Last Monday roll call of 2009
good morning everyone...
I'm surprised no one has started roll call and surprised that I'm able to get on before going to work.
Another short week 3.5 days to work for me.
I'm off to work, then to curves after work, and home for a walk on the treadmill.
After that put away wash, clean up, wait for Gene to come home, he's seeing clients tonight and then relax....
Hope everyone has a great day...
Ida

Well I made some home made ice cream last night from a new cook book - it was VERY good but I ate less then 3 teaspoons and was sick as a dog... should have known better. Next time it gets made with soy milk.
So today has me taking it easy. I am at work, we are on skeleton crew. I had an appt after work but cancelled it, just not feeling up to it. SO after work it is just home, probably put away some laundry and just relax.
Have a good day all

Morning Ida and PA!
Like you I have another short workweek, with lots of cleanup work to get done before 5 p.m. Wednesday, so that will be good, should make my days go quickly.
Otherwise, had a good weekend, Roxie is adjusting very nicely and is showing signs that she is feeling comfortable here, it was a hoo****ching her run all over the backyard (I have a nice sized lot), when she first got here my yard was covered in snow and she was not liking it much, we dug out an area where she could do her business and by Christmas Day, she was cracking me up with her bunny run through the backyard. Well after a day and a half of rain, the snow is gone and she examined every part of that yard and while when I first got her she showed no interest in playing with toys, Saturday and yesterday, she played very nicely, chasing after the ball and plastic bone toys that were once Dillinger's, though he hardly played with them as he was past the energy level of all that. Which brings me to another thing, she is very puppy like and that is kind of fun, because when I moved into my home, Dillinger was almost 7 and while he enjoyed the yard, she will really benefit from it. Took her to the vet on Saturday and basically got an all clear on her, other than a special food to try and get her digestive system under wraps and it seems we are on our way there. So at 64.6 lbs., she could use to gain about 15. I found out that she is very other animal friendly, as she just wanted to meet every animal in the waiting room and never once showed any signs of aggression, this makes me extremely happy as now I know I can bring her anywhere that would welcome her and further tested that out by taking her to PetSmart where I bought her a 2nd bed for the bedroom, a pink rhinestone collar (it was on sale and we all know that diamonds are a girls best friend (lol)), a good dry food for when she is done with the digestive food (Blue Buffalo) and some greenie treats to keep her teeth clean and fresh. She was awesome in the store and again, just wanted to meet the doggies and even seemed to want to meet up with the kitties they keep for adoption there. . . My Dillinger was a sweet boy with most 2-leggeds, but very dog aggressive which meant limitations that I will not have with Roxie. I feel even more blessed to have her.
Well I better get off here and get ready for work. I also wish you peace and strength to get through whatever comes your way!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good morning everyone -
Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. I really enjoyed mine. I spent it with my honey and my family. Couldn't ask for much more than that.
Looking forward to another short week. We will get the notice to leave early New Years Eve, but I will probably stay and let the rest of the staff go. We don't have any plans, so I don't mind staying so that the others can go. My boss, assistant director and me usually switch off staying for the early dismissals.
Hope everyone has a super day.

morning.. been working for 2.5 hours already.. yep, it's Monday.
Siehara is home all week.. let's hope we get some play dates to keep her busy otherwise, it's going to be a looooonnnnngggg week. She's still sleeping for now, but once she gets up, she'll be complaining that she is bored after 5 minutes in front of the tv.
After work today, I am headed over to a different gym than my norm. I have a friend who wants to try a spin class, but doesn't want to do it alone. So, I told her to get me a guest pass and I would go with her. I also know the instructor of tonight's class, so that will be good for me. I just have to call to make sure it's okay for Siehara to go into their child care room or that there is somewhere else she can hang out during the class.
Once we leave the gym, I guess we'll just go home and have dinner and relax. I'd like to be able to pretend it is still the weekend and chill for the night.
Hope everyone has a great day. 4 day week for me, this week.

Good morning, all! We're in Marietta GA this morning, where Paul grew up. He'll probably take me around and show me the area today. I think we need to get out for a walk today too. We'll be staying here for a couple of days, then head to Statesboro GA to visit with Paul's sister. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
