    my cousin’s engagement party went smoothly but goodness me, it tires all of us out! and now I’m helping one of my closest friend with her wedding reception. fun!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Is it really Spring? Sleet and snow & frost on everything this morning so I went back to bed. Have now just got up again and it’s 2pm! Now to whizz around the house. Spring cleaning? What cleaning?

  • Natalie

    I love that it is the weekend despite the fact I have to work. I am planning on taking down my Christmas tree today!

  • Barbara

    Is it spring? I had to turn my heat back on yesterday and I have a cold. 🙁 On the other hand, spring *cleaning* continues, slowly. The next time I decide to go through everything and plan a garage sale, someone stop me!

  • Sarah L

    Gripe, gripe, gripe. It’s snowing right this minute. Rain tomorrow, snow again tomorrow night. Today’s high was 37 degrees – normal high temp is 65. Come on weather! Tomorrow is May first….

  • Trisha McKee

    My day is going great. It is the start of my three-day weekend. I am going fishing this weekend. And then Sunday I am staying home and reading and napping all day.

  • courtney hennagir

    Well hello there! My day was so long,but the whole week has been like that too.So glad it’s the weekend! Think I just might stay home in my jammies all weekend!

  • Sarah L

    Good swim class, then visit to the library and a trip to the grocery store where they had many of my favorites on sale. I saved 35% on my bill.

  • Ann

    My day is all right. I slept in way too late, which really frustrates me. I’m not sure if my alarm went off or not..? Regardless, I’m kind of on-edge. Oh… my sister arrives late tonight, for the weekend. She was on one side of the country, and is making a quick stop here before flying back home to another part of the country. I might not even see her while she’s here, because she’s always so busy.

  • clojo9372

    Did some cardio felt like my heart was gonna explode out of my chest and then I worked. It’s rainy today I wish I could stay in bed all day! LOL.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Doing last minute engagement party arrangements for my cousin today. Tomorrow is the actual party. Plenty of food!! YAY!

  • Jill Rivera

    I had very good new yesterday. My son found out he is having a son, so he will have a pair. He has a daughter and also he will be settling on his new house soon. He will be moving out soon.

  • michele soyer

    Up and moving today.. No shortage of energy.. today is my grandsons birthday so Happy Birthday to my great boy! 15 today….

  • Kenya F

    So far the day is perfect! No work! Whoohoo! I’m going to be productive by applying for a new job, updating my linkedin and start networking. Happy Friday to All!

  • Eugenia Hall

    So far so good, its almost over. I’m just getting ready for hubby to come home from his night shift work this morning and we’ll tuck in to bed.

  • Kim Avery

    Im up bright and early because I have to take my son to work. Then I’m off running errands before enjoying my day off!

  • Mai T.

    Friday is finally here. I’m excited for this weekend with the Labor’s Day party and grilling. Let’s see what fun we’ll have this year.

  • Andrea Amy

    Sick kids. I think my 7 year old has tonsillitis. I thought we did really good, made it through flu season with hardly a cold, but the last month has been just awful. My 6 and 8 year olds appear to be better so they are going to school tomorrow while I take the other one to the doctor.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Sorry I’ve been MIA for a couple of days. Mum’s schedule means that we drive & sleep and not a whole lot else. Yesterday though was a bit different: there we were driving at 120 kilometres/hr along a 5-lane motorway when one of the tyres blew out! Did we panic? Hell, no, we’re too tired to be panicking about anything. I managed to get onto the hard shoulder, put on the temporary tyre, then after Mum’s radiotherapy we bought a new one. Oh, and this was in sleet, rain and hailstones!

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Still helping my cousin with her engagement party arrangements while running errands for my mom. Today is a productive day!

  • michele soyer

    Well I plan on making a chai tea cake today…I have made a cake using earl grey tea but never chai.. wish me luck!

  • clojo9372

    It’s time for me to start my day. I gotta get up and get my cardio in before I start working. I have not motivation though, LOL! 😉

  • Kenya F

    Today is my Friday since my job is closed tomorrow for the holiday so I am super excited. I’m going to try to be very productive and don’t waste anytime doing things like a netflix. Have a great day all!

  • Mai T.

    Another sunny day shooed away the blue. It’s only Thursday but I feel great. I hope my presentation at work gets appreciated.

  • Andrea Amy

    Its been a day. Woke up to 2 of my kids vomiting. My 7 year in particular was very sick all day, fever, and he couldn’t keep anything down. Very stressful day, didn’t sent the boys to school and they’ll be staying home tomorrow too.

  • Kathy Ross

    My day isn’t going very good. I was up for a few hours and I started feeling weak and sick. Unfortunately I still don’t feel good.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Helped my cousin with her engagement party arrangements today. The said party is this Saturday, I’m so excited for my cousin and her fiance!

  • ginette4

    Day is going well..parents 59th wedding anniversary today..what a feeling having Mom and Dad married and happily married at that

  • clojo9372

    Today is a meh kind of day. I did my upper body and abs and now it’s time for me to work. I would like to have a vacation to somewhere nice!

  • michele soyer

    Raining again today but my mood is much improved over yesterday.. Think I am just missing my mom so very much these days…

  • Kenya F

    Feeling good today and toe doesn’t hurt as much. Looking forward to my 3 day weekend so that I can shoot my resume out. I’m on a mission to get a new job ASAP. Have a wonderful day!

