Mima - TAKE IT EASY and stop hurting yourself. I will be glad when May 5th comes and you can finally take it a little bit easy. Good thing that Brad helps you out.
Joanne - Well spring WAS here, but it left again The wind is blowing like crazy, a little snow is flying and polishing the roads so they are treacherous. I want some of that 70+ weather. Hope you are feeling good. I have to write down everything or else it is too easy to go over the points.
Meme - Where are you? Glad you don't find us depressing
I hope you are ALL better now.
Ally - Hi. How are you doing? Hope you are feeling better as well.
Having a nice week after last week. Nothing pressing. Friends coming for supper tonight, so I am making the Cranberry Chicken. I would love to make the Strawberry Salad, but it is just way to good!
Mima...I guess I'll let you get depressed over snow...I would if it snowed here. It isn't as warm this week as it was last week but still pretty. It's getting dry. I hate to see it rain but we need some right now!
I'm still coughing a little but nothing like I was! And my back is all better...back to full speed ahead! I only have one gear and that is fast!!!
My neck and shoulders have been killing me lately. The muscles are tight enough to break! My dad had this and actually had a muscle in his left arm to break one night. They were unloading a truck and another man put a box in daddy's outstretched arms. The box was too heavy and straightened his arms out (he hadn't been able to straighten his arm out in years) and the muscle broke. When he made his biceps pop up...it popped up on the side of his arm instead of on the top...looked soooo weird! The kids loved for him to do that! The Dr. told him he could do surgery and fix it but it would just be for looks, wouldn't help the pain, so he didn't have it done!
Thanks for the new thread happy! You all just yack way too much but I love ya anyway nice picture of ya in that fancy hat!
I will check out the site and see..I'm not too bright when it comes to figuring things out.ask Meme! Do you pay for it or are you on a free trial now? I have pain shop pro too but don't
know how to do too much with it.
Mima..don't injur yourself so you cannot enjoy your wedding nite!
Meme..that must have been terribly painful.....they say just a tiny tear is..ouch! We are dry too but some rain on the way today!!!! My anxiety makes my neck and shoulders extremely tight and sometimes my head shakes from my neck muscles clinching!!!! Did ya get that fish tank cleaned???? Mine needs it too!
Hi Ally and Joanne
I was in a better mood today..I was able to go outside and get one of the flower beds cleaned up but still alot of pain in my body..it just screams at me to stop..but I set a goal to finish the bed and I did! (it is a 20x3 bed with my roses and stuff in it) Burning some calories too....and I ate at 18 points for two days!
I'm going to stay home and putter today.I got my things for centerpieces yesterday. A green glass dish with a hurricane glass and a cream candle surrounded by ivy and a cream bow. I LOVE to do that stuff-it's relaxing. And I am making 4 for less than 30$ and it's 60 for 4.Next week it will be easier because I'll be moved and i probably have a month to finish up but I am going to work on the 16th. That will be nothing after what I've done. Doc is going to call today about my cholesterol. Nicer today. have a great day everyone. Mima
Well...I called it...and we got it...rain, rain and more rain! It rained all night last night and has rained nearly all day today. Didn't stop until about 3 this afternoon and is supposed to rain more tonight...severe thunderstorms. I cleaned my daughter's house today and I'm about dead! I'm aching all over from the rain, too. I'll have Kaylyn all day tomorrow...she drives me nuts...yack, yack, yack...all day long. Her favorite word is "why"! (She's pretty fond of what, where, when & how, too!)
Happy- I feel great and if I wasn't having so much trouble with my knee it would be better. Lots of swelling and pain. Looks like I am going to have to have it injected again. It has barely been three months if it has been that long..I've lost tract.
The weather here is hot. In the 80's. We are again wishing for rain. The air here is full of oak pollen. My hubby has to take something everyday for it.
Hello Meme send me some of your rain. I got out and tried to water some flowers. Everything is wilting. Pulled a few weeds and now am sorry. It just made my knee hurt worst.
Mima..Just a few more days!! You are getting married Greek Easter weekend. (Orthadox Easter) I will cook a leg of lamb and all the fixings. My daughter may come down. My youngest sister and her hubby ,and her daughter ,G/child will be over. My son will be with us too.
Hello Ally -Hope you have a nice weekend..How's your kids?
Bye ...Joanne
ALLY, WHERE ARRRRRE YOU? She is missing again. Gosh, I hope you are feeling ok, and not bogged under in all those carbs
Meme - As if you didn't have enough to do! Why in the world were you cleaning your daughters house? Enough already, I won't lecture you, you just pay the price with pain. I do hope you are feeling better. Cute picture of your little grand daughter. They do look so sweet in those little hats. I could never keep a hat on my kids, but Ashley wears hers all the time, no trouble at all.
