Happy Monday Y'All ;)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Did you do anything fun, special, exciting?

We hit a party on the weekend and then did the normal chores and such.

Whats shakin ?


.

HI everyone! :wave:

I'm struggling a bit this week, so not much to say, but I am lurking...!

Hope everyone is well - miss you guys!

Heather :D

Hi everybody,

Heather, I wish I had a good juicy story to tell you so that the lurking would be more exciting, but alas, you may have to settle for my rambling about my new doggies. Hang in there!:D Hope your dad is doing OK.

And BUDDLY, YOUR NOT DEAD! :carrot: THAT'S GREAT! Good to here from you! A part time job, that sounds good. Hope that works out and you like it. It can be good to get out sometimes and if your like me, it helps to kind of be forced by a work schedule.

Well, I don't think I've said yet? but we got a new dog Saturday night. We are still getting the 2 on Friday, but this will be a third. (Are we crazy?) She is also a rescue Pomeranian and is between 8 and 12 yrs old. We don't know her history except her owner had to go to a nursing home and the family took her to the pound. She is solid black, 11 lbs and we named her CoCo. She is so sweet and loves to play. I can't imagine somebody giving her away. She was instantly right at home and was belly up on the couch sleeping. The house breaking I'm working on. I don't know if she was before, but she has been in a kennel for 4 months and outside all day so she could just go all day. Hopefully she is a fast learner or rememberer (is that a word?). :dizzy:

I also, don't faint, went shopping for a suit today so that I can go on interviews. They will of course have to be altered because there is a general belief that short people only get so fat, so there is no need for larger petite sizes, right? :shrug:

This is getting too long. Tonight is pool, so off to kick some redneck booty! :s:

What y'all doing?

Good Morning,

I get a breather today, boss man isn't here :s:

Hope congrats on the puppies and new suit...you go girl. My friend has 5 dogs and a cat. Her girlfriend works as a volunteer at a local shelter....enuf said LOLOL. So no, I don't think your nuts.

Heather so sorry your in a funk lately...I hope it ends soon. Boy we can all relate. I'm glad you popped in to say hello....this way we won't worry to much :hug:

Well today is wednesday isn't it. I have a ton of writing to do here and my brain just doesn't want to settle down to do it :shrug:

Other than that, sosdd...still making poor choices with food and exercise has been nil. Its like the more I think about these things, the worse I get... what the heck?

Anyhoooooo....today's a new day...and I'll try once more.

Have an awesome day chickies..... remember we love you.

.

Hi all!
Its kind of quiet in here this week.

Hope, Boy oh boy, three new addiditions at once! Holy cow! At least all the craziness will happen at once and you definately will not have a dull moment. Hope they all adjust quickly. I could never work at a shelter as I'd be constantly bringing something home :dizzy: Congrats on the new suit. My daughter has the same problem with finding clothes(she's 5'3", 180lbs with a 40DD chest), thats one reason she had me make her prom dress. Right now we are having problems finding her decent shirts. The ones she likes don't come big enough and the ones big enough are to matronly or just plain ol ugly!! I found a nice simple pattern with a few variations, so when we get home we will go out and find some material she likes.

Heather I hope you feel better soon, keep your chin up:hug:

Leenie, glad to hear you got a bit of a break. Did I read that your daughter has already started school? We don't start until after labour day here. And I'm sure you'll get the food and exercise thing figured out, it takes some of us longer than others to find our place.

Well we are off tomorrow until next Wednesday. Going to visit my dad while the girls go to an anime convention. Then stop and see hubby's parents. I sure hope we have nice summer weather. Oh and tonight we went over to the house that the girls were house sitting at, when we got home all our pea plants were gone!! So we went over to the garden to investigate and the footprints tell the tale....obviously a mommy moose had a feastie of peas while a baby got nice brussel sprout plants and colrabi. We were only gone about 45 minutes and the garden was intact when we left, so they were probably just in the bush having a laugh at us trying to figure out what the heck happened. Darn critters! At least they left the lettuce, beets and turnips, unless thats for tomorrow?:lol:

Well, have a great week and take care everyone,
K

Hi Ladies,

Buddly good to see you. My DD starts school after labor day, I think its September 6th to be exact. ... Mommy Moose ?? ROFL are they dangerous? we tend to get alot of black bear here and they are extremely dangerous especially if they have cubs. I used to walk my dog at 5 AM but to many sightings of them scared the crap out of me. Now DH walks the dog LOLOL.
I have a hard time with clothes too, I'm tall and the shirts in the stores are cut for the short heavier woman rather than the tall heavy woman LOL...as my lovely friend says it...they don't carry giraffe sizes LOL.

Well we went to see Hairspray today...it was cute. John Travolta made the movie so funny to me. Queen Latifa (sp?) was good too.