  • Ann

    The sun is just starting to come up. I didn’t go to bed at all, and I’m fine without. I did take a nap yesterday evening, though– I got really upset, and fell asleep crying. It was about this time of year that I was supposed to receive my doctorate, but instead learned that my school… ugh. I couldn’t get my degree. Plan for today is to win a billion dollars.

  • Mai T.

    It’s always a difficult thing to transfer money abroad. You never know what exchange rate you’re gonna get. But convenience has a price I suppose.

  • Andrea Amy

    Kids were back to school after a 3 day weekend. I volunteered in the kindergarten class this morning helping with the memory books for the kids and helping with the Mother’s Day cards the kids will be making for their Moms. Mostly a quiet day, and now taking some Netflix time before bed.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    I spent my day proofreading an assignment for a friend and then went on pinterest to pin and save some workout sequences. Not sure when I’ll start working out but at least I’ve pinned them, right?

  • michele soyer

    Feeling low today… Husband went shopping for me and now I think I will put some jazz on the stereo and get out of this mood…

  • clojo9372

    Not sure what to do today… I did my cardio which was awful. It’s kind of rainy. I think I will clean up my office.

  • Kenya F

    I found out on Sunday that I dislocated my pinky toe. Smh. Urgent care dr tried to place back which was extremely painful. Stay home yesterday resting and went to the foot dr who was able to snap it back. Yay! Still have to keep it wrapped up and in that special shoe for the week but at least its not broken! 🙂

  • Ann

    After almost eight weeks of headaches, chaos, confusion, and overall hellishness, I GOT A PHONE! …It does come with some baggage, though. My father went out and paid for it– we’d known this was going to wind up being the case– and I feel terribly guilty about that. :-/

  • Kathy Ross

    My day is going really good! Got too hot today though and had to put in the air conditioner. But I think we’ll be needing it more! It was 79+ degrees this afternoon.

  • clojo9372

    Day was ok. I am in a strange mood, dont have alot of ambition. I just want to lie in bed and eat chocolate and drink coffee… LOL!

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Just got a wedding invitation from one of my high school friends. The thing I hate about meeting people who are married is that they have only one question for me and it is “When are you getting married, Aishah?”

  • michele soyer

    Laundry again .. where does it all comes from? My amazon order is coming today so that is always a happy day.. shopping with out having to leave the house sometimes is a Godsend…

  • Mai T.

    The weather celebrates my birthday with heavy snow. Plowing through the snow to work on summer tires is no joke. When will spring be here?

  • Kim Avery

    For some reason I’m wide awake at 4 a.m. and I dont have to be to work until 10 a.m.! Going to be a long day if I dont go back to sleep soon!

  • Kathy Ross

    My day was going fine until we went to eat at a Chinese Restaurant. It was a buffet but they weren’t putting out fresh food or filling the empty containers. We complained and they still charged us. They still had 40 minutes to be open when we left. It was a total rip off!!! It wasn’t an all you can eat buffet at all!!!

  • Sarah L

    Quiet day at home after a fun-filled day yesterday. Caught the free light rail to Union station with the intention of catching the new Airport line. Wait time for that was 3 hours so I just had a lovely lunch inside Union station & listened to live jazz.

  • Robyn Bellefleur

    So far so good. It’s a beautiful day outside and the sun is shining so I am going to take my dogs out for a hike in the wooded area near my house.

  • Ann

    Pretty well! I finally slept for a while, maybe 8 hours, after 2 days/nights of not going to bed. Now I’ve just got some laundry going, and am listening to the birds chirping outside as the (very content) cats sit in the windowsill.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    I don’t know if it’s just me or it’s the weather. But I’ve developed a fondness of sleeping. I woke up at a ridiculous time today.

  • Andrea Amy

    Not having a great day. My idiot husband decided to get drunk last night and lost our rent money in the vlt slot machines.

  • clojo9372

    Today is Sunday and I am just going to sit down and relax. I am going to read a book watch a little tv and enjoy my day. I don’t want to do anything. LOL!

  • Christina Sparks

    Just got up about an hour ago the birds are singing and the sun is up had my first cup of coffee and I am ready for the 2nd cup!

  • Kenya F

    My day could be better. I hurt my pinky toe yesterday and it still hurts like crazy. I’m going to continue to ice it but it doesn’t get better I’m going to get it checked out in urgent care. 🙁

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, I got a surprise wake up at 8 this morning from my youngest nephew, lol. He didn’t want to go to his brother’s baseball game, so he decided to spend the day with me & his Granny. Otherwise, it’s been a normal, lazy Saturday.

  • clojo9372

    I had a good day today. Did some strength training and then did my work. And because my mother is such a wonderful person she made me dinner because she loves me! 🙂

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Just got back from a weekend getaway at the beach. It was quite fun, we had bbq last night and then today my mum and I went to hi-tea event organized by our school’s alumni. It was nice to meet everybody.

  • Ann

    I’m all right! (And that’s good.) Didn’t go to bed last night; I’m getting used to that, the day after. I need to do A LOT of errands, but will only do a few today (don’t want to push myself). Feeling stressed because I have very, VERY little money– but many things on various shopping lists! On some of the stops of my errands-route I will only be returning things. So… Yes; very stressed out about that.

  • Kenya F

    So far my day is going well. Woke up early, went to Trader Joes and was back home by 9:30am. Then I cleaned out the fridge. Now I’m just relaxing and about to go work out and look for a new job. I feel very production today and its only 11:30am. LOL

  • michele soyer

    Raining again…Looking around to see what I can accomplish today and my level of motivation is very low.. but I do plan on making some Mexican Lasagna today as requested from my daughter….

