3 THINGS FOR WEDNESDAY!

Hi everyone!  Talked to Cira last night, Baby Gia was more alert and interactive yesterday than she's been in several days.  They're still waiting for some test results to come back before they send them home, so keep your fingers crossed!! Today, in addition to that, I'm grateful for: 1.  Buffalo Wild Wings - Their Asian Zing wings and Parm Garlic wings rock!!  Not really sure I understand the draw of wings - a little work, not much reward, but the sauces were killer!! 2.  That someone finally caught on to the concept of sweet & salty - I was in Wockenfuss Candies last night picking up teacher gifts and, like a gift from above, saw that they have chocolate covered caramels sprinkled with sea salt!!!  OMG!!!  And yes, I tried one - okay, fine, one of each - milk and dark!!!  I will SO be staying away from the mall!! 3.  That I cleared some junk out of my address books - cell phone, email AND mental.  I don't have time for people who don't have time for me - simple as that!!  Especially when it comes to the men I cleared out - kind of gives me mental permission to move on and not see a constant reminder of what went wrong!!! Yes, I have more than 3! 4.  That my self-esteem, which has always been pretty much non-existent, is SLOWLY being restored.  It doesn't help when you're faced with rejection, but I do feel better knowing that it's not ALWAYS me - sometimes it IS them!!!  Not that I think I'm all that on a stick, but if these men can't see past the fact that I'm NOT Barbie and likely will never be, to the fact that I'm a good, kind, caring person, well - tttbbbppptttt!!!! on you!!!  Your loss, bud, and when the next one takes - your money, your heart, your self-esteem, and stomps all over it like little bugs, well, DON'T come running back to me.  Remember that in Tia-ball, there are only TWO strikes!!! Okay, I'm better now!!  Your turn!! Have a great day! Tia

mmmmmmmm ...   I'm not ungrateful, but 3 things might be a struggle ... 1) That Baby Gia is getting better  2) The heat seems to have broken .. at least for now 3) The scale has inched downward slowly but downward none the less Hugs, Mo

Hi Moie - Sometimes, I think I can't think of ANYTHING, but thanks to a longish commute, I usually can come up with something!! Yes, I'm so glad Gia's on the upswing.  They need rest SO much, and Cira's coming down with a cold - I'll be so relieved when they're home.  Her other two babies at home cry when they find out she's not coming home quite yet. My mailman will be quite happy with your #2!!! #3 is ALWAYS a good thing, regardless of the speed! Tia

I totally agree on the two strikes..

I am thankful for:

1. I am off work today and spending it at the salon, getting manicures and pedicures (Bethany-oldest daughter, Sydney-youngest daughter and I)-Im an addict!!

2. Being Brave-Bethany is leaving for Ocean City on Thursday...She will be down there for 10 days without her mother..sob...Sydney is leaving for Sarasota on Sunday with my mother and wont be bac****il the end of July. My middle daughter is staying with me...she doesnt want to go anywhere....I guess she will be glad of all the attention.

3. Making it another week without quitting..I hate my job.

Hey Heather - What a great way to spend the day!!!!!  Have a wonderful day with the girls!!! Hugs to you - I know you'll miss them, but just think of all the stories they'll have to share when they get back. Right there with ya on the job - although I think I hate the idea of working more than I hate my job. Tia

Ok lets see 1. For my slow-cooker. I think I have feel in love with the easy healthy recipes you can prepare in that thing!! 2. For AC again. I know its not as hot today but I REALLY hate the heat!! 3. I know this is a weird one, but my cell phone. I use it for sooo many things and I love it. I would be lost without it!!

Hey April - Oh, yeah, LOVE my slow-cooker.  So's my brother - or he probably wouldn't eat as well as he does.   I am SO with you on the AC.  The ONLY time I like the heat is during my beach week in July - beyond that, even post-op, give me 50 degree days!!!!! Tia

Three things for Wednesday: 1.  The heat has finally broken (Okay maybe only for one day, but I need a break). 2.  Today is my 3 week dr's appointment ( I thought it was yesterday, but I was wrong). 3.  That I still have some pain pills from my surgery.  I had a hard time sleeping last night and had to take 1/2 of a pill.  Still up and down all night. Okay ~ will someone please find Tia a GOOD man.  She deserves it.  I don't know any single ones that I would hook you up with or I would.  It's kinda like when you tell someone that this is the best ever restaurant and then they go and have a lousy meal.  Nothing ever lives up to the hype.  I'll keep looking.

Hey Lisa - Keep us posted on the appt!!!  I remember those up and down nights after surgery.  Very weird.  In addition to the weird dreams I would have after I took the Percocet, it would make me wired AND tired - not a good combo!!!  Midnight might find me passed out or it might find me cleaning the bathroom!! It'll pass!!! Hey, didja tell Z I said HEY? Tia

Hey Tia: I haven't talked to him as of yet, but I'll be seeing him soon.  Family reunion in a couple of weeks.  I'll be sure to mention you.
