Monday Morning Coffee

Good Morning Everyone!
Break out the mug and have a cup! What's brewing today? Decaf for me, as always.
Back to Monday, again! Get a dose of summer the next couple of days, then a cool down. It makes me wonder what Labor Day weekend will be like. What can I say, but it's Michigan!!
QOTD-What did you do over the weekend that you want to brag about? I reached 1000 miles on my bike for this summer on Sunday. WooooHooooo. Did a Sunday morning ride with the crew I'm going to do Dalmac with. I don't think I've ever done so much mileage in such a short time! 
How 'bout the Crim group? How was it?
Have a marvelous day!
Deb

Good Monday Morning!
What a beautiful morning . . I love these crisp mornings. 
WOW  . . . congrat's Deb on the mileage . . that is impressive!  I feel like such a slacker this summer . . that car accident really got  me off track . . slowly getting back in the groove! My son will be home tonight and I'm going to go for a little bike ride.

QOTD- Wow not really much to brag about for me . . I cleaned two closet's and played full time mother to my GD while son was gone.  Giggled a lot and played dress up . .  somehow I got to be the "bad witch"  who'd figure!

Enjoy your Monday.

Wow, 1000 miles.  What a feat.  Some of the women in our Ladies of Harley group did an 'iron butt ride' which is 1,000 miles within 24 hours, but that's on a motorcycle!  You've really gotten in the exercise.  I wasn't 'game' enough to try doing the ride, besides, WHY?????  My girlfriend said she'd never do it again.  I guess it's just for bragging rights.  I'm not a bragger, so I'm ok with it all.
Nice cool morning and sunny today.  Maybe it's a poop scoop day.  We'll see.  Poker with the girls later this afternoon with a barbeque.  One of our old poker buddies is coming in from Littleton, CO.  Should be a great evening.  Hope I win!
I should be packing more boxes, but just don't feel like it.  We'll see if I can find some gumption somewhere in here.

My FIL has done 2 iron-butts...one at 1,000 miles and one at 1500.  Crazy....my butt gets sore after about 10 miles...LOL!  

Good Morning Michigan

Wow Deb, thats awesome!  I am at work and drinking a bit of coffee.  Had to dress the boys in pants and sweatshirts this morning, Brrrrr. I knocked my cell phone in the toilet ( thank goodness I just cleaned. :)  But now its acting a bit strange. Go figure.

QOTD- I'm not sure about bragging, but I sure was happy when I went shopping this weekend and bought a SIZE 12 pair of jeans.  I can't help but think they must be mismarked, but the 14's were too big.  That was pretty exciting.  :)  I also had an awesome morning in church with my family yesterday,  My husband actually joined us this week.  The message was to build people up with your words and not knock them down.  A good message for my family.  I hope you all have wonderful monday!!

Holy Cow Deb!  1000 miles is awesome!  Congrats.  :-)

I slugged down my coffee too fast this morning... got to the last swallow and ended up with a mouthful of grounds.  Yuck! 

QOTD --  Yep, I'm pretty proud of my accomplishment of finishing the Crim again this year.  I'm also proud of all the Flint WLS Support Group folks who finished too.  Karen, Judy, Jim, Kim, Linda, Dennis, Mike, Candise, Erin, April, Lisa (although not a WLS patient, she trained with us anyway) and maybe a couple I'm forgetting. We're going to do a group picture at tonight's support group meeting and I  want to calculate how many pounds total we've lost as a group.  

Have a great day all!

I wish I lived closer to Flint so I could come to the meetings with you!!

I work in Pontiac and drive up to Flint after work.  It's on my way home to Saginaw.  I feel like my life seems to be happening in Flint these days since its the halfway point between work and home.  But yeah... i.t's a bit of a trek from Chelsea

Good Morning All

Just finished my coffee and munching on a Arnolds Sandwich thin toasted with a bit of cream cheese.  Nummy.  I finally found them.  Now to get my hubby to try them..  He is a white bread eater, and I have only found the Arnolds in Whole Wheat and Multigrain.  I found another brand in white, but they look like paste, I could not bring myself to buy them. 

Didn't do alot of anything this weekend.  Played games with my son and worked on some of his summer homework and just hung out and snuggled. 

I did get through some of the pics we took at Detroit zoo.  I did some comparison side by side of my son last year, and this year at the same points in the zoo.  I made a point to have some taken at certain points so that we could look at them and see how much he has grown.  He has definatly lost his baby look over the last year.  

I did get a big pot of beef barley soup made yesterday for lunch/dinners.   I am trying to take a proactive approach with meals.  Last night it was baked cod/baked potatoe/salad.  Tonight it is grilled chicken salads.  My hubby grumbled because the cod wasn't deep fried, but once he got into it, he said it wasn't bad.  He works the next two nights, so it will be soup and salad nights, which is ok with me. 

Ok enough babbling for me this morning.

Good Morning.
Looks like I missed a lot this weekend.  Happy Birthday Jan and Congrats to the Crim walkers!

I am waiting for some water to get cold in the shop freezer.  I had some sf instant breakfast earlier.

QOTD-I made it through two nights at my sisters!  Her kids run me ragged every time I visit.  We didn't go to Lake MI, it was just too cold.  I really had a hard time with food this weekend.  She just didn't have much I could eat and we did fast food a lot.  It wasn't even the good kind of pig out weekend where I enjoyed anything.  I just felt kind of blah from not eating and not getting much protein.

Today I have to tell my boss (yet again) that my babysitter is going back to school.  I am not scared like I usually am.  In fact, I'm going to kind of offer to let them fire me because I can't keep stressing about it!  I think I'll probably chicken out and wait until tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great day!
