Manic Monday Roll Call

Good Morning Friends!

I hope everybody had as good of a wekend as I did.

I'm up and going, getting ready to tackle a full and busy work we, but really anticpating our pending trip to the Domican Republic next week.

I'm back to the gym hardcore this week, after two weeks of "eh"-level dedication. I've decided to not beat myself up over it. I will also be back onto my food regimen, and once again living a cupcake-free life. :)

I wish all of you a good day, and a great week.

Cheers!


-Norm


PS - If you haven't seen Pixar's "UP" yet, do yourself a favor get yourself to the theater for it. Another instant classic from the folks at Pixar - it's a beautiful, heartelt, wonderful, imaginative movie. It's truly fantastic, and WELL worth the price to see on the big screen.

Good weekend!  Cool nights and pleasant days.

Today we will be visiting an Amish community where we will get some free range chicken for a local restaurant and us.  We got a couple dozen eggs too.  This will be an interesting experience.

Good morning Norm and welcome back to the working world! Congrats again on your marriage!!

I saw UP and you are right.  It was a great movie!! My daughter kept looking at me to see if I was crying.  I managed to NOT do so, but I think my happy pills helped that. LOL!!

Anyway, today has me wanting just 5 more minutes of sleep, but alas, I must get back to the camp day work schedule.  At least I only have a 2 DAY WEEK!!! I decided to take off for my birthday and make it a VERY LONG WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!! 

During the day, I am going to call the surgeon about the bruising and also get his opinion on the Biotin/Nioxin issue since my hair is still coming out in handfuls.  I hope they didn't have to pull too much out of the filter at the pool yesterday. LOL!!  

I also need to call my GYN to make an appt for my depo shot.   Regarding that, anyone have the weight gain issue with it? I had that problem before surgery, but haven't been on it in years and am just starting to go back on it.  The OB didn't say anything and he knows I've had the surgery.  I just don't want to do it, if I'm risking weight gain again.

After work, the only plan is to go to the gym.  Other than that, just relaxing this evening.

Hey Norm hang in there getting back on track is hard but you have done it before can do it again. I am getting back on track and back to the gym as well. zumba tonight.
Speaking of cupcakes those at the wedding were yummo gotta get the name of the bakery.

I am going to work today will be a bear, mondays always are at my job but after a holiday it is even worse. Hoping to hit zumba tonight.

I am taking in a SF bluberry crisp to my coworkers as a thank you for training me. No doubt they wont touch it, that is ok more for me. They are odd like that. SF or not it will sit there,.

Holy cow just saw the time gotta jet have a good day

Hi Nicole
managed care world is crazy here today also (no pun intended).  SOOOO busy.
When are you starting the book discussion?  I ordered the book from amazon.

Do you know Maria Myers? 
Good question I am going to annouce a date and time today

Good Morning all........

My weekend was Blah. but I won't bore you with those details. I am actually glad to get to work today.....and feel like I am useful and appreciated. That's one great thing about my job. I always feel good about being with patients.

Johnny has all week off, so I don't have to get kiddos ready and drop them off at SIL's in the morning. And better yet.....he has bottle/diaper duty thru the night this week, so I will be able to sleep  a little more this week! Yay!

Other than work, this evening I plan on grilling some chicken breasts I have marinating, catch up on wash from the weekend and maybe watch a movie. That's about it.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks for the input on "UP". I saw previews and it didn't look too exciting. But I have some movie passes to use up, so maybe me and my older boys will "make a date" this weekend and go see it.

Good Morning Norm! Glad to hear you had a great weekend! We did too

Back to the monday drudgery today... Nothing exciting going on here. We are working on finishing a project today because it is going to be on the NBC10 show tomorrow! Family Pet Resort in Philly - if anyone watches all of the signage and interior graphic work is my concepts and designs! Have to remember to set the DVR tonight to tape it.

After work I want to stop at Marshall's and see if I can find a piece of artwork to hang in our bedroom then home to make dinner and straighten up.

Enjoy this beautiful weather all!

Good Morning Norm,
Congrats to you and Mary on your nuptuals.  I saw some pics and you guys were gorgeous.

Thanks for the heads-up on "Up."  I have not seen it yet, but heard it was great.

I had an awesome weekend, working Saturday and chilling yesterday.  Got a swim in, which felt wonderful. 

I have been up for a couple of hours, and already been to my AA meeting and walked the dog.  I am getting ready for work at the hospital, and then hopefully to my group session. 

I have been wearing a pedometer for a few days, and it has been interesting.  On days I work at the hospital, I do about 8,000 steps.  Yesterday I barely broke 4,000.  My goal is 10,000 steps a day.  I am also working on getting my food back on track as well. 

Have a terrific day.

Hugs,
Trish
