  • M – I did have a talk with my manager. I was just told “I’ll have to think of something for you to do”. So far...nothing And when they start having “labor”i ssues, what will be the first thing to be eliminated? Non-essential work. That means me. If the store mgr has no idea why I’m leaving, I’ll just say that I’ve told her…
  • Did Prevention Fit after 40DVD then one section of 10 Minute Solution Yoga DVD then took my walk around the block. Heather – congrats on another win Lanette – another thing about trips being different when you’re older than when you were 20. You have to remember to take ALL the medications….lol The prep stuff for my…
  • I just looked up hot cross buns. Seems they have raisins in them so I know Vince won't eat them. Not sure about Jess, I doubt it. So off to find something else to have. Michele
  • Went to ceramics tonight and picked up my Tipsy Fish. Food Lion seems to be the only store that carries Yukon Gold potatoes. Got my shrimp. I'm going to use the potatoes on Easter and try making scalloped potatoes. They don't have hot cross buns, either. Michele
  • Dida 20-40-60 workout today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Lose 10Pounds Now DVD and then a Perfect Pilates DVD Lisa– one time our cat brought in a rabbit. The poor rabbit was scared s**tless, went behind the buffet and died. For the longest time I smelled this horrible smell. I tried everything to mask it, boiled…
  • Barbara– unfortunately, this isn’t the first time the fryer has caught fire. I feel sorry for the store mgr having to deal with all this. Broiler breaking down, oven breaking down. Unfortunately, this is bad for business. I know that if I had a choice between (say) McD’s and BK, my thought might be “every time I go to BK…
  • M– I have to constantly remind myself that this is fast food, this isn’t corporate America. Would your company keep someone on who consistently reeked of pot? I doubt it. Would your company keep an employee on their payroll for over 20 years who consistently came to work drunk...that is, IF they came to work without…
  • Flea– I know learning another language as an adult isn’t all that easy. I tried to learn Polish many years ago. My problem was that there wasn’t anyone around me who spoke Polish. She has people around her who speak English (I would think). So she would be exposed to it every day. I don’t know. I did talk to the store mgr…
  • While at work today got a call from C. He’s going to have someone here this afternoon to take out the stumps. He’s also going to have someone come by to look at the deck. I guess you could say that I’m a bit upset that BK hired this non-English speaking person who evidently is doing prep (since that seems to be the only…
  • Walked down to the dollar store to get Denise a birthday card on Sun. Why I did that I have no idea. Her birthday isn’t until the end of May. Allie– you’ll feel much better once you get something in your stomach. Rest! Ro– I have Gin Miller’s, I think it’s called, beginners step DVD. I do have others but I may use that one…
  • On aging – the other day I looked in the mirror and thought “who IS that old woman in the mirror?” Then I realized it was ME! I am as old as I feel and I feel 39. The body doesn’t always agree, tho. Barbara– I don’t use a medicine ball, but instead I use a dumbbell Jess just called to ask when we’re opening the pool. This…
  • Did Firm Maximum Cardio Burn DVD then some yoga then took a walk around the block Mo– this DVD had some step in it, and I really need to get back to step. Good back-in Vince wants to cut the grass today so maybe I’ll come across that small stump that I could swear was here. If I do, I’ll not only put the “X” on it but also…
  • Did Biggest Loser 30 Day Jumpstart DVD today, then some yoga. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Firm Max Cardio Burn DVD and then some yoga. Boy, do I need it Vince was a bit upset that I gave the guys from Exodus Works a $60 tip for a $75 job. But these guys are trying to get back into society. Plus, if you give a good…
  • Did HIIT today. Normally, I would do my thing in the pool and then join the water aerobics class. But since I can’t do that I’ve been using the rowing machine. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Biggest Loser 30 day jumpstart DVD and then some pilates. Mo – I’d prefer not to bake as much. But Vince likes his desserts. To me,…
  • Dr katie – you’re on a roll now with the weight loss! Awesome. Prayers for your SIL. What kind of morning workouts are you doing that make you more flexible? I’m the most inflexible person on the face of the earth A guy came here to hopefully give us a quote for landscaping. I’m not sure that I want to stay with the guy we…
