Had to take Abbie (chihauhua) to the vet. She needed her rabies & some boosters. 4 shots poor thing.

K9 - Thanks for the list of books. I wrote them down. Are you on Goodreads? I'll have to check. Have you talked to the supervisor yet? I'm glad that WHN is doing better. So hard when our child is not happy.

Mama - nice that Clay & Trina are back together. Hope your day was much better today. Such a sweet story about Papa Bear rocking Clay & singing.

Pauly - isn't that interesting that your client was a drinker. I guess there are so many of us out there. Glad Louie only has a cold. There is so much stuff going around right now.

Dottie - I'm with you about the shopping. I can't stand it. Stay warm.

FT - sory that the checkers wore you out. :H Good that you are working out to get in shape for the next round of checkers.

Liz - sad about the inlaws house. :l Things like that are so very hard.

Allswell - I really can't believe that you have clients that don't pay. That is ridiculous. You sound like you are busy all the time.

IAD - been thinking about you. Anxious to hear how it went. :h

I have been so tired. Just feel like I need a burst of energy. I haven't been regular with the gym since I came back from my Mom's though. Hopefully that will help.

Guess it's time to read. Love you all - you mean so much to me. :h

I cannot imagine having teenage daughters... that is terrifying. Just keeping up with lovely Sierra/Adina/WHN is a full time job!!:H:h

One Step at a Time - December 2013

I know Mama, Sierra/Adina/WHN is keeping us ALL busy isn't she?
I'm glad Trina and Clay are back together...I hope things work out. I DO remember my first love...ahhh...I was 15 and his name was Scott. I thought I'd die when we "broke up". Thankfully WHN hasn't gone through that heartbreak YET.

At least it's 11 there Mama...it's only 8 here...but I guess you were up and about while I was in lala land. lol

Nora, Pauly, Liz, FT, Tony...check in when you can! FT - Any checkers planned in the near future? Extreme Checkers, that should be a sport.

Good afternoon gang,
Feeling a little low today but planning to get my butt on the treadmill as it helps me feel better.
K9 - Extreme Checkers... interesting. I am back home but we are going to try and get together later this month be it here or up north.
Hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend, reading your posts makes me feel better.

Hey all, still at work. My boss is off today so how does that saying go? When the cats away the mice will play. I finished everything now just clock watching. Our party is tonight. No big deal, dinner and grab bag. Still kinda looking forward to it.

Mama glad the kids are back together and yes it's tough having girls! The boy is much easier. Dottie stay safe, hope that weathers not headed my way. Pauly the mall this time of year yuk! Have a good afternoon all.
