Good Morning,

Can you believe its MAY? wow time is flying. Two more weeks and our area is out of danger of frost so we can start planting outside

Today I am thinking of taking DD bowling, I have to run and visit my sis in the hospital and then food shopping. But mostly it is going to be 80 degrees here so I will be outside mostly.

Tomorrow we are expecting rain so I will do indoor stuff like cleaning and cooking after church.

Watcha all doing ??

Hugs.

Good Afternoon Gang!

It has been raining here since yesterday at 4 pm and it is really getting old. We had a huge storm during the night. DH got up and watched the weather for a few hours so I slept pretty peacefully knowing he was watching things. Matter of fact, I slept until 8:30 this morning which is really late for me. I can't remember the last time I slept that late.

I haven't accomplished much today. I am really moody and edgey and I know it's just PMS, so I'm just trying to stay out of everybody's way. Thankfully this will pass. Somedays it is no fun being a woman!

I hope everybody is having a good day!

hugs,
cathy

GREETINGS!
It is sunny & warm here in Ky................
The Mexican Fiesta went real well...weather was nice!Lots of food for all!

Today.attended a small Baby shower at O Charleys...the 2nd "shower"like that in a month..........SORRY but I think it a pretty ""lazy"way to shower someone! We addressed our own Thank You notes.paid for our own lunch and waited 30 min on all the late people...............what happened to "social grace"? Oh well.guess I am an old FUDDY DUD! What do you all think? None the less.the Mother To Be got presents!

Heading for Sat night church.helping with the kids tonight..............later....taters!

Hey Cin - glad everything went well with the mexican dinner!

I have never heard of a shower like that! wow! so like you all go to a restaurant for lunch? order and pay for your own lunch? address your own envelopes so they can send you a thank you note - wow! do they even have a cake??? I don't think you are an old Fuddy Dud at all - I have never heard of such. We just threw my niece a bridal shower and it was nothing like that girlie. These southern ladies down here (especially my mom) would have had us hog tied and drug thru the streets if we tried to make them address their own thank you cards. sounds like next thing they'll be doing is sending out invitations that say "no shower, just send me a present" hehehehe

Have a good time at church and send some sunshine my way.

hugs,
cathy

Ok ladies The lord of the dance was Wow Wow Wow. Never seen anything like it. They dance so wonderful. It was 2 hours long and it went by so quick. The on core was so sweet. Wow Wow Wow. How do they tap like that. I want to see it again. Hubbies parents took us all out to dinner At the cracker barrel. That was really nice. Easy to pick something healthy unless your husband is whispering get some thing cheap agggrrrr. Cause no one else did even him. aggr. Men.
My son girlfriend didn't look as bad as i thought she would with a broken nose. She was funny cause she was taking pain pills . I was like on mother over drive with her making sure she was ok. You ladies know how that goes. I think i drover her nuts.


April-Yes April I'm jealous. It's raining and burr it cold burrr

Cathy- i feel for you i'm on mine too. No fun going to the show and having to go to the bathroom every place we went.

Cin- no fun waiting. My family is like that every one show up when the want. Drive me up the wall . Just not polite. O well i never miss out im there on time and stay till everything over and have much more fun than them.
Don't sound like they did much work. Pass all the work of on everyone. I wouldn't of address my thank you card. I just thank myself for doing all the nice things i did for myself.

lynnie- Great Big Hugs!!! Sending away those mean old chocolate craving go a way .

Hey!!!

I just found out last night I am going to be flying to Des Moines, Iowa for a week to judge nationals!! Are any of you near Iowa?? If so, I'd love to know what there is to do around there, and maybe meet ya too!! I am going end of July until August 2nd. I keep getting teased that all I will get to see is corn and tornados. There HAS to be more than corn in Iowa.

Thanking you in advance for anything you can tell me about this place.

I managed to bowl 2 games last night, itchy eyes and all! I bowled a 217 and 167. Wouldn't you know it the stitch that was driving me bananas fell out AFTER I was all done bowling. Then I just helped the other one out in the other eye with a pair of tweezers. Don't worry, they were ready to come out...past the 10 days limit so that's why they were just hanging around. I feel SOOO much better now!! Ahhhhhh... Plus now I can drive so...California here I come.

Lynnie: What's a girl without chocolate?? I just switched over to dark chocolate because it has the good fats and stuff in it whereas milk chocolate doesn't. Plus it's a bit richer so I don't tend to gobble it all down in 1 sitting.

Everyone else... Hi! Hope things are going great for ya.

[Flower_storm]

Been a fun day . Hubbie and son work on the car so house was mine. Then they went to show off what they did to the car.
While they were gone. First did some house work. got that out of the way.
One of the best part was being on the phone for 2 hours straight, no interruptions. What way to talk. Who thought that was possible.
Made plans with a friend to go out next weekend Or rather in. Going to her house for the night. Can wait, girl talk. Be my first since i was 17 years old.

Made chili cause it was so cold. Have plenty to freeze for latter.
All in all been a wonderful time. What it is to be alone Party

Noodle - nope live in Ohio. No clue what you could do. I know you will have fun.
Bowl better than me . Never get more than 100
Yay Stitches are out.

Hi Ladies,

Welcome April Pepper Sounds like your going thru some rough times for sure. Are you on any medications for your depression? if not first step I would suggest to do is see your doctor. Counting calories and exercise is the way to go. How many calories are you striving for a day ? how much are you trying to lose ? We have several children in my family (neices & nephews) that struggle with adhd, and also I believe although never diagnosed that I have some sort of ADD. Just wish when I was a kid they knew more about it.

Well its good to see you here w/us. Hope you can join us on the daily boards so we can get to know you better.

Hugs !!!

And by the way, your boyfriend is right, you are beautiful
