Sunday Bullets

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme: I finally planted my herbs!  It seems like the cold weather has gone on forever, and I didn’t want to plant them only to have them freeze so I waited.  Hubs and I mixed up a lovely concoction of soil, compost, manure, and peat and I planted them.  It makes me happy to have fresh herbs growing outside my kitchen window.  I still need to get some tomato plants, but that and some flowers are going to be the extent of my gardening this year.  I’m just too busy and I’m concentrating on other things.

Alone Again, Naturally: Hubs is gone again for the week.  I have to say I’m not a fan of out-of-town jobs.  We work together, so we are together ALL the time.  Most people would hate that, but we’ve made it work.  This? Is the opposite of that.  I know there are people who do this all the time and it works for them, but I used to be a military wife and would go through this for months on end.  I’ve done my time.

9 to 5: Speaking of work, Staycation is over and I’m going back to work tomorrow.  I’m not looking forward to mucking out my in-box, but I have to say that deleting my work email account from my phone during vacation was the best plan ever.  I actually took time  off without looking at or thinking about work stuff.  I highly recommend doing that if you’re going on vacation and your personal phone is also used for work.

10: The first three months of the fitness plan are over and I crossed over the 10% mark this weekend.  If you’ve ever done Weight Watcher’s you’ll know what I’m talking about.  They give you a key chain for losing the first 10% of your starting weight, and old habits die hard.  It’s a milestone I’ve been looking forward to for the past few weeks when the scale seemed to have a mind of it’s own, so it was nice to reach it at the 12 week mark.  It seems to tie everything up neatly with a bow.   Now I just have to do it 3 more times, but I’m not looking at the big picture right now.  Smaller goals like this keep me going.

Help:  Avitable posted a story about Mindy this weekend and she needs our help.  Please go read her story.  Anything you can do will help.  I know you may see this on many blogs across the internet, but that’s one of the best things about blogging – the ability to get the word out when necessary.

Have a great week everyone!
