welp, today is art class day. i might go to a special meeting before, don't know.  i looke forward to the art class. part of the time this week is going to be spen****ching a film on pastels. yippeee.   really i would just rather work on the art. oh well.  i must learn this stuff.yep, i must.
then come home before the ice storm hits.  tommorrow we are supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow on top of the layer of ice. yippee.   really i do like the snow, but not the ice.  you get get 3 inches of snow here and have a blizzard because sometimes the wind blows up to 40-50 miles per hour with gusts even higher. we actually have higher winds than the windy city, chicago.  i don't mind.  i miss it when i don't live here. funny, huh?

so what's up with you guys. i sure like it when peole answer, do i stink? i use deoderant, i promise.  welp, time to go pardners.  yeeehaaa!!!!!

Good evening Vick.  I didn't get a chance to check the boards earlier.  Forgot my house key at home when I went to work last evening and couldn't get in this am after work.  I discovered my error before I left the building and did not walk home and need to return to work.  I spent the day sleeping in an empty room and waiting till my hubby got home from day shift.  this afternoon, I made an extra copy of the house key and will place it in my work locker.  No more getting locked out again.  Brain fart is my explanation.  Smells better than RNY gas.  lol

The neighbor's pit-bull/black lab mix was loose in our yard when I returned from an errand with the dogs,  my yorkie Gretta what yipping at the neighbor's dog, telling the big dog to get off "her yard",  Gretta ducked into the house asap when the door was opened.  She is smart that way, yip and run.  No harm done, just a noisy yorkie.  She is sooooo bossy, thinks she is the big dog for the whole block, even though she has 'little/big dog syndrome'.

Your deodorant is working just fine Vick.  Keep up the posts.  Hope your art day went well.  hugs, Kathy

Hi Vick. Hope your day went well and you had fun in art class. Keep posting the agendas and keep your jokes coming. You and Kathy are a hoot.

Kathy, sorry you got locked out all day!

Hope everyone had a great day. I am trying to train someone at work who will be doing my job while I'm out for 3 weeks. She just started today and we're trying to cram in 6 months of training in 6 days!! It's adding even more to the list of things I need to get done by next Thursday, and she was definitely feeling overwhelmed by this afternoon. When I am out there will be no one there who knows my job to help her! (My regular backup person's last day is this Friday!) At least I am having pretty good success sticking to my preop Atkins style diet. We're all going out tomorrow as a farewell lunch for the co-worker who's leaving, and I'm not sure what I'll eat at the place we're going. They have wonderful pasta dishes, but I WON"T be having that, for sure. Ever since I got so sick last Thursday I'm afraid to eat salad. That's what I threw up and all I could taste for 2 days afterward. I wasn't sure if I had a virus, food poisoning, or gallbladder attack, but when I descibed it to the surgeon Monday he said "if that wasn't gall bladder, I don't know what is!" Anyway, can't eat a grilled chicken salad, my old standby, so will figure out something. Wish me luck.

Thanks, Vickie. It was an experience I sure don't want to repeat. Yes things are pretty stressful and I'm just trying to deal without turning to food. I believe that God brought me to this point in my search for an answer to my weight, because so far everything has just fallen into place like it was meant to be. Every roadblock has been removed so things worked out. I just have to trust that this will all work out too and that the place won't come to a screeching halt if things aren't done perfectly, or even if they have to hold onto some things til I get back. They''ll muddle through the best they can and learn to appreciate me, LOL. I just hate it for her that she will have so little training and then feel overwhelmed and frustrated. Don't want her to quit before she gets started!

I'd stay on here all day if I could. DH complains if I stay on too long in the evenings. Feels deserted, so I try to limit my time to 1 hour and some days only have a quick few minutes to catch up on posts.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...

LOL, that last part is supposed to read " I'd stay on HERE all day". Everytime I try to edit for a typo, I get an error message and it won't post the correction. Don't know what's up with that, but I guess I need to proofread better before I hit "submit"!
