Freezing Friday Roll Call

Gooood Morning Nicole,

I am freezing - feel like I should put gloves on - Got up and put on sweats - tea is steeping and i am working from home today Yipee!  

Tonight I head to a going away party for a former employee in NJ (it was Schering Plough when I left - now it is Merck).   I am going to see my old team and I haven't seen them since 2005 and lets just say, I've change a little since then.

Tomorrow, I am off to Liz's house with sf pumpkin filled cream puffs in hand.. I hope they turn out well...wish me luck.  I also got a pizzelle maker and if I have time, I might try my hand at them too... no promises!

Sunday is low key - it is my brothers birthday, so we are heading over to his house in Jersey.

That's the plan kids!


xoxo,

Maura

Good morning PA!

Nicole, after work today I am headed to Lancaster Ice Rink to watch my son play hockey.  Millersville vs. Princeton!  It's a long drive, but he's worth it.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it to Liz's tomorrow, the store has been busy on Saturdays and I just don't have anyone I feel comfortable leaving in the store for that long.

Weight loss is going well, still eating mostly soft foods.  Soups are working the best for me now, adding unflavored protein to everything.  Also having at least one Oh Yeah protein drink a day, 32 grams of protein in them.  Energy level is good, doing the weight machines every other day at the Bethlehem Twp Community Center and taking a Zumba Gold class on Mondays.  Next week I start a Bollywood dance class at NCC.  I love to dance!  My goal is to eventually go to the Lehigh Valley Swing Dance Club on Tuesday nights.  Has anyone every been?

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and a great time at Liz's tomorrow!

Peace,

Deb 

What time is the store open until tomorrow? MAybe you can come after??

Doesn't close till 5, do you think anyone would still be there?

not sure - call or text me then if you want and I'll tell you :)

Good for you and have fun at the Hockey Game

I got up at 5 to work and then realized if I did OT today, I'd be over the 5 hours that we are allowed without prior approval.  So, I went back to bed.

Working til 3:30.  Going to Aldi's at lunch time to do some of my grocery shopping.  I'll get what I can there where the prices are cheap.  I will also need to hit Giant and/or Weis at some point because of sales and coupons I have. 

After work I have to go register for tomorrow's race!! WOOT!! I am ready for this!  I'll do my best because I can't do any more than that.  Tonight we are babysitting for the Caines so they can run some errands.  Siehara is going to sleep over there tonight since I need to be at the race site around 8 and she is going to go to synagogue with them in the morning.  

After the race, I will come home and shower and relax a bit before it's time to get Siehara from either synagogue or their house and then I am going to head to Liz's.  They may just end up keeping her all day since we are all going to the party at night.  I'll leave that up to them, but I certainly wouldn't complain if they kept her. 

After Liz's, I'll get all prettied up and head to the Bat Mitzvah party at the synagogue.   The invitation said something about dressing colorful, so I think I'll wear the pink dress. 

better get to work now..... have a great Friday everyone!

Good Morning Nicole and PA,
Today is my youngest's 28th birthday.  Sean was 10 lbs 8 oz at birth.  Now he is like 6 foot 3 inches tall with a size 13 foot.  He lives in Pittsburgh.

I have a busy day today.  AA, swim, State Farm to pay my premium, a psych appointment and my sister just invited me to lunch with her.

Yesterday, I took all my winter stuff out of my storage bin, and have been sorting through all that to find things for the homeless and for a day when people from various churches provide casual business wear for women who don't have jobs, and help them prepare for interviews and jobs.  I have some skirts and sweaters to part with.  I just have way too many clothes.

Tonight, I am going to my AA meeting, because it is my 9 month anniversary of sobriety.  What a miracle.

Hugs and stay warm.
Trish

Trish - how is your sister doing with her band?

Thanks for asking about Sissy, Liz.  She is slow going.  Her food choices are still the old sugar stuff, and her exercise is not what it needs to be.  I was a member at a gym, going consistently when I had my surgery four years ago.  She had no exercise program, and still has none.  She needs to get on the ball with that.  I gave her a Leslie Sansome DVD, but she can't even find her DVD player and get it hooked up, and she has had the DVD for months now.  Priorities are out of whack.

Again, thanks for asking.

Hugs,
Trish
