Monday roll call
Good Morning all!
I had a great day with some friends who are more like family yesterday. We went to their "pumpkin picnic" and had a great time. WE did leave a bit early because Amelia hadn't napped and was getting fussy.
I am at work today until 4 then doing something just for ME! I am going to get a massage. CAN'T WAIT!!! After that, when I am in the "rubber chicken" stage I am headed to my Mom's to hang out with her and Amelia for the evening and hopefully go to bed early!

While I'm never happy to see Monday back again, I had a very nice weekend so I really couldn't ask for more than that! Today I'll be at work where I have to go to an all-day project meeting that I am so not looking forward to, but I'll put on my big girl pants and deal with it! At least I should be able to bring my laptop with me so I won't get completely bored.
After work, I'm off to the gym for some strength training and Zumba, then home to relax.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning everyone - thank you to all who posted on my Saturday night rant - I am feeling better today. We got OUT of the house yesterday - met friends in South Philly at Chickie's & Pete's - yes, football was on, but at least I had good conversation during the game and it was great getting out.
I think part of my rant/vent is due to the fact that my husband and I are seriously talking retirement for him (he is 72) within the next 2-3 years and relocating to Florida. We haven't told anyone of these plans just yet - our plan is to pay down some small bills we have over the next year, then head down to the Daytona area where my sister lives and buy a house now while we're both still working, then in another year put our house up here on the market and get ready to move. I can tell he's tired of working - I will still work down there, but the houses in that area are less than half of what we're paying now, the taxes are much, much less and the cost of living down there is cheaper - so with his pensions and social security and me working we should be fine. Just some things to start working on now so we can make this plan happen - but its really hard not telling our friends (haven't told family yet either) about our plans. I miss my sister terribly and if something were to happen to my husband I am all alone up here in PA now - my older sister and brother both live in Florida, my younger sister lives in Ohio. And honestly, if we have another winter like last one I'm packing up and going next year! We can't afford to stay in our current house if my husband retires, and if something happens to him I can't afford to stay in it by myself.
So I think holding all that in really contributed to my feelings Saturday night - I'm very excited about our plans and not sure why we're holding off telling people (other than work, of course - don't want them to know) - but anyway, today is a better day.
I also went to the store this weekend and bought GOOD food for myself - have got to get myself back to eating better and exercising. Brought my sneaks to walk at lunch, and tonight after walking the dog I'm going to our community clubhouse to use the treadmill. I feel sluggish and crappy and I know its all due to lousy diet and lack of exercise.
So thanks for listening and the constant encouragement...Kathy

Good morning, PA!
Monday is the second half of my weekend, lots to do today.
This morning I am trying a new Zumba class in Palmer. Then coming home to shower. I have to go over to my Mom's house in Hellertown and clean out a few last things, I finally sold it last week for a disgustingly low price. But it gone, so that is a blessing. Later today is nails and pedi, some me time. Lots of laundry in between.
Tomorrow morning is my upper GI series, can't wait to find out what is going on. Still can't tolerate anything but liquids and mushies.
Nicole and Jason, congrats again!! When is the wedding??
Hope everyone has a great day!
Peace,
Deb

Hello OH world. Hi Lisa!!! I hope your divorce paperwork goes well.
Nicole, congrats! You'll be part of the married club in no time. Its just like being part of the dating club, except less fun. Lol
Well this weekend was fairly busy for me. Friday night I hung out at home and put some finishing sanding on the closet I built for Jen. Saturday there was more closet work and then last football game for my son. The Mt. Pleasant Packers ended there season with a dominating shut out over the dreaded Cardinals. My son has been playing football for 5 years and this is the first winning season he has experienced (5-3). I'm very happy for him. On Sunday we took my daughter to her first ever swimming meet. She was very nervous! She was entered into three heats. She did as you would expect but I was still very proud of her. This is the first real competitive sport she has been in. She made fast friends with an older girl on the swim team. We were there from 8 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. Quite a long day for only three races. She made it through and didn't want to quit after-wards, so that is a big accomplishment. When I was putting her to bed last night I asked her what her favorite part of the day was, she replied "meeting my new friend Olivia." Must be a girl thing. Anyway, I'm very proud of her!!!
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Lisa and all of PA - feeling kind of down this morning. not sure why - I REALLY hope it has nothing to do with the Philadelphia sports teams this weekend - it doesn't usually affect me after any losses. Oh well - I think I know what it is but I am not sure how to put it into words and not sound like a complete and utter idiot. So - I will figure that out and work through this of course.
Today I am at school, home for the homework dance with the girls, off to the market and Target andn then home again to unload and take Molly to dance tonight. With no baseball on I will probably hang out of facebook for a while and hopefully head to bed rather early. Slept GREAT last night. Was zonked from the night before and was asleep by 9:30 and slept straight through until 5, fell back to sleep and woke up at 6 (Without the alarm - forgot to set it last night....oops!)

Well here it is a new week and looking forward to the weekend already. This weekend was busy yet surrounded both days with really good friends. More important time with the Bigman.
I am taking a very hard look at my life and think that a major adjustment is in the works. I am always on the go with some sort of plans and this week is not different but I need to slow down and focus on me. The last three months have been very emotional and trying in a few areas yet I am surprised how well my reactions have been.
Tonight going to Zumbaween with Karen we are going to as Salt & Pepper Shakers!
