Good morning folks, hope your having a good day and are looking forward to the weekend approaching, yup, it's hump day just slide on down to the weekend. It's a rainy cool day here, no need to go out so exercise is inside today and it is resistance training day as well, so lots to do not to mention domestic engineering. I would like to share a ytube video for women for flabby arms - they look pretty simple to do and you do not need to spend hours doing them. There are other exercises afterwards, I just skip the adds in the beginning.

@Dianedoessmiles1 yes on the congregation bible study and review - oh my it was so good! And before that the local needs, oh wow too. I bought some chicken to do an alfredo sauce with so far I like the first jar I bought but have 2 more jars to try, they are Classico and I am not really a fan of classico so maybe they have improved their products. Since Gene brought home a whole chicken, I put my other chicken in teh freezer for another time. I can use his maybe this weekend. There's some more broccoli to use up but this time I won't put as much. Today is poorman's beef stirfry - have to use up some coleslaw and beef so that will work, also have some more mushrooms for it too.
@Tabatha_Cain sounds like your really looking forward to this part time job, and since it is part time, you can always leave if it is not to your liking. Have a great day today !!
well some want blue skies, me tooo ....
That will do it !!!

@Tabatha_Cain ,, I am pretty sure I've told you I had worked at the grocery store. I started as a bagger, went to cashier and then shift lead, to the closing shift lead. I LOVED IT so much, the money was more than I had made by quite a bit for the city of Portland. They knew I was good, and they paid accordingly, but having the accounting background i knew how to make the front end closing budget the BEST!! Corporate kept wondering why one of the smallest stores was meeting budget and exceeding it. They sent in their wives (and some of the CEO's)to find out why. EASY!! I quickly who wanted to work when. If you were calling to say you'll work on a Friday evening, Oh I'd GRAB that in a SECOND!! First it makes YOU happy and hey teens LOVE a sudden Friday night off if the party is worth it (and better than the one on Saturday if that was in the works) so they'd work better for me too. I just simply knew the people under me, and went with that. You are the type of worker I LOVED to have. Appropriate compliments helped me that much more. Appreciating those under me, letting them know they worked that much harder also. It was a WIN/WIN!! I am sure you'll do great, have FUN with it!! It's so much easier then the office politics.
@Patti241,,, Sometimes I think it'd be fun to be unplugged for a little bit!! SMART letting yourself relax and just enjoy.
@Cormierannie,, you have such a great heart!!! Can we clone you? Sometimes I hop onto Youtube or facebook to watch the videos of people being nice to others. We hear so much negativity it's just a nice break.
@Lindiemaep ,,, Hehehhehehe
Linda it was very good. YO next weeks,, LOL next weeks reading. Yet it's interesting to look into, I do pity who ever has the reading though!! ENJOY the dinner and food. I'm having the rest of the chicken nuggets I made last night. OH WOW ARE THEY SUPER GOOD!! I had marinated them in a honey-mustard, BBQ, a bit of teriyaki sauce, garlic paste, with onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Dipped them in an egg wash (YO HAVE YOU ALL SEEN THE COST OF EGGS???? Today I paid for a DOZEN OF THE STORE BRAND 6.19!!! HUH??? They said on the news they'll be $10 soon!! I WILL NOT BUY them at that!) and a flour mix. OH TO DIE FOR!!

I don't post here often, but with the timing of eggs being brought up... A friend of mine did pay $9 for a dozen regular eggs this weekend and one was broken - she said she was desperate. Today she posted the link to an article on egg replacements. They are not all created equal and some are better suited for specific baked goods than others, but it might be worth a try if eggs are out of budget or out of stock (my store is having trouble keeping them in stock in spite of the high prices!)

All creatures great and small - crows can be fastenating creatures, but don't go near their nest when they got lil ones, they will attack you - it's how they were designed by our Creator.
@Dianedoessmiles1 already watched the introduction to and read the chapters. I sometimes listen to it for annunciation of names, after all it's our Savior's geneology we are reading!! So it is important !! Hope you enjoyed your chicken, I have to go make that food but tomorrow no room in the fridge from all the other food I made, gotta eat that first. Good thing my fridge is good and cold - a lil too cold near the back so we are careful not to put anything back near the wall that can cause freezing - like EGGS - Gene pickes up the eggs, he can decide what he will pay, I do the egg whites and that has gone up in price but Costco has the best price so far. That could change.
I went and got my glasses arms around the ear adjusted as they kept slipping, so far they are staying in place - I also has 11 letters to mail too.
Have a nice evening everyone !! Slidin' on down to the weekend !!

