http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...hicstlb-vi.jpg :flow1: WELCOME! :flow1: You've found a great place to come and vent, share or ask for prayer support :) This is a great group who will be very encouraging, caring and loving... anyone is welcome to join! *~*~* A Servant's Prayer Jesus, MY Jesus... How marvelous your ways... Far more splendid than my mind can envision. What an honor to be chosen by you. A lowly child I am, but empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill the great hope to which you have called me. I give myself totally to you, Lord. Take my imperfect heart and make it perfect. Peel away the hardness. Close the doors I have opened to the temptations of this world. Gently remove the roots of painful memories, sins, doubts and fears. Discard anything that separates me from you. Lord, fill the emptiness with the light of your love that I might be a beacon calling the lost back to you. To love as you love... To serve as you serve... To heal as you heal... To forgive as you forgive... always mindful of my nothingness while doing great and marvelous things in you name and for you glory. This I pray, Jesus, in YOUR name. Amen <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |

Thursday
HI GALS :wave:
Just finished dinner..I made some great cheddar/jack/onion and hamburger/cheddar/onion enchiladas for Cinco De Mayo...05-05-05.. you are right Donna~cool! Amanda had her regional tennis finals today...the top 4 in the region go from their conference, they are #3 this year...they won :dance: :cp: ...against the #2 team...Amanda had a great doubles win 9-7...lost in singles 6-2, 6-2...against a superior opponet...but that was just enough for the team to win 5-4! So tomorrow they play the #1 team in their conference...the #2 team in the nation at the NAIA level...Amanda's team is the #9 team now in the nation...they have dropped this year a few spots. .....Just got off the phone with a "crying" daughter...seems the coach is pulling her out of her singles match tomorrow...she plays the #4 spot...moving the 5 and 6 up and our #7 in...says we will have a better chance to win....she is pretty bummed out...I told her she hasn;t been winning at singles (because she is playing too high up in the order...she should be a #6 sigles)...anyway...tried to encourage her not to lose focus on the doubles..her strong point...she probably wouldn't win at the singles anyway...still, she didn't want to be dropped. The Tennis Banquet went well the other night. Amanda received awards from the school, conference and the NAIA for Academic All-American...plus the team is eligible for Academic All-American if they hold on for two more weeks...Almost un-heard of for the team to avg. 3.5 gpa or better. She also received the Sportsmanship award...voted on by her teammates. SUNNY I was gonna razz you on Winslow..but I thought better about it! Didn't want to rub it in ;) Ryan has decided not to walk with his credential class for social sciences..he is going to go to Amanda's graduation instead..since they are at the same time...and just get pictures with her...he has his gown. That will be on the 14th...the party will have 60 friends and family members +++ whoever the kids invite. As far as the puppies...we have had around 30 here before and they LOVE IT!!!! Well, Ryan needs the computer for his school...I will send some pictures if I can hurry... Amanda and I are going to see Lee Strobel...author of A Case for Christ, A Case For Faith tomorrow night...great Christian writer. |
SENIORS....Ananda and her doubles partner with their school academic award....girls team...boys and girls team...
|
AZULFIRE...my ex called me at the match today to see how our daughter was doing...she said she saw someone wave to her!! wink-wink
|
Hi !

E.Z.- wow, daughter does so much better at doubles, what a good dad helping her feel better, I am sure she knows in her own mind but always nice to have a shoulder to cry on, great record 9th in the nation is still extremely impressive.

It's Friday...It's Friday...Yipee...It's Friday!
