Thursday morning...

Good morning everyone! I came in to a crappy run here at work...so...waiting till my boss comes in to decide what to do. I think this darn pressure line needs replaced...but then, I've felt that way for almost 2 weeks. Now, MAYBE he'll listen to me! It'll put me behind a week, but runs not working at already doing that anyway. I sent out an email about the Pampered Chef party last night (June 19th, 6 pm, my house at NE Indy). If anyone is interested in coming that I didn't email it to, contact me & send me your email addy and I'll send it out to you tonight when I get home. I'm asking those who live close to make one dish to bring and share. I should have made one thing clearer in the email....I would like for everyone to bring one recipe and in that recipe, include Pampered Chef products in the preparation. Whoever uses the most PC products in their recipe, wins a prize! BTW..I missed a few on my example I sent out. Did you catch them??? I thought of them this morning. Aren't familiar with their products? Visit PamperedChef.com! I may love their stuff, but there is no way I have the names of the products memorized. Well...about time for the boss to come in. I think I'll go try to grab my breakfast first. It looks like it's gonna be a LONG day! Sherri

It sucks when you dont have the stuff you need to do your job and you have to wait around on someone else to "fix" it.  It looks like another fantabulous day outside today, so after my clothes dry I'll be hitting the pavement again.  Gwyn is getting to be quite the character.  She's just starting to try to imitate me, and its so much fun!  I have so much fun playing with her now, and I get great big toothless smiles while it's going on,  it's the best!  While she napped yesterday I scrapbooked a page using some of her new pictures and framed it for Chris's grandma so I can sent it to her (she lives in Kansas, and I try to keep her well stocked in baby pictures).  I'm very new to scrapbooking, so the pages aren't all that great, but she seems to like them a lot, so I need get this frame boxed up, and mailed.  MY flowers would probably appriciate some water, too. Hope everyone has a great day!

LOL Sherri! I don't have any good recipes! I am no chef. My husband is the cook in our family, so I'm hoping to find a gift for him. I'll see if I can come up with a recipe. I don't know if putting a frozen pizza on a pizza stone counts though. Hehehe.  Today I got up at 6am and went walking at the park. That felt good, and then this afternoon is horseback riding! I am hoping the extra acitivities I'm doing this week will help me get to my goal. I want to drop two more pounds by the 21st. That will be 98 pounds in 7 months.  I am feeling stressed. It has to do with my changing of part-time jobs. I think the people at my former part-time job got peeved at me for looking for a different one. They left me a message Tuesday morning on my cell phone (didn't even bother to talk to me) that they got a sub for my last weekend, and I didn't need to worry about coming in. I was really thrown for a loop. I thought that was kind of petty. It wasn't like I just left. I gave them two weeks notice, and was there for a year. Worked for them on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, Mother's Day,...Oh well, what can you do, right? I have been offered a different part-time job as a cashier at Sears. So that's all good. But starting a new job always is a bit stressful for me. Atleast I will have not as many hours. ONly about 15 instead of 24 at the former job. Anyway, the stress should be over, but I keep worrying about the former job. I even helped them to find a replacement, so I know I shouldn't feel bad about leaving. It was just too many hours for me, what with working a full-time job too. Well, I'm going to choose to look at is in this way: I have father's day weekend off, before starting at Sears.  Thanks for reading my rant, Linda Vicory

 

Linda, Maybe you should ask hubby to do the recipe thing for you...that way, you can get lots of ideas for a gift for him. Hmmm....Pizza stone, wicker round stone holder, pizza cutter, pot holders, serving plates..I count 5 products just with a D'jorno! 6 if you use the PC timer instead of the stoves! Sherri

 

ps...Enjoy Father's Day..and a weekend off!!

