**I originally started this on Saturday…well it is currently Monday evening….lol
I hope everyone is having a good weekend and is doing good in football (unless it is against my teams…lol)
So far, Purdue, Iowa, Penn St and Oregon won. =)
The 3 undefeated teams in the NFL, Colts, Saints & Broncos all have former Purdue QBs, 2 of them are leading the teams. Â BOILER UP! Â Always a good thing. Â =)
We got ourselves out of the office Sat. evening. Just got tired of being in there and since I got my work caught up, I really didn’t need to be in there. I actually got caught up on some of my magazine reading, still have some more but hopefully be able to catch up this week while on the treadmill.
Lets see….where to begin….
We went out to Minnesota to visit hubby’s folks during the first full week of Oct. We had a nice visit playing catch up. The weather turned chilly and wet but still warmer then it was projecting. Luckily we left the day before they got snow….lol We weren’t ready for that.
We had a normal flight out, an okay flight back. But one of our luggage missed the connecting flight in MN. Now I wasn’t happy about it, but wasn’t too worried. This happened to my family years ago when we flew up to Alaska and they delivered the luggage to our door when it was found.
But when they called us stating that they found it, we found out that the girl who took our info screwed up and left the previous person’s name/info in ours and she did that to another girl. Which made no sense to me because she took our tag number and that should’ve pulled up OUR info.  So now they had to tracked down 3 different pieces of luggage and figured out which went to who. Because we didn’t know until we got it, but they removed our old claim tag and put a new on there with the other person’s info?!?! That was stupid! Couldn’t they see that the names didn’t match?
So after different calls through the day from airline as they try to figure out what the previous person did, they finally found our luggage and got it out to us. Which was a good thing, it had our flash for our camera in and a lot of clothes that adds up fast if it needed to be replaced.
When we got home, I pretty much spent most of my time just playing catch up. We didn’t have the best connection or enough time for me to get that much work done while visiting. I did enough that I wasn’t drowning or totally neglecting my duties. After I finally caught up, which took less time then I thought, I had to get into my payroll prep.
It finally got somewhat reduced on the amount of accounts I need to take care of. And didn’t have to do no where near the amount of fraud checks we had to in the last few rounds. So that was a big plus. Still had a lot to do, but much less intense. Actually got through it all without losing my mind……..lol
Got enough done that we drove down to Silver Falls Creek State Park on Wed the 21st. It took us 2hrs to get there and it was rainy but still not a bad fall day. We only did about 5-6miles of the Ten Falls Hike (skipped the 2-3mi loop with 3 of the fall) since we started later then we originally planned.  It the hike only took us about 2.5 hours since there wasn’t a lot of elevation change.  Amazing how much better our time is with out it. =)
Thursday we were just mentally wiped out, the flannel shirts on the bed felt so good and it was chilly out….so we stayed in bed and skipped the gym. Â Didn’t feel that guilty about it since we did good on our hike the day before. Â But Friday was another day that we stayed in bed…not good. Â That past week I had been doing ok on the treadmill, but my abs was just tedious and I was annoyed by it. Â So that just didn’t help me mentally. =(
Today I did pretty good and I’m happy about that. Â I did good on my abs, just need to do more weights.
I was just blah those days. I forced myself to get my work done. Â I didn’t actually start getting any motivation until Sat evening/Sunday. Today I got some work done ok and without an issue. Â What I really need to start on is payroll prep. Â If I get a good head start on it that would my life so much easier in this round. Â Especially since I won’t be working that much on the 31st evening so I can give out candy. Â =)
I was going to post this with pictures, but it is taking me longer then I thought to edit them. Â So I’ll post them later.
