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

I like you detailing your busy schedule! 6 miles huh? Wow, gotta say I am not even close to that in shape! I\'m gonna try now though-what a motivation!!!! Also, thank you for your kind words - they always help!
You know what I am going to ask, don\'t you? Can I have the recipe for your corn beef an cabbage? It sound good!!
Your day has been a busy one. I\'m glad you are sleeping and feeling better.
I love the dollar store as well. They have many useful and nice things there. I was there yesterday and bought a nice box for us to use on Thursday nights for our thank you box. We will put whatever we are thankful for on a piece of paper and put it in the box. Then the night before we close for the summer we will open it and read all of them. Sounds good, eh?
I hope you have a good day my friend.
Take care,
hugs Cathy
Hi Just a quick minute to let you know all is well. I have Brandon today. He helped me do some grocery shopping at Wal Mart this morning.He goes to kindergarten from 12:30pm to 3:30 pm. His mom will be here at 5:30 to pick him up. I do have a little break. He is so good for me. I stopped by the Dollar Store and got some puzzles for him to play with. I got him a Spiderman Memory game at WalMart. Have a wonderful and peaceful Thursday. Love ya\' Suzanne
Wow, you sure accomplished alot today. It is so good to hear you this way. Going to the tanning bed and exercising always makes me feel better. Its on hold right now while I battle this upper respiratory infection though. I know what you mean about the property tax deduction. My mortgage payment went up $100 a month too. Partly because our property taxes went up. Yikes. Takes a bite out of the budget especially with gas prices what they are. I always love the pics you post. Nature is my favorite inspiration. Blessing to you Debbie and I hope you continue to do well. Hugs
well, sounds like you had a vry busy day! hope you can relax and do some of the things you enjoy tonight...and stay warm!
