Friday May 11th 2012 breakfast, dinner & Food Drive

Friday May 11th 2012

Sometimes when I work all day
(& can’t take pictures at work – “not allowed” –
the one bad thing about the job! – oh, and the commute!)
– I feel like all I do is EAT!
Hence the food/eating pics for today….

Img_3878
today friend Joyce & I “cheated” on FRED’s
our regular breakfast place  —
today we went to Little Leo’s in Warminster-
minutes from my house.
It’s ok, but for the record, I prefer Fred’s.
Img_3879
saw this car on the road – K9 Meils

“Home Cookin’ for your Hound”

fresh (never frozen!), human-grade, locally prepared “meals”
for your best friend – delivered right to your door each week!
Img_3879a
my neighbor, who happens to be out of town,
got these nice flowers from her son for
Mothers’s Day — so I adopted them for the
weekend until she gets back.
Img_3880
I got home late from work & starving of course.
We went over to our standby place for a bite to eat.
Img_3881
crisp garden salad
Img_3882
pasta purses with fontina cheese & prosciutto
Img_3884
couldn’t decide on red or white & I never know what
I am going to eat so I generally will take one of each.
Img_3886
Food Drive Saturday!!!!  
Leave a bag of food for your letter carriers
Img_3887
my bag is ready to be collected!
Q
Amarula – have you tried this yet??
It is better than Baileys & it helps the elephants!
Quidditch20practice
harry potter fans – ENJOY!

consistent action is key!

Thursday May 10th 2012 Chester troublemaker, yoga, mother’s day

Thursday May 10th 2012

Img_3874
Chester got a “ticket” for being off his leash
when I was running with him in the park
at the pond like I have for the past 8 years.
The Animal Control guy commented on
how well behaved Chester was because he
sat so patiently as he was written up.
Img_3875
Chester is sorry 😦
Img_3875a
smoking area vs dog park
Img_3876
I went to FREE YOGA class at Solebury Club
in Buckingham -it’s like a Spa —
NOTHING like LA FITNESS.
I’m sure the dues are at least double
what I pay at LA Fitness. 
Img_3876a
Yoga has it’s own studio  — no bikes or weights
like at LA Fitness. It’s very nice. And FREE!
Img_3877
AND – they give you these little morsels
of yumminess. You definitely do not
get these at LA Fitness…….
Img_3878a
ALERT: there is going to be a Yoga Flash Mob
in Doylestown for First Friday.
7pm Starbucks June 1st.
(We practiced the routine)

I’d like to attend but will be at a
Wine Making clas that night.
I need more time in my life to
do all I want to do.
Do you ever feel like that??
Img_3878b
What’s YOUR favorite exercise??
P1040482
time to retire the old wallet.
Why is it so hard to give up something old,
familiar & ratty????
P1040485
the new & improved wallet. leopard. ROAR.
P1040487
neighbor Don is busy prepping
for a big party
this weekend.  It is for HIM – it is his 60th birthday
& he is doing all the work to get ready.
There are going to be a couple bands & karaoke.
Certainly will be fun.
I guess it’s not a surprise party?

Here is the question….
WHAT do we get him as a birthday gift?? 
HELP!
R
Mother’s day is SUNDAY!!!
I work in a wine store.
What can I get for you???
I will advise if you give me parameters.
email/text me before Friday 5/11/12 7pm.
T
Caption for this picture anyone???

They must be part Eskimo since they are
kissing with their noses.

Should the lamb be ticketed for no leash?
Do lambs require leashes? Licenses?
V
FOCUS ON WHAT’S WORKING RIGHT.

a friend asked if I was “worried” about not
finding/having a job. the answer is NO.

1.) I DO have a job albeit only part-time
which I LOVE – the job & part-timeness of it.
(how many can say they LOVE their job?)

2.) I feel like I am taking steps in the right
direction to get me where I am going.
Would I like to go faster? Yes. But I am
not going to worry about it.
Worrying is a waste of time & energy.
I’d rather use that energy for more
positive things, like looking for full-time
opportunities & networking.
Why Worry?????

