Hello ladies...

Had a busy morning and have been up since 4:30, yikes! Was watching a stupid movie this morning and couldn't go back to sleep so finally just got up. Went out and mowed the front yard and cleaned it (did the back yesterday) before it got too hot. Supposed to be 96 today and 100 tomorrow, ick! Then went grocery shopping. Since I went so late thought I would go to the local grocery store rather than head to Wal-Mart. Don't like going there unless I get there early.

MICHELLE...hope you are having a good day.

MARTI...you and James are going to have a fabulous time in San Fran, especially during the fourth of July! Wow, bet they are going to have all kinds of stuff going on then. Your avatar is sooo cute!

ALEX...sounds like you have the best boss ever! Hope you find the perfect house for you and the boys! WTG on the 2 pounds!

ROBIN...would love to see a picture of your pergola! We have a kind of long patio but we are just putting the pergola on the very end where we have a swing...wanting shade and privacy. And yes...why spend money when you can do it yourself and save loads! And you too have a WONDERFUL weekend of camping!

SUE...keeping my fingers crossed for you And I'll keep my fingers crossed for a quick sale too!

JANE...tried several pictures for an avatar and needing to get a head shot for sure. So put Ernie dog and I am not sure why it is so small because I didn't resize it.

Hi to everyone else!

I've got the rest of the day to do nothing, well, gotta pick V up at 3 but then nothing else to do. Hoping to get some reading done and a nap!

Take care ladies and have a wonderful day!

Hi ladies,
Just popping in to say I'll be MIA tomorrow. I've got to get my weekend cleaning done, then go grocery shopping that I didn't do today. Mackenzie the 7 y/o will be here all day, so that should be fun. Then, tomorrow evening, Mary and Katie are having a "spa" party, and we're watching Caylin while that goes on.

Have a good Friday, and I'll chat with you Saturday.

Good evening

I am Home Alone. Wonder if I can get into some trouble?
Nah, I will be good.

The meeting with the realtor went well and we now have a sign in the yard and a lock box on the door. Don't know how soon we can expect any activity, but we are ready. DH just realized today that we will have to keep things picked up and be ready for showings at all times. LOL. I also told him there are "things" on his table and on his dresser that have to go as they look too cluttered. I am going to thin out my family photos also. I have 2 different tables with photos on top and 2 walls of pictures in the house. So...that is the only things we really need to do. The realtor said the house looks great and she didn't even mention the things that I thought were clutter.

New house news: 1/2 of roof is shingled and we meet with the electrician Sat.

Thanks Angie for the crossed fingers. Good luck with your interviews. It sounds like you might have your pick of jobs before long.

Marti- Hope your "crampy self" feels better. The new house is 3 BR/2 and 1/2 baths/great room, kitchen,dining area all open/utility room/and of course, DH's workshop. The house is 1700 sq. ft. Our old house is over 2000 sq. feet and we have 4 BR/2baths/formal dining room/formal living room/utility/breakfast room/huge family room and a screened in back porch. The formal living room is sunken and we converted it to a pool room when we built on the family room. Just too darn much house to clean..too many rooms. And the yard is 3 times as big as the new place., so DH is looking forward to less mowing. (more playing in his workshop) We just hope the buyers want to keep the pool table...we don't have room for it.

Robin- Have a good time camping. Will you be fishing also? What do you hunt? I have never hunted, but come from a family of hunters. Dad taught me to shoot and I did help him clear out some varmits once.

Shel- I would say, by your discription, you not only deserve a new car...you need one.

Jane- Loved the cool breeze today. We didn't have the high humidity either. It was great. I do love the 70's though. My son keeps telling me about the 70's in San Diego. They say it is perfect weather there. Only about 20 or so days a year without sunshine. He says it is never very hot.

Alex- Your boss and the job sound super! Hope you find a house soon. Hey, I have a 4 BR house for sale. Want to be a Hoosier?

Cristina- Thanks for the crossed fingers too. Hope your DS gets a car soon so you won't have to run after V. Wow...on the mowing! Too hot for me at your house. I have never done much yard stuff here due to us having no shade. I am so fair and never did the sun thing much. Now with the trees at the new house I think I will be able to get in the yard more. Of course the Dr. tells me not to go out AT ALL without sunscreen due to the melanoma, so I am being careful.

I think I missed if anyone weighed this week...I didn't lose anymore, so I guess I was trying to NOT mention it.
