Good Morning Girls! Freda...I only ate two of the Donut muffins and they were baked in a mini pan so equal to 1/4 regular muffin. The batch makes 24, I gave one to DH and took the rest of them over to the school where DD teaches. She shared them with her class (pre-schoolers). One little boy cried because he wanted another one, they were excellent. DD asked me to bake about 100 of them to bring to GS graduation party. Yeah Karen...the pool open yet? Start planning some low calorie snack for us, O.K.? Rosey...good job on the one bite of cake. I didn't do so well, DH purchased a D.Queen Turtle cake for me........geez! One piece left and it's gone, THEN I HAVE TO DIET AGAIN!

and it was also a surprize party for me..and i was good only had 1 bite of cake..today my dh asked me what iwanted and i said some help cleaning so he said ok..
Isabella...I wish the robin you hit was the robin that took up residence just above my Oriole feeder. Darn thing chases off all my Orioles. Steer your car my way, please?

I hit a robin last weekend and the impact was startlingly more than I expected. The robin was enough for me.
Lynn...you having fun yet? I'd love to look back on DH's history, his grandparents came from Czechoslovakia and seem much more interesting than my family. I'm a full blooded Dane and DD says it's not true.....according to the spit test (DGS) took, we have Spanish in us which is why I have dark eyes and complexion. I don't believe it, geezzzzz, think about this. The Garden of Eden was suppose to be between the Tigris and Euphrates river in Iraq. If we all went back far enough to Adam and Eve, what would that make us? Jess...I think the ticker factory has the best tickers, but a pain up update. I wish we'd get some new ones on 3FC's. Taxigirl...nice start losing 52 pounds. Do you watch the biggest losers? Last night was the final show, was wishing 'Sunshine' would win. Zoe...I wish I had all the money back I spent on 'stuff' too. It feels good to get rid of some of the stuff we thought we couldn't live without.

I got rid of an amazing amount of clutter and simplified like crazy. I gave some stuff to my daughters (not much - they are very contemporary in their decorations and seem to subscribe to the "less is more" theory), packed some stuff into the attic, and gave some stuff to The Salvation Army. Like you, I'm just tired of the upkeep, and of course if I don't dust and polish, it just doesn't happen, so I'm better off without it all.
O.K. Shut up Bobbie and get to work. Catch ya all tomorrow girls!
Good Morning! Well, I thought that I would share this picture with you.. I hate that the water makes you look fatter than you really are---- or maybe not! But anyway, I was in the pool for the first time the other day.. The water temperature was like 78 degrees and it was still a little chilly. I stayed in just about 30 minutes but I had fun. Just wanted to share with everyone. I've been babysitting my brother's dog this past week and she just peed on the floor--- got to go and clean that up.. be back later.
Good Morning, All...
Karen, you look relaxed! And is this the same dog who terrorized Sissy and Ginger? They'll be glad when she goes home... have they tried to push her into the pool yet?
PT/Zoe... what plans with your Gbabies this weekend? All of you good grannies... I'm proud of you! And if those kids ever complain about their awful childhoods, send them to me, and I'll clear THAT up for them! They all sound pretty lucky to me!
Rosey, how goes it? Your DH sounds like a really good guy, like he's really trying... are you two still doing the exercise program? How are you feeling these days? And will he be around to help with all your company this summer or will he disappear from the turmoil to the fishing hole?
Lynn, have fun! Bobbi, Isabella, all... hi! Everyone, be safe and enjoy the day!
Hi everyone I"m a "newbie" here & would like to join in with all of you ladies. You all sound like you have a great time here.I hope you don't mind my stopping in & telling everyone hi.

Everyone hve a wonderful day.
BOBBIE: both sets of my grandparents were from Czechoslovakia(sp). I never knew them as they was gone before I was born.
Hi Barb, so glad you found us. All the ladies here are great. You will get lots of good information and tons of support. A lot of us check in every day. Hope to see you here. We're all on different diets, but very supportive of any diet we might choose.
Tonight we went to Irish Parliament. A Senator treated us all to dinner in their Dining Room & we got to meet the folks who manage the Irish History website.
Yesterday I found my gr gr grandfather's siblings' baptism records & today I found his baptism record. Tomorrow, I start searching for my gr gra grandmother's famly.
Welcome Barb...it's always nice to have a new face plus the added support. We're like sisters here, except we don't fight! Do you make butter-melt-in-your-mouth Kolachies?

