[lindalinda]

Marie, that is so cool! You have to let us see it when its done or a link if its online! Maybe a new gig for you...I mean you do have lots of spare time!

 

[lovinaz]

That's awesome, be sure to send us a link when it gets published!

HOLY CRAP!! That's AWESOME news!! You call me for other things....but not for THAT??

Maybe you can get out of that job you can't stand and take pictures for a freakin living!!! (well, as your first job, I mean!)

You MUST share!!!

Thanks guys!! I was really wound up last night! Kim...I don't think you wanted me to call you....it would have been 11:30 your time!! Anyway, like I said, we'll see. I hope it does happen...it would be really cool....(I always look at the pictures and the by-line...who took the photo....joe schmoe/AP, Bo Bob/Staff photographer) maybe i'm just weird....
Anyway, it won't be anything major....probably just a paragraph w/ 2 or 3 pics.

So, my co-worker Lisa is having hip replacement surgery on 2/27...and guess who gets to do her job while she's gone for 6-8 weeks.....yes, me. YAY. The majority of what I"ll be doing is payroll. (in addition to my own workload!)
I've been working w/ her for a week and a half....yes, I understand it...it's not hard at all....a little confusing at times....(hourly people, commission people, bi-monthly, weekly, minimum wage vs/ commission, 401k, Insurance, child support, AR deductions.....) just a lot to remember. Well, today I was trying to work and the office kept getting louder and louder....(happened yesterday too, was bothering the boss yesterday)...today, it was REALLY bothering me...so...you know me....I said...not really loudly, but very clearly...."If you don't work in this office, LEAVE...if you do work in this office, would you please quiet down??!!" Yes, I got several dirty looks, but hey, it worked....the 4 people that were in there "visiting" left, and you pretty much could have heard a pin drop for the next couple of hours. Boss never said a word. She knew. So, now I'm hated....again. Oh well. Trust me...I won't lose any sleep over it.

Ok...food today....
B-cereal...jc...but I forgot the name
L-jc broccoli & cheese baked potato....really good!!
S-jc trail mix
D-jc lasagna
Water - 48 oz so far.....working on another 20. 8 oz of diet orange
Exercise - getting ready to hit the treadmill. didn't make it out there last night...too much drama w/ dd.
oh, we did go to sonic tonight...and it was hard, but i ordered for myself.......



NOTHING!!!!!


no, it really wasn't that hard actually. And I only took 1 tator tot from my DS. (go ahead, throw things at me)
Also, I realized today....(kim...are you reading this???)


I HAVEN'T HAD A SWEET TEA IN OVER 3 MONTHS!!!!

ok....gotta go workout. feeling frumpy....and full....

later taters!
marie

[kmp1191]

[lindalinda]

Krap my post disappeared. Im too sleepy to do it again. pooey.

Glad you got the "sweet tea monkey" off your back finally!

nite!

 

[lovinaz]

That's awesome that you are finally over your sweet tea addiction! I'm sure Jenny Craig would approve!!

Great job avoiding Sonic, I really love their tater tots, I don't think I could have stopped at just one!

You are doing awesome, keep it up!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks Amy & Linda!!

Today was a looonnnnnnggggg day!! I got the hang of the payroll, but the woman training me....Lisa....talks to people like they are 3 yrs old. That is something i don't deal with very well. She also made a few comments about the guy I had paint..(she's hired him to do A room in her house)...anyway, she made several snide, witchy comments and I finally lost it. I said " Ya know what...I think I'll call him and tell him I'll pay him NOT to go back to your house...you're a frickin' nutcase!!!" (Apperantly he wasn't there at the break of dawn like she thought he should be!!) Then I told her if she didn't like what he did, or how he does it, to fire him....but either way, leave it at home...I don't want to hear it!!" My boss called me tonite on my way home and told me she thought I was going to hit her (lisa)...it was getting close! She (lisa) will be gone most of next week for jury duty, then the week after that is her surgery. I need rum.

ok...so the kids have been really good this week....what's up w/ that? This whole week has been like a twilight zone episode!! WHERE ARE MY FIGHTING, BICKERING, SCREAMING KIDS??!!

