Friday randomly
I'm wearing shorts to work today.
For some reason, I'm in a really good mood this morning.
I stepped on the scale at work today and was shocked at the number! I'm down 5lbs since the last time I weighed myself. Woohoo!
Re: Friday randomly
TGIF!
Congrats on your weight loss TheWop!
I'm in a pretty good mood this morning too. I've been feeling kind of off lately, but today I'm finally feeling better.
I'm sitting here in PJs, drinking coffee, avoiding work. Funny how I'd been thinking about cutting my hours in half, because of a few different factors, and then once The Boss actually *said* my hours were being cut without any input from me, I kind of took offense and suddenly have no desire to work at all... even though it's exactly what I wanted. Lame.
I love the rain and cool breeze this morning. At one point, the sun was streaming in the east-facing window while outside the west-facing window (in the same room) the sky was black, we could hear thunder, and see a flash of lightning.
More coffee.

GRKaters, sorry to hear about your surprise change in work schedule. I hope you're happy with your decreased hours though!
Jealous of your weight loss! What have you been doing to loose it?
One of my summer goals is to learn how to crochet and on Wednesday I had my first lesson (from my Grandma!). So far I'm pretty slow, but my Grandma thinks I'm doing good. Haha.

I try to watch what I eat mostly and I've been trying really hard to add more fruits and vegetables to my diet. I also have been making small changes to my workout every few weeks.
Thanks
I think it'll work out OK... just have to get used to it and budget better.

That stinks. Kind of demotivating when it's not your idea. Hope it works out well for you in the long run!
Morning ladies!
Congrats WOP on your weight loss, that's awesome. Plus, you get to wear shorts to work? I am majorly envious. We just got the usual, "reminders" about the dress code e-mail at work. It's obnoxious. I have a nice pair of dressy "walking shorts" and can't wear them unless I have a matching "dress jacket"...grumble.
Katers, would it help if you talked to your boss and just let him/her know you wish they would have asked for some input from you before dropping such a bomb? I totally understand how you're feeling though, it's one of those things that would bug me too.
Jillian- I've always wanted to learn to crochet and knit, glad to hear it's going well so far.
Thanks!
And, yes we get to wear shorts to work :-) We're a VERY casual office, and most days we're all wearing jeans and tshirts. This is my first time wearing shorts to work, ever. I figured the guys can wear shorts, I will too. They're bermuda shorts that hit just above the knee, so it's nothing crazy. I don't think I would wear anything shorter than this. Sometimes I think I would like to work in an office where I have to dress up all the time because I love feeling put together....but I also love throwing on pretty much whatever and walking out the door.
I wouldn't wear shorts if I could. It's always freezing in here.
Wop, congrats on your weight loss.
Maybe if I actually cared about my job, I'd do this
But... I get to work from home, set my own (however piddly) hours, and wear PJs while I work, so really what's the point of muddying the waters, kwim?

Cool! I was taught to crochet by a prof/mentor in college, and made a few throws and scarves, but have since forgotten what to do.

Hi Girls! I'm working from home today and DH has the day off. The two of us at home together should be interesting
My camera was supposed to be delivered yesterday. The UPS man usually comes about 5-6...except yesterday. He came before we were home and since it requires a signiture, I didn't get it BOOO! Oh well, one day won't kill me.
Oh man! I hate it when that happens with a package, especially one so anticipated. But, at least you'll have it for the weekend.
What'd you get? I could snack all.day.long.

Wohoo I can finally get in here. But the nest is still slow.
Anyways friends of ours have friends who have a new repair shop. They are willing to take $200 down and we can make payments. If its the head gasket, they will charge half what everyone else is saying. And if it's not the head gasket, even better
That's great news!
It's nice to know people, isn't it?

Hi. I was just able to log on.
So glad today is Friday.
Awesome! God always makes a way!
Wop--yay on the weight loss! That is great.
GRK, I'm jealous of your working from home and sipping coffee. I would be bummed about the hours getting cut, too. Hopefully you'll soon enjoy your increased free time and feel motivated again.
Yes, that is great news. Glad it seems to be working out.
YAY!! nest working right!
I went out to Nordstrom's Rack yesterday and scored new running shoes. Reg Price 63.59 OTD
Deeder Price 21.19 OTD.
I then went into the Mall and found nothing else. Centerpoint Mall is SO quiet.
Great price for running shoes!
