OH dear... another day has gone by and I did NOT meet the daily goals I had set... What is WRONG with me these days!?? The written plan of eating went OK... tweaked a little but not a lot - it's the water I am all of a sudden struggling with! Just don't feel thirsty!! I will try - try again - today!
Work day was difficult - had to once again "admit" to Crystal & Amanda that I need help with the ATM Settlement... this is getting OLD! I have never had something that I have done for 2+ years and continued to "Struggle"... the good news is - Amanda is baffled too! Makes me feel better - I mean SHE is the one that CREATED the darned spreadsheet... but DAMN I am sick of this process! The bad news is it will get 5 times WORSE when we bring 5 more ITM units on line - all of which have to be added to MY Spreadsheet - which is supposed to be sometime this year!!
Trust me this is not making 4 years and 9 months look all that "Close" any more!!
Anyway - turning it over to them, just set the tone for my day - just felt "down" and disappointed in myself all day! SO today I go in and ask if I can sit with Amanda as she pulls it apart and digs into it to figure out WTH is wrong! AS much as I don;t want to spend the day with her - I'd rather not just sit at my desk waiting for her to tell me what she finds - I'd rather know HOW she finds it!
Whatever - I need a new attitude for today!!
Now - let me refill my coffee and catch up! ♥

Good Morning ~ Hooray for FRIDAY! Spent a little time this morning looking at a Lake House the Girls are going this weekend - not in Erie but at a little Lake community 3 hours away. One of our neighbor's family owns it and each summer the Neighborhood 'kids' are invited. For once, all schedules are clear and this year ALL the girls can go (6 of them about the same age) - Carly and Taylor (girl) are the oldest, Abbie and Logan (girl) are 21, and Linds & Maddy are 20. I am so jealous! lol They'll have a blast! I did well with my Water yesterday! Drank all 6 bottles I had at work, plus a few sparkling waters. While at home I usually drink 4 large, 22 oz cups of water especially when taking Vitamin supplements and Aleve. All good there... A few weeks ago DL announced an All Staff picnic for today. Again, probably trying to use up the leftover hot dogs and burgers from June's Field Day to make room in the freezer for School Lunch programs....lol But I will bring cut up watermelon and enjoy the company of others.

Sue: Yummmmm... sweet corn... I must get more this weekend! Cooking it in the IP was a good way to have it - and not as much mess of husking! LOL WOW Busy night on the phone/computer for you huh!?!
Lisa: Whew - sounds like your project just got a little more in depth... glad you found those binders before you were done!
Hair sounds nice - honey blonde... I do "all over" now - or rather "touch up" (all over) I can't deal with highlights/lowlights... too much time and energy there! LOL I am sort of minimal upkeep kinda gal! Hope you like it for the wedding.
OH I thought Greg needed a suit for Kim's wedding! OK Then I guess you have time to find one before October! So he must be renting one for this wedding... makes sense - Father of the Bride and all!
Oh dear... I can see why being a shuttle driver would be hard on the back... hopefully he can figure it out... being in pain is not easy!!
Gabrielle: OH SO JEALOUS! LOL I LOVED walking around SF when we were there - all the walking - the hills, the beautiful houses... and of course any fire station we could find within walking distance! LOL OH have fun!!
Funny - seeing my memories on FB this week - three years ago we were in Tahoe... feeling like it's time to go back! LOL Would LOVE a family reunion in "wine country"... might have to see if the CA folks want to start thinking again!
LOL Having no carbs with dinner was different! Grew up having potatoes with every dinner.... anyway, I went to bed feeling pretty good... compared to the other 2 nights this week of having carbs and feeling STUFFED! I didn't "overeat" but still felt "Stuffed"! Must be those darned carbs! NOW to get myself off them as much as possible! LOL Yeah - not like I haven't tried that before!!
Will you do furniture shopping at home and move it up to OR? Or will you head up and go shopping closer to the apartment??
I am still thinking of switching to DISH - BUT my sisters have DISH and have lost some of their networks this past week too! All seem to be owned by the one company "Nexstar" and they apparently want to charge more for what we see... so no matter which company we choose - it's a crap shoot!
This house won't work out for our Tracy! Apparently the realtor thinks it will go for asking price or above and it is already priced higher than Tracy had been approved for... so we won't even go see it. Someday - the right place will come along at the right time.
Hope your day went well - and the board meeting didn;t go too late into the evening.
So you are off today?? Just for fun?? How much work-work will you get done from home?? LOL
Enjoy your long run and the rest of the day to ready yourself for the trip tomorrow!!
Sue: NICE! Huge savings there for 5 beach towels! GOod for you - being so organized and able to throw them together! Are they all the "same"? Or did you take the time to make each one about each boy??
Oh dear - so sorry Sue... sounds like Sherry has a lot going on at home right now {{{hugs}}}Not surprised you were able to pitch in and DO IT for her... will she be in today??
I was thrilled that even my arm didn't hurt - until I used it! Guess I should read the paperwork that came with it - to see if it gives instructions on how to sign up for the 2nd shot!
So far so good with Google Fi! LOL When our kids were in school - we only had DIAL UP! THAT was real fun - trust me!!
Yup, when I called to cancel my AT&T they offered me a change/discount - but I told her right up - nope, already changed - as a loyal customer for 20+ years, I should not have to BEG for a discount!!

