Hi Guys,
Yes Kathryn, Robert waved and stuck his head out of the window. He shouted "Hey babe, need a lift??"
Yea right! LOL! I couldn’t tell if he waived or not, side windows tinted and I spotted him through the windshield.
Had a busy day got some cleaning done, never gets finished. My daughter has been bugging me about cutting off all, and I mean All her hair! So what the heck, I cut it like the singer Reanna. Shaved up the back with long bangs in her eyes. It’s cute but quite a shocker. She has been dying it black for about 11 years and wants to go back to her natural ash blonde. Black is impossible to remove so with the short cut ( it was way past her shoulders) we will try to strip it and dye it closer to her natural shade.
Have a great night!

Hi Guys,
Had a great time at "the Taste". Hated all the walking, my legs are killing me. Ate too much expensive food, but it was all good, esp. the frozen cheese cake dipped in dark chocolate! Too good for words but I do believe I walked it off.
So the concert was fantastic! Los Lonely Boys ( how far is Heaven, was their hit song a few years back) did the warm up. Los Lobos was rocking but the big suprise was at the oncore. The two bands got on stage and were joined by ROBERT PLANT, of Led Zepplin fame, fyi! Wow, a rock legend right in front of me! They did "Treat her Right’ then led into a little medley of Led Zepplin songs. what a blast! As we were walking back to the train we walked past a Lincoln Contental with a British driver, I told my daughter what do you want to bet Robert Plant is in the back seat. Sure enough, there he was! I waived to him.
Need to get out more, that was fun!
Gotta get some sleep!
peace

Hi Guys,

Hi P, Jules, Larry and all my gt friends!
I am tired, busy day. Went to my ex husbands son gradutation party. Took my mom and daughter. Lots of driving. Sad to say car is better but not cured. I have to take the car back to the place I took it last year for front end work. I forgot what they did but My brother heard the car today and stopped me to say that yes, those front end parts were bad again. This is my fault. I nailed a curb hard, so hard that people in the building came out to see the "crash".
Driving like a girl I’m afraid! My bad!
Having urges today. Something about driving to pick up my mom, seeing casino signs, knowing that i was not going anyway, but still had the thought.
I am afraid my assistants comments were less about my work talents amd more about her not wanting to work by herself, but just maybe it’s because I’m so wonderful. I’ll go with your Judgement Larry, always better than mine!
peace

Good Morning!
1st day off, up at 6am, why am I up?
Got on the scale, ok, this stops today! What happened to taking care of myself? One step at a time I guess but I need to make foward steps, not backward!
Happy that the goal should be ok, just have to let go and let God. I’ve pushed and shoved and done the best I could.
As long as this works out i should be off my probation and be able to apply for other jobs within the company. Again, i will have a hard time getting another job outside the company due to the credit issues I created with my gambling.I am grateful I have a job and with little choice I have to make the best of it. My assistant manager mentioned how hard next week will be for her. I rememded her again that I have the same problems when she is off, as our manager doesn’t schedule any coverage and I have had to work many days as the only banker in her absence.
Graduation party today. Hope the weather holds, stormy again.
Gonna try a little chat.
peace

i think i can, i think i can……
I Think I did! Looks like I made it! Thanks for the prayers and support! The goal should be done but won’t know for sure as they try to disqualify as much as the can to avoid paying out any bonus but I should be ok. Hope tp pickup a couple of accounts tomorrow for some wiggle room but I’ve done the best that I could.
The loan modification is ok too! The letter asking for $$ was done before they has givin me credit for my payments so there is no money due. Thank You Jesus!
I think the car is better too!
Yes, today was a better day! Thanks for letting me vent!
peace

