Long Time

People at work are getting on my last nerves. Some people you can never make happy. I am tired of trying. What happened to people just trying to be ok with the situation they are in? Just relax a bit people!

Getting Ready

For company. How many of you people out there make your house as spic and span as possible for company? I think that I'm of the mindset to leave the house in its state of normal. It is to stressful to do a manic cleanup. I don't know about you but I can't relax once company gets here because of the whirlwind that is caused by the manic cleanup. We are pretty organized here anywise. In a few days my sister and her family are coming to visit. To get ready I cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed upstairs. That is it! That is all I plan on doing. (The beds are made already) I feel happier with this. I can relax and enjoy! I'm rambling. Goodness! :-)

Floor Recovery Update

Well, the floor is fixed now! Oh, wood floor laminate how I love thee. I love the installers too! No more chemical smell in the house. Maybe we can put everything back into its place now.

So... Long

Since I have written. My life seems to be the same as always. One big event that is frustrating right now is our home renovation project. I call it floor recovery. Why the heck anyone would paint glue and lay carpet on a beautiful hardwood floor is beyond me. Day two and the floor still looks horrible. The house stinks of chemical that didn't help. Tomorrow we will rent a floor sander. Ugh!

Nothing Much...

...Going on here. I worked today. Nothing to stressful though. I hate weeks like this week where I have to really struggle to find things for others to do. Why can't people think for themselves sometimes? I hate being the "go to" person for jobs... (things for people to do) I want all the work for myself so I can get more hours... If I'm being honest.... Of course, I don't really do that but.... tempting....

Day off to work?

So, I went to work today for all of 10 minutes. I was there to check my e-mail and the phone for messages that needed attention. I found a few things that I can take care of tomorrow.I find myself back at home. This means that I can clean out my dresser. I really need to go through and get rid of some things that I no longer wear or need. For now though I think that I will read and take a nap. Shhhh! My parents are all quiet and sleepy themselves downstairs. I wonder how long I can get away with resting. I really should clean some clutter though....... Later

Saturday shopping

I went downtown today and shopped with a 15% off card at participating stores. I was in charge of getting gifts for three people. I think that I managed o.k., but I'm going to CVS next weekend because they have the coolest bank/toy that I think that my nephew would love... The reason for going next weekend? I was given a special discount card by the manager of said CVS store today! I thought that he was so nice, because it was a card that isn't usually given out to the general public. How lucky am I?

Black Friday - Shopping

So.... I went shopping today. I didn't start early like some people do, but the mall sure was crowded while I was there. Some poor lady had her car stolen. I hope that she just misplaced where she had parked it, and is mistaken. I really don't know, but I felt bad for her just the same.

Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving and I'm feeling all sentimental and mushy. I shopped some (online that is) for Christmas. I think that my Mom will be happy, but my Dad? He is so hard to shop for. Doesn't need a thing that man.... except for chocolate!

Well....

It has been awhile! I am sorry to my small, very small fan base. Not much going on in my life besides work ect... I'm currently knitting a pair of socks for my Dad. I have started many for him, and have never, ever finished a pair. I'm hopeful this time because I am working on the foot of his sock now. (top down) I have more to say I'm sure, but will refrain for now. Maybe I'll have a thought to write about tomorrow!

Quiet Day

I tried to stay and work in the office today. (after the set was pushed in) There was NO heat, so I left. I am bummed because I really wanted to work today. Now I have had the laziest of days.

Ultra Weight Loss Brain Waves CD

Last night I listened to one of these CD's as I drifted off to sleep. Do you think that it is a coinsidence that I was starving all day long today? Hmmm...???

Walking

Well, I went for quite a walk today. It is so hot here. (high 80's) The I-Pod worked beautifully and kept me distracted from the heat factor. I am proud that I walked because I've had a headache all day and I still did it! It was about 3 miles in total. :-)

Looking great in 2008

I did it! I lost 3 pounds. I'm not sure how, but I'll take it! On another good note, I got music downloaded on my I-Pod. This will make walking a little more fun. Thank you Joe for giving me music!

Weekly update Looking Great In 2008

My focus this week has been to reduce the amount of sugar that I eat. This means no desserts and sweetner in my coffee. Now if I can get away from night time snacking I will be doing great! My goal for this challenge is to lose 30 pounds. I really would be happy to get that far in my weight loss journey. This week I did not lose any weight. I did not gain either. I will do better this coming week.

Going for a walk

I went for a walk last night. It was so nice to be out in the air with friends for company. I sure am enjoying the cooler weather for sure! Today I will be cleaning and organizing in my bedroom. Wish me luck!
