I can't believe it's Wednesday!!!

I'm drinking my first cup of Coffee!!!

I sitting here thinking tomorrow at this time I'll be in the car with Vinnie!!! This week has gone by fast!!

Nothing much going on here! I'm going for a picture walk today. I need some new pictures to make cards.

So with my camera in gear I'll go walking!!!

Also I'll stop at whole foods I need some protein bars for my purse. Airport food is way to much money!!!

Well inward today!! I'll check back later.

Carla

Good morning Carla and everyone.....

I haven't had the energy to make coffee yet today. I really need to purchase a Keurig. I would use it every day!  I need to wait until after Christmas now.

You gave me ambition  I just made a pot of coffee on...need to grab a cup quick....awwwwww YUM!!!

Have fun with your little sweetie!!! I am sure Vinnie will have her own personal Starbuck Cup... if she doesn't already! 

Have fun taking pictures. I can't wait to see them!!

Everything is expensive at airports. The cheapest cup of water I found a Ohara was $1.50. Most places wanted over $2. Are they crazy!! My wine was  $8.25 plus a tip= $10. I don't over tip much at airports!

As for me.... I am waiting for my cleaning fairy to arrive. I sorted the clothes and emptied the wastebaskets. She can take the trash down when she goes to the laundry room.The rooms are right next to each other.

I am glad to have no other appointments except for my regular grocery shopping and cleaning the next two weeks!! I need to start writing Christmas cards.

Trish...you have all my information to add to the address list of OFF people don't you? Will you be sending the list soon? 

I need to go get my lunch so I have time to eat it before Melissa gets here!!

Prayers for our beautiful OFF Family and their families. Special prayers as requested. I love you all!!

Have a great day everyone!! 

Lots of love and oodles of hugs to all.....connie d

Connie, you read my mind.  I worked on the list off and on all afternoon, between phone calls, Utley, and watching the horrible news from California.

Check your email.  I sent the list out about 30 minutes ago.

Hugs,

Trish

Hello Trish....thank you I will check my email in a little while!!

Love you...hugs...connie d

Connie - I got my "one-cup coffeemaker" at Big Lots, and I've seen them elsewhere, for $20.00 - a lot less than a Keurig, and it works just as well.  Of course, there are a lot of different Keurigs - maybe you want one that gives you a choice between a single cup and a pot of coffee - then Keurig is the way to go.  Just an FYI!!

Hi ladies 

Quick post from my phone.... busy day today but wanted to drop by and check in on ya! 

Drop by later on my train ride home 

Christine 

A quick drop by to say hi to everyone. Hope your day is going well. Sending love to all on OFF.

Hi Carla and my OFF family:

I was busy yesterday and didn't find time to get online. I was out all afternoon and by the time I got home, it was after 4 p.m. Then Gary got home and we decided to order out. We sat down after dinner to watch "Christmas Vacation" and we both fell asleep ... me longer than Gary. I slept through most of the movie. I haven't done that for a long time. 

And today, I'm really sleepy. I just can't stay awake. I did have a headache when I got up but it's gone now. I just have a lack of energy. I am doing laundry. I'm going to make baked ziti for dinner tonight so I have to go out to get a couple of things for dinner. 

Anyway, not much else happening. Still feeling like a nap coming on, but got to stay awake because I have meat browning on the stove. Have a good day.

Hello Eileen.....I love Christmas Vacation...always a good time watching that one!! 

I wish we had a good Chinese restaurant that delivered here. There is one but it is way across town. To deliver here it costs a lot more then regular delivery. They won't deliver under a $35 order of food.  I can't eat that much!! I have ordered a couple times when some of my grandchildren were here. The wait was so long I won't do it again. Plus the food was barely lukewarm. 

I too am having an awful time with fatigue and no energy. Some is Fibro. I speak to so many people that are feeling the same way. It must be the change of seasons. I wi**** would get better for you and me too!

I hope your Ziti was really good!

Love you...hugs....connie d

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Jazz is due home in 15 so let's see how fast I can type...

I got the job offer...woohoo so yesterday I met with Human Resources. Since this is a hospital/corporation it is way different than the crappy non-profits I worked for the majority of my career. I am going to be part-time, but I am still eligible for benefits including paid time off! Yippee!

However, they do an extensive background check and one of my former employers did not have my record of employment from 2005. So I had to mess with that most of the morning...I hope it gets straight as they are trying different methods to get proof of employment. I also had to go for a physical yesterday after meeting with them...my orientation is due to start Monday if everything is complete.

I am SO excited...say a prayer!

Christine, it is so good to see you back on the board and your success with the WLS. You are doing and looking great! So proud of you!

Carla, off you go again and I can't blame you. That baby...and that age are both so precious. Enjoy!

Jeannie, I hated having days like what you had yesterday, and I am with you on hiring an all male staff. I began to lean in that direction when managing the shelter...the young women got involved w/the male clients too much or were so competitive with each other. Ugh. so DON'T miss it!

Vickie, your day sounded equally frustrated with your late arrival for the birthing class b/c of the tires issue. ALOT of money! But well-invested with colder weather coming...even in TX...given the traveling you will be doing.

Connie, continue to be happy to see you back on the board. I know you still suffer from that damn pain, but at least you are able...for now...to push thru it! Hooray!

Yvonne, so glad you got a new phone so you can be in touch more often!

Judy, hope the funny farm is not doing you in too badly this week...at least it is hump day, and glad your mom is doing okay for now.

Oops...she's home. Gotta run, but wanted to check in with my favorite girls!

Love to all!
