Wednesday, October 21, 2009.....
Any readers following me on a regular basis know if it's Wednesday, it's time to Rant and Rave about the past week. Without further adieu, here are my Rants and Raves from the past week:
Rave: Tomorrow is my first Food Pantry Dinner Club. I've lost 6 lbs and will be donating 36 lbs of food to the local food pantry.
Rant: Jules and her out-of-tune Tuesdays this week. I have insomnia tonight and her version of When I'm 64 with wimpy-ass Ken in a pink car keeps going through my mind. Thanks a lot Jules.
Rave: My Brussels sprout plants are starting to sprout. I bet you're saying who cares --- well, I do.
Rant: I suck at blogging lately, but promise to do something about it.
Rave: I participated in a focus group the other night, but because I was an alternate, I had to wait 15 minutes before they decided they didn't need me and I was paid $100.
Rave: A meeting is setup with my mother's nursing home and the Ombudsman person tomorrow. There is a resolution to the issue with the resident who hits my mom that is far better than their original suggestion.
Rave: These were sent to me the other day from Cabela's -- the world's best slippers. They weren't supposed to arrive until today, but appeared on my doorstep 5 days early. My feet couldn't be happier.
Rave: Loving that the nights are getting are colder. I love to sleep with the window open. Sure, it drives hubby nuts, but I LOVE it (maybe if I didn't steal most of the blankets he'd appreciate it like I do).
Rave: Some bloggers (Midtown Girl, Tasha, Kys, Baker Girl and Jenny Mac) thought of me and my little blog. Each gave me a cool award which I will be posting about in a future post and I want to thank them. Thanks :-)
Rave: Apparently, the answers to my last meme have me appear as a very sweet and innocent blogger. Hmmmm...I like that.
That's it for me. Any Rants and Raves you want to share? I would love to read them. Just click on the linky thing. This way, I won't miss a person that wishes to post their own R&R Wednesday.

I'm so proud of you for losing 6 lbs!
I think you have a new follower. :) He's a good guy but his sense of humor isn't for everyone.
You? suck at blogging? Never! How many awards did you get last week? Yep. You don't suck. I suck for blogging about my life lately.
Hugs!!
congrats on the 6 pounds!
please tell me you're doing something besides the 30 Day Shred because I haven't lost an iota on that thing.
Also, what product were you in focus groups for? We hold them all the time in Norwalk...
Send me some sprouts! So I can saute them in butter, then splash them with lemon juice and truffle oil.
Hmm. good luck with the meeting about your mom. If it doesn't work, I am willing to take a road trip and hit the person that hit your mom for you. That is crazy and wrong wrong wrong. And psst... you are an awesome blogger!
congrats on losing 6lbs!!!!

i also sleep wit the windows open and my family come and close them while am asleep but i get so hot i wake up and open them am extremely warm blooded. i don't like heating at all!
Congrats on your weight loss. I like the cool nights but not cold nights. (If that makes any sense.)

The Peach Tart – It was and I’m trying to make them better everyday.
Deborah – I’m very glad there is a resolution for my mom’s situation and 36 lbs is good, I just have to remember that.