Hey there Sunny...I'm feeling neglected without a siggy...but then again I wouldn't know how to do it anyway. I'm glad you are feeling the inches come off. I will be changing my ticker today...down 4 lbs at weigh in last night. Michele...I have a cribbage board with the pegs out of deer antler. EZ...sorry your daughter feels bad. Don't you hate giving up the computer? It's only hubby and me...and we each have our own and he hasn't turned his on for at least 3 weeks. WI last night...down 4 lbs. It must be the devotions and bible study because food wise, I didn't do THAT good this past week. Thank you Lord for your mercy. I prayed for His mercy the other night after a day of horrific eating. So when I got on the scale last night...I knew it was personal and especially for me, his daughter who loves Him and He loves me. Thanks again God! The computers are crawling today at work via our network, so work will be frustrating today, that's why I decided to come and visit you guys. Well, I see the Word icon blinking which means it's finally done saving after 5 full minutes. Hugs to you all! |
MKay!!! Woohoo! :dance: DOWN 4 lbs!!!! :bravo::woo: You have been giving it a lot of effort, i'm glad it's showing.
Have you seen a few of the new smilies? like :ebike: and :woo: above. Cool, huh. Sunny~I am starting to lose again but not quite past my original 17 lbs. :( In the next couple weeks i hope to be changing it. It's beautiful here today, going to be 75 or so. Had a couple calls last night on the crisis lines. Someone who wanted to talk about her bf, no abuse. Almost annoying, but you have to support them anyway. I've been fighting a sore throat for a couple daysnow and i didn't have time to have breakfast....but the good news is that I didn't stop for fast food, i decided to get to work and have my knudsen juice, and maybe i'll have my luna bar early to count for breakfast. I work this weekend at the YC, Sat. and Sun. I want to wish all you Mom's a Wonderful Blessed Mother's Day!! |

Sunny -- thanks for making a sig for me, that's really sweet of you. sure i'd like one with rachel on it. thank you!!!
went on a blind 'date' last night. with a guy named beau. he was really, really cute and i totally blew it because all i could do was just smile at him because i could not think of one word to say. it's ok because he's enlisting in a few weeks. i won't even tell you the weird things he said to try to flirt with me (he's from a very small town)... anyways i'm so tired. i stayed out too late. talk to you all later...bye bye |
Yes - TGIF !!
Hi all, boy did I have an unusual day yesterday, Sara fainted :faint: !!! :o at church, didn't find out until after school when she told me, stated she felt fine and went on to tennis lesson after work, came off the court with a bad headache :mad: and didn't want to go to youth group (40 days of purpose). Ran by fastfood and got her a big salad and headed to the park, was suppose to meet Fred there after he got off work for a lap or two and then dinner. Well, of course Murphy's law kicked in, :^: took DD to the park with me and I walked a lap while waiting on Fred and she finished her salad and was going to lay the chair down and take a short nap, (instead talked on the phone the whole time). By the time I finished one lap, we had LOTS of dark clouds and a big thunderstorm looming, :rain: couldn't call Fred, didn't know his work #, so we waiting around for him to show up, once he got there we sat on a park bench and chatted a while and then I had to just cancel to take DD home. Oh well, perhaps one night next week. . . . long story short, DD felt MUCH better after eating and did go on ballet later.
