The very best few min. of the day
You know I called my parents this morning to say Good Morning and Have a Wonderful day! I think those few minutes were the best ones spent today! I am sad to not be working but you know I think I am going to try really hard to go out and visit them more often this summer. Of course I will be going out there Sunday for Mother�s Day and will take her plant for her hook, this is a given bought her the hook a few years ago and I just go buy her a plant now every Mother�s Day. I am so excited about doing her book too, I need to get all organized before Sat. I want to get all the photos I want to put in the book printed so that I could work my butt off at the crop. I am thinking maybe it will be not so bad if I go alone that way I can work and not feel like I need to entertain someone. I think it�s is a plan. I�m not sure if I shared my photo of my parents or my mom and I but I have one here at my desk and I am so blessed for having wonderful parents.
Now please permit me some bragging time here� I colored my sister in law�s hair last night and she was telling me that my nephew was on Good Morning America. How cool is that? I don�t think he knew it was going to happen because he didn�t tell any of us! That brat I would have loved to seen it. From what Judy can gather it was a rather short clip of him demonstrating his bioscience thing he developed. I guess what he demonstrated was they took a pig head or skin or something showing sagging from nerve damage and with what it is they made it stopped the sagging. I am thinking it will be used in Bells Palsy patients or stroke patients to help their appearance. What he really would like to see himself doing is developing a electronic thing in the brain to help run the nerves in people with strokes and the like. He also want to work on a project that would develop a transmitter that would work with the nervous system to operate prosthesis hands, arms, legs, feet, and even eye lids to work on thought. That would be cool don�t have a clue how it would work but hey it sounds cool. He will graduate from Pitt sometime this spring summer with his masters degree, but says he isn�t going to it because it is one of those generic no pomp and circumstance ceremonies, but he is going to keep going for his doctorate *is that right?* degree, so we can celebrate that one! I have went to many many of his grad parties. He is such a cool person too! I was telling Judy I can brag about changing his diapers! He was such a cutie as a kid, well he still is. Ok I�m done bragging.
I�ve been working my tail off and sometimes I think I�m not getting a thing done. I have another appointment this afternoon then I want to see if I can get these files all opened. OYY!! I only have a ton of them to open. Ok maybe not a ton but I am thinking 20 something. I shouldn�t have let it get this outta hand. I did take over the data base so I am going to keep that up to date so I don�t have trouble with that. BL wants a print out. I also need a filing cabinet but well she wont� tell M. to get it from the basement. I figure this isn�t my job to do so I will just let them keep stacking up. Maybe when the full time person gets in here they will want a filing cabinet and it will get done.
You know I have this nagging thought in my brain and it is making me nuts. They need a full time person here, and my friend K. would be good at this I think, but I don�t want to take the responsibility for the outcome if she hates it here or something. I do think she would be good at it. She has great people skills and has had office jobs before and this is full time except that she won�t be making much and have no insurance. I am thinking I need to keep my mouth shut, I did put the bug in her ear about a full time position her opening; although if she keeps up with the school she might eventually get a full time position as an aide. I think I need to mind my own business huh??
I have been doing well counting points this week, heh,, it is only Tues. haha,, but I didn�t do to horribly bad over the weekend. I think I am about 30 lbs. behind where I wanted to be at this time. I wish I had been more diligent through the holidays and that way it wouldn�t have taken me so long to get back to being dedicated. I wasn�t gaining but I wasn�t losing. I know about the plateaus and what not but I also know I wasn�t doing the best I could have done and I at times didn�t drink the water, and that is a big thing. My 1 yr. anniversary is May 5, 2005 which is Thursday. I am hoping I can say I have lost 60 lbs at that point. I�m sorta really close, I have like 5 lbs to go, and somehow I�m thinking that won�t do it! I guess 55 lbs in a year is acceptable. I can�t believe it has been a year already. I guess that would be one down the rest of my life to go! I said I was going to have a party when I hit #200 I have about 13 more to go to get there! I was planning on inviting my sister and sister in law that got me started and a few other friends and family and do everything low fat and vege! The funny thing is I would so much like to know if anyone would know everything I made was fat free??!!
Well I think I have rambled on long enough and want to read some diaries if the site will load.
Always remember and never forget� if you do things as you go along then you don�t ever have to play catch up!
