What did you accomplish today?

[bright_arrow]

Slept in cuddled up to my hunny
Ate brunch before work (salt potatoes diced with some ham, crumbled corn bread and topped with cheese and sourcream)
Went to work
Faxed our service agreements to Verizon from work to get our $50 rebates for our phones
Spoke with assistant manager to get my time off request approved
Helped a co-worker apply for more jobs in the surrounding Lowe's to where she's moving to
Came home
Noted our solar lights aren't working
Snacked a little before settling on oatmeal made with brown sugar
Added diced strawberries remaining in fridge
Reset Internet connection because it's storming outside and there's a lot of rain
Watching tv and texting my hunny things we need to do on our days off this week

Saving the luv-bugs

but It was obvious they were to busy to even care

[Canela]

Negotiating the price on an event hall for a fundraiser. Since it's for a non-profit, I got it for free! Woohoo!

[Duchess]

I actually took the day off. Met my girlfriends for brunch and they let me have it for not making enough time for them and working too damn much!!

My accomplishment for the day is realizing how important it is to nurture friendships. It's really hard sometimes to find genuine friends and they deserve time, effort, loyalty and honesty. I am truly blessed.

Ate before work(a serious accomplishment!): special k and a blueberry muffin
Worked, worked and worked some more
Helped co-worker apply for more jobs
Reminded asst mgr about my time off request and he a-okay'd it
Looked into work-provided life insurance (it's pretty cheap but I'm not entirely comprehending it)

Grocery shopped on lunch once the hell storm took a break (sheets of rain and hail that tore our flowers all to hell ).. fell off the healthy weight loss track and was reading Jo's thread about about healthy weight loss and it guilt-tripped me into getting back on it! So my shopping included: whole wheat pita pockets, Kashi Pumpkin Spice Flax granola bars, pineapple bites, red seedless grapes, baby carrots, lettuce, asparagus, artichokes, boneless chicken breast for tomorrow's dinner, a bag of Harvest Cheddar sun ships, and a diet pepsi to curb my soda craving and some chicken caesar pasta salad for my lunch.

Came home and put groceries away..was in a mindless food craze so made a bowl of cereal because I didn't trust myself to not binge, and snacked on a snack pouch of the pineapple bites (80 cal packs) and a granola bar. Only finished the bowl of cereal, one granola bar and a few of the bites.

Now going to marinate chicken breast in italian dressing overnight.. Paired with jasmine rice and steamed asparagus tomorrow night. Will be making a lemon-glazed poppy seed 'cake' for dessert.

Goals to accomplish tomorrow: ReCycle, get year-round tires put back on my truck (after bribing Bard with DD coffee and a donut), turning in a whole lotta change we got perhaps.. make final payment on my dress.. dishes.. then home to cuddle and watch the storm come in again that we're hearing about.



(Thank you Jo for creating this thread. On the days I think I've been lazier than sin, typing it all out makes it sound like a lot more )

I have been pretty quiet all day today, but...


I finished my study - so I can turn it in tomorrow,
made a few phone calls today,
made some supper (a vegetable stir fry w/noodles)
made tentative plans for the weekend,
and plan to read for pleasure tonight before bedtime.

Belle,

How do you kill weeds with vinegar? Do you mix it up with water & pour it directly on the weed itself? I have a couple of weeds in the front lawn that I want to kill, but have no idea of how too. I have used the usual weed killer from Home Depot that you hook up to a water hose.

Thanks,
Andrew

While I was browsing care2.com I came across this article and found out about using vinegar to kill weeds, for those that asked:

Kill weeds and crabgrass growing in sidewalks and driveways by pouring vinegar onto them. A half-and-half solution of vinegar and water can even kill garden slugs if it’s sprayed directly onto them.
