TGIF Coffee

Good Morning everyone and TGIF!
We've zoomed through another week and are looking at the last week in July. Getting ready to brew my pot of decaf and black, soon. The stock market is improving, so life in our recession is, hopefully, getting better.
QOTD-Our traditional Friday question: What's the weekend for you? Don't have any solid plans. Need to get some miles on my bike as the big ride, the DALMAC, is 6 weeks away. Will go over to help the new parents. May go to Farmers Market bright and early Saturday. We went mid-morning last week and it was crazy busy. So, need to get there around 8-ish.
Have a good Friday y-all
Deb

Hi Deb and Good Morning everyone.
I am up and getting ready to go to work once the babysitter gets here.  Breakfast is a piece of sf gum right now.  I can't decide what to have just yet.

I'm so jealous that you get to hang out with that cute baby today!  I saw Dub for just a bit and it wasn't long enough!  Babies are so cute!

QOTD-This weekend we are helping a friend move and interviewing a potential back-up babysitter.  Other than that, I'll hopefully be enjoying some pain medicine for my back and just sitting here watching it rain.  That's if I can get my PCP to call me back.  They said she was too busy yesterday to call me or call anything in.  So I'll also be looking for a new doctor.

PS-has anyone ever had a lemon and put a peppermint candy stick in it to drink the juice?  I know it sounds weird, but my mom used to take us to the Plymouth art fair when we were kids and we always got that.  I can't imagine little kids liking straight lemon juice, even if it is drank through a sugar straw.  I thought about that yesterday when I saw the peppermint sticks at Cracker Barrel.

Have a good weekend!!

Never heard of that one, Brenda....
Deb

We did that with oranges, not lemons.  I remember loving it as a kid, but now it sounds kinda gross.  lol

Good Morning!

I can't believe that is the last week of July already.   Just getting ready for some ice tea this morning - I have fruit muffins in the oven just about ready to come out!

QOTD- In about an hour I'm heading to Berlin, OH with my mom, aunts and sisters and a good friend.  I took a road trip last year with a friend we just went in search of flea markets and junk-in and we ran across this Amish town with tons of shops so we are heading back to spend the weekend.  Tonight there is music in the park and Saturday shop, shop, shop.  On Sunday we are heading to Pickerington, OH to a favorite shop of mine and then back in the afternoon.  It should be a weekend with lots of laughing.  I figure this may be the last girls weekend my mom will enjoy as her walking isn't what it use to be. 

Hope you all have a good weekend . . and hey Brenda I'm going to ask everyone if they heard about the lemon & pep . .  I have never!

Be safe!

Sounds like a blast!  Next year, invite your good friend Pam, ok?

Another pretty day here in MI.  I do hope it stays this way for the weekend,   We have the train festival here in town and our small town needs the revenue  as do all places in this economy.
I am hoping to get the house back together this weekend  but it doesn't sound too good  I expect hubby has to work another 12 to marrow.  Hes too tired to move furniture after that. 
QOTD   I don't have any plans for the weekend really.   I do want to go the the 1/2 price sale at Salvation army to marrow   and I am taking some of my senior friends out running this afternoon.  Quiet weekend for me   No kids expected.    I need to get up to see mom  but she wants me to come Monday so I can help do something in her activity group at the care center.  

Morning Everyone

I am not working today.. just not enough people wanted to come in today so here I am.. I got alot to get accomplished anyways... I am doing laundry and cleaning house... Then I am going to go get some fill dirt and start leveling off our backyard where we put our drain system in. Fun Fun but at least I get to burn some calories.

QOTD: Tomorrow I have to work in the morning. 1st one all month so it will be hard to go in. Then I plan on working in the yard a bit, I have some weeding to do. Otherwise my main goal is to get hubby to work on a couple of things that I need him to do and I want to scrapbook. Also I want to finish the book I am reading.... I am sure we will see the inlaws too.. So everything might change. LOL

Have a great day everyone

Good morning!  Having my usual decaf and protein.  I have upped my protein drinks to about 4 a day now and increased my water and have seen 4 lbs come off in the past 2 weeks - woo hoo!!

QOTD:  I'm still putting my place together and moving stuff in.  Depending on the weather, I may get out and go for a ride.  I have a date tonight and had one last night with the same guy.  Want to hit some garage sales and maybe the farmers market - I'm looking for a TV stand.  I'm also trying to get my sister up to visit.  But - some of that is subject to change!

Jody, what kind of protein drinks do you use?  I've been using body fortress and EAS and I'm getting tired of them already.  Any suggestions?  Maybe I'll try to find the unflavored BeneProtein and mix it with my crystal light.
