Yesterday went to Hades in a handbasket here! (1) I got up early for my dentist appointment, but learned it had been mis-scheduled. (2) Some IDIOT apparently dropped off two precious kitties right at my front door -- I heard a strange cell phone ring, and when my dogs would not stop barking at the door, I went out to check and found the poor creatures, crying pitifully. I spent over a half hour trying to capture them to take them to a shelter -- in fact, I DID capture them and put them into a box, but they were able to squeeze out of it, and I couldn't risk having them loose in my car, so I let them go and left water out. Nothing else I could do at that point. Still feels terrible. (3) Then I got to the office and found that a builder wanted to cancel a listing he had given me only 2 months ago -- this is the 2nd time he has apparently used me to get property into the multi-list service for a while and then withdrew so he didn't have to pay me. And he's the 2nd builder to do that to me. I must have "STUPID" written on my forehead! And, when I went to pick up my sign, I found he had already removed it and dumped it aside, bending a perfectly good sign.
So I came home after work, drank 2 Ultra beers (about 5 carbs) and after a low carb dinner, (4) I ATE A COOKIE. Oh, thank goodness I could stop at one! But it does point out how IMPORTANT it is to keep your house SAFE if you can! When you have a tough day, having cookies or other bad snacks around makes it way to easy to fail. Normally, I can't find anything too bad, even if I want it -- and I'm too lazy to make a special trip to the store to get something. That is built-in "will power"!
Well, tomorrow we're loading up and will be off to the lake (right after my re-scheduled dentist appointment!) It will also be my birthday. They usually don't bother me, in fact they NEVER bother me . . . but . . . and I haven't been telling most people . . . this one is the big "6-0" and somehow I can't get my mind around it. I'm not ready to be OLD. Not ready at all.
Talk to ya again when we get back! I hope to see lots of pounds lost (on YOU) when I return!

Sorry you had such a rough day, but you did well to stop at the one cookie. I agree with safeguarding the house, but I wonder how couples and families manage it in a shared household. I hope you have a great trip to the lake. Happy Birthday!!! You are so young and beautiful -- don't let the number get to you!

Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful trip! I hope today is a much better day. If you try to catch the kittens again, have air holes in the box ahead of time, and tape up the top of the box so they can't get out. It would be great if you can get them! I agree, too, about safeguarding the house. In the past, I did have to sidestep the goodies my husband brought in the house. Now he's with the program, so the house is safe!

My husband's family is in real-estate. I think you need to include a special clause to cover yourself in the listing agreement. Talk to other agents about how they handle the situation, but that is what they do here. If they don't agree to it, then you know they are just there to take advantage of you. Happy Birthday! I think at 50 you can start counting backwards, so that would make you 40! Happy 40th! Have fun at the lake. Good job stopping at one cookie!

absolutely agree with sararay- i'm and electrician and i quote by the hour/hour mininum. I'm not taking the time to drive strap on tools for a 20min job- believe you me, your time is just as valuable, and that guy is taking undue advantage for sure. I tell ya- these days it appaling the lack of character some peoples kids display! Have an Awsome trip!!!

Well you certainly deserved both beer and cookies! What a day to forget!!!! Okay now, hit the "reset" button, and have a blast at the lake. 60 is sexy and you know it! Now shout it to the world as you run around in a thong bikini!

Sorry you had such a bad day, hon. I can't stand it when people just drop off animals they don't want. It's a sin! And that son of a "B" builder, shame, shame on him! No wonder you had beer and a cookie. I don't blame you one bit! Tomorrow you can take off for the lake and leave all that nasty stuff behind you and have a GREAT time! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND! Age is just a number. You're as old as you feel, baby!!! If I look as great as you when I get to 60 I'll be one HAPPY gal!! :)