Good Day Everyone, Sitting here preparing my day and realizing that I'm dissappointed and depressed. I tried going back to bed and sleeping it off, but it's still hanging on. Besides feeling ultra dissappointed and depressed I'm slightly overwhelmed and stressed with these constant emotional overburts. I think I'll just shut myself in my bedroom for the day so I don't non-intintially take it out on someone innocent. I've finally picked a day for my baby shower that is being hosted by my sister. It will be August 25. If anyone would like the details and/or an invitation you can either leave a pm here on OH for me or email me at [email protected]. I don't have family other then my mom and my sister in law (my "sister" is actually a close friend from many years that we've gotten in the habit of stating we are sisters, but we really aren't), so I'm looking forward to seeing as many of my friends come if possible. Gosh - that sounded like I was sorta begging. Sorry - pregnancy hormones. =( Anyways - I hope everyone has a great day. Hope your afternoon is running better then your morning Sherri. HUGS Jodi

Jodi,

I'm sorry that you're having a tough day...hormones are such a b#t%h.  I just wanted to lend my support from one mom to another!  I always liked to take a hot shower when I would get really emotional while I was pregers.  I would envision all the stress and emotions running off my body like the water and suds.  It worked for a lil while at least.  Needless to say I had a very high water bill...but it was my only alternative to a shot of vodka!  I hope you have a better day ahead!

Andrea

JO, I didn't have a single blood relative at my baby shower that Sherri & Angie put together for me, and it was a blast, even though I had to leave the shower to go catch a plane to go to my dad's funeral.  It was just what I needed.   I'm sure yours will be great too, and I'll try my darndest to be there.  As I said when it was my shower, I've never been to a baby shower (save my own) is it "acceptable" to bring Gwyn with me?  I have no idea.

Thanks for the kind words of support Darrah. I guess I have a lot on my plate emotionally that these dang pregnancy hormones are just taking over and using against me. It's so frustrating to see myself act the way I do lately because it's just totally not me. I feel really embrassed at times at myself. If you are able to come then by gosh, yes, bring Gwyn. I'm sure she'll enjoy a new adventure. I have to turn in snail addresses to my sister w/in the next few weeks so make sure to pm or email me your addy so I can make sure you get an invite. Again, thanks for the kind words. I really do appreciate it Hugs Jodi

Andrea, Thank you for the kind words. I too am a "shower when stressed" kinda girl. Normally people here at home can tell I either don't feel good or I'm stressed if they see me in the shower on and off all day. It's just nice to have that peace and quiet and the warm water and solitude and can often help your mind and nerves. I guess I just have a lot on my emotional plate right now and my pregnancy hormones are using it all as ammo against me. I feel embrassed by the way I've been acting lately because it's just not me. I'm normally pretty up beat and Lil Miss Positive. To say the least - this week so far as been testing and trying. I'm hopeing it gets better after I get a chance to get out of the house on Saturday and go to Indiana Beach for the day. Let's hope so. Again, thanks for the kind words, They were greatly appreciated. Hugs Jodi

Jodi, Please give your sister my contact info and ask her to call or email me. We are going to be on the road to Cedar Point on August 25th so I'll need to brings gifts over to her place beforehand. My afternoon was pretty much just as frustrating. I do have a game plan in place at least. It looks like the instrument just quit communicating with one of it's parts. I lost a day...but with all the time I have off coming up, each day counts so I'll be working ~12 hours tomorrow & Saturday and ~4-6 hours on Sunday. Oh..and of course, Monday-Thursday next week. I am just crossing my fingers that my pressure line holds out that long! We have this young (~30'ish), LAZY, rude idiot that keeps getting into our stuff rather than getting his own. He wasn't here today. Good thing! Friday, I had went and got all the bottles I was going to need for my entire study. Today, I went to get a few of them and that $%^&&*##@ wiped out my supply!  I found out by  with my cco-workers that he has pulled similar stunts on them. One of them, he even took the tape out of her dispenser and put it in his rather than going and getting his own roll out of our supply stockroom! I refilled my drawer and left one heck of a nasty-gram for the next time he reaches his paws into my drawer! It's even labeled with my name!?!?! What can you say except 'How Rude!!!!'? This idiot won't even throw away his own trash! He leaves it laying everywhere! Then...we go out to eat and the darn cook burnt my hamburger steak and put it on garlic toast (I specifically asked for it on the side) and made Bill's onion rings WAY too crisp and he specifically asked for them to be cooked 'light'.  Lord, it's nice to have THIS day done!! I have 2 more hours to work and I will have made up the time I was gone Monday & Tuesday! After this weekend...NOT a problem!! In fact, I'll have some in to go toward the next trip. Sherri
