Hi gals :wave: ... today was Dentist Day.. I got the news that I have GUM EROSION.. talk about "it" always being something! :( The good news is that he can fix it, but it will cost $$$$ I have 2 appts set up for next week.
Josie.. is that true... you are reading but not posting? Sure would :love: to see you back. Looks like a lot of interesting things have been going on it your life.
Ann.. I read the article, and it sure does sound awful, things must really be tense. Any time "racisim" is mentioned, things get really ugly. Hope your hubby got all the house problems fixed... while you went for a walk with Max. :) It is better to get a plumber than to let our hubbies do the job, (I am speaking from experience :rolleyes: ) WTG on the 1 lb down.
Glenda..You sure had a good time doing all that hard work. You also made some nice memories. Sleeping on the blow up mattress :eek: sounds like a barrel of laughs too. :lol: The exercise I do helps the Fibro a lot, but dampness, air-conditioning and drafts are really hard on me. That's when the spasms and pain get bad. Beverly has to make the committment to work on her weight in her own time. You are a good friend to support her. I hope the SLEAZE never gets custody, that would be criminal.
Lily.. those rolling blackouts have to be annoying now, it must really get hot when the power is off. What kind of Stir Fry did you have, and what ideas can you pass on....Hmmmmmmm? :D
Geri..You were so lucky the tornado missed your house. I saw the destruction on the news. Scary!
Well Slavika.. all the gals have been working their fingers to the bone starting all the new threads. You must be soooo pleased :lol: Maria had to take time out from her packing to start today's thread.
Maria have a great visit with your daughter.

Tomorrow is the day I take Mom shopping and my Aunt is coming too.... I am surprised that they are taking another chance on me... I promise to be careful :s: ......

Trudy: They are ones that I bought at Trader Joes. The packages come with everything. One was Shrimp, One was Chicken and Another was a Chiense (?) type thing. I have not tried them yet. They just looked good and Everyone in my WW class says they are really yummy. So I cant pass on nothin here as it all comes from a bag! My way of cooking! Hummmmmm Feel for your Mom and Aunt tomorrow. Try to be Nice to them! And bring them home in one peice! :D And no broken bones either! ;)

Hi Everybody

I had a wonderful day with my friend today, shopping and of course lunch. I treated myself to my favortie fragrance, Elizabeth Arden's "Green Tea". I have been wearing it for a couple of years now...it's very light and nice. They had a gift thingme made up with the fragrance/lotion/soap. :)
Well we have lighting AND thunder but no rain yet.
Glenda I can sure understand Beverly being stressed, but we all know that filling our faces is not really the answer either. I guess right now she is probably doing the best she can. I don't even want to think about how I would feel if I were in her circumstances. Just continue to be her good friend, and support her as best you can.
Josie Post us a short note and let us know how you are doing and how Cole is doing too. He must be getting big. We miss you. :)
Peggy Hi there, and congrats on the 1 lb. loss.
Lily I have heard "Trader Joes's" mentioned on the boards before. Is it like Costco or more like a supermarket? Sorry about your blackouts but, reading just our board, it seems we all have something to deal with ,it doesn't matter where we live. :(
Trudy so my friend, the old "dollies" are going to take a chance on you again are they? :D
Actually everybody, Trudy is just an :angel:
Her Mother is so fortunate to have her and so is the Aunt. Mind you, her Mom is also very sweet. :love:
Maria that was very nice of you to start the new thread when you have so much to do. My poor weary fingers thank you. LOL :D
Night all.

G'day all

Back again, everything is ready to go, washing is up to date the only thing left to pack is my laptop but that will be easy!

Good to hear you are feeling better Trudy , I have not heard of Fibromyslgia, doesn't sound good though :( And now the problems with the dentist as well, boy it is fun getting more mature :D

Thank you all for your thoughts about Canada, does sound that it is a place one MUST visit. I have been looking on the net as well and I think the biggest problem would be where does one decide to go in Canada.

Sorry to hear about your friend Glenda I must be so hard when something so horrendous happens. I hope she will heed your advice but I guess until she realises herself what she is doing you can only be there to support her.

Well done with the weight loss Slavika I think I am doing well but no longer trust my scales. My clothes are getting looser, well a little bit any way so hopefully I am on the way.

Peggy thank you for sending the link of your local newspaper, it doesn't make for cheery reading. It was interesting to read all the letters to the editor. Who knows what the answer is, it is a very complex situation. We have some racial tension with our indigenous aboriginals but I hope it will never come to what your city is experiencing.

