Short work week took too long....

I gave myself a gift of a vacation day on Monday, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, trying to catch up with myself on Tuesday was tough. Luckily, the boss-lady was at a week long conference and she was not in all week. By Friday I was caught up and even managed to tackle a very boring job she had assigned me more than a month ago. I think I made good progress and will be able to show her that I did gain ground with a very futile task.

Today is a gorgeous day. It was a slow start with low lying clouds, but now at nearly 11:00AM, it's lovely. Bright, sunny, with a slight breeze.

I did a little research on flights for Thanksgiving in Atlanta and I can get one now for under $250. I'll ask for the Friday after as leave and if I get the go-ahead I'll book the flight. Sandy has offered to pay half the ticket. I'm still thinking about whether to let her do it or not.

I may try to go to Arcola UMC tomorrow. It seems to be calling me. Maybe I can find peace there and join an adult Sunday School class. I really miss that. I attended one for a long time but as people in this area fade away, it just fell by the wayside. I have hopes.

Giant had a sale last week on top round and I bought a 2 lb piece. I have it marinating in fresh lime juice, olive oil, garlic and Paul Newman's Lime Salsa. I'll broil it to med. rare and serve it on a whole wheat tortilla like a fajita. I also found a recipe on Sparkpeople.com for a black bean dish. It calls for onion, garlic and tomato juice to be added to a can of black beans. Well, I have this jar of Newman's..........................I'll use that. Oh yum...I can hardly wait and it is all healthy and within my calorie range.

BJ will be back from the beach late today. I hope to talk to her tomorrow and see how her trip was. David and Sharon have gone off to Myrtle Beach for a weekend away. I hope they enjoy the time away.

I miss them all...............

I'm just hanging out today. May do a little laundry, but I'm not rushing into anything.

God bless you all.
