    Re: One Step at a Time - November 2017

    Good Morning and Happy Sunday To All My Stepping Friends!:sohappy:

    Liz-so delighted that you had a great birthday celebration with your sisters. Is it back to work tomorrow?
    [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION]-I love having your here with us.:hug:I really missed your friendship. Is Sid on FOX Business News with Imus, too? I might be able to catch the show before I leave for work tomorrow.
    [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION]-you asked what I do for a living that I travel so much. Without providing too much detail because I am a really private person, I do business management assessing and consulting. For many years, I did this in the automotive industry and my career took me to Japan, England, France and Spain on a regular basis. The company I was seeing in Alexandria designs and builds ships for the Navy, and interestingly enough, they are competing with Lockheed Martin on a $600M project to upgrade Canada's aging warships.

    Glassie-So good to see you...I think it's so cool that you turned your yoga and pilates studio into a nursery, too. How is the thesis coming along? Didn't you have a deadline this month?

    Thank you so much for your support in dealing with my client's obnoxious boss. I contacted the Chief Operating Officer on Friday morning and told him that Mike was being verbally and physically abusive, and that I was writing a scathing report about him that the COO had to address by the middle of January. The COO was very apologetic and removed Mike from his role in my assessment. I will never have to deal with him again. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! One of his employees told me later in the day that he threw a file folder at the woman who heads the Procurement Dept. She went to HR and he was required to go to anger mgt. counseling. Um, I think he needs to go every day for a year!!!! I am grateful to have this client: They continue to give me more business and everyone except this jerk treats me like gold. This client has also gone through downsizing and a complete management change, and if the former COO, who was a 3-Star Admiral in the Navy, had been there, Mike would have been fired immediately for his inappropriate behavior.

    I am off to grocery shop and work out...so big hellos to Nora, Guitarista, [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION], Pauly, and anyone I missed...happy AF Sunday!!

      Happy birthday Liz!!! hope it's been a great one so far,I usually take the whole week for my birthday! Glassie,great to see you,I think that the personality that babies/kids have now is the same one they have as adults seems my kids' demeanor now is the same they has as babies,I feel like my personality now is the same as when I was a kid,if course there's lifestyle changes and other changes but the core thoughts and temperament seems the same,Rusty I'm still wrangling this cold,it comes and goes throughout the day,left work at 11 yesterday cuz I was so dizzy,it was slow anyways probably cuz of Veteran's day,glad you got the situation cleared up with that boss from hell haha hi Nora,wishing everyone a happy AF Sunday

      I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:

        Good morning loves and thank you for the birthday wishes! My birthday was actually 10/28, my sisters was 11/6. So we have essentially been celebrating since October 22. The diet begins in earnest this week.

        Dill, I am so happy you are here with us!!!!

        Pauly, I totally agree with you about personalities. It's so exciting to see Logan's personality emerging a little more each time we see him. He seems to be like his dad, pretty laid back. I adore watching him "evolve", truly miraculous.

        FaceTimed with CJ and Joe this morning. They are doing well and networking! They have met some really nice people it seems and everyone is helping everyone. I asked her if she was happy and she beamed and said yes! A momma would know if that weren't the truth and I believe her. I must admit I did cry after we hung up and am somewhat melancholy now. Life is just soo different now. I miss her a lot. For the most part I'm doing ok, it's ok to be sad sometimes too right?

        Off to church and then to my parents. There's a problem with their water heater. Daddy used to be able to handle such things, he now can not. That makes me sad too! Thanks for letting me vent. I am learning it is important to "let it out" and not let things fester. Done with my venting, I am now putting a smile on my face and will fake it till I make it!

        Have a great AF day!

          Back from grocery shopping. Have not made it to the gym yet.

          Liz-yes, it is essential to let things out and not fester...festering caused me to drink. How great that CJ and Joe seem so happy. I can imagine you miss her a lot.:hug: So sad to see our parents unable to do the things they used to do with ease. I'm glad you live close enough to your parents to be able to help with the water heater. I talked to my mom this morning and I got melancholic, too. She told me she doesn't want to put up her little Christmas tree this year, even though my sister and I are the ones who always put it up and take it down. She says a tree is too much work. :-( The aging process, YUCK.

          Pauly-I hope you get over your cold soon. My sinuses do not adjust well to the abrupt changes in weather.

          Hi to our guy friends: [MENTION=7261]Guitarista[/MENTION], [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION], [MENTION=21602]abcowboy[/MENTION], [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION] and [MENTION=23850]empyr3al[/MENTION]...hope you are well! I'm thrilled that you gentlemen post on our thread. It gives us a different perspective and keeps things interesting. All ladies on a thread can be very boring. ;-)

            [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION]... By last Friday, I was severely overpeopled, or as@NoSugar's grandson said....."PEE-pulled." You got that right, kid. LOL

              Greetings to all, and happy Sunday! Thank you for your kind words, [MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION]!

              Rusty, in answer to your question, no Imus is not on TV in the morning. He hasn't been on TV in years and years! I use live streaming on the computer to listen live to his show just once in awhile. Sid is on every morning but Imus is only on M-Th. And often he is off sick. Anyway, they are on 77WABC radio out of New York City. My Mom is the one who used to watch Imus every morning which is how I learned of the show. I always thought it was so funny that my mother would even watch that show, if you know what I mean! LOL

                Happy Sunday.

                Definitely letting things fester adds to so many of my problems. Good for you for realizing that and letting it out. :hug:

                Really great to see all the posts. I just haven't had much to contribute lately. I go to to work, go home, repeat. And there are only so many interesting things that I see in my 15 minute drive back & forth to work.

                Loving hearing all the news about our precious babies here. J&C are always sending me pics of their niece who is about 5 months old. What a cutie pie. They have brought her over here a few times and I just love holding that baby. I did talk to Casey about getting on the adoption list. Maybe they will pursue that. Of course, they have only been trying to get pregnant for a little over 6 months. And, the Doctor wanted them to wait a year before running any tests. So, maybe they will be pregnant someday.

                  Hi [MENTION=7944]dill[/MENTION] - x post. I was trying to find better pictures of my babies to show you. I just love Tessa. What a beauty.

                    Hi, [MENTION=9757]NoraC[/MENTION]! I think getting good pics of the pets is difficult! I got really lucky on the one I got of Tessa. Usually she is like a shrinking violet when I hold that camera up and move in toward her. She looks away or gets up and walks away. I just lucked out with that picture. She was too comfy to get up! LOL!

                          Mine just won't stand still. Molly sees that camera and takes off because she doesn't like having her picture taken and Abbie just can't stand still that long - exited. :rotlf:

                                Is Louie excited or not yet? Casey's 6 year old niece has been a little disappointed in her little sister. She can't play with her and gets in trouble if she's too rough with her and the 6 year old is definitely not the center of attention anymore. LOL