Gerry glad the tornado has passed with relatively little damage. We don't have tornados but cyclones though only in the tropical parts of Australia. On christmas day in 1974 virtually all of Darwin was destroyed by Cyclone Tracey. Thought I would throw that in, you might get the question in trivial persuit :D:D

As far as we know it looks like we will be going home, albeit for a short time, early July. Not too sure where we will be next, probably somewhere outside of Australia.

See you in Melbourne!!!!!
Cheers

Maria have a safe trip to Melbourne and a nice visit with your daughter. Wonder where you are going next? It's a good thing that you are so flexible and able to go along with whatever comes along. Glenda all you can do is be a good friend to Beverly. When she is ready to face herself she will. Just hope for her sake that she will listen to you and do it soon. I have some wallpaper that needs to come down. Interested in hiring out? Have fun sleeping on the blow up mattress. The hard part for me would be getting up off of it. I hope the Sleaze never gets another hand on that child. I would hope that no judge would ever let him near that child again. Trudy good luck with the gum problem. Going twice in one week doesn't sound like fun. Be careful today with the Aunt and Mom. They must have forgiven you if they are going with you again. Have fun! Lily Is Trader Joe's like a Wild Oats? We just got Wild Oats but I have never been in a Trader Joe's. Do you get Skinny Cows in flavors other than vanilla and chocolate? Have seen on some of the boards that they come in strawberry and chocolate peanut butter. Have to run and feed my neighbors fish. She is gone and I am always afraid that it will die when I am watching it. Have a nice day all, Peggy

Slavika: TJ's is more like a supermarket. They have unusal stuff in them. They buy stuff from all over. Food and Wine. And it is priced at alot lower than you can find in a supermarket. And the stuff you find there most the time you wont find in a supermarket. I buy Curry sauces there all the time that I have never seen in a store anywhere.
If you ever come to the states you need to go to one as they do have some great finds.

Maria: Wow thats still a long time to be away from home. Until July? Bet you miss it! Have a great visit with your daughter! Thats gonna be the best part!

Peggy: I dont know what a Wild Oats is. But see my post to Slavika about TJ's
On the skinny Cows, all I get is Vanilla and Chocolate. I have never seen the other ones. I would love to try them tho. I really want to try the Mint one. Mint is my all time favorite Ice Cream. They are higher in points tho. 3 I think. I would also like to try the Carmel one. They are selling really well here so I think the other flavors will start showing up. I think they start with just the vanilla & choc. to see how they sell first.

Trudy: I know you are good to your Mom and Aunt. You wouldnt hurt them on Purpose. You are an :angel: Im sure you baby both of them!

Another lovely Florida day:D

But we need the rain!
Geri: So glad the tornado missed you and yours. That is a worry here in Florida too.

Glenda: Sorry about your friend, but sometimes that sort of constant trial makes one
just sort of give up. Sounds like you are good for her, since everyone needs a good
friend to tell you what is real and to get on with life. Her kids need her more than
ever, especially when they are all getting put through the 'wringer' too, knowing that
their father is a sleaze.

Lily: We experienced the rolling blackouts once here, when there was such cold and
freezes and people had Christmas lights plus all the heat necessary. But that was
just a short time, notthe way you folks are having to deal with it. It never ceases to
amaze me what 'greed' can do.

Peggy: I guess it is so hard for members of the Black population to not shout
discrimination, at imagined and/or real problems. It is hard for me to understand how
they riot and actually do damage to their own people, store owners, etc. And yet I
know I would not like to be judged only on the color of my hair. I want to be judged
for who I am.I think we have raised a generation of people who don't seem to be
able to accept the consequences of their actions. I better get off my soap box!

Even washing with cold water in a new machine has got to be o.k. Just think of all
the electricity you are saving. Maybe it will find its way to California. LOL Hope you
found a plumber.

Hi Everybody I went grocery shopping this morning then picked up the Princess from school for her Baba Day. We came home and had lunch, played a little then went to Costco with Trudy and DH. When we got back I had a new video for her, so she was very happy. We also bought some ice cream treats and she enjoyed one of those, and I had one of my low fat ones. My Son did well in getting his little girl dressed for school. Her hair is long and he put it into two ponytails for her. She told me, her Dad could not find two red and gold ponytail holders for her hair, that was why she had one that was JUST red and one that was red and gold. She said, she told her Dad that was ok, at least they were both red. :D
Lily next time I am across the line I will look for a Trader Joes. Hi to everybody else and have a good day tomorrow.

