bless i drink 4-5 soft drinks/day. i buy the soda just once every 1 1/2 months and i prefer getting it OVER with

mary

Mary, that seems like a lot of soda to me! I like soda, but I don't drink it on a regular basis. As a result, I rarely ever buy soda, unless there is a party. Sounds like you did a lot over the past couple of days!

Working on the having fun goal, yesterday went shopping for summer clothes with DGF and today will meet her to soak up some rays, have dinner at her friend's house and a bonfire to finish off this day of pur day of rest and relaxing!

Bubblegum, sounds like you are off to a good start on the having fun goal!

You have given me an idea! My cousin loves to go shopping and she's generally good company - maybe I'll ask her to accompany me when I go shopping for my white blouse. It can be a cousins-bonding outing for us!

Way to go everyone and your Goal lists.

I plan on figuring out at least 4 small bits and pieces towards getting some goals accomplished this weekend!

Mary...I totally understand the soda thing. I don't drink soda at all any longer because of health issues, but I used to. Now I drink water only and due to garbage in our town's water system, the tap water is undrinkable. So, I have to buy water and I, too, like to get it all overwith in one or two trips when it is on sale.

DD and I cleaned the house this morning. She's pretty good about getting the dishes done regularly, but she hates to take out the trash (which is one of her chores). It was overflowing so bad that I told her if it ever gets like that again I was going to put it in the middle of her bed. She's a great girl, but neither of my kiddos like taking out the trash. At nearly 27, DS STILL hates to take out the trash and it's his OWN trash.

Anyway, we got the whole little place cleaned, all our errands ran, and I'm on my last load of laundry. DD has a benefit concert tonight that we'll be leaving for in a little while. We're supposed to help set up and then I'm supposed to take care of the raffle ticket sales (Not looking forward to doing that). But....shhhhh....don't tell....I think I get to stay home ALL day tomorrow, and I'm going to actually take some time for myself. I have a TON of work to do for my job so it will only be for a little while, but I'm planning to lay on the couch and watch a movie with DD and do a little sewing, maybe some reading. So looking forward to summer break. Hate not having the income, but LOVE having time to do some fun things and just "be".

at 6pm i went to the dry cleaners. picked up my poncho and tried to drop off my summer raincoat, but they can't do that, so home again and got a skirt to drop off. then i came home, ate some cereal, cut off the tag, hung up the poncho and raincoat and cut a page of an old calendar into note paper. i was finished w everything at 730 and then read aol, the forum and my personal juno. i went ahead and put all the mail that came in the last 2 days into folder, then had a bowl of chicken corn chowder. i restocked the napkins and sweetener and wiped out the bowl then started reading email. read 31 aol and 60 juno, then ate some cheeze its and yoghurt and went to bed at 2am.

slept til 2pm. got up and listened to a show, ran the vac in the lr and dr, read a sect of my book and went to taco bell for a burrito supreme. home again. did budget work, fed metro his moist food for sat and did the dailies. then took a bath and clipped my toenails. decided to get the clothes in the wash and got on here by 710pm.

mary

i got on here at 715pm sat. i took a quick 5 min break to put my clothes in the dryer and another break at 9pm for some cereal, then finished up reading my 75 email for the day by midnight. at midnight, i ate some hamburger soup, then i painted my toe nails while listening to 3 episodes of an online show and then listened to an hr 1/2 audio download while eating some crackers and yoghurt and went to bed about 530am.

i woke at 11am on sun. i listened to an hr and 20 min download, then ran the vac in the gbr, read a sect of my book and went to subway for lunch in the pouring rain. when i got home i had to pickup all the things on my over the door storage in the coat closet b/c it had fallen down. i put away the clothes i washed yest after drying them, ran and emptied the dw and ate some cereal after my daily routine. i restocked the bottled water in the frig and gave metro his moist food for sun. next i watched 2 episodes of 60 min, took a bath and ate some hamburger soup. and just got on here after 10pm.
