Hey Everyone,
I slept the best I've slept in two weeks last night. Charlie had to get up early to go to work, so I decided to at least get up and out of bed by 8:30, which for a Sunday AM was very unusual for me. If I had slept any later, I wouldn't be able to go to sleep tonight and 6:30 will come all too fast tomorrow morning. I had breakfast on the terrace all by myself. I'm not sure Charlie working retail hours will work for us long term. I will tell you that they typically print out the sales for each day at Restoration Hardware and while they have a sort of goal, there's not incentive tied to that goal. Charlie outsold everyone in the store yesterday and the manager presented him with his printout when he arrived this morning. If only they paid well, he might be able to stay. But for the pittance they pay and the fact they don't give part timer's health insurance, he'll have to find something more appropriate. Anyway, I did my normal Sunday things. Lunch at Panera, coffee under the oak and a nice long workout at the gym. I'll go to the gym tomorrow night too, then Tuesday, we'll meet after work for Sushi. I've got dinner ready to cook. Fresh homemade (by me) jumbo lump Maryland style crabcakes and fresh Silver Queen corn. Depending on Charlie feels after working all day, we may go for a quick cup of coffee or I'll slip out and get us a cup if he wants to just lounge around the condo.
I'm sorry your shopping list of bling went unfulfilled Marcy. I sounds like you showed wonerful restraint at the Italian restaurant last night. Good for you! I'm glad you still have a beaming smile from ear to ear. You so deserve to!
I'm with Marcy. Perry has taught me more about allergies than I ever knew. And I'm grateful (Rod said knocking on wood) that at this time in my life, I have no allergies to anything (that I'm aware of)!
Welcome to our healthy family Amanda. It will great to have someone who can help us with questions about medicines on our team! Sounds like you live a nice healthy lifestyle indeed and I'm sure you'll really enjoy the friendships and healthy banter on this thread. Most of us write at least daily. A daily confessional of sorts, but it helps to keep us focused on livng healthy. Anyway, welcome!
Hey Miss Lorelei. I hope your toof is feeling better and you've had a great weekend. I'm looking forward to logging in tomorrow night and reading your always inspirational weekly opener!
Yummm to Pizza Kimberly!!
Sorry the cake was disappointing DeeJay. Sometimes they look so good, but taste just so so. Woo Hoo for continuing to stay focused on exercise and doing 70 mins on the elliptical!!
Hey Phoenix. I'm sorry you cried, but I imagine it actually helps you to overcome your grief and sense of loss. I'm glad the therapist suggested you set a place to keep things that will remind you of your dad. I'm also glad you let hubby take you out to lunch yesterday. Hugs to you from me.......
I'mglad the cilantro didn't overpower the spinach lasagna Skippy! I'm sure everyone loved your meal and had a great time for sure. Grocery shopping was fine. I didn't buy a single item not on the list, even though I did come across things I thought we needed, I didn't get them. Nope. If someone wonders out load why we're out of something, I'll just comment that it wasn't on the list, so it wasn't purchased. LOL
K.....need to get things cooking. Charlie will be home shortly and I'm famished after my workout.
Will probably check in again later. Have a great evening everyone!
