Better Score, Broken Player, Bob's Hours

Quick post, then off to bed. Yeah, it's late.

See Cornerstone for the Winter Break Highlights for Tuesday.

After sledding today, the car wouldn't start. Just clicked repeatedly. Called Bob, he said get someone to jump it. That worked! I was amazed as I really didn't think that was the problem. So, hopefully all will be well with the van.

Got the taxes e-filed today. Finally. I don't know why I put it off so long, when we get money back! I just hate dealing with numbers.

My job training went better today. Attended the first live meeting session online this morning for some more training and then took another "test" tonight. Did much better than yesterday's. And I felt better today when I found out my poor score from Monday was still better than the average score. I think I will like the job.

Touched up my nails and cut my own hair. Like the hair, but the nails look patchy. They need to be redone. I like how they look and since I will be typing a lot, I figure it will give me something to look at. lol

Didn't Tae-bo today. Too busy and too tired. Didn't go to the Pampered Chef show either, though I wanted to.

Bob got the schedule for next week and he has FOUR days instead of three! YAY! I guess a couple people quit.

Suzy was carrying Emily's CD player up the stairs tonight and forgot the handle was broken. It fell down the staircase all the way from upstairs and busted apart. David to the rescue! He fit it all back together and duct taped it, so that it works. Well, the CD player works anyway. The cassette deck door broke off and was unsalvageable.

Made chicken potpie (Bisquick crust) tonight and it ALL vanished. LOL Also made blueberry crisp with the last of the blueberries from summer. It wasn't as well-received. What will I make tomorrow????

I don't have to go anywhere at all on Wednesday or Thursday, though I imagine I'll need to go at least to the store and library at some point before co-op on Friday.

OK, that wasn't as short as I had predicted, but now I am going to bed. Morning comes early.

4 Miles, 7 Inches, 2 Tests

Did not run on Saturday, but did go out and jog 4 miles on Sunday. It was actually alternating jogging and walking and that's the longest I've ever done. I went two miles down the road, so I had to come two miles back. lol It's a hillier route than I am used to also. The weather was about 41 and sunny when I left, though it was overcast by the time I returned.

I'm feeling it today! My legs are SORE! No workout today (Monday is usually a rest day.) but I will do Tae-bo Tuesday, unless I actually go sledding myself, which I doubt. I'm more of a stand-and-watch kind of mom.

Did my nails bright PINK the other day - 2 coats with a clear top coat and it lasted 3 days without a chip. They need to be redone, and I am debating whether or not to put in the effort. I like how they look when they are painted, but I don't like constantly thinking about my fingernails.

My grey needs to be touched up and I need a haircut. Maybe I can get myself all pulled together before the weekend!

We have a lot of snow. Seven inches maybe? Bob left for work this morning and had to backtrack since someone hit a pole and there was no way through. He ended up getting there late and thus working an hour late. But they asked him to come in tomorrow for 5 extra hours!

Reading a Chris Bohjalian book, but not feeling like I want to keep reading.

Took two "tests" in my training today. One I did well on, the other not so much. Hopefully I can clarify some of the concepts during the live web meetings we will have this week.

A friend is having a Pampered Chef party Tuesday and I would love to go. It's been forever since I've been to one of those. I'd love to get a pizza stone or two, since we are starting to make our own pizzas again.

This week is not as busy as last week, but I do have some odds and ends to work on - soccer stuff, taxes still aren't done, some painting I'd like to accomplish.

I'll be heading to GR with Emily either Saturday night or Sunday morning early. Probably Sunday AM. Janet and I are going to paint the town TECHNICOLOR and Emily is going to spend some quality time with Grandma.

I only did one Tae-bo this past week - forgot to work out one day, was so busy the others that I just kept putting it off. And then last night, when I headed to do it, the TV wouldn't co-operate! Argh. I think I'm going running later today - it's sunny and supposed to hit 37 degrees! It's been a long time since I've gone running. And, no, the scale did not show a loss this week. Maybe the two paczkis I ate had something to do with that too. And all that laffy taffy. lol

I'm not giving anything up for Lent, but I am going to make a concerted effort to get to bed before midnight and get up and get started on the day.