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Lovely lie-in this morning after Mum’s first week of chemo AND I get to inject her everyday with a warfarin replacement! A real-life voodoo doll! I’ll go to town later for a bit of shopping and get our clothes ready for the week ahead but other than that it’s a ‘pizza-in-the-oven-and-a-bottle-of-wine day’!

  • Sarah L

    I’m off to bed. Won’t be on computer tomorrow. First a light rail trip out to the airport since they just opened the line yesterday and it’s free to ride today. Then a concert up in Boulder.

  • Andrea Amy

    Good day. Got a new pair of sandals, had a nice walk, didn’t have to cook as I made enough last night for a leftover night and tomorrow is a sleep in day 🙂

  • clojo9372

    It was a rainy day today. I did my cardio and I was exhausted. I took a shower did some light cleaning and then did some office work.

  • Ann

    Hi–
    I somehow managed to get a bunch of garbage-y text “stuck” in the text bar of the “Hit that HOME button!” part, and have been unable to deleted. Today I submitted it for entries, as-is, and maybe this will clear it out.
    Is there any way that you could (please?) award me those entries for today? The title of the post, which I had wanted to type in, is the same post that I commented on today. If no, I understand.
    Finally– I don’t think that this Comment needs to be posted to the wall here, but I will of course leave that to your discretion.
    Thank you!
    –Ann

  • Ann

    It’s going pretty well! The grocery store just up the street is closing very soon (not good, esp. for the convenience!), and when I went up there earlier today I found out that EVERYTHING in the store (except alcohol) was 30% off. So, I stocked up on a lot of things. Good stuff!

  • michele soyer

    Good morning! It is pouring rain this morning so whatever I decide to do today it will be inside.. Sometimes I love a rainy day to sit reflect and be grateful for allI have…

  • Kim Avery

    My day is going fabulous! I will be going to see my mom today so she can cut and color my hair plus do something about this unibrow I’m starting to sport!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Today’s chemo doesn’t start till 4pm-ish so Mum & I have enjoyed a lazy morning, catching up on laundry etc. before we have to hit the road. We’ll hit the traffic coming back but oh, it was worth it just to be able to wake up naturally!

  • Mai T.

    My Jojo Moyes book arrived from AMAZON UK yesterday and I’m so excited. I need to read the whole of it right away this weekend.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    I was out for most of the day today and then went out again for dinner with my high school friends. Been awhile since we last met.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Mum’s first week of chemo is going pretty well although the 5 hour-long drive there & back is hard on both of us. I’m going for a nap then I might feel like doing a bit of ironing, cooking, cleaning etc. etc. Or not!!!!!

  • clojo9372

    I still feel about meh…. I did my cardio this morning and now I feel dead tired. I think I am gonna curl up and read some books and magazines. 🙂

  • michele soyer

    The electric company is upgrading lines today so I will have no power for a short time this morning…Better get moving we all use electricity without even thinking how it would be without it!

  • Ann

    It’s ok. I think it was Tuesday that I somehow got part of the entry form (above) all messed up. In the “Hit that HOME Button” part, I copied and pasted– only I C&P’d too much text. I can’t delete, and it won’t go away on its own. Slim odds anyway, so it’s all right.

  • Mai T.

    It’s been quite a busy Thursday but I still had time to think about a dream trip to Canada some day. And also, maybe living in New Zealand would not be such a bad idea.

  • Cathy French

    Today I finally realized I’m going to have to take someone to small claims court to get what I’m owed. So frustrating it came to this.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I can’t believe it but today’s the first anniversary of Dad’s death. Sad but we have to concentrate on the living & Mum needs all our support right now as she’s just started chemo etc.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Today is my lazy day. Slept in and then went on youtube and watched a bunch of wrestling videos, revisiting my memories of watching classic Stone Cold Steve Austin matches.

  • michele soyer

    Today I have decided to clean out the closets.. What a job but it has to be done.. I also want to make a list of all the summer clothes I need to buy.. What a list!

  • Andrea Amy

    Long day but productive! Volunteered in my son’s kindergarten class this morning assembling hats for their spring concert which is tomorrow (I guess technically tonight as its after midnight now). Vacuumed, did some laundry and sweeping this afternoon. Went grocery shopping this evening, managed to stay on budget and get enough for 18 nights of dinners. Watching a bit of Netflix, then to bed because tomorrow I volunteer in the grade one classroom 🙂

  • Ann

    Eh, it’s/I’m all right. My ex wants us to try and get back together. I’d like that, too, but I know in my heart, head, and gut that things would be basically be the same. We shall see.

  • Mai T.

    It’s been snowing and hailing for 2 days. I don’t see spring anywhere. Instead, winter is actually back to scare everyone.

  • clojo9372

    I worked on my Upper Body and did some pilates. I also cleaned out the Study, Vacuumed and Mopped the floor. I feel sleepy now so I am just gonna veg until dinner time.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well, that’s Day 2 of chemo/radiotherapy over & done with. So very tired but I have a choir practice tonight that I’m looking forward to as we’ve got a couple of performances coming up.

  • michele soyer

    Looked around and there is barely any bread left so today I plan on baking bread and some scones.. Oh and I have to bathe the dogs.. Off and running to have a great day!

