What's your poison?

Okay, I'll give it a try.. I'm not half as clever as Statia, but how about a fall goal? Mine is trying to lose a few lbs. before the holidays so I can then regain them, and getting my book finished.

No imbibing, but what about the rest of you? cheers, J.

Not imbibing yet.

Good question, as my fall goal just changed today. My goal had been to help DH find a job as he was on layoff notice, but just today we found out he will not be laid off after all. WOOHOO!! So now I am goal-less. I'll think of something else. :-? Hmmmm....

OK I have a new goal. I've been really stressed out lately because I've been working a lot of overtime. This is due to turnover, so we are very busy trying to catch up and train new people at the same time. Additionally I am trying to learn the duties of the people who left so I'm both the teacher and the student.

So my goal is to learn as much as possible, teach as much as possible, and above all stop stressing out about the situation.

I am so tempted to book a getaway to the desert.. when my other half returns(two weeks), I may do just that.
To me, that is one happy arrangement, no explanations, just see you next week, dinner in the freezer, get the kids to school! Love you, mean it,lol.

Mornin' glories!

Red wine last night...coffee this morning, **yawn**.

My goal this fall is to learn as much Italian as possible before our trip in December. Lesson 1., how to order wine... ;-)

Good Morning!

Earl Grey tea (decaf) is my morning posion.

My Fall goal is to breathe...and count to 10...breathe and count to 10...breathe...

Other than that, I am planning to get my family room back into shape, clean out my office (doing that now), and go apple picking so that I can bake an apple cake.

Had Seared Asian Tuna using the recipe in Annie's book (very complex and laborious) with '05 Gato Negro Chard (CL)last PM.
Another fiesta-filled w/e with the SanMiguelada (Pamplona-like running with the bulls) and later PM Corrida de Toros in the ring.

Checking in from Montana.

Last night's poison was a Smoking Loon Cabernet and it wasn't very good. But my Husband and I drank the whole bottle, anyway.

I hope tonight's poison tastes better.

Goal for fall: Hmm...I don't know. I'd like to lose three pounds, but I'm a little unwilling to do more than I already am.

I think maybe I'm goal-less. Is that a sign of contentment or complacency?

Well, I'm putting in a couple of hours at work and this is a nice distraction between projects.