Trudy
05-10-2001, 11:51 PM
I didn't have a single "incident" today, my ladies came home all intact. :lol: Wheeeeew! Slavika didn't tell you that the Princess had a gift for me. She gave me a beautiful multi-strand pink pearl bracelet, strung on very practical elastic. It looked gorgeous, I still have it on. :D
Also, my Grand-dog sent me a "Mother's Day Card"...it is so cute. My DD printed out a really nice verse and inside pasted a picture of Jessica that she scaned on the inside. It's a keeper. :)
Lily.. I had heard of Trader Joe's, but I just assumed it was a restaurant. Will have to check that out too. You like the same kind of ice cream I do, lately I have been eating frozen yogurt because of the points. Wish we could get Skinny Cows.
Maria if your clothes are looser, you must be losing weight. :)
Peggy.. fish-sitting? :lol: You had better take good care of them, my daughter had fish when she was little and we found out that you can give them too much food too ~ the hard way. She sure :cry: when they died.

Hi Ann..well time for me to think about bed...see you all tomorrow... Goodnight... :yawn:

05-11-2001, 07:39 AM
Good Morning, Glad you made it without incident, Trudy. Sounds like you all had a fun day. How sweet of the Princess to give you a pearl bracelet. I think those are sometimes more valuable than the real thing. I still have a box of jewelry "treasures" that my oldest made for me when he was in the hospital when he was young. The neighbors fish survived, thank goodness. Lily Wild Oats is a large health food organic type store. They sell things in bulk like peanut butter and honey and grains. They have produce, cheeses, salad bar, bakery, deli, wine etc. They are a little pricey. I didn't know that Skinny Cows came in mint. That is also one of my favorites. Tomorrow I am going on an all day bus trip to Dresden, Ohio. It is a trip tour to the Longaberger Basket Co. I have been there once a long time ago. Their office building is built likea basket. They have a new place called the Homestead. We get breakfast in a small berry basket which we get to keep. I like the baskets but they are too expensive. I used to teach basket weaving so I will be interested to see them at work. I think that they have a web site. www.Longaberger.com. Somewhere in there you can see the basket building. "Talk" to you Sunday, Peggy

Geri
05-11-2001, 10:27 AM
Good morning all, hope you have a great weekend.

Maria, we cannot keep up with you. Do you ever just get homesick? I don't think I would like all that traveling after a while. The first couple of weeks would be okay, but then I would want to stretch out in my own bed with the newspaper and my favorite coffee cup.

Trudy, congrats on your new "jewelry". Know you will enjoy it.

Peggy, haven't been to that site to read the inside info, but will go there tonight. Thanks for posting it.

Slavika, glad your fingers are getting such a long rest. But, without the extra exercise your ring size is liable to increase:)

Anybody heard from Margot lately?

We get Skinny Cows in mint (delicious) and peanut butter chocolate (a disappointment). Costco carries choc and vanilla. Tom Thumb has the others.

I think I gave my husband's summer shorts away. Honest---we can't find them. We took a whole bunch of stuff to Mission Arlington a while back and I think they were included by mistake. Oops! Now I have to go buy him new shorts. You can bet they will be permanent press (which a lot of the old ones weren't---you don't suppose I had a Freudian slip do you?). I guess he is worth it.

Got to get the summer clothes washed and ironed. Put 6 dozen ears of corn in the freezer Wednesday. 14 were on the cob but the rest was cut off (made 18 bags of 1& 1/2 cups a bag). I have the battle scars to prove it. Cutting the kernels off almost 5 dozen ears is a job. But I can't pass up 8ears/$1 when I was paying $.69 an ear this winter. I like corn too much to give it up for the winter. This winter I will have all I want.

Slavika: LOL I love the stories abiut the Princess. She sounds so adorable. And I bet she is.

Trudy: Glad you got them home ok with no Incidents! You just must of just had a "One of those days" last week!
Your braclet you got from the Princess sounds beautiful! And a Cute Card That DD made you to! Both will be treasures to keep forever!

Peggy: Longaberger Basket Co! How fun! I have one of there baskets and you are right they are expensive. Went to a party once and bought the cheapest I could find. But I really do love the basket. They are great. Sounds like a really fun trip to go on. Wild Oats sounds kinda like TJ's They have Organgic food to. They have a variety of everything.

