Well, the day has been kind to me today - very at one point or two No, I didn't weigh again *shudders at the thought* but I did get to talk to someone special and it brightened my day
It seems hard to get back into a schedule for my days after being gone for so long - not just here but at home as well.... No kids for two weeks so my work schedule has been adjusted so I don't have to work such long days to get in my hours It makes the time I AM there much better - not quite so tired at the end of the day - thank goodness
Well, much to do so must run - hope everybody has a good day! (in case I can't make it back )

Hi all
Scarlett, I LOVE going in early b/c I can get out early and enjoy some "me" time while the kids are gone or hubby is at work (usually) and STILL get done all my other stuff. I get two weeks of schedule "bliss" before reality comes crashing in! LOL
C, LMAO!!!!! A giant mosquito bite! We were lucky as there weren't many but I thought we were gonna get carried away by the danged flies!!! We were practically crunching on fly carcasses as we walked outside we killed so many!! LOL Some we only half killed and fed to a spider that took up residence near the camper awning No reason for him to starve when we had a steady supply of his food handy! LOL
hopefully, everyone had a good day - I know this B was hoppin' but happy TTFN, be back sometime tomorrow

C, I usually DO enjoy camping - but we were gone for two weeks, home for two days, gone for a week, now we're home again... hopefully for more than two days!! LOL I LOVE camping but I HATE to break camp so often!! LOL
Not much happening here (I hope) for the week - enjoying time without the boys. Well, trying. I miss the li'l boogers I realized that I've only seen them for 4 days out of the last 3 weeks!!!! Man, I hate that!!! I haven't really had any time with them this summer..... school starts in just over 2 weeks (and we still have no idea who the teacher is or what they need supply wise!!). Well, there went the summer! *sigh*
Got a "promotion" today Went from making the chocolate in the "mud room" to making the truffles and candies in the kitchen... some call it a promotion, but without a pay increase I call it a new, fun task to learn. I think I'll like it b/c it'll keep this busy brain occupied, but I think a pay increase is in order since I am now cross-trained in all but two areas of the business and I've only been there since february. There is only 1 other person who can say that and shes been there for 7 years. Hmmmmm..... Here's hopin
I'll have to play catch up this week - I feel like I've been gone forever!!!!! *sigh* A mountain CAN be moved - a pebble at a time

OoooOOOOOOooooh. TRUFFLES!!!
I'd call that a promotion... I'd also call it FREE TRUFFLES!!
I'd eat all the truffles and there'd be no proof except for the choclate around my mouth.
either way though, learning a new skills is good. too bad there's no pay increase but it's good that your employer is taking notice of your skills.

LMAO!!! Free truffles is only good if you don't get sick from eatin' them or get sick OF eating them!!! LOL I'm the "sick OF eatin' them" kind!!! The first week working there was GREAT! I got to eat all I wanted of everything... then it was "eeehhh, nah, had that" to everything Works out good you see I don't gain anything while I'm workin' there! LOL
I like learning new things - keeps the brain goin' strong. If I can't get an increase right now, I'll wait a bit then ask again. I know I'm more valuable than what they pay me (if only two of us are cross trained, you KNOW they'll pay to keep ya! LOL).

all I can picture is that episode where Lucy and Ethel went to work in the chocolate factory wrapping the chocolates. And the belt started moving too fast and they couldn't keep up. so they started eating them and stuffing them into their hats. Classic!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful week BizeB!!!! And enjoy that alone time while you can!! LOL!!!

Welcome back...Missed you Bize. As for the free truffles, that is so why I don't apply at Tim Hortons. Free donuts.
oh how the weight would pack back on. So I stay far away from there and don't want to work there. Good to have you back. I love camping too but haven't got to do that this year. Maybe next year.

Oooo...I love camping We camp anywhere from a month and a half to two months out of the year.
This year we've gone to Anza Borrego CA, Sedona AZ, San Clemente CA, & Santa Barbara. We have one more trip to Santa Barbara planned and one to Yosimite. It's one of my favorite things to do!!
Welcome back BizeB, glad to hear you had a great time

I am totally with you on the truffles!! I will get a craving for chocolate now and then, and seriously, halfway thru, I'm sick of it. GOtta get rid of it cuz I just can't handle it anymore... Sad I think.
I've been back from my vacation since July1, and I STILL feel like I'm in vacation mode! Glad things are going good, have a great day tomorrow@!!

Hi all Back again! LOL
Scarlett, we ALL joke about that episode at work!!! LOL We have a miniture version of the machine she was "on" and it does cause us to laugh our butts off more often than not! LOL We LOVE that episode!!
Jodee, it isn't just the truffles Its the choc. covered pretzels, the caramels, the fudge, the - well, everything!!! LOL I drank a LOT of water today to keep from eating it all as we were making it!! (I DID bring home some of the truffles and white choc. pretzels for hubby though )
Lord, help me to prevent weight gain!!!!!
M2M, I love to camp, but I like being home more than a few days before going away again I wish we could go all over, but we are still working the "bugs" out of our old, remodeled camper.
Jess, IF I get a choc. craving, one piece of DARK choc. usually covers me b/c its SOOO rich and chocolatey. As for vacation mode, I am going to have to force myself out of it come Friday night The boys called and want to come home NOW (the "fun" wore off after a few DAYS and they've been there going on three weeks! LOL), but due to daycare issues (its closed) they cant. So tomorrow, I'm going to work late to make up hours for going in late tomorrow (blood test ) and get ahead on some hours so I can leave early Friday and go get them from their fathers..... I miss the buggers so I don't mind the travel to get 'em
HOpe everyone has had a great day!

story for ya
Okay, not really a story - just a weird observation I made today...(PLEASE keep in mind this has not been edited for grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. - it was written as fast as my fingers could type )
I was taking my big 15 minute lunch break today and decided to sit on the window sill (a wide one! LOL ) and eat my wee bitty lunch... Well, I looked down at the sidewalk under the window and saw a couple of ants... Now I know ants aren’t anything new - they’re everywhere, BUT I noticed that one ant was carrying a rather large WING that once belonged to a butterfly. The other was carrying a dead fly....now, nothing I know - until you realize that they are carring things at least twice as big as they were OVER (ant-sized)BOULDERS. They would slowly, carefully make their way back toward their hole, each taking a different path.
As I watched, I noticed not only did they each have their own chosen path, but when they hit a “boulder” they didn’t feel they could cross, they back tracked a few steps and started out again, choosing a slightly different path but heading toward the same goal. Home.
Now these were ANTS. They only went about 3 feet or so, but for an ant, that amounts to MILES!!! They carried their heavy burdens, not stopping, not faltering, not giving up, for little anty MILES! In my mind, I likened this to the weight-loss journey that so many of us struggle with. We have a monumental-seeming task with, for most of us, a well defined, well deserved, and much wanted goal. We each choose a different path and, at one point or another, hit a “block” that tells us we need to search for an alternate path to get to the goal. For quite a few of us, this becomes a time to take a couple steps back and carefully choose our new footsteps. For others of us, it becomes the point when we give up, give in, and go down - like a grasshopper dying in the fall from not enough food stores.
I know I am determined to be the ant in this journey. Steadily, aggressively, whole-heartedly going toward my goal. Never giving up, never giving in, and NEVER going down just slightly altering my chosen path when necessary. I hope you, too, become the ant.
