It's the Weekend!

We get Monday off for Martin Luther King day.  I'm going to use the extra day off to tighten up on my eating - getting in the protein and water, getting things ready to bring to work next week.  I need to prepare, it makes it much easier.

I need to spend some time going through clothes and deciding what to keep, throw, give away.  And organize my stuff.  I also need to do a little shopping - bra shopping and for some new glasses.

Mostly I get to spend 3 whole days with my sweetie.

Ahhhh, sounds like a lovely, tranquil winter weekend, Mary! My weekend sounds similar as the clothes are winning and I am losing! They need to get out, so I will try to send them on their way. I had ordered new glasses before Christmas, and they are in, so I get to pick them up on Monday! My bra straps have been falling down for a few months, and they are kinda big...maybe I'll take your cue and buy a new one...and a pair of underwear! Enjoy a cuddlefest with your sweetie! Mine has to work tomorrow and Monday, and Sunday, it's on!

It sounds like you have a nice weekend planned.. I am sorting out clothes too.. I have made two large bags to go to goodwill..

I just went new bra shopping and I finally got one that I dont look like I'm 90 with boobs to my knees.. lol..

Enjoy your time with your sweetie.. 3 days together.. that sounds like a vacation to me.. My hubby gets home on the weekends on Sat morning and leaves out again on Sunday night.. not too much time together.. maybe that is why we have been married for 31 years.. lol.. no I am just kidding.. we loved the time we had together when I had surgery.. He took off a week and a half to stay with me.. I loved it but it makes me miss him even more now..

My hubby is out on the road this weekend so I am alone for teh long weekend.. .. I am going to do alone things.. like trying on clothes and doing paperwork.. sound like too much fun huh..

I have Martin Luther King's birthday off as well.  After the last couple of weeks with year end processing of W-2s and the two payrolls of the month, this has been the time from you know where.

I'm going to get myself back on the exercise wagon and see my PCP and try the eye doctor so I don't have to take PTO to do this.  I can exercise during the day on Monday and not after work when I get to the gym at 6 and don't get home till almost 9.  I am committing myself to 3-4x a week (more than that doesn't seem realistic).  My food over the holidays was ok (I held steady) but I was getting over strep throat over the holidays and with the increased activity at work, I had enough energy to go to work and go home and fall asleep on the couch.

Hopefully my hubby will be home this weekend but sometimes he has to go out on service calls on the weekend.  We have been married for 34 years but it is still nice to spend time together.  Organizing stuff will be in my plan for these 3 days but I don't want to put too much on my agenda because I want to relax a bit too.

To both Mary and Teresa S-great new pictures.  You are both doing so well.  I have to get  my pics posted up but everytime I want to do it, my hubby the techie isn't here to help me.  I am a software person, can work my way around financial and payroll software, but can't do that very well.  I will get that done too-maybe I can get him to help this weekend.