Candice - Did you get lost in Paintshop pro? I can help you out, or Meme will. She knows more about it than I do. I want to learn animations next. I learned how to crop a picture today, because, for the life of me, I could not figure that one out. Low and behold, in Paintshop, it tells me how to do that. I am learning something new everyday about this, and I find it quite facinating.
Joanne - I am so sorry that your knee is still giving you so much trouble. Are you able to walk far, or have you had to give that up for now? I sure wish we lived closer. I could just sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee (decaf, which really isn't real coffee at all) with you and have a really good talk. I probably would be like the energizer bunny and keep talking and talking and talking. Candice will agree when she sees how long this post is
Mima - Boy, not so many days left now - only 11. We will have to have a cyber shower for you here. That would be fun.
That is a picture of my grand daughter, taken at Easter, just before her 4th birthday. This one is just to show you how silly kids can be. I told her to smile for me.
Meme- Cleaning your daughters house. You sound like me.. I help my son with his laundry and when we go to his house to take the dog out for him I make his bed if he hasn't made it. I never could stand unmade beds or dirty laundry lying around. He says "mom,You don't have to do that" I don't mind. He is so busy and he does a lot for me in return.Don't get sick though. Your G/daughter is a cutie.
Happy- This knee is a pain in my backside. I don't walk when it is flared up like this..I feel really guilty when I miss my walks. I have been doing it for so many years. I would love to have someone like you to just sit down and have a nice talk. So you beat the caffien. I did too a few times. Now I am back to my bad habit. I drink a couple mugs in the morning and don't touch it the rest of the day. I guess I got tired of feeling deprived I hated the decaf . And then my daughter told me what was in it and how it was processed. I felt like I was just as well off enjoying my coffee.I forgot all she said about it.Or I would pass it on. Is it still snowing?We are having 85-87 degree weather. Air conditioner runs and runs. Thank God.I don't mind the heat but when I want to get out of it I can. The picture of your G/daughter is cute . The little ones are so wonderful at that age.
Hello Candice,Mima, Ally...Hope you all are well. ....Bye Joanne
I'm afraid my motives for cleaning my daughter's house are purely selfish. She pays me $40 which is about $10 an hour! She had someone else doing it and they quit...I told her I'd help her out until she found somebody else...but I don't think she is trying! She says I do so much better than a stranger would, plus, she doesn't really want a stranger in her house when she isn't home, either and she'd have to give them a key, etc. I didn't do it the last 2 weeks because I was sick...it was really bad yesterday!!! My daughter leaves for work at 7 in the morning and doesn't get home until 6 at night...has a husband who doesn't help much and 2 kids ages 3 and 5...the 5 year old is the one with problems...plus she leads 2 children's choirs in her church. She really has her hands full. I don't mind helping her out when I can...and IF I can! I usually clean her house on Friday's but I was down with my back last Friday and she has her house up for sale and needed it cleaned BAD yesterday!
I have got to get started on my spring cleaning!!! Anybody else got their's done??? I had planned to get soooo much done Saturday but Garrett will be 7 on Saturday and is having a BD party at the roller-rink...can't miss that! I get so aggravated with my mom...she was just *****in' all over the place today about the BD party on Sat. Why on earth did they have to have a BD party in the middle of the day on Sat. She had too much to do...she had to take a bath and get ready for church on Sunday!!! She told me all this stuff she had to do on Sat. She lives alone and doesn't do ANYTHING all week long...I finally told her to just stay at home if she didn't want to go but to stop making excuses and just say she didn't want to go. I'm so sick of her...I wish she would get mad enough at me to move away!!!!!!! (Say like to Afghanistan or somewhere! If they wanted to torture the terrorists they could make them live with my mom for awhile!) Hubby said she even called him while I was teaching this afternoon and complained about the party Sat....she was telling him what all she had to do...that's just too funny! She doesn't usually mess with him!!! He usually tells her "like it is"!!! I'm having a yard sale in June...wonder if I could give her away at that??? (They'd probably bring her back and sue me!!!
i've got another load in my car to bring in and moving day is tomorrow. We are going to the singles group for the last time tonight. ayone ever get a tingling in their lip. i've had it for 2 weeks, Probably a fibro thing. honey just got in so i'll get hime to help. Bye Mima
Hi Guys. I am still alive. I tried to get on one nite this week and the site was down. My boys are usually on the computer during the week and I have given up the battle. IF it keeps them quiet and happy....yea!!
I am going to ebay to bid on a aquamarine ring. I had one my mother gave me and it finally fell apart and I found one just like it there. Wish me luck.
I will check in tomorrow and read all your posts.
Hope everyone is OK.
Here is a picture of all 4 of my kids...this is the one I told you about...they had these made for us for Christmas. I'll post one of all 8 of them in the next post.
