Jeez...I'm missing talking to her on the phone. It's like she fell off the face of the earth. I hope she had a lovely time in the Bahamas. Now, help me with some ideas for your birthday. :-)
It's only Tuesday. Again, it feels like Friday. I have a lot to do but I'm feeling a lot of support from my co-workers and that helps so much. We had a good meeting this morning and I'm feeling a little optimistic about things in general. Still, I'm going to miss my co-worker who is leaving.... boo.
We have a big CEO breakfast in the morning. I'm looking forward to it. I think I'm ready. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day...but productive. :-)
Two weeks from Thursday, I'm going to VEGAS BABY!! I can't wait!

Hola!
I stink at posting sometimes...might as well get used to it.
I finished my writing class tonight. I'm not sure about my final project but I finally got it down to 500 words and decided to go with it. I have a cert of completion so I guess that means that I passed. It was a fun class. I like the feedback from people who don't know me. It's much easier and I think it gave me confidence. I have subsequently taken a refresher grammar course and I should have waited. I'm a little behind. What it tells me is that I know a lot about grammar, but I still have some problem areas. I'll get it though. I'm glad I'm taking it.
One of my co-workers got a new job today. I'm not surprised. I'm happy for her, sad for us. She really is creative and I have LOVED working with her. :( Not happy about this at all. I understand her need to move on.
Not much else is new...although hubby is taking me to VEGAS BABY!! I cannot wait!! I'm getting all the stuff I need to get done before I leave so that I can have a good time.
No quote...but at least I posted. :-)

No one should be this busy...
But here we are again. I've had a busy week again. I did get some writing done but I'm a little bit behind in my writing class. It's nearly over and I'm having a hard time keeping up because of all my extra curricular activities. Work was kind of harried all week and I worked about a 14 hour day on Thursday. Interesting things are going on at work. Never a dull moment, I'll tell you.
Tomorrow we are having a cookout and I've been busy getting ready for this. All the kids are home now and it was a wonderful day! I think I'm happiest when they are all here. Julia and I have been cooking and preparing all day.
I started back on Weight Watchers last Monday. I have lost nearly 5 pounds since Monday. I'm on a mission here. I kind of let things get out of whack and I'm going to get them back into whack. Oh, and also, I'm probably going through menopause. I'm trying to become friends with it, making fun of it any time I can. I mean what else is there to do?
That's about all I have time for today. I have a few things to do before going to bed. More soon! :-)

Does our bathroom smell like coffee?
I'm in one room watching a very important first episode of the bachelorette. Mr. That sent me a message through FB asking me if the bathroom smelled like coffee...how should I know? I'm in the living room. I did say that I would go and smell the bathroom at commercial. weird. I mean even it if does, what could that possibly mean? There is clearly no coffee in the bathroom. Update: So it was just commercial and I went into the bathroom and I'm sniffing, and sniffing, and sniffing and Mr. That is in the bathroom and I say, Nope, it doesn't smell like coffee and he said that he spilled a cup this a.m. in the bathroom and BOOM all of a sudden, I smelled coffee. So yes, I guess our bathroom does smell like coffee.
I was very successful with weightwatchers today. This might not seem like much of a victory but I've been trying to go back on ww for months. I did go over by one point today but I did get 3 workout points so all is good. I have to loose a whole dress size and I don't think it's going to be easy. The first week is always a mixed bag. It's easiest to loose a few pounds the first week because of water and such. But by day three, I am really feeling the lack of food. It's all good though. I really need to loose some weight. I read in people about Jennifer Hudson who when from a 16 to a 6 and she did it on ww. That really got me motivated. Here I go!!
Very busy at work, beyond busy but I'm really trying not to bring much home. I think I do better if I leave work at work and I've been pretty successful at it.
Not much else is new. Cant' wait for the weekend when the kids come home and we have a big cookout on Sunday. :-)

It's Sunday...
Why do the weekends go by so quickly? It was a wonderful one at that. We didn't do much of anything. I caught up on everything and it was so great! I do have another question though. How come I have all these early morning meetings all week and I have to get up so early, then on Saturday, I can sleep in until noon and I get up at 5:45? It's okay though, the back yard looks fabulous, The house is really shaping up. Almost makes me want to stay. I think we just might end up staying here for awhile. No one has looked lately, although to be truthful we haven't exactly made it easy for people to look. We have been out of town lately when we have received calls and haven't been able to show the house. I do have an observation about some Realtors. Some of them have no understanding about people who work full time and have to get kitties and a pup out of the house. Don't people know that you get more with sugar than with vinegar? Actually, this could be said of all professions, it's just that lately, I've been dealing with Realtors.
Life is going pretty good. Tomorrow I'm going to get back on Weight Watchers. I know, I know, I say this most Sunday's but I'm really going to try to get back on this wagon. I need to drop a dress size this summer and it's not happening the way we ate all this weekend. So tomorrow is the day.
I'm excited to be with all my children next weekend! I cannot wait! :)
Quote for the day: To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special. Jim Valvano

The weekend!!
I was so happy last night that it was finally Friday. It has been such a long week with early mornings and many meetings. The first round of our campaign meetings began this week. I guess it's official, campaign 2010 is in high gear.
Things have changed. I used to find any reason to go out and socialize, I loved every minute of it. I know that certain things have led to me being very content just to stay at home. I hope this doesn't mean I'm getting old. I just want to pursue writing. I have goals and I want to get some of them attained. You know, when you get to the halfway mark, you have to take control and decide what is really important. I want to write. We'll see how much writing I can get done.
Next weekend is Memorial weekend. I'm very excited about all the kids being home. I think that Bobby's girlfriend, Kristen and her parents are coming for the weekend as well. Christina and Mike are coming home too!
Worked outside a lot today. I bought new cushions for the patio furniture and just a few touches for the back yard.
I've been taking care of Mr. That this weekend as he had some minor surgery yesterday. It's been nice doting on him. I'm the boss of him for 48 hours and so far, he's been the model patient.

Joy Behar
Holy Cow, Jen Lancaster was on Joy Behar tonight! WOW! I only got to see a bit of it but kudos to Jen.
I'm working on my Twittering. I don't completely have the hang on it but Bobby said he would help me. I'll just bet Julia would help me too if I asked her. I try to tweet at least once a day. Sometimes it's difficult to think of something exciting to say.
Not much else for today. I'll post pictures from the party last night. I'll keep up by the weekend. My dogs are really tired tonight.
