Good morning!
Hope your week is going well. Plugging along here. Another mix of snow showers hitting here today but shouldn't be a big issue it seems. Traffic was kind today.
Meeting planning is going well. Minor edits to sleeping rooms and transports. Nothing crazy.
Seems like a few people are working remotely today because it definitely is quiet for a Tuesday!
Not much else going on here. Hope you have a good day and stay safe if it is bad weather. YUCK! LOL0 -
Where did the days go?! I had a great weekend. I did my nails, went grocery shopping, did laundry, made my bed... all the things! I figured I needed all the help I could get for this week. First full 5 day week since early December! AND a full moon! 😳🌕 Crazy times.
@Meghan509 I love that you got to stay in for a while! The weather has just been gross and grey and blah this week. Next week is supposed to warm up and get sunny... finally! Enjoy your Florida sunshine! We don't have Apple TV, but I have heard good things about that movie. Oh, and I think I found all the crazy drivers today. 🫤
Enjoy the rest of the week! Stay warm and safe and healthy!0 -
Good morning!
Your weekend sounds fabulous @KateNkognito! I really want to do my nails before my trip next week - I feel it makes me seem a little more professional. LOL
Awesome, do keep your eye out for that movie. Even if you don't have Apple TV, it will move to the other platforms in time. It was LONG - like over three hours long. We watched and kept pausing to make dinner and stuff. LOL
Spoke to my Mom yesterday. She is very excited that I am going to be coming to see her. After my work meeting wraps on Thursday at lunch time in Miami I will head out and grab a rental car and drive up to West Palm Beach, FL and check in to an AirBnB near my Mom's Assisted Living facility. Will take her out for dinner and stuff. Looking forward to it. She said can't wait to introduce me to all of her neighbors. LOL Old Folks.
Hope today is a good one. So far so good here. We will be getting RAIN and more RAIN for the next few days but I am okay with it. Wash away all the snow and ice and start fresh!
Have a good one and see you soon.0 -
@Meghan509 I used sparkly press on nails and all my middle school girls are impressed! LOL I will switch to a French tip for next week, but I needed sparkle in my life to get through this week. TWENTY students were suspended yesterday. Two big fights and other shenanigans. Have a great time visiting with your mom!
In weight loss news: I have hit a plateau lately so I have started logging again to see if I am just over doing it in my eating window or if my body is just doing its thing. TMI alert: I skipped my period for the first time (not pregnancy related) in 35 years. So maybe wonky hormones are at play, too.
Off to do the stuff and things and go to bed early.

Good morning!
Ooh I love the sparkly press on nails @KateNkognito! French Tips are gorgeous too! I NEED to try those sometime! Maybe not next week when I'll be traveling but soon, definitely. So pretty. The nails these days are not the old Lee Press On nails I used as a teenager! Much better quality.
I remember my old boyfriend's sister doing my nails with press ons for prom! Yep, I am that old. LOL
Sorry to hear about the big fight and the suspensions. Not good.
Okay so in more TMI news. I am 51 years old and my OB GYN said it was time to get off BCPs and see if I am in menopause, so I stopped taking the pill in October. And that was the last time I had a period?! THREE MONTHS with nothing. I also did blood work after stopping the pill and it did confirm that I am slowly entering menopause. Based on my calculations, I should "have it" this week. Nope, nothing, nadda. Just some headaches here and there but that's it! Understand we have to go a FULL YEAR with no period to say that we are in menopause and everything is "done". I have not had any other symptoms like hot flashes or anything. Probably will give my OB GYN a call when I am back from travel to let her know three months and to see if she wants to see me or anything. I saw a funny blogger I follow on Instagram who is in her mid to late 50's and she said "Estrogen has left the building"! LOLOL
Work is going well. In the office today and it was raining like heck on the way in but the sun is now poking out and it is close to 50 degrees. Who knew! Got all of my boxes shipped down to FL yesterday and everything is going pretty smoothly all in all, no complaints. Sunday afternoon I am heading out.
Hope you have a good day! See you soon!0 -
@Meghan509 Woo hoo for menopause! Some freak out about it, but I am looking forward to it! 😊 Safe travels! And smooth sailing!
Off to bed. I got all my grades done and in. Some people will be begging for mercy tomorrow. LOL!

