Happy Saturday my friends. . .I am off Saturday, Sunday and Monday and NO CALL all weekend. . .feels like another vacation, but I don't have to go anywhere. . .lol.[/QUOT

Thats the one thing I love about my current job.....No weekends and no call!!! Have a great weekend!

I went last year in Nov near the end of F&W! It was the best...was able to do F&W, see Osborne lights and the Xmas decorations! I am trying to figure out a way to go this year too! It was a blast.... I have also been several times at the end of Sept at the start of F&W. Love F&W!! What's not to love.... it combines 2 of my favorite things!!!

Yup a FUN bunch here!!!

Okay Food and Wine does not start till October 1. I go several times because I love tasting the food. Last year the best thing was this torched cherry drink in Puerto Rico (yes it had alcohol). OMG, Andrea and I had that every time we were in the park.

I will definitely go to food and wine this year. Hopefully, it will not interfere with my new fitness routine. . .lol.

I didn't try that drink but the cherry beer was yummy! The great thing about working out is being able to eat! I started last Nov really working out and love it. I hit the gym about 5 days a week. It is amazing how great it makes you feel!!!

I double fisted those torched cherry colada things. One in each hand and when I was empty, I was sad.

Lots of pages to cover from last night. Am in work today as a volunteer at a middle school science bowl. (the high school one was in January) But getting ready to go home now. Where there is more work to do.

Can you believe I paid 3.60 for gas the other day???

Currently it's like 3.39 here. Makes me kinda glad I live only 15miles from work.

I remember when it was so cheap ! It is $3.75 here the last time I got gas. Which was earlier in the week. I do not drive much, I generally ride my bike to work.

This is a FUN group - who all is going to Food and Wine this year?

I will be there the first weekend for the W&D Half.

The great thing about working out is being able to eat!

Another benefit of biking to work. And I am lucky as they have a nice pool here also so I go swimming three times a week also.

What a beautiful day it is here. Have a great weekend!

Enjoy your three day.

My friends invited me to run the food and wine half marathon this year. If I decide to attend it's going to be a quick turnaround. I would arrive on Friday afternoon, run the half marathon Saturday evening (yes, the race starts at 10PM) and depart Sunday morning before noon. Still thinking about it.

 

[nurse.darcy]

Enjoy your three day.

Thanks, so far just opening boxes. I have a lot to go through after emptying my storage. Finding places for everything is challenging at best.

 

[Madonna3]

Ugh, I hate moving. I feel your pain Darcy. I'd rather just burn it and buy new.

Just got home from the demonic realm that holds my paycheck hostage. Get to go back tomorrow.

So much for the weekend off

ME!!!
but I need to check with the bff in FL to find out his schedule....

I feel your pain as well. I spent from 10am to 430pm opening boxes and trying to find places for everything. I'm down to 3 totes of randomness hiding in my closet and there are 3 totes of books left in my storage shed. Sadly, all the space on my bookcases is already filled, so I either have to purge before they can come inside, or break down and buy another bookcase (because 3 five shelf bookcases aren't enough to hold all my books....and the kids each have their own 3 shelfer already....). The real problem with the buy another bookcase idea is more finding a place to put it. Then again I'm not real great at purging books....

 

[Madonna3]

Purge them and maybe donate them to a place I work at. I work for a non-profit addictions center. These people are usually homeless or have such shattered lives that it's been years since they've read a book, if they can even read. Maybe they'll find a story that relates to them in some way.

I've seen people with a 6th grade education pick up and book and try to read. These people don't likely know how to use community resources, so they've never had a library card, or anyone teach them how to even get one. So, when they come to my detox unit for a 7-10 day stay, they often try and forget their sorrows in a book.

Perhaps that would make the purge easier.

 

[Madonna3]

double post. sorry.

I have purged and downsized so much since this place is small that there is not much more I can downsize. I have two boxes left that I cannot open because I need to get nice boxes to put the stuff in since it always remains in a box. One is my photos. I have put a lot of them in albums already but I have TONS more that will probably never make it to albums but I will never get rid of them. The other is my scrapbooking stuff. Since I have more shoes than the average person is allowed to have, I placed the extras in an underbed storage box (works great). I have to get another underbed storage box that I will use to hold my workout wear (since it won't fit in my dresser) so its readily available to use. For now, I am done. Think I will relax and watch a movie tonight.

I finally purged and donated mine to the community library. Then someone bought me a kindle so now I don't have as many books lying around. I enjoy reading so they were taking over for awhile though.

On a completely unrelated note, I was visiting some daily screw -off sites. Stuff like failblog. org, verydemotivational.com, regretsy.com, etc. One one of these sites and I want to say it was lamebook, they were posting comments from facebook users about this terrible song called Friday.

Well, I think teenagers who are trying to make it into the music business get scrutinized unfairly by adult critics, so I figured I would give a listen and form my own opinion.

OH MY GOD!!

It has ruined 1/7th of my entire life. I want whomever produced that garbage to be brought up on charges for murdering a part of my soul. It was terrible!! I give the girl credit for putting her self out there, but even for "bubble-gum pop" that was the worst song I've ever heard. The music/sound is alright, but the lyrcis are just terrible. It's like this girl was writing some random $hit down in her notebook and some idiot came along and said, "Hey, let's put this random collection of thoughts to some music and then you can sing it. We'll act supportive and get some of your friends to fill in with some background "YEAH!"'s every now and then to make it look like you're not completely random and we all agree with what you're saying"

Who the hell writes lyrics like" Yesterday was Thursday. Tomorrow is Saturday. And Sunday comes afterwards." Really?! Thank you young Sherlock Holmes. Thank god you wrote a song about it otherwise, I would have been sitting here on a Saturday wondering what day of the week is next! You've saved me from certain doom.
Holy crap.

/rant off.

 

[TexasDisneyBelle]

1/7th of your life. Was that a mathematical calculation?

 

[Madonna3]

Yes it was.

 

[DIS_MERI]

My biggest book issue stems from the fact that we homeschool. Probably 3/4 of the books that we have are either for the kids to read (hence their own shelves) or for them to use in school. Can't very well get rid of those until the 4yo finishes up with them, lol. Except for her "learn to color/read" books and math workbooks, we use almost no consumables but we read *a lot.* If I find that I don't need something, I sell it (to buy more curriculum, lol). So, unless I want to get rid of my cookbooks, I've only got about 2 shelves of books that are for me, and therefore could be sold/donated without moving away from what I want to teach the kids. When the kids are done with everything, I'll sell/donate everything, or start a cottage school so I can actually get paid to educate someone
