*** Saturated Sunday Roll Call ***
Good Morning PA Board,
I am getting tired of this rain and dreariness. Tomorrow is supposed to bring a slight warm up and drying out. Today I am heading to the Y to exercise and going to Giant to get the rest of my food for the week. Steffi I also have lots of papers to grade and Progress Reports to get finished for Tuesday. Oh the joys of being a teacher
Yesterday I played a funeral Mass for a 63 year old woman who committed suicide. She was well loved but her demons had just gotten to her. It made me think of those very dark moments in my life when I had similar thoughts. Thank God those days are long gone. For whatever reason this has continued to sit and I feel it deep in my bones. Once again I am so grateful for all of you and my Barix family. I know that this support is what will keep me going in the weeks and months ahead. Try to stay warm and dry today everyone. I also will be watching my beloved Phillies tonight.
Love, Donna

Good Morning Steffi & PA:
Today I am very pleased, my stall broke the other day, I had gained 2 pounds and have taken off 4.
All my jeans are too big for me so I think I'm going to go upstairs to my old jeans and go shopping for a smaller size. Not sure which bag I'll be bringing down today but I'll also have to make room in the closet by cleaning out the "too big" clothes.
I put on an outfit yesterday and asked Gene how it looked, he said it looked comfy so I knew it was too big LOL
Today I will also be working on my final paper that is due on Thursday, reading for my new class starting tomorrow, and reading to write a short paper for my online Tuesday class. I'm not liking this online thing. I really do perfer to be in the classroom. Online classes are too impersonal for me.
I think I will also make Gene his favorite dessert, tofu cheesecake. I love baking on rainy days.
Thats it for my exciting day...
Hope everyone has a great day even though it's raining.....

Yeppers...still rainy and cold here. I have the heat set on "60" right now. Still not willing to turn it completely on....but anything below 60 IN the house is just a tad bit ridiculous. When I walked in yesterday it was 58 degrees in my house. No, thank you, not enough fleece in the world!
Anyway...I think I have gotten as much accomplished as I am going to today. I went out last night and ended up drinking waaaay more than I should have - and am paying the price this morning. However, I did drag myself out in the rain and gloom and finally did food shopping. Made a batch of "egg cups" and have a crock pot of french onion soup on (recipies to follow).
The rest of the day will probably entail lying on the couch watching BSG w/ hubby and then a nap before work. I went to bed somewhere around 12:30 last night was up at 3:30 and then up for good at 6:30 so the nap part should be pretty easy to do, LOL

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
My silver lining to this dreary weekend is that I get to stay comfortable and cozy inside the house and not feel guilty about it! Hubby and I did all of our errands and grocery shopping last night - so all we have on the agenda for today is laundry and dishes - and most importantly, spending some QT together!
I think I'm going to start sorting through my smaller clothes and start to get them ready. I'm going to re-launder them all and iron most of them so that they are ready to go as I start to need those sizes again. I'm anticipating this will take me weeks to do - but no time like the present to get started! I needed to go down a pant size yesterday and it was stressful trying to find that size in one of the many boxes, totes and bags downstairs! Good stress that I'd take any day over having things that are too small =)
Hope you all stay warm and dry and get to spend time with your loved ones today!

Good afternoon everyone...I'm a bit late in posting but have gotten some things accomplished this morning. Had my usual morning ritual of walking the dog (in the driving rain, again...blech) and then drying us both off before heading out for the paper and coffee. Played with him quite a while, read the papers, put laundry away then worked out and showered - just finishing a protein shake and 1/2 banana for lunch then I'm off to the Christmas Tree Shoppe for some much needed toiletries - sounds like a funny place to go for those things but they're so cheap over there.
The rest of the day should be quiet - cleaned and shopped yesterday so today I can relax and just hang out - if I remember how to do that!!
Hope it warms up a little - I do think the rain has finally stopped.

Hello all.. me too, late in posting.
Slept in today til after 9... soooo nice!!
Got up, went to the gym. Did 10 mins on the elliptical-- I think that's the most I've done so far. It's still kinda hard and uncomfortable for me, but I keep trying it. Then, I did 20 mins on the recumb bike. strength training involved legs and abs.
Now, I am home, took a shower and need to figure out what to do for the rest of this miserable day. I would love to just stay home in sweats under blankets and watch movies all day. BUT, Siehara wants to do something. So, I am about to check out the movies and see what is playing. We will either do that or maybe go bowling. I also have to find my Halloween costume. I need it for Friday at the OH conference and I know that time is running slim on getting anything decent.
Later after Siehara's in bed, or if we come home early enough, I'm going to try to get in a couple of hours of OT for work. I really really need the $$$$.
That's it for me!
