Happy for Friday

I did end up going to the doctor on Tuesday, fortunately I didn't have an ear infection, just some fluid buildup probably from sinuses...so he gave me some samples of pills/nasal spray which have helped a lot.
I am listening to a CD right now called "Being a Woman of Influence" by Mary Beth Whalen that is really good! I am not going to be able to finish listening this morning, but will tonight. I have Mary Beth's and her husband Curt's book on living finanically free that just came out this year and learned a lot. I love reading her blog too!
It's Friday morning and I need to get out the door early to fill up with gas and also to walk at the mall before work.
Last night three co-workers and a friend and I went to our first bellydancing class! We have all signed up for one hour sessions on Thursday nights at 5:30 pm for the next five weeks at a local community center...it was really fun! We learned the basic Eygpytian steps, there were so many people there though that they divided the class into two. We had some good laughs but it was a lot of fun, good for toning and strengthening the core.
Tomorrow is my mother in law Esther's 88th birthday. Tim and I are going over to visit (she and my father in law who is 89 live about an hour away) and bring a birthday cake, flowers etc. Wow, 88 years old. They live on their own and still drive and are in relatively good health. I haven't seen them since July, so it is good we are going over tomorrow. I think Michael and Melissa are going too.
I got an email from a classmate from high school, she is setting up a lunch in October for several of us to meet like we did in July...there's more on the list via contacts with people through Facebook, etc. so although last time we had five people, this time there may be many more coming. It will be great to see everyone, we had such a nice time in July when five us met.
My prayer today is for me to get a lot done at work today, I have a lot on my desk!

A busy day

Work was super busy today, usual Monday. I called the doctor's office to see if could get in to get my earache checked out, he wasn't available today and I didn't want to see the nurse practitioner so made an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. I have a reason for not being that interested in seeing the nurse practitioner, but it would be too long of a story to tell....and since my ear thing is more annoying than painful right now, tomorrow should be fine! I have a super nice doctor who is very nice looking too!
I was sorry to hear about Patrick Swayze's passing...I loved Ghost.
Tim and the dogs came back late last night from hunting. The dogs are dead tired, they've pretty much slept most of the evening.
We have a new Petco that moved in right next to where I work, which is really great and convenient for getting dog food now. I went over there at lunch, today was the opening day, it's very nice.
Not much else going on tonight. Tim called from work and had some work woes to tell me. He really would like to retire. He could now, technically, at 56. But we've decided we have to pay off our house first and really push towards doing that. It would be great if we BOTH could retire in about 4 to 5 years.
Which brings me to the never ending subject of trying not to spend money on stuff I don't need.
That's a post for tomorrow or another day this week!
