3 THINGS FOR TGIF!!

HAPPY FREAKY FRIDAY!!!!  WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!!!  Hope everyone gets outside and enjoys their weekend!!  I have LOTS planned, some of it outside, I just don't know that I'll be able to accomplish everything.

Today, I'm grateful for:

1.  Time with friends - My bff, Lisa, and I were supposed to go to The Cheesecake Factory last night, but we both had errands to run in White Marsh, so we met at Chili's.  Margaritas and Southwest Egg Rolls - and leftovers!!!!  It was just SOOOOOOO nice to sit and catch up.  We email each other daily and talk on the phone about once a week, but it's not like in person.  We discussed our eventual plans to open up a tea room once I can retire.  I'm going to look into some classes for running a tea room business so I can start preparing for the next phase of my life.

2.  K's fever has finally, I think, broken.  She still feels horrible, but it looks like the Motrin/Tylenol ****tail is working.  Still keeping my fingers crossed that B doesn't get it!!!

3.  Ulta - I just LOVE that store.  Picked up some neat stuff last night - some gifts....and gifts for Tia!!!  I don't care how bad the economy gets, if I'm going to be standing on a corner panhandling, dammit, I'm gonna look GOOD!!!!  LOL!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!  I'll be leaving early today @ 2 for a 3:00 dental appointment, so after that, it'll be up to you!!

Tia

Good Morning;

Hope K gets better soon ; and hope you get to get everything done you want .

1.  My sweet little Furbaby Cuddles:  When I got home last night at 9:15 she was
so excited to see me :  Gotta love that unconditional love.

2.  For my friends :  had extended email conversations and text conversations
yesterday -  Damn shame we all have to work for a living but thank God for
the technology that keeps us all in touch.

3.  That its Friday

4.  That we have gotten rid of the white  stuff on the ground and I can go back
to wearing regular shoes LOL -- I was so sick of the clunky ankle boots LOL
not to mention the heavy winter coat.

5.  That we are planning the trip to NYC -- I am so excited
 

Hey Darla!!!

Actually, we still HAVE white stuff on the ground at home - our side of the street hardly gets any strong sunlight, but I'm hoping it'll be gone this weekend.  Happy refuses to walk in the snow!!!

I'm excited about NYC, too - still looking at some tours.  I'm inclined to NOT do the double-decker Gray Line buses - the last time we did that, they made SOOOO many stops that we were running REALLY late and ended up having to leave the bus and RUN for the subway to catch our bus home in time.

Have a great weekend!

Tia glad K is better. I havae always wanted to go to the Ulta store but am very scared of what I might do there . I went to macys to the Mac counter and dropped 200.00 my husband said if you want it get it so I did. He said I will work more OT. I understand what you mean.. Sorry you didnt go to cheesecake factory I still want to go there. We have a new one at Annapolis mall. Maybe soon I will go..

Today I am greatful for :

 1) My oldest son is coming home from Boston after a long week.

 2) It is Friday so tommorrow I can sleep in.

 3) I paid that BGE bill so I will have electric for another month. I will worry about the rest next month.

 4) My friend called and was crying in pain. I asked what can I do for you and she said chocolate chip cookies. I went and got her cookies and ice cream and I was stronge enough to resit eating them with her....Thank God for that strength....




HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE..... Julie

TGIF! Really - I am so ready for the weekend, even if they are taking an hour of it away from me! After all, I really need my "beauty" rest!

Glad to hear K is showing some positive signs. As sick as she has been, I think this may take a while before it is just a memory.

I am trying to keep myself out of Utla right now. I find way too much stuff interesting in there. In fact, I have made a resolution that I have to use up my existing stock of "stuff" before I buy any more! Besides being less wasteful, this will also help me find more room in the cabinet!

I am looking forward to the day I can meet Cuddles!

Wow, Julie! Great willpower besides being there for your friend!

Today I am grateful...

1 - For finally having a really good day yesterday. I ate right, I worked out. I feel good inside and out. Now the challenge, as always, is to string some more of these good days together! I am determined to have a good, productive weekend.

2 - Friends - I will be seeing some friends that I have not seen since Christmas this weekend. On top of that we will be seeing a play at CCBC - Dundalk. I love live theater, big and little.

3 - My OH friends. I know this has been said before. It is amazing to me how much this site means to me. I never really understood how on-line sites could really eveolve into something meaningful. Now I get it. Obviously the common connection brings us together. Underneath the fun commraderie there is such a wonderful give and take on a personal level amongst everyone. We share the good, the bad and everyhthing else. Thank you for giving of yourselves. You are truly a blessing to me!

Have a fabulous weekend and get out there and breathe in some wonderful fresh air!

Debbie

Hey Deb!!!

Thanks, the doctor did say it's going to take a few days before she even begins to feel better.  SIGH.

I hear you on resisting ULTA!!  I actually had to buy a gift, and only bought myself some necessities.  Okay, so the lipgloss IS a necessity in Tia-land, but I didn't like it and it's going back.  They have a great return policy!

I'm glad things are coming together for you - it truly IS a chore to string all the good days together, but all you can do is your best - and I know you try!!

Have a great weekend and enjoy some Deb-time!

Hugs,

T

Hey Julie!!

Oh, yeah, Ulta's dangerous for me, but Sephora is MUCH more dangerous - they have more stuff and pricier stuff, too!!  Scary!!!  Good thing the closest one's in Towson and I hate navigating that mall, so I don't go there often.

I've never been to Boston, always wanted to go!!!  Enjoy having your boy back!!

If you don't mind my asking, was your friend in physical or mental pain?  Glad you were able to help her, and glad YOU resisted!!  It's hard, I know, but you'll thank yourself eventually!!!  Sounds like you're a good friend!!

You have a great weekend, too!

Hugs,

Tia

6.  It's Friday!

7.  I could only eat the toppings off of two pizza slices last night and I felt the restriction for real this time.  So KEWL!!!!!

Tia My friend has arthritis throughtout her body and is 65 and overweight she has been trying to diet as well. She also just found out she has 3 herniated discs in her back and needs a second knee replacement. So it was real physical pain she is getting ready to have epedural nerve blocks in her back. She hopes that will help...

 I also would love to know about the mystery shopper. I have heard that they are fake.. I dont know though but it sounds like alot of fun...I see adds for them in the paper. I guess some could be for real..