Well girlies....ttyt :hug:

Good Morning Ladies and Happy Satureday,

What a beautiful morning here, the windows are open and the ac is off ahhhh what a day....... we are heading up to the Renaissance Fair in NY State today (its the last weekend) http://sterlingfestival.com/ Its only a 25 minute drive from our house.

We also have a birthday party today for a 7 year old and a birthday party tomorrow at chuck e cheese for a 6 year old OY VEY !!!! LOLOL

Thats my weekend LOLOL

How about you guys, whatcha up to this weekend???


.

Yikes Sassy! How scary! Glad you are ok. I'm afraid of stuff like that all the time. I try to take all the precautions I can, but you never know. I watch too many crime TV dramas however, that's why I think it's on my mind so much.
Be safe, gotta run unexpectedly.

Thanks Hope.

Yeah I watch all of those too and also Horror flicks so those starting playing in my mind too. Esp the one where the guy is already in the house! Oh Boy I guess I should just shut up already.........lol

:hug:

Good Morning ;)

I have to run b/c DD has a birthday party at chucky e cheese :rolleyes: but I just wanted to say hello to my favorite gals in the world.

I am having a bocca wrap for breakfast (egg) not bad, not bad at all. I thought it would be icky but its pretty good for what it is LOL.

Sassy I'm glad your safe and your not kidding thats scary, I would have been shaking.

Have a blessed day everyone... :hug:

Leenie

TY Leenie, I'm glad I'm safe too and I was shaking!!!! lol.

It is real scary to think about what happened to our co-worker.

Seems like the world has gone mad.

:hug:

Bah - still lurking... it's a bad month.

Sassy - stay safe! Everyone - :grouphug:

Heather :D

Hi Girlies,

Come out come out where ever you are. Its a rainy dreary day here in NJ...better days are ahead ;)

Whats new friends? whats going on in your world?

.

Here I am!

:dizzy: Want to hear a good one courtesy of myself? You know how I have been pushing and looking for new dogs? Well I got them and had major panic attacks and crying fits and had to take them all back. That's what I've been dealing with the past few days. I think they reminded me of my pets that I lost this year and I just couldn't take it. I've never gone down hill so fast before. I feel so guilty about it, but I felt like the world was coming to an end and I just had to get them out of the house. I did not see this one coming at all because I couldn't wait to get them. Oh well.

I wonder if I should ask the doctor for some severe anxiety meds in case this happens again. My girlfriend takes clonapin (sp?) when she feels an attack happening. My hope is that this was isolated to the dogs and not just stress b/c I plan to interview soon and I need to at least pretend to be stable.;)

What's up with everybody else? If you've done anything crazy lately that would make me feel better, I'd love to hear about it! :D

Oh Hope - I'll post just for you... :hug: :hug: :hug: Girl. :( I understand COMPLETELY. For me, last year, it was a parrot - my cockatiel of 14 years died suddenly and I was bereft. I badgered hubby until we spent a ridiculous amount of money on an African Grey... I was SO excited to bring him home... three days. Three days of fear, guilt, tears, tantrums and hysteria. He went back to the store. I was a basket case.

See your doctor - you never know what might 'click' as the right 'help'.

Thinking of you, hon :hug:
Heather

Thank you so much Heather. I read your post last night before I went to bed and it helped make me feel better. I told my fiance about it too. Your story and a couple of others are making me feel like I'm not the only one who ever had this happen. I'm sure this will pass and hope soon b/c I know I'm a good pet parent and so many pets need a home.

Not much going on today. I'm washing some of the pet bedding and toys so I can pack them away for later. I guess I'll do some more laundry after that. I need to get my suits ready for the tailor to shorten. Oh, and I need to do my bills. That sounds like such an exciting day doesn't it?

Buddly: Any garden left after the critters have visited? What's going on with you?

Heather: Thinking about you and your situation at home. I hope you get some peace and resolution soon either way. Keep lurking and thanks again for the post.

Leenie and others: Still busy? Have a great day ladies!

Good Evening ladies
 

Thanks, Jo :)

Things are difficult - it is the worst feeling in the world, not being wanted by the man I've spent fifteen years with. I know I'll get through this, I just don't know how yet.

Thanks for the thoughts, all :grouphug:

Heather

Good afternoon all,

Homebound: I will say a prayer and hope they find the problem. Let us know what is going on.

