GHOULIES moving towards the islands. (Page 54)

I have a sore throat. I had ice cream for dinner last night and went to bed at 8:00. I'm at work today, but VERY happy I get to stay home tomorrrow.

We were planning on going down to my sister's to watch my nephew play soccer on Saturday. Those plans may change.

For some reason that made me smile! Being overworked sucks. I hope you hear, favorably, about those jobs soon!

yes you do. Key West is not that far off, really.

NONONONONO ...  NO! You may NOT get sick. You MAY leave work, but you MAY NOT get sick.

Hi Robin.

What's happening in beautiful NC today?

Not much today. It is rainy today so my sampling event was cancelled. Just office work and catching up  today.

It is all quiet and echo-y in here. I am off tomorrow, so I am going to try to get some yardwork done around here and make my Halloween costume made for the Saturday party. Have fabulous FFFridays!

Some Ghoulie news.

Ghoulie Bill is doing the bike leg of the Beach to Battleship Ironman in Wilmington this weekend. Send him some Ghoulie love.

One of my BT friends and his girlfriend are doing the whole thing. I was going to try to get there and rah in person but that is a long way from here and I have way to much to catch up on here. I also have another BT friend who is staying at one of the cottages this weekend. It is going to be a B-uT-ful weekend

Good morning Ghoulies!

WFH today, WOOT!

Yes Robin, it is too quiet in here. WAKE UP THE GHOULIES!

Morning Ghoulies.

Hi Ann

Happy FFFFriday!

Woot!

Is that an echo I hear?

Right now, the hip is doing better after the cortizone shot.  The real test will be to see how it is in a couple of days.  I might even try a run tomorrow to see how it is.

Sunday my hubby is doing his Century Ride and I will be working the event from 9 to 3.  I figured that since I have to hang around I might as well be helpful for most of that time.  From noon to 3 my assignment is to greet the riders at the finish line. 

Morning Ghoulies.

I am going slow today. It looks like the sinus infection is BACK.... AGAIN!!! I have to find the root of this and fix it, it has been going on too long. Hopefully I will get some of the chores done I have to do, then we have a wake and a political function to go to. Also, hopefully, I will feel up to sitting around the fire-pit later this evening to watch comets.

Have lovely days, all!

Totally SUCKTASTIC on the sinus infection, Robin.

I hope you feel well enough to sit around the fire pit and watch comets, too.

Good Morning Ghoulies!

The fall has come here in the last few weeks.  I am already tired of the rain!  However, yesterday they were forecasting heavy rain and wind, and it was actually a fairly dry day with little wind.  Pouring down this morning though.

I have this morning off.  I think I will have to go to the grocery store. 

I'm bored this morning, so I'm reading about day packs: choosing them, packing them, etc. Some of the articles I have read about what to pack in a day pack would get you killed if you were stranded in the woods overnight, or for a few guys. In one article the author goes on a rant on why it is not necessary to pack food in your pack unless you are going to be out in the woods for a week or more. I STRONGLY disagree with this. You need nourishment. Also, when you are cold consuming calories can help warm you up. If you're undernourished and/or cold, you aren't thinking clearly. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that thinking clearly will help you get out of a bad situation.

I understand some of the authors were trying to cut down the weight in the packs, but I do not think that a bag of beef jerky, some dried fruit, and some protein bars are really not too much to carry with you.

Good morning, Dee. Been wondering where you were.

Grocery shopping in the rain is NOT FUN.

Robin, sorry about your sinus infection.  That's been going on for a long time!  Do you use a neti pot?

Ann, super exciting about Keri and the softball.  Is it going any smoother with here current team?

Melindy, get better fast!

Kendra, enjoy story time!  I had to laugh at you biting off heads like a ghoulie!

Amy and Jules, and any other ghoulies,  HI!!!

No it isn't, but it is common for most of the year around here!

I agree, the possible benefits outweigh any added weight a little bit of food might make!

Her softball season is over for now. She will play closer to home in the spring. She is actually excited about it, because she knew all the girls on the team last year, she goes to school with them.

I don't think we are going to do the travel team thing until she is older. I was doing some researching, and kids are also seen by going to camps. There are 2 colleges nearby that hold summer camps, one of them being Gettysburg College, where my husband works. She can be a day-camper and go with him in the mornings. I spoke with some former travel team players and you have no other life than your travel team. She's 9. We like to keep active AND well rounded. I'm not going to commit her to anything that demanding until she is old enough to understand what is going on. I think doing it now could burn her out.