3.) on that note — please feel free to pass
on my resume as I would no doubt be
a wonderful asset to any company
that recognizes my value….
W
LIFE.
I like the part about acting GOOFY!

==============================
Sometimes you have to stop
worrying, wondering, and doubting.
Have faith that things will work out,
maybe not how you planned,
but just how it’s meant to be.

5/9/12 the gym, lotion, Weasel, 39lb cat, CONES, Resume

5/9/12

 

A
I’d really like to attend this BOOT CAMP class but
will be attending a Brewfest instead.
(tickets still available!)

Just wanted to give a heads up to those
who are LA FITNESS members & didn’t know about
the Extreme Boot Camp.
You can do anything for an hour right?
B
been making deviled eggs as a tasty snack to
have on hand. I love buying LOCAL – as you know!
Img_3868
“needed” some lotion & this is where I like to get it:
Bath & Body Works. I don’t go here often & they gave
me some pretty good coupons – does anyone need some?
Img_3868a
These are the lotions I like.
If you ever need to buy me a gift & don’t want
to get me WINE – this would be a perfect gift for me!
These specific flavors too.
Img_3869
poor Weasel – she just can’t hang on the longer runs
anymore – I brought her home after 1/2 mile.
Then ran another 1.5 miles with Chester.
Looped around & got Weasel for the last 1/2 miles.
Img_3873
REMINDER — leave a bag of groceries at your
mailbox on Saturday – the mail carrier will pick it up
(unless you are Debbie) 
P1040480
I tried to make pizza dough on the grill = FAIL!

what do “they” say ……learn from your mistakes….
don’t do this……too long at too high a temperature
Q
our neighbor Kaylie made this paper mache Ocelot.
I think she is in 2nd grade???
Isn’t it cool??? I need one…….
R
fyi – in case you haven’t heard:
MEOW the 39 lb cat passed away…
as my friend said – it was a CATastrophe….
S
View from our front porch —
 friend Mike asked if he should come
over & help M
ichael put out the cones….
I love how my friends are so “cone aware”….
case in point – see below:
Truck
friend Shannon sent this from Mesa, AZ.
Showing me how conscientious with the cones
this COX cable guy was – I told her she should
“report” him….. no one ever does that!
I do.
U
Don’t lose hope.

I always try to stay hopeful but this
job search has been brutal!
Do you know anyone who is hiring?
Please pass on my resume! TY!

—————————————————–

The route to our destination is never a straight one. – We take questionable turns and we get lost.
But it doesn’t always matter which road we embark on;
what matters is that we embark.
Either way life will likely get a little complicated,
and bring unexpected hurdles and changes.
But that’s okay.
Sometimes you have to stumble
and feel weak for a little while
to realize how strong you really are.

Tuesday 5/8/12 Jamison Pour House, Maurice Sendak

Tuesday 5/8/12

Img_3862
Michael wanted to go out after I got home from work.
He REALLY likes the Pour House because they have
a nice beer selection & good food too.
Img_3862a
I was surprised
it wasn’t too crowded especially since
the Flyers & the Phillies were playing –
Img_3863
I always like to get the sampler so I can try
different beers – for “work purposes“, of course.
Img_3864
their salads are HUGE!
1/2 of this went home for lunch the next day
P1040472
We ran into our friend Bill so he had dinner & drinkswith us.
Great seeing you Bill!
Q
did you hear??  Maurice Sendak died 😦
R
He wrote Where the Wild Things Are –
Did you read the book or see the movie?
Me neither but I would like to…..

you can’t have a rainbow without a little rain….

20-uncommon-career-lessons-from-my-weekend-with-warren-buffett

I regularly follow Scott Dinsmore’s blog & was happy to see his post on the Warren Buffett meeting this past weekend.
It’s quite an excellent recap of the Shareholder meeting.
You can’t read the post referenced below & not learn SOMETHING.
If you ever get the opportunity to attend the meeting
I’d highly recommend it.
