just wanted to say that I love your DD's dress. She will look stunning!

Patty-thoughts and prayers for your Dad this morning. Hope all goes well today.

Donna-glad to hear that your FIL is doing well. I was thinking about your Mom the other day and wondering if she had moved back into her place.

Grace-I'm so sorry to hear about more added stress with the family. Thinking about you and hope that things work out for everyone and for you with the upcoming surgery.

Nancy-I'm glad that you like the Personal Trainer program for the Wii. I actually haven't had Maya out of the box for awhile. That might be a good option for me this evening. I agree that your boss knows good help when he sees it!

The day ahead looks pretty much like yesterday. Work and then home for dinner, out the door with my favorite beast and then hopefully two for two as far as a workout. Tuesdays are usually an easy and early dinner for us so really no excuse except the ones in my head. I'll be curious to see if I get a response to my email about my request for my day off. Apparently only some of us are required to take this step. The funny thing is I really do like this woman. She has a nice personality, plays well with others and is in no way anything like her predecesor Miss Sunshine except when it comes to time off. It just seems that whoever occupies that chair has a different set of rules apply to them and I leave the blame for that with both bosses. Anyway, hopefully I'll have an answer today. Leaving people to hang with their request is just so wrong and it's happened one too many times.

Time to pull the laundry out of the dryer, laundry out of baskets to their proper places before the next round beings then off the to the paying world. Hope you all have a great day and good luck to everyone on Challenge Day #2!

Deb,

Have you tried the whole grain pasta instead of the whole wheat? I'm not a huge fan of the whole wheat pasta either but I do like the whole grain one. It's called Barilla Plus and comes in a yellow box.

Congratulations to Katie! I'm so glad that this is working for her. I'm sure it must make her feel much better coming home with good grades!

Garlic and olive oil make anything taste good!

Susan I think I have a box of the Barilla Plus in the pantry closet now that you say that. I will have to look when I get home. If that is the case then I will make that for myself. Donna you convinced me to try some spinach that way so between teh Whole Grain Pasta and the Spinach it should be a semi healthy meal. Thanks ladies!

After I dropped Katie yesterday and as I was driving back I thought about stopping at Starbucks but somehow I thought it would not have gone over to good, lol. But I did obey the speed limit to the number and even in the school zone......................lalala!
