THIS IS A BULLRUSH OR AS SOME CALL THEM CAT O’ NINE TAILS. THIS IS ALSO FROM THE BIRD SANCTUARY. I AM ONLY GOING TO GET THIS STARTED AND WILL HAVE TO FINISH LATER AS I HAVE THE BOYS AND IT IS ALMOST TIME TO TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL. AFTER THAT I WILL GO TANNING, WORKOUT AT THE GYM AND GO GET A FEW GROCERIES.I STARTED TANNING YESTERDAY. THAT GIVES ME ALMOST A MONTH BEFORE THE TRIP. I ALSO JOINED THE GYM FOR A MONTH. I DID 4.75 MILES ON THE BIKE. I LIKE THE BIKE IT IS EASY ON MY KNEES.I’M BACK, IT’S 12:45 AND I LEFT AT 8:30. MY, GOODNESS, WHERE DOES THE TIME GO!!! Now I was busy during that time. I dropped the boys off at school and headed for the tanning room/ fitness center. I had a 15 minute tan but this really means 25 minutes by the time you dress and undress. Then I did 25 minutes on the bike. I did 6 miles today, yesterday was 4.75. After that I had to go and get a replacement set of earphones for my MP4 player. I ripped the left ear out of the wiring so I did not have stereo. That’s okay, I didn’t like the other ones they were hard plastic, my new ones are gel, much... more comfy. Then I dropped off my prescriptions. Next stop was the grocery store for some fresh veggies. Finally, I went to the Dollar Store. I picked up a bunch of new cards. I always keep plenty on hand. I got the boys a few more activities. I bought some new doilies for my bedroom and other odds and ends. You sure do get a bang for your buck. I love that store. Then I came home and a friend here on DS made some gorgeous jewellery and it arrived today. It has matching choker necklace, bracelet and earrings. They are beautiful, all handmade bead work!!!Oh, yah, and then there was an unpleasant surprise in the mail as well. My tax statement from the bank. Our mortgage payments include our property tax. Well, apparently they have not been deducing enough and now my monthly payments will increase by almost $100.00. I am not a happy camper. I have an appointment on Monday to see them and give them a piece of my mind ( not that I have any to spare LOL).Then I stripped the bed and emptied the dishwasher and poof the time was gone!The corn beef and cabbage I made for the first time yesterday turned out so.... yummy. It will definitely make it onto the fall/winter regular dishes.Anyway, I’m going to close for now. I wish all of you a bright sunny day full of many happy thoughts. Debbie