  • Ann

    How… is my day. Well, it’s 4:30am; haven’t gone to bed yet. Despite the perky music I’m listening to, I’m feeling this bummed-out sense of defeat. It’s pretty typical. It’s anger that’s tired of being active anger. Went from being a brilliant doctoral candidate to… this. My department made numerous errors, and after 6-7 years [of unpaid work, helping others…] I couldn’t get my degree that I’d earned. The amount of debt I’m in over that un-awarded degree is mind-blowing. (No other debt/loans.) I had to move in with my father. Can’t work (medical). No income. Miserable, every day. Miserable and stuck. …I had been a psychotherapist, and a good one at that, but I can’t fix this. This is hell.
    Sorry about this post.

  • Andrea Amy

    My day went well. tried a new recipe for dinner that I saw shared on facebook and it was delicious. Will definitely be making that again!

  • Mai T.

    I saw a recruitment notice on Facebook from a friend and I really want to apply but maybe I need to wait to get my citizenship first. It’s so much easier to travel or work abroad as a European.

  • Sarah L

    I sadly had to watch the guy cut away a bunch of branches on my blooming crabapple tree that got crunched by the big snow we had.

  • Andrea Amy

    Beautiful spring Monday. Blue skies, the leaves are growing, the flowers are starting to grow. Its a beautiful day. Spending it doing laundry lol but its a beautiful day.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Today was exhausting. We left the house at 6am for a 9.30 appointment in Dublin. Mum’s started chemo & radiotherapy so there was a lot of sitting in waiting rooms. VERY early night tonight!

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Today was spent running errands for my mom. I hope that June comes faster because I just can’t handle another high temperature day. It is annoying to be sweating all day everyday. -_-‘

  • Cathy French

    Today is such a beautiful day I think I’ll take a nice walk around the neighborhood. I’ve been putting off getting more active but with a day like this it would insane not to go outside.

  • clojo9372

    Today is better. The phone company completed the fix on my landline so all is well!! Internet running smoothly and so is the phone itself. I finished doing my Plyometrics workout. (My legs are killing me!!!) Now I will clean my living room. 🙂

  • michele soyer

    Monday already? Well I better get in gear.. Looks like a beauitful day and there is alwasy something to do..Have a great day!

  • Heather E

    Last day of tax season! I’m looking forward to only working one job again. Of course, there are always the bills to contend with….. lol….

  • Ann

    Good morning. 🙂 I think that my day is going pretty well. Or, is it still “yesterday” for me? It’s a little after 4am, and I haven’t gone to bed/sleep yet. I will soon, in a while, maybe.

  • Mai T.

    Half of my day was covered in hangover. It was worth it though. I watched many episodes of SUITS and it is such a brilliant show.

  • patricia skinner

    My day is going pretty good. The weather is sunny and near 80 degrees so I washed a heavy quilt and put it on the line to dry. We went to the store to pick up a few things and now I am just enjoying the day.

  • Ann

    It’s going pretty decently! Except… ANTS! Ants. I’d been looking forward to heading to bed relatively early, when around 3:15am I discovered they had decided to return for another season of tormenting me. And I am not kidding when I say that these horrifying creatures were virtually INDESTRUCTIBLE! Ugh. Ew. Ew. Anyway… Hope you’re doing well; enjoy your afternoon!

  • michele soyer

    It is a glorious sunny Sunday.. Went to mass and now making Sunday lunch.. Grateful to be alive on such a beautiful day..
    happy Sunday to you all…

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I didn’t get home till 4am this morning (PARTY!) and slept till 2pm so now all I’m doing is getting ready for the week ahead. Mum starts chemo tomorrow so we have to leave the house at 6am – ugh!

  • Heather E

    It’s the last Saturday of tax season, so I am excited today ~ at the prospect of not having to set my alarm next Saturday!

  • Andrea Amy

    Its Saturday. I’m not a fan of weekends, school holidays, vacations etc. The kids have been at one another since 7am. We can’tgo outside because they won’t listen, i can’t open a window because they won’t stop fighting. Is it Monday yet?

  • Ann

    Again I didn’t go to bed/sleep last night at all. Worries, legitimate problems and stressors… And, now I’ve been without a phone for over six weeks (mine was killed by a software install gone wrong)– and do not have any money to replace. I’ve brainstormed, explored options, etc… I just… can’t. // Also, this is only the second time I’ve been able to log-in through this giveaway form– I’ve tried multiple times, every day, but haven’t had any luck until now. …I apologize for the down-and-out-ness. I’m just… stressed, and very much so. I hope that you all are having a wonderful weekend.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’ve cleaned the house, the car inside & out, topped up engine oil, checked tyres etc. Heading for a shower then off to the final night’s performance of Oliver! followed my a much-welcome wrap party. Yay!

  • Sarah L

    Good swim class. Then went to the grocery store to get a couple of things before our big snowstorm hits this weekend.

  • Andrea Amy

    Its Friday, the sun is shining, and not a cloud in the sky. Not much to complain about regarding that is there? 🙂

  • michele soyer

    is it really Friday already? Where did this week go…Baking some peach individual pies for the family….hope thwy like them…

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    We’re almost at the end of the run of Oliver! and I’m asleep on my feet! I’ll do the weekly shop on the way to the Theatre this evening so that I’ll have most of Saturday free for housework. Mum starts chemo on Monday so I’m frantically getting everything done before then.

  • Mai T.

    I’ve become so scared of Fridays recently when the restaurant is always packed til closing hour. I just want to have peace but work seems to never agree with me.

  • Carrie H.

