Happy Friday Girls

Sorry I did not post yesterday, well actually I did make a big long one and my computer ate it! I did not have time to post another one, sorry .

Noelle that is so funny, a fling job, never thought about that just kidding. Glad Michael is tucking in his shirt and loving school. It must be a big relief that he is doing so well. I don't have any set plans for this weekend. TOM is coming over Sunday. Yuck, oh well take the Midol and stop my complaining!!

Angie I was thinking of how big your heart is to care so much for all the animals you do. Think about all the good things that you do. You are a good mom, wife, dil, and person . About the diet, maybe just take baby steps and don't think of a "diet", more about being healthy and feeling good. Maybe just set one goal per week, month, or whatever works for ya. I know it is a difficult road but I believe in you. Don't work to hard this weekend.

Cal, I hope your allergies feel better, I think I have the year round kind ! You must be so very proud of Ashley, isn't it amazing how fast they grow .

Hi Kempy, hope you have a great weekend.

Summer great job on working up a sweat with the tennis! I have not played since I was little, but I enjoyed it then. We use to live across the street from a tennis court and playing at night was so fun. I hope you get to relax from work this weekend.

Hi everyone, gotta put grocercies away. And Wal-Mart stuff. Check in later. My brothers b-day is coming up. Cake, cake, cake, cake!!!! Yikes!!
Julie

Noelle: I tried that website you gave me and I like it.

I'm not sure if I can post pics directly to this site, but I can give the url and you gals can look them up. I think this will also work for my hubbie's relatives in Italy. Let's give this a try. http://photobucket.com/albums/v429/calnative/

I've only posted a few pics from our trip. Hope you can bring them up and look at them.

Cal

THose pics were great - I love Crater Lake and the Phantom SHip photo and you and Ashley look like you enjoyed - both of you have the same smile! Thank you for sharing - it is nice to see your travels and put a name and a face together. Thanks Cal!

Summer

Hey guys. I was out of town over the weekend so I couldn't post anything. We had a state convention to go to for Duck's Unlimited. It was a pretty good time but I need to get some rest. You know how it is when you aren't at home, you can't really sleep as well. Plus, we had 6 people in one hotel room. It was fun but I am glad to be home.

Today is our 7th anniversary and I think we are going to go eat sushi tonight. I told Joe I didn't really want to do anything b/c we are going to be on vacation in about 2 weeks.

Cal I love the pics. It looks like it was still pretty chilly up there. You guess are wearing jackets in some on the pics. When does school start back?

Angie I hate to hear that your dog was left on the side of the road somewhere. I think it is great that you are able to help so many animals have a great life. Is he still doing ok with everyone? When do your kidos go back to school? I bet you are ready, huh?

Noelle I am glad to hear that Michael is doing better. Before to long he is going to love going to school. I remember those days. Once I hit JHigh though it was all over with. You couldn't push me out of the bed.

Julie how are things going with you girl?

Summer you are one busy chick. I wish I had your energy. I can't seem to get myself moving latly. Joe and I keep talking about starting to go walking or something but we are both so tired when we get home it never happens.

I'll check in later.

Everyone seems to be very busy now enjoying the last few days of summer vacation. I know I am.
Kempy: I know what you mean about being tired after working all day. I would love to start walking, but right now it's way too hot. Teachers went back to school today and the kiddos, at my school, come back on Thursday, August 5. Many of the other schools around here start back on August 9. It's so hot to go back to school right now. I really believe that school should go until the end of June and start back the first of September; that's just pushing it up one month or so. The end of June is hot, but nothing like July and August. September is hot also, but it does start to cool down. For energy conservation one would think that the powers that be would think of something like that to save on electricity costs.
Hope everyone has had a nice restfull and relaxing weekend. I look forward to reading some more posts soon.

Cal

Hey ladies, Happy(?) Monday...more like CRAZY Monday. It's almost quitting time and it can't come soon enough. We had an OK weekend, hit the Farm Fair yesterday and it was HOT! and dusty but there was a breeze blowing so it wasn't too bad. Had some friends over for a BBQ in the evening and no one got too drunk or acted overly obnoxious so it was a pretty boring evening .

Cal, I'm glad you found photobucket useful. I've signed up but haven't downloaded anything onto it yet. Thanks for sharing the pics, I'd love to visit Alaska one day. You guys must've had a blast. I saw you added more pics since the weekend...you're so lucky to be able to travel w/family and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It's cooling off down here since we've had some rain from that tropical depression Darby, I'm just TOO LAZY to walk

Kempy, HAPPY 7TH ANNIVERSARY!!!! Have you got the 'itch' yet? Just kidding. Wishing you many more happy years together. Mmm, enjoy the sushi.

Wishing everyone else a great evening....

Hey guys, what happened to everybody else yesterday?

Cal when I was in school the office controlled the AC and they wouldn't turn it on until around 10AM. Do you know how aweful it was to be in class with no AC and it is 100% humidity outside? We used to make up reasons to go to the office to get into some AC. You know that it was on in there. That was one way that they would save money during the summer. But, we had to suffer in the process. I have had teachers that would bring fans and only put them on themselves. HELLO, we were hot too. Those where the ones that nobody liked.

Noelle there was some drinking going on with our group this weekend too. I mean it was free drinks each night so we had to partake. How is the new girl going? Still doing ok or is her personal life getting out of hand.

Angie where are you girl? This isn't like you to not be here at least once a day. Are you turning into me?

Julie come out come out where ever you are!

