It's early on Tuesday Morning- the thread is stared!

Good Morning!
I'm going to be running all day tomorrow so let's just get this started now! It's been great having so many posters lately... let's keep it going. Where are the "Oldies"? I think you check in once in a while- let us know you are here. Just a line or two will suffice.
To day I have a breakfast date, scrapbooking group and TOPS summer party. I need to get to bed or I'll be suffering when I get up early tomorrow. I need to start practicing the regular bedtime and wake-up... my summer is gone. One good thing- I'm reminded by every teacher I see that my injuries from the accident, which were so obvious on the last day of school ( I barely made it back by that day... I was still hurting a lot) have healed completely. I'm my old self again. They are still remembering it like it was yesterday, but it's a distant memory for me now. I have been so lucky!
I hope that you are all enjoying your last days of July. Check in... it will only take a couple of minutes!

I am counting down the days to my next scheduled "vacation".  I will be taking off from work Wednesday and Thursday this week.  Our friend from California is coming in to visit.  She comes in once a year for a Mary Kay convention.  She visits with us four days before and 3 days after.  Always fun.

Mary and Niki scrapbook for two days.  We spend one evening at Cafe Madrid (we met in Spain) enjoying some authentic Spanish food.

Rangers game Thursday.  Maybe.  I have tickets, just not sure if I am going.

Later.

Good Morning:

I'm actually going to make it out the door on time this morning!!!!!

Work till 4, then the gym, then home to either walk on the treadmill or sleep.  Not sure which at this point.  Gene sees clients today and this evening so will not see him till tomorrow morning.

Yesterday I did finish all my prayers and such for this coming Sunday's worship service.  Gene is preaching so when he preaches on Sunday I take the Worship leader role.  I am thankful I'm done and my portion is all organized. 

Have a great day!!!!

Hi buddies,

Today I will proof read my posts.  Ugh.. how embarrasing.

Anyway, today my sister and her son, my daughter are going to Put in Bay ( near Sandusky- Cedar Point) but an another Island, you have to take a ferry to there.)  Shoud be fun.  I have been trying to get things ready so I don't forget anything.  I am a nut about going away and always take too much.  I took three suitcases and overnght bags to Florida  and probably used three of four outfits. Mostly in my bathing suit and they had a washer and dryer there!  Duh

Hoping everyone is well and have a great Tuesday!

Peace

Morning Julia and Friends,

Sounds like you have a full day and I am glad to hear that you are completely back to your "old" self (lol). . . 

I had my meeting with the two attorneys I work with and while it went well, I still feel like I will somehow never fit in there and that life as I knew it changed forever last year when, because of the economy, I lost my job of 13 years and while I am sure this is just a stop over to get me on the road to something else, I will need a break or have to reinvent myself and I don't have the energy right now for that process. . .  I am frustrated and feeling rather low and hopefully after my vacation Labor Day week, I will feel more up to it.

Anyway, I am a work in progress and life is what it is and I simply have to show up and believe that the possibilities for me are and will be there. . . 

Hope you all have a wonderful day and that the stuggles of life don't get you down, wishing you peace and strength for whatever comes your way today.

Hugs, Laureen

janet-i'm biding.....biding....biding........
oh-my monday wasn't so bad!

When I was in high school (OH so many years ago...) a male friend gave me the nickname. Seashelleyes is the nickname that John Lennon gave his mother, Julia. The Beatles song "Julia" goes something like this... "Julia, seashelleyes, windy smile, calls me..." the only people that "get" my nickname are hardcore Beatles fanatics. The song is on the White Album- it's a very short love song.

Good mornin', ya'll.

Well, it's another sultry day in paradise.  I have a couple of quick errands to run while it's still sorta cool. Then I will be inside making some quillows for my new great-grandchildren. When my grandson marries the love of his life, we not only get a wonderful grand-daughter-in-law, we will now have 2 great grandchildren. I want to make something for them, so they feel part of the festivities and to know we are thinking of them, too.

I am SOOO struggling with this weight thing. I find myself eating around this band more and more.  I KNOW I have to stop it!!  It doesn't help that everytime I see an oncologist they say they are happy to see my weight gain!!!! I KNOW what I have to do, I have done it before. I was sure the thought of my class reunion would motivate me - NOPE. In 2 weeks my grandson gets married, does that motivate me - NOPE! I need a kick in the a**. My DH is quiet on the subject. He eats around his band all the time and doesn't lose.  He hated when I would say something to him about it, so he says nothing to me. I am back to the gym nearly every day, but then I think that means I can eat more. I am drowning here.

I hope everyone who is struggling with anything gets a handle on the problem and conquers it!

Have a fantabulous day.

Good morning, Julia and everyone who follows!

I'm enjoying this week so far ever so much more than all the last few weeks combined.  The humidity is down, down, down and I can go outdoors and enjoy myself!

There's nothing really exciting here to talk about, just wanted to check in and say hi.  Have a tremendous Tuesday, everyone!

Morning Julia and all others...

  I was awakened this morning at about 7 am..by a very excited 6 1/2 yrs. old !!!  She lost her tooth yesterday and had to come and show me that the tooth fairy had been to see her.  WOW !! Talk about inflation...I remember getting a nickel or dime for my teeth...she got $5.00 !!!! 

   We're hanging out till early afternoon and then I'm off to the pool for my aqua class.  Love the class , I always feel so restful after.  Wish I could go every day..but, the gym is about 1/2 hour drive away...so I go Tues and Thurs. with Annette and some other people.  Lord do we have fun !!!

   Well off to do some laundry...have a great Tues.