Geri: No I havent heard from Margot. She has been having trouble posting and we cant figure it out. But I havent gotten an email from her either. She ususally sends one for me to post. OH OH.. Gave DH shorts away? LOL. Hes worth some new ones anyways. Hum makes me think I should do this with some of DH shirts and then go buy some that dont need Ironing. Hummmmmmmmmmmm

Well best get to work Im so behind. :(

Trudy
05-11-2001, 07:43 PM
Just a beautiful day today, nice temp., hardly any wind... perfect. The lawns are getting so green, and my tulips are in bloom. :)
Tonight we are going to the Casino, you can bet I'll let you know if we win a small fortune. :lol: Do you gals remember the "Ink Spots"? They are performing tonight. I didn't even know that they were still singing. :rolleyes:
Peggy .. you must be quite a "Crafty Person". You certainly have a lot of interests. :) Have fun on the trip. I will have to look up the site to see what else I am missing out on.
Geri.. You had better 'fess up... you got rid of the shorts because they required too much upkeep. :s: .. it was the wise thing to do. :lol:
Hi Lily, Ann, Maria & Slavika.. what have you all been up to today? ...hope I didn't miss anyone out. I wonder how Margot is doing too, no doubt she is right OP. :)

Bye, bye for now :wave:

Hi All: Just a quickie since I need to go to bed.
Geri: By all means permanent press. I wouldn't have any thing else. I HATE to iron.:mad:
Peggy: Did you ever make baskets of pine needles?
Lily: What is Skinny Cow? don't think we have it here. I am assuming it is some sort of treat. We get a stir-fry here brand name Chefs' Choice. Shrimp and beef and shrimp with linguine. All low points and quick to fix.
Maria: Are you going to write a travelogue? Today we enjoyed watching a program all about Australia. On the travel channel. Very interesting.
Talk to everyone tomorrow. :yawn: Ann

G'day all,

Arrived about 3 hours ago, I am running a bath to relax after a very exhausting 2 days.
The apartments are VERY posh. We were getting here about 5pm and daughter was going to meet us here.
She rang on her mobile 'cause she couldn't find it, told her again and stood on the balcony out of our bedroom to see if I could see her. The next thing I saw their car and it appeared that they were going to drive past so I yelled her name which she heard in the car with the windows up :o It wasn't really the sort of thing one does, yell from balconies at this very posh apartment :o:rolleyes:
Anyway it was lovely to see her and her fiancee and they will come around in the morning for Mother's day.
Don't know if it is Mothersday everywhere in the world but it is here.
I will get in to my bath and then off to bed, speak to you all later.
Cheers
Maria

Well I did it again. I wrote a nice long post and then lost it .:mad: So rather than try to think of it all over again I'll just say Happy Mothers Day to all of you. Do you all have big plans? We are having a BBQ.

Hope you all have a wonderful family day tomorrow. "See you tomorrow". Ann

Geri
05-12-2001, 03:45 PM
Happy Mother's Day to all. I hope each of you has a really pleasant day with the people you love most. I am not sure what we are going to do. I think my son is fixing lunch or brunch and my daughter is fixing supper. I think that means I don't have to cook or do dishes.

I ended up getting him 11 pairs of shorts. All but one is permanent press. And they are a real soft chambray that I think will become permanent press after all the sizing is gone. Besides they were only $12. I can't resist a bargain. Found him a nice looking pair of leather sandals on sale too. You wouldn't believe the ugly things he bought last year when I wasn't with him. I wouldn't let him wear them out of the house. They are truly double ugly.

Sorry about the missing post Karen. I have had that experience several times. There is a thief out there in cyberspace who steals really good posts.

Trudy
05-12-2001, 11:54 PM
I hope everyone spends Mother's Day with the people they love most. :love: My family is coming over, there are 8 of us. Also my DH's Sis and BIL are here for a few months and they will join us so I think the 10 of us will have a nice time. I am NOT cooking, thank heaven... :lol:

Have a great day... :love:....

Hi Everybody

DH and I went out and bought a few more flowers this afternoon and also some tomato plants. I planted the flowers but not the tomato plants yet. My grandchildren phoned and asked if they could come over......of course we said yes, so we had them here for a few hours and then we took them home, bathed them and put them to sleep. Our son went to the movies with a couple he and our dil go out with. I think they felt he needed a little break. :)
Tomorrow my son and grandchildren will come here for Mother's Day. DH and Son will BBQ the steaks and I'll take care of the corn on the cob and asparagus. :)

Happy Mother's Day to all the gals on this board........
whether you are Mothers/Daughters/Aunts or Wives, you are all very special in the lives of other people.