    I will be so happy when my front yard stops begging me to re-arrange it. I swear I have moved the same rocks 4 times in the past montj.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    It’s still too hot out there, the temperature is still 36°C so I just stay at home and drink a lot of water

  • clojo9372

    I did some low impact cardio and I worked on my abs. I felt fine this morning but then as when the afternoon came I started to feel unwell. I am gonna take it easy for the rest of the day…

  • ginette4

    It’s a beautiful day today..the sun is shining, great feeling turning down the thermostat on the furnace..awe it’s so nice

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m so, so tired: busy all day then the show every night and little or no sleep because of my jaw/head aching … heaven help anyone who gets my temper up today!

  • Kim Avery

    I am totally enjoying my day off! Its suppose to finally warm up and I just may get out to start prepping my garden!

  • michele soyer

    well today is shopping day.. Grocery, drug store and all the rest.. Will wind up in the mall and who knows I might get somehting for myself.. Have a great day everyone..

  • Mai T.

    There’s a fashion show today in town and I wish to go but I have work. I so hate this. Sometimes I want some fun but work has to go first.

  • Andrea Amy

    Not a bad day, but I’m feeling down and really tired. Seems like its been a really long week and its not over yet lol

  • Tamra Phelps

    What a day. I’m so tired of allergies. This has been going on for months. I think I need to find new allergy medicine!

  • clojo9372

    Day was ok. I did some yoga and also worked on my lower body. I have a bit of a tummy ache right now so I think I might go to bed early…

  • Cathy French

    Today I’m stressing a bit about this being the last weekend to do my taxes that I haven’t even started yet. UGH

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Today was actually going great until I received some crappy news just 10 minutes ago. Now I’m just listening to music, trying to stop thinking about it.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I want to eat really crisp pastry or maybe nuts, anyway, something with a good crunch! My jaw’s really sore from all the dental work & I’m so sick of yoghurt & custard diet.

  • michele soyer

    Wednesday the middle of the week..Laundry day but I still don’t know where all this laundry comes from? It seems in grows in the hamper.. Have a pleasant day everyone….

  • Mai T.

    Tax paper is here and I’m getting some of my precious earning back! Can’t be happier since I have big plan for the summer!

  • Sarah L

    This is National Volunteer Week and since I’m a volunteer at DBG there are many places in town that offer free entry. Today I visited the Butterfly Pavilion and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

  • clojo9372

    Today was ok. I did Pilates (which is very hard because I have trouble with my back but I keep trying) and worked on Upper Body. Trying to keep going and working on my weight loss goals.

  • Andrea Amy

    Good day, volunteered in my son’s kindergarten room today (every Tuesday) and just having a quite afternoon now.

  • Cathy French

    Today I am a bit jealous of my neighbor. The tree service has been there absolutely all day getting rid of a very old and tall tree. Wish I had the moolah to get rid of ours.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    I slept a lot today. It kind of weirded me out a little because I don’t usually sleep this much. Must be the weather or maybe I got bored doing nothing.

  • Kathy Tracey

    My day is going well. However I just woke up so I hope it keeps going well. It should I got plenty of rest. Off to work again tomorrow.

  • michele soyer

    Today is an awesome day! Everything is going so well.. Baking some cinnamon rolls forlater and planning on going to the mall on Thursday so lists lists lists! Hope everyone here has a great day also..

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Well the musical is in full swing and I’ve broken a tooth so emergency dental appt. this afternoon. I also had an abscess at the gum so pain, pain, pain. However, as the saying goes, the show must go on. I’m hoping this will be the last of it as Mum starts chemo next week.

  • Mai T.

    A bright and sunny Tuesday welcomes me. However, I feel depressed with my sore eyes. I do not know what’s wrong with it. I do not have money for this kind of mundane pain now.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, the abscess in my throat burst, so my throat feels better, but my sinus drainage is still going nuts. The weather needs to decide if it’s Winter or Spring! I can handle the effects of one season or the other, but not both at once!

  • Shannon Weel

    I’m having such a great day today! My kids are out of school for spring break so we are having a relaxing day at home. Later in the week we are going to go on some adventures, but for now it’s nice to just be at home with my little ones.

  • Cathy French

    Today I’m trying to do everything a little bit slower as I have some serious anxiety today. Wish I could get my troubles off my mind.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Been sleeping at 4AM these past few days, so I wake up really late everyday. Need to work on my sleeping pattern. And, the temperature today is still blazing hot so I did not get out at all.

  • Andrea Amy

    Today is a good day 🙂 The sun is shining, the kids are in school, my youngest is feeling better from his bout of strep last week and its all back to normal.

  • michele soyer

    WEll it is Monday again and the week starts to roll on.. Did not sleep well last night so Iam kind of slow in getting my day started…

  • clojo9372

    I woke up over 2 hours ago but I don’t feel like doing anything. I have Plyometrics to do today. Lots of jumping. Bleh. I am motivating myself to do it and get it over with! LOL

  • Mai T.

    There are many papers to fill out and submit to invite my mom here for a visit. I so hate the paperwork, it’s long and complicated. And we just want to have fun but before that, pain has to be resolved.

  • clojo9372

    My day has been pretty good. On Sundays I don’t like to do much, no working out (thank God!!) Just internet surfing and reading. Later on I will watch some TV. 🙂

  • ginette4

    Having a good name with hubby today..baking bread and making chicken wings..love the times that I get to spend with him

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Last night’s opening performance & today’s matinée were both wonderful! Packed houses and lots of praise from the audience. I’ve got the dentist first thing in the morning and then 6 more nightly performances of Oliver! before we finish up next Saturday night.

