Hi Angie we posted at the same time. Yes, that Charlie is terrible. I am watching the news and just heard a child was killed. How sad.
I hate humidity too. Yuck.
Your doggies sound so funny. Those little stinkers. They keep you going.

Well phone is ringing and I have stuff to do, so I will check in this weekend and tonight if I get a chance. Angie you will have to tell us about you trip.
Hi Noelle, Cal, Summer, Holly and Kempy! I hope we see post this weekend too Angie. Julie

Angie I would love my dd's metabolism. She eats tons and only weighs 28lbs. I think she eats and poops it out a couple hours later !

Sorry if that was tmi, for anyone . hahahaha

Hey if it was only that easy to lose weight!!!!! hahaha

We're finally getting some cooler weather. Tomorrow it's supposed to be only 99 degrees. I know, I know ONLY?? 99 degrees. The wind is blowing really hard right now. The sun screens are just rattling.

Noelle: It's funny that Michael wants a poodle. Last year for Christmas, Ashley asked Santa for a black poodle. She still wants one. Everytime she sees a poodle (especially a black one) she goes crazy. Keep me posted about where you will be staying in California. We are going to go to meet you. I'm looking forward to it.

Kempy: Enjoy your vacation. Is it this weekend that you leave? Enjoy.

Angie: Enjoy your weekend trip.

Julie: Have a great weekend.

Summer: Hope things are going well for you.

Hope to see some posts this weekend.

Cal

Hi girls I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Cal I am glad your cool down is there for you! A nice breeze always helps too. I love poodles. I heard the standard big size poodle is just a gentle giant. But she probally wants a small one huh?

Today I am on a cleaning frenzy. The kids are gone right now with dh so I want to get as much done as possible.

Angie hope the storms are better by you. Did you take your road trip today? I hope it was relaxing and fun for you if you did.

Kempy I hope it is going to be nice for your trip next weekend. Boy its something how strong those storms can be.

Noelle are you missing Rick? Oopps....I almost called him Ricky ! God I can't type today. Probally because I am in hurry mode. Are you having any HI feast this weekend? How are those purple potatoes anyway? Because I love sweet potatoes soooo much.

Hi Summer and Holly, I gotta run and get this darn work done, I want this place spotless. I am sick of dust ! Julie

Hey girls, just checking in tonight. Man work was a little crazy yesterday. I alotted extra time on each job and we were still running behind schedule. It was driving me nuts! If there's one thing I hate is being late. We did have a customer call in the late afternoon to say how impressed they were with the service we offered--including the appointment scheduling (me) and the way the technician handled the job. So that lifted my spirits a lot at the end of the day.

I took Michael to see the Yu-Gi-Oh movie today and got into the buttered popcorn . Then we had for lunch I feel a little bloated right now, but it sure tasted good.

Julie, no I don't miss Rick yet (funny, his whole side of the family calls him Ricky ) and I can talk to him on the 2-way radio on our mobile phone. He works so much on Saturday it's kinda like any other weekend . I love that I can sleep through the night too, without someone waking me up with their loud snoring! I have to pick him up from the airport tomorrow morning, I guess.... I'm so terrible You like the purple sweet potatoes? They're called Okinawan sweet potatoes. They don't cost too much here since you can usually get them about 3-4 to a bag for a few dollars. My favorite way to eat them is just to boil them until tender, then slice 'em open. Of course, the Japanese okazuyas fry them up tempura style

Cal, I will PM you with my info as soon as I have all my plans in order. I'm sure the date will come flying before we know it. Can't wait!! I'd love a black poodle rather than a white one. Michael was so in love with Rosie when she was here. He drew a picture of her on one of his assignments which said to draw something that was a special gift from God. I guess she made quite an impression on him. I'm sure he and Ashley will get along fine. I'd love a standard poodle too--my sis would probably freak out if I actually brought one home. (She's a poodle groomer and sees them all day, day in and day out )

Angie, if only it were that easy to lose weight I'd be about 10 lbs lighter right now. (Haven't been getting much vegetables and fiber lately)--i know, i know, TMI for sure! Don't you just love it that friends can tell friends anything

Kempy, Summer, Holly and everyone else, stay safe out there and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

I sent you guys pics of Sebago Lake so if you get an email from me dont be surprised. We had a nice day with no kids. The dogs were great. The weather was awesome. I am so glad that I was in air conditioning all day. haha

I have to go to Walmart in a bit to get the rest of the paper supplies for the kids school shopping and I have to go grocery shopping. I am gonna try to diet again tomorrow. Cant give up I guess. One of these times I will get excited to do it and stick with it again.

Mickey slept through the night last night yeaH!!!! I usually get up with him in the middle of the night when Jay leaves so he can do his stuff. Maybe now I can sleep right through.

It is nice and cool today. It feels like Fall. I love Fall(except that it means winter is coming) If I could find a place with Fall weather all the time I would be in heaven.

Well, I just wanted to make sure I checked in thios weekend. Love ya!!!!

Angie those pics are awesome. The water is soooo blue and pretty. I am glad you had a nice time. Isn't that funny dogs are like babies, they take a while to sleep through the night too!! I want to start fresh tomorrow too. I did really bad at supper tonight, we grilled out and made homemade bacon cheeseburgers with grilled onions, I had two of them, they tasted so darn good. I with you, I do not winter to come at all this year, I got the blues so so so so bad. Maybe I can talk hus into a vacation to Florida where his aunt lives. Just maybe !!

Hi everyone probally will talk to ya all tomorrow. Julie

Good morning ladies! Sorry I have been MIA for so long. I have not stayed OP, but, need to get there again. This morning I am feeling kind of sick from the pizza I ate last night, so, maybe that will motivate me to eat yogurt or something better for me for breakfeast.

How is everyone?

Yesterday my dh and I were outside looking for the last rebar on our property line and I managed to injure myself. I didn't see the broken down barbed wire fence along the NW side of our property, tripped over it, and fell right onto an old rusted out farmer's plow. My dh drove me to the ER because he thought my leg was broken, but, I ended up getting a tetanus shot and vicodin for pain. Luckily it's only a contusion and abrasion. So, I guess exercise is out for at least a few days, so, I better be careful what I eat!!

I hear my kiddies, better get breakfeast before they get grumpy, lol.

I'll try to check in later!

Holly

Holly, OUCH!! Get better soon girl.

Julie,You guys should try to come down to Florida while we are there. We can all hang out together. That would be fun.

Noelle, Are ya glad to have Rick home? Snoring and all.

Kempy, How was your weekend? Fun I hope.

Cal, 99 degrees huh? I couldnt handle it. haha I am a wimp

Well, I will check back later. I am making spaghetti for supper tonight so I need to get it in the crockpot

Good Morning Girls

Angie when are you going? I forgot. That would be great. You working hard today?

Holly take care of yourself, well try to the best you can with all the kids .

Kempy Hello. Counting down by the minute now I bet, huh?

Noelle, my eating was totally bad this weekend. Actually I have never tried the purple potatoes, do they taste like orange ones? I hate it when hus keeps me up with all of his snoring too!

Sorry so short, check back later. Julie

Hi Cal, still have your "cool" down yet? Have a great day. Julie

We are leaving here on December 18 and we will get to Kissimmee on December 19 in the evening.
