Resolutions

Okay, so a week has past. Do you still have your resolutions for the new year? I do. I have decided to start Weight Watchers, as there are several pounds I would like to lose. I am one of those people who have to check in with someone in order to do it. Sounds funny, I know. That is just what works for me.
I had my kid Friday, Saturday, and this morning. I just returned from taking him over to where his dad is at (the dreaded aunt's house). I won't see him again until tomorrow when I actually get to pick him up from school. It will be a treat for both of us.
I am finding balance between work and home. The problem is that when I am at home, I get bored and then get on the computer. I need a hobby. Not really though. In a few days I will be finishing up on the packing and actually move myself out of this apartment.
So with that, I should get to work on more organizing and packing. Talk to you all later...

Saturday, January 06, 2007

Looking back at my previous post, I forgot to mention that the plate was Josh's. He wanted me to tell everyone so you could see what he had for dinner. My kid had a chicken leg, potatoes, and carrots. He's not a big fan of asparagus.

Dinner



Well, dinner took longer than I anticipated. The chicken I bought was bigger than I gave it credit for.
I had to cook it an extra 30 minutes before it was done, therefore all of the sides had to be warmed up. Oh well, it still tasted good. We also had mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, and asparagus. It was a good meal. The last supper until we move out of the apartment. We will probably live on sandwiches and easy-to-fix dinners until the end of the month. Oh well.
It's back to work tomorrow, but I am looking forward to starting on my new projects. I will be resetting some stores in certain departments. I really want to build a better relationship with all of the department managers. They are the backbone of the stores.
One department head in particular is a deli manager. She reminds me of myself when I was "growing up" with the company. She is immature and has a mouth and temper. Hopefully, she will be able to learn to control that. It took me a long time to figure out how to be professional and how to be a "green" leader.
Well, I am going to read up and see if anyone has updated since the last time I checked in. Hope everyone had a great day. Good night.

Off To The Store

Well, I am off to the store. No, not to work. To be a customer! I need to get some things for dinner and some light bulbs. I am packing up most of my kitchen after today's meal, so I want to make it kind of special. We will be using limited pots and pans along with the microwave after this evening. Macaroni and cheese every night. Just kidding. Well, gotta run. The kid is eyeballing the Playstation. If he gets on, there is no getting off. See ya!

Saturday Cartoons

I woke up right at nine. I also woke up three times during the night. Just knowing I didn't have to work today let me fall right back to sleep though.

Okay, so my kid is watching cartoons. I must say cartoons are not the same as they used to be. I don't remember RobotBoy, SpongeBob SquarePants, or Kids Next Door. I do remember the Smurfs, Thundercats, Strawberry Shortcake, Loony Tunes, and Transformers. I have a little brother, so that is why I know what some of the more boyish cartoons are. It's just funny how much they have changed over the years.

Well, this definitely will not be the only post for today. I am cooking tonight and I am going to post a picture of dinner. Should be nice. Talk to you all later...