Food -
b-jc sunshine sandwich
l-salad w/ ranch & jc potato soup
s-jc cheese curls
d-jc chicken fettucinne (sp?)
water - 60 so far....
exercise- gonna go hit the mill for 3 miles....and then do the weights again.

then after that...i'm going to bed. i'm tired. DH will be home tomorrow night...

my head hurts....

You need rum, I need a dirty monkey. No, I mean the kahlua/banana concoction.

Hope it felt good getting all of that stress off your chest!! Soooo many times I just want to let it out, but chicken out somehow. Thankfully you won't have to deal with Lisa for a while. Take care of yourself too missy! Good job gettin' on that treadmill too! I need to do some of that myself!

I'm behind on your journal, so let me say now WAY TO GO on kickin' that sweet tea addiction! Now, could you send some of that willpower to me so I can kick my new cheesecake addiction?

Have a fab weekend!

How many calories are in Baileys Irish Creme?
It's over ice.....

 

[lindalinda]

94 cals in 1.3 oz. I guess thats a shot? Or was that a rhetorical question?

I think you deserved one, I mean after all those kids are being really good and all.



ETA: the ice has zero

 

[Blueeyes101817]

WAY TO GO on not having sweet tea in THREE months! That is awesome!!!
I guess those "kim challenges" really work--I have pretty much kicked my soda habit and just have it once in awhile..

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENJOY your weekend!

 

[lovinaz]

Mmmmm, Bailey's.... Why do you torture me so?

I have a co-worker slap wish list as well, maybe we can have some kind of an exchange program.

Hang in there, your DH will be home soon and I'm sure the kids will be back to their obnoxious selves soon too!

 

[kmp1191]

DH IS HOME!!!!:banana:


but he has to work all weekend..... .....and then he leaves again on Wednesday for 2 days. But, that's ok...it's only 2 days then.

So...i didn't yell at anyone today...so that was good ....and it's friday...so that is even better..
I'm going to focus on the positive because tomorrow... ....I had 2 baileys on ice last night, and one tonight. plus i've only worked out once or twice this week. I'm not worried about it though. I know what to do next week, and I will be able to do it....dammit!!! I'm not going to beat myself up over it either. There, I'm done.

Food today -
B- fruit / granola cereal....love this stuff...it has chewy raisins!!!
L-turkey chili....great on a 29* day!!!
D- spinich tortellini....
S-cookies & cream cheesecake
water-60 oz
baileys - 6 oz
exercise-none

My plan for tomorrow is: Weigh in, go to bank, pick up house & clean office, WORKOUT FOR 60 MINUTES AT LEAST!!!
My plan for Sunday - WORKOUT FOR 60 MINUTES AT LEAST, and do my taxes, take the kids to a movie.

Not necessarily in that order on either day.

Ok....gonna go snuggle w/ DH!

Oh...and the kids are still being good..... (i'm starting to get scared!!)

later taters!
marie

 

[lindalinda]

Have a nice weekend! I'm sure you'll be "working out" a lot while DH is home. YOU DONT GET TO LOG MILEAGE FOR THAT THO!



There ought to be a diet baileys. Life would be much better if there was.

 

[kmp1191]

ok...not bad, not bad.....lost 1 pound! I'm updating my ticker from last week (-.8) and this week. Ok...so it's like
.2 off....(i'll go pee and it'll be even!!! ) 156.2

I made my own menu this week. JC has a thing where you can use their preplanned menu's or you can make your own...i've been using theirs. So, last night I sat down w/ the list and made up my own for the week. My counselor Peggy said it would make a difference with my motivation...since I picked it, I would be more apt to eat it. Another woman in the center said the same thing.

so...i've weighed in, and i've been to the bank. Now it's cleaning time, then workout time. Anyone wanna come help?

Oh, and I told Peggy about the 3 Bailey's on ice....she said the temper outburst must have burned more calories than normal!!

have a great weekend ya'll!!

[kimwim8]

Congrats on the loss!! I knew you could do it!

Oh my goodness! You ladies are crackin' me up!

Weigh to go on your weight loss, Marie! Keep up the good work!

That's great that you got to plan your meals for the week.

Thank you so much for your support and words of encouragement in my journal. I'm working on it!

Have a great weekend!
