Tuesday Morning Roll Call

Good Mid-Morning All!

How did you start your morning? . . I got up early and sat on the porch with a cup of tea, so peaceful early before everyone wakes.   I didn't even hear the rain last night but boy did it make it humid.

Things are moving in the right direction for my son . . he took the assessment for a Lineman job last week and is now scheduled for an interview on Thursday . .  think happy thoughts!
For the last year I thought he would have to get a job out of State and my little Hanna would be moving so I am hoping this will work out for him and it would keep  him and Hanna in the local area  . . so I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed.

QOTD - What's up for today? got and rants or raves to share?

I am getting out of work early today so I am planning a nice walk and my taco salad is already made and waiting for me.. . I feel so blessed these days that I don't have any rants . . only raves . . . YEAH LIFE!

Have a good one!

Kristy

Good morning!  I heard the rain - but I love listening to the rain when I'm in bed... soothing...

I hope all works out well for your son - I know that has got to be very stressful for you!

Rant:  To myself - I forgot my vitamins today - again.  My pouch is giving me a hissy fit and I need to go home and get my Prevacid.  Lucky for me I only live 3 miles away... 

Rant:  Neighbors cat climbed into my car (which was in the garage) through the windows that were open like 3"!  Luckily he didn't "scent" it... not sure how he even did that...  climbed in one window and out the other.  He's a long-hair white cat - so the evidence was there!

Rant - last one, I promise!  Bad hair day - LOL....

Rave:  The weather here in Traverse City this summer has been glorious!  This is what summer should be like. 

Rave:  I'm going to be a grandma in September and the time is coming fast!  While I don't want to wish away summer - I'm excited for the time to get here.

Rave:  (Have to offset 3 rants...)  I went and bought a new dress for my nephews wedding August and I love it!  A Sapphire Blue.  My mom was jealous of how I looked in it....  My sister said she "hates" me - LOL - I know they say these things lovingly.... Now I need a date!

 

Good morning!  Just doing my usual stuff this morning...chasing after a very active 14 month old! 

Kristy...glad to hear that things are going well for your son.  

QOTD:  Raves....tonight is the wind symphony I play in is having a concert in the park (in Hillsdale).  I'm excited and hope the weather holds out...although it's kinda sketchy! 

Rants:  MOSQUITOES!!!  I can NOT figure out how they are getting in my basement living room, but I've gotten 3 bites this morning and have killed as many and there was just another buzzing around my head!  Aggravating!

I got up early this morning so I could be at my desk working at 6:00 a.m. - luckily, I just have to climb the stairs to my office!  But this way I finish early and have the rest of the day ahead of me.  I'm making Thai Chicken Skewers for dinner - a new recipe, looks very good. 

RANT:  My Comcast keeps konking out on me and I lose my connection multiple times a day.  Since I work from home, this is a HUGE inconvenience.  I have had Comcast out a few times, they replaced the modem, scratched their heads - but no real improvement.  Today they told me a trick to renew my IP address, so we will see if that helps. 

RAVE:  I love love love adore adore adore my husband.  He is my absolute best friend, the person I like best in the world.  I consider him to be a true blessing and I am so deeply grateful for our marriage.  Things could be going crappy, but at the end of the day I have him to lean on, and I am so grateful. 

Morning Kristy and all,

I had my protein shake for breakfast, I'm such a creature of habit :).  Now sipping on some iced tea, again same old same old.

Kristy I'll send up some good thoughts for your son's interview.  I know how hard it would be on you if they had to move out of state.  By the way I love your raves, boy can you tell you've got a new man in your life....I'm really happy for you.

Rant:  Work, I work with 15 PMS'ie women, it can be tough around here and lately it's been bad.  I'm trying to stay out of all of it, but as the office manager I always seem to get involved :(.

Rave:  Life, once I leave work I'm quite content, I wish the nights would slow down though, it seems like I'm only home an hour or so and the next thing I know it's 10 PM.

Have a great day all,

Edie

Edie . . it is so weird having a man in my life that isn't a drunk . . serious .  . I always have the drunk men my life and I decided a few years ago I would rather be alone than to be an enabler . .  my friend is so nice it scares me . . we dated for a month before I even told my sisters, because heck you know I figured it was just to good to be true.  We have been hanging around about 3 months now and he calls just to hear my voice, says wonderful things to me, we have been to a ton of movies and love to sit for hours at dinner just talking and best of all he holds my hand when we go for walks .  . . I feel like I am 16 . . .   . but I am still taking it one day at a time . . .us big chickens do that you know . .lol

Kristy

Darling, being a 'chicken' at our age is called SMART!!!    I can hear the 16 year old in your comments....so cute :)

I am so glad your happy.....that's what life is all about!

Enjoy,

Edie

Good morning!  Thanks, Kristy, for posting today.
I started my morning getting Nick off to school and getting to work.

Rants-I've been in a super bad mood for like 3 weeks.  I just can't shake it.  Everything is ******g me off!  I tell myself to quit it, but then here it comes again.  My boys and DH are ready to make me sleep in the garage at night. 
And work.  But that's always a rant for me.

Raves-That I'm blessed with a healthy family and even though we have had some major financial situations come up this past week (broken car, broken A/C, summer taxes, fees for lease turn in vehicle) we planned ahead so its not a catastrophe like it would have been 2 years ago.  I have to rave about Dave for that.  He's the saver, not me :)

Have a good day all!

By now it's Tuesday afternoon (Love that old Moody Blues song!...but I got off track again) and my day has been pretty good. Met my girlfriends for lunch and had soup, a cracker and a little hummus and didn't eat too fast so no pain.  Now if I could do that all the time! I guess its hard to change 55 years of fast eating in just a little over 3 weeks.  went grocery shopping after and I'm going to try my first "real food" that isn't soup or creamy.  Salmon cooked on the grill--my husband makes a mean grilled fish so I'm looking forward to it.  Stopped at GNC to find something that will add some protein to my diet. I thought I was doing ok but as the days go by I find it harder and harder to get it all in.Bought something called AMPLIFY and I'm hoping its not 30 bucks wasted.  so far the protein supplements are not agreeing with me.
RANT: how come everything that is protein enriched is sweet. I'm sick of sweet and jonesing for something salty or savory.