  • Allie – rest! Your body needs it. You won’t be any good to anyone if you don’t heal Got the call about the purchase of supplies for the bathroom at the condo. Honestly, from the way she said it would be a “large order”, I was expecting it to be around $1,000. It was half that. Oh well. Barbie – that link just took me to…
  • Rosie – I’ve been using the free version since 2009 and never felt the need to go premium Tracey – yesterday I was stress eating not being able to see PJ. But today I’m getting more and more of the feeling like “look how much money we’re saving”. Hey, I gotta look at it somehow!!! Re – I like your sweeteners in your…
  • Carol – Jess is VERY focused on her career. I don’t expect any grandchidren from her and Colby. Grand puppies and grand kitties – yes. Grandchildren, I’d be VERY surprised if there were any from her. But that's OK, she still communicates with us frequently Allie – here’s hoping Tracey feels better fast
  • Did 10 Minute Solution High Intensity DVD then some yoga. Jess and Colby came here last night soI took Ganon for two walks this morning Rosie FL – congrats on thel oss! What part of FL are you in? Remember I had the cyst under my arm while I was in FL? Well, the dermatologist up here lanced it again and got some more…
  • Exercised (stairstepper and then the rowing machine for 15 minutes) and then went to WalMart. Came home and made a taco tater tot casserole for Jess. Not sure if she'll have it here or take it home. Then the soup kitchen. Had BLT (I snacked on some of the ends of the tomatoes) and potato wedges (they are good). Then came…
  • Went to ceramics. As I thought, there was this one gal manning the place. Her comment to me was “how do I know if it was poured here”. Actually, I have a cat welcome sign and someone just told me to tell them that it was poured there, just a few years ago and they got rid of the mold since then. Sounds good to me. Tina –…
  • Did a body pump DVD. I need to get back in my routine, I totally forgot to wear my bathing suit. See, I couldn’t use the pool in FL so I’m out of the habit. (this was probably a blessing in disguise) Supposed to go to the dermatologist. Hope I can go in the pool. Update: not for a few weeks The plan for tomorrow is to do…
  • Not much today. I did talk tothe store mgr about a raise. She seemed open to it. But I did getthe feeling that it wouldn’t be much of a raise. Bowling tonight Carol – so glad the eye procedure went well It bothers me when people are talking on the phone in public. I always think they’re talking to me My neighbor is going…
  • Mo – the first gal at the ceramics place quit because they wouldn’t give her a raise. In retrospect, this might not have been a bad thing. She seemed to want to make it “her” place, do only what she wanted to do (like not pouring large molds, only small ones, ordering lots of different colors of this one type of paint and…
  • Found out from J that theceramics place is open 10-2 (which doesn’t work for us) except on Thurs when it’s open 10-8. So we didn’t go up tonight Lanette– well, I know that the previous gal who ran the ceramics place left because they wouldn’t give her a raise. What happened with this gal, I don’t know. It happened while I…
  • Nope, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. Now to try to catch up Left FL about 9 on Thurs, got to NC about 7. It appears that BK hired someone to do my job while I was gone. Only this gal can’t speak English. They want to keep her (why, if they can’t communicate with her) and they figure my job is easy so they’ve…
  • Did an extreme strength DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do some yoga. Said Good Bye to the gals at the Y. One gal lost her mother the other day so we all got her a sympathy card and I signed it. Then filled up on gas and had to stop at Brevard Charities thrift store. Started to get ready to be packed, emptied the…
  • Didn’t do the DVD I’d planned to do since they needed to keep the fans on in the spin room. When I got in it was very chilly so I did an incline interval workout on the spin bike. The plan for tomorrow is to do an extreme weights DVD I realized that I can’t post the pictures of the alligator at all. They said we could take…
  • Did Jari Love Bootcamp DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do an intense burn DVD Well, the gal I was to meet said that she got a bad night sleep last night so she canceled. Personally, I can’t help thinking that since she’s a native Floridian, maybe it was too cold for her. I took my sweater out of the trunk and away I went.…
