Well DS got back to school ok, now I take the cat in for shots today and then to the dentist for a checkup and cleaning Tuesday......

Darn, must have hit a wrong key and lost my nice post.

Probably wasn't supposed to say that much. Oh well, nice morning, off to another good start - hope it lasts more than an hour.

Just checking in to say Hello and I can see that you all had a pretty good weekend. Not much going on here. I am trying to lose a few more pounds. I am doing the South Beach and have dropped a pound already this week. I just like some room to be comfortable if I want to eat something extra or different.We are again looking for rain. My yard drys out really fast..It helps to cool things off some too. Sometimes ,It just steams after a rain.
My son is going on a cruise this week. I get his dog.. He is too old to be a problem.. Next week I am going to see my daughter for a few days.. I am looking forward to that..
Bye for now...Joanne

Joanne, are you starting in the phase one or phase 2? (if it even does go in phases) al I know is I cannot go without my fruit..I eat a lot of it!

Hi guys-I will have to definitely go back on a diet when everyone leaves. I was very nervous about taking care of Evan all day so we all went to the beach and I helped out there. It was a wonderful day!!! Had fried clams and we are going out again tonight. They are leaving in the morning. Bye for now Mima

Candice- I am trying to do phase 1..I did it before and lost 14 lbs.. I too love my fruit. I ate a peach yesterday and half banana this morning. Mainly because I take lasix. I am under goal and just want a safe area..If there is such a thing..
Mima- Fried Clams! Is there any other way to fix them? I try to use a little oil as possible when I make them.. I need to find some other ways.I might broil some this week.
It is hot here in Fl. Steamy outside. Not a whole lot gets done outside now.. My yard will never be the picture perfect yard..
Hello Everybody...Joanne

Lots more rain and lots more pain. Bad thunder storms Sunday ... poured yesterday and dark today, may get more. Things are 'moldy' here! We're having spring, summer and fall combined! I hate it!!!

I have Ross again this week. Will have Jenna 2 days next week. She starts Kindergarten. I'll have to go pick her up at 11:30 two days. Then the next week she only goes 1/2 day all week so I'll have to go get her everyday. Then she'll be going all day after that. I still can't believe my last baby will be going off to school! (Sami will be 5 next year ... wonder if they take goldens ...)

Joanne.....that's why I went under goal to have a safe zone but I knew it was there and just ate too many cookies so now I am a few over! Wish we did not have to struggle with every bite to at goal..but that is life for some of us I guess. I got some things repotted and watered today and then off tothe dentist for a check up...have to go back, need one tiny litttle filling! Yuck..I hate the drill!

Mima.....I would be nervous around a baby too, always afraid I will do something wrorg or not react quick enough.

Meme.....Mary took her little lamb too shcool! Storms missed us again and it is ncie and cool but warmeing up this week with humidity...............Oh joy

Do you know the original Mary who took her lamb to school lived not too far away from here-2 towns over. That was my first order of fried clams in about 20 years. Went out last night and had seafood casserole but no dessert except for a bite or 2 of Brad's . Everyone leaving this am-gotta go make Al some pancakes. Mima

Hi there ladies.

Mima - So today you get back to normal. I love company, but I also love to get back to my routine. I remember when Ashley was a baby, and I hadn't really had one around for 23 years - gosh it was a BIT scary. However, I soon picked it up again

Candice - I hurt Candice!! I don't think I should be walking that many steps in a day. My lower back is just not up to it, but I will keep slogging away. Did over 8000 yesterday and was awake most of the night, even after taking some pain killers. It is the arthritis that was screaming at me.

Meme - so you are back to babysitting. Hope you are feeling better. The weather seems to be more volitile everywhere this year.

Joanne - good for you back on South Beach. Hope it is working well for you.

Anagram - hope you and hubby are doing well. How did the weekend go with the grandkids?

Not doing much today. I don't care if I don't walk 100 steps. Nothing feels like moving anyway
