Chris's Daddy is coming home! There will be great celebrations! Hug him for us, Chris, and give him a big thank you!

I am glad that your Dad is coming home Chris. :)

And congrats on all of the other wonderful things you chicks are doing!

Way to go Jesica :cp:

Glad your dad is coming home Chris - enjoy your time with him :)

Jessica-It took a lot of restraint to NOT throw the idiot off the boat. I am VERY proud of you.:D

Chris-Have a blast with your Dad!!

Lidian, the Cute Boyfriend has been taking a sailing course from the community college I go to since it's $11 a credit hour and that's WAY cheaper than anywhere else. Well, he was getting more and more into it (much to my dismay, like we need another hobby) and I realized that if he ever fell off the boat while we were sailing together, I would have absolutely no recourse except, "Ummm... help?" So, I suprised him by volunteering to sign up for the next semester. We sail in the Coronado Cays. Usually we sail in a big circle.... over and over again. :)

So, I've been putting off my AM workout forever.... like a week. I always talk myself into sleeping longer. This morning, I was in the bathroom getting ready to go to the YMCA and I actually was like, "Go back to bed go back to bed." And then I realized, "Well, crap, I'm already up. GO ALREADY!" So, I went. Yay!!! And I was glad I did because the sun was shining and the bird were singing (etc etc). When I got home.... the Cute Boyfriend was still in bed!! Lazy butt. :)

Jessica, you are a much nicer person than I am, my DH (then DB) took a sailing class and it NEVER occurred to me to join in for any reason. I was all "oh, hi, you went sailing, whatever!" (such a nice girlfriend huh?:)) He never did use the knowledge though, in the end - I did go out in a canoe with him once. Once! Now I can get the girls to go with him, they love it and the eldest will do some of the paddling. I take the photos, on dry land.

And you also have my admiration for that early morning workout! Way to go! I can barely get up and be civil in the early morning, even after caffeination!

Hey Ladies!!

Can I join?? Two of my very fav. ladies are here!!!

Sure! Welcome aboard :wave:

Thank you so much!! I loved what you wrote on the first page. It really spoke to me.

Thanks Tracy. I think I just wanted us all to remember to look after ourselves, think of ourselves in a positive way and enjoy the things we have in life :)

HI!! Welcome Tracy!!!

Good Morning Ladies.

The more I read this thread the more I feel at home.

I really do not love myself, if i did why would i eat the house.

Love is not a size, but an attitude.

Many thanks again for letting me join and helping re-evaluate what REALLY is important!!

tracy

Sure you love yourself, TallTracy! You just have not settled on where to start the lovemaking! Maybe you could post one thing you really love - like your sense of what's right.

I feel good about myself today because Hershey aced her Thera-Paws evaluation and the Chief Honcho said that we looked very good together. Maybe it was the black and white outfit I was wearing or our matching curlly tops. :lol: I did not feel FAT! I am very proud of my dog as she scored tops out of 20 others.

Kudos on the dogs Ruth! Me I am a black and white fantaic. Always matches..always in..always makes me look thin!!

Please tell me the air is on. I am thinking of you!!

Ugh spent 3 hours at home depot then ate the house in severe frustration at my hubby!!!

Ugh...all for gutters....

Ok shoes maybe..lol but gutters??

what did you guys do this weekend??

Tracy

Hi Tracy! I am so glad you joined us - this is a terrific group. I tried to do errands this weekend, and I sort of did, but as usual it was mostly an excuse to get out of the house and away from DH and DDs, lovely as they are, ha ha, but the house is small and my threshold for stress is low!

And for 2 weeks of vacation (sort of vacation, visiting in laws, who are nice but still, it isn't me in a hammock with a drink is it?) we will be together 24/7. So I ran off and bought 2ndhand clothes (for me me me!) and looked at stuff in stores and goofed around. And ate some takeout and some chocolate chips (I admit it) because I was mad about something, but I am too tired to remember what, that was LAST night.

And I am very glad your Thera-Paws evaluation went so well, Ruth!

Oh yeah, this is supposed to be the I Love Myself Because thread. Hmmmm....well, today I do because I was nice to my father on the phone when he was going on & on about weight & diets and stuff, and how awful everyone thought I looked before I lost some weight this time around. And I tried to let it roll off my back and tell myself he is pretty old and I need to be morally impeccable and not give him Hail Columbia. Because anyway he wouldn't get it, he would just get mad and call me back 600 times, which in the end is a LOT more trouble.

Whew. Sorry I ran on like that! Lidian :)
