Saturday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I hope everyone had a good commute yesterday.  All I have to say is good thing I only live a mile away from work because I broke my windshield wiper arm.  I couldn't use my wipers at all till they were fixed.  So it was hard to see out of my car.  When I got to work I found the guy that helped me last time with my tire and asked him to look at my wiper.  I wanted to see if it was broke or if it could be snapped back on.  I couldn't get it back on but I thought maybe I was doing something wrong.  He said it was broke.  He said it wasn't safe for me to drive without wipers and he sent one of his guys (he is the foreman of our fabrication shop) to the closest auto parts store!!!  I told him he didn't have to do that.  And he said the part was going to cost $7 and he can get it on my car in 5 seconds.  Not to worry.  And he did it and refused to let me pay him back!!!  He such a good guy...and like I said before it's so nice to have a guy treat you like a daughter. 

I have to weigh in...I'm afraid to see what the results are.  I have been on steroids and they make me munch and munch.  I tried to be good and reach for healthy stuff.  The only thing I can honestly say that I went overboard with is the organic peanut butter...I finished what I had here in the house.  I kept having more and a little more.  But I guess that's better than eating chips!!!

I got my stuff done yesterday and got home and worked out and relaxed.  Today I am cleaning up around here and going to Walmart and the library and working out.  That is it for me.  How about you guys??

Well it's time for me to eat breakfast...enjoy your Saturday...bye 

Hi Crystal,

There is a guardian angel at your job that is being prodded by your other guardian angel, your grandma. Thank goodness you have someone who is there to help you. It aint easy being alone and having to keep all the balls in the air. I learned once there is no way to drive w/o windshield wipers. A couple years a go a big chunk of ice came off my hood and rolled down my windshield and broke my drivers side wiper on I-88. I had to call my husband to bring me a new wiper because i could not see and drive. I recall sitting at the Midwest Road exit for 1.5 hours.

2 of 3 of my meows have the sniffles .It came on fast.  I think I am going to have to take them to the vet. I hope it's a shot and not orals. If it's orals it isnt going to be easy with 2- 15 lb males who think they are the boss of this household. 

Today we have a day long training session at our church on Revival Training. It will be yummy. Then I am off to Costco to get a couple things. Then we will be in for the evening. 

What is everyone else up today?

Hugs,

Sharon

Sharon- A guardian angel...I guess I should look at that way.  I was feeling cursed...first my tire then the wiper!!!  It's all about perspective...hahaha!!!  Glass is half full!!!

My grandma would be my guardian too...she took care of me and took me in when I was a kid several times(when my parents were otherwise engaged...jail).  my grandma tried in vain to get my mom to sign over custody of me...but that didn't happen....I suspect for welfare.  I credit her in raising me and teaching me right from wrong...that kind of thing.  She taught me how to cook and sew and garden...she tried so hard to make me a lady...hahaha.  But I would spit or sit with legs open and she would say...oh Crystal...what is your mother teaching you...hahaha!!!  I would shock her with a dirty Limerick...but I didn't think it was that bad and she would say...Crystal,ladies don't tell dirty jokes or laugh at them.  I hate to tell her but I like dirty jokes and I have a dirty mind...oh well at least I can cook and sew!!!  But you know what I used to love the most...she would tuck me in at night and tell me stories of her when she was little...oh I loved to hear stories of the "old days"...even when I was older.  My famous pound cake that I HAVE to make for every occasion or I will be shot...is her secret recipe...and I will never tell anyone but Amanda the recipe.   

I hope your kittys feel better soon...

Good morning friends,

Off to knitting this morning and tonight we go to Abreo for dinner to celebrate our 27th anniversary. I am so lucky to be with such a wonderful partner who literally kept from from dying last year when I wanted to give up. She kept saying "we've got more living to do, traveling to take and people to see". She's been such a gift!

Have a great day!

Connie

Connie- You are very lucky to have that special someone...take it from some one that hasn't found that gift yet!!!  Have a great celebration!!

Good Morning, I know I posted eariler, but it is gone. I wonder what happened.

Anyway, nothing happening today. Just being lazy. No plans for the entire weekend.

The wedding is in 1 month, so, I am starting to think what I need to take. We are limiting ourselves to 1 suitcase each. We aren't even taking carryons. The airline Hubert booked us on charges for them. So, this will be interesting packing.

I heard we may be back to work by April. I am planning on a revision in April, so I may not get back to wor****il Sept. If not, that will be the longest time I have not been working in 20 years.

Have a great day,

Hugs,

LISA

Hello Everyone!

It is a laid back day for me.  The cats have all been snuggled and played with.  I have nosed around the computer and am doing great at accomplishing nothing today.  

Crystal, you are blessed to have such caring co workers!  It is nice to have someone to go to for help rather than having to figure it all out on your own.  That is indeed a treasure.  

Sharon, I hope your furballs are ok.  they can get so sick so fast.  I hate oral medicine and cats -- they do not mix!  I feel for you and your situation with Grathell.  Rick has the same problem.  Lately his blood sugar has been skyrocketing and he has been in the hospital several times.  He is in denial over portion control.  He cannot get through his head what a serving is and the info that he is getting is misleading.  So he stays away from sweets but cannot give up those carbs.  Today he was having lunch of 4 slices of bread, 2 eggs, 3 servings of chicken noodle soup plus reaching for another sandwich.  When I asked him how much he was going to eat he put the sandwich back.  He told me he was hungry and staying with the portions allowed!      ​I'd like to tallk to his doctors.  The sad part is he thinks he is obeying the instructions!  

Connie, Happy anniversary.  Kay is indeed a gift!  It is fantastic to have a partner who makes life worth living! 

Lisa, a lazy weekend sounds wonderful!  Where is the wedding going to be?  I think you should worry about your surgery rather than going back to work.  You need to take care of yourself!  Have a great weekend.  

Dawn, I am so sorry about Liv and the playhouse.  I do not blame her for not wanting to take time away from work for a small part.  It is not worth it.  Whatever makes her happiest is the best answer.

Have a great weekend!