I am working on some DU stuff today. Big man doesn't know it though. hehe OUr golf tournament is Sept 9th so we have to get all of our auction items ordered and programs made. All of the usual fun stuff. It is easier this year since we know what to do.

Hi girls

I have been in lurking mode and totally busy mode. TOM came on Sunday so just between cramps and not feeling good, being busy with going to a kids fair last Saturday, having to run errands, going out to lunch-dairy queen (not a good choice), and of course the kids. I swear somedays I know it would be easier to work out of the house, I would miss them to much. Sorry I have not posted, just trying to get over the cramps and mood. Btw I have not weighed myself in over a month! I have no idea what it will read. But anyway how is everyone?

Angie I hope you get time to post soon too, I bet you are really busy with the new puppy.

Kempy glad you had a fun weekend. I would love to get away. I have been begging my husband to book us a weekend trip to Las Vegas. You can always find deals there. He is not liking the idea though. We have not been on a vacation in SEVEN years!! Oh, almost forgot Happy Anniversary!! I hope Joe did something special for ya.

Cal great pics. Ashley is a cutie!!

Summer I agree with everyone else, where are you getting all of your energy? It sounds like you have been really great at excercising lately. I wish I could get some motivation up.

Hi Noelle and everyone else. Whats for dinner tonight everyone? I feel like a big bucket of KFC with all the fixings ! I love their biscuits. Well better get going. Check back later. Julie

Julie I went home sick yesterday so we didn't do anything special for the big 7th. We are going to dinner tonight I think. I told him that I dont' want anything for it b/c we are going to FL in 2 weeks. I would much rather save out money for that and have a good time there. I love Las Vegas. We can't wait to go back. Maybe you can talk him into going somewhere a little closer and then spring Vegas on him. That way you can get him out of the house and he can see what a good time he has. I think he will be hooked once you do that. I know Joe and I need our vacations or we get pissy. hehe

Hi ladies!

I don't think there is enough coffee in the world today!

I exercise to get the energy, to fight off depression, to battle being sick and not be bored. I spoke with a friend who is a certifed personal trainer (and easy on the eyes to boot ) and asked if one is eating right for them what exercise is required for weight loss? He said depending on the gender and body but anywhere between 270-300 minutes a week so that is what I shoot for. Pure and simple. I was tired of being sick and tired. So I got of my @ss and moved. Don't always like it but I like the way I feel afterwards. As for the weekend I helped a friend move for the 3rd time in 3 years and she is pregnant with her third...I threatened to make her sign a waiver that the next time she has to move it will not be when she is having another kid.

Kempy on your 7th Anniversary! I hope the food was great and that you are feeling better!

Angie how is the puppers? family? moving possibilities? The longer you don't post the more questions I will have.

Noelle how is the new girl? doing better personally? Fenway Tennis balls, bones, rubber toys...he has a bit of an oral fetish- I think if he were a human he'd be a smoker for sure! Of course if he has a ball and you have a ball - he would want yours too! Sometimes that is how I feel about drinks.

Julie feel better!

Cal stay hydrated! and thanks again for sharing those pics they were amazing! Best of luck :luck: on your first day of school.

I gotta go...Crazy Monday has morphed in to Manic Tuesday...

Hey girls just stuffed myself at supper, bratwaurst patties, french fries and a sweet potatoe and corn!!!! I did not eat to much today so maybe thats why I was hungry?

Angie I am starting to get worried about ya. I hope your okay? This is the longest period w/o any posting from ya except when you were on vacation. I hope your just busy with the puppy or getting the kids ready for school to start or computer isn't working. Not that I want your computer to have probs. just concerned about ya. If you are feeling down pm me, or post we are here for ya , love ya hon!

Summer I like your attitude girl!! You are a go getter all the way....I wish I had a cute personal trainer to talk to . I notice to that when I am depressed or down in the dumps I feel better after some cardio. Thanks for your concern, the cramps are letting up a bit.

Kempy, hope you are feeling better and have a nice dinner tonight. I have also been married for seven long long years .

Noelle how is the new girl? Driving ya batty? It is hard to work sometimes with people like that. I hope everything in going okay. Aloha!!

check in later....come on people lets get this party started

I am probally the only one who watches the show Who Wants to Marry My Dad....if anyone saw it do you think he and the daughters made the right choice? I don't. Julie

I have never seen the sow Julie. Sorry. I am kind of sick of reality shows though.

I really don't want to be here today. I am VERY *****y right now and it would probably be really good for people if I wasn't here. But, I guess I have to stay.

Summer it is nice to have a cute PT. I wouldn't know around here though. Ours is not very good looking plus I don't really like him. I have to work with him in a different way though. He is really nice to our clients but he is a little strange around us.

Ok, what in the **** is going on with Noelle and Angie? I miss you guys. Just come on and say hi, PPPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!

Hi girls,

Kempy hope your mood gets a little better. Maybe when you leave work you will feel better. Just think of your vacation !!!!

Not to much going on with me. I am starving all ready!! Yuck....and don't you hate it when you don't know what to eat? Not to much to say right now. Gosh I wonder to where Angie is? Well I will check back later. I guess bye Kemp, if you don't check in today or until Monday . This place feels lonely lately. Bye

Julie I am keeping my fingers crossed about checking I this weekend. Joe isn't going to be home much so I can post a few times. I only have 11 days of school left. I can't believe that it is almost over. I swear I never thought it would end. Now I can't imagine what I am going to do with myself on the days that I am not in school anymore. I think sleep is my #1 right now though. \

I hope to see some more posts soon.
