Today's Ramblings

Today's Ramblings...

Do I go to Weight Watchers today or not?  I'm on "maintenance", so I only need to weigh in once a month (and I've already gone the previous weeks in May.)  Since it's in the building next door, "going" means I get to eat lunch away from my office, something I almost never do any other day of the week.  "Not going" means I won't know if my slacking off on working out this week has caused an upswing in my weight.  Hmmm...

I'm in the office but I wish I had thought to take today and tomorrow off instead.  Of course, it's too late now (I'm covering for two other people the rest of the week) and I guess I need to just suck it up.

I have an intern "shadowing" me at work for 7 weeks, starting next week.  I still have no idea what projects to give her to do.  Maybe I should pull some stuff together, so we're not wasting having an extra set of hands around.  Oh, I need to check and see if my boss wants me to send an email around to the rest of the department and/or organization about her being here.

Why am I craving mashed potato pizza from Willoughby Brewing Company?  Oh, it's because I'm debating my weekly Weight Watchers meeting.  Perhaps I should go today, after all.

Maybe I can figure out a healthy, Weight Watchers friendly way to make mashed potato pizza at home?  I mean, it's just a really good pizza crust, covered in mashed potatoes, cheese, bacon, and topped with sour cream and scallions.  It can't be too hard to do that, right?  Okay, that's now on my "recipes to try out" list.

DD#1 leaves Saturday for the summer (she's spending it with her bio-dad.)  She's not going to be here for her 20th birthday.  This will be the first time that she hasn't been here for her birthday.  I'm really not liking that but I guess the day had to come, right?  And I'll be calling her anyway.  We can celebrate early with cake tomorrow night (we already did the celebratory "going out to eat" party last week.)  Of course, she still has to wait until her actual b-day to get presents from me.

Next week is the last week of school for DD#3 & 4.  Yay.  I think.  I mean, other than a week at sleepaway summer camp, I'm not sure what else we're going to "do" with them.  DD#3 wants to go to summer orchestra camp but I have no way to get here there and pick her up every day, for 5 weeks, as it's only 2 hours a day.  Plus, summer camp runs right in the middle of it.  Guess that's going to be a "no" to summer orchestra.

Since we're not going anywhere this year for vacation, I'm wondering if I should take a full week off or just take a bunch of 3 and 4 day weekends instead.  I don't want a repeat of last year, where I "forgot" to use my time and ended up taking every Friday off for the last 3 months of 2014.  I think I drove my boss nuts with that (work in the office Monday and Tuesday, work at home Wednesday, work in the office Thursday, and off Friday.)

I gave up diet soda about 3 weeks ago and I'm really excited that I don't miss it.  I, also, gave up the majority of caffeine in my diet at the same time.  I haven't had any caffeine today and, yet, I'm feeling really jumpy.  Why?  Uggh!

I hope I get an email for something I'd actually use from ILoveToReview.com today.  The last couple of emails have been for stuff I really have no interest in, and I'm starting to miss getting deliveries from Amazon.  Of course, I could use the time to update my other blog (maryreviewsstuff.blogspot.com) with stuff I've been received from ILTR, that I reviewed on Amazon but haven't posted yet.  (Does that sentence even make sense?  Oh well, I'm leaving it "as is.")

Perhaps I should stop posting and get my butt back to work.  We have auditors in the office (still) and I'm sure they're going to hit me up for more reports, audit confirmations, etc. soon enough.

/rambling done... for now
