abbadabba's Journal, 14 Jun 10

Back to work! I had a lovely weekend, recorded all my eating too! I got invited to a graduation party - it was fun, even though it was raining! They had lots of tents and lots of grilled food, plus some nice salads. I got to try out the prosecco and peach nectar combo that I read about here! Yummy. What was the third thing in that drink? We didn't have it, but maybe I'll try it! Then a few of my friends went out to the movies and we saw Get Him to the Greek (or something) - very funny although quite cliche-ridden! Good end to a Saturday night.

Sunday afternoon my younger daughter and I went to the Girl Scout bridging - I cried when I delivered my daughter's scholarship certificate, and several people admitted they cried too, hearing about what is in store for them with their little first graders! I only had one small piece of cake and some celery.

My older daughter got a cute job at a cute aquarium at the beach! So, she will be living with her grandma (my mom) this summer. Sad face, but really, she will be WORKING so that is Great!

Projects will culminate this week! Girl Scouts is over on Friday, my black-tie party is Saturday! I might volunteer for Special Olympics on Sunday - not sure why I wouldn't...so then it will be summer!

Working nights is not fun, but then, neither is working days, so I am hanging here until someone else says I am done - I do like sleeping til noon and past noon! My pet birds are a little weirded out on the weekends, when I stay up til 2 in the morning, but they don't really have much choice than to put up with it! I could move the TV, I guess, so they don't have to watch late night with me, but I think they would like that less.

I got re-invited to the weight lifting class by a second friend, so I picked up a schedule at the gym and got a new tag (they changed owners) - it only costs me $30 a month so I think I really ought to take advantage of the classes, now especially when I can get in there for yoga and pilates in the afternoons - expand my horizons while I tighten up everything else, ha ha!

Oh, don't you wish you could find a pile of free money somewhere and never have to work again?

Ok, I am off to measure some stuff for work, dodging airport traffic at 3 am - hope you all have a great Monday, my Monday work day is almost over!

PS - thank you all for your supportive comments these days!

Free money would be awesome and solve a lot of our problems. lol It sounds like you had a great weekend and great company. Congrats to your daughter on finding a great summer job. I know you will miss her. The weight lifting class will be fun..you should do it. Also the drink had sangria and rum in it besides the peach snapps and champaigne. Enjoy your day!

PIle of free money sounds great. Where do I sign up? You sound happy. I think the gym is a great idea. Can't beat $30 a month for classes. You might really enjoy the yoga or pilates. Once you're signed up for the gym it's a lot easier to try new classes. Usually a bellini is, I believe, just the prosecco and the nectar. I love prosecco in general. It's cheaper than champagne and usually just as good or better than the lower end champagnes. But maybe you guys were talking about a different drink--sounds like Cathy's had a lot more booze in it. Haha. Aw, cute about your daughter. I remember walking over a bridge at one point. I don't know if it was in girl scouts or after nursery school or what--but I distinctly remember walking over a little bridge someone made. How sweet. And the aquarium job sounds like fun. Have a great week.

Yes ... I would LOVE a pile of money!!! I am constantly on the hunt for the fabled 'money tree' in my forested acreage. Haven't found it yet!!! I'm glad you are going to take advantage of the gym. I am trying to get inspired about that idea myself. Struggling a bit to get enthused though. Keep rockin' girlfriend!!! I'm lovin' your chart!!

Wow you do have a lot on your plate but you got all under control. Have a great week and enjoy the gym :))!

You do have a lot going on, but that's probably good. A busy mind keeps you from dwelling on unpleasant things. I would love to join a class of some kind but I have physical limitations and that can be problematic. Money tree~if I had one it would die on me - LOL. Do not have a great green thumb no matter how I try. Have a really good week Abba.
