Saturday Roll Call

Well, the long awaited weekend is here for me. I have a few things to tackle around the house before we head off to church for the Saturday service. We also are going out with a couple of team members for dinner afterwards to a place called Bonefish Grill. It is an upscale fish restaurant, but casual. When I say upscale, I mean linens on the table but you can go in jeans and not be out of place, you do not have to get all gussied up. I plan on going into work for a couple of hours on Sunday to get caught up on some paperwork that I could not get to yesterday. It is real time consuming to rip and burn arrest DVDs and that is what I did for most of yesterday, seven of them. I even was there for an additional hour finishing up.   I kept getting interrupted, even when I was there on my own time.   One of these days I am going to zap someone with my imaginary weapon and say to not bug me! Good thing I was there because I got a call from a guy that had numerous outstanding ordinance violation tickets and he wanted to pay them. He was lucky because I was going to send them to court next week! Now, let's see if he really pays them as he said he was. Well, need to get moving here and start a couple loads of laundry. The kitchen rugs need it bad. . . Take care and come on in and tell the rest what is cookn' in your world. Christine

Good Morning Chris & the rest of IL - I've been quite busy working my two jobs.  I'm really enjoying Bakers Square.  I think it's helping my weight loss.  I figured it was going to help provided I could keep from snacking like everyone else does thru the shift.  I've lost three lbs in the last four days.  That has not happend for many months.  So I'm very happy about the weight loss and I'm amazed at how good I feel.  Serving is even more physical then I thought.  It's been a little rough on my feet but they are already in bad shape and I was supposed to have surgery last month and postponed it.  We had way too much going on for me to be laid up too.  So I'm thinking I may have it around the same time Calvin has his gb surgery.  Provided we get thru all the hoops and red tape with him.  His family doc has signed off.  He has the sleep study on Monday night.  The biggie is going to be the appointment w/ his liver doc next month. Alright..  I'm at work right now so I really need to get busy.  I hope everyone has a great day! Christina

I was just thinking about you a little while ago and wondering how it was going with Bk Sq. Yeah, sometimes even when you have your fingers in the pie ( ) you can still loose weight. That is great probably the extra activity that is doing it plus not having time to snack. Hey girl your 1 year surgiversary is coming up, WOOHOO! The only way I remember it is because it is my oldest sister's birthday also. Chris

Hi Chris - Yes, my one year is coming up fast.  I think staying busy in the evenings is a biggie for me.  I know for me and Calvin both, when we're home in the evenings, we have a tendancy to snack more even if they are healthy choices, those calories add up.  I think it's the brain game, "I'm bored syndrome" so lets eat. Hope you and Dave have a great day.   Christina

Today I am going to workout then to my parents house for a bean bag tournament. I hope it does not rain. Just got my class roster and there are 30 kids!!

30 kids, yikes! What grade level? Have fun at the bags tournament. Our neighbors have a "traveling" trophy for bags. They took a horseshoe trophy and attached tiny, tiny blue and red fabric to the hand on it and it goes home with the team that wins for the weekend!  Chris

Well they are high school kids taking a college credit course!! I like the idea of a traveling trophy.

It was just a cute little idea amongst neighbors. We have fun.

I'm off to work for 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow.  Worked 2 10 shifts the last two days and I'm just back at work from extensive plastics 4 weeks ago.     I suspect that some of the people I'll be dealing with this weekend are some of the same people that Christine will run across in her work.  I call it job security.  It sure would be nice to make other plans for the weekend.   As I'm now missing my afternoon naps, I hope I can stay awake while driving home tonight.  At least I'm packing healthy meals.   It;s unlikely I'll get any exercise other than the usual running around since I predict I won't even make it all the way to the bedroom before I go into my coma sleep tonight.  Hope everyone else gets to enjoy their weekend. Luckyme

Actually, the chief that hired me 28 yrs ago told me that if I play my cards right I will always have a job, crime will be with this world for the rest of our natural lives I am afraid.  Take care of yourself and get some much needed rest. Chris