Did a little shopping yesterday immediately after work - hit the Clearance sales for Summer clothes. Since our Septembers/October have been brutally HOT these last few years I figure I'll get good use out of some outfits. I have actually been liking Dresses lately! I have never never found comfortable dresses that I look good in - but if I find just the right material and v-neck, with the right 'cut' I like them. Been finding most for under $20 each lol Also have been wearing skorts to work - I have a solid black, solid navy blue, and just picked up a denim one to wear on Fun Fridays versus jeans.
Found a pair of dress shoes at Marshalls - bit of a heel but if the heel is thick I actually wear them better then flats. Flats cause me issues with my arch - these are open toe but dark tan suede which I think will work for Fall. All my work shoes are worn out so time to slowly replace them....
Shelly - so glad DH came in to help but seriously? Ya coulda done without his drama and accusations as if you were hiding from the kids!!! geesh, seriously? I get why you need to keep working to save Vacation time to travel later to see the kids - but in meantime, I bet you are just loving having Baby Hank around!! How is Lezil? I know you don't have much time to just sit and get to know her a bit - hope everyone is doing well!
Sue - great idea on the Beach towels! So clever...and the Boys will love them. Hope this weekend you can just wind down a bit after such a busy Month!!
Carole - how's the Pool? Our evenings are HOT here - we start out cool but by 3:00 the Heat is on! Too hot most evenings to walk the pup here but it's been so nice to sit out most evenings. I noticed it's starting to get dark earlier again...How are you doing with your evening journal? Hope it helps you just to sit and think about your goals and see how you are doing.
Gabrielle - a tour of restaurants in SF would be so fun!!! Enjoy!!! Tomorrow DSIL and I volunteer at our Elk's Lodge' Jamboree. It's their number one Fundraiser for Home Services (provides in-home nursing care to chronic illness children). We were laughing and saying watch we get assigned to Port-a-Potty duty! lol Naw, we'll make it fun where ever we get assigned then will enjoy the Bingo, drawings, live bands, and picnic fun!
Lisa - sounds like the color of your hair may be perfect - hope you figured out just how to duplicate the style- I am terrible at that! - I was just thinking I also need a touch up on roots but with Shingles it would hurt way too much! So I'm waiting one more week and praying everyone doesn't look too close at my incoming grays! lol
Okay - gotta make sure I have everything I need for this day - enjoy your Friday everyone!

Morning Carole, Christine and all to come...
TGIF....will need to touch base with Sherry first thing to make sure I didn't screw anything up...it seemed to go smoothly but you never know!
Tonight we are heading to Dutch Apple with friends to see "Annie"...lots of healthy choices on the menu so should do fine! Will plan to order a salad at lunch so I'm not super full when I get to DA.
Will likely be MIA tonight so will catch up in the morning...I know Jason will be working....he's been super busy this week too and today promises to be the same and he MUST leave by 4:30 pm at the latest so we can leave our house by 5:00!
See you all in the morning!

Good morning! I am on the run...want to get in on time and busy working so hopefully I can finish up the project today! Also have visitation for the 58 year old who died 2 days after uncle's visitation. But we ordered Greg's camo vest yesterday at Seno's for Kim's wedding. DH still having a lot of side/back pain. Dr yesterday ordered back xrays but it's probably muscular.
Got some fresh peaches, having one of them quickly along with coffee.
Waving...try to check in later.