Good morning!
Yes, I agree with you about menopause @KateNkognito I am okay with it!
Thank you for the kind words! Hoping all goes well next week. I will be checking in especially during the day when I get a little bored. LOL
Feeling ready for travel. Going to start packing a few things up today and then tomorrow is the big laundry and packing day. I feel like I kind of know the drill, so no biggie.
Have a good weekend and see you soon!!0 -
My sons tell me that 6:00 is too early for bed. 6:30 maybe? LOL This has been a long week and next week is going to be a busy one. My formal observation is on Tuesday. Yikes! I am going to sleep all weekend and try to forget all about it!
Have a great trip @Meghan509 !0 -
Good morning!
Hello from beautiful (and a little chilly) Miami, Florida!
Made it safely yesterday from rainy New York and with no flight delays or issues. So far so good.
Tomorrow through Thursday AM's will mean a 5:45am alarm, so I am downstairs by 6:45am. Good times, good times. Looking forward to seeing my colleagues from all over the globe.
I am here set up in the Ballroom waiting for the hotel to deliver our boxes, so I can start unpacking things. UGH.
LOL at 6:00pm bed time! Totally get it sometimes @KateNkognito. Hope you got some good rest this weekend!
Alrighty, let me go chase the hotel (again)! Have a good day and see you soon.0 -
Here is the view this morning from my outside of my room on the patio.

@Meghan509 I am SO jealous of that view! Although it is sunny and 60s this week, I would 100% jump at the chance to be there! I hope all your things arrived and this week goes smoothly.
Weight loss seems to have taken a downward trend again. I had stopped the diet soda and switched to regular. I only have one 12oz per day, but apparently the calories add up enough. Switched back to diet and I am back down. I guess I will stick with this evil until I get to my goal.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is my evaluation. Prayers and positive thoughts!
Going to head to bed soon. Have a great week and stay healthy!

Happy Tuesday!
Writing to you from day one PM! Going very well so far. Everybody is very happy with the food and the hotel and the meeting in general has been good. Kind of boring not knowing about ALL of the stuff that is being talked about, but there's an internet for that. LOL
Glad you enjoyed that pic, @KateNkognito! The weather is nice today too. We are inside all day but during lunch we had the fire alarm go off so as a result we took a little walk around the block! Luckily there was no emergency.
Good luck with your evaluation today! Mine should be scheduled in the next month or two as well. You are going to do awesome!!
Yep, I could see regular soda being an issue. Seems pretty high in calories and the sugar sigh... I think you are better off sticking with diet while you are losing and treat yourself once in a while.
Going to sign off and listen to more of this boring meeting. LOL Have a good day and see you soon!0 -
I am SO looking forward to my day off Thursday! Just have to make it through tomorrow! My husband had a mole that was skin cancer and has to go in to get a follow up surgery to make sure they got it all. Fun times, as you know, Meghan.
I hope your afternoon was less exciting than the morning fire alarm! LOL Glad everyone is liking all the fruits of your labor!
I am trying to sync all my health apps through Google Fit. Hopefully it works. I'd like them to be able to trade information.
Have a great rest of the week!

Good morning!
Day two AM going well! Time for lunch yet?! LOL
Things still going well here. Maybe we can come back here again next year. Would make my life easier.
Getting ready to finish the big meeting and start the small meeting! Looking forward to tomorrow mid day when I am DONE with meetings!
@KateNkognito aren't those moles fun?! I have had two removed in the past year. The one on the back of my leg required stitches for two weeks. Sending positive vibes to your husband! Hope all goes well.
Hope you have a good day. February starts tomorrow! WOW. See you soon!0
