sassy~ it is good to hear from you! I would definitely complain to the office manager if your car got some crud on it.
Hi Mindee
Yes I I plan too. Like I said to DH, "We did not spend all that money on our car and his BRAND NEW motorcycle for them to get crap all over it!" Plus pay rent here for them to do that sort of thing!!! I know things happen, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt, but I am definitely bringing it to their attention! I have also been thinking about checking into car covers. I know they can be a pain but it may be worth it, at least to put on here at home!!!! DH already has a cover for his motorcycle, he just has to remember to put it on!!! lol.
Good Morning -
Just a quckie. I have been recruited to bleach streaks in Rachel's hair this morning. We stayed up until 2am watching Bridezilla, is that how you spell it?? This one couple spent $250,000 on their wedding and the cake was this orange blob with seashells on it, and it wasn't even very big. I could have eaten the cake all by myself. lol
Nice to see you here Sassy!

Welcome Wildthing! Great on your 5 miles a day. I will attempt to answer your question. Personally for me it is a challenge just to do any type of execise so the challenge is mainly for me to do something ((exercise))every day. I set my summer miles at 300, figure a 100 a month was doable. Anyone can join by making a ticker and keeping track of their miles walked. Some use pedometers to measure there steps/ miles. I just measure w/ my car. lol
Anyway - I hope someone jumps in and answers more indepth for you. You are welcome to join us, we would love to hear more about you!
things have been chaotic here since early this morning, and well, in all honesty, I don't see them getting any easier any time soon! but enough about that, I stepped on the scale this morning and I am back down to 230.8 so that was a nice thing to see! now, if I can just get out of the 230's and into the 220's that would be even better!
HELLO WILDTHING! Ditto what Susan said...and feel free to join us! WTG on the 5 miles!
FRANCIE...I forgot, duh! I remember when people would ask me about Josh coming home. Of course they never gave them the "real" date because of security reasons they changed it every other day. I will pm you because I am dying to know your good news! Did you show us what you were buying? I remember the dress but you changed your mind on that didn't you? I love those kind of shoes too! Hey, you can wear them when Fonzo isn't home and you go out.
SUSAN...the book is The Doctor's Wife by Elizabeth Brundage. It is actually good so that's not the reason I can't seem to finish it...I am dying to. Just couldn't get any reading done when Cambrie & Chase were over and they kid of threw me off my little routine. How did R's hair turn out? Bet it looks nice! Well, I didn't find anything at the Dollar store. Funny though, I saw the Barbie car I bought at Target for a few cents more, lol. Isn't the dollar store supposed to be cheaper? I did find a Dora checkers game for $2, lol. It will stay here though...trying to get some things for them to do while they are here.
MINDEE...well at least you guys got a few minutes in the pool! Hoping they fix the floor for you guys. Couldn't imagine they would want a lawsuit on their hands but who knows.
SASSY...you are going to have to send me the name of the place and how to find it...didn't get an e-mail and have no clue where to look for the group. Sorry to hear about your car and hubby's motorcycle...that totally sux! Maybe it will wash off
JULES...how's our favorite grandma? Hoping all is well with you.
KATY...how was/is VBS? It just last a week, right? Bet you guys had a fun time!
SUE...thinking of you today! Hoping all is well with you.
HIYA CLARA & TAMMY...did you ladies get lost? Are we going to have to come find ya?
I am glad it is Friday! Why? I have no idea, lol. Just always seems so good...the end of the week that is. Had lots of errands to run this morning and I overslept. Feeling sleepy and I think it is because of the weather...the rain always makes me sleepy. It's not raining now, but we had quite the storm early this morning. I did not want to get up. Had planned a walk at 6 but it was raining so went back to sleep and never did get any exercise in. Decided to just take my free day today. If I don't have anything done by noon I don't feel like doing it so...
Take care ladies and I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
MINDEE...WTG on the 230! And you are doing an awesome job with your walking!
I made my 100 miles for the month thank goodness and even have a few days of the month left so doing good.
Not so good with the weightloss. Just have been eating like a pig lately...craving choc/sweets lately and I need to quit giving into the cravings...never going to lost weight. I guess I can live with that for a little while as long as I don't gain. But darn it...I want to be a loser!
Have a GREAT day and sorry things are so chaotic for ya...hoping it will settle down soon for ya.
Mindee & Cristina on the 100 mile mark!! I am impressed and inspired....(and totally pissed and totally jealous - lol - jk). I am ok with my 40 something, right?? At least I am doing something, right?? We have to think positive....
The hair turned out like a botch job. lol I mean she made me so nervous with her demanding questions like "it's going to look good isn't it??" *sigh.........I don't know, I never had done it before. It looks ok, I guess.....kind of a 2 tone light brown/ blonde thing happening on her head. lol She seems happy and now she is thinking of something else for me to do.
Mindee - Congrats on the 230!! hope it calms down for you!
Francie - busy little bee aren't you?? lol Hope you are having a super day!
