Happy Birthday Mr. Tom

I think we all can make changes for the better in our lives. I believe that I am a better person because of my dog Tom. I did not know when I got him that he could have such an impact on my life but he has, and I love him and am a better person because I know him.

So happy birthday Mr Tom, hope you have a happy and healthy life !

Just a little afternoon rant

So Jenn and I both have the day off. How great it was to sleep in and wake up next to her knowing we were off the entire day while most people were miserable at work.

Lucy was happy to see the both of us too, and Matty slept in we let him stay up an hour past his bed time.

Jenn and I awoke to the smell of fresh coffee and to a blanket of snow and cold weather. Life in upstate NY is weird and while I should be used to it I am not, just last week we were about 65 degrees now a week later it is snowy and 35 degrees. Weird Huh ??

Jenn brought in what was left on our porch. Flowers were dead, and stuff had to come in because of the snow. While she did that, I cleaned a bit and showered. I am only washing my hair every other day. I have heard so many times that it is better for your hair and so I am going to have an open mind and try it. In a few we will be heading to some shops to get some more christmas shopping out of the way, and then come home to a veggie stew I prepared this morning and left cooking in a crock pot, I should get some crusty french bread too while we are out.

Mr. Toms b-day is Thursday. He will be six and of course family and friends will be coming over, and we all can not wait especailly Matty, any excuse to fill treat bags for himself and his cousins makes him a very happy little boy.

Well I need to get some things done before we shop, love to all who enter here.

Stay away from sharp objects

So today I had the day off. I know most of you find humor in that seeing that I never really work. I am happy being home and doing what I need to do. It is my life and my lifre is good.

Today however I had to get fasting bloodwork done. I do not, I repeat DO NOT like needles. I am so scared, I want to wet myself everytime a healthcare provider comes near me. I know I annoy them with my behavior but who the hell cares. I don’t like needles and thats that.

So I got my blood work done and I was surprised I made it home, I had three tubes taken out of me and felt a little funky. Maybe it was all in my head or maybe it was the fact that I had not had anything to eat since 6pm the night before. Whatever the reason I was happy to get home and have some coffee, and n nice warm breakfast. Oatmeal with cut up strawberries, a small yogurt, and I hard boiled egg. For those of you reading YES I am on my health kick again thank you very much !! And am luvin it. I feel great. I have upped the walking from the two mile Leslie Sansone DVD to the three mile. Today despite the bloodwork/ blood loss I did it. I have been doing it now for about a month and it is great.

I just feel great too. Who could have thought that the experts are right !!, exercising makes us look better AND feel better.

Tonight after dinner Jenn and I are going to check out a place near us a gym open 24/7. Now that sounds like fun.

I have the day off tomorrow. Go ahead and laugh, and will be seeing a friend I have not seen in about a year.I can’t wait and am also looking forward to having the day to put away some of my fall decorations clean a bit and start figuring out how I will be decorating for Christamas. Oh and I get to sleep in. Don’t get jealous !!!