Trudy: Did you win me alot of money? I will be waiting for you to send it to me!

Ann: Skinny Cow is an Ice Cream Sandwich that is awesome. They are 2 points. But some of the others that are hard to find are 3 points. You can check it out here:
http://skinnycow.com

Maria: Another Posh place? Cool! Makes up for all the travling you are doing! Bet you had a great visit with your DD.

Geri: My goodness 11 pairs? I dont even own that many. But for 12$ why not? Sounds like your DH has the same taste as mine.

Slavika: I need to get my DH out there to buy the Tomato plants. He didnt last year. Needless to say I was not a happy Camper! He better plant them this year!

Karen: Was good to see you! You must be very busy!

Happy Mothers Day to all! Have a great day!

Hi Everybody
My son has gone home with his babies to get them ready for bed....school tomorrow. We had a lovely day. The children were in the pool again today, although it got a little windy later and the Princess started to turn blue. :D
Our dinner was great, and trust me A-1 sauce does come out of a carpet and blueberry stains do come out of little boys shirts if you use "SHOUT IT OUT" immediately. I also would like to mention at this time, that there was no permanent damage done to the Princess's teeth when she jammed a toothpick in her mouth to show us how her other grandfather walks around after dinner. :D
As I said, end of a perfect day. :) Night all.

Slavika aren't grand children fun. Tooth picks and little kids give me nightmares.

Lily your right I have been very busy just enjoying my time . Last year I was still working my tail off with the two jobs so it is nice to have time to do little things like rake the yard. Play Badminton with my family. My 4 year old grand son is pretty good . He keeps you running. Haven't had a chance to try the Skinny cows yet. I've heard that some of the stores in Brainerd carry them but in this weather I'd have to eat them all on the way home or they would melt.

Geri I too love a sale can't resist buying a bargain. Was shopping for my self this past week got some great deals.

Maria again I say I envy you your travels .I do hope you write a travel log to go along with the pictures for your web site you are planing.

Trudy how did your trip to the Casino go? Did you win a lot?

We had a BBQ here at my house this afternoon. Mom and Dad were here along with my three kids and their mates and small children. My younger Brother and is wife and kids were also here we had a wonderful time the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. All the food got eaten it was great.

Ann just was re-reading the posts and saw you were talking about ironing. I've never liked to iron . When I was at the age to learn those chores we lived in Panama and had a maid to do those things . Then we returned to the states my Mom got her first dryer and we discovered permanent press and the rest is history.

Better push post before something happens.

No, we didn't walk away with a barrel full of money :lol: ...in fact the casino ended up with $3.00 of ours... We were up and then we were down. We had a lot of fun though. As you can see... we are "high rollers" :rolleyes:
The Ink Spots were really good, (of course they are not the originals, they all long gone.. a couple of the older guys were playing with the originals though). They sang all the old songs, and some from the Mills Brothers, and the Platters, songs from the war years... Some songs took me back to High School ... we really liked the show. :)

Mother's Day was really nice too. :D My Mom was so happy.
Slavika... you sound so calm as you write about toothpicks :eek:, and stained carpets... you are a trooper. :D

Good night all. :yawn: see you gals tomorrow.

G'day all,

I am using the notepad, could be a long one:D
I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. It was lovely having at least one of my children visit. Received a phone call from my son. When I told him about the apartment he is quite keen to come and visit.
Geri you asked if I ever get homesick, well I do miss my family and friends but because of the internet and travel becoming cheaper it is not too bad.
Our family home which was quite large with a beautiful garden, we sold when we knew the sort of life we would be leading. Last year we bought a smaller house with a VERY small garden just near the beach. It is a lovely location and if it had not been for dh's new job we could not have afforded to have bought there. The house was brand new so all we have done is put in curtains, pergola and had a front fence build. (It never ceases to amaze me that THAT front fence cost as much as it did to build our very first house :))
We haven't spend that much time there and whilst I like living there, I am not as attached to the house as I was to the house we sold. Hope all that makes sense.
I would very much like to make my web page as a bit of a diary as to where we are and what we are doing.

