Good Afternoon Ladies!
Mindee--Yes it's August!! My 9th anniversary was yesterday. Seems like once August hits, the rest of the year just flies by. You go girl with all your challenges and congrats on the weight loss.
Sue--I think I've told you before that I haven't been on a bike in years. I'd probably kill myself. We have a wonderful bike trail directly behind my house with our own community entrance to it. Congrats for hitting the 160's
Cristina--I can't swim either
I love the water though. I'd go boating anyday, with a life jacket on, of course
We lose our power often. We were looking into a generator once but $5,000 was a little too much right now. It's on my long term wish list along with a new garage door, king size bed, plastic surgery for my eyes....this list goes on and on!
PinkyJ--All of our phones, cable, internet are linked together, if one goes, they all go. It's all on fiberoptic cable. I hope your dh is feeling better. Can't he take a little Tylenol?
Jane--Wish you were helping me with the engagement party. We will probably have about 25 people. Planning on doing crab dip, shrimp cocktail, chicken bacon wraps (Paula Deen's), spinach dip, baked brie, salsa/chips, veggies/dip, fruit platter, orange brownies (Paula Deen's), choc covered strawberries and picked up an assort pastries/eclair/cream puff tray from costco. I may even throw in some meatballs. We'll also do some frozen drinks along with the usual beer, wine and mixers. Do ya think I got it covered??
Marti--I went to one of those "starving artist" shows once and was also disappointed. I'm about 3 1/2 hrs from Williamsburg and get most of my wall hangings at the pottery there. Very inexpensive. They sell all the prints and frames separate so you can mix and match to suit your decor.
Hig hugs
to all the jaded ladies that I missed!
I've been pretty busy yesterday and today handing out money!! Got the spring on the garage door replaced, got a tree stump grinded and removed from the front yard, paid a group of mexicans to wash all 32 of my windows, paid college tuition for dd and put $$$ in an envelope to pay my cleaning lady tomorrow. No wonder I gotta go back to work tomorrow!! As I told Mindee, yesterday was my 9th anniversary. We already went out to dinner on Sunday to celebrate and last night we went dancing as usual. I got the DJ to announce our anniversary and play the same song that we danced to at our reception. The DJ even remembered that we had met at dance and that dh had proposed to me at dance, so of course, he had to remind the crowd of that info!! Made my dh blush!! When our friends asked what we got each other as gifts, we both laughed and said that I got a new freezer and he got the window washed, stump removed from the front yard and the garage door fixed, all so he wouldn't have to do it himself. We did exchange nice cards and the usual excitement
Trying to take those 3 lbs off that I gained on vacation and eating veggie powerhouse sandwiches but trying to get that water in is not going well. It's also in the upper 90's here so walking has to be early a.m. or late in the evening hoping that you don't get eaten alive by the bugs.
Well, gotta put some more screens back in the windows, change the laundry from the wash to the dryer and straighten up before dh gets home. Oh no, I wanted to dye my hair today....hmm, might still have time. Have a great day ladies!!