Then this am she calls from school and forgot all her paperwork for her National Honor Society application, :o suppose to be in today, NO exceptions! So I had to run home, find everything :dizzy: and then take it up to her at school, - she'll know 1st of the week whether or not she's accepted! mkay - agree with your TGIF, except I get to work again tomorrow!! Very thankful for my job but 6-day/week the past two weeks is hard trying to catch-up everything and go to church also on Sunday. :^: Hope your computers are working better now. . . perhaps they've had a long week also? :lol: EZ - the enchiladas sound great! DD & I are going Mexican this evening for dinner and probably a movie, it's my Mother's Day present (even though mom gets to foot the bill!) but at least she's planned time with me! By the way, when is the grad party? My invite must have gotten lost in the mail??? :D You and the kids will have so much fun, - be really tired, - but fun! :woo: Way to go AGAIN, Amanda! Sportsmanship Award, Academic honors, you musta done somethin' right Dad! My Sara has about 4 more tennis lessons until we're out for the summer, - kinda looking forward to it ya know? Sue - Can I go camping w/you? Can I come? Please, please, please?? I'm ready for a few days off. Used to go camping w/Mom, Dad & brothers when we were all younger and really enjoyed it. One of my favorite camping memories was when we camped in the snow! :sman: Had 2 other families w/us and their kids, and all us kids just moved from camper to camper, eating, playing board & card games, having a good time, - not real sure how the parents handled all of us at one time! ENJOY! Azulfire - My only challenge has been made by SunnyD, you see we kept pace with one another last month, she beat me out by 1, mind you, 1 stinking mile, she at 52 & me at 51. She says we're going for 50 this month and I'm up for it, guess we're going to be counting you in now and making sure you keep pace also :coach: ... so how are you doing so far, have you been able to get much walking in? By the way, I love your cool posts, the icons/blinkies, etc. I think they add so much and are fun too! Mitchypoo/Michele - Love all your cute new icons too - sounds like it's catching on with everyone, keep it up. Hope your sore throat is doing better. The grand opening sounded like fun, have you heard/seen Eric anymore? Don't work too hard this weekend. . . :chin: . HEY - where's all our MIA's. . . MrsSmiley let us know about your uncle. . . momof10/Virginia, are you still walking?. . .MNEWTON, ZOE, SPROUT, GRANDMAWANTS2LOSE-LYNN, DAVOSWOMAN, JANICE, TEEL, SAMI, and all others, our list just goes on and on doesn't it? Anyway, we miss you guys, stop in and say hi when you can. SunnyD/Donna - Thanks for starting us a new thread, we're going through these like wildfire! Loved the pups and the cute bear, of course I like all bears since I'm a BEARS fan (as in Chicago, da Bears!) Keep up your walking, as you know even a little bit makes you feel better. I walked at lunch today and so far for May have 13.8 miles! YEAH ME! I feel sort of like the tortoise and the hare, seems like I get the running start but you quickly catch up and then overtake me, but that's okay since you're my motivator, :coach: keep it up! (& catch me if you can! :D :crazy: ) Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend and a most beautiful Mother's Day to all you ladies - Margie |
Margie~wow, scary about dd fainting. Not scary enough to go to dr? And bummer about your date with Fred, so you met and talked briefly while walking, but did you too decide on a day/time for dinner?
Eric is calling and he is doing better but golf is running his life and i'm not sure he has time for me, but i'm letting the Lord lead me in this. I have a busy schedule too so i understand to a point. |

HI LADIES :wave:
Well my kiddos college tennis is over...what I will see anyway :( ...they still have their Nationals in Alabama in a week and a half. Not sure what I will do with my spare time? Ron's taekwando?? Lara's games??....always something to do...I am sure she will still play tennis somewhere...but then I am moving away from her...??..time will tell. She lost 8-6 in doubles today, the other doubles teams lost 8-6 and 8-4....we lost all singles matches but one..(not the girl that took my daughter's spot! in singles!)