Insane Damage Control on a SUNDAY!

[gidget1978]

Good Morning

I guess its really afternoon now I had a couple of busy days this weekend. I would get up in the morning with the intention to check in but once I start doing things around the house, I can't seem to find the time to sit down and check in.

I had baby group brunch here yesterday morning so on Fri all I did was clean and I made a few dishes. Yesterday was the brunch and the day flew by, it was crazy! Last night we had DH's work party so I had waaaay to much to drink! We went to the same restaurant we went to last year and the bartender makes up her own recipes for drinks. She made me a drink that knocked me right on my a$$. It was so strong and I was feeling no pain at dinner! Of course I just sat there quietly and didn't make a moron out of myself Then we continued on and I think I had atleast 4 shooters and 3 coolers. We went to Mcd's on the way home (which was 4 o'clock) and I took 2 pills before I went to bed. I still woke up with a sllight headache but I will be o.k. Im not sick...we also danced ALOT. My feet were killing me b/c of course, I had to wear new shoes! LOL Anyway, thats it for outtings! Thanks be to God! Nothing else until Christmas eve and thats just a family thing, nothing crazy. Yippee!

I have a few gifts I need to get for christmas. I would like to go do that today and get it over with but I probably won't! Ugh! I also need to stock up on groceries. I don't know if we will do that today or save it for Wed or Thurs.

So the new owners came in on Thurs and they seem o.k. I didn't really talk to them. Just kind of tended on them like I was a waiter The old man is in his 70's and he is the boss....in all sense of the word. Has much as his son is his right hand man, he still makes the call. I think they will be o.k to work for/with. We probably won't see them much.

Even though its been crazy I have still gotten my workouts in, besides for yesterday. I did over 7 miles on Thurs and 7 miles on Fri plus PH. Im not sure what I will do today but it will be something and it will probably be soon b/c my hair is like i stuck my finger in a socket so the faster i can get that washed and dried the better
I will bbl to catch up on personals! Im really hungry all of a sudden!

Morning girlies !

Well up and at a few work projects so far - still loads more to do but will space it out throughout the day. Y'day turned out be to pretty productive although my puppy needs a couple lumps taken care of since one has started splitting open and bleeding all over whereever she sits. DH took her to DD's vet but they couldn't fit a surgery in. So . . . I am following along behind her cleaning the carpet everytime she sits down. DH was SUPPOSED TO put one of my thongs with a Shamwow on it to mop up but never did ! Go figure. He made an appt for Jan. 12th ! Told DD he wanted it after Xmas ! So now DD will see if she can move some other patients out so we can fix this. I don't have time to clean up after her every move. Think perhaps I'll go get some Maxi pads or something to try to "attach" to her somehow. Sorry if that was TMI !

Anyway - got a couple things crafted for SIL's, still a couple more to do - started dusting and cleaning my room (Woo Hoo !) and may run over for a couple little items for my older nieces and DD (Bath & Body Works). Will continue to do my work work and clean the bedroom and that will have to be about all other than call to set the time and menu for Xmas. And I figured out why I haven't received a shipping notice - mine will come USPS. Hopefully not too much longer since I shoulda been one of the first - I was actually #47 !

Lori - Sounds very busy for you lately. Good to hear the new Bosses sound OK - hope it all works out. Also hope you took care of that hair quickly girl ! LOL ! Mine is more limp and ugly than looking like I plugged into a light socket. Will hit the shower for a good wash today also !

BBL when I need a break . . .

Hi Ladies,

Not much going on today so far. I really need to vacuum and get all the dust from the drapes out of here. DH is having friends over for the football game this so I should really get on it.

I'm going to make an effort to get back to clean eating. I felt really good when I was eating better. I've also had a few flare ups with my skin, due to eating more dairy I'm sure. This morning I started with a bowl of oatmeal w/ 1tsp of flax oil and 1tsp of almond butter. It was delicious.

I'm going shopping with my sister today to finish up our last minute items. It should be fun. Also, we are doing xmas eve at her house this year so will be deciding the menu and we are both cooking. My stepmom told us she would not be around for thanksgiving or xmas this year. She said she didn't know what she was doing but she wasn't going to be home. That really threw a wrench in things because we have always gone to my dad's for xmas eve. She is kind of distancing herself from our family since my dad's passing.

Lori-No matter how busy you are you also seem to get in your workout! I wish I had your energy and determination. Did you order Shock Cardio? It sounds like you had fun last night and that's the important part.

Jacque-It sounds like you made good progress on your projects. Handmade gifts are the best. I wish I was more creative, but thankfully I have a little sister who can make pretty much anything. She is very crafty and her DH is too! Someday I hope to get to cleaning our room.

Hey Ladies.

Still have to do my work out (CP&R) but I'm in a funk so I'm totally unmotivated. I've been "sulking" around most of the day. Something's gotta give soon or I'm gonna lose my mind! Sorry to be a downer. This is why I hadn't posted sooner. Didn't want to bring you all down with my cryptic but depressing posts!

I'll be back l8r or tmrw when I'm hopefully in better spirits!

Running through for a quick break !

Dusted and straightened my room - now it must last for another year ! Ha ! Got a few items when shopping - just need a little stocking stuffer type of gift for a couple nephews and I'll be done since DH and I just decided to skip ourselves this year. I've signed up for the San Diego EB tour and am thrilled so that will be all I need. Will be a great time since I'll meet Diana there and will have a weekend with no one to answer to ! Just need to hop on my work work, possibly wrap some gifts and then I'll hit the vacuuming and redusting the remainder of the house after work this week. I'm done except for calling my SIL's for the menu. Woo Hoo am feeling better now since my home life is basically caught up.

Diana - sounds like you had a good day relaxing and then accomplishing a few things. Hope shopping went well for you. My step-mom pretty much cut us off too after my Dad passed away. Know she disliked things both my bro and I did/were so oh well . . . Hard to figure out sometimes but then my dad was not really nice to her towards the end when he got so frustrated with his deterioration. Sad times for sure. Hope DH & friends didn't dirty the house too much after you spent time cleaning. I say hand DH the vacuum and duster if they did!

Wendy - hope you kick your funk. You are usually so cheery I really hope things get better for you soon. Don't make me worry about you now . . . I'm not really excited for my favorite time of the year this year either . . . just want to make it through the holidays and accomplish a few projects at work and maybe I'll be myself again too. Of course starting my workouts again is a top priority when I get there and think as soon as I receive my Shock Cardio I'll be dying to start again. Go do your workout girl ! It will make you feel better physically at least !

Enjoy the rest of the day ladies !

Well I got my work out in at about 4:30-5pm finally. Felt good to sweat out some of mental/emotial "yucks". Had my spirits lifted a bit by chatting with a friend of mine just prior to working out as well so that helped too.

Jacque:: I am going to try to PM you now to fill you in a bit. Let me know that you got it.

Diana:: I hope your attempt to get back to clean eating works! I know I feel sooooo great when I eat right and so yucky when I don't. The bad sure does taste fantastic though, doesn't it!? It's especially hard to avoid this time of year. I will just try to make portion control my friend as much as possible and hope for the best until the New Year rolls around. So far I'm doing okay. *fingers crossed*

Laura:: Hope DH is on his way to feeling better!

Jen:: Miss ya girl! Hope to hear from you soon!
