Misty im keeping you and your dad in my good thoughts today

gab · 12-03-2012, 07:28 AM

Misty - I send you lots of patience! I know how tough it can be dealing with all those people and trying to get your dad the help he needs.
My sister-in-law made the cake. It is her goal to someday own a bake shop and do that on a full time basis. For now, she does it from out of her home.

Good Morning everyone- So much going on with everyone, we All need to take a few minutes for ourselves to unravel the stress. If you get a 5 minute break, sit down close your eyes, in a quiet room (or even your parked car) and breathe (deeply)---concentrate on the air filling your lungs. When you are done, gently stretch your upper body, then stand and finish that wonderful stretch.

Bikerchick · 12-03-2012, 03:09 PM

Flavia · 12-03-2012, 03:50 PM

Flavia · 12-03-2012, 03:52 PM

Laura, Flavia is the name of my address book and note book and stuff....its a series they have/had at staples or circuit city. I have always liked that name also

I got the Sunday paper, then started reading the Krazycoupon lady website. I am going to start small as I learn. this was my first try with the websites help. Now I am asking my friends that get the paper to save the coupons from there paper.

Flavia · 12-03-2012, 04:42 PM

I got the sunday paper also, but there are never that good of deals in there then what ppl are getting food/stuff for....like what u just did.....u can only use one coupon per.....so how do ppl get stuff for that cheap??????

Well-- My store has cereal buy 5 for 1.88 each-I have manufactur coupons for 1.00 off 2 and 50 cents off 1-- I also have double up coupons from that stores 3 day sale add..in the end the cereal is normally 2.88 a box, I got each box for .68 each.. pretty good I think.. It takes a bit of reading and using the sales, with the coupons. But stocking the pantry and saving cash is a win win to me

Flavia · 12-03-2012, 04:53 PM

oh heck ya, all the power to you woman

Texas Cowgirl · 12-03-2012, 06:25 PM

Very depressed today, but I managed to get to the healthcenter for Pilates, a bit of walking on the indoor track (too foggy that early in the morning) and then a water zumba class. Ought to count the two hours wandering around, fighting crowds at the megasupermarket here.

Laura, the Victoria Advocate has the article about John on thier website now. The accident was actually close to Driscoll. He was almost back home. What it didn't say was he had just recovered from a kidney transplant. Just 5 weeks ago and he had just recently been cleared to return to work. His sister-in-law was the living donor.

Wishing everyone better days!

gab · 12-04-2012, 02:05 PM

Hey all. Hope you are all doing well today. Not much new here. Busy day at work. Now home. Sam is tired cranky so hoping he will take nap soon. He has been a hungry little monster lately. Planning to get some Christmas decorating done this week. I also have to get the play for Sunday school kids organized.

Ttyl

Deb · 12-04-2012, 02:19 PM

No word on the offer.....yet

going to get the building decorations out so we can start to decorate the lobby

im trying to get into the xmas mood..BUT

this is my second year i wont see my son

one thing that helps is there are lots of tenants hanging around joking and laughing so we will have a nice xmas im sure

Flavia · 12-04-2012, 02:22 PM

Deb, I never see my son on Christmas......if at all then during the summer every maybe 2-3years or so......

Gab, usually they are eating up a storm right before a growth spurt.....

Boring kinda day today.....

Flavia · 12-04-2012, 02:25 PM

no motivation for nothing today :-/ its still in the 70's.....doing laundry made me break out in a sweat.....in dec.....loololololol

misty1028 · 12-04-2012, 04:43 PM

Lory I coupon all the time and after you really get into it you save alot. But I only cut or print coupons for things I want to try or that I use or you'll get so many it hard to keep track. And I keep them in a note book that has pockets and I Label the pockets.
Tks for the tip on destress exercise I did it at the hospital yesterday and it worked wonders.

Tex hang in there

Glad you made it to the gym, I'm sure it'll help with the stress your going through.

Had to work today, because some on my clients came back for Thanksgiving, but I like the extra cash for the holidays. Up 5 lbs with all the eating out I've been doing while I've been going to see my Dad. Yikes got to get it off fast. All the xmas parties are starting and that's where I messed up last year.

Christina you got to do what you said and do something just for you today. I've been doing it and it's really feeling good. Took a nice hike with the dog today.

Deb sounds like fun to decorate the lobby. Your tenants sound like they could be alot of fun. How far does your son live from you now? Maybe you could surprise him with a visit. I bet he'd like that.

Flavia · 12-05-2012, 07:45 AM

Morning all

I hope everybody is well today <3

Deb · 12-05-2012, 09:37 AM

Good morning

Misty my son is a 4 day drive away....and driving in winter in Canada is a bad idea....plus he is still a little mad at me....long story..but he is healthy and happy so....

Flavia......

then you understand..how is the modivation today?

back to decoration....its a workout seeing the building is so big
tree in the lobby..office got my entrance palm trees from my lobby and i decorated them....

now there is a tree for the hall and outside lights to go up still...will leave that to the L/B for sure.

Flavia · 12-05-2012, 10:32 AM

glad ur busy Deb. Being busy is good......keeps your mind off of things.....motivation today is a bit better.....TOM is heading for my house so that is probably why I am feeling yucky......this too shall pass. Its just another day and its just a feeling

I was feeling lucky today so I went out food shopping in a store that is close but has no public bathroom.....yay me!!!! Things are getting better

gab · 12-06-2012, 08:37 AM

So tired today. Was up from 4 to sometime after 5 with Sam and my sore tooth. Didn't feel like I had slept all that well before that.

I have a million things I should be doing, not a one that I want to do.

My take care of me thing for the day is to attend the work Christmas party. Let myself get some socializing in.
