Terrific Tuesday

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Co-worker is coming over after work so we can work on sewing her a bow case. Yes she's now into target shooting with a bow and arrows. Of course it is pink and she has pink arrows. Not sure how I got talked into this. Before I knew it she had purchased the fabric and I'm roped into it. I sew but not sure about all this. So we'll jump in head first and see what comes out.

Down to one vehicle right how. Brake lines went on the truck so hubby took it to get fixed and there are some other issues so they won't work on it. It's old but it keeps going. So hubby gonna look around to see if someone else will fix it or what to do.

Yesterday we had rain and snow! Miss the gorgeous weather of the weekend. Thankfully the snow didn't stick.

Hubby helped me pull off clip art to make up electronic invitation for Christmas Dinner for work. Will e-mail them out today to everyone. Turned out nice I think.

Off to make it a great day!

Magnificient Monday

Monday, November 12, 2012

Had a wonderful time with son and dil and hubby. The weather was so beautiful. Being out in nature was so nice. Went to Red River Gorge in KY. Did a lot of hiking in nature. The landscape is gorgeous. The hills and rock formations were incredible. Son made it up part way and DIL and I made it to the top of natural bridge. It was a tough hike up hill but was way worth it at the top. There was so many neat trails everywhere you look.

Now back home to rain and much cooler weather this week.

It was a wonderful break. Good time with the kids.

Off to make it a great day! Back to work! No days off for us. Wish we did though!

You remind me that I need to get out in nature more. I think my soul longs for that. But my brain is addicted to the stupid computer! Report Inappropriate Comment

Fantastic Friday

Friday, November 09, 2012

Woke up early and have a jump start to my three day weekend. Starting to do some of the short exercise videos on SparkPeople and I like them...along with my other exercises.

Leaving around 10 to head to our son and DIL for our 3 day weekend at Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Renting a cabin and doing some hiking, hanging out and spending time together. Looking forward to the time away. Hoping to relax and refresh. Nature typically calms me down and refocuses me.

Son asked what kind of snack I eat...well I eat fruits and raw nuts and veggies. What kind of pop do I drink....really don't...drink water or tea. Guess I have changed my life a lot.

Off to make it a great weekend!

Terrific Thursday

Thursday, November 08, 2012

We have made it through the week...almost...

Got through Curves with Mom and she did OK. Says she really enjoy watching WII bowling and a friend is going to teach her how to play after breakfast today at the main house so she can start playing with them So thrilled she has matched up with someone. We haven't had a lot of time to spend with her and maybe she's reaching out some. So want her to get involved a little and find a buddy to maybe go out or go to their activities with so she doesn't rely on us for everything. Daughter called her last night and they talked for 20 minutes on how much fun she had.

Haven't heard any more on the trip..so guess we're still on...and there's been no glitches.

BFF sent me flowers yesterday. I was so surprised! Brought tears to my eyes and then I felt guilty...boy she must have thought I was a basket case...kinda was. What a wonderful thing she did. Really helped to cheer me up. She is the bestest!

Off to make it a great day!

Wacky Wednesday

Wednesday, November 07, 2012

Made it through our study last night. Our attendance was less but we had a good study.

Wonder what today will hold? Planning to take Mom to exercise after work.

Some ladies are reaching out to Mom and she walked down and watched them Wii Bowl last night. That's the second time. Then they drove her home. She really enjoyed herself. They are trying to get her to play. She said next time she would. Praying they continue to reach out to her. She needs to get involved with someone and enjoy life.

More settled about upcoming weekend. Guess it takes me time to process everything.

Really feel in my gut I need to change jobs. Something keeps nagging me I need to get out of there. Where to go and what to do...I am not sure.

Off to make it a great day!

Good morning my friend. Glad to see mom's getting around a bit more I hope she continues and that the other ladies continue to reach out to her as well. Sometimes 'over' analyzing a situation takes the fun out of it... Have a wacky Wednesday filled with all kinds of fun.. I second what Mary said.. update that resume Donna Report Inappropriate Comment

Things do work out when we relax. If I may give you some advice, update your resume and send it out while you still have this job! Best wishes. Report Inappropriate Comment
