Happy New Year

I didn't do my workout on the wii yesterday because I was up at 3:30am and went to work to unload the truck and the driver unloaded soooo slow. I also broke a nail really bad. It is broke halfway down and I can't get it off. I came home and fell asleep on the couch and then I got up and made John some dinner and then fell asleep on the couch again. I'm going to work out today.

Day Off

So I had the day off today and I got up had some coffee, balanced the checkbook, took a shower and went to the Walmart for groceries and a new coffee pot. Our coffee pot needed to be thrown away. John had asked for meatball hoagies for dinner so I was making them and realized I didn't get a jar of Prego. So I'm going to make them tomorrow so tonight I made macaroni and cheese. I got a cheese cake at Walmart and we had that for dessert. I worked out today and the Wii said I lost 2.2 lbs. I like that better than yesterdays 2 lb gain. John's not feeling so good, hopefully he isn't coming down with something,

My Sunday

This morning I got up and went to work where I set Valentine Hearts planogram and filled it with merchandise. I also condensed Christmas merchandise and signed it with 50 or 75% off signs. Then I came home and we went to Chilli's for dinner but it was 9pm and John had been snacking all day so we got 2 appitizers and then we came home and I got on the WII fit and I did
a body test, which I'm supposed to do every day and I didn't know that and it told me I have gained 2 lbs since Friday and I'm supposed to lose 2.5 lbs in 2 weeks. I did a 30 minute work out and then played some bowling and tennis and golf. I'm tired now so I'm going to bed.

daily workout

I did my 30 minute workout this morning on my wii fit. This thing is so cool it is like working out
with someone instead of by yourself. Soooo cool. I love to bowl and play tennis too.

Excellent Christmas

We left Pa about 4pm on Christmas Eve and got to West Point about 8:30. We went to my brother, Shawns house. I was up til 2am and we slept till 6:30am. I got a Wii and a Wii fit and a GPS. I had to work today but John didn't so he hooked up the Wii and when I got home I worked out on the fit for and hour. This thing is awsome. I'm going to work out every day and see if I can tone up and loosed some weight.

Tomorrow we are havng a little luncheon at work.

Almost here

Well the big day is almost here. Today we had alot of items on sale for 75% off. Even though the weather was bad we were quite busy. John was talking about going to see the grandchildren this weekend but they are expecting 7 to 11 inches of snow today and another 7 to 11 inches tomorrow. I have to work all weekend and his mom is leaving so it would be a great time for him to go but I wouldn't want him to go in bad weather. Jeff Dunham's Christmas special is on tonight. I need to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, sometime before Christmas.
I'm going to take a nap now.

Winter weather

Well this morning I was sleeping in and my phone was vibrating so I answered it and it was my sister Amy. She said "guess where we are?" I said where and she said Edgewood Maryland at the Friendly's. She and her husband Rich took my parents to NYC to see the Rockettes. So after the phone call I got up and got ready for work and went to work. When I got to work it was sleeting and then through out the day it turned to snow and back to sleet and then to rain. Hopefully the fam got to NYC and home ok. We used to live in Edgewood that is why Amy called me to tell me they were there. That was over 15 years ago. Wow time flies.

Last day off before Christmas Day

So I got up this morning and went and had my nails done and now I have laundry out the wazoo to do and then me and John are going to dinner for his work to discuss health insurance plans. I think I'm finished my Christmas shopping. I have a few to wrap. Yesterday at work I changed my password but when I went to use the new one it wouldn't work. So now I have to get my boss to reset it for me.

Shopping at Kohls

Last night I went to Kohls after work and I got the best leather gloves, a wonderful jogging set which I will use a lounge wear, and some slippers cuz I lost one of mine. So I got 15% off the sale price and I got a $10 dollar coupon off my next purchase. I think I'm going back tomorrow, they are open until midnight. Earlier this week I got gas a a gas station in Parkesburg and I paid at the pump and when I was done the pump said "please see attendant" so I went inside and told the attendant that I paid at the pump and it didn't give me a receipt and is that why I need to see the attendant? and he said which pump and how much and he rang it up again and I asked several times if I would be double charged and he said no. Well I was double charged so I have to go back tomorrow and tell them that I got charged twice, hopefully I get my money back and I won't be getting my gas there ever again.

Pika on pain killers

Hey all, this morning when I got up Pika was sitting on my pillow staring at me. I took him and Aptiva outside and when he was coming in he was crying out like he was in pain. Last year at the same time I took him to the vet for the same reason and she gave me some pain killers for him to take. I gave him one but he seems to be in pain. I held him for a while because he won't lay down or sit down. When I took him to the vet last year she told me to carry him up and down the stairs for 6 weeks.

Two days off before Christmas

Ok tomorrow is one of the two days I have off before Christmas. I don't feel like going shopping. I ordered one of John's presents tonight on-line. I still have to get my brother another gift. We still need to order the childrens gifts. I think I'm going to do all of my shopping on-line. I really don't feel like going into a retail store after spending 65 hours a week in one. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself tomorrow. I will probably knit cuz I need to finish this sweater before the baby comes. Now I must get my checkbook in order and pay bills.

Book Signing

Hey all,

I just got an email from William Sonoma saying that Rachel Ray will be at the King of Prussia store on Saturday 12/6 at 12pm to sign her new Big Orange Book. You have to buy the book
from the King of Prussia William Sonoma and bring proof of purchase and she will personalize
the book for you, all other titles will only be signed. Of course I have to work. Maybe John and his brother will go get one for me.

relaxing day off

Well I got up this morning as John was leaving. I stripped the bed and washed the linens and cleaned the bathroom and did laundry and I've been knitting on the baby sweater for Baby McLean. Its a really cool pattern, it starts with the right sleeve and then you cast on more stitches and the sleeve folds and the cast on stiches make the bottom of the sweater and the shoulder is seamless. Pretty cool. Then I have to shape the neck. I think I'm going to make one for my nephew John's baby next if I can stand to do the same sweater twice, but it is so cool I think I might be able to.
