Sat. is the city's annual Holiday (Christmas) Parade. I am one of the volunteers for staging; I have been doing this since 1991!
We line up the floats and other units in order block by block before the parade. This parade has 5 stages, or about 90 units, and bands and giant balloons feed in from other side streets. Stagers meet at 7 a.m. to get our assignments, clip boards, signs, walkie talkies, etc. then we go out and direct people, walk, stand (& sometimes run) until the parade starts at 10 a.m.
It's always a challenge to get people to their assigned spot when they know nothing about their unit or stage number. Sometimes the weather cooperates, sometimes it doesn't. This year is looking ok: lows around 27-28 and light snow overnight, only an inch or so. Not bad at all; rain is the worst, followed by wind. I always make sure my stage gets to the start in correct order, then wave at each unit & wish everyone a fun parade as they go off. Then it's walk back to our meeting spot at an inn for lunch with bloody Marys & beer chasers ~ it's tradition!
This year I want to track how many steps I take during staging, so if I can remember, I'll write down my current step count on Fitbit at the start and finish. I'd like to use MapMyWalk but would probably drain my phone battery. I'm taking the day off from logging food / exercise, since it would be a total guess, and I just don't want to bother!1 -

Ha! Hopefully they don't just SAY they have it like Walmart, and then you get there and there's an empty spot with a tag where it should be again! You'll have to find a THIRD store and then a FOURTH, and eventually they will all put your picture up in their employee breakrooms to warn their staff to watch out for the "Angry Spinach Lady"...
Good luck!
Well, see, Publix had it! There's this major road that has a lot of businesses on about a three-ish mile stretch, and there are like half a dozen grocery stores among them. Aldi has the best prices but limited selection, so we go there first, and then after that to Walmart, which has not quite as good prices but much better selection. Or at least it DID. Frozen spinach is a staple for me, and Aldi doesn't carry it at ALL, so when it went missing from the Walmart we usually go to at first I was like "no biggie, I still have some, I'm just getting a little low" so we didn't get it, and then the NEXT trip I was out, so when they didn't have it again, I really noticed. That's when we went to the OTHER Walmart (there's a Super and a Neighborhood within a mile of each other) and found out that they didn't have it either! So we made a fourth stop just so I could have my frozen spinach (my husband is wonderfully patient) and I decided I was going to figure things out.
Thus began the Mystery of the Missing Spinach!
The Mystery of the Missing Spinach has had me giggling for days! I've been following it closely, you know... Reading this latest chapter has me chuckling again! Having to go to more than one store to look for my staples irritates the heck out of me, so I felt your pain! I do the same thing with Aldi's and Woodman's. Get what I can at Aldi's and pick up the rest at Woodman's. If I can't find what I want at those two stores and I have to add a third? Oh my gosh, look out...Tornado Tracie's coming to town...
Oh....and no pressure, but now I'm watching to see when you WRITE A DOGGONE POST!
Have a GREAT day! xoxo3 -
@cschmitz110515 Have fun at the parade tomorrow! I've never been to it. I mean to every year and then never get my butt moving in time. So, this year I am going to try, try again! I was offered VIP tickets to sit in the bleachers but thought someone with little ones should use them. I'll have to look it up to see the route so I have some idea of where to go watch!
@Bex953172 You sure are kicking some butt! YOU GO GIRL!1 -

EDIT.
18 mins in to my 35 minute video Casey started screaming at the top of her lungs. She's not settled unless she's sat with me..
So now I've just got to sit until she falls asleep..
So a little naffed at that but she can't help it I guess. But now I'm too tired to do the plank and I'll probably only get 6 waters in now.
But overall still a good day!1 -
Hello all, busy here again! Smiley faces galore especially @Bex953172 smashing it with the exercise!

Wow I haven't even had time to log in here yet today. It's 4PM! I am ready for the show tomorrow, I am just logging in quickly and then heading out to do my shopping for the paint night and stock up on some other items at Michael's and the Dollar Store. I Haven't even had lunch yet and I'm starving!!!! This might not be good.
I miss you all, but please know you are on my mind. Wouldn't you know it, work got busy at the same time I got busy with my shows. Is it wrong that I hope that they don't change my end date on me now? Later ladies, I will try to say hi tomorrow, but if I fail I will for sure be back on Sunday!
P.S. - my little craft show last night that my hubby bet I wouldn't do anything at made almost $200. I had to drive home on terrible roads though. It was +5 and raining when I went in, when I came out 3 hours later it was -5 and had been snowing. Lots of ice. It was plus 10 on Wednesday and -14 this morning... very strange weather.

Had a successful paint night last night, got home a little earlier than expected which was a nice surprise. Was in bed by 10, read for a while then went to sleep. Woke up at 230 am abd couldn’t get back to sleep until close to 5. Up again at 730, now I’m going into my show for setup. Going to be a long day!
Looking so forward to tomorrow and relaxing a bit!

