Monday Monday
Hi! Yes I know it's Tuesday. I have to say sometimes Mondays can be no fun. I don't think I got as much done at the real job as I would have liked to. But there's always today to look forward to.
Coach was not real talkative after his two days on the field. Of course it was in the low 100's both days. He said that there were a few coaches who were not prepared (sunscreen). So you can guess how red they were when they got home. He loves being on that field. There's nothing like watching your husband talk about all the moves that go on, on that field. I hear all the terms and get to see some of those moves demonstrated in our family room. It's quite a sight.
So the other news I got yesterday, was that surgery will be in less than a month. So that is a good thing. I just know what I'll be going through, and I'm not looking forward to that. Now I'm in get things done mode. And coach will be "stop doing that". I'll just get a few things done, cause at some point I won't care what my house looks like. Sleep is the only thing I'll want and of course no pain. And I hate the stuff they give you for that. I'm thinking I need to do a few fun things to. I'm hooked on that book I Brake For Yard Sales ( by Lara Spencer). My daughter said we need to go to a few and some thrift shops and see what we can find. I have to get a guestroom setup. And I'm hoping to do the yard sale thing in it. Coach wants to change the dressers in our room and put the old ones in the guestroom. So that will be one thing off the list. I can't wait to get started.
As much as I would like to keep talking here. I have to get ready for work. Get my lunch ready, snacks you know. We're eating much better as of late and I don't want to hit that vending machine at work. It's amazing how when you write down everything you eat it makes you think before you open your mouth to that fork. And it's fun to see the results.
Talk to you soon.

Overcast Wednesday
So today I slept in, until 6:30 am. Wow! You know your getting older when 6:30 am is sleeping in. Oh well, you get started on things for the day earlier. So we've, coach and I have been watching what we eat. Trying to eat healthy. More veggies and fruits. Less on the plate. It's showing on scale to! And more important with the clothes! Very exciting.
Today I went walking . Got to get more active now. It's getting warmer and San Diego is only five hours away. One of our favriote places to spend time together. That and Palm Springs. We always seem to chill out when we're there. I can't wait till we make our next trip there. New car I hear road trip! New shape new bathing suit. Ugh! I hate that trip to the dressing room. But maybe it'll be bit more fun this year.
I've been looking at the Hungry Girl Cookbook and Weight Watchers. I love the iced coffee from Hungry Girl. Almost better than Starbucks. Though I'll always stop by from time to time to get something skinny from them. The girls at my local Starbucks are all so sweet. It's always nice to have someone remember you. It reminds me of back home (Michigan) were you knew everyone around you. The butcher shop that my mom went to. I remember wanting to go with my mom so I could get one of those lollypop on the string. And when I took my kids there, they always asked how my mom was doing and my kids got to pick out the lollypop on the string to. Funny the things you remember about your childhood. Though I love living in Arizona. You don't get the same hometown feeling. Maybe thats why I love San Diego so much. Even there people remember us when we go back. And we walk a lot.
So I went through emails today and bloglovin. It's fun to see what everyone is doing or making. Gives me more ideas. I was looking at The Lettered Cottage. They have a magazine thats really cute. Love all the colors that were used in the rooms. There was a Q&A with Robert Novagratz. One of his quotes was "Life is short and failing is overrated. Try again!" I love that. Cause it's ture. If you don't keep trying, you'll never know what you could have done. Right? I just have to keep reminding myself. I can't wait till their show comes back to HGTV. They are just so darn good! It makes me want another house to redo. Coach is always asking me what I want to do? Thats what I want to do. I'd really like to find things for peoples homes. Make them beautiful and comfortable. I remember in school I used a neighbor as my client. She loved what I did on my board and said she'd use me to decorate her house when I graduated. As a teen that makes you feel great. I've yet to decorate anothers home. One day. One day.
So while I was looking at The Lettered Cottage, there were homes from Tybee Island. Which made me thing of the places I'd like Coach and I to go. So I think I'll do my bucket list of those places.
1. Italy 10. Denver
3. Back to NYC 11. Back to Santa Fe
4. Paris 12. Ireland
5. Tybee Island 13. Spain
6. London 14. Australia
7. Marthas Vineyards 15. Wyoming
8. Germany 16. Back to Canada
9. New Orleans
When I was groing up my dad loved to travel. So almost every summer we took long family vacations. Most were to places he and my mom had been to. Like NYC, were I got to see the Twin Towers just as they were being completed. And were my parents went to the Worlds Fair. Do they even do those anymore?
I'm sure there will be more added to the list. But thats a start. So if any of you have been to any or all of these places. Give me the list of best places to go and eat. We love trying different things.
So have a good rest of the evening. I'll try to stop by tommorrow.

Back again
It's been a while since I've sat here in front of the computer. I've got Martha on and I don't have to be to work till one. Life as you know can sometimes get in the way. Not that I don't love my life but you can't always do the things you want due to time and such. Like coaches truck not wanting to work anymore. Inventory at work, two employees out. New baby boy for one which is sooo exciting for her, and jury duty for another. Now another employee going to a different store. And to put the cherry on the top of it all. I now have to have what looks like a full right shoulder replacement in the very near future. We're waiting for the call giving us the date that this will take place. Going to get blood work and all done this coming Friday. I've been through this once before. Part of my left shoulder was done almost four years ago. Which went great. Having the best surgeon makes things go so much better. I'm not looking forward to this, it makes me want to cry a little. My age makes this a shock for my surgeon as I'll be fifty four next month. But this is what life has handed me now. So I'm hoping if I have to be home for an extended amout of time. Maybe I'll be able to sit here and let you know how things are going. Which could be very interesting as I'm righthanded. I'm guessing that it's going to take a long time to type a line or I'll get very fast one handed. I'm hoping for the latter.
So I hope your all having a wonderful spring. It's been crazy weather around here. Not as bad as other parts of the country, whom are in our paryers. But going from the high eightes to the mid sixties is a little crazy. I'm sorry but sixty is cold around here. This morning they said we'll be at one hundred by Saturday.
I'm guessing coach is going to be loving that. He has a track meet coming up and a football thing going on up in Scottsdale all weekend. I'm guessing the black shorts long sleeve gray tee shirt and wide brim bucket hat will be the attire for the weekend. Oh and sun screen of course. You who are married to coaches know what I'm talking about. The sad thing is I'm sitting here in a gray football tee shirt. I've even found myself picking up gray clothing!
Well since one of our trucks isn't working. We spent part of this past Sunday at the Kia Dealership. We are now the proud owners of a Kia Soul. She's gray in color. LOL, I have a gray car! Now I know I'm officially a coaches wife. I'm the lucky one who gets to drive her. As the Dodge Ram I drove was five on the floor. Not good for the shoulder. So coach now drives it. It's amazing what cars do today. Coach called me yesterday, and I was getting into the car answering the phone. The problem was that they loaded up the car with all my numbers. So you can't use the phone at the same time. Boy do I have a lot to learn. Fifty three isn't old, but if you didn't grow up using the computer from birth. It gets very confusing at times.
It's getting late and I have to get things together for work. Have a great Wednesday.
