Swooshie's Journal. Countdown to 60. The Old Lady Lifts

[swooshie]

Lee knows good stuff when he sees it


sorry about the job woes. work places always feel the need to toss a wrench in stuff whenever things are getting peaceful

werent you working for a friend or something?



not sure which one i like better. strawberry bread, peanut M&Ms or bathing suits.

guess ill let you decide

Awe, thanks, RB!

No I don't work for a friend, I work in private practice OB/GYN.

My vote's for the peanut butter M&Ms

I agree with RyouBakua - Lee knows where it is at

Your den looks so sweet and relaxing. I think it's SO important to have your own space somewhere.

Your life sounds CRAZY - hope you get a chance to slow down and relax Swooshie! I have to say the strawberry bread sounds amazing, and I totally don't blame you for the 20,000 bags of peanut butter m&ms

You all are so nice!!!

I wanted my den to feel happy and relaxing! I put little pops of lime green in there and I just love it! It's the perfect reading (napping) spot in the afternoon because the sun is shining in there and it's nice and quiet, plus my big window box is on the outside of that bay window and I can look out and see all of the flowers and trees ..... heaven!

Hiya Swoosh! Sorry to hear about the job woes, but glad to hear somebody is drawing the hard line and sticking up for what they feel is right. Hope it goes quickly and you can get past this nasty part.

Thanks, M. I just feel like when there's some injustice going on that directly affects me I need to at least be heard. Nothing may change in my favor, but I least I don't sit back passively and do nothing. It doesn't scare me to make waves if I know I'm right about something.

My sister and I are going to be up your way (Seattle) in August. Just thought you should know.

YOU ARE!!!!! I'm just 2 1/2 to 3 hours south of Seattle depending on the traffic. What are you two doing up there? Seattle is so much fun!

[swooshie]

Swooshie! The room looks beautiful!!
I am so sorry about work. I hope it all works out and soon! Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks, jj!!!

Work Schmurk Thank goodness for weekends!

Wow, quite the update!!! LOL @ the duckie... so cute....

Sorry to hear about the work issues...that's crazy! Glad you're doing something about it though, at least what you can.

The den remodel looks awesome! Great job on that

Good luck with the 4th of July celebrations - I'm sure it will be fine, although it's always a bit scary getting a whole bunch of random friends that don't know each other together...but sometimes people hit it off even more than you think!

Hope you have a great weekend : D

Hiya VB! Is that a new avi for you? Looking good there

If people don't have fun at my house, there's something wrong with them Plus, a few drinks in and everyone becomes a friend!

awesome job on the remodel sista swoosh : D
ditto on the sorry bout work .. folks agitating the hell outta at the office just ruins the best part of life ie the off work hours when ya can all that other stuff you'd rather be doing instead of working ... anyways hugs and i hope you have an awesome 4th of july weekend with visitors and all : )

Thanks!!! I appreciate that coming from the remodeling queen! I've yet to tackle my kitchen .... scary! My entryway is next then a new countertop for my powder room, then the laundry room, then the kitchen....should be done my noon today

Hope you're having a great weekend too!

Welcome back Swoosh!! Sometimes the world gets a little crazy, it'll get better!!

Hope you have the best of holidays!! Try to stay out of trouble and be safe!! ; )

Hey lonnie! Yep, nuts-o-rama over here!

Hope your holiday is fun and safe also! Always a pleasure having you stop by!

[swooshie]

Meet my new grandbaby!!!!





My other grandbaby is adjusting well, it seems




I'm all set for my BBQ! Marinating a few flank steaks for the grill to go along with some corn on the cob, watermelon, grilled veggies, assorted appetizers and grown-up drinks and I'm making a fresh berry cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The Oregon/Washington berries are amazing this year!

Will finish cleaning the house then take my freshly painted toes (love the color!)



and take a little nappie right here until it's party time!

I'm getting good at counting to 8


Lady comes up to me at the gym yesterday and said (mid lift I might add) "We look like we're about the same age" which, FYI, is never a good opening line, unless you're like 25 or something, "You look to be in good shape (okay, you may continue) and I'm new and I don't know how to get rid of this underarm jiggle" She is slightly overweight and not a muscle in sight "What exercises do I do for this area?" Tricep work "Oh! Can you show me?" Um, no ... "I saw you doing some stuff with your arms when I was on the treadmill...is that what you mean?" Well, I'm working on biceps right now (point to bicep) "Oh, I don't need that" .................... :/

[lonniej]

Have a great BBQ!!

[thehobbes]

"Oh, I don't need that."

HAHAHA, that's too funny. I would have said "Oh, ok, well then you don't need me. Move along." lol, no I wouldn't say that, but I would bert stare and think that.

Cute kitty.

Tan I can believe, fat I don't!! Have a great time!!

[wishiwasdivin]

In for pics of some tanning

[swooshie]

Being on island time rocks. I honestly have to make some sort of effort to figure out what day it is. I love it here! It's got this great Cuban/Caribbean/New Orleans feel. I've looked into real estate cause I may pack it up and just stay ... too bad houses will put you back around half a million but I did find a 225 square foot studio (yes 225 sq ft) for 2500 a month...lol . Homeowner's insurance is crazy expensive due to the fact that your house has a good chance of a hurricane knocking at your door.

Have you guys ever tried Power Crunch protein bars? Man they are amazing! The fat content is a little high but I'll definitely get a good workout in flipping from my back to my tummy at the pool ......so happy here!

[jjeane]

Enjoy that vacation time Swooshie!!