Cristina - I have to run to the store for groceries, Gab would only go if I promised a toy. I said no so she is stuck watching a dvd. We got Little Miss Sunshine and Knocked Up too so I will watch those tonight. What is The Doctors Wife about??
k- I am STARVING. I only had breakfast. I was up all night using the bathroom, celery must have a lot of water in it?? I drank a big glass of water too last night late. anyway..........have to get back off my butt and get busy!
Thanks guys. I wanted so bad to go back to bed because I had to wake up a six. But The skinny person inside of me reminded me how unhappy I am. So I hopped up and got to it. It paid off. I have lost 3 pounds since Sunday. YAY!! Tomarrow will be the hardest. I am having a bible study with some girls tonight then we are gonna paint our nails and watch movies. I wont go to bed until late and I am supposed to get 7 hours of sleep a night. I will have to wake up real early to go walk and go back to bed. Here in Texas it is so so hot during the days. Tomarrow is my cheat day. I am have ice cream!!!
I am trying to stay awake, geez! Not sure why I am so sleepy. Almost time to start dinner so that should wake me up, just moving around. Got a few chapters in the book read.
SUSAN...I've seen the two tone colors before and like it on others but not sure I would for myself and I bet you did a fabulous job! LOVED Little Miss Sunshine...that movie had me and dd cracking up at the show. I like Knocked Up was cute too! The Doctor's Wife is a psychological thriller and not sure why it's called the Doctor's Wife when it's mostly about him, sort of. To make it short I will take this fromt he back of the book..."A fine debut, full of psychological suspense, plot twists & turns, malice disgused as religion, the taint of incest and cheating spouses" I think that covers it all, lol. Oh and murder. It actually is good. And yes...40 something miles is AWESOME! So you keep on truckin' missy! It means you are moving and that's all that matters.
WILDTHING...good to see you posting and looking forward to getting to know you. I hear ya about the weather. I am in KS and the humidity lately has been horrid, even at 6 in the morning! Going to try and get a walk in in the morning at 5:30 ish...hoping it's not raining like it was today. Have a fun 'girls night'...sounds like loads of fun for sure! And enjoy your ice cream tomorrow. WTG on the loss!
HIYA everyone else
Any special plans for the weekend?
I believe I will be exercising and reading. Sunday BD party and more reading and exercising.
Have a good evening ladies! Time to go start dinner!
Are we all tired?? I feel sleepy too today, hard to get going and with the day almost over why bother now??? haha
wildthing - Enjoy your evening! What movie's are you gals going to watch? Nice to have you here And keep up the good wrok on the walking!
Cristina - I have no special plans this weekend. GAb will go w/ her father in the morning. If I can get to the bookstore I would be happy. The weather is in the 90's til Tuesday so stay cool is a top priority, anything above 75 and I am a baby! Have fun at Cambrie's party! Oh, what was for dinner?? lol ....lets chat food.
And I don't mean to drag the Bachelorette conversation out but did anyone else notice Graham's family didn't have a dinner w/ DeAnna?? I kept saying that to Rach and she says I am obsessed w/ food. lol
Dinner was chicken, chicken, chicken....ugh. I am starting to grow feathers and scratch the dirt with me feet. ha......anyway, just need to drink some water and I am done for the day.
Cristina~No, I couldnt find the clothes after I bought them. They were in the clearance section, so when I went back, they werent there anymore. I did take pics of the shoes. But I dunno how to resize the pic. Oh and you know..I'm happy its Friday too.
Wildthing~Welcome!! WTG on losing 3 pounds!!! Have fun with your girls night.
Cristina (again)~My plans for this weekend..hmm..I'm gonna bake some cookies for Fonzo tomorrow. And vacuum. Then just chill out. There really isnt much else for me to do.
Susan~I did notice that Graham's fam didnt have dinner with DeAnna. I wonder why that was. Or maybe they did, and they just didnt show it? I dunno.
So I was bored today and got on the scale. My weight is still the same. LoL!! So thats good. Once Fonzo gets back home, I'll get off my lazy bum and start working out again. Lets see if I can make it to 179 before we move, lol. I doubt it though.
Evening ladies- I am on my way to bed and just stopped to say hi. Sounds like you are all doing well. I didn't ride today, but did walk a little. Not much.
We are under a severe storm watch and earlier had a windy, rainy one blow through here. But earlier today it was way too hot. We went to run errands and also to look at cars at a tent sale. I drove a new Buick and we are "thinking" about it. Have to trade my car in, but have also been thinking about a "fun" car, an HHR. So tomorrow we are off to that dealer and will then decide.
That answers the question of what I am doing this week-end. Well, then Sun. we are delivering a table to our niece.
DH grilled burgers and hot dogs and Mom made potato salad for dinner. I didn't have to cook..yay! On the flip side however....it wasn't the least bit OP for me today.
Alright...off to bed. Thank you all for your concern. My appt. is Thurs. and I am not unduly worried. Been through worse with the melanoma. I do appreciate your good wishes!
things are a lot smoother around here, so I am happy about that!
I took the boys to the pool again on Friday and then Tommy brought Marissa over to get us so that we could eat dinner. we then took them to bike night, and then off to find a spot for us to sit for the fireworks! a lot of walking was done....including both up and down in a parking structure, using NO elevators, just the ramps!
