3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY!

Thank God!!!! 

I'm glad you're back at the gym - I know how much you've missed that!!  I know Stacia won't let you overdo!!

Your Mom's a love!!!  She worries about you so, and I'm glad you have her to watch over you.  The next time, though, if you didn't already, balance the refined carbs in the bagel with some protein - either toast some cheese on it or smear some pb on it, that way the carbs in the bagel don't have you crashing again. 

Hugs,

Well - today is technically my Tuesday.  SSSSSSSSSS_SIGH

but I'm grateful for a lot of things today.

My scale is still moving - on a daily basis.  The odd thing is I have not hit a gym or walked a track frequently enough to say exercise did it. 

I'm so grateful for Tia's progress - that's definitely one of my gratefuls.  I feel wonderful just because she's doing awesome!!!!!  (love ya Tia!)

I got home last night to a nice and quiet home - hubby and Holly were sleeping.  Baby was waiting for me.   (Wait a minute - I've had her almost a whole week and I have not seen that kitten sleep!)  Baby worked with me on the photo attempts and chased after a spider in between shoots.  LOL

It's just a beautiful day - and I was wondering, on the way in to work, when was the last time I said dammit, I'm too hot?  I remember the OH ladies telling me that I'll be cold in no time.  I'm sitting in a 71 degree office which otherwise would have been too warm for me, in a long sleeve shirt and not feeling too warm.

I'm just grateful for a crap load of stuff - but I'll get off my tissue box and let someone tell us their gratefuls!

 You are just da bomb, you know?  I can't wait to see you again!  It's been toooooo long!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!  I don't have a problem tooting someone else's horn for them (get yer mind outta the gutter!), or complimenting my friends and family, but it's rare for me to do it for myself.  So I'm trying!!!  And ONLY this board understands what a challenge all of this is!!  I love you, too!!

Now, you know better - Baby sleeps while you're gone so she doesn't miss a thing while you're there!!

I'm sitting here in an office with an a/c on low, typing with cold hands, and thinking, like you, that in the past, I would've had it blasting on high AND the fan blowing directly on me!  It's the little things that can make you the most grateful!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

oh my go with the cold. I have a sweater at work with me all the time. could be 86 outside, 73 inside, I am cold!

My dad gave Smokey a bath yesterday. As soon as my dad came out of the bathroom to get him, Smokey jumped ont he couch and cowered behind me, then growled as my dad picked him up. But, he smelled SO much better afterwards.

My things for Tuesday:

1. Got fingerprinted by SSA today. I start working there next Monday. Am so excited. nothing really changes. I will be ont he same team, just not a contractor anymore.

2. Bought a bunch of stuff from JC Penney online last night. Had a 15% coupon and then went through ebates which gave me another 4% cash back. Retail therapy. nothing better, I tell ya.

3. Having lunch with a bunch of work friends. One of them had a grandson recently and her daughter's bringing him to lunch. Cannot wait. I seem to have photos with all the new babies around me. Plus, the lunch is at Five Guys. Even though I can't eat a whole burger there, I LOVE their burgers. With raw onions, jalapenos, bacon and bbq sauce. Good that I have no meetings afterwards lol

Morning Sylvie!!!

Our animals are funny things, aren't they?  Nothing like them to make you smile!

So since you won't be a contractor, do you get additional bennies?

I've been AVOIDING retail therapy.  I've got more clothes than a department store already, and hopefully, if I can continue my downward trend, I can get rid of some more before the fall!  Cross your fingers!

I LOVE Five Guys - but their burgers do NOT like me!  Raw onions AND jalapenos?  Somebody better warn Jeff!!

Have a great day!

He's used to it. He tries to match me spice for spice sometimes and that ends badly hehe.

Well, as a Lockheed contractor, the benefits were almost nil. No 401K, they had something called a "savings plan" that they put 2% towards but it wasn't a true retirements account. and we only got 2 weeks vacation paid and if we needed any sick time, you had to work overtime to comp it.

Starting at SSA, I believe I get 13 days vacation and 13 days sick time accrued per year and they match 3% completely and the next 2% at 1/2 rate for retirements. Plus the day care and health services; I can get ym allergy shots right there.

I also like the stability. Our contract is up in 2 and even though everyone says oh why would they not reup it, you never know.

Given the smells that come from our neighbor's house, I would NEVER try to match spices with an Indian girl!!  Hell, I wash off my crabs!!!!!!  LOL!!!!

VEREEEE cool on the bennies!!!!  A lot can change in two years, and the daycare, well, that's just incentive!!!!!

JC Penneys is doing the scratch offs for those who are using JC Penney accounts.  The scratch offs are 10, 15 or 30 percent off depending on what you scratch on the card.

 Heck, if you sign up for a new credit card (I didn't know people could have up to 3 accounts!) - you'll get an automatic 30% off - so if you're shopping for a fall wardrobe - come see me to apply for a credit account!  I'll only get a taxable $2.00 out of the referral - but you'd get 30% off - so there's the shoes and handbags for ya!  LOL

As soon as I find out exactly when this sale happens, I'll post it  - prolly around 10:30 AM this morning.

Have I told you you are like my Santa Claus?
