Morning IL Friends,

Hoping all is well with everyone.

It's Holy Week. My favorite time of the year. I did not put an Easter tree up this year. G cut back my ***** willow tree last fall in error, and they did not come back. I could just cry. I usually cut the branches to make my tree like my mom always did. I planted that tree outside my moms bedroom window when she lived with us and it always grew and blossomed so beautifully. I would never tell G he killed my mom's bush, but I could just sob when I think about it.  

We are having a 12 hour Prayer vigil from 7p to 7a on Good Friday. I dont know how long I can go, but i am excited to see what God does.

I have a meeting tonight and that's about it.

Hugs dear ones!

Sharon

I ventured out today, I did not do too bad except that wind is nasty.

Back to work for me tomorrow.  I am actually bored of watching TV and napping. I am a morning person so I expect my energy to be zapped by 10:30ish. I will just take it slow and spin in my chair. Oh wait I will get dizzier than I am now, bad idea.

Good Morning,

We are getting some rain and a bit of wind.  It is moving north and east.

No plans for today except to make a chicken dinner. I was hoping to do it on the grill, but, the oven will work fine.

Two more days until the official layoff. I decided to bring home everything that is mine. I generally leave stuff there like coffee mugs and stuff, but I really don't know what is going to happen.

I have Morgans room almost done spring cleaning, and about 1/3 of the "train room".I told Hubert how many rolls of tp I found in there, as well as paper towels, he laughed. He also promised to not buy anymore untill we can see the back of the cabinet it is in. We will see.

I am going to see what is for breakfast, probably cottage cheese with fruit and granola sprinkles for crunch.

Hugs,

 

 

going to have some

Hi Peeps,

Where did March go to??????? I cannot believe it is almost Easter.

I am getting ready to leave for church soon, but wanted to stop by before i forget.

Feeling very pooped this am since I was out late last night at the concert. I didnt get to bed until almost midnight, and this old lady is not a night owl. Unfortunately, my internal clock woke me at the butt crack of dawn as usual. But the concert and dinner was lovely. Gal pals are the best.

Today we arent doing much. Yay.

What's on your agenda??????

Be joyful in this glorious day the Lord has made.

Hugs,

Sharon

Hi Lisa and Friends,

Lisa, Your job situation is stressful! It would effect anyone......Us humans tend to push our emotions; like stress, away from the surface of our minds and then a day or two later we wake up tired, lose our appetites, overeat, feel grumpy , get snappy, cant sleep etc. and wonder why? I am the queen of this. This too will pass dear one! God has a perfect plan for you.

I went for a cut yesterday and as I was getting up from the chair, I say to my hairdresser how do u like my color. She says, "I hate it." I was like, "me too". She says, lets change it right now. Boy, what a difference. i went from light red to deep red. I feel so much better. It's amazing what a trip to the beauty parlor can do!

Tonite I am going to a concert with 4 girlfriends. We are going to see Big Daddy Weave .....my all time fave band. It will be great. Today, I am going to try and finish the Easter baskets for the babies. I usually fill them with their spring clothes and one toy. No candy.

My 2 older males (ages 7 and 9) are barfing and I think it's hairballs. Nancy, what should i do????????

It was nice to wake up to no blowing snow today and blue skys. Now all we need is a little warmth....

Well my chicks I'm off to do some computer work for church.

Have a lovely day today....you deserve it and more.

Hugs,

Sharon

Happy Saturday,

This is the last weekend of March. Hopfully, April brings warmer weather.

I was feeling kinda blah yesterday, nothing really bothering me, just tired and not the least interested in food. This morning, I am fine.

I have a few things in my mind to do today and tomorrow, I am getting a start on my spring cleaning.

What is on your agenda today?

Lisa

T.G.I.F.! I went back to the gym today, 2 days in the last 3 days. Did a light workout since I'm still sore in my upper arms and my triceps too are sore, so my main workout for today is the NuStep for 40 minutes.

Sharon: I know, no pain, no gain right? The first workout is worth the pain, you got that right about a different from pain of disease and not moving. Thank you.

Have a great night everyone.

TGIF,

Sharon, I always get laid off in the spring. But that is usually May 30th. This is 4checks and milage checks early.

Heading out shopping, then comeing home and doing something. Not sure what yet. Hubert is still not feeling good, at least he is off work today.

My daughter Monica called earlier, she wants to do a Passover seder at her house next Saturday evening. I told her we will be there, The only thing she wants me to do is chopped liver. N.P. I will also do a flourless chocolate cake.

Crystal, whoever gave you the idea that there is cheap living? There are always new things that pop up.

We didn't get any of the snow you got up your way, the sun has been out since early this morning.

Have a great day,

Hugs,

Lisa

Hello everyone

I am not happy about this weather....of course I now have the car for it. 

I am happy it's Friday!!!  Woohoo!!!

We have been looking at houses the last few days and again today after work.  I find it exciting.  Looking at these houses and trying to picture myself living there.  Oh it will be nice to be in a house instead of an apartment.  I will have a garden!!!

28K....if I was living on my own that would not be enough for me to live on.  Pay rent, bills, food, etc.    With the current bills I have now.  I have to remember I have a NEW car payment now!!!  Ugh...no more cheap living.

Well here's to wishing for Summer....have a good day all.

Hi Peeps,

Happy Weekend Eve!

Carla, be glad you escaped to FL, it is another blustery cold day here in IL. We woke to a blowing snow storm, but it has slowed down a bit so I am going to go to the gym. Hopefully by the time you return it will really feel like spring....or summer.

Lisa, I am so sorry about the lay off.......but I must say, I would be delighted to work winters and be off summers. Its like being a school teacher. But again I know it isnt easy knowing whether you will have a job come fall again. I think you will.

Speaking of jobs; someone in their late 50's told me the other day after they got laid off from their 85K a year job, the job they found 2 years later pays 28K. They are just happy to be working. I have heard of this scenario more than once.  I do see many minimum wage positions available but no full-time ones. I guess mid management professionals have a new normal. 

Dawn, how is your new job coming along?

Jason, I know its painful to work out initially, but the pain is different from the pain of disease and not moving. Proud of you for getting out there.

Crystal, glad you have bum warmers in this weather.

Happy Birthday Connie! Hugs and besitos.

Hugs to all my IL Snow Bunnies today........and My FL one too.

Be safe and rejoice in this day the Lord has made.

Sharon