...but it was against the #2 team in the nation for NAIA college division...finished second in our region...it was just a little of a downer because we have won our region the previous 5 years...but the team that beat us was a much better team this year,...something like 21 and 0...their first region win ever. I guess the team went to her coach and voiced their displeasure on what he did yesterday...he apologized to them and to my daughter today...all is well...as good as it can be...I made her go to him and tell him she didn't disagree with his coaching...but the way he handled the situation...the #1 complaint of the team also...hope he learned a little for the next girl...we have had some tough issues over the last 3 years...soooooooo done with that now!! MARGIEB Why did Sara faint? My son has fainted several times...by being nervous and just locking his knees tight without realizing it...hope ALL is well. Great job on the HONOR SOCIETY!! My nephew received his report card (progress report) yesterday...AAAHHHH 3 D's, 2 C's and 1 B....UNCLE GARY'S DISHONOR SOCIETY!!! :lol: I chewed him out so bad that when his friends came to see if he was OFF restriction...I let him go play!! I am too easy! Looks like the "dating" is going as planned :lol: Always a STANDING invitation to my parties!! :woo: SUE Hope you have a great time camping this week-end!! That pizzza was great!! What was that "green" stuff anyway ;) MKAY Great job on the loss. Angie has her computer in her office that I could use...but she was on it..Ryan has a lap-top but HE WANTS TO USE THIS ONE!...for his homework and class lessons he has to make...easier I guess. Have a great week-end with Gary. MICHELE Golf.."can be"...the other women :lol: ....just ask my daughter!...Although her boyfriend is teaching her how to golf. RACHEL Blind dates can be fun...and not so fun..can't they! Keep trying. AZULFIRE Angie and I will probably head up that way towards the 3rd week in June...for the summer (for her)...and me...??? not sure if I want to stay w/o her...although there are PLUSES to that :lol: :sssh: ...don't tell her...although she does check in here...oops! ;) WELL, I need to do some things before my daughter and I head to the christian conference on "SCIENTIFIC proof of Christ!!".... HAVE A GREAT WEEK-END AND MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! |
Last Tennis Pictures
Here are the last tennis pictures I will put you all through :lol:
The line-up today...pep talk....Amanda and her partner...AMANDA on her way home from her "LAST" match (other than Nationals)...the last college one I will see of her :( |
Saturday morning
:wave:Good Morning CEers!!!!:wave: Thanks :thanks: for all your thoughts and prayers and emails. Ya'll continue to be the best of the 3fc!!! Take your bow! Sorry, I've been so long in checking in but my life has been so busy!! :dancer: Well, my uncle died last Saturday and we had the funeral Monday. He is at peace and we are still trying to get our lives back together. We had so much company last weekend :grouphug: until they left Tuesday and Wednesday. But over all it was good for my girls to see all their cousins and aunts and uncles they haven't seen in a long time. Kaci actually saw many for the first time, since they live in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, etc.. All of this has brought our family much closer together and it is wonderful! Buster (my uncle) would be so proud. :goodvibes We've played two softballs games:coach: and won both of them!! :cheer: :cb: But our next one is Tuesday and they will be tough competition! :strong: Kaci has been catching some and really likes it, that is until it gets hot and she has to wear all the gear! :hot: But we are still practicing twice a week and will play two games this week. :halffull: Since I had to take off Monday, my visits were loaded everyday for the rest of the week. I have been leaving home between 5:30 and 6 and getting home between 6-8. Yesterday was my longest day (5:30 left - home at 8:00pm.) According to my pedometer I have been getting in most days between 5 miles and 7 miles!!!! Yeah, you read right!! I haven't even been walking on the treadmill :tread: No time! I've LOST 5.6 LBS since I wrote last. (Four last week and 1.6 this week) :cb: :cheer: flow1: :dance: I don't know how with eating all the wonderful food that was brought in at the house before and after the funeral. But I did try to make good choices and if I just had to have something I knew wasn't on plan I ate just a little. I even ate homemade cherry cheesecake, which was the best I've ever eaten. :hungry: I'm still fighting with the bronchitis and yesterday had to break down and get the DR to order me a portable nebulizer that is battery operated and has a cigarette lighterplug. I have been getting into trouble while working and have been hauling around my big one and running back to the office everytime I couldn't breathe. Anyway, my insurance will pay 80% of the nebulizer but none on the battery or cigarette plug so I had to pay ALL of that!! ($136.) But I felt like I have to have it. There's nothing like not breathing!! :faint: Kelli has her junior/senior prom tonight! She will be SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful!!! Her dress is basically black satin with hot pink trim and pleats in the skirt and a hot pink wrap. We found some beautiful jewelry to go with it and a beauitful silver butterfly with pink stones to go in her hair. I will try to send pictures!! I will try to post individually at a later time. This is the first time I've had to myself in, in..............I don't remember! :lol: EVERYONE take care and know that ya'll mean the world to me!! Thanks again for all your support and prayers!! Have a GREAT weekend!!! I'm off and I plan to do just that!! |
