Coffee is good, I'm having a biscotti w/mine this morning, so is Grace, she's donking her's in my coffee LOL.
Well 1/2 of my cleaning is done, no, make that 3/4's. Almost done w/laundry and the beds are made, now I have to shower and give DD a bath. We are going to a friends house for a bbq in a few hours.
Just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Leenie and Tippy! Hope ya'll both have a blessed and special day!
I'm fixin to do 3 miles and will be back later.
Oh guess what - it has been hot as HECK down here, but this morning a cool front went thru and it was 68 this morning! WONDERFUL! It felt like Fall for a little while this morning. Now it's up around 75, with a high of 90 today, but that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much nicer then it has been down here.
Roger is pulling out some old flooring. So far he has pulled off carpeting, underlayment and three layers of linoleum. We found a newspaper from 1932 and a label from Montgomery Ward with a bunch of 2 cent Washington stamps!
I got roses and candy for my BD along with an A/C for the sewing room. My grandkids brought some helium birthday balloons yesterday. I've had more fun watching the cats stalk those balloons than anything! Chicken cats!
Leenie, thank you for the BD cards! I've tried and tried to send you one, but my computer freezes up. Am so frustrated! It seems that every time Roger defrags, it gets PMS!
Am doing some laundry today because tomorrow we're going to be busy at chruch. We have an emergency Voter's meeting and them a reception for our interum Pastor who will be leaving. I'll miss him so. Such a funny and dedicated man! He came here when we were almost down but not out. As one man put it, we looked like a bunch of beaten puppies. His attitude brogt out church out of despair and I'll never forget him.
Have a good and blessed day everyone and be kind to yourselves.
Hey Leenie & Tippy???? why aren't either of your names listed on Today's Birthdays on the main community board today where all the birthdays are listed????
hey ladies.
The weather has been really great the last couple of days.It's been int 70's with a cool breeze coming through.Me and Dh have been watching our eating but I still feel like a beached whale.I have been reading alot to try and escape my depression.I think with days getting shorter my depression is kicking in.
I hope to feel better today.Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.TTYS
son is sicker than a dog today - both ends if ya know what i mean. so i'm staying behind while daughter and hub just left for hub's nephew's wedding about an hour away.
my back is slowly improving, tho it's hard to drag myself to the gym. been terribly down about things, mostly involving son. I know I'm letting myself feel sorry for myself, but gosh it's hard to get out of that rut.
am down to physio only once next week if weekend goes well. she is impressed with my improvement. the gym helps.. helps the back (I do my back specific ones there too) and the mood. just not sure i should leave the house right now due to son... he's 21, but you'd think he was 12 or 13....
Happy birthday to the birthday girls. Got to love a Leo. My little one is called Leo too...just about survived his birthday party, although self medicating with chocolate throughout. The volume was something else. Still, he's not a 'terrible two' anymore so maybe things will get a bit quieter round here soon.
The weather here is just perfect. Hot sun with cool breezes from the sea just as you start to feel a bit too hot. Makes me sooooo glad I moved away from the city. English summers may be unpredictable but when it all goes right it's amazing!
Went to look at a house today. I don't much like the place we live in, we were running out of time and it was the best on offer, but now it's starting to seem like we're stuck here. The place we looked at had the most amazing views over the harbour and was full of light (this place is old and dark) and I loved it but after a while I realised DH was not as keen, he started throwing all the practical reasons at me, and I know I'm going to lose the arguement. We were supposed to make this place look better so we can make more money selling it-but then with no time how is that meant to happen? It's all jolly frustrating BUT not bad enough to stop me having a diet day from heaven. I lo carbed like you would be proud of. And with no end of sweet stuff around the house.
I have such a sweet tooth but am determined to beat it, so low carb is the way for me, I guess. Feel like I'm back on track now (and I have the caffene withdrawl headache to prove it). I'm thinking of Dory the fish in 'finding Nemo'...you know 'just keep swimming' I just have to keep on doing this and keep on and I'll get there. I'm swimming away from the past and into the future and leaving all the bad stuff behind me.
Went to a "leo" party yesterday, had a blast... ate like a pig oink!
Today I'm just relaxing, got all the cleaning and laundry done yesterday so I'm actually free today. Later I'll do my grocery shopping but thats it. We are planning on one last b-day leo bash for Grace on the 23rd so the store is having a sale on Coke and some other odd's and ends (this week) so I'll grab them while i'm there.
Its a cool day out, LOVE IT!!!
Liz, aren't you going on vacation or am I nuts ?? (okay be gentle now lol).
Was supposed to be going on holidays but no one to take my 3 lb yorkie for the week......so we are staying home most likely and will do some of the back yard reno's and maybe a few day trips...holidays were supposed to be tomorrow after folk fest but like I said doesn't look like it is going to happen.
I ASSumed that my mother would be able to keep him but it does not appear to be so.
Overcast today......might skip folk fest until the evening.
I have to ask...what is a folk fest? In the UK it would probably be something like a real ale festival with some morris dancing and a bit of nasal singing about willows and maidens....but American folk fest? Should I be thinking country & western? Quilt making? Cowboys & Indians? I know my ignorance is probably beyond measure but do tell me what you've been up to!
Lynnie - hope you're having a good day today! hugs
Judomom - hope your son is feeling better too! Hope nobody else gets sick! Sounds like your back is slowly getting back to normal. hugs!
Liz - sorry it didn't work out for you mom to keep your dog. That must be sooooooooooooooooo aggravating for you! so sorry it didn't work out. hugs!
Leenie - so glad to hear that you are relaxing today. I'm surprised you even know how to do that! us gals are always so busy doing everything. enjoy your day! hugs!
Faraway - good for you! sounds like some great exercise! YOU GO GIRL! hugs