Heather: I know how this must be bothering you. :( It's hard not knowing you that well and your hubby at all, but maybe it is as you say not him rejecting you, but the new Heather that he can't put down or boss around anymore. I know you've done a lot of changing recently, wow 65lbs. That drastic of a loss will definitely change you. When I lost 55lbs in the past I was a different person, better I would say. I was more outgoing and more hopeful for the future, and more compassionate even, and probably less willing to be put down or mistreated than before. I'm not saying he is a bad person at all, but we get into a groove of how we treat certain people and we expect them to act a certain way, whether it's good for them or not. Now you are probably acting differently, taking care of yourself and taking more time for yourself. Maybe he sees it as neglecting him or is afraid of you pulling away. Like I said I'm just guessing since I don't know the details. All I know is if somebody cares for you, your self improvement should make them happy. The place where you are now is the worst, but after it is over either way I think you will be relieved and ready for an exciting, hopeful, and healthy life. :hug:

OK, now I have to do the bills I mentioned how many days ago? and get the pants to the tailor.

It's somebody else's turn to ramble on now! Where are y'all hiding?

Hi Girls,

I'm going nuts at work, sorry I can't catch up today but I'll be here tomorrow morning to read up on you all. Please know that there isn't a day where you all aren't in my prayers. I think about you and love you all.

:hug:

Good Morning, Happy Saturday :D

Joanne, good luck with your xrays. When do you get the results back? You know you can count on my prayers :hug:

Hope I'm so sorry to hear about your panic attack, it sounds like you just were not ready for the new pups and thats okay dolly, better you find out now then later. Just take it slow and I agree with you about going to your doctor. Your heart is in the right place :hug:

Heather, I can't imagine what you are going through so I can't offer any advice.....but what I can say is we love you here...it might be cyber but I have no doubt if we were standing in the same room with you, you'd be getting lots and lots of hugs right now. I think talking about it will help you realize your not alone and you are loved. :hug:

Where's miss Cathy been and Miss Buddly ;) we miss you.


Lets see........ I finally got TOM last night after not getting it for 2 months and its weird..spotty :shrug: oh well. The changing of life fun fun fun LOLOL.

We are having a birthday party for my DD today, so family will be here later, the house will be clean for once and hopefully the pool water will be warm enuf to swim in.

Udder dan dat....sosdd ;) work work work.

Watcha all doing this weekend? anything fun?

.

Hi All, Just stopping by for a quick Hello! :wave:

Question, not that I care or anything, but shouldn't we be starting a new thread? This one says until the 19th and today is the 25th?? Only curious. lol.

:hug:

Good Morning,

Sassy you are so right LOLOLOL :lol: I never noticed the date....just goes to show you how crazy things are right now LOL. How ya doing girlie...how are you feeling?

Party was nice, everyone had a good time, ice cream cake was good....so until next year LOL The weather was gross yesterday, so sticky and the pool water made it to 82 which was bearable...thank you Lord !!

Its cloudy out today, I'm just beat this morning LOL after shocks from cleaning like a manic these past few days.... I feel old lol.

How's everyone today?

Good Morning everyone :wave:

We got back from our holidays Thursday afternoon. It was a really nice trip and we had a good visit with both sets of parents. The girls had a blast at the anime convention and the costumes must have been good enough as they had their picture taken a lot. Last Sunday was my dad's Model A Car Club annual picnic at his place. A was his partner again in the car games and they won a prize for one of the events, so that was rather neat. (All be it I think they should have got more points on a different event, she roped the "calf", just because it was the tail end it should have counted!!:lol:) While we were at hubby's parents place we got to go and spend time down by the lake in a lovely park. It was so relaxing.
But now its back to the disaster we call home. There is just so much clutter around here, sometimes I wish I could get a huge dumpster parked outside the sliding glass doors and just shovel! Oh well, just use Flylady's 15 minutes at a time and things will change.
The moose has been back and had another meal. I think we may have to put up a fence next year. At least the rabbits have left my beet tops alone this year! (Leenie, to answer your question, if the moose has a calf she can be dangerous, just like mommie bears, but this moose has been around here for so many years I don't think she sees us as much of a threat. One morning going to the bus there was the mom and two older calves and she just watched us and then left, we of course stayed well away and let her know we were around)


Hope, I'm so sorry to hear about your panic attacks :hug: I know you will be able to adopt when you are ready. Maybe this time was just to soon and to much at once. It will happen.

Heather :hug: take care of yourself.

Sassy, I'm glad you are safe after your scare. Sounds fishy that the outside light was out, but not burnt out. Stay safe!

Joanne I hope your tests turn out fine and everything gets sorted out.

leenie, the party sounds like fun. I'm not sure about sticky heat tho :lol: All be it we were officially at 2*C (35*F) this morning. I guess I better call the furnace guy and get our furnace fixed soon, sounds like we might be needing it!!

Anyway I better get a move on here, the floor needs to be washed as the dog has been tracking mud in for a bit now. ( I'm also thinking of shaving the dog to help the mud tracking problem)

Take care everyone,
K
