Monday, Monday

I hope you all had a great weekend! I got a lot of work done around the yard/house. That was good because (1) it needed done, (2) it gave my brain a break and (3) was a good workout. I could barely move by Sunday! But, I was pleased with my "patio" projects and accomplishments, which also included cleaning out a closet that I dreaded doing!

One "little" project was giving my hanging tin man a face-lift. See, here he is, all shiny...



I hope it was a Happy Fathers Day for all the dads. I have the best dad ever! He's very special!

Have a good Monday!!

What Happened?

I was trying to get back into the swing of blogging regularly. I like to blog, and I especially love to read my favorite blogs. Maybe I can catch up soon.

June is the busiest time of year for me..I have lots of hours of intense brain work...these little icons haunt me day and night...

This is the one I don't like to see..it means that somewhere in the thousands of data items, I have an error.


This is my favorite site right now: When I see this, I know that things are going good...until the state runs at night, which may produce some new errors...
I think in all actuality it is going fairly well, but I am tired, and my brain actually hurts. Besides this stuff, there are a jillion other things going on at work and chores to go along with those. So, I will blog soon, with something fun to talk about...

Meanwhile, have a HAPPY WEEKEND!!

Gorillas In the Mist?

Wow, two early mornings this week, I thought of that movie when we were up on our early 5 AM treks. We are alternating bike riding and walk/running. But it was SOOOO misty on Monday morning! And a bit yesterday too! I don't know why I thought of that movie...am I a gorilla? Hmmm. (Deep thoughts...?? :-) Not really!)

News flash: I can't wait to meet my new dog-niece...she looks adorable!!

My horoscope for today...sorry to be stuck on that theme but they have been of interest lately:

Leo (July 23 - August 22) Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Don't be surprised if you find yourself encountering a number of new opportunities before the day is through. So just try to stop worrying about everything and leave the past behind. It's time to get ready for all the interesting opportunities that could soon be surrounding you.

You could find yourself feeling rather driven and ambitious at the moment. You’ll probably want to make sure that you get credit for everything you’re willing to do and that you are appreciated for all your efforts. Your days of being overlooked may be coming to an end, and you could be in the process of becoming a much more effective individual.

Well, being more effective could be a good thing! Wish me luck!!

Uhoh is right...

Uhoh...

You'll probably feel like doing something spontaneous today. You're bound to have a taste for adventure and will really want to expand your horizons in some way and have a few new experiences right now. You probably wouldn't mind getting away from your usual environment and going somewhere different, and that might not be a bad idea if it's at all possible.

You might be inclined to want to tell people exactly what you think today. But you ought to be careful that you don’t get carried away and think you can tell someone what they ought to do. Just be aware that not everyone will be interested in hearing all your opinions right now.

So, of course, today was the day that I opened my mouth and upset someone. I didn't really mean anything bad, but I did voice my "opinion". I should have listened to my horoscope...

Friday!!

I am glad it is Friday! Even though it was a short week, it seemed long. Busy times at work! I am hoping for a nice weekend to enjoy some biking and of course, the dog park. Every night we walk the dogs, Sissy tries to cross the street there when we walk by the dog park! It is kinda cute seeing her effort to go there and play, but then I feel bad that we don't take them every day! But evenings are too short to spend time there during our walk!!

Last night, my friend, R, stopped by the house on her bike ride. That was nice, I love drop in company!!! We were just playing around on computers...well, I was trying out the new iPad....more on that later. No, I didn't buy one...they belong to the school, but we get to try them and see how we like them. I think they will have trouble getting them out of our greedy hands at the end of summer! :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!! Smile!

Early to Rise?

You may recall this fall/winter when I was all into getting up early and going to an early morning exercise class at the Y. I liked it. And, I'd go work out at the Y some early mornings as well. But, the class ended, and the one that took it's place was not my cup of tea. So, I quit my early mornings. Why? I don't know. I justified it because I do have exercise class after work three nights a week, and I walk, etc. The main thing is, I just don't like mornings. Never have.

Well, hubby decided he would get up early and start back into his old running program...so he has been easing into that. Then on off days, he may do something else. So, this morning, after many mornings of my rolling over and then just laying there listening to the radio blast for one hour, feeling a tiny bit guilty for not getting up and my excuses, he said, come on, get up. So, we went and rode bikes for about 45 minutes. It was good.

The early morning air was wonderful, there were happy people out walking, running and biking who all seemed to say "good morning", and it just felt good. One day down...in a few days I will be back into the habit. So, good for him for "encouraging" me (forcing me) to get up! :-)

Besides, after seeing myself in photos from a wedding we recently attended, where I looked like a big fat black and white cow, I think increasing my exercise will be good. I haven't changed sizes in a few months, but I need to go down more. WAY WAY more.

Have a great day!!!
