Now doesn't this make you feel sorry for, Monday? Come on people, show Monday some love! It's going to be a great day! cheesy

Oh that's funny considering my facebook status for this morning says Monday Mornings should be banned!!! LOL

Good morning ... just got a very busy but AWESOME weekend. One of neices is turning 1 and her b-day party was Saturday and my mother in law flew in for it. We had most of the family over for dinner yesterday before my MIL ad to leave. Looking forward to a 5 day weekend this weekend... if weather permits I will spend most of those days outside planting new flowers and getting the veggie garden going.

Well I hope everyone has a great day!!!!

Speaking of moving reminds me of travel which reminds me of the first need for a countdown volunteer for 2011 as we will be traveling to the coast Wednesday afternoon.
Said volunteer will need to be prepared to run the count for 3 mornings - Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Any takers?
(We must not have a gap. Bad luck, you know.)

I can take care of it.

We can always count on you, my friend.
Thanks a mint-a!
(I can leave now knowing the count is in good hands.)

I saw it when it originally came out!!! Not the actual commandments but the movie!!

Why did I read that with a mouthful of food? I almost spit it all over my computer! HAHAHAHA! I read it to Wayne and he got a chuckle too. cheesy

I will have to admit that Monday is my favorite day when it is the beginning of days off. So this coming week, Friday and Saturday won't be my favorite at the end of our break. Go figure! How wishy-washy am I?

Monday is my favorite day of the week

I only hated Mondays when I was in school. :-?

Funny how I like working more than I ever did going to school. All my jobs require me to move around and I like it SO MUCH more than sitting at a desk all day. I always got more worn out sitting than I do being on my feet and moving around. I also have been very lucky to always have a good boss to work for, even as a teenager with my first job.

Good afternoon! Both kids napping.. I should be, too! I was up all night, throwing up.. ugh! I hope it was just something I ate and the kids and hubby don't catch it. We're just vegging today, watching a Toy Story marathon

3 months, 1 week until Christmas in July - can ya believe it?!?!

You know...this actually does make me feel bad for Monday! Mine has actually been great so far, so I actually don't hate it today! =p

Sorry....but my Monday has been full of time-wasters that could have been done by chimpanzee. Everything I had set out on my desk to do today is still here. Only the time-wasters have been finished. :-?

I hate when that happens, MerryBells. I had a lot of that too but fortunately everyone left me alone today and I was able to get everything done. I hope tomorrow is better for you!!!

Hello everyone!

The weather is cool and rainy here and I'm ready for it to be WARMER and DRIER!!! Anyone else??

Today has been a pretty decent day. Work was good for a Monday - was able to get everything done and my boss was in a good mood. She and I have been getting along really well the last few weeks, which is great because for some reason, there was tension between us since we started working together. I'm not even really sure what happened but I am very grateful for it!

I don't have to work job #2 tonight, so I'm trying to get laundry done, as well as clean up a bit. I always feel so much better when I get rid of clutter! Tonight, there is grocery shopping to be done, then Dancing with the Stars!

Have a great night, everyone! <3

You are SOOOOOO lucky to have your mom. Mine has been gone since 1992, and I still miss her to this day!

I agree. I lost my mother in 1998 and there has not been a day I haven't shed a tear for her.

So.....here is how our afternoon went....and this was unintentional....

At 5, we started watching Toy Story 3 and then ate supper...followed by Wizard of Oz...we watch this kind of stuff in the fall before Christmas movies....

Next weekend....one of the classics....The Ten Commandments...I can't wait....love that show...

Time for sleep friends....away to dream of coffee beans and Binger!

I love The Ten Commandments too !!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry that I've been MIA for a bit! My new chick-fil-a store opened this week on Thursday and I've been crazy busy with that. I think I logged about 70 hours this week with only about 20 hours of sleep total all week. Our store logged amazing numbers and we are officially the #7 CFA grand opening of all time! Yay! However, I'm exhausted!!!! Thank goodness we are closed on Sundays - I neeeeeeeded the day off so bad to see my family and rest and nap and nap. But I'm extremely proud to be a part of this! It was so exciting and everything went so smooth!!

Anyways, I feel like the count to Christmas jumped way far while I was away. Its so exciting to see us getting so close to the milestones! I've been using my TSO cds to keep me awake when driving home at night from work. They serve two purposes - to keep me in the Christmas spirit AND to keep me awake when driving after all these long days LOL.

Today is my 6th wedding anniversary and the 13th anniversary of being cancer free. So a pretty special day!

I'm glad to hear everyone stayed safe in all of those storms that were so destructive over the last week. How scary! This has been a very rough winter turned into a very turbulent spring for many of us. What on earth could that mean for this summer? Will we finally get a break or should we be preparing for a long, hot, stormy summer too?

Speaking of tornados, I just found The Wizzard of Oz on tv! I haven't watched that in a long time - I think I'll go tune in and veg out a bit more!

Have a good day!

Laney, God bless you. I am sorry I missed your special days. Hope your wedding anniversary as well as the anniversary of being cancer free were special.

I hope you get better!

I am glad Monday is going well for you.

That is my goal this week is to clear out some clutter in my house!

Good afternoon!

Got a lot done today and that included eating out for a change. It was nice to get a break from washing dishes Went to the local Goodwill but didn't find anything. While browsing I noticed that they have raised prices any where from 25-50% on most items and reduced the size of their Christmas display area. I wonder if other stores in the chain have done the same thing.

Willa and the babies are doing fine - one of them is constantly on the move and I have to keep putting him back.

Have a great evening!!!!!

And with this post, Crown84 is poster #8,200. Their prize is a fresh, brand new RARE three-leaf clover!!! I was so happy when I stumbled upon it, literally!! I can hardly wait to hear how you like it!

We can always count on you, my friend.
Thanks a mint-a!

Good afternoon, everyone. I am so glad to be home from work! Only three more days to go for this week, and then we're officially on Easter Vacation until Monday, May 2. I have been working hard to do lesson plans for the new school year. I like to get way ahead at least until the first week of January so I can enjoy all the holidays with no need to do school stuff. For some reason, getting them done until after Christmas really gives me a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of relief. I hope everyone has a great evening. I am trying to finalize the independent study info by tomorrow and to get the new calendar made for the new school year. I am also going to work on getting all my copies made that I will need until the end of the school year and to get started on the first few weeks of the upcoming school year. I love being prepared!

Good Evening MMC !

Here I sit in a truck stop in Fargo ND.
Been awhile since I got on line, discovering that not many truck stops have the Internet connection. I had to buy time for this one.

I also discovered that life on the road is not for me. I am going to ask them for a route where I am only gone for 2 or 3 days a week. I miss my life. I want a job to support my life, not one to be my life.

I have been trying to catch up here, but will have to do it when I have more time.

I miss talking to you all, have a fantastic evening!

 

[made582]

You are SOOOOOO lucky to have your mom. Mine has been gone since 1992, and I still miss her to this day!

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your mom so long ago. :-( We can get on each others nerves but I try not to take my time with her for granted since she has had so many health issues over the last 5 years.

 

[Seawaters]

I hope your request works out for you!

I had to go into the kitchen and get dinner started in the crockpot: Italian chicken with garlic, oregano, basil, seasoned tomatoes, portabello mushrooms, onions, roasted garlic tomato paste and, of course, chicken. I will make basmati rice just before we eat. Only four more posts to go to reach 8,200.

Sounds Yummy!!!!!!!!!!(expect the mushrooms)
