Good Morning Ladies

Finally the humidity broke and we are expecting to have a really nice weekend. I'm glad b/c I have a BBQ to go to and I hate it when your just standing there sweating.

DH and I were talking about pools and I think we will have one next year. It will be an above ground b/c there are to many insects / animals that can get into it. My neighbors have a built in and I won't go swimming there b/c of that. SSSHIVERS EEEEEW.

Soooo what happening w/you all today?

Good afternoon all :wave
Wow April, that little baby is obviously quite happy inside mommy! I wonder if this stuborness will be a sign of things to come Enjoy your stew tonight. I love using the crockpot. I'm not organized enough to use it as often as I'd like tho.
KO congrats on the weight loss.
Good for you Cathy on getting your exercise in, have fun at the shower.
Hi Leenie glad its cooling down for you.
Not much going on here. I'm not to sure what the girls and I will get up to today. Unfortunatly our nice sunshine is hiding and I see drips off of the roof, so I guess my laundry got another fresh water rinse. At least it will smell nice and fresh when I get it in!
Anyway I better go and putter, have a great weekend everyone.

Very happy for you and your DH: first time grandparents! A new little being to spoil rotten! Also glad to hear baby and mother are doing well. And Buddly is right, Claire Anne is a beautiful name. I hope they use the whole name and not just Claire - Claire-Anne has such a serene, elegant sound to it. And she'll already have the perfectly memorable name she'll need when she becomes a supermodel/superstar/world-renowned surgeon/playwright/prime minister.

Hi all.

Congratulations on the grandbaby! Fun times ahead! I became an aunt last December and very happy about it.

We are thinking of getting a small pool in the backyard.. (this is the South.. pools are needed sometimes!) We used to have a big one, but couldn't take care of it.

I tried out Tae Bo, but I'm not quick enough yet.. I'll need to practice . Did WATPs twice again tonight and feeling good .

Also, need new clothes for my senior pictures. Kinda wish I did the diet thing before.. would look better for the pictures..

[Ashlie]

Good Afternoon Ladies,
April................congrats! !
My firstborn daughter was a c-section 4lb 3 oz little tiny thing.....she came home when I did a couple days later. All c-section babies stay in the incubator at first..I think..then again that was in the 70's !Ha!My tiny baby is now 31 with 4 children of her own. Being a Grandparent is the absolute BEST thing in Life so far!

Well gals..I am leading one meeting tomorrow and 2 Tuesday...wish me luck!
I am nervous.I have been off almost 8 weeks now! I am excited about it too! Good thing I dont have to be there til 4 PM.I can "rest-up"!

Hope everyone has a great week!

[april99]

Hi again all...Thank you everyone.....DS1 called this morning....he said the baby has had some erratic breathing....up & down.....but the breathing has improved today.

DS1 sent pictures in an email....she is in an incubater....has 40% oxygen....she is doing better today.

Not much else new here....went to Costco to get a prescription. DS3 is coming over for supper today.
It's a nice day here today.....I think I might go read my book now.

Hi all, April cangrats on becoming every mother's wish - a grandmother!!! I'm very excited for that time when it someday arrives. You have had quite a year so far. Congrats again.

CIN, I'm so excited for you - enjoy leading the meeting. You're way on your way to having you life back. Congratulations.

Ashlie, good luck with trying again with DH. My prayers are with you.

Pixie, smile for the camera and that is all that matters. And enjoy getting a pool. I love mine.

Cathy, how did the hair color come out? I love to color my hair, but during pool season I dare not buy a box or I'll have green hair.

Buddly, sorry about the fresh rinse on the laundry. I gave up drying stuff outside because of rain or because of dust storms. Either way I had dirty laundry.

I had a great week. The withdrawal from the meds is going good. Just a little fuzzy headed, but that's to be expected. Mainly I feel like a big cloud is being lifted away from me and that this is the right choice. At first going off my meds was for losing weight, but I'm now interested in life again - not just so-so, but whole heartedly. I think the effexor had long since stopped being effective. So for now, I am one very happy camper. For the first time in five years, I am interested in writing again (I used to write and the meds killed my creativity). I told DH that I wanted to work on one of my manuscripts and he nearly fell out of his chair. He was also very happy since writing was such a big part of my existence.

We went hiking this morning and my precious Blizzie dog hurt her front left elbow and is limping. She's doing better, but I'm starting to think that hiking on the mountain with the dogs isn't a great idea. My dogs keep getting hurt (except Kody the spry, young bulldozer). DH reluctantly agreed with me.

Then after hiking we swam laps in the pool. Two exercises in one day. I also did my weights and situps. Wow. I think I'm getting the hang of exercising. BTW, did good eating too. Just a good day all around.

Again, April, congrats!!!!