  • michele soyer

    I tell myself every Sunday I am going to read the papers and then do nothing! Think again. By the time I make breakfast, do the dishes then start Sunday lunch half the morning is gone.. but I am enjoying the day and it will only get better!

  • Aishah Bukhari

    I live in Malaysia and it’s the start of the dry season I guess because today’s temperature was 36°C and it was so very hot that I started to get headaches. So today is mainly stay at home day.

  • Cathy French

    Today I happily only have to clean the bathroom and do some laundry. My boyfriend cleaned the kitchen yesterday, vacuumed the house and swept and mops the floors. Is he great or what

  • Andrea Amy

    we are having a lazy sunday. back to school tomorrow, including for my youngest who was off most of last week because of strep throat.

  • Kristen

    My day’s going well. We’re inside watching the pouring rain outside, then heading off to visit friends this evening.

  • Judy Cowan

    Still sick so day is not going too great, just hoping that the antibiotics kick in soon to get rid of this infection.

  • Ann

    Ohh dear; ohh, no no no– Be careful! Careful with giving me the go-ahead to ramble on, because that’s what I generally do! (And, tangents and side-notes. For example, Twitter’s 140 characters! Oooooh….) ….But I want to digress. It’s my first time posting here! I discovered your site/blog by way of a Pinterest-pin just a little while ago. And I’m so glad that I did! Already I’ve found some really neat things. And I like how your “Leave a comment” prompt is so… conversational!
    My day so far is… Well, it’s just after 11:30am; I didn’t go to sleep last night at all. Sometimes I simply don’t like going to bed/sleep! :-/ I know, I know. It’s not good for my health. But sometimes, it feels almost like… a reprieve? (Going to keep on typing, rather than check to see if I’ve selected just the right word there.) My life right now is… Oh, …..oh, I’d rather not, and it’s best if I didn’t, go into it. It’s extremely stressful; full of stressors. At night, with just my two cats wandering around and sleeping next to me, I can feel almost more… normal. Normalized. As if the worries of the day have left with the sun.
    But for now, I’m feeling all right. Listening to old-timey music on an eccentric public radio station, and quite happy to have found your PB&W site. 🙂

  • RussR

    People who always look for what they don’t have, don’t see what they have, and dream of what they don’t really need

  • Cathy French

    I’m not sure how todays’ going to go. Have to go grocery shopping and mother nature has dementia and can’t remember what month and season it is. Winds gusting around 40mph and snow dusting on the grass. We just mowed the lawn last week!!!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Yesterday’s trip to the hospital took almost 12 hours and we were so worn out that we both went straight to bed! I’ve got up early (for a Saturday) in the hope that I can get to see my dentist as I’m getting an abscess on a tooth. Ouch!

  • Andrea Amy

    was a quiet day. my youngest has strep so he had to stay home from school. we just took it easy, hung out on the sofa and played games.

  • Rita M

    The day is just about over, but it started raining this evening. In my part of the country (central California) we just say “Thank You Lord!!”

  • Buffy G

    Well hey, thanks for asking. My day has been okay. My daughter (who is 5 on Monday) absolutely hates brushing her teeth, so that took about 40 minutes this morning. No worries, we were only 10 minutes late for her preschool class.
    But Dunkin Donuts gave me a large latte when I purchased a small, and then gave me a free donut for my little guy. Also, I got to drop off about 700 pounds worth of toys and stuffed animals to a second hand store from my kids’ play room to make way for a birthday party this weekend. These things make me happy.

  • Gina Ferrell

    My day was great and the weather is so pretty. I love spring and all the pretty flowers blooming and of course the birds chirping in the morning.

  • Annmarie W.

    My day has been pretty relaxing! And kids came home from school, and it’s been pretty uneventful. Then hubby came home & built a fire in the fireplace. Nice way to start the weekend!

  • ginette4

    Had an amazing day..spent the day with my sister, her daughter and law and grand daughter…wow we had so much fun

  • Cathy French

    Today is going ok but not great. Think I’ll get in the kitchen and make a nice cheesecake to get my mind off of things.

  • Russ Reynolds

    It’s been a nice quiet day so far – no complaints. A light rain in the morning to perk up the garden and quiet time with coffee – beauty!

  • Heather E

    Stressing. My parents are coming this weekend. I just had a verbal altercations with my 19 year old. Sigh. Happy weekend, everyone…

  • Sarah L

    Teaching my swim class then heading up to Estes Park thru Sunday for the chorus retreat. Weather is supposed to be lovely.

  • Mai T.

    I arrived early to work today and found nobody’d gotten here yet so I got to do some tasks in peace before they poured in. My visa has not arrived and I’m getting nervous.

  • Amanda

    Honestly the last few days have been pretty rough. My grandma is starting chemo next week and she is having a hard time emotionally. It has been difficult to get through all of the many things you have to coordinate with cancer.

  • Tamra Phelps

    I got up early to get Mom prepared for her doctor’s visit (hook her up to her portable oxygen.) When I get up early, I just drag after about 1 or 2 in the afternoon (even if I had plenty of sleep.) I’m just not a morning person!

  • Cathy French

    Today is a bit better than yesterday. However I keep thinking about the huge blowup with my dad the other day. Suffice it to say we’ll never speak again.

  • Judy Cowan

    Woke up not feeling too great today so not the best day. Hopefully it will be short lived, have too much to do over the weekend to get sick.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I want to go back to bed! I had a really bad night. I’ve hurt my back but when I lie flat to help it, I start to cough & that wakes me up. Can’t win!

