A Merry Christmas Adam to All!

I'm not certain if I will be able to post over the next couple of days, so I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all my blogging friends a Merry Christmas.

For me, the later half of this year has gone by fast. There have been many changes in my family, lots f hustle and bustle. Hopefully, soon, I can get back to blogging.

Good (Sunday) Morning!

What a beautiful day!
Here it is November 18th. The sun is shinning. The temperature is suppose to be about 55 out today. Not bad for the upper mid-west. All this week the weather is suppose to be mild.

What's weather like?

It's almost over!

Do I sound a bit excited? After all I LOVE my job! BUT ... this Fall Season has been L-O-N-G and busy. All this time, (since the first week of August) I have pretty much worked 5 days a week, unless I requested a day off. I'm not complaining, but usually by October I'm down to 4 or 3 days a week. Because of Teacher Conferences, I only worked 2 days this past week. The week ahead I work 3 days.

Setting up cameras for registration.

There is so much to catch up on! Including blogging. So ... come back ... leave comments! I have missed you!

FYI

First ... let me ask ... Why are there always those people who are pests and hanging around to irritate you? Of course ... I'm not talking about you. The person I am speaking of is someone who posts as "ANONYMOUS". Over the past week this person  ... has probably tried ... at least 100 times to leave a post om my blog. REALLY??? I assume they tried so many times because they could not see anything showing up. There is a very good reason for that. My settings were set to where if you post as "ANONYMOUS", I am the only person who can see it. So, trying to get people who view my blog to buy your "knock off drugs" is a futile attempt on your part. However, after blowing up my email mail box, I am now only accepting comments from members of my blog. My apologies to other people who also post as "ANONYMOUS" and have things of value to say.

Yesterday ... I almost posted ...

That this week looked like it would be a sweet, smooth, almost laid back week for work. Ha! How things quickly change.

Today was easy, breezy ... close to home... took me longer to set up and take down than it did to take photos. Actually, I was done taking photos by my posted start time. Packed up and was walking at the door at 9:45am.

Looking at my paperwork for tomorrow, there was no arrival time, no start time, no set up instructions. Hmmm ... asked my boss about it and she set off to find the info I needed. Well ... not really. What she found out was the job has been moved to another date. Now I am doing a job that includes 27 classes of
Kindergartner's through 2nd grader's.

Bump!

So much for smooth. 

The Crispness in the Air

Happy Autumn!
 Last week I updated my blog page with a new Fall look. So, I guess it's time to get back to blogging. I can't believe how time has raced by since the last time I posted, but when you have a bunch of things going on ... you tend to loose track of time ... at least I do.
 Today I just want to say "WELCOME". I hope you start visiting my page again and I hope I continue to blog regularly.

 Has the crisp, Fall air appeared in your area yet? Earlier in the week I was thinking about how not much had changed this past month. The temperature had gone from 90's at the beginning of the month to mid 70's, but it really didn't seem to affect to many things. Then ... almost over night you could see the change. Fall is making her appearance quickly.

 I heard on the news Friday night that Colorado is already in "peek" Fall color. We are not that far along here in the mid-west, but the leaves are changing and falling so fast that it won't be long til all color is over and done.

 I'm still working "crazy" hours, leaving around 5am, so this morning I decided I need to get out  and take some photos before the only thing that is left is brown.

I hope that you are able to get out and feel the change in the air. Enjoy the beauty!

Today I ate an apple

 (<--- not my photo)

A Gala Apple to be exact.

 I am ready to confess! I'm not a very healthy eater. I rarely eat fruit. If you asked me when the last time I had a piece of fruit was ... I would have to say ... maybe a couple of weeks ago ... maybe , I had a banana when I was on vacation.

The reason for this confession? In a few weeks I will be going back to work ... working long hours. I need to eat better. I need to have more energy. I need less salt ... less empty calories.

Loosing 20 to 30 pounds will not make me a super model, but i will help me to feel more energized. Not that I really have a set goal of what I want to lose ... I just want to feel ... better and have more energy.

So, if you have any tips ... PLEASE SHARE THEM!!! 

I know that a great deal of my success will be planning. I mean ... how much planning goes into grabbing a bag of chips?
