hellloOOOO!! Cold, cold, cold this morning! I am wearing my base layer long-sleeve shirt, a short-sleeve t-shirt, and my long-sleeve t-shirt for work today. I know I am being silly and stubborn, but I psychologically cannot wear my winter puffer jacket. OTOH, I am charging up my hand warmers...

:waving1 Hello and good morning, O-zies!! We had a successful and uneventful time at the DMV yesterday. We were in and out in around a half an hour. Gary brought his 6 points of ID and they didn't even look at it, only his license and insurance. Now I have to wait for my insurance company to...

helloOOOO my lOves! I think I slept really well last night because I don't feel like I am dragging my butt through a vat of maple syrup. It's more like a vat of Shop Rite's Pancake syrup, definitely not as dense. LOL How was everyone's Monday? Mine didn't feel like a Monday at all. I worked on...

How in the world is it Monday again?? I swear I just typed Monday here a day ago. (Oh. It's quite possible that I actually typed "Monday" in one of my day-date mind messes.) But it really feels like last week flew past in a blink. Did your week zip by you, too? The weekend went crazy fast as...

So-- when I asked for rain, I didn't want it all at once! hahah! We are currently under storm watches and warnings from today until Monday. Inland NJ shouldn't get hit too badly but the shore forecasts look downright nasty. I am glad we made it down last week. If we had plans for this upcoming...

:brrr: What a change in the weather. (and I won't complain, I promise I won't complain. Awww, heck, you know I am gonna complain about the cold, who am I trying to kid?) I woke to the first hard frost of the season. And yes, we were close to 80* just a few days ago. But I have one thing to be...

The weather is changing everywhere! It is freezing here ATM (feels that way even if not accurately by temperature) but we have a Freeze Warning for tonight. I'd better bring my basil plant inside today. The tomatoes and pepper plants that I started too late in the spring are producing and...

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!????!!!!!! It is raining!!! :dancing6: Today's field trip is postponed, but I don't even mind at all. I am sooo happy that it is raining. For the GS program the other day, we had to record the date that it last rained. I checked the historical weather record and it was...

Okay, I double-checked, and it is indeed Tuesday. I feel more out of sync than usual this morning. (Is it morning? Sure is dark outside!) But yeah, I got it right today. :D After being away for a few days, not cleaning for my friend on Wednesday, and then working on Sunday, I feel...

My DD is severely anemic and has next to no iron in her blood. The hematologist told her thankfully, her hemoglobin was decent because, based on the ferritin levels, she would be on the floor otherwise. She will be starting iron infusions soon but she wants to increase her iron intake as well...

Hello hello!! How are you all doing today? I am good, a little bit of a headache and my voice is still somewhat hoarse. I think I yelled and walked, walked and yelled for 4 hours straight at work yesterday. And had a blast the entire time. :greengrin: The Girl Scout troop program was awe-some! I...

Hello, O-friends and fam! ♥ I hope everyone is feeling well-rested and ready for the weekend. Another sunny and dry day is on tap for my area. The drought is getting worse and we now have fire and water restrictions. Everything was pretty crunchy outside yesterday. The field trip went great...

Ooooh boy, it is Autumn weather for sure! At least it is for the next 24 hours. We will be back in the upper 70s over the weekend. But right now, it is 40*. I'm glad that I'll be working outside in the sun today. It will be warmer out there than it will be in here. I was at my desk much of...

I am back! And I have to admit, it doesn't seem like you missed me. At ALL! :rotfl: I read through the last three days of the Ooos and I think everyone has more fun when I am not here. Mayhem and ketchup. Ketchup and more mayhem. :giggle4: I missed you guys very much. I was heartbroken that I...

Another drive-by greeting from me. :motorcycle: :waving3: I am mostly packed, and only a mild-moderate case of anxiety over what is actually in my suitcase and what I have forgotten. I was texting BFF yesterday and she was enabling me to bring more and more. Her very valid observation -- you are...

I'm here which means I didn't have a heart attack or run away before we had our presentation. :claphands2: What a fun and informative day- the conference was amazing. It was held at a Girl Scout Campground and there were plenty of pretty spaces to be in. (Not as pretty as Weis Property but...

just popping in super-quick to say good morning! I have to leave here around 6.30 so I literally (ok, this time it was *not* literally) inhaled two mugs of coffee before I need to pack up my bag. The prep meeting went well, I think I have my portion of the presentation settled. Nicole said that...

:gloomy: <~ Not me but the weather It's been a little rainy so far this morning, and we should expect some showers on and off throughout the day. Yes!! Finally! And luckily for us, it's going to be sunny tomorrow (hot and humid but that's all right!). Part of our presentation is looking for...

Oh, thank *goodness*-- my Crankypants are in the wash, which means I am safe to be around today. :greengrin: I was in a yucky mood most of the morning but it eased up in the afternoon. No thanks to the yoga video I did. hmmmph. I found a "Yoga for Anger" video by the woman whose YouTube channel...

Ahhhh! I am still tired and cranky, and I am trying not to be. :tongue3: Sunday kinda fried my brain and small family drama annoyed the **** out of me. I was still feeling it yesterday. When I went to bed, I told myself I had the day to be irritated, so now get over it. That didn't work...