Great news, this morning I went with DD to the city and we bought her wedding dress! It is just beautiful though not a very 'bridey' sort of dress. It is in a beautiful blue, cut on the bias and it is just stunning. She is thrilled to bits. Did some other shopping as well, found a jeweller to make their wedding rings and we just had a nice day out.
She loved my outfit, thought it was a lot nicer than she imagened:)
I was reluctant to buy it so tight but boy it has given me great new incentive. I intend to make our 6-7 or 8 week stay here alcohol free and I am back to faithfully journaling. I do love my glass of wine but it also makes me stray badly :rolleyes:
Where we are staying is on the outskirts of the city with a view over the botanical gardens, it is just lovely and ideal for walks.
Trudy sorry you didn't make your fortune, the few times I have been to a casino I have never come out in front. Does anyone ????????
I'll be off to make a big pot of veggie soup.
Have a great day all
Cheers
Maria

Happy Mother's Day a day late. It sounds like you all had a nice day. My boys were here and 1 grandog. Dh cooked a big breakfast. Went to my nieces later and celebrated with my sister and her kids. Sister raised me and her kids are more like my sisters. We celebrated 2 birthdays. It was a nice day. Now it is back to reality and diet time. The Longaberger trip was fun. The girl who ran it was so organized. She had prizes all the way up. Some of them were retired baskets. I won a basket tie on. They have a huge apple basket at The Homestead. It is at least as big as a garage. I didn't get to see them weaving since it was Saturday and they stop at noon. Next time I am going to go to make my own. They have someone working with you. And of course I had to buy a little basket and liner. We are going to do it again in October. Trudy you have my luck at the Casino. I am usually out of money a half an hour after I get there. Geri what a shopper you are. You got a good buy on shorts. I had to chuckle about the sandals. Have to get ready for a funeral. Have a nice day, Peggy

Slavika: Sounds like you had a wonderful Mothers Day! Im glad that A1 sauce does come out with SHOUT IT OUT! That is wonderful stuff! Gotta love those kids dont you? :)

Karen: I really wish my DH would find permanent press. But he never does. Even wgen I nag. I told him he was gonna have to start Ironing cuz I was sick of it. None of my clothes need it so why should I have to be the one to Iron????
Im glad you are finally taking some time to enjoy yourself. You deserve it!

Trudy: You spend Like I do at the Casino's! I take my 20$ and when its gone Im done. I can ususally last a long time on it to! The show sounded great. I would of like to seen that. Brings back many memories just thinking about some of the songs!

Maria: The wedding dress sounds nice. Would love to see a picture of it. I think you have the right idea on your web page. It would be very interesting to see the different places you go. My DH does good in the Casino's some times. But he spends alot more than I do or ever will.

Peggy: The Longaberger tour sounded fun! And you even won something to. I bet it would be interesting to watch them weave the baskets. I would like to see that! To bad that you missed it. Sounds like You can go there and learn to make your own? That would be really great!

Sounds like all had a great Mothers Day!
We had my sister and DH over and did a barbeque. It was fun and quiet. Was a beautiful day to sit outside and visit!

Hi Everybody

We had funny weather today, it was windy, cloudy, sunny and warm at different times of the day.
I got my tomato plants into my little garden. I had planted flowers in a window box on the garage and today I noticed that a squirrel had been digging in there. Now I don't think "Sammy" would be that bad mannered but I will have a talk with him when I see him, and see if he "knows" who did DAT. :(

I got all my IRONING done today too. I was thinking about all the talk of permanent press shorts and things on the board and for awhile now I have told DH to check the label first before buying. I like the chambray shorts and they do require ironing but not much and he does have 3 pairs of them.

I'm glad everybody had a nice day yesterday. Well WW tomorrow. We are suppose to wear/or change into something we wore before we lost weight. The only thing I kept was the dress I wore for my Son's wedding. I'll take it with me and change at WW. Later I'll have the gals back here for tea. :) I think it will be a fun day. :D

"Talk" to you all tomorrow, and Trudy I'll see you tomorrow. Night.

Just lost another great post. Too bushed to type it all again. Congrats Maria on finding the perfect dress. Hope all of you had a great day yesterday.

I went to the gym today and did 2 hours of weight training. I probably won't be able to move tomorrow. Then I went to my daughter's and the angel let me iron all day. I ironed 40 pieces. I am tired!

Need to go check my e-mail.

Slavika and Trudy---how is Dee and her family? Give her our love.
