Wednesday Wake-up Call

Good Wednesday morning!
Just waking up. It is just too darned early.......
Can't get my brain going to get a QOTD. So, it's "open mike" day
So, just enjoy your wake-up juice.
Gotta hit the shower and get moving!
Deb

Morning Ya'll

Sitting here at work and thought I would stop by early. Seems like Deb is here before me.



QOTD: What is your favorite flower?



Mine is tulips. This year for more than one reason, I hope to meet ya'll in Holland...

Hello!  :)  Ohh look at me all fancy with purple! LOL

I made myself go to bed at midnight..yay me and I slept until about 6:30 so I am definately feeling good!

I spend the evening last night at Chuck E. Cheese with all of my family members including the ones I've basically been at war with and even though it hurts me, the whole situation surrousnding it all, it was ok. I had a massive headache though and all that blaring kids music with those super annoying voices wasnt helping LOL  I think I didnt have my second cup of coffee though and this is what spurred my headache hrmm I will say though that they have a really wonderful salad bar and I had a great big caear salad that tasted sooo good! lol   I was going to eat pizza, a piece but funny enough I couldnt even bring myself to do it. I did eat the toppings off of one very small slice.  Once upon a time I coulda ate half that pizza pretty darned fast.  One of my most favorite thigns about how I've changed my life is the fact that I do require so much less food overall.  I am considering going in today for my 3 month weight check instead of tomorrow. I dont know....it's freezing, it's Wednesday and eh for some reason I just think it would be a good thing to do today.  Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed by all of the things I'm dealing with right now that I have a hard time breaking them down and isolating one thing at a time. I think..."Man I sure wish that...." and than I think WHAT am I wishing for here exactly?! It's like I need so many things that I cant even get a grip on it.  I think what I NEED and so many others need as well is for the economy to seriously pick up....this scares me because it's almost as impossible feeling as wishing for World peace....you know?  I have been trying to learn Danish for a few months and so every day I listen to tons of Danish music, watch Danish movies and just learn as much as I can each day. I think having something that interests me SO SO much really helps me center myself sometimes.  I get a lot of flack for my choice of languages here since as my mother says "you vertainly cant make any money for learning Danish"  well maybe she is right but you know its really hard to learn something that doesnt interest you and it's been a long time since I've wanted to learn something this much.  Anyway, I'm feeling good this morning and hopeful.  Have a great day Michiganders!

My favorite flower.... dont laugh but it's always been Carnations...I LOVE white carnations with red tips.....I thikn it's because they live for such a VERY long time before withering!

Good morning everyone!

Sitting here at work drinking my protein coffee before my breakfast of a banana some grapes and some nuts. 

QOTD:  I don't really have a favorite flower but I do like fresh cut flowers in a vase.  They just seem to brighten up a room and I always tell myself I'm going to treat myself to flowers to have at my desk at work or at home but never do.

Another QOTD - Does anyone watch American Idol?   I do.  I like it much better when the real competition begins rather than these audition shows where they have all the bad singers on there.  I mean some of those people I just have think are in it for the 10 minutes of fame because there's no way they can really think they have a good voice.  I really like Ellen D. so I'm glad she's going to be one of the judges this season.

Have a good day everyone!
Nan

Yep, I watch American Idol.  I've got it recorded and I'll watch it this weekend.  I'm also glad Ellen is going to be a judge... I think she'll do a good job of balancing Simon's snideness.  It'll be interesting to see what the show will be like next season without Simon - but I think that's why they picked such a strong personality like Ellen to come in this year so next year there won't be so much pressure to find a strong critic to relace him.

Hey Nan, your avatar, what a great picture and a fantastic color for you.  When I was blonde I wore that color a lot and always got compliments.  Well, here's yours.  Gorgeous, girlfriend!
I'm with you, Idol when the real competition begins.

Good morning all.  My third 12-hour day at work, but I have a 4 day weekend after today, so life is good.

My favorite flower-all of them.  I am growing roses for the first time, and they came back after last winter, but I probably killed them by not covering them sufficiently this fall-I can see the stalks sticking out of the snow.  And I love violets because they are so simple. 

Good Morning everyone!

I'm at work, drinking my Crystal Light since I have already finished my power smoothie.

I finally got back to the gym last night.  It was like starting over yet again.  I could only do 10 minutes on the elliptical before I had to quit.  I haven't been cleared for weights yet, but I will start those soon.

QOTD-flowers, um.....I guess Peonies. 
As for open mic today-I am wearing my bracelet, finally!  Now if people at work would quit bugging me so I can shop online for more beads!  LOL

Have a great day!  Be thankful we don't have any natural disasters to deal with!

I know what you mean about the gym.  I have to keep re-learning.  Today I tried the elliptical for the first time.

Good Morning Everyone !

Another warm sunshiny day in Michigan.....Not.  LOL

OK, so today I am just getting going, signed on to work a little late so gotta get moving and get some work done.

QOTD: Favorite flower, I love all of them, especially the spring flowers after the long winter !
