Hello everyone

I am getting more excited about Amanda coming back.  I can't wait to see her.  I got her flight info today. Well Peace Corp will book her flight with the cheapest they can find.  I guess the cheapest flight they could find is goes to Bloomington.  So I will be driving down to Bloomington to go get Amanda.  Oh well.  The time I spend driving down there is about the same I would be fighting traffic to O'Hare...

Today I am going to Marianos for produce and such for Amanda.  And then that's it for my day. 

I did buy a bike yesterday.  I bought a mountain bike....a Mongoose.  No special accessories....just a lock. 

Did I mention I a excited I will see Amanda soon!!!! 

Well back to work....have a good day all

I am not crazy about canned or boxed broths but I really like Kitchen Basics chicken stock. It has a more robust flavor.

Ugh... I hate the humidity!!!  

Well I'm day 5 of the pre-op....9 more days  This darn shakes are too sweet.... it's making me nauseated! Anyways I was also having chicken broth.... and that was ok. But another sleever told me about Swanson's "other" broths... I got the Mexican tortilla... and OMG... I almost cried.. it was the best thing ever!!! I used to make my tortilla soup using the soup starters packages... heck no I will use this broth as the base, post op I can add shredded chicken and veggies and perfect.. not alot of other garbage would be in it!!... That so gave me the boost I needed!!!

I also went on a job interview today an office job. I informed them that I was having a "procedure" and would be available 10 days post op. It's an sit down job, so no strenuous work, or any lifting.  Wish me luck my unemployment runs out end of Sept. :(

Hope you all have a good day ... try to stay cool.

Good Morning,

No rain here, but humidity is bad here too.

My plans for today and the rest of the week are to finish up all the little projects that are started. I di get one bench painted, now I want to paint the front porch swing.

Otherwise, life is dull at this time. I start back to work 9 days.

Hugs,

 

Lisa

This really sounds good. I especially love Brusell sprouts.

What brand of bike, speeds, color, accessories? I finally talked Dave into me buying him an adult tricycle. He misses riding. He can no longer navigate being on a two wheeler with his neuralogical condition.

Another round of payroll today and I finally feel comfortable with most of it.

Off to do pictures.

Hi All,

I spent the day cleaning and working on my Burgoo project. It has to be done befor I go back to work, so I can not be stressed over getting it done.

The boys got the steps done in the entrance yesterday, now at least we can get to the basement and if I have time in the next few days, I will be able to get down there and at least get a few bags of trash out.

Crystal, Amanda will be home as soon as she can. I bet she will surprise you and call from Ohare and tell you to pick them up.

Hugs,

 

Lisa

Hello everyone

I spent the whole day yesterday getting my place ready for Amanda.  And I even made some chocolate chip cookie dough and froze it.  It will be ready for her.  I ran out and did some shopping and I tell you by the end of the day I was pooped. 

Today I have one thing left to do I didn't get done yesterday.  I have to wash my comforter.  I want my bedding nice clean for her.  Then of course I have lots of grocery shopping to do and meals to plan. 

But the most exciting thing I am doing today....I am buying a bike.  Yep...I decided it's time.  Amanda will be moving her stuff out of my closet so I will have room for more things.  I let her store things in my closet while she was gone.  I can't wait to go bike riding again!!!

Anyway, Amanda won't know her exact flight info till later today or tomorrow.  Leave it to Peace Corp to wait till the mast minute.  I wish we knew so I can plan more.

So what are you guys up to today?

Well back to work.  See you all later.
