Wednesday check-in

[pstansel]

Happy Wednesday fellow STACers. Hope we're all feeling good. It's my daugter's first day of kindergarten today and I think my wife might be sobbing in a corner somewhere . Sticking to the treadmill every morning, but boy are my legs beat when I get to work and hit the stairs!

Look at you moving right along!! Whoo hooo!

Feeling great Gonna be good day!

My life has been **** since the hurricane of last year. Slowly... I am beginning to see light. Please keep all of us in your prayers. Sometimes it seems the ball starts rolling and then wham! instant wall. It's very hard to think you may be moving forward with your life only to be stopped so short. I just want to be normal again.

Hey everyone, good morning. Paul, I appauld your efforts, it all hurts at first, huh. I was thinking that when I was on the eliptical trainer this morning, it was like moving 2 50lb log-legs that were tired and worn out already...then somehow that lifted and off I went. Now i am sitting in a lump of spent tiredness but feeling goooood.
It's a good day. I've got the ketosis trio happening inside me...I am burning fat, I have a suppressed appetite, and my cravings are gone! What a beautiful day!

Good afternoon STACers!

Pstansel - I'm sure it was tough for you both. You just don't want to admit being in that corner crying, lol.

So on my end of things, I have not heard back on the job - which means by this point that I probably didn't get it. But I will keep my eyes and ears open for the next opportunity to come a knocking. Maybe now just was not my time.

Anyway - two more days to the weekend!! I hope these two days go by fast!! I am ready to be out of here and Friday afternoon will start my vacation.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday, STACers!

Rachel, i will certainly keep you in my thoughts & prayers! I cannot even imagine the horrors you have been through since the hurricane ~ i wish i could give you a big hug!

Sarah ~ i'm sure that they'll keep you in mind for another position since you made it so far and the judge was so impressed with you! It'll happen soon... all in good time. Keep creating in your mind what you want your future to be... you've been doing such a great job at that!

I'm having a crappy day, but hanging in there. Today is one of those days when everything is going wrong... i mean everything. You know what i mean? Reminds me of that horrific song, "SO YOU HAD A BAD DAY..." ~ you know the one; it's been playing in every store, every radio station, and on every street corner for the past summer. Anyway, my friend and i despise this song, but we use it to express when we really do have a bad day, and then we add how are day is bad as new lyrics to the song... (which i confess that i don't even know what he is saying anyway, just the terribly annoying chorus that is emblazoned in my mind...) So here it goes for today...

(Sung to the tune of "So you had a bad day..." whatever the darn title is...)

"SO YOU HAD A BAD DAY...everything is going wrong... the baby didn't sleep all night so you didn't either... and you want to go to sleep but she's freaking still awake... and won't lay down for a nap and you want to crawl into a ball and die... and you didn't balance your checkbook and you had to borrow money from your mom and you are over 30 and that really sucks... and you're throwing a wedding shower for your best friend... and her mom screwed you over by not contributing to the present like she said she would so you're stuck with the bill on your own... la la la la la and you want to scream, SO YOU HAD A BAD DAY!!!"

Okay, so that was lame but it felt really good to get it out. So remember, folks, next time you have a bad day... you'll know what to do. Sing that song & make up your own lyrics. No need for it to rhyme... it'll make you feel better.

Jenna

How so not nice of her mother to stiff you on the gift!!!

Re: Wednesday check-in

I know! Who you tellin'!? I spoke with her about this two weeks ago... i said we were going to get her a gift certificate for her to have a really nice manicure & pedicure for the wedding, and she said that she would be willing to contribute to the gift, and that her other relatives might be interested as well. So i got the gift certificate (for a really nice spa - so it ended up being over a hundred dollars!!!) but that would have been okay if several people would be contributing, like i was under the impression they would be. When i called today to find out who to put on the card ~ she says that they were "all doing their own thing." So... now i am screwed. My mom to the rescue though, as always, and she is going in on it half with me. Bless her! So definitely more than i wanted to spend, but my friend is totally worth it and i am happy to be able to do this for her... on the other hand, i am pretty irritated at her mom for leading me to believe they were all contributing and then changing their minds at the last minute!!!

Lesson learned: Collect the money first when doing a group gift...

Re: Wednesday check-in

The gift thing has happened to my DH and I SOOO many times that I no longer buy anything unless the cash is in hand from the contributing members. That drives me crazy.

I am getting used to my routine of school and actually ATE MORE in the am to avoid the low sugar, tired headaches in the afternoon. Two days to get smart...

I also got up extra early to exercise today. WAHOO!