Sherry, so sorry about your DU, but it sounds like you had good family time. And woohoo to you!! :Bravo: on your loss. Very proud of you for making those tough and good decisions. So glad you are back, missed ya! ;)
Eric had to work too late and so we did not go out to celebrate his belated birthday and have sushi, he did call me later and we talked for awhile. Today it's raining, so no golf but i work until 6 pm... Food has been bad, had a sugar attack yesterday, going to pay for it today i'm sure. Not going to WI until next week. But today i can do better, right? Going to post some pics in awhile... |
Good morning to Mrs Smiley as I see your egg is alight as I am posting!! What time is is over in Texas? It is 15:00hrs as I start this post...Well done on your great loss! :ebike: :cp: Sorry to hear of your family bereavement. May The Lord comfort you all and bring healing like only He can...I hope too that your bronchitis attack gets better very quickly..nasty illness to have to deal with... :barf: Margie B I do hope Sara recovers from her fainting episodes..:faint:That sounds really nasty and rather dangerous to me!Good luck to her with her NH Society applications!! I expect you are on tenderhooks as well...:stress: Great news from my nephew and neice in New Zealand. They were both in the national outrigging races held in Wellington this week..both in the under 19's. Nephew aged 17 and 4 days got a GOLD!! and niece aged 13 1/2 got a SILVER!!! My brother is just SO proud of them, he is fit to bursting!! :smug: :bravo: :cp: :hyper: :lucky: :cheers: :cheer: :woo: :cloud9: :goodvibes (I like the new smilies!! ) They are a case of being in the right place at the right time and caught the eye of a scout who was out looking for the right people to train and race. Well done to them!! I have had a really busy week with the handyman being here to do a few odd jobs around the house...I am now the proud owner of a couple of shelves in my airing cupboard! I had to give the old shelves up when the gas central heating was installed 5 months ago and I really missed using the airing cupboard to put bed linen in. I hate having sheets and duvet covers hanging round the house to dry, its not such a problem in the summer when you can hang them out on the washing line...and even then you have to watch the weather!!! He has also put a light in the old shower room (that is no more!) thats being converted in to a storage space of some sort and next week he is going to lay floor tiles...then all it needs is the walls decorating and then at last I can use it as I intend!! Yipee!! The weather hasn't been so good this week.:rain:..rather cloudy although bits of sun keep peeking through :sunny: MKay :bravo: well done on your 4lb loss!!Mitchypoo :cp: well done on your loss as well!!I hope your sore throat has gone away without causing you too much grief :barf: Hellos to absolutely everyone else on this thread!! I do hope you are well and those that were sick are all better now!! :wave: :wave: Bye for now. God Bless and all take care. Love from Teel xx |
And hello to Mitchypoo! You have snuck in a post whilst I wasn't looking!!!:comp: :comp:
|
Hello Miss Teel...you snuck in too, i was trying to download some pics and then i wanted to say hello. Any resolution with the friend? Are you feeling better? Did you already go on vacation to Scotland? How was that? What is there to do in Scotland?
I wanted to show you all a pic of what our dear Mkay made for me! She is a very talented girl in the beading and jewelry department. I had a necklace made out of Raiku pottery, it is a japanese symbol for happiness (or is it love?) and i love the pendant but the cord chain it was on got all twekked, so Miss Mary Sunshine beaded it for me and some earrings to match and she did such a good job. Take a look see..http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...o/CAM_0064.jpg The other pics are some of the yarn cafe grand opening... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...o/CAM_0071.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...o/CAM_0074.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...o/CAM_0077.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...o/CAM_0078.jpg Oh, i give up, i rotated the pic of me and resized all of them to not be so big, but there you go. I can't figure it out. :mad: |
Well, it did resize and rotate, but on the preview it didn't correct????

