Mindless Tuesday . . . . .

Today is bright, sunny and absolutely beautiful!  We might get some clouds and rain from the coastal storm moving in, but, for now, I'm going to soak up the rays and simply enjoy!  I have to go to the office for a little bit, but hopefully the clouds stay back East and let me do some yardwork when I come home!

Enjoy your day everyone! 

I had raw cauliflower and ranch veggie dip. 

Deb W.

Deb, you are a far better woman than I. 

I did, however, do the abs/core routine on my balance ball last night, so I have the illusion of already burning the calories from the chocolate I ate this morning.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'll be going home and knocking back a few Vodka's and Peach Iced-teas so you're probably the better one, Tina !!!

Deb W.

Deb, I'm glad your baby's home for the summer!  :)  Tina, why didn't you invite me over for breakfast?  lol 

I'm going to try to avoid using the 2 x 4 but I think I may need it at some point today.  Why does the simplest thing turn into a major affair when my DH gets involved?  grrrrr

Well I took Bugsy to the lake this morning and swam him until he was getting fairly low in the water.  Unfortunately he still thinks we are going for a run.  He is not nearly as calm with all the workers as he was yesterday, sigh.

I had a terrible time yesterday staying on task as I was constantly interrupted and the next few days are beyond chaotic and full.  Off to NY for the weekend and feeling terribly stressed because I have several articles to write and I cannot write in the sea of chaos that is my world.

But the sun is shining and it is to be another nice day.

 considering taking some benedryl for my itchy watery eyes but don't want to be super sleepy.

Jewlieee

 considering taking some benedryl for my itchy watery eyes but don't want to be super sleepy.

Benedryl turns me into Rip Van Winkle within an hour and then when I wake up I'm foggy and incoherent. Antihistimines and me don't get along much!

I want to clean instead of work today. I have spring cleaning fever! I can't wait until we can go to the town dump and get rid of some big stuff (broken vacuum cleaner, two computer monitors and other various odds and ends that have been sitting around for forever). I just want all the crap out of here! Alas, I have to work and I have a busy day ahead of me at that! 

Went to the doc's yesterday. We talked about my anemia and possible causes and solutions. She took more blood to see where I'm at right now. We're thinking is menses related. I am looking into that thermachoice ablation thing. She said it's a really simple and more importantly effective procedure that'd probably set me to rights. So checking with the gyn about insurance do dads and such.

Lily went for her physical also yesterday...for her 10th birthday. All is well but her weight was a bit concerning. She's like 25% for weight...the girl eats like a bird and drinks hardly at all we we'll have to work on that. Not sure how,...maybe more smoothies and milkshakes and such.

Learned to make a Mojito last night and it was GREAT. I limited myself to two tho. LOL. The hubs went to the baseball game with his co workers and several clients to schmooze. He seemed to have a great time...it's good to see him enjoying his job again. His stress level has taken a major nosedive which can only be to the entire families benefit.

The opthamologist amended his recommendation on Eli's eyes so no specialists right now, he reconsidered after reviewing what he saw after the boy's eyes were dialated. We're doing a new scrip for the glasses and blurring drops for his eyes since patching was just not working for us. 6 weeks with this and we'll see if progress has sped up any. I hope it has. Eli deserves a break! he was home sick yesterday because of tummy troubles the night before. Seemed fine today so he is at school.

My nose is still a bit stuffy but thankfully my throat seems to be losing the soreness of the past several days. Ah the healing power of rum and limejuice!

Good thoughts to those that need them!

We decorated Riley's B-day cake last night for her party tomorrow.  What complete and total chaos that is my family!  You could see DH getting overwhelmed with all the people, kids, animals, etc. running through our house just to decorate this cake.  At one point he asked me why we just didn't have the party last night LOL.  Silly man, there's more people coming over on Wednesday.  How quickly he forgets the madness of an Italian family.

Cake turned out good.  My friend decorates/makes cakes as a side thing so she helped me and everyone else did the play by play.

Anyone see Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday?  I had never seen it before but since they were showcasing my product (OnStar FMV) and my boss I was compelled to watch.  It was weird watching him on TV (if you watched, he was the grey haired, goatee guy) but he did a good job!  Plus it was fun watching people get all excited about something I have been spending a billion hours working on.  Sorry for the plug but it was cool to see.

Not much else, but work today.  I have tomorrow off for Riley's b-day.  I think we are going to take Riley to park and run her butt off so she takes a good nap before the party.

Take care everyone.  And Deb, should we remind you how excited you are to have Kate home when she's driving you nuts this summer

I Tivo'd it and watched it last night.  I was wondering if you were going to make a guest appearance !!

Yeah, right LOL  It was actually taped back in November, and the pres of OnStar that was on has already left - talk about a little awkward.
