Okay, I'm Back!!

Praise the LORD, I am feeling better!!! I am almost 100% back to normal today. I went to church for both services, manned the women's ministry table, and was in my social glory. It's a good thing that I wasn't seriously ill because the men in this house are NOT nurturing at all! I cannot even begin to tell you how un-helpful they were. But I love them anyway...most of the time. No, just kidding, I love them all of the time!

So what's new? What's going on? What has my life been like? Well, let's see... Oh, I know, first up is Entrecard. Boy, oh boy, are people in a tizzy over the new changes. Out of the 300 sites I drop on each day, there have been at least two dozen that are flat out outraged and who will no longer have the EC widget on their sites. I will miss them. I really will. You see, I had JUST figured out how to have the perfect "Favorites" list and now with people leaving, I don't know how the heck to get them off of that list. It's not like I dont WANT to read their blogs anymore but to be honest, some of them I really just glanced at and moved on. So how can I remove them from my favorites if they are no longer even listed on the EC site? I'm so confused.

And speaking of EC, I was blessed this weekend with an abundance of free EC credits compliments of Margie & Edna and Lola's Diner. I thank you all so much that was quite a nice treat.

Okay, here's something to ponder: We have some friends who are in business for themselves and they have family that are in business for themselves and sometimes the two businesses come together on a project or two. Now we all know the "never work with family" rule, but sometimes it can work. Well, what do you do when there comes a time when it doesn not work so BADLY (meaning, one of the family businesses messes up a job with their total lack of professionalism) that it now affects YOUR business? Do you confront? Do you just shrug and vow to not work together again? Personally, I advised my friend to sort of confront her brother on his poor work habits and make him take responsibility for where things went wrong. What would you do?

I'm hoping to go out walking tomorrow and figure out the pedometer issue. Thank you to all of you with the advise. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thank you to my girl, Danette, who, in my hour of need, ran to the CVS for me and got me Nyquil and ginger ale. You are my angel. :-)

All of my friends from my Disney group are just now getting back from their trips. We're getting together on Thursday so we can hear all of the details. I have to admit, I'm not feeling very gracious right now. Okay, I'm acting like a spoiled brat! I wanted to go!!! Why can't I go??? Poverty sucks!!! I need a vacation!!! Why is life so unfair??? Why hasn't Disney granted me a vacation prize??? I deserve it!!! WAAHHH!!!!!

Okay, I'm off to do laundry. Have a great Sunday!

Updates and blah, blah....

Okay, so I am starting to feel better finally. Not great, but better. I was sitting on the couch watching TV with Frank this afternoon when suddenly it felt like my head weighed like 1000 lbs and I just sort of fell over. I took a lovely two hour nap and revived myself. It was wonderful. I did not have to use the inhaler today and just a few minutes ago took my first dose of codeine for the day. Yeah, me!

I have NOT gotten any offers on the treadmill thing. I wasn't really expecting to, but it would have been nice. I have six weeks to drop ten pounds and I know I can do it with the treadmill. The Walk Away the Pounds is good - when I do it. Which I have not. Often. Really.

For those of you who are local, I had a great deal happen for me today. I shopped at the new Lowes Foods here in town. I had a $20 off any order of $60 or more coupon PLUS if you spend $100 and use your rewards card, you get five cents per gallon off of gas at the new gas station! SO.....I did my food shopping and spend OVER $100 (that added on to the $80 I spent last week) and got TEN CENTS per gallon off PLUS saved $20 on my food bill. I was feeling all kinds of thrifty after that one.

We are going to Florida in July. Yes, that is why I have to lose the ten pounds. I'm just being cautious, people. I have been conversing with dad's wife and she assures me that dad is going to behave but I don't need to hand him any ammunition! So think thin, again, everyone!

As for the wedding dress pictures that caused the cardiac moment yesterday...
Well, Nick assures me that while yes, it was all in good fun, the truth is that the pictures were taken so that they can be posted on Craigslist to try and SELL the wedding gown. We'll see...

I have been cruising the world wide web looking at different blogs and there are a lot out there that are written by stay at home moms. You know, this is the last week of the bookstore and then I am going to be unemployed. I no longer can look at myself as a stay-at-home mom because well...I don't know. The title just doesn't seem to fit me. Maybe I can say that I am an unemployed, stay at home mom? Maybe? I don't know, it's quite a mouthful. We'll see.

Okay, sleepy medicine is kicking in. Night-night!