Well, I logged on last night to try to stay mindful and not give into my sweet tooth. FAIL. I went to bed and seriously my stomach was feeling sick, like I didn't eat enough yesterday (which was actually true), so I got up and ate 2 pieces of toast...one with half tablespoon of raspberrry jam on it. It was whole grain toast, so that wasn't bad and was still in the green. But THAT wasn't enough...oh no....not for me! I proceeded to eat 3 chocolate chip granola bars! Not one....not two...but THREE of them! WTH? So yeah....big fail.
Today I have my Advantages Response Cards written out (Beck's Diet Solution Day 1) to remind myself of why I want to lose weight and get healthy, and I've planted them all over the place and even set alarms on my phone to go off and remind me to read them throughout the day. Here goes nuthin'....
Husband got a nice 10-pointer this morning at deer camp, so that's awesome! We eat a lot of venison. This will allow us to have more ground into burger, and we won't have to buy hamburger all year. Lots of stew meat too. Happy, happy, happy! Just for the record...he is not a trophy hunter. We do eat all the venison. I was told by my oncologist it is one of the healthiest meats I can eat.
I was home alone with Maddie all night and she didn't want to go to bed because my husband wasn't home. She was waiting for him until about midnight. It's funny how quickly she has become accustomed to our "normals" around here. She cuddled with me a lot last night. I thought she would wake me up at 6:00 like she does every morning, so I didn't set an alarm. Figured I'd wake up plenty early to get everything done today that I wanted. But I actually ended up not waking up until 9:00 and had to wake HER up! LOL! Now I'm sipping coffee in my nice quiet house with Hallmark Christmas movies on. Getting ready to hop in the shower and head out to run some errands and then coming home to sew and bake for the holidays!
Have I mentioned I'm loving my quiet time alone? LOL!

Today I went shopping and I bought some jeans in a size smaller than I have EVER bought jeans (as an adult).
Now that's motivating! I have to stay in these jeans (and maybe get some even smaller ones.. )6 -

Thank-you my dear. Delilah Jade, born Thursday. Her new quilt is in my profile.PackerFanInGB wrote: »Glad to see you! Congratulations on the grandbaby!
Novel to follow, please don't feel you need to proceed if you don't want to read.
I've just recently realized I've been angry with hubby, and depressed. A few months ago I decided to try to stop working. Well, hubby informs me that we can't afford for me to stop working and I've been really concerned not just about money but about whether I can continue to function. In the last 2 months I've fallen twice going up the stairs. I didn't break anything but my doctor and my chiropractor are not impressed. Talking with him didn't change anything and so I've decided to stop sucking up my pain and abilities to not do things because I usually just try and ignore it and work through it. Now I've been being out in the open about things, getting him to lift and carry, and putting my medication right out in the open and letting him see how much I'm taking ( it's not too much, it's just nothing I ever let him be super aware of). Maybe he's noticing now?
The downfall of all that is that I'm noticing more of what I can't do and was just struggling through before. So if he's aware great, but I'm not a fan of being aware of my own fragility and inabilities. I knew they were there before but to display them to the public so to speak makes them too real.
Anyways, that's the gist of how things are going around here. No need to get all glum and worried about me. I'm fine, just having some realizations and not liking them. I hope everybody else is doing okay. I won't go in back and read the hundred zillion posts, I'm just going to move forward from here. Love you all.3 -
Hello! Happy weekend! I hope everyone is well!
@mytime6630 I hope you kept that ice cream in the freezer where it belongs!
@PackerFanInGB I'm so glad that you are enjoying your quiet time! I don't often get it anymore because the DH isn't working at the moment but boy do I cherish when I get it! Enjoy it while it lasts!
@Bex953172 You are killing it, my dear! I hope that Casey is feeling better this afternoon.
@AJB1014 You are doing great! I saw all those smiles! Be proud of yourself love!
@Snowflake1968 I hope you are killing it at the show today! Keep us informed.
@Faebert I hope you are enjoying your kid-free weekend!
@bcTRAI Delilah is downright edible she's so cute! Good to see you back!2 -
Today has been good so far. I did a lot of cleaning earlier and moved a couch out of our living room to prepare for a new one that my Dad is helping us transport in about an hour. We're pretty excited. Our last one finally bit the dust. Just not comfortable anymore and a tad bit misshapen.
While Matt and Dad are doing that I am going to be over D's house to hang out and organize. Maybe eat a slice of pizza or two...not the best dinner because we had pizza for dinner last night but it's what she's got. Lol. I'll log it accordingly. It's awesome to see all of the NSV that are happening around this board the last week. Gives me a lot of hope that we can actually get ahold of this whole weightloss things and make it our b!tch. Lol. It's already after 3 today so I think I will do only a brief list of goals for the rest of the day. So here we go!

@PackerFanInGB Quiet time? What's that again?
@bcTRAI Delilah is such a beautiful name! And shes just adorable! I'm loving the quilt too!
I envy everyone's quilting abilities!
@slittlemeister well done on the new clothes!
I have some things stashed away in my drawer.
I have a crop top that I bought over 5 years ago that I've NEVER worn LOL, I bought it because I couldn't simply pass on it, it's such a lovely top! I can just about squeeze into it but I need my OH to get me out of it!
And everything else bulges out around it lol its hilarious.
It'll be great to be able to wear it (hopefully next summer!)

I'm so tempted just to set fire to all the laundry. Then I don't have to do it.

The clothes are never ending!
I'm amazed that everyone still has clothes in their drawers!

@bcTRAI I'm sending you the biggest cyber hugs that I can muster up. I hope you can feel them. It's very difficult to acknowledge things like that in ourselves...I'm still trying to find my "new normal" as they call it. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do... Love to you. xoxo1
