Smokin' Hot Green Pepper's 3/11 week 10

haven't felt well the last few days. still don't know if it's a cold or allergies. pressure in head, but not really congested nasally. chest is tight, sore throat. have done 3 breathing treatments with the nebulizer, taken Mucinex, Sucrets. no fever, but just feel blah. have had 3 allergy attacks too. hate when that happens cuz then my eyes look like crap.

anyway, I woke this am and thought it was almost 6, when really it was just past 5:30. I wasn't tired, and just decided to go for a walk. Sun not up and about 43*. love this kind of weather...for walking!

put my summer clothes away and winter are all out now. that took a few hours. went for another walk, so I did 4 miles today. decided to pitch my favorite walking shoes (only had them 4-5 yrs). thinking I'll have some shin splints tomorrow. hope to add a stretch workout or resistance. OMG! did something happen? did something **click**? one thing for sure...many of my clothes are too tight...

didn't get my flu shot per Dr.

had 3 hr bus safety meeting tonite. Always seem to have a good class for us. Mentioned that we may have to start searching our buses for "explosives, bombs, etc", as part of our pre-trip inspection. All because of terrorists. They say that anything to do with schools gets everyone's attention..and we all know the best way to hurt humans is to harm their children. They showed us a film of a bus exploding. Unbelievable. This program is called First Observer and is operated under the TSA of the US Dept of Homeland Security. Who could have imagined??

tomorrow is my errands day. have a good one ladies!

enjoy your trip to LA...don't empty your pockets! I had McDonalds earlier this week. :sick: Yesterday was better. Off to get some groceries!

missin' the rest of the gang.....hope all is well! love ya team!

up 1.2 lbs. down from 3 days ago, so it is positive for me. have had 2 good days and starting my 3rd. also have been doing 4 mile daily walks but not all at once. 2 miles each time and either am, afternoon, or evening. breaking the pattern a little. my fall clothes are snug. Don't like it one bit. will do some work and make some changes.

have a good day and a nice weekend! love to all...take care!

the bonfire was a success! Like I mentioned, nothing good available, but I was happy that I didn't have seconds of anything. I was on the *girl* team for the scavenger hunt and 2 yrs in a row we have won!! the hardest thing to find this time around was an acorn. a visit to the park and we were done!

my sister, her kids and I are going to MOA this coming Friday. nothing like last minute...and not affordable. :ohwell: we hardly do anything together and it's always a good time, so I just feel I can't say no.

We have a short week coming up...early out's Tues and Thurs and no school Friday. Hard to believe it's the end of October and 2 more mos of this year left.

Leaving soon to in-laws for Thanksgiving.

back home LAST NIGHT MY ALLERGIES ARE THE WOORST

oh no...feel better soon! I am doing better, but still coughing up some gunk.

will be in and out of the house working today...got my list made!

food could have been better yesterday. had a wild turkey and it was very drrry and tough. I ended up cutting it into small, small pieces and mixed it with my coleslaw!

Tyler and I made a quick trip into the city and I bought him a new winter coat. His last one was 8 yrs old:noway: It was a Columbia 3 in 1 and really it is still in pretty good shape, cept it has a couple tears in it next to the zipper. got my moneys worth on it for sure.

anyone interested in doing an exercise challenge.....like maybe miles walked/jogged, or setting a goal of minutes for the week?? I just want to get a head start and keep the momentum going thru the holidays and into the new year. we can start right now or Monday, Halloween or the 1st of Nov. what do ya think?

not enough sleep last nite and very tired all day long. our laminate flooring arrived last last week (per phone call/voice mail that dh did NOT listen to..Fri when I was gone.) so I went to the city to pick it up today. got a few groceries. wanted to get my hair cut, but needed to get home with frozen/cold foods.

guilty...did pick up some candy today for bus kids. since they had elementary parade thru town, many parents took them home, so I had a short route with not as many kids...and only half the treats were taken. I (over) indulged. I also bought a tray of the mini cupcakes and had 3 (which is a serving). not a good day eating for this gal. bad bad bad. someone slap my hands. :frown:

debated whether to even turn our porch light on. couldn't bring myself to do it (off) since I have my brother's kids, and cousins kids/cousins that come every year. right there is about 10 kids. I think we had 16. what a joke. the only way I will ever get out of this is if I am gone, outta town OR I move away. I think on our whole street there were 4 houses with lights on. puh.

was called to do a short bus trip tomorrow. need to work on the leaves. finish laundry. hoping (praying) my new floor gets done....SOON.

here's to a better day tomorrow. It's a new month. 2 more and that's it for 2011. can't believe Jan will be my 4th January HERE!

thinkin of ya ladies. you are my besties. love to all.
