***Super Saturday Roll Call***

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

I really slept late today ****il 8:30 am!!!) but I figure I should just enjoy it as this is the last weekend of summer beforethe school year starts!!!

Today is just a day to clean, go food shopping and straighten up the yard.  Our house is in desperate need of a good straighten up and dusting!!! LOL Since the girls went back to school everything is a little topsy turvy here...ha ha.  Also I must finish the laundry and clean the bathroom...(Too much fun for this glorious Saturday I know!!!! )

But before I do any of that I am going to jump on the treadmill and work out for an hour.  Later we might take  Peanut for a walk on the Schyukill (??) Trail or maybe I can convince hubby to drive down to Valley Forge and walk the Peanut down there...we haven't been down there yet.  We shall see...we never quite follow a set game plan on the weekends!!! LOL

But I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day!!!

Much luv!!!
Laura

Well now - with all that house hold stuff you surely do know how to have the bestest "last weekend of the summer" now don't ya?!  LOL
Have fun w/ peanut no matter where ya go!

Good morning!  On the way home from work I could barely keep my eyes open, or at least, that's how I felt.  And I was HUNGRY.  Came home, ate my dinner...and now feel wide awake again.  I'm wondering if that super tired feeling wasn't something like hypoglycemia?  I haven't had problems w/ hypoglycemia since before surgery when I was a pre diabetic....and I wasn't shaky or sweaty - just tired....liked I had worked all night...hee hee.

anyway - finishing up here and on FB of course....and will be headed off hopefully to a wonderful trip to la la land

Back to work tonight, 7p @ LVH.  The only "good" thing about working this whole weekend is that 3 of the 4 nights (fri, sat, sun) we have "weekend program nurses" - and I get a long with a LOT of them - so at least I know I have co workers that I can have a good time with.

Enjoy the nice weather - although it was a bit "crisp" out for me..if I had been up walking around outside, definately would have needed a long sleeve shirt or a light jacket, sad as that sounds!  According to my weather thingy on my computer, it's *only* 61 degrees right now...so I'm sure it was closer to about 58 or so

good thing I went to the pool tonight and not this morning.. it was pretty warm sitting right under the sun in my lounge chair... ahhhhh.. got a tiny bit of my color back, but not much.  We didn't go until almost 4 and only stayed about an hour.  oh well..

Good morning everyone!  Off to the beach today with some good friends and....they are doing the driving!!!!!  HOORAY!!!!!!  That is really ALL that I have on the agenda today.  Tomorrow is the final shop day for school cloths for the kids and maybe some more things for my classroom.  Damn, I spend sooo much money this time of year.  You might think that I ike my job....oh wait....I do! :)

Hope you all have a wonderfully sunny saturday and an even nicer Labor Day weekend!

Not much going on here today.  Just a little puttering around the house.  Have to run into town to pick up a script for DH.  Maybe I will walk uptown and check out the thrift store just for something to do.  Didn't walk much yesterday so need to get off of my butt today.

Good morning folks,

It felt nice to sleep in a little later than usual this morning, even though my day feels "off balance" a bit now.  I'll get over it.  Just really needed it after the emotionally exhausting week.  Yesterday was Mary's husband's funeral and went back to her house afterward.  It was just so tough and my heart aches for her and the kids.  But as she said the other day "now the healing can start."  

The last 2 nights, though, between viewing and funeral, I was struggling big-time with emotional eating.  I kept it pretty mu*****heck and when I couldn't keep from eating SOMEthing, managed to make healthy choices.  But I didn't like that I felt the old impulses coming back ... I really, really wanted to just eat an entire bag of SF cookies then hide the evidence.  But I didn't.  I ate just 1 cookie and put the others neatly away.

Today's plan is to pound some metal in the studio and get some bracelets formed.  Typically, I'll do a batch of forming, then polish them all, then start adding the stones and such, all of which will take a few days.  But I'll hopefully end up with a nice batch of bracelets at the end of it all.  I've got several shows coming up in the next couple of months, so really need to get on it.  No more excuses!

I'm also making a big pot of crock-pot chili, adapted to be WLS-friendly.  I've been told my chili is awesome (pre-surg) so am hoping to adapt the recipe well, and if it turns out good I'll post it.

I hope this weekend finds each one of you happy and healthy.  Treasure your friends and family, as they are truly the treasures in our lives.

Hi Karen,
So sorry you are struggling with the emotions that came up with the funeral.  I am sure that your bracelet pounding will be very therapeutic. 

Hugs,
Trish

Karen - so sorry to hear that Mary's husband passed - sorry if I missed that post. Thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time!

Great work on the restraint of 1 cookie too!

*hugs*

Good Morning all......

First I am going to get my coffee and get my big boys thier hot chocolate, then I will be heading out  to buy my son a new bike. His was stolen. JERKS! So we will get him a new one and I will pick up other various things at walmart.

Then we will be home to do some misc chores, and stuff before we head over to the track. My 9 year old is racing today and I think Johnny is too. So I will be packing up drinks, lunch meat, and snacks for the afternoon/evening. Then home to bed!

Hope everyone has a great day!
