Journal Entry ~ 4/30/20

A few sentences about each day...

April 22, 2020 - April 29, 2020

Wed/22 ~ I didn't get a walk in today but still earned 2 Fit Points.  I broke down and bought a new treadmill.  I felt so awkward going to get it even with my mask on.  Doug was tired this evening so he's going to unbox it and put it together for me sometime tomorrow.  NO more excuses!

Thurs/23 ~ Doug put the new treadmill together for us.  Laken ran 2 miles and didn't even have to use her rescue inhaler.  The daily inhaler seems to be the right direction to go.  I posted a video of her acting like a goofball on facebook!  Now, she's embarrassed!  I had to laugh!  hehe

Fri/24 ~ I got up and got right on the treadmill after a good, healthy breakfast.  It felt good to have done and over with early in the day.  I tried another new recipe for supper.  It is called "Virginia's Baked Spaghetti" and was really good.  I'm looking forward to cooking more new recipes in the future.

Sat/25 ~ We watched the "Disney Family Singalong" this evening.  It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it.  Earlier in the day I painted the frame for my porch swing.  Getting outside and being productive felt really good.

Sun/26 ~ I cut my own hair!  And it didn't turn out half bad!  lol  I like it ;)  We had home Church and another quiet afternoon.  We started an "FBI" marathon.  We have the whole season on DVR.

Mon/27 ~ Another masked grocery day came and went.  I think everyone is getting somewhat used to wearing a mask now.  It is interesting to see the variety of masks there are.  Kaylee starts work on Wednesday.  The distribution center is finally bringing in new hires.  It is her first job and we're all a little nervous, I think!

Tues/28 ~ Kaylee is so nervous about starting work tomorrow.  We had to figure out what she will be taking her "lunch".  She decided on a peanut butter and fluff sandwich (her daddy's daughter) and some wheat and cheese crackers.  We have to take the Subaru to the garage tomorrow to get new tires.  They are definitely due.

Until next week,

Colletta

Journal Entry ~ 2/6/20-2/12/20

A few sentences about each day...

February 6, 2020 - February 12, 2020

6/Thurs ~ We decided not to go to the gym tonight.  Doug is trying to get over a bad cough and my back is hurting.  I think we all needed to have a night of rest.  VOTD:  2 Timothy 3:14

7/Fri ~ It was a pretty boring day until Doug and the girls go home.  Kaylee and Shawn went on a date.  Doug, Laken and I went to the Redbox and rented and watched 2 movies:  "Rambo Last Blood" and "Playing with Fire".  VOTD:  Exodus 16:20

8/Sat ~ I gained 3.2 lbs this week :(  I'm thinking about cancelling my WW subscription and trying something else.  It doesn't make sense to pay $50/month to gain weight!  VOTD:  Genesis 32:11

9/Sun ~ We had a Sweet Heart Dinner this afternoon at Church.  Doug served me my food and we had a really good time :)  We even had pictures taken.  Doug is trying to hide in this one :)

10/Mon ~ We took the car to the Subaru garage to have a recall fixed.  It should be good to go now.  I got my hair cut while waiting.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  Hopefully I'll get used to it in a few days!  VOTD:  Acts 8:31

11/Tues ~ Today was grocery day.  I also had to pick Laken up from Science Olympiad practice and then beat feet to Ladies Meeting.  After that, I relaxed a bit by watching "Prodigal Son" and "Biggest Loser".  VOTD:  Acts 17:11

12/Wed ~ Kaylee had to go to the College Testing Center for an Algebra Test.  (She got a 95%!)  We then went to talk to an advisor and financial aid about Kaylee getting her Certificate of Recognition in Business Accounting before switching over to majoring in Art.  Afterward, we stopped at the mall and a few other places for Kaylee to get applications for a Summer job.  VOTD:  James 4:8

Until next week,

Colletta

Thankful Thursday ~ 7/18/19

 

~My brother's trip to Italy!  As I'm typing this my brother is somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean in an airplane on his way home from Italy for a work trip!  Other than my father who was in the Army and was stationed overseas, he's the first one in my family to travel internationally.  We've been tracking his flight and pray that by the time you are reading this he'll be safely home :)

~We paid our car off!  Yes, our Subaru Legacy is now officially ours!  So exciting :)

~Kaylee had an interview!  It was her very first job interview and was good practice for her.  We  haven't heard anything about the job yet but that is OK.  She'll be busy with College.  In a way, I'd rather her just focus on her school work but God's will be done :)

~Cotton Candy Ice Cream!  Laken's very favorite ice cream flavor is Cotton Candy.  Our local ice cream stand, Sundae's, had Cotton Candy as their flavor of the week so another trip for ice cream was pretty much a must!  Laken got her Cotton Candy and I got another Peanut Butter Sundae.  Win, win :)

~Kaylee's Driver's test is tomorrow!  Kaylee goes for her driving portion of the driver's test at 1pm tomorrow.  We've been practicing parallel parking and what we THINK is the driving route for a few weeks now.  She wants to go back and practice again today.  I'd appreciate prayers that she does well on the exam and passes.  She really needs her license so she can drive herself to College by August 19th!  Of course, I'll be a nervous wreck but that's OK :)
 
What are you thankful for today?

P.S.  I hope you can stop by my ETSY SHOP!

Tea Time ~ Mammograms and Dr. Seuss ~ 3/2/18

 

Grab a cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or your favorite drink
while I share a few things about my life lately...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

~It is officially my BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!  I love turning the calendar over to March.  This is a big year for me.  4-0 !!!  I'm excited!  To celebrate, I got a manicure with my favorite turquoise polish :)

~I got the result of my annual mammogram in the mail.  I'm glad to say that I'm good to go for another year!  Everything looks good :)

~I also received the results of my annual bloodwork.  Everything came back good except for my Vitamin D.  Even though I take 2,000 units a day, I just can't seem to get my numbers to come up.  My doctor is prescribing and additional 50,000 units per week.  Hopefully that will do the trick...

~The Subaru once again has low beams!  Both low beams blew out within days of each other.  The thing with our Subaru is that it isn't a simple bulb change.  Basically, the whole front has to be taken apart to get to the bulb.  I called the little garage we go to and they were able to schedule us to bring the car in on Monday afternoon.  I'm glad to not have to give people high beams anymore!

~Saturday evening we had a Family Movie Night!  We stopped by the Redbox and rented "Wonder" and "Daddy's Home 2".  "Wonder" was wonderful!  "Daddy's Home 2" was hilarious!  Hopefully, I'll write up a Movie Review for each soon.  We had a nice time together complete with M&M's.  The Dollar General was all out of Twizzlers!  Can you believe that???

~Mom and Laken made Chocolate Chip Cookies Tuesday evening.  Yummmmm....

~We had a Senior Parent Meeting last evening.  I can't believe Kaylee is graduating.  In a way, I can't wait for it to be over.  We were handed a whole list of things that are going on in the next few months.  It is a little bit overwhelming.  Senior pictures, senior trip, baccalaureate, due dates, etc.  So much!  It is no wonder Kaylee is feeling overwhelmed also.

~It is Dr. Seuss Week for Laken.  She's had fun participating in the themes for the days.  Her favorite so far was Thursday.  They were to dress as what they want to be when they grow up.  Laken wants to own a bakery, so her costume consisted of an apron and the Chocolate Chip Cookies mentioned above!

How was your week?
