It's Friday and I'm doing the happy dance that the week is just about over. For some reason I feel like the dog in the meme full of energy and excitement. Got a good night's sleep and woke up to rather warm weather. Of course, tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 40's with more rain, so will spend the day cooking for the week. I have to stop at the Asian market on my way home to get the ingredients to make another batch of Kimchi.
I found out this morning that my company has a Charitable Match Program where you can donate up to $200 to eligible charities and they will match it 100%. When I was looking through the list of animal charities, I found that a rescue I follow on FB is one of them. MAD Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Rescue. I am definitely going to be donating since they currently have 4 different dogs that they have rescued who need different surgeries.
QOTD: Speaking of charities do any of you here donate on a regular basis to any specific foundations? In the past I've donated to some small local animal rescues, but nothing big. For the last few years here at work on March 26 Jersey Mike's does all proceeds made go to March of Dimes so we make sure to get in on that.
B: coffee and I'm going to skip breakfast because we are having pizza and wing dings for lunch at work.

QOTD- I'm not sure how old I was but my Mom thought I needed a pixie cut. I hated it and will never go back.
I've been really busy at work and finally got this hairy job done. It was a pain to figure out and ended up being more than I thought it would be. But it's done. So move on to the next one and the one after that...and so on... We've hired a couple more engineers but they won't start until the 21st. So maybe the work load will even out. I don't multitask anymore. I do one at a time and move on when it's done.
Just when I thought the chances of frost were pretty much nil there was a frost advisory for last night. I was talking with my roommate about buying veggie plants and he asked about frost, and I told when they start selling the plants the risk is pretty low, so I was wrong.
I got a mani pedi last night so my nails and toes are happy. Not much else going on.
Have a great day everyone!

Back when it was in for white people to get an Afro, my mother got one. Her hair was permed with the tiny little red rods and then used an Afro pick to fluff it up. She did not drive back then. When my father came to pick her up, he hated the hair and did not want to take her back looking like that.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I used to refuse to take a kid immediately from really long to really short hair. Even if they think they want it, it can be a shock and take time to get used to. I would do it in stages. Start with a shorter style about shoulder length and let them get used to that. Then go shorter the next cut.
I have had some haircuts that I was not too happy with but after a week or so I would get used to it and it would grow out some.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good Morning Jennifer and Menuer's,
That is great you have walking buddies. Rudy does more sniffing than he does moving. My route is common for the neighbors, so he needs to sniff and pee every couple feet to let them know he was there. Sorry I was MIA yesterday, time got away and before I knew it, it was afternoon. I am going to hit Aldi today. I need cabbage. I want to make Cabbage rolls got Sunday since I have an abundance of ground beef. It is supposed to be raining and cold all weekend so I will say that will be comforting. This morning, I was awakened at 3:30 by a storm. We were lucky not to have any damage that I know of the winds were really whipping. I did get the wheel on my car fixed. It was pricey but worth it. Just glad it is done.
QOTD: Oh, I think it was my 4th grade perm for sure. My cousin had a shop, and I wanted it so bad. In those days they just cut the hair short and used small rods to make a Q-Tip look. Perms have come a long way since the early 70's.
Accountability: I found yogurt covered pretzels at Rural King. I think 5 are 150 calories. It was not really a cheat but more of a snack. The yogurt is blueberry. I only looked at Calories, but I need to check out the sugar and protein.

Good morning, everybody!
I'm back on the train this morning, which I much prefer to driving. I also slept like a rock. CrossFit was running, box jumps and kettle bells and after dinner I was ready to crash. Watched Chicago Med and Fire, but fell asleep during PD.
Marilyn is coming home tonight, if my son offers to pick her up I am going to take her up on it, otherwise I will get her. Our place came furnished, but still needs a lot of stuff like trash baskets, etc. she has been looking for those things, getting the utilities switched to us and having locks changed, etc.
I am hoping to go down there the first weekend in May, to move some things: mostly gym and fishing stuff, some clothes and Marilyn's kayak. Our goal is not to have to pack for short trips, just put the electronics and meds in a backpack and go.
QOTD: I wear my hair pretty short, but sometimes it gets a little spikier than other times.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: catered
Dinner: steak
Have a great day, all!

Good Friday-Eve gang. A rainy gloomy day here in CT. I have to order pizza and wing dings for our mid outage safety luncheon tomorrow and will run to Walmart to get some soda and boxes of chips. Ended up after dinner taking Meisha for a walk down the road which is something we've never done before due to the vehicles driving faster than the posted 30mph speed limit. We walked a 1/2 mile to the little cemetery, walked through that, then headed back towards home. She sniffled all around and was having the time of her life. Then when we got near the house Irvin said let's keep going OK so we walked another 1/2 mile in the other direction. Ended up doing 2 miles of walking. The best thing out of it was Irvin saying he felt good and wanted to keep doing it since the weather is getting nice. All three of us slept like rocks. LOL
QOTD: Have you ever had a terrible haircut? Yes, in the fifth grade. I had long hair all one length past my butt, but being a farm kid would always get stuff tangled up in it. After countless nights of my mom using a comb and cup of water to comb it out, she made the decision that I was going to get a haircut at the start of fifth grade. She had them chop it to my ears and gave me a layered feathered style. Hated it was an understatement. After that I started taking care of my own hair and wouldn't let anyone touch it and still will not let anyone, but my daughter who is a hairdresser.
