More son than any I've been associated with, including mine.<br /><br />I'm a slow learner. And I forget very easily so I have to be constantly retrained how boring accounting seminars are.<br /><br />I always feel quilty too and it usually keeps me from stealing gifts but I need some books to read so I went for it.<br /><br />I am also picking up the Happiness Project today assuming I can get out of my drive way.<br /><br />BillWilliam J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17369149140083493527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906407940530405089.post-2819519698204517792012-01-16T05:42:24.931-08:002012-01-16T05:42:24.931-08:00Hi DR

I was just shocked by the bonus because they had already given me a hundred bucks on 4-15.<br /><br />Wow was your week both busy and productive. I bet the dinner with friends was great! I really don't like cleaning but I like the way things look after I am done.<br /><br />I am so happy to hear the happiness project is working for you!<br /><br />It sure sounds like Scamp passed the test. And I am glad she has a good self-image and is better than those other annoying dogs there.<br /><br />The next week looks pretty busy to me. When I am at Mom's I always plan meals ahead. It really is both a time saver and a mind saver.<br /><br />BillWilliam J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17369149140083493527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906407940530405089.post-46257802210246487622012-01-15T14:47:08.737-08:002012-01-15T14:47:08.737-08:00Very nice of them to give you a little financial a...Very nice of them to give you a little financial appreciation. I know it means more than just the money. And your getting an office with a door and everything means a lot more than $50, I'm sure. {g}<br /><br />So you just learned that accounting seminars are boring? I suspect that's a lesson you learned a while back and tried to forget.<br /><br />I love the gift game, but I always feel guilty when I covet someone else's prize. It doesn't stop me from stealing it, but I do feel bad about it.<br /><br />DR, I'm picking up the "Happiness Project" from the library today (if they are open today--they may be observing MLK Day early). Not sure when I'll actually read it, but stay tuned and see if I sound happier. {g}Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888509132720963681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906407940530405089.post-88092720583179419272012-01-15T13:50:21.484-08:002012-01-15T13:50:21.484-08:00Glad the weather worked for the party.

Congrats on the gift cards, kudos to Nancie for helping Amy and I'm not a bit surprised by the "bonus" you received from the company. Glad you're staying in today. Snow over ice can be deadly.<br /><br />A productive week around here, despite app'ts with chiro, massage therapist and optho. Editorial time, pool, line dance, dinner at the Hibachi Grill with friends. Yesterday was some serious cleaning and putting the house back together. New rule: No more than three items on any given surface; store, pitch or give away anything left over. (This does not apply to the office, 'tho maybe it should and will in future.) Pruned some plants, pitched one that should have gone out several months ago. Cleared clutter on my desk and spent part of today reading accumulated magazines and moving them to the recycle shelf.<br /><br />Applying the Happiness resolutions of do at least one nagging task a day and do-it-now has been beneficial to my mental health, as well as getting things done. Like the author, I'm not sure I'm "happier," (it's only been two weeks) but I do feel more content and maybe that's part of "happy" for me. I also seem to have more positive energy, as I remove nagging issues.<br /><br />Took Scamp to the little park down in TR for her first "strange environment/see strangers" outing this afternoon, bundling both of us up against the chill, and she earned lots of gold stars. She did pretty well on the "heel" command, when I didn't want her running the length of the leash, and real well on "sit and stay," so long as I didn't demand more than ten seconds (ya gotta start somewhere). More important, she pretty much ignored people (except when the little boys were running and screaming, but she quelled the small barks on command) and she totally ignored the other dogs in the park, as if they were beneath her notice (g). While I do want to socialize her with other dogs, the fact that she's neither afraid of them nor aggressive toward them is the major issue. I think she's tuckered - she's been lap napping since we got home. (Okay, that's my brag for the week.)<br /><br />Next week looks quiet, with the standard editorial hours, pool, line dance, groceries and domestic duties. One of the other things I'm doing, my own resolution for the HP, is starting to plan meals ahead, which has reduced my frustration and resentment about cooking (not my favorite sport) and trying to decide how to answer the "what's for dinner" question at 5:00 pm, without a clue to the answer. I get stuff out of the freezer in the morning or the night before, use what we've stockpiled in the freezer or, if it's "leftovers" and I know Himself won't like it, decide whether I'll eat it for lunch or bite the bullet and pitch it.
