Ghoulies Are Turkey Trottin' Through November (Page 6)

Aaaaah!  That means you will be seeing Neal <3 soon, or is he already there?

Get the work done and then you can play guilt free. 

It is soooo quiet in here. I think maybe it's beause you all are missing me so much. It's hard to type through the tears.

I am trying to get back on the bandwagon and actually do some workouts. I got one workout in this week so far. Hopefully the meeting at work in an hour won't make me want to crawl in bed and pull the covers over my head. I've gained a little weight and NEED to get rid of it, not to mention I'd love to get back to the fitness level I had a year ago.  

We do miss you here in the village.  You need to visit more often.  I hope the meeting went well and you are inspired rather than crawling into bed.

Well, anyone in their right mind would be extremely respectful of a dog Milo's size.  I had a german shephard run at me last night on my run.  I immediately stopped, turned around and went the other way, and the doggie, thank goodness, stayed in his yard.  It was dusk so he really scared me cause I did not see him coming until we were almost on top of each other.  I walked away saying "good doggie, good doggie"

Morning!

The house guest just left. Last day of work before the weekend.

Yippee!

WOOHOO!!!

Today is the day that the world (here) changes from its fall wardrobe to its "winter look'.

The wind is wicked today and the leaves are going... going.... almost gone.

It's always sad to see the color leave the trees.  We arent' that far behind you here.

Good day Ghoulies!

Negative for today - Woke up today and my shoulder and neck went out (from a 28 year old injury that comes and goes.)  So I've been trying the Pinook on it to see if it helps.  So far problem is still here, but maybe it won't stick around as long as it usually does.

Positive for today - went christmas shopping at Coldwater Creek.  Picked up two outfits for my hubby to give me at xmas.  The pants were a size 10, the jackets medium, and the shirt medium.  I am a happy happy person right now. 

Wine Toppage!!!

Happy Vet's day all.

A funny story for Veteran's Day:

While we were in DC on Holloween, we were walking to the subway and we met up with a family going the same direction we were. There was a father holding a little space man's hand, Mom with a little witch in tow and a set of Grandparents. The father was very obviously of military bearing. They were laughing about a cake. The mother explained to us what was so funny as it was obviously an inside joke. A couple of years ago, the Dad retired from the Marines. They had a small party and a cake was ordered from the local store bakery. The person taking the order did not understand the order so the Wife spelled it out: S-e-m-p-e-r F-i {leave a space} G-u-n-n-e-y.

They picked up the cake and it read: SEMPER FI SPACE GUNNEY!

I still laugh.

Sorry I was MIA today Ghoulies!

The kids and I were off so we did stuff.

I need to stay out of COJ for a few days. I keep reading the Penn State thread and it is pizzing me off. How anyone can still defend the covering up of boys being molested just has my head spinning. Joe Paterno is not a scapegoat! He absolutely deserved to lose his job, so does a lot of other people around there. I have never been a PSU fan, and I will never be, but the school, and the football program deserve better. If my child was planning on going there next fall there is no way that would happen if those who failed in their responsibilities to protect children were still there.

I agree.

Morning Ghoulies.

It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Hopefully the DH and I will get the boats out so we can paddle on the lake today. That is if the wind isn't to strong. That can make it mighty cold out there.

Have great Saturday's all.

Morning Ghoulies.  Was running around all day yesterday with christmas shopping, lunch with friend, packing for trip and then cooking.  Got the dessert all ready for tonight, but my neck and shoulder are still bad, and since I'm working this weekend I told hubby that I don't think I can make the party tonight.  He does not seem too disappointed.  I even said he could go on his own, but he said no, he would stay with me.  What a sweetie.

Anyway, I have four dresses that I fit into to wear in Mexico for dinners.  One of the dresses I have never worn.  Bought it about 10 years ago anticipating losing enough weight to get into in and steadily went in the other direction.  but now it fits.  yahoo!

Goooooooood morning Ghoulies!

I almost got caught yesterday. My husband and kids were out last evening, and he told me they wouldn't be home until about 7:30. I was in the living room putting music in the iPod we got our daughter for Christmas at 7:00 when they walked in the door. I hid her iPod between my leg and the chair quick, and waited until she went back the hallway to disconnect and hide it. I will have to be more careful. I did get books on my son's Nook, that's what he is getting.

Played soccer for 2 hours on Saturday. I'll let you in on a little secret... Brazilians are very good at soccer. We had fun though, the people who run the Jiu Jitsu classes for the kids came and played with us, and one of the girls from class, too. The adults did a great job at stealing the ball and taking it down field, but they would pass to the kids and let them shoot on the goal. That was nice of them. We played until the sun went down. I haven't run that much in a very long time. I was dying by the time we were done.
