DIDN'T KNOW GOING TO WORK IS SO FRUSTERATING!
See that huge hole....that is our new parking lot not to be finished for at least 6 more months, so they say and the cause of my frustration.
Let me go back about a year...August 2006. We moved into our new 3 storey building to accommodate for our rapid growth but they didn't allow for enough parking places. What a mess! To solve the problem they drew names for what parking spaces they had and then the rest of the employees took a bus from our old location to the new. They were short 200 parking places. These buses ran back and forth every 15 minute pickups and dropoffs.
Now we have more employees and 2 locations for bus pickups and dropoffs. It isn't like we live in a huge city where you need a bus system or trains to go everywhere. We have always just drove where ever you need to go. We don't even have traffic jams you so often see in the big cities. It is just perfect for morning and night work days. I have lived in San Francisco Bay Area and really know what the traffic can be like when you want to go to work.
I even made the aweful mistake of catching the wrong bus going to my car after work. I had such a bad Monday I totally got on the first bus not thinking where it was going. To my dismay after it started I realized my car wasn't where it was going. Did I feel like a real fool!!
Today I was having a bad hair day and couldn't get it together. I figure I have to leave the house 20 minutes before the bus comes, so to get to work 15 minutes later. And if your schedule at home is off any way, bad hair day or just anything you can miss the bus and totally mess up your work time for the day....and when can you make it up? I can't even amazen if I had to worry about taking kids to school or daycare. I can't even function somedays on my own timetable. It is a frusteration, can't amazen what the winter will be like?
Oh, well we will call this an adventure......the hole keeps getting bigger, not sure when they get done digging and tons have dirt have been taken away. It is to be 5 storeys tall with 800 parkings spots. Each day gets us closer but continues to frusterate me in my timetable.

The new 40's?
My daughter talked me into starting a blog. Not sure about this but here is goes. She is really good at it. Check hers out called: UP INTO THE NIGHT. She has a great way with words. My daughter in law also has a great blog called The Nut House. Here goes nothing:
On July 9th I turned 59....I feel I'm in my 40's still but who is counting? They say the 60's are the new 40's. I like that thought very much. Everyone would like to extend their health and wealth of youth.
I am very active. I go to swimming aerobics 3 to 4 times a week. I walk on my breaks at work for 15 minutes 2 times a day, most days, and go to Curves 3 times a week. My real desire in life is to lose 20 pounds I seem to have gained in the last year or so. I am finding going into my 60's makes this a real challenge, the battle of the bulge.
Women my age have menopause issues and it sucks!! This has dragged on forever for me, like 15 years fighting the changes. The worse problem is the middle spare tire...oh, how I dream to have a waist again. I exercise endlessly on this middle problem.
To top off the problem cloths fit weird. Doesn't matter what department you go to the cloths in an x-large are always too small. Not sure who is in charge of the sizes. It doesn't even matter if it is juniors, misses or women’s nothing fits. The other problem, fabrics are so thin you have to have 3 layers, not to show those ugly body lines….. no one would want to see mine. I don't want to dress frumpy or baggy but in style with class. I want to be normal and not stand out. Is it too much to ask? I want my grandkids and kids to say "Wow grandma is COOL and looking good!!"
Oh well, I shouldn't really complain too much. I have great health and I guess that is all that really matters. The inches seem to go slowly but not the weight. The kids say I can dress 70's or 80's and pull it off well. I am really blessed to be an approaching the new age of 60's Rockin' Grandma with a TOUCH OF CLASS. I will continue to exercise and eat the best I can to live and enjoy those kids and grandkids.
Isn't that what life is really about......Rhonda