Larry, I was so blinded with rage over my day from H*LL i missed your post and your well thought out wisdom. You are always right on the mark!
P, Lost, thanks for chiming in! I love you all!
Car from H*LL, Part 2
So after the fedex meltdown i get into my dauhters cars and……wait for it……THE SPARE WAS FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My neighbor, my sweet neighbor who I haved live across the balcony from for over 10 years and i only know him by his first name , leans over and throws me his keys! The insureance card in in the glove box, the tank is full, keep it as long as u need it! I barely know him and he gave me a jump, changed a tire, and gave me his car, no questions asked!
What an angel!
So i get to the chiro late, get yet another massage therapist who tells me my back is so tight she can hardly move a mussle on me, I told her don’t ask!
Dropped off tire to get patched.
I drive to the dr for my daughter to pick up rx for her, stop at the car wash and clean the neighbors car as I knew he would not take any $$ from me. Got a call from tire place, can’t fix tire, hole in the sidewall! Call daughter to see if she has road hazzard coverage on the tires, they are new. She doesn’t know! Have to call her dad, he bought them, he doesn’t know. Want to shoot myself but i don’t own a gun! LOL!
No Insurance, daughter wants leaking tire put back on car so she can drive it. NO! You will be stranded with no spare so I have her poor dad drive around, get a tire, bring it here, take rim, have tire mounted.
In the mean time…..My car is ready, neighbor takes me in his nice clean car to pick mine up. Yet another favor from him today!
Picked up my car, picked up daughter from the train, took her home to let the dogs out, picked up her boyfriend, met up with my brother, niece ,her husband and new baby,had dinner. EX husband picked up tire and met us at the restruant.
Came home, wireless fixed (YEA!!) Tire on the car, daughter on her way, ex just left. Still need to do paperwork from the PT job so I can get in bed and CRASH!
What a day! And no, i didn’t make it to GA tonight. Maybe this will qualify as a "reason" for not going instead of an "excuse".
Tomorrow, is another day!
peace

Thanks for the support Vera and Kw,
Today was destined to stink I guess. My borrowed car didn’t start, called daughter to get her car. Neighbor jumped the car and I got it back to my brothers houes. Took daughter to the train, got a late start, had a ton of stuff to do. Got home and daughters car has a flat!
Neighbor changed flat but spair is low! Off to get air, go to chiro, go to pick up meds for daughter, go home so my nieces husband can fix my wireless connection, pick up daughter from the train and hopefully pick my car up!
Just got a fedex package for the loan modification. They want $600 to do this. I don’t have it.
I am ready to throw in the towel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Good Morning,
Interesting chat this morning. Wish I stayed in bed.
I don’t know why the subject of GA is such a sore one for me. I have found my friend who is in aa so judgemental that i have not spoken to her since May, and don’t really care if i see her again or not.
I see a lot of similarites between that program and GA. That whole "thats an excuse" thing really buggs me. You asked a question, i gave an answer. Period. I hate being made to feel like I have to defend myself. As for someone to say you haven’t hit rock bottom, well that is different for everyone.
My story is here, feel free to think what ever u want. I said I wasn’t mad but I am such a people pleaser I didn’t want to admit it. I am, but I will get over it.
peace

Prayer is working! Now if i could pray my hip to be better……..

Hi Guys!
Made it through the day, not too bad once I ate and got rid of the spinning feeling. My friend stoped by, I haven’t seen him in a few weeks,I guess I just needed to blow off steam, I am worried about that goal. I am close, the stars need to line up as each added feature adds to the payout. I am shout about $300 now but I will be closing a loan Friday and if I can get him to open a little savings and take a credit card it will be about a $150 credit. SO CLOSE! Prayers are Working. Thank u God!
Hope to be on the chat.
peace

Hi Guys,
Glad to have caught a little of the chat. PC troubles! Got to get this fixed.
Stupid Asst manager tells me not to wait so long to get to my goal next quarter. I said you’re kidding right?
I didn’t get the one big deal that got her to the goal(credit to her, 800, her goal, 1600. my goal 2000, I’m at 1650, without any big deal to help me out). I told her i did like 20 loan applications with only 2 getting approved, it’s not like i haven’t been trying! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!UGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew, thats out. I feel better!
Wish i could workout. up another 2 lbs! My back is better but my butt still hurts! See chrio again tomorrow, anotjer $30 bucks but what can u do?
No desire to gamble. Thats nice. I will enjoy the honeymoon while it lasts. I offically quit pt job today. Not enough hours for too little pay. Need to sell on ebay or get another pt job. I have been working 6 days a week for over a year. I don’t want all that "drive to the casino" time. Maybe I can find a daytime ga class.

Hi guys.
Happy Fathers Day gentlemen! Hope u all had a good day. I took my brother out to lunch with his daughter then came back and went for a swim.
Had to drive to indianna to buy smokes, $35 dollars less a carton there. Weird to drive that way, buy some cheaper gas, .30 per gallon, and head home. Will i ever get used to that?
I am closing in on that sales goal, 5 days to go. Prayers apreaceated on that front.
Waiting to see if anyone checks in on the chat, making chicken soup, then off to bed.
One week until vacation and I can’t wait. May not get to go anywhere but time away from the job is priceless!
peace

Hi Guys!
Chatted a little, good to see old and new friends.
Treated my friend to the movies tonight. $20 bucks, a nice treat and a drop in the bucket compaired to what gambling costs.
Felt good to be able to treat someone for no reason except that I wanted to!