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a day of sleep and work. I hate sleeping till noon. Nothing gets done but needed the sleep. Maybe tomorrow will be more active as I can go to bed earlier than the last couple of nights. Work went well for the most part. By the time I got home Hubby was in a normal mood. Talk about a 180.0 -
@DNjoys ,, Dee really nice to see you here. Today I paid $6.19 for 12 dozen of eggs I was floored. We are being told they will be $10 soon. I did exactly what you just did so I'm kind of giggling over here I did Google how to bake without eggs and it does very very greatly on what it is you are making. But it's also doable I'm probably going to go that route soon. There are time that I eat egg but not that many so I really won't miss them. I'm sure other items will also start to go up ridiculously high then we'll have to make our choices. I can afford the egg but I don't want to I just don't want to.
@Kurtize,, The road has many twists and turns, some dips and bumps. Some places we wish we never went, but some very gorgeous places we've seen that just depend on what we choose to dwell on.
@Lindiemaep,,, pictures really pretty look at that deep blue sky and a cross the Ravens. Very nicely done. I did watch the introduction and I'm now going to the reading slowly and doing some research on part of it but not all of it cuz it's just way too much. My chicken was awesome It was so good! I will absolutely make it again. I hope your glasses work for you and that you adjustment. Is done. I still have to go like every 6 months to have mine done because I'm better for him. But they're so cute I don't mind. It does help that I can drive there I get there and come right back home If I had to take a bus it would be two busted and take me at least 3 hours. No thank you. This way I'm home in an hour. Those bears are so adorable look at the fun they have That's what we should each find something that we enjoy everyday no matter how big or small.
@Cseguin2,,, Good evening! Whenn the body says sleep and demands that we don't have a choice. I hope tomorrow you're able to have some me time. Glad that hubby is in a better state of mind. Sleep well.2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Today is going to be a good day. I work both jobs. One from 8 to 5 and the other from 530 to 10. We will see how things go. I hope I like it. It is my new second job and I am nervous. I think I will be fine. I mean after all it is only fast food. It cannot be that hard. Just be nice to the customer and that is all. I will probably be doing a lot of videos today too.
@LindieMaeP - Thank you for that video. I need it. My underarm flab is horrible. That is true. If I don't like the job I can just quit. I probably won't. I need the job and I will probably work until the wedding and then quit
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes it is easier than the office politics. I am glad too. Hopefully this job will be good. Who knows.
Well it is time to get ready for some food. I hope you all have a great day.

@Tabatha_Cain,,, IT'll be a longggg day that's for sure!! Likely tonight you'll sleep amazing!! LOL Office politics is always interesting especially if someone throws a monkey into the wrench!! OH MY!! Seems MOST offices (Larger ones) ALWAYS have that "ONE" person. I am sure the fast food will go fine, it may be a little confusing at first if you've not done that type of work. But, you'll be fine, you are a smart cookie. HAVE FUN at both jobs. Looking forward to hearing your experience. I've worked retail and at that ONLY for the grocery store chain I had worked at (I saw HR the other day and was informed "if you feel better we'll take you back without an interview!" Awww Awwww Awwww!), I've not done fast food. Customers 99% are very good, it's that small 1% and at that it's always my goal to take them from a 10 down to a 1, to get them to say "THANK YOU" but the drunk ones? Well yeah most of them I can get to giggling even when not serving them booze. That was a simple "You seem like such a nice person, I see you bought spaghetti. What type of sauce are you using? " As I'd tuck their booze under the counter. Of course they'd notice "HEY!! MY BEER!" "Oh yes though beer can easily go with spaghetti, we care to much about you so tonight I'll not sell this to you, but you come back in tomorrow, we'll very likely happily serve you." and continue to ask another question. LOL This works very often.3

Good morning everyone.3

@HI Patti!! Hey its snowing at the "moment" But though we've been in the 30's ALL WEEK with this storm in the 40's and tomorrow in the 50s!! AARRGGHHH!!! So tomorrow rain. Hope you are enjoying the day.3

Good afternoon everyone, it's a dreary wet world out there today but I am in side nice and toasty and warm - maybe a little too warm and my window in my room is wide open and I feel the breeeze LOL The oven has been fixed so I am back in business - I was going to put a foil cover for the bottom of the oven, but it's too big and I do not want to cut foil, it could hurt someone. The repair man said I could use it as long as it does not raise the coil to high or touch the coil - well - I tried folding it down but the corners... raise it up ... I'll figure out something at some point, I might just say forget it .. Now I am relaxing for a bit.
@Dianedoessmiles1 our eggs were not that expensive, Gene got a flat from Walmart and then we separate and date them. I just boiled 10 for him as he likes to have a boiled egg or two with his dinner. So they are cooling off and will go into the fridge. I wound up making the poorman's stirfry last night and Gene took some to work. So that leaves me 3 for meals - but I have lots made. This weekend I want to make some Alfredo with the thin noodle and chicken and maybe a small amount of broccoli but not as much as I did with the other. I used to work in Woolworths way back when and I remember once this drunk came in to buy listerine to drink, I told him I was not selling him that and he whipped the bottle at my head, I ducked and presssed the buzzer for assistance and he left the store. Glad I do not work there anymore ... I've also worked at KF turned out the manager was stealing from the company and it got closed down. Once someone dropped a tray of chicken and he made the employee pick it up and put it for sale - once also someone returned their chicken saying it was not cooked and he put it back for sale too. Ahh glad I no longer work there, OR buy there, lots of things that go on in fast food places AND once my girls were at an expensive restaurant, and the B cake came out with a cockroach on it !!! Fancy that eh !! LOL wasn't my cake was not there. So glad to be retired !!!
@Tabatha_Cain I am sure you will do well, and you will make your mark there long enough for your purpose. Your welcome, I need to do that video too !! I am doing resistance training every other day for about 1/2 hour - I have one lbs weights I am using too. Sometimes I walk around with them in my hands too.
@everyone have a wonderful day today and enjoy your Thursday !! Guess what it's almost !!!???!!!