I sure do hope that someone picks him up. I didn't really care for his voice, but obviously... others did. As for who may in this... this one is a very tough call, don'tcha think so?. If I have thought this though correctly - I believe that our gal, Carrie, has NEVER been in the bottom 3... both Bo an Vonzell have been, so I wonder if *Carrie* will be the Idol-winner :yes: If not... I think it just might be *Bo* - the first rocker to win ;) Like I said... tough call... :dunno: they are all so very talented in very different ways --- *Carrie ~ Country*, *Bo ~ Rock* & *Vonzell ~ A Natalie Cole*. *Survivor* ~ I feel that this is when it really gets ugly, don't you? There are a couple of the gals I'd like to see go... I am pulling for *Tom* (I think that's his name - the firefighter). *CSI-Vegas*... what's up with Katherine!!! Isn't she suppose to be smart!! :nono: Hi MKay, glad you are enjoying my graphic so much ;) I have FILES & FILES of them now! Great to use in making my cards as well :D Not for selling, just for the family and friends. I am seeing about a siggy for you :goodvibes patience... I'll even help you get it into your sig, okay ;) GREAT NEWS!!!! !!!!4 POUND LOST!!!! AWESOME JOB, MKay!!! :flow2: Hi Michele, Oh... okay... I am thrilled for you that you are beginning to lose again... keep it up girl!! It's so nice to hear that you and Eric are doing so well and that he is calling you and you are both having some nice times together :goodvibes May it continue :sunny: We actually reached 71* yesterday ourselves --- just Beautiful!!!! Today is cooler and it's raining, but that's okay. It gives me the time to sit here and catch up. When Joe gets home from church (he's working till 2:00) we will head out to get some shopping done. I was feeling a bit glum yesterday... part of the reason I get a bit blue too is because of *Mother's Day* I miss my mother very much and so wish we lived closer!! I sent her a Calla Lily plant yesterday through ProFlowers.com, she loved it! They have the best cut flowers and plants there!! She loves the plants... and has a greenhouse to keep them in. She isn't one for cut flowers, she wants them to last and last :df: I also find myself thinking of our DD (Lisa Anne) and how old she'd be had she lived -- she would have been 29 years old. My mom wished me a *Happy Mother's Day* also, telling me that my little angel was watching over me. It made me feel melancholy & pensive yesterday :^: Hi Azulfire, Sounds like your scrapbooking is coming along wonderfully!!! :flow1: How cool :cool: of your friend to print out those pages for you! They are sooooo expensive to buy already printed. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN about your picture :lol: I took one of me that way too --- NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!!! :rofl: I tell you what... ... we'll have to just keep those pics to "ourselves" for the time being (motivation), then once we reach our goals we'll share... deal? :lol: Hello Rachel... I have something for you... go check your PM ;) :D :sunny: Hi Margie :wave: You go girl!!!! :high: Great miles so far!!! 13.8!!! :cp: Oh I am still walking... no worries there --- I just allot to get done for my Joe that was very important... all finished now :D I see have some catching up to do!!! I have only gotten a bit more walking in since Wednesday, but not much ~ 8.25 miles ~ as of today (I write humbly) You are too funny!!! :crazy: back atcha ;) So sorry to hear about DD fainting!!! Was it because she had not eaten?!?!? Sounds like it! Hope she feels better today! How about that date??? Anything come of it? When??? I am all *EYES* :eek: waiting to read all about it ;) Awwwwe Sherry :cry: I am so very sorry to hear about your DU and his passing... :cry: You have my deepest sympathies! Congrats on the WINS in your softball games :cheer: and you have lost 5.6 pounds to boot!!! *Good Golly Miss Molly!* :high: Great Job!!! :high: Feel better soon!

