Tuesday Roll Call

Good morning Octoberites!!!!! For me, it is work, of course, today. Tonight, we just HAVE to get working on the quilt squares. My neighborette seems to have procrastinated this project until the very last minute! We are having a shower for our other neighbor who had a baby August 13th and we are having each member of the two families decorate a quilt square for him. The shower is THIS Saturday and we have not even begun! Oh well.....we will just have to rally to get it done in time. I am a bit upset with David.......Last Friday, I took his football coaches to task for threatening to bench David for the rest of the season because he was going to miss a Fresh/Soph game due to the commitment to go camping with his Boy Scout troop that was made last April. (David is a Freshman, and they only let them play in the Friday game if they are winning big anyway, then, only in the last quarter.) Anyway......I really gave them H*LL, and told them and their bosses that they WOULD NOT be benching David for doing what is right. What does David do??????? He did not go to practice last night!!!!!! Now, I just look like a royal b**ch, trying to make excuses for my "precious" son. Hopefully, today will be a better day. I am looking forward to Sunday, when a bunch of us from the Illinois board are going to get together for a "meet and greet" in the suburbs of Chicago. We are meeting by a big shopping mall and an Ikea store. I think I will check out Ikea.....I've never been there and have heard that it is pretty cool. There is also a Trader Joe's not too far from there, so I may pop over there too!!! Trader Joe's ROCKS!!!!!!! I like Lisa's idea of the anniversary stories, and I will start working on mine, even though I don't think it is very interesting...... I also need to get my rings sized and you girls have given me incentive to see how many sizes I've lost there too! What is going on in your corner of the world???? Dawn

Dawn - Enjoy your meet and greet! That sounds like fun. Sorry to hear about your son....who knows what is going through the mind of a teenager half the time. Today I am also working. After work I am teaching two piano lessons and then heading off to the gym for a kick boxing class. I'm really looking forward to that. I've been majorly stuck in a "workout rut" lately. I've only been doing my water aerobics (and at this point I'm in better shape than the instructor - so it's not much of a workout) and running some with the dog at night (in the dark when no one else can see) - but it's certainly not enough of a workout for me. I'm hoping the kick boxing will be the "kick" I need (ha ha). Hope everyone enjoys the day....the weather here in Southeastern, PA is positively BEAUTIFUL! I just love fall!

I am SOOO jealous!!!! Could you send some of that exeercise motivation my way????? I DID actually get up half an hour earlier today and rode the stationary bike. I am going to try to continue doing it like that, but I really like my sleep too..... Dawn

I would NEVER be able to excercise in the morning....I stay in that cozy bed until the very last possible moment every day. Talk about motivation..ha...last night I went to the class, stood in the back and watched these super fit and toned ladies filter in...the instructor walked out...looking like one of the trainers on Biggest Loser..with her headset on, the music cranked and they all started jumping and kicking and punching and....um...I walked right out! HA! That was too intense for me... I hightailed it over to the fitness center and all the treadmills where unplugged (they were installing new equipment). My only option for the night was this thing called a tread climber...sort of like a combo eliptical, stair climber, and treadmill all-in-one... I managed to get myself up to my 4 to 4.5 mph pace on it - but it was hard to do without losing my balance and falling off. I did 30 min. on that blasted thing and beat if out of there fast. I guess I need to find another "fun" class to keep me motivated.

Hi ya!! Busy with school work and stuff today. We went to Joshua's 1st Dentist appointment today and the verdict was "They are perfect". LOVE the sound of that lolol. He had a blast and I was just glad it was over. We are about half way though our school work today. Going to be a short work day as we were gone most of the morning in town. Also got busy on my Oct Cards. Lots of people seemed to have joined in so should be a very fun month. Hard to believe we are almost a full year out. Crazy how fast its gone. Welp gotta get to getting. Have a super rest of the day!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Good morning!!! I am working as well today. It's awfully slow here, though!! My boss has decided he wants me to become a residential electrical inspector -- so, I am trying to read the book -- TALK ABOUT BORING!!! I'm reading, but I don't understand a thing I am reading!!!!!! Nothing exciting tonight....it's been beautiful during the day and really cooling off in the evening, which makes sleeping so much easier!!! Our next door neighbor is tearing down his house -- they had a huge bees nest -- well, guess what? The bees have built a nest around one of my bedroom windows!! We couldn't figure out where all the bees were coming from!! We kill anywhere from 12-15 bees a day! Last night my hubby was looking around and found the nest, so tonight he is going to take some bee/hornet spray and try to kill it....That should be interesting!!! We don't really have anything planned for the weekend. We get our Princess Raven on Monday evening at 5 pm.... Have a wonderful day!! Holly
