Happy....uh...what day is it today?? OH yah! WEdnesday!! HaPPY Wednesday! This week is flying by! I had some trouble with 3 water stations in the nursery yesterday, which took all my time and energy, so all those bushes and perennials never received a home! I have to take my son to the doc today to get his stitches out and all that gory stuff...so I imagine I'll get home just as the sun begins to set. That will allow me enough time to water them and MAYBE even sing a few songs to them...for good measure! LOL

We're going through another heat wave here as the thermometer climbs up into the triple digits. It's so HARD on the plants and trees when that happens. NOt to mention how hard it is on me! I sweat buckets while I'm out there! (I DRINK BUCKET-FULLS TOO!!)

I'm getting more than my fair share of exercise lately with all the sudden changes going on at work, and added things to the list that need to be done...so diet-wise, things are wonderful! I eat a fairly big breakfast of 2 scrambled eggs stir-fried with finely chopped veggies on a low-carb tortilla (I've been skipping the cheese lately though, because it's giving me a stomach-ache!), with salsa. And the next thing I know, it's approaching 7pm and I'm starving for dinner. That's the way it's been every single day for a few weeks now. The heat has EVERYTHING to do with the total lack of apppitite for most of the day. It's very hard to deal with and I'm constantly having to soak myself with the hose, to keep from overheating.

Dinner last night turned out to be a fun event. When we all get together, the laughs are pretty much non-stop and at some points, i'm sure the waitress would love to see us go! LOL I had a chicken salad and couldn't care less about the pasta (I'm not a pasta person...never have been!) that everyone else was eating. After a day in the heat, even that salad was hard to eat! BUT I did have 2 beers...Michelob Ultra Light! Only 2.5 carbs and 95 calories!! Can't beat that, right?? My fingers are swollen today from it, but who cares! The going has been a little tough for me lately, so I was long overdue to get a little tipsy!!

I need to thank you all for your support the other day. Some of you sent me some letters of concern because I deleted that stupid journal...It surely didn't mean that I did not value your opinions or advice!!! Quite the Contrary, actually! It was nothing to worry about; For me, it was the equivelant of writing it all down, and then tearing it up and throwing it away! Made me feel better...and smile!!

HUGS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!! Now, can someone tell me how many challenges I've joined lately?? I'm sorry ahead of time for bowing out of most of them...for now! Give me another month or two when things begin to slow down...AND IT'S ON!!! :)

BAD ANDEE...OVER AND OUT!
