Hubby and I slept in until 8:00 a.m. WOW!!! We have not slept that late in years! I am still sore and had some spasms of pain, but the medication is now under control. My daughter called this morning and wanted to know what my plans were--would it be hockey or basketball today. I told her I was going to enter the swim meet and compete in the butterfly. It only took me about 30 minutes to get cleaned up and put on pants this morning. I decided to keep on my PJ top for several reasons: it's a Christmas top, it's warm, and I was too tired to continue getting dressed! If I feel like going to Mass late this afternoon, I will put on a blouse, though!!! No matter, I will tune in to the Greasy Skillet. I can hardly wait!!! I just hope I can keep up with everyone!!! TTYL.

Good afternoon, MMC!
I am in the midst of a break at work. I am doing paperwork and of all things, it is making me sleepy. Not sure why that is happening, but it is definitely taking me longer to get through things. Hopefully it will make sleep easier for me tonight and I will not notice the time change when I wake up in the morning. One can hope!
Have a MERRY afternoon!!!

congratulations to your daughter & good luck to you, nice to see you back!!
hope you're b-day was a blast!!
dude, my allergies are CRAZY too!! i feel your pain!
ok made, the Colt's did totally screw up, getting rid of manning...but did you hear about the dumb move the Redskins made?
cm3 i'm so sorry for your b-i-l. gosh just after getting over the previous surgery. i will be in constant prayer for all of you!
i'm w/ you jennifer. i hate losing that 1 hour. it sure does feel like more than that when you're getting used to it! takes me a while too girl!!
hey ya'll! believe it or not, i'm by myself here. kids are gone out & hubby went w/ my uncle to a sportsmen classic in another town. nice & quiet here now.
i had heard the other day there was a shooting in our town. turns out, @ work i learned more about it & it's got me feeling down for several reasons.
the man who was shot & killed, went to his sister' home wanting $, the sister & her husband of course refused. the man shouted profanity @ them & said he would be back & left. he threatened his sister before leaving. when he came back, things happened & the sister's husband had no choice but to shoot him.this man has been on drugs for years, his wife is too. they have 2 children. now the sister & her husband (who i do not know) are nice people & have a nice home. the family is heartbroken, of course. my daughter is friends w/ the daughter of the man that was killed. she used to go to school w/ the girl but since changing schools they have lost touch but still talk on facebook. the man also has a son that's younger. i've asked several family members about the kids & if they stay w/ the mother (the couple was seperated) because as i said she's on drugs also. unfortunately the kids are w/ her but other family members make sure they have what they need. i just don't understand why no one has taken these kids to care for. i know she's the mom but come'on, drugs do NOT make a good mom. i'm worried what these kids have seen, been through, experienced. it's so sad! the friend of my daughter called me @ work today & i spoke w/ her a few minutes, she was @ a friend's house.
as you can see, there's several reasons i am feeling down. please keep this family in your prayers. the brother in law that shot the man & his sister are in turmoil as you could imagine. please pray for them!

A friend sent this to me to make me laugh. Well, it did the trick. Another trick to make me laugh is to listen to the Greasy Skillet. I will soon be laughing again!!!
A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM
If you read this without laughing out loud, there is something wrong with you. This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine.
Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, I purchased a week of personal training at the local health club.
Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.
I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.
Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.
________________________________
MONDAY:
Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god, with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!!
Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines... I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!
________________________________
TUESDAY:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT! It's a whole new life for me.
_______________________________
WEDNESDAY:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.
Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members.. His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster. Why would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. He said some other stupid stuff too.
_______________________________
THURSDAY:
The Greek Jerk was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late-- it took me that long to tie my shoes.
He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom. He sent some skinny witch to find me.
Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine-- which I sank.
_________________________________
FRIDAY:
I hate that donkey Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it.
Christo wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the darn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich.
The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
________________________________
SATURDAY:
Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel.
________________________________
SUNDAY:
I'm having the church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun-- like a root canal or a hysterectomy. I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

Just skip forward in your brain, Jennifer, to November 3rd when we can "fall back" AND be even closer to the Season!!!

Good evening, MMC! As you can see, I'm still not able to get caught up, but tomorrow will start to slow down for me and hopefully I will be able to start.
I worked last night and do tonight as well. I went to church and out to eat with my family. Now, it's ready for bedtime, that way I can catch a nap before going to work.
Alright, hope your all enjoying your weekend! Talk to you all tomorrow!