I have no comments about eggs, so I can't egg you all on. Hearing about the prices is eggasperating. As you read this, you'll probably be saying, "She is too tired tonight." And, I am. Took down Christmas decorations at the house today. Then made spaghetti for everyone for dinner. Was a good evening together but I am through for the day.
Greetings to everyone and sending good wishes to all of you.
Word for tomorrow is STRENGTH.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another off day. The weather just is not encouraging me to get up and move before it's time to go to work. 3 more shifts. There was a lot of tension in the dining room tonight between residents. I don't know what's going on with them tonight. My friend showed up around 5:30 and helped us so we were out by 6pm. Hung at her house for a bit. She was kind enough to do some laundry for me as I was running out of uniforms and haven't gotten them done. There was no leftovers from work for dinner as we had a full house. So we ordered Wendy's on Hubbies request.1 -
@Cormierannie ,, Sounds like a fun active day. Glad you can do that.
@Lindiemaep ,,, ENJOY the eggs!! They say it was the bird flu, but if that was REALLY it ,, this would of happened a bit ago, when it was at it's worse. Eggs do not keep. Any excuse to squeeze people more. LOL I saw on the News something about a candy store "having to raise it's prices" my thought was "Candy is a luxury, many just won't buy it." then I SMILED because years ago those words NEVER would come out my lips!! OH MANY it's best NOT to know what goes on behind MANY places that deal with the consumer!! Fast food, retail, manufactures, and SO ON!! Ewww!
@Cseguin2 ,, Hopefully the sun will be soon for you. I have 2 friends who live in Northern CA,,, today they saw the sun for the first time in one of them said 20 days. Tomorrow another storm coming in. I hope the residents are okay on Friday and it's the normal or better when you are there. Most look forward to food a lot. Hope it goes well over the next 3 weeks.

@NovemberGail - eggtually you did quite well in bringing the "egg" to the for !! Well done or is the wegg done ?? Rest well my friend and be refereshed for tomorrow.
@Dianedoessmiles1 any excuse these days to raise prices, it's all greed - I remember when you could buy a rotissieri chicken - whole one for 4.99 at Safway then the bird flue hit and that was about 10 years ago so this is not new with the chicken industry - no doubt over crowding etc, which is why I try to buy organic free range when I can - look at @KatieCondy1's chickens when they lay I bet they are marvelous eggs!! Cause they got a bit of freedom and not caged. Anyway I read Isaiah30 - then did some research along the way, very interesting indeed. GEne will be home soon so I gotta go get the dishes done AGAIN...well at least the stove is fixed and I can cook if I want. The flooding in CA is sad indeed, but we have had that in our area too and expect it again. That one picture i posted of mountains around the first week of Januay, I was actually standing on a dike!!
@Cseguin2 I would think the weather might be affecting the residents as well and maybe a little more. Oh how I do not miss those grey skies and cold and nasty weather, course then I moved to BC and did nothing but rain the first few years I was here, lol I thought, I can't win !! But eventually I got used to it. Hope you enjoyed your Wendy's - I like their chili !3 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is Friday. One more day working both jobs. Saturday we are staying home and not really doing anything. Joe works Saturday and I am going to my Mom's to work on the men's flowers. We have to figure something out. I am excited. I really am. I want to get it all done. I am excited to get married. I am super tired from last night. I was on my feet the whole night and I am tired. I am hoping that doesn't keep happening.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It was pretty good last night. I am definitely tired. I drink lots of water at work so all night long I was getting up to go to the bathroom. Fast food is not all bad. I am learning quick.
@LindieMaeP - I need to do something. I have bad underarm flab.
@NovemberGail - Way to go on getting the Christmas Decorations down.
@CSEGUIN2 - Sounds like you have a lot going on. I hope you have a good last couple of days
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a great day
