Step ON!

Holy Smoke, Batman!  Today was an extremely busy day!  I think with our tough economic times, shoppers are trying to be smarter with their money, trying to get the best deals they can.  In my store, that means opening packages, testing things out, touching, feeling .... what that also means is when that happens, those opened products come back to claims (me) to be processed as a return to vendor.   I was a very busy lady today, and was on the go non-stop.  Never made it to the gym, not sure I needed to -- I got in over 12,000 steps without it!  zoiks!  

So I'm sitting here thinking about Christmas and what gifts I need to buy.  It's not much of a holiday if one doesn't do any shopping -- but the thought of shopping fills me with dread!  But this weekend will be my spree, I think.  Gotta just bite the bullet and get it done.

Looking forward to some family time:  my sister gifted me a plane ticket home, so I'll be spending 2.5 days with family in a couple of weeks.  And looking forward to a weekend with my daughter and granddaughter the week between Christmas and New Years -----  I'm thinking Chipotle! already. hahahahaha




My SparkTracker award for this week:  

72,024 steps.   1,017 minutes of walking.  for 27.39 miles.  

Is it any wonder I'm tired when I get home every day??????

Hello, December

Welcome, December!   I'm not sure, but I think my heater quit this morning... or the thermostat thingy isn't working.  My Thanksgiving Day weekend has been ..... too short.  Of course, being retail, I worked Black Friday.  I cooked a turkey and all the trimmings on Saturday, and my son and I enjoyed a terrific dinner!  For dessert, he had made an apple-biscuit dessert that's really yummy :)   And now, here it is Sunday, and its all those usual chores to get done so that we can make it through the week. 

My goal for this week is to concentrate on drinking more water -- it doesn't seem as refreshing when its not over 100 outside! -- and to stay off sugars.   Controlling the intake was difficult in November for me.  Lots of things going on the last half of this year, and I think it's all catching up with me.  Once the colder temps the Valley, it seems like I'm ready for bed earlier every day!  When the sun drops over the horizon at 5:30, I'm ready for a shower and bed!! hahaha

Wishing everyone the best for this month.... :)
Looking forward to seeing family!!
