We had a good one!! We left our house with the moderately disfunctional air conditioner at 11:30, and went to a friend's house who fed us lunch AND dinner (and I stayed basically OP!!) and then we lit some fireworks (legal kind.) The kids had a blast and we kept cool. Two storms went through while we were there, but we were nice and comfy. We came home at 11:30 last night and the power was out!! (we later learned it went out at 1 pm yestaerday!) Since we had the (kind of) air on, the house was closed up and it was 84 in here, so we slept on the couch with the front door open and tried to cool the house down. The power came back on about 2 hours ago, so I am a happy camper right now!!!

I had a great Birthday dinner on Saturday but ate way too much-I am dreading weigh in at WW tonight

I got some cool stuff too- a sarong, bath stuff, a skirt from DH, several gift certificates for chapters -which I promptly spent on Sunday -

-and some amber earrings from my parents.

Hope you all had a good weekend

Geeze- I hope Ellis gets her computer fixed soon -things aren't the same around here with out her

Darlings, I'm back!

A few of you will be glad (I think), and some of you will be bitterly disappointed. Sorry.

I have missed you all terribly.

In a nutshell...

- went to the cottage
- car broke down
- drove home in Dad's car
- got a quote on the car: "it's dead"
- spent an entire week getting financing and searching for a new car
- almost blew the engine in Dad's car in the meantime
- Internet server cut me off (missed a payment... those little #@*#@$!'s)
- got a new server... finally got it working. High speed!
- lost a couple more pounds, despite a MAJOR stressful week

I hope you all had a happy 4th!! I was thinking of all of you. Yes, we had a MAJOR storm that night. It was beautiful. I ran outside at 4 AM to get a library book that I hadn't left outside.
