3 THINGS FOR THURSDAY!

Good morning all!!!  Hope everyone is well.  I'm fine, a bit tired, but tomorrow's Friday, so I'll survive.  Gary's dog, Killilan, my fur-niece, is actually doing well this a.m.  Yesterday, they went to the vet, *****ally has no clue what's going on with her without some more tests.  So they did some bloodwork and we'll get the results on Friday and go from there.  In the meantime, she's chasing the cat, and throwing her biscuit in the air and catching it.  Amazing!!  That dog has about 15 lives!!!  When K was first born, they had candy bars made as announcements, and Killian ate SIX of them.  Chocolate's deadly for dogs, but obviously, not this one!!!  So thanks for your good thoughts, but keep thinking them, cause I'm not sure we're out of the woods yet. Today I'm thankful for: 1.  Hot new sunglasses - I ordered a pair of Blublockers from QVC!  In addition to being cute, you can tell that they're really high quality.  Since I wear contacts, it's even more important to have good sunglasses, and these are great.  Now if I can just keep from losing them, scratching them or sitting on them, I'll be happy!

2.  Happy - My sweet little puppy makes me laugh constantly!!!  The other night, about 4:30 a.m., Iheard her scratching.  It sounded like she was under the bed, but when I looked she wasn't there.  So then it sounded like it was coming from the foot of the bed, but she wasn't there.  Finally, I figured out that she had been at the foot of the bed, under the sheets, and had somehow fallen off the bed, into the tucked in part of the sheet and was just kind of hanging suspended off the foot of the bed.  Poor thing!  I laughed so hard when I untucked the sheet and she just kind of "plopped" out.  Needless to say, I was up for the day then!!! 

3.  Beltway Eye Candy - I've realized something during my long drives to and from work.  Hot guys drive big trucks, not SUV's.  I've found that if you pull up next to an SUV on the Beltway, 9 times out of 10, it's occupied by a soccer mom.  HOWEVER, (Karen, pay attention here), if you see a big truck, it's USUALLY occupied by a young hot guy!!!  Just a bit of Beltway trivia for all of you!!!!!

Have a great day!  Now that it's getting warmer out, please remember to water your mailman!!

Sorry i wasn't here yesterday. I actually didn't go to work. I needed a mental day I guess. my hubby and i were going through something that might have resulted in the end of the marriage. luckily, after talking about things, we are in a better place. but the worry took its toll. i feel better today though sad that i can't manage my behaviors better. but what can i do?  i am grateful for: 1. the last three days, despite stress, i only ate carbs one time. and i've lost more weight. 7 lbs to be exact. thank god!!! 2. that i still have a job despite my erratic behavior. I know i should improve this; it's been going on since I graduated college. i'm a smart lady but very self destructive. 3. that i got here today. I am still a bit low but i was able to get out of bed eventually and got here at a reasonable time. 8 am, instead of closer to 9 am. the start time here is 7:30 am. crazy *******s. hope everyone has a good day. tia, i'm so glad to hear the news of your brothers doggy!

Nicole - I'm sending you a big hug along with my shoulder.  I'm glad that things are working out with hubby.  It's hard to manage all aspects of your life at one time when you're not having personal issues - when you are, it's darn near impossible.   I think you're doing great.  Just concentrate on the protein and the water as far as your wls goes, and hopefully, it'll become easier as your life becomes less stressful. Hugs, Tia

Good Morning: 1.  Heat wraps 2.  heat wraps 3. heatingpads

Today I am grateful for: 1. Skim milk....I was forced to use whole milk in my cereal this morning (because it was all that was available) and I thought I was going to gag 2. Sunny beautiful days. They always seem to put me in great mood. 3. For Jordan's Father. Eventhough things between him and I may have not worked out and we argue often and I can complain about him alot.  I appreciate how active he is in my daughter's life and appreciate how supportive he is about my decision. 

Hey April - Whole milk tastes way too sweet for me now!!  ICK!! I'm glad you're maintaining a healthy relationship with your daughter's father, it's so important and Jordan will love both of you for it!
