Monday Role Call

Good Morning All!! I am at work and had to take my lunch break early. Since it is to early for me to eat lunch I thought I would check the message board. My day started out bad. I spilled my coffee going around a curb on my way to work. Didn't even get one sip. It smelled so good too. Maybe someone is trying to tell me I didn't need the caffein anyway. This is one of my pitfalls. I have survived so far without it. Hope everyone has a lovely day and just think it has stopped raining and fall is in the air. Makes me think of that punkin pudding recipe. I'm stopping at Super Walmart after work to get the ingredients for it. Sounds so Yummy. I have not had but a taste of dessert in 6 months. That's ok because I'm down 104 lbs and going down slowly. See all lighter. Joanne

Good Morning Everyone, my day started out uneventful, I got up to get ready for work, drove there and was told that I was due in today at 1230pm instead of my normal 900am. I remembered this as soon as they told me, so I drove back home and here I am. Now I have to wor****il 9pm tonight, but that is OK, since my normal late day is Wed I no longer have to work that. I will get off of work on Wed at 5pm and not have to go bac****il Friday at 9am. Nothing exciting in my life today. Have a great Monday everyone. Deanna

Hello all, Nothing new will me today, went to have blood work done and then went and did some laundry, so it would not pile up. Other than that we bleached down the yard (after hubby got bleach all over my pants) and I am thinking I bearly have them now. I called curves to see how their membership works. I am hoping I can catch a special where the membership fee is not too expensive. But, oh well......that is my day only a couple more hours before the kids get home. Christie

Curves is having a 2 for 1 deal this month. You join with a friend and you get 1/2 off the registration fee. Last week they had a special that if you had proof of a recent mammogram they waived the registration fee. Double check on that one! They might still be running it for Breast Cancer Awareness munth.

I started my day chosing to work from home...sweats, slippers, fire going, a cup of hot decaf tea that I picked up in England. Nice to have All My Children on in the background...the only thing is, I usually start earlier and put in more hours when I work from home. I don't think I'm going to do that today though. I've been having problems with my upper back since August...it appears that with my center of balance changing that my back is having a hard time supporting the twins...as they haven't gone down significantly. I'm finishing my portion of my year end review, taking a hot shower, then a little Tylenol and codine and heading to bed...doesn't sound like a bad day. I don't know if anyone has tried the No Bake Riccotta Chocolate cookies yet, but I made some last week and they're FANTASTIC. I'm going to make more today!!! Anyway, that's my day...nice to be home. Joni

I am here Just came from my mom's house and wished my step sister farewell (she is flying home today) and put Chloe down for a late nap. She is quiet so I guess that's a good sign. I had put chicken in the crock pot for Jeff and Chloe since I have home interior meetings on Monday's but I just looked at my schedule and we don't have one tonight...yay...free night and dinner is practically made. I am thinking of asking hubby if he would like to go fishing or take Chloe to the park. Either way, we will take advantage of the night. Hope everyone else is having a great day. Robyn
