Hey all! wow I've not been here for so long, that the interface is different!!??

Panda, you are sane, the rest of the world needs to get it together!

Lisa, Hi and congrats on almost being a fur-baby-Nana! (grandmother)

Flower I loved hearing about your plantings also!! shame about the Assn. being so hard-nosed about what you can and can't plant though. And yeah buying all those annuals plus the containers plus the soil gets pricey so very quickly. We are so psyched that the 2 varieties of petunias that husband started from seed, "Magic Carpet" and "Burpees Best". The "best" ones are ruffled!! like fully doubled ruffled! and the Magic Carpet has an outstanding growth habit, they trail a bit but each leaf cluster is like a little rose cluster! I just love them all The poppies..I don't know what kind they are. They are not Oriental ones, I do recognize those. They are alot smaller and shorter but still red, with black centers. Very delicate looking petals, and leaves that are sharply ridgedy. Have found a bunch of pansies that self-seeded, with little flower faces and my zinnias are doing well! LOVE love summer growing.

Coop. wow at 52 flippin pounds gone!!! and more to come

So Kathleen must be in Ireland now?

We finally bit the bullet and decided to lease a car, first time leasing for us. Got a 2018 Subaru Impreza, we didnt get a color choice but red is okay I guess. I am happy for AWD for winter, and just having something brand new is wonderful and feels great. Yeah I rode my m'cycle to work for almost 3 weeks straight, 6 days/week! and only 2 days were pretty rainy.

Been getting lots of comps on my desserts at work!! I am finally a little more at ease with the new chef, he is pretty chill and I think he respects me. Today's offerings were - a chocolate crumb bar for lunch desserts, and for dinner dessert, a New York style cheesecake with a rhubarb-raspberry compote. I walked down the road 1/4 mile this morning at work, to pick the rhubarb, about 7 pounds of it!

that is horrendously long!!

I'm watching "London Has Fallen" with Gerard Butler. Good action flick. Add it to my list.

Reminder:

"The Accountant" with Ben Affleck. Very exciting.

"Man on Fire" with Denzel Washington. Really good.

I hope you slept soundly.

Congrats on the new car, Holly. Leasing sounds like a good idea due to the salt effect on your cars. Red cars are sharp.

Sasha's grumpy. She smacked me yesterday. She smacked Lily this morning. She smacked Hank this afternoon.
I think she's getting ready to have these babies in the next week or so.

I'm glad you are getting your due on your desserts. I know you take pride in them.

We missed you round here, for sure.

I hope Kathleen is enjoying her vacay.

ooo, Sasha sounds like she's ready to have her kitties, if she is acting out of sorts! Love the same Sasha, we had a Siberian Husky we named Sasha. I hope she doesn't smack her family any more!
You're right, red is a sharp color! And it has the rear view backup camera, very cool. That's new to me.
Lisa you always write such good things for us, you are a great friend to us!!
I have a bunch of cakes to make today, carrot cake for the dining room, but 2 special order cakes, a birthday cake for 25 ppl, and an anniversary cake for 16 ppl.
Hello to everyone here and I hope you have a good day

I don't know how you work around sweets like you do. I'd weigh 400 lbs.

I try to be supportive.

Yeah, Sasha is grumpy. I think she'll have them in the next week or so.

Post again when you can, Holly.

Sasha is just grumpy cause she's heavily pregnant. She just smacked Hank again and he's her litter mate. She just doesn't want anyone to get close to her.

I adore my bed. It's a really nice mattress. It's a brand new pillow top mattress. I make payments on it every month but worth every penny.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend.

I'm kinda quiet today but I wanted to tell you all I went to see Trudy for a check up yesterday. Ive lost 8 lbs since last month.


I also joined a gym yesterday. I'm very excited.

I'm sitting here watching sashies babies moving. Her stomach shows babies kicking and moving around. You can see them so clearly. She is having trouble getting comfortable too. Her tum tum is so cute.

I am so excited to start working out. My first day will be on July 3rd as that is when my 1st payment will be made. I'm going to get 1 outfit to begin with. I'll just wash it out after every workout. I'll need a bathing suit too.

I hope Kathleen had a great vacay.

Miss you all posting.

Lisa,
Great work on the lbs dropped and let us know how the first workout goes. It’s exciting to begin a new program.

I’ve never had a cat so it’s interesting to read about Sasha’s personality and pregnancy. Do you notice a big difference in your quality of sleep now with the new bed?

Hello everyone,
I had a pretty good day - I had the day off and caught up on sleep, got my hair done, walked around in the sunshine and met up with a friend.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi panda,

I am sleeping a lot better and feel more rested. I got a new cpap mask and that always helps me sleep more soundly.

I'll begin working out on the third of july. That is when my payment will be pulled out of my checking acct. I'm quite excited.

Still no babies. She is uncomfortable when she tries to sleep. She tosses and turns. She is going to have have several babies. She broke our pact. I have told her several times, she can have 2 babies.


I have PT at 2:30 pm.

Have a great day, ladies.