Saturday Night
HI LADIES,
Just finished chinese food...that is the second time in 2 weeks for chinese! Amanda and I spent 3 hours last night and 5 hours today at a conference with NY Times Bestselling author and host of the show on PAX "Faith Under Fire" Lee Strobel. He wrothe the books The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith and The Case for A Creator...very good books. Amanda is reading the last one for her theology class, the prof. told the class if they went to this conference they could save 10 pages off their final paper! Although it was only 45 minutes from my house, it was 2 hours from their campus on a Fri. night and a Saturday 8-1...over 40 kids from her school went...there were several hundred people there altogether. Other authors and speakers included Dr. Jay Richards (The Priveleged Planet), Dr. J.P. Moreland (Body and Soul), and Dr. Jonathan Wells (Icons of Evolution)...very interesting hearing them speak "christian" from a scientific view. On the way home we picked up some new roses for Angie for Mother's Day. GRAPHIC GODDESS Love the "GARDEN". Amandais OVER the tennis issue...she is doing well, she KNOWS that she doesn't want one match she was taken out of to ruin her memories of the entire season...she had a good talk with her coach and all is well. Oh, that was AZUL waving to Brenda...my ex is in her town this week-end visiting her significant other's daughter...then both will head to see my new house...3.5 hours away on Monday....I think the confusion was on the- Brenda calling me to see how Amanda was doing at the match comment. Didn't have time for Costco today..maybe tomorrow........ouch! Mother's Day..I would have to go alone...NAH! Missed Survivor this week..can't remember why...saw who got voted off...CSI..I think Katherine was just Lonely and got caught up in the moment...Did you know that the guy is her real life husband of 15 years!! As far as American Idol...I liked Constantine better than BO...his hair is exactly like mine was from 1970-1985!! Still pulling for Carrie...won't be too sad if Vonzel wins either...I like her alot better than at first. SHERRY I hope your Kelli had a great Prom...If you ever get to see a San Diego Padres game on TV, check out the METAL SUPPLY building in the outfield...one of our local high schools is having their Prom on top of it! Way cool...cost $30,000.00 to hold it there..NO JOKE! Sorry about your uncle, glad you saw God's work in it. Keep on losing!! My step-d hit her first ever over the fence home run the other day. TEEL Great work by the kids!You must be proud. Glad to see you in better spirits!! MICHELE Nice pics! MARYK You are so talented! HAVE A HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Good Morning everyone!! Finally, some pics of the finished product.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/00670002.jpg This is where I sit and talk to you: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/00670004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/00670005.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/00670006.jpg My red wall: I love it! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...2/00670011.jpg I'm leaving for church in a few minutes so I can't stay and chat. My family is cooking shish kabobs for lunch and we're having my favorite - cheesecake for dessert. Talk to you later. |
wilma -- the cheesecake sounds so good! I love cheesecake, my dad makes the best.
Sunny -- thank you so much for the siggy! I love it! Very cute. Where do you get them made at? I had some bad bleu cheese last night at Old Chicago -- so to say the least I am not going to school today :( I got *really* sick last night and I just don't feel up to doing much of anything! Well, I gotta go. My mom's expecting me over at the house soon. Just wanted to pop in and say hi!!! |
beautiful day
Thanks for directing me over here Sunny, it's a beautiful day here in Illinois.Got up bright and early this morning for our grandaughters soccer game,two weeks ago we are bundled up in coats and today found us, looking for a breeze. Good game except in the beginning of the second half she got hit in the tummy by an on coming ball, :) was only down for a few minutes,and then kept on going, oh to be a kid again. Down 14 pounds so far, got my gazelle, love it, I could spend hours on it. Our house is finally in the finishing stages of being re-done, I never imagines it would be such a mess, would never live in the house again if it was being re-done, Got our last delivery of new furniture Friday and they delivered it to the wrong house, they looked odd carrying it down the street to me, and I probably looked even doopery standing in front of my place, saying "down here, your at the wrong house. Good thing my neighbors know me. Best run going to our daughters today for dinner, God Bless you all.

Sunday
HOPE YOU ALL HAD WONDERFUL MOTHER'S DAY'S!
