I thought about Saundra too. I hope all is well.

I feel SO decadent. I'm sitting here as they clean my windows around me. I should be burning the calories myself but it is just one job I hate and one that I'm not good at. I'd rather clean toilets.

Sandra, Jim and I are joined at the hip too. I didn't get married until late in life so I really want to be with my partner. Jim and I feel the same way about Doctor's visits. We are SO sick of them. But, in Jim's case, it was a good thinkg that we are so vigilant. If not, maybe we wouldn't have caught the cancer in time.

Ohhhh....I'm SO hungry. I didn't have a snack because I knew the guys were coming and I'm starving for dinner. This is not a good thing. I have no idea what we are eating either. That salad didn't go too far, even with the chicken in it. I've already had 8 glasses of water and a bunch of coffee. I guess I'll just have to be patient. It shouldn't take them more than about an hour. They are so fast and efficient.

vickie, there's nothing wrong with feeling decadent. i am glad you and jim are so good about going for checkups. curtis and i are, too. his bp is up so he's starting to take meds. he's having some nosebleeds. i hope they're due to dry air and not the bp. i'm hungry now, too. i'm thinking shrimp for dinner and maybe an eggroll. hmmmmmm? that sounds good.

i need to go post today's menu then start dinner. have a good evening, all.

Just a few minutes to go until it starts. I've got Mavericks vs. Suns tonight too so I'll be doing quite a bit of flipping back and forth.

I check occasionally on some of our "lost" members just to make sure they're okay. You can look at anyone's profile and it'll give the last time they were on. Anyway, Saundra still logs on, I guess to read but she might not have had anything to say. Hopefully everything's going okay.

Okay, ugh. I was making spaghetti and meatballs tonight and don't have any sauce. Looks like a trip to the store ...

Hey, who was the "Live" band that Chris was singing with? I can't find anything about them. I liked the song.

Kathy, you have better things to do than going to the store.

Vickie, you enjoy life and I think it's great! You really seem to appreciate all that you have. Aaron and I are joined at the hip too.

Sandra, you wild woman, what are you up to today? Your dinner idea sounds really good...

Saundra, come back to us!

Angela, I'm glad that you were able to pick up some material for a dress. It's so wonderful to have the talent to make what you need!

Niki, I meant to say something about 24. Could you believe that ending?!?

Frouf, I'm sorry that you didn't get good sleep last night either. DD sure is gutsy, knocking on your door at 1am!!

Well I managed to avoid too much emotional eating today. I did break down and have a handful of cheetos and a coke. But that's not too bad.

Off for more AI and a slim a bear...

I guess there will be a recap -- I didn't know who they were either but it was good.

That awards thing kind of got on my nerves. How long is this episode? Two hours? They really know how to milk this for all its worth, don't they?

Two hours. I can see bringing back some of the top 12 just to get viewers excited about the summer tour, but lots of this hokey stuff is unnecessary. In my opinion, that is.

I tell you what though, that Carrie can sing. She's really good, I'm glad she won last year.

Is Toni Braxton weird, or is it just me? She was trying to get a piece of Taylor, there wearing her nighty. I don't think his dad was amused a bit.



AND OH MY WORD!!! CLAY!!!

Um, was it just me, or did he look a little bit...girly?? I didn't know who he was at first.

Did you see I made a very unrealistic goal for DH's HS reunion? I'm shopping online for a cute "goal" dress.

Yes, I must say he did. I looked and looked and looked, and still it was a while before I figured it out. And I'm a BIG Clay fan but I haven't seen him in a while. They make fun of me because I probably have everything he's ever sang!

I don't think that's unrealistic for a goal. How many weeks is it?

I must admit I wanted Clay to win that season instead of Ruben. That was the first season I really watched, and I just saw the end.

8 weeks, I was aiming high for 2 pounds/week. I really want to feel better about myself, and that's what this boils down to, you know? I know you understand what I mean.
I don't know if Aaron even wants to go to his reunion, but just in case! Plus I really want to think about baby-making this summer and I want to be down to at least that point before then.

I totally agree. You can do it if you stick with it and while I'm a bad one to give out advice (need to take some of it myself) I think you can do it.

Kelly Clarkson is from here so I watched from Season 1 because it was all over the radio. Of course, after that I was hooked so I saw Season 2 thru its entirety and was glad when Clay was brought back as a wildcard, which I didn't understand and haven't seen yet, but oh well. I voted for him nonstop every week and on the final week, I NEVER got in. NEVER. My cousin works for a company in south Texas whose home office is in Birmingham, and they were all sent emails to watch and vote for Ruben, even if they'd never seen the show and didn't know Ruben from a squirrel on the street. I was really ticked when Clay didn't win but glad that he's gone on and done well.

Thanks Kathy!!

Well DH just got home so I'm going to spend some time chatting with him. I'm sure Taylor is going to win tonight. Have a good one!