    • Tamra Phelps

      When I had a pinched nerve in my back, I couldn’t lie flat. Try laying just slightly on your side, with a pillow slightly under your back. Might help. Helped me.

  • Judy Thomas

    It has been a lovely cool day here which is a lovely change from the hot and humid summer that we have been having.

  • MPaula

    I am decluttering and packing to move. Yesterday and today so far have been productive. I ran out of empty boxes so I arranged to get more today with a friend of mine. Until then …

  • Andrea Amy

    My youngest had to stay home from school today, he’s very feverish. Will have to take him to the doctor tomorrow if they fever doesn’t break.

  • Mai T.

    Hopefully this day will end up fine though all my limbs are aching like hell after yesterday workout. I only with for weekend to be here already so I can relax.

  • Stephen Lee

    So many things to do, yet so little time! But such a wonderful and sunny day! Everything’s fine, looking forward to the rest of the day.

  • Tamra Phelps

    What a day. Babysitting 3 kids, when at least 2 are always fighting, makes me want to scream. I feel like passing out old-fashioned ‘whoopings’ lol!

  • Sarah L

    Fun swim class today – had 8 people. I think we’ve got the classes settled now that one of the instructors decided to only do subs. I’ll be teaching on Fridays.

  • Aishah Bukhari

    Minus the sinusitis, today was an okay day. Half of my day spent in bed and another half spent on food-hunting activity with cousins.

  • ginette4

    My day is going well..a little cold here today…raining again but better than snow..cannot wait for the beautiful weather to arrive

  • Heather E

    I have DECIDED to be positive today. Not really feeling it, but I’m going to “fake it til I make it”. 🙂

  • Carrie H.

    I am having one of those mornings where there is a lot of little stuff to do but I’m having a hard time gettng motivated

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    Last night’s rehearsal went really well and we got our costumes. I’m a bit disappointed as it’s more Sister Act than Victorian London but other than that not a whole lot happening.

  • Mai T.

    I browsed AMAZON for some nice cross shoulder bag to buy. It’s hard to purchase online since I can’t try it on to see if it suits or is big enough. There are many good looking ones though.

  • Melanie Borhi

    my day went well, rook my son out to walmart with me and my boyfriend and exchanged an diaper bag we only bought 11 days ago but it has already had a rip in it. had iced coffee and relaxed, was great.

  • Jennifer Reed

    My day was pretty good. I am recuperating from a minor surgery and I may have overdone it physically but overall I am feeling well. I got my house cleaned up and feel positive today.

  • Kathy Ross

    My days going pretty good! It’s not over yet, but I’m sure the rest of the day will go well also. The only downside is it’s a bit cold out. But no rain or snow yet.

  • Josie

    I woke up feeling horrible this morning but not doing to badly right now. Hoping the sun comes out actually. It always perks me up! Missing my kids 🙁

  • Cathy French

    Today finds me quite anxious. My father and I are estranged but I recently found out hes in a nursing home and I don’t know whats going on. I’m going to try to visit him today if he’ll see me.

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    You know that feeling when you wake up more tired than when you went to bed? Bleh! These are the times I wish I liked coffee – my engine needs a jump start!

  • Heather E

    Not sure what’s up with me today. My three mile walk took a full hour. I normally finish 6-8minutes faster than that. It honestly may be the music choices I had available… 🙁

  • Carrie H.

    why does my 3yo say he wants to sleep with us when what he really means is whisper/sing to himself and roll around?

  • Mai T.

    “Nature, the soul, love, and God, one recognizes through the heart, and not through the reason… Reason is a tool, a machine, which is driven by the spiritual fire.” I came across this saying today and it has me thinking all day.

  • Deborah Caudill

    My day has been good. It was a beautiful spring day with flowers blooming and brillant sunlight. I am recuperating from 2 falls and 2 surgeries to repair and replace numerous broken bones. I was able to get out in the sunshine and fresh air even though I have to use a walker to get around. Now, they are calling for a freeze tonight, but that’s the way the weather is in North Carolina.

  • Judy Cowan

    It has been a good day, went shopping and got a new summer outfit! Snow is melting again and hopefully will begone for good this time.

  • doug gerard

    well, went to the dr. this morning and she said my blood pressure was 140 over 106, but I took some pills and am better now!

  • Sarah L

    No swim class today. Had to take my car in since the belts they installed last week were screeching. A quick tightening and all was good.

  • ginette4

    Day has been full of ups and downs..had an appointment..got up early to get ready and beat traffic then get a call on my way out to say the appointment is cancelled due to the weather..so much for waking up at 6:00am

  • Jessica M

    My day is going well! I’m due with my first baby in August and had a great dr. appointment this morning and everything looks great. I feel like a beached whale but at least it’s all for a good cause! 🙂

  • Cathy French

    I’m contemplating my trip to see my father in the nursing home. Seems hes been in and out of hospitals recently and is now in a nursing home. We have been estranged and he didn’t even let me know what was going on.

  • Catherine R

    Well, it’s Monday, so things could be better LOL. To make things harder, I accidentally left my coffee at home this morning. Certainly makes for a long, tired day.

  • Heather Ellis

    After losing 25 pounds this year I have hit a plateau. 🙁 Time to kick it from 3 miles a day to 6. #justdoit

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’m going to spend the day cooking! I’ve got rehearsals every evening this week as well as taking Mum up and down to Dublin to see her oncologist, her new surgeon …. I shall fill the freezer with individual portions of beef curry, lasagne & shepherd’s pie so we can still eat properly even though we’re rushed.

