Do it for yourself and your loved ones......

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I'm asking you to make that call to your doctor and get your mammogram done! I know its not October yet, but it will be here in a few days. This past summer I received news that someone I have know for quite a few years had a double mastectomy, she waited to long to go to the doctor and she is in her late 40's with 3 children. (and she works in the emergency room at the hospital) Her mother in law also had one two years ago, but never went to the doctor for regular check ups. He husband also died of cancer.

Now I recently was told about someone else I have known for 20 years has cancer. It is such a terrible disease.

So please just take a moment make that call, get your mammogram, get a checkup and also make your loved one go to. Life is just to short, you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Lots of love to all and have a super week.

Such a nice warm beautiful day....

Yep we set a record temp today, it reached 90! That is a pretty warm day for fall. No need to worry the temps are dropping big time this week.

I had another busy week, I was on vacation and actually did some me things. Went shopping, hung out with dh, went to the Ren Festival and visited an old friend.

But I must get back on track with my weight watchers, I had a horrible weekend of eating. Not junk food mind you I'm talking just regular food. I have not cooked since Thursday. Yep I said Thursday. On Friday dh took me to Subway for lunch, for dinner I took a friend to Olive Garden. Saturday we ate at the Ren Festival and when we got home no one wanted to cook so off to Micky D's. Oh yeah then there is Sunday I had a can of soup for lunch and then Jayne bought the house rib dinners. Thank goodnees dh cooked a nice low calorie dinner today.

Well off to check the TV schedule, need to see what time all my new shows start.
Have a super week.

Well well where have I been?

First it has been so crazy at work, busy busy busy. And now the Christmas (yep I said Christmas) season is creeping up on us and I'll be running around like crazy at work and home to get everything done.

This past week was a bit stressful, I planned, I hid, I cooked and threw my sister a 50th birthday party. It was a great success, she was totally surprised. Do you all know how hard it is throwing a surprise party for someone you live with. UGH...but I'm glad it is all over. Hehehehe I put 50 pink flamingo's in our front yard with balloons.

This week I'm on a well deserved vacation, just hanging at home doing some me things and just enjoying the time off.

I'm liking the cooler temps, the smell of fall and the crispness is the air. I really like fall.

We are expecting a new family memeber, my niece Brandy is pregnant. She has her first ultrasound soon, she don't want to know the sex of the baby, but her dh, mom and everyone else does. I don't think I would want to know. I like surprises. How do you feel? Would you want to know?

Well enough rambling from me. Off to do something creative.
Have a super week.

Remembering

Take a few moments today and say a prayer for the 9/11 families. They have been suffering so much the last six years.

I clearly remember where I was. I was working in our Burton store when the radio started announcing all the news. One of the girls ran home quickly and brought in a small TV so we could see what was happening. I was so sadden by what I was seeing, it gave me chills. I could never imagine being in such a disaster.
Today just brings tears. Lots of THANKS to all the police and firemen we have in this world.
Off for now, have a great day/night.

It is almost the weekend

Not that I'm looking forward to the weekend, I have to work the entire weekend. But then I took Monday and Tuesday off. I hope the the weather still stays nice for a few more weeks, but the humidity can drop anytime now.

This has been a rough, crappy depressing work week. Sales have been down, having to terminate girls for stupid reasons (duh do you know you can not smoke pot out your backroom door) Pleeease you can not smoke pot anywhere.
This girl is quite poor, (but not poor enough to buy pot) lives paycheck to paycheck, has a child, does not have very nice clothes, no one to help her and we give her a job and she blows it. STUPID.
And because all of the slow sales and stupid things some of my girls did, I missed my trip. Yep it is the first time in 9 years that I will not be on the company trip. Instead I will be working. UGH. But life goes on.
And since I went to help out another district I can not seem to get caught up and have to bring work home every night for about a week to get where I should be.
On another note....
Still thinking about a birthday present for Jayne. What do you get someone who has everything she wants, and is the hardest person to buy for. HELP!
I just don't want to buy a bunch of over the hill items that will just sit around the house, I like to buy what people like or need.
Enough rambling from me....off to do some work

Labor Day

Hummm what is your meaning of Labor Day? (Yes I actually know the meaning) But I have my own thoughts today. Today Labor Day means doing nothing that involves Labor LOL. So I'm just going to enjoy this day by sitting in the backyard reading, maybe toss something on the grill and just chill.
I do not plan on leaving the house today. I love those days where you do not have to go anywhere.
On another note....Lucky has been so sad since Barq's went camping, he is so lost. I told DH I think he is sick, but then we got his ball out and he enjoyed it for a bit. He loves his ball. But while in the house he looks so sad. He misses his buddy.
Also I need to get my thinking cap on. You all know I have a sister, well she turns the BIG 50 on the 17th. So I have to do something wild and crazy, and if you all have any ideas you can email them to me. I'm sure she peeks at my blog, so they can not be posted here.
Darn the summer is ending but fall is just around the corner. Love summer but I hate when it is so darn hot, that you sit your but in the ac, but I love the smells and the crispness of fall.
Enough gabbing from me - hope everyone has a great Labor Day and be safe.

It is the weekend!

This weekend I will be just hanging at home and doing a few errands, some shopping and a few fun things. I probably won't get know scrapping done since DH and I don't spend much time off together. I'm not bummed but just need to have some things to do so we are not just not sitting around. When I have a holiday weekend off I usually do not scrap unless it is a rainy one.

We need to close the pool, we probably will get rid of it next year. We just don't use it enough since we are older. The nieces and nephews all used it but now some moved farther away and of course they are getting older and doing their own thing.

After a tiring few days, today is a nice happy day, no aches or pains and the weather is perfect. Man I feel good today don't know why I just feel happy.
Could it be the weather? Haven't seen a ton of really bad news lately? Work is moving along? Well I'll just be happy and leave it at that!!

I hope everyone has a super day and enjoy the weekend.
