Good morning Thursday!

Howdy do I was very soundly asleep when the clock went off at 4:30 a.m. It was a struggle but I got up ... dressed .. and off to 2 plus rounds on the circuit! I was having such a good time on the circuit that I HATED to come home to get ready for work. The gym is fun once I get there, but some times it's a struggle to get there. Looks like an 'empty' day on the calendar today. Hope it stays that way so that I can get some things finished up. I've got so many things in mid-process that get put down because something else comes up that I need a day to figure out where I am and how to get them done. I wore the new coat again today .. and of course now I am hearing about the heavy rain for later .. it figures .. hope that my leather doesn't get 'spotted' Yall have a wonderful day! Hugs, Mo

Good morning! You're a better person that I am at 4:30AM. I can't believe you do that! I get my kids in the evenings and then go to the gym, but it makes for a late dinner and late to bed, but I would rather do that than get up early in the morning! I hope your new coast doesn't get spotted!! I heard we're supposed to get 1"-2" of rain! At least it's not below freezing or we'd be getting 10-15" of snow! I went to the Holy Cross WLS support group last night with my sister-in-law. I didn't have my surgery there, but it is the easiest support group for me to go to, plus my SIL had hers there and she works there, so I get to see her every couple of weeks! We had a good time talking to the pre-ops and then discussing issues and new things that we're all experiencing. It's a great group of ladies who are several years out and newbies as well. Mo - I know what you are saying about getting interrupted. That's all that happens to me unless I close by office door! Might have to do that today because I have some compliance issues I have to resolve today! Ok, time to get back to work. Chat with you all later. Yvette

Yvette I discovered that there are fewer demands on my time at 5 a.m. than there are at 5 p.m. so I switched my gym schedule! I can pretty much make it to the gym every day this week where it wa**** and miss getting 2 to 3 nights during the week! Of course, at 8:00 p.m. I'm drooping and in bed by 9:00 I did the close the door thing a few weeks ago when I was working on a major project to get our budget presentation ready. I am generally very accessible to the department because I deal with their funky little issues all day but there are times when they NEED to leave me alone!!! Today is not a close the door day .. but I'm hoping to finish at least one or two of these research projects. Have a good one! Hugs, Mo

Morning - Pulling my hair out today - busy, busy - and I'm trying to leave at 12 so I can get some stuff done for the party tomorrow. At 5:10, when the alarm goes off, I normally begrudgingly get up. This a.m., knowing I pretty well prepared as far as clothes/lunch, etc., I decided to reset the clock for 5:30. Well, I did reset it, but it was the TIME, not the ALARM!! So at 6:05, my Dad hollers up the steps and asks if I'm going to work!!!! What a way to wake up!!!! I say, put that leather in a protective bag and RUN to the car if it rains. We can't have anything happen to Big Red now, can we???? I've decided that for my 40th bday, I want: Either a steamroller attachment for the front of my car OR a decal put on the windshield that says, "DRIVE IT LIKE YA STOLE IT!!!" Of course, I want it printed backward so that people in front of me can look in their rearview mirrors and see it - kind of like AMBULANCE!!!! Okay, enough, gotta run! Have a great day! Tia

(((( Tia )))) I think that is a definite plan for Big Red !!! I will NOT be wearing it in the rain this afternoon. Fortunately, I do have a reasonably heavy sweater on and it's going to be in the 50's??? I'll turn BR inside out (sort of) and carry an umbrella. The good news is that I DO have an umbrella!!! I didn't even think to ask if you needed a photographer for the party! If I had been thinking I would have volunteered my services and come and shot the party for you and put everything on a CD for you do with as you wished. At this point it would be hard to arrange it .. especially if I remember correctly that the party is in Havre de Grace ... and I have Verizon coming to my house at 8 a.m. (or there abouts) on Saturday a.m. I am going to be thinking of you every time I see that AMBULANCE in my rear view from now on!!! I love the idea of the drive it like ya stole it .. but the people *****ally need it would slow to down to try to figure out WHAT it means!!! Hugs & smoochies, Mo

Nuts!! I didn't even think about Photog Mo!!! Although we do have someone on staff taking care of it - I'll definitely keep you in mind for the next one!! Yeah, right, Verizon will be there at 8 - yeah, right. Thanks, Tia

Hey there Tia!! I am sorry about your resetting the time and not the alarm!! I know you must have been hopping off that bed. Ha ha ha I will be thinking of you when I see an ambulance too. he he he I love the idea maybe we can find some one to get it done. When is your birthday? Have a great day sweetie. hugs, Cira

Good Morning Mo!! I must you say you are a courageous woman because I could never ever make it to a gym at that time. I always say I want to be just like you when I grow up! lol I am glad you made it because I am sure it gets you energized for the entire day. I hope you have a wonderful day and make sure to not let "Red" get wet put it in a bag and run to your car. Big hugs to my SHero! Cira only 5 days until my Re-Birth Oh man guess what hubby just went to see the doctor he throat is killing him and his ear too. I am staying away from him. lol Nothing is holding me back this time around.

Cira! This is a mutual admiration society then .. cause I could never manage two little ones the way you do!!! I do feel very energized all day ****il I run out of steam about 8 p.m.) when I work out in the morning. The days I do cardio my butt is a bit kicked but the strength days I feel like I can take on the world. I hope Gino feels better .. and you are right .. STAY far away from him!!!! Hugs & smoochies, Mo

Hey Mo! I hope you don't wind up with a leopard looking coat Glad to hear your workout went well. I've been a slug...well, not a total slug, but haven't made it back to the gym yet either - I will get there! Take Care, Terry
