~The Daily Grind~ 7/8/10

P&PD for all those needing it.

It's The Day Before Friday!!

It's still stinkin' hot outside! It's like walking into an oven! I guess they think it's getting better because we aren't having a heat "warning" today, it's just a heat "watch". It's all just "hot" to me!

I'm headed to the beach after work today for a long weekend. DH is already down. I'll be back on Sunday night. Then I'm starting my last 2 week pay period on dayshift when I get back...10 dayshifts! Not that I'm counting or anything...


My list for today:

Caffeinate...This repeats everyday

Swish and Swipe... this is the habit of the month for July...

Keep to my points

Work till 3p

Head to the beach

My plans there

Dinner- Whatever DH has planned...

Have a Great Day everyone!!

[morgansmom2000]

10 more shifts! Yay!

Wings! Yummy, now I want wings!

I'm not working today and I'm up way too early for a day off.

We have the pass for the farm, but holy smokes, the price went WAAAAAAAAAAY up. Adding the fact that we need to drive nearly an hour to get there (and then an hour back), I'm thinking we may do something else...My sister is still away, so we have use of the pool, but DH went and got burned to a delicate crisp yesterday...Men. There is a zoo nearby. But, see previous posts about heat and I'm thinking smelly zoo or smelly farm or clean pool?

Hope everyone has a terrific Thursday!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Deb, have fun at the beach.

MM, I'd vote for pool rather than zoo or farm.

Clean out pantry
Pick up Montana pictures
Organize Montana pictures

Dust for Blythe and all the others who need it.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Pixie Dust for Blythe and all who are in need.

Give blood today.
Take books to half price. Thinking maybe $15 out of 7 full boxes of books. They never give us good prices for the books, but something is better than nothing.
No exercising today.
Finish cutting pieces for layout and start on next one.
Fix dinner.
Look at pile of laundry and sigh. It will take forever to get it all done. We are still in the laying down the cut tile phase. Turns out putting the mortar on the back takes way longer than slapping it down on the floor. Maybe after the weekend before the grouting gets done.


Enjoy your day, every one try to stay cool.

 

[rlovew]

Good Morning!

Have a great day and keep cool!

Today:
doctor's- having my physical
maybe shopping- depending on how I am feeling after doctor
stop by and try and fix a friends purse
swimming lessons

Rebecca

 

[icesk8abc]

Good Morning!

AWM - I have found at half-price that if you take them in a box at a time, they will rarely give you less that $5 a box, but if you take them all in at once, you're right - about $15-$20. It's a pain to go several times, but you get a little more $.

Today -
Cut more pieces for Character Swap
Pull paper for Sketch swap
visit friend's new house being built and sign the foundation
lunch with friend
go up to school and work on the new curriculum stuff with friend
dust/sweep/mop
dinner out with friends

Hey! not a bad day

 

[Pixieflip]

Sorry to be so absent lately. My grandpa passed away very suddenly and our trips to Ohio and back for the funeral and then to Chicago and back for the 4th have overwhelmed me. I feel like I was just getting the hang of this thread! Summer is hard to be consistent with anything!

Today's list:

• drive Campus Life freshman to lake house
  [*]pick up portraits at Costco
  [*]deliver portraits to customer's office
  [*]bank
  [*]trade product with another consultant, Jeanette
  [*]bake cake for DD12's party tomorrow
• make house presentable (whatever that means at this point!) for party tomorrow
• pick up kids at the lake house

If I can accomplish the above list, my reward is to allow myself some free time on the DIS to plan our next trip to WDW!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Today..

Pull 4-H photos to be printed
Make DD go thru the pull photos she needs printed for scrapbooking project
DD photo shoot of her consumer clothing (evening when cooler)


then just whatever, not in the mood for a list today!!!

OK gotta get cracking.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Sorry for your loss Pixieflup.


Couldn't give blood today. My red blood count is low. I'm 36 and you need between 38-55. This stupid diet for my cholesterol is really messing with me.

I got a whopping $25 of which I promptly spend $22 on new books.

I did get to Target to get some wicking and UV protection shirts and shorts for the boys. Going to WDW for two weeks means I don't have enough clothes and I'm not doing laundry more than once. I hate doing laundry here and the room at WL it tiny, like two washing machines tiny.

 

[Pixieflip]

Got all my running around done! Those tasks have been hanging around my neck for too long. DONE!

Couple more things and then off to DS15's double header tonight. And gymnastics.

 

[Pixieflip]

Sorry for your loss Pixieflup.

.

Thank you. It's a tough one. The more you love, the more it hurts, even though he's now with my sweet grandma in heaven...I just miss them both. Until we meet again... that's what we say now.

 

[morgansmom2000]

So sorry to hear about your Grandpa, Pixie.

I was outvoted - and since I made the cruise decision on my own, I pretty much let them have it. They didn't want to do the pool, so we went to the mall and out for lunch instead. Got a new Minnie t-shirt and some shower gel from Bath & Body Works. M got some skorts and shirts at Macy's and DH got to go to the comic book store. All in all, a good trip.

If only I hadn't had to go to the dentist this morning

 

[morgansmom2000]

Oh, and I've been to AG, but we just did dinner and a little shopping. For the quality of the food, it was VERY expensive. You're paying for the atmosphere, though...

that is a nice way to think of them! I, too, am sorry for your loss.

Thanks! I think we will do it. Too bad I didn't join that group in the last swap!

danggit.

Should be fun. A long day, but fun.

 

[Lisa]

Um, Deb, there is something very important from your picture of what you are doing this weekend. You need a libation of choice in your hand!

visit friend's new house being built and sign the foundation

What a great idea, wish I had thought of that when we built our house.

Sorry to be so absent lately. My grandpa passed away very suddenly and our trips to Ohio and back for the funeral and then to Chicago and back for the 4th have overwhelmed me. I feel like I was just getting the hang of this thread! Summer is hard to be consistent with anything!

So sorry for your loss. I am sure your Grandpa is with your Grandma discussing what a great family they have.

I know I've been absent. For the past two weeks I've been really concentrated on my genealogy research. Came across several death certificates for members of DH family. It pays to pick up the research after a time of being away from it.

My to do list today:

Feed cats
Get DD up and ready for school
Drop off "sample" to the vet
work
Mail out DD's paperwork
Eye doctor. Oh my goodness, the technicians and I gabbed the whole time.
Load of laundry into the dryer
