Tuesday-I miss Deb!

I am just too fricking lazy to do this coffee talk stuff LOL

I'm at work, drinking my CL.  I get to leave early today and take my son to the orthodontist.  Woohoo!  I love short days at work.

So last night I was trying to just chill out and watch TV, but I got all wrapped up in thoughts about my life.  Which leads me to the QOTD:

What do you look forward to?  Your answer can be as complicated or as simple as you want.
Me?  I am having a hard time with this.  Of course I'm thankful for every day I have with my family and all that.....but I don't have anything planned or major life events coming up.  I guess for now I just look forward to the everyday little things.

Hope you have a great day!!

Good Morning Brenda & everyone!

I just finished my CL and some vitamins.  Have an appointment this morning so am going into work late.  It's coming up on quarter close for me so I have a lot of long days ahead of me. 

QOTD:  What do you look forward to?  Wow Brenda, thi****s home for me.  Steve & I have been together since 2003 living in separate households.  I am so looking forward to being able to get married next summer and live under the same roof as him!  Although even then, it is so complicated.  We both will keep our jobs which means he will work in Chelsea and I will work in Midland.  If all goes as planned, I will be able to work from home two days a week so I will come to Midland Monday mornings and go home (Chelsea) Wed night and work from home Thursday & Friday.  We tried so hard over the past 6 years not to disrupt the lives of our kids (we have five between the two of us).  Our daughters are roommates at EMU and each of us has a son graduating from high school this year and I have a son in between.  We always said we'd wait to get married until the kids got out of high school.  I think if we would have tried to combine households with five kids under roof we would have never made it!!

So to answer your question, I am looking forward to next summer when Steve and I will finally get married.  And I am looking forward to spending most of my time living in the same house as him!! 

In the meantime, I'm like you, thankful everyday for the little things in life.

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning

I am getting a late start today.  I am drinking my protein shake.  I think I have finally found a way to drink them with out that bad taiste. 

QOTD---I look forward to a healthy life with my kids and being more active.  I have lost 100 pounds since I started this journey.  65 from surgery and 35 before.  I still have 95 to go. I would like to start dating.  I have not done that in 22 years.  I feel sorry for the first guy I go out with. lol  But I enjoy each day with my family and fight the battles as they come. 

Hi all

I'm taking a quick breather from the craziness that is my life this week.  The Brooksie Way Health and Wellness Expo in Rochester starts on Friday and goes through Saturday.  You're all invited!  If you stop by, look me up.  I'll be the crazy woman running around barking orders to everyone.   So needless to say, this is a crazy week for me. 

Which leads me to the answre for my QOTD:  I look forward to Sunday.  The Expo will be over.  I'll sleep late and stay in my jammies all day.  Bliss!

I definitely have more in depth answers for this question, but for now, this is my focus.

Good Morning Brenda and Everyone

I am eating chili for breakfast this morning.  :)  Had coffee earlier.  Will start on water after Im done eating.  Rainy and cold here again today.  I don't mind.  It was fun snuggling with my guys last night on the couch.  My 4 year old loves a good "family snuggle"  lol

Qotd-  I don't have anything major coming up either.  I'm trying to dig out of debt so I look forward to that. :)  I am excited about the upcoming holidays.  Always so much fun with kids and hubby and of course we both have big families.  I'm going to try to do more holiday things with my children as opposed to our holidays being focused around gifts.  So cheesy christmas crafts and holiday baking here we come.... :)

I had my coffee earlier.  LoL I should be the one doing the coffee talk j/k.  I am always up a little after 4 am!  Not so today.  The alarm did not go off and not one of my 4 cats woke me up.  I also didn't wake up.  So I slept until 6 am!  That is LATE for me!  Then we needed the heat.  It still hasn't come on so I got a call in to get that fixed.  I got my new Alice in Chains CD already.  I am just so excited to hear it.  I have 2 sick kids home.  Anyway...

QOTD:  I look forward to showing everyone the new me.  This is on so many levels.  Most of the people in this town that I associate with did not know me when I was in high school and dealing with  aneroxia and bumilia.  I didn't get super low but I was on avergae 128#.  So they all know me as an obese person.  Only a handful remember.  I want to show them I can do it.  I look forward to so many things I can't list them all but here is a few:  Meeting Mr. Right, Finishing College & More kids?

It's noon already.  Where did the morning go?  I've been out and about, and am now back at DS and DIL's washing some dog bedding.  Tomorrow I leave for PA so I've got to get everything ready and packed.  I'm meeting Mary Mazilla for lunch before heading to my girlfriends house tomorrow and leaving for PA.
QOTD:  We were talking about our 'bucket lists' lastnight at poker with the girls.  I guess I don't really have a bucket list at this point in time.  Just looking forward to hubby retiring Nov 1st and moving up north with me.  Then we'll decide what we want to do.  I know we'd like to go out and visit friends in Idaho and visit others in Florida.  I'd like to take Gary to experience the Grand Canyon too, maybe on our motorcycles.  Just take time to enjoy each other and what we've accomplished in our lifetimes.

Please forgive me, I am so sorry I cannot meet with you tomorrow. I Accepted a job offer and I started working Today and will be required to work tomorrow . It is lucrative. I will be a  QC consultant for the part suppliers for the big three. They are showing me the ropes and I have to be in Flatrock tomorrow.

Please forgive me. I was so looking forward to meeting you.
Maybe some other time.

QOTD: Having WLS, My Children becoming independent adults, Selling out in Garden City and moving up to Hawks, MI. And having hubby retire and be home with me.

No sweat Mary.  I understand.

Happy Tuesday Michiganders!!
It's crazy here at work, maybe because I have Thurs and Fri off work and I'm going camping up in Ludington State Park. I'm getting lots done here today and tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to Deb coming back and doing spin class with her tomorrow night.

QOTD: I'm looking forward to my beautiful stepdaughter moving out in the summer (if not before).  I love having her and her 2 kids around, experiencing family life so to speak but I love being along with my hubby...just him and me. We have just provided her a soft spot to land for awhile and awhile has lasted longer than what I thought. She and the kids are a blast though and I know I will miss them when they move out.

I'm also looking forward to the future, would love more grand kids!! Huuummmm....how about retirement?? Will it ever happen for me? Okay I'm 53, I'm sure I'll work til 67 or longer. I love my job but would enjoy retirement??? I love to keep busy...so maybe I'll work til I die!!
