Good Morning. Made it through another week.

TGIF, babeees!!! 

Just going over things in my feeble mind that need to happen or I need to remember this month. Man! I better write this stuff down. I think I'm angel to 4 people this month between the LW board and the DS board. Time to mark the calendars and load phone numbers in my cell for sure. 

Going out to the winery to pick up our stash on our 30th (OMG!) anniversary in a couple of weeks. No more dessert wine for lunch! That stuff kicked my skinny butt the last time. lol  But it was soooo good. This year I want to make more hot mulled wine with the red wines I have. I'll make them with as little sugar as possible -- I have a great recipe from Whole Foods and I can control the type of sugar and apple juice I use.

Planning a pot luck for any OH LWs and DSr folks in and around the northern VA area in the next couple of months. Watch for my posts on that... 

What do you guys have going in the next few weeks that need your attention?

Have a great Friday, y'all!

Congratulations on your anniversary! Our 2nd anniversary is next week, we are going out tomorrow night to celebrate. I have a bunch of appointments the next couple of weeks, one for my hip pain, my nursing school physical, consultation with plastic surgeon, and my son's 18 month check up.

As usual, lots of school work, and my mom and I are taking our twice a year trip to the outlet mall to get new Coach purses.

Happy Anniversary! I hope you have a great time.
I wonder, can I make it to Va and back to OH in a day? Would love to meet you guys!
Planning for thanksgiving here at our house this year.
My son turns 15 on the 29. My sisters bday is the 5 and her son's is the 12 and my parents 50th anniversary is on the 26! I better get my butter but in gear!!!
It's going to be a busy month.
Have a great day all!

30 years...very impressive!

I won't be on the board much for the next month.  Work is definitely picking up for me.  The only week I'm not traveling in November is the week of Thanksgiving.  I'll be missing DH's birthday while I'm on the road.  DS1 assured me they will take care of him.  DH traded in his old clunker last week for a new (to us) car.  He's pretty happy just driving around.  I'm not sure he'll miss me. 

I'm going to enjoy my weekend at home before the travel begins.

October has been crazy for me with weekend activities almost every weekend, but it is slowing down for November.  I'm taking the little pony to a show on Nov 9 but other than that, I plan on staying home and enjoying what is left of the fall before serious cold hits.

 Ohh  Im UTTERLY overwhelmed .  

Ive been praying for my first grant in AP  to actually get signed and  the work commence ( and finish ) before winter .    This was ABSOLUTELY  ESSENTIAL for a LOT  of reasons ...

now its happening on Monday ( thank You  God ) ..... but ... i have no reneweddrivers license to get down and supervise  work in another state every day ....   to even drive to and fro from HOme Depot there  ...

also  the contracts for our marital home havent been negotiated much less written  even weeks after  our preapproval 

the wedding is WEEKS away and i havent even been fittedf or my dress  not do i have shoes  or hair  ....

the fiances  present house has to be decluttered extensively facelifted and put on the market ASAP and guess whos in  charge ...

You know what .. these are all LUXURY problems  ... and I truly appreciate that but they ARE the kind of stressful  problems that make U too tired andthen U overeat over em  .... and THat s not cool either .   I NEED  time to make my meetings  .. necessary exercise  is  but a DREAM  .... and thats not OK either   grrrr... 

Gina, I missed your post yesterday!!  I might not always respond, but I always read yours first thing when I get on that day.

Congrats on your upcoming 30th anniversary!!

We sure want to get back up that way next spring, but will have to wait and see what happens.  My BIL has had some health issues but is doing much better.  My SIL is having shoulder surgery this morning.  They are the ones that we visit in Mechanicsville.

I am so glad it is Friday, even though I only worked Wed. Thur & today.

My niece called me and wants me to walk/jog with her in a 5K 12/11/10.  I am thinking seriously about doing it.  I have always wanted to.  I can't run because my knees just won't take the stress even after the weight loss.

I still need to go and buy some clothes.  3 pair of pants are just not enough for a workweek!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

May have to look into that meeting you are talking about, I should only be about 4 hours away ( I think) Not sure where you live but that is pretty much the distance anywhere from the beach.

Next few weeks are of course crazy around here, as always, DS #1 may have to have surgery for a ganglion cist, nothing big but something for me to worry about.
DS # 2 and 3, have birthdays and meetings to attend for.
DD #1, has not been taking her prophy like she is supposed to, so it is my quest to make sure she gets her IV's at least 3x a week again.
Over Thanksgiving we are "supposed" to go to Kansas and Indiana ( round trip in 7 days) to visit family. So been trying to coordinate someone to take care of my MANY animals.

The best thing to look forward to this weekend, tomorrow we are headed to the Shenandoah Caverns for a Virginia Hemophilia meeting, complete with costume contest. DD#1 will not be able to go but everyone else will head up there. Cant wait for it, seeing my bleeding disorder family again is wonderful.
Then of course we have Trick Or Treating on Sunday!!!!! Do not need to say anymore. Carving pumpkins tonight.....

Ok sorry im long winded, writing it down it doesnt seem as much to do LOL....

Heck I am even trying to win an autographed bat from the Norfolk Tides, swing critters that I can find enough of my facebook friends to help me with that quest....

Hi Gina! How was your support meeting and dinner?

Nothing much happening for me. I've got a scar revision on November 5th down by my daughters' place. A friend will be going with me. I want to spend the night at her place the night before and get some baby time, then have the surgery on Friday and come home on Friday. Its only a 30 min procedure, so hopefully it won't be too disabling. Will probably keep me off the dance floor and out of zumba for awhile.

My dads' birthday is the 10th. I need to get a card in the mail, and if I'm a good daughter, I should go down (3+ hour drive) and go to dinner with them. My sister always takes them out.

Just trying to lend the usual motherly support for my son, who is in the process of taking more tests for his CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) certification. Was late for work this morning because he wanted to talk - hey - I'll take it whenever I can! He's gone for the weekend again and even when he is around I rarely get a chance to talk to him, and yes he lives with me... (sigh)

Moving on with a new boyfriend. The one from VA is begging me to reconsider, but I just can't do that right now.... loonnnggg story I won't go into here.

Besides that, a Halloween party tomorrow night, nothing planned for tonight yet. May get with a G/F and see what's up.

happy 30th anniversary Gina that is wonderful