  • Andrea Amy

    Was a good day, just about ready to call it quits and head up to bed. Easter break is over, so back to school and back to routine tomorrow.

  • Mai T.

    Boss is not in the office today so I get to leave early for my second job. It’s sometimes nice to actually have 2 different jobs in case you get bored with one.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, it’s spring break week for the local schools this week, so that means a week of watching my niece & nephews while their parents work! So, up early tomorrow.

  • Deborah Wellenstein

    I am having a great day-we are having homemade chicken tenders for dinner, and I hope to make a lemon ice box cake for dessert!

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    I’ve just got back from a 6-hour rehearsal for the musical Oliver! It was the first time to do it onstage & with props etc and it went surprisingly well!

  • Judy Cowan

    Woke up to snow this morning, not impressed! Other than that my sister is coming for a visit today and we are having her birthday dinner so it will be a good day.

  • Suzanne K

    I’m up and had my morning coffee and am getting ready for a nice jog thru local orange groves, so pretty well.

  • Carrie H.

    it has been so windy/gusty that we have our across the street neighbor’s trashcan visiting. Looks like we’ll be on debris duty today

  • Janet W.

    My day is going well so far! I have a list of errands I need to run today so afterwards I’m hoping to feel accomplished!

  • Barbara

    Well, it’s about 3:00 a.m. and the cat woke me up by sticking her butt in my face…the day can only get better! I’m going to go have pancakes because I need a sugar hit.

  • Terri S

    Today was a good day. I didn’t get really anything done except a huge dent in my book but that is what Sundays are for…

  • Lori Humphrey

    My day has been exhausting. The kids have been out of school all week and we have been spring cleaning. But it seems like every room I clean is dirty again the very next day.

  • Wanda Tracey

    I had a great day with my husband daughter.I even got to talk to my baby grandson
    on the phone.I am not sure what he was talking about but I loved it anyway.It was kind of a
    foreign language he was speaking. LOL 🙂

  • Stacey Dean

    My day was just marvelous. I got to spend the majority of the day with my fiance. We ate at Subway and then went grocery shopping at WalMart. Every day that I’m with my fiance is like a honeymoon to me.

  • Barbara

    It was SNOWING here today. Not just flurries either, real snow. In April. That’s not right. I had to go out in it too but I went to get my hair cut and I like how it turned out so it’s overall a good day, right?

  • Diana Corlett

    It is a beautiful sunny spring day with a promise of flowers…errr…showers. Truly everything is budding like crazy and I have an urge to search out my old skipping rope! Yay spring!

  • Heather E

    No alarm this morning. What a great feeling! 2 three mile walks today. Down two pounds this week. Life is good. 🙂

  • ginette4

    Having a great day..went and visited my great niece and we had a great visit together..she’s so cute and growing so fast

  • Judy Cowan

    Been a busy day, laundry, cleaning and cooking. Just finished making a peanut butter cheesecake & homemade french bread. Mind you it is snowing out so not liking that!

  • Tamra Phelps

    After nice warm temps last week, I can’t believe it’s going to drop down below freezing the next 3 night in KY! What happened to Spring? Right now, the wind is blowing so hard that outside my window it looks like snow (it’s actually the white blossoms from the big pear trees across the street being blown off!)

  • Debra Guillen

    Today is Saturday and cleaning day which I always dread, but it is going good and I always love it when I finish and look over the end result.

  • Lorna Ledger

    Hello, I am not bad thank you, thank you for a lovely giveaway, we all have colds here (my family are in Nottingham, the UK) – Have a great weekend all

    yesterday was weeding, today is house cleaning and researching how to get the #%&&##%! squirrels out if my garden

  • Mai T.

    A Saturday at work again, and then run for 4km. 2nd time of running this year and it feels great. I hope I can keep up with twice a week schedule til the autumn.

  • Andrea Amy

    Its 1:13 in the morning and I can’t sleep so I’m on the computer. Hoping for a nice quiet weekend, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous here in Calgary.

  • Christy Peeples DuBois

    My day is going good. I am a sahm and my two daughters are in college but I still look forward to the week end. The reasons are different now; now I am always hoping the girls get to come home and that’s always a treat. I hope your day has gone good and that you have a great week end.

    • Deb P

      I don’t feel too good today , but the car is doing better today. Today it was 64 out side. It’s raining this evening , good for the flowers. Have a nice weekend.

  • Nikki D

    I’m so happy that it’s finally Friday. This week has been dragging a little. I’m ready to sit back and relax!

  • Judy Cowan

    So far my day is going okay, spending some time on the computer but I soon have to do some cleaning and make dinner for tonight. Hope you are having a good day.

  • Steve Weber

    Doing pretty great — it’s Friday and I have a buddy coming to visit this weekend – we are going to show him a good time.

  • ginette4

    Day is going well..I’m going to bake blueberry muffins, my first time baking them..I cannot wait to see how they turn out

  • Andrea Amy

    My day is going crappy. April fools day and my immature husband woke me and the kids up at 7:30am (the FIRST day all week that the kids have actually slept in) for a fake family emergency because of April Fools. All it did was prove that after 10 years, my husband knows nothing about me. I hate practical jokes and pranks, and I hate being woken up when I’m sleeping (I don’t sleep well). So, its set up my dad poorly and I’m in a bad mood. Bet you’re glad you asked lol

  • KATE SARSFIELD

    We’ve been so busy this week travelling up & down to Dublin for tests & scans but the good news is the cancer is contained and hasn’t spread to Mum’s lymph nodes etc. Chemo here we come!