Hi everyone & thanks for the very warm welcome. I"m loving it here already. went to WW tonight & I was down 2.6 pounds.Now next week I"ll be up LOL!!! I"m like a yo-yo or elevator I"m up & down every week
I am so mad & disgusted at what happened at WW tonight. Our WW leader couldn't be any nicer .And I & everyone else think she's a great WW leader.Anyhow this one lady ( I missed it) jumped all over her.And told her she was terrible WW leader.I never had seen the lady before.but I guess she was there last week,I wasn't. She was mad cause the WW scale showed she gained.And she wasn't happy about it,so she took it out on the leader in front of a few people. I saw the lady leaving as I came in.She had our leader in tears,we all felt so bad for her. I hope she never comes back,I doubt if she will. But that was really ignorant of her to do that.She could of asked to talk to our leader in private instead of screaming at her like she did. Ok I'm done venting. I have a temper,but m a usually laid back quiet person unless something or someone really makes me mad.
FREDA,BOBBI,LYNN: Thank you all for making me feel really welcome here.
BOBBI: No I"ve never made the "butter melt in your mouth Kolachies" It's been years & years since I"ve had any.My Mom & couple of my Aunts made them all the time. I hate to admit it,I"m not much of a cook or a person to bake.Do you make them?
Welcome to the GG's hang out! It's like home away from home. Oh, wait a minute. I AM home, aren't I? Well, it's not only LIKE home, it IS home. Don't mind me - worked, commuted, visited my daughter's friend's little girl in the hospital, came home, had supper, and am now totally ready for bed.
Seriously, tho, this is just the BEST group of women you could ever hope to find. I'm glad you found your way here, and I look forward to hearing lots more from you! (About the yo-yoing - ahuh. Been there, done that, and still do it every so often.)
Lynn, it sounds like your trip is really being productive! How awesome!
Hello Ladies! And Welcome Barb! You will love it here! These ladies are all wonderful and help our more than you know!
Donna, yes this is Angel, the little terror that loves to pick on Ginger and Sissy! Today we put her in the spare bedroom with 2 baby gates, one on top of the other, and we went to look at new mattresses. She met us at the door when we got home! She didn't climb ove but chewed through the plastic on the bottom gate!! What a surprise!! So I guess tonight I will have to put her in a kennel for the night. I don't dare let her sleep on the bed with us-- we would never get any sleep!!! My brother will be back tomorrow. WHEW!!
We did buy a new bed today.. Actually we bought a queen size mattress and boxsprings set with a frame. It will be delivered tomorrow so we have to get up and get a King size water bed drained and broke down and ready for them to bring in the new one! It is going to be quite the shock I'm sure sleeping on a "REAL" bed after all these years of sleeping on the water bed!! But I'm ready to give up the water bed---
Lynn, that is so exciting to find family members like that.. I don't know if I told y'all before or not but somehow I am related to Jessie James! And I have an Uncle way back there that was Napolean Boneapart Steddum!! I have a cousin who has done so much work putting family pages together on the web so we can all enjoy. We just have to keep him updated. He has put together lots of photos from way back.. Love to go in to the site and just get lost for hours!!!
Bobbie--- I don't know about low calorie but I just bought a new ice cream freezer!! It does have some low fat'low calorie recipes with it and Donna also sent me a link to several too.... SO I'm sure we can wrok out something!! I did find a recipe for Low fat frozen Blueberry yogurt. Sounds pretty good!
Well, guess I will get back to the American Idol finale!! Been pretty interesting since this is Simons last night. Everyone have a good night!
Good Morning! I'm officially back on a diet again....like you Freda, I've let a few pounds slip back on. My fault entirely, Mom's day, b'day, blah, blah, blah! I'm going to sign off each day with my weight to remind myself that I'm back up there. I also did a no-no this morning due to pale legs, yes I sat out in the sun while doing my morning devotions. My twice a week Bone-Building class is mostly ladies who wear shorts/beach shorts and I'm still wearing my long jeans. But I put lots of sun screen on because I don't want skin cancer. At our class tonight we're starting a weigh in for those who want to drop some weight, I'm making a giant graph chart to bring in to keep track of our losses. That will be my new incentive to drop the 6.5 pounds I've gained. I will have to fight my weight the rest of my life, I'm doomed to gain. The sweets is my enemy, on that note..............you all have a great day. P.S. Today's Crabby Maxine calendar page joke: Sure, Tae-Bo looks like fun...but why waste a good kick on empty air? Monday's joke I thought of you Lynn, altho you don't whine like Maxine: "I'd think about traveling overseas if I could whine fluently in other languages." Weight: 131.5
Good Morning, All....
Barb, welcome!!! Anyone with an adorable avatar of a kitty is definitely welcome! This is a great group of golden girlies! You'll enjoy it here...
PT/Zoe, did you get some rest? You sounded plumb pooped!
No news here. The winds were better yesterday; there's been a lot of damage. Speaking of which, but not really, has anyone heard anything about the progress (we hope!) with plugging that oil leak? How awful that is!
Everything is status quo. I'm doing well, feel great, no complaints!

Hi you all do you remember me? I have been mia for almost a year and started back on the beach about 4 weeks ago. Sighhhhhhhhhh gained 40lbs in the past year.
My excuses are many, but mostly after that session with the aciada berry stuff that dried up all the fluid in my joints especially the knees. I couldn't even swim last summer. Dangling my legs hurt my knees so bad. Anyway they are better...a bite creaky but so much better. I had to give up directing bridge games...just can't walk that much. I have lost 20 of those miserable pounds and need support to keep going.
Been reading about your lives and missing you. Zoe you maybe Ellabella now but in my head you are still Zoe. Karen you look so happy back home. Bobbi you haven't changed. Lynn is still enjoying the world. Rosey I am so proud of how far you have come back....OMY girl you have inspired me!
We are still down here at the West Coast of Fl. Watching the oil spill and praying alot. It was been super hot with afternoon storms from what they call the seabreeze wall. Feels like August, but still a week from start of hurricane season. hummmmm
I lost a dear friend in Feb. She asked me to be her PR and when the estate is finished am to buy a car and call it "Nancy". So if you see a crazy white haired old fool sitting in a new car yacking to herself ITS Me!
Hi Barb...welcome!
I have 8 minutes to get and eat my ice pop....Hugs, karen3
WELCOME BACK KAREN!!!!! We missed you! Glad that you are back with us. I have had a hard time to get back on track but am making small progress now. With the move here, the death of my Dad in July, and my son and his wife having all kinds of problems I have just not beem focusing on me at all and it is time to do that again! I bought some aqua fitness weights to use in the pool and am looking forward to using them. I think if the rain stays away I should be able to spend some time in the pool tomorrow.... Ah yes, I am looking forward to it.
..today my dh asked me what iwanted and i said some help cleaning so he said ok..
