Hello everyone 
Angie~we did think about that but watching the neighbors do their fence that way we decided against it. They have a much smaller yard and still don't have their fence up, going on 3 or 4 weeks now. She would stain about 5 pickets, let them dry and he would put them up, do a few more, put them up, etc. Just too time consuming and V had the day off and wanted to feel like something was accomplished. So...I stacked two rows of about 30 pickets and stained the sides and the top and bottom. As fast as I was staining he was getting the pickets up, well as soon as they dried. Staining the outside was a breeze, again time consuming but pretty easy.
Susan~aahh, I knew it was a matter of time before Mike messed up. Seemed like he was getting stressed from everything. And the ex getting a restraining order, definitely helps your case. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes your way.
Glad to hear Rachel and Rebecca are fine, as well as Gaby. She is such a sweetheart. I can picture her consoling her half-sister.
Sue~like Angie said, and it has happened to me. When I am not looking for something I see all kinds of things and when I actually go looking seems I don't find anything. Haven't been to Kohl's in a while, love that store! Need to go to Pier 1 and find a centerpiece my my dining room table. Thinking about an arrangement of different size candles.
Anita~you are going to have so much fun with Joycelyn, and running all over the place! Glad hubby apologized to you.
Mindee~good to see ya! Well, maybe it wasn't meant for you guys to find out the sex of the baby.
Have you guys gotten settled in at your moms?
Marti~where we lived before we could hear the electrical boxes sound like they were exploding, and the electricity would go out for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. It was usually in the summertime when it was really hot and everyone was running their air conditioners. It's gone out here about 3 times, the electric and cable. Mainly because they are still building and working on new homes in the area and messing with things. Have fun at the choir program. Can't believe Jhanai in still in school. How late/early do they start in OR? They start here the end of August and got out a couple of weeks ago. Seems early to me, oh well.
Jane~I have always gotten blond highlights from being outdoors. Have to say the grey doesn't bother me either. DD says "I don't know why you cover it because it's not that noticeable." I don't actually cover/color it often, maybe once or twice a year. It's pretty close to my natural color so when the roots grow out it doesn't really matter, and I do it to liven it up. My hair is kind of dull. I need to get a haircut and have gone once but would've had to wait an hour. Took it as a sign I didn't need a haircut!
That was about 6 months ago. Maybe I will try again one day. Have a nice lunch with your niece today.
Well, tomorrow is WI. Went from weighing in once a month back to once a week. I'll be happy if there is a loss but if not, I am fine with that also. As long as I don't gain any it is fine with me.
Who was it that wanted our hot weather we are having? Well, you can have it! Supposed to be only 90 today but that is still too HOT! We had some horrible storms overnight and even some tornadoes NW of us. And flooding! Hoping to get something done this evening when V gets home before it starts again. We are supposed to have this awful weather for the next three days. Anyway, not much on the agenda for today. Had a couple of errands to run this morning. Was going to go to the bookstore and get a book but will do that tomorrow when DD is home. I have been reading this book which is a part two sort of. You don't really have to read the first one to read the second one but for once I started with the first one. And there is a #3 in which she finally gets married which just came out June 5th. Anyway, guess I should be going. Need to order a couple of things online for V for Father's Day to make sure it gets here in time. He showed me some shirts w/o a collar that he would like for work and a couple other things. So thought I would surprise him and get them for him. Not sure what else I will get.
Take care ladies and have a wonderful Thursday!
to you!
