Tuesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

This humidity is killing my sinuses.  But I see this weekend it will be much more enjoyable. 

I am going to complain.  You know how we have it drilled on our heads we need to make sure we eat all 3 of our meals.  They have done research/ studies that show people that skip their meals are more likely to be obese.  That skipping breakfast is an obese person's habit.  I have read these and have been told these things over and over again.  I relgiously make sure I get all 3 meals.  I used to skip breakfast all of he time.  My complaint is I see skinny people skip meals all of the time...at work...and more specifically Chris.  He is rail thin.  I have tried to "fatten" him up and he eats every bite I put in front of him.  But he is not gaining at all.  My theory is because when I'm not around his eating habits are horrible.  He drinks coffee for breakfast.  Grabs...chips or something like that for lunch...and then eats a dinner.  So this whole thing of skipping meals is starting not to ring true.  He doesn't gain.  when he's with me he eats all meals and in fact inhales them.  He goes back for seconds almost always.  Loves chocolate and candy.  So why he's sooo skinny...I just don't know.  Everyone else in his family is a bit overweight. 

Don't worry I'm not changing my habit...I will keep eating my 3 meals. 

I have nothing special going on today.  What about you guys??? 

Well I got to go...have a good day...see ya later...bye

 

 

Good Morning Everyone!

It is going to be brutal out there so please be careful!  Drink lots of water and dont over do it today!  I am so thankful for ac.  I am a wimp when it comes to this heat. 

Crystal, I think the answer is all in how a person's body metabolizes food.  I had a sister that was like Chris.  She could and did eat anything.  Me, I looked at the food and gained weight.  It is not fair.  Some people are just better users of the calories that they take in and  their bodies do a better job of burning them.  Unfortunately for people like me, we are destined to watch EVERY mouthful for life.  Food can never be a pleasure to eat at will.    Life is not fair!

I am doing everything in my power to stay cool.  We have been very busy at work which makes the day fly by.  I have improved on my handling time so things are looking better in that dept.  Things are getting better with the supervisor after the big pow wow.  So there seems to be a little less pressure at work.  Now if my customers would quit being so dumb it might be enjoyable!

No special plans for me today.  Work and home to the ac.  That suits me fine.  It is too hot to run around.  Fluffer will be going to the vets today.  I think he may have a urinary blockage.  If it is not one cat it is another. 

Everyone have a great day and try to stay cool. 

 

 

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

It was so hot last night that the air did not reach all the way upstairs and I gave up about 3:30 am and went down to sleep on the couch.  Liv is already sleeping on the other couch so the Brazilians can have her room (with two beds).  She wakes up and complained that she was COLD.  I told her to be quiet or the ones from upstairs might have her head!  Due to the interuption of sleep, I am a tiny bit tired today.

Nothing big happening for me.  Figures.....I finally get my porch done and it is too hot to sit out there.  Hopefully, it will be better this weekend.  "A Day in Rock City" is Saturday so it will be utilized.

Crystal, I totally get what you are saying.  I HATE that I will forever have to watch every bite and some don't.  Nancy is right and some people's bodies just utilize calories better than others.  NOT FAIR!!!!!!

We have lots of food leftover from my grill-fest so dinner will be a snap!

Everyone have a splendid day!

Good evening guys!

Grrrr! They always fertilize my grass when we don't get rain and its 100 degrees out! I shouldn't complain. This year I have mowed my lawn more in one week than I did all last year. Today was my last day in the office until August 22nd. I do go to Santa Monica California next Wednesday for a work trip.I'm not nervous one bit. This year is the first year that I'm not going to Monterey California in August for work, because Maddie starts middle school and I'm not gonna miss her first day of middle school for nothing. Family comes first in my world and always will! Plus, dad can't do hair as well as me Glad to see that everyone is surviving the heat. Maddie and I were supposed to go to Chicago tomorrow and do the touristy things, but we are gonna pass and go when it's cooler out. Have a great night guys.