Angie, Ron and I went to church. Amanda spent the night here but was up way too late studying for finals to get up...3am! Ryan...pretty much the same thing...Lara couldn't get up at her dad's house...but did come and take Angie out to lunch...Ron's mom is on the night shift so she was sleeping the day...she is taking a rain check on Mother's Day lunch...my kid's mom is still in Washington...they sent her flowers and Angie got the rose bush...I sent my mom flowers in Illinois and called her today. Angie is refusing to cook since it is Mother's Day...so we are all fending for ourselves!! Leftover chinese!! Angie, Ron and I took Reba and Rylee to the dog park after church...they had a ball!!! WILMA Angie and I LOVE the kitchen!! Bet you are so glad to be done with it. Your red wall matches Angie's red front door! Hope those boys treated you right!! RACHEL I hope you feel better...I got food poisoning at a Jack-In-The-Box when I was about 8 years old...will never forget it!! My mom and brother's and sister all had ketchup on our hamburgers, we were with my cousin's wife and kids...they had mustard only...we were all so sick...they were fine. I have been confused about your school...Saturday and Sunday classes?? In California they give us the week-end off. ;) NANCY I talked to my mom in Bloomington, Ill. today-- she said it was 70 when she woke up and in the 80's at around 10am...are you near there?Sorry to hear about the ball in the stomach on your grandaughter...my son got a "gut ball" when he was about 8...never really liked soccer after that..until he joined a men's team (really tough!) a few years ago. Great job on the weight loss. Well, Gals...My daughter has only 2 more classes!!!! one Monday for a final and one on Friday for a final then done with college!!...classes anyway..until grad school in another year...she still will be playing tennis...the Nationals are the week after school is out in Alabama. My son will have his credential...but is still student teaching for a month after he is done at the high school he is with. Well, guess I have to go get my own dinner........... ENJOY your week ladies...Prayers, Gary |
Monday...Monday...
It's that time of week again. I realize I should NOT stay away from the thread over the weekend. I'm finding myself not going on my puter at all over the weekend.
Well, my siggy finally worked. Thanks Sunny...you are a patient woman! Mrs. Smiley...So sorry about DU. And...you are so busy. I won't complain anymore that I "think" I'm busy, because to alot of you...I'm really not. I wonder if I just get overwhelmed easily. Michele...Boy oh boy, I can sure tell the weight loss...whew! You are hot! :o My weekend was very laid back and pleasant. Hung out with the girls and their sig others yesterday and ended up at my DM and DF's house to watch some golf. I could actually get interested in watching that, and for a person who does not do sports...that's not too bad. EZ...I'm glad Amanda talked with her coach and believe me if you don't find something to do with all that free time, Angie will find it for you! :lol: Sunny...Isn't our weather wonderful these past couple of days? I think our spring/summer is well on its way...finally. Wilma...will you come and clean my kitchen? Wow...great pics and you are a tidy queen! I love the red wall and the openess of the kitchen to the red-wall room. The wood floor is awesome...I'd rather have that than my tile (DH wanted it more than me...but that's ok too). Well, gotta get some work done...I've been online for quite awhile this morning already. By the way...I've been chatting with you wonderful folks for 1 year now. Happy Anniversary to me & you! :flow2: :thanks: :cheers: :comp: :balloons: :grouphug: :flow1: :dance: :cp: :bravo: |
Hi all!
Well aren't we all spoiled by our dear Sunny! Love all the cute siggy's. What would our dear Gary's sig look like? Have a hot wife on it, 2 big doggies, kids all over the place, sports-minded, a cook....he's too diverse, i can't picture what it'd look like! I called my mom Sunday a.m. while she was in Las Vegas and she ACTUALLY answered it!! She was about to get on a bus to go to a show with her co-workers, there was 184 people there from all over Canada and the U.S. She had a fabulous time. She seemed to like her Urban Legends mohair scarf i made her (dang, i forgot to take a pic). She made it home safely and I get to see her at the end of the month. I made my cousin her wedding bag, have to get that in the mail to her, and I also am now knitting belts. I may post a pic pretty soon of the first one I made and i'm wearing it today. I really like it. Wow, you guys are so sweet. I haven't been called hot in a long time... :dizzy: |
