Hi Everyone,

I have been lazy and not exercising.

I will definitely get alot of exercise on saturday, we are going on a day trip to new york city and once the bus gets us there we will spend the day on foot. They are dropping us off and picking us up at Rockefeller center. I have never been to a big city so it ought to be good. A lady at work set it up and rented the bus so it only costs us each $39.00, seems pretty reasonable to me.

foodwise has been mediocre, I just signed up the girls for soccer that starts the beginning of september so they are happy. I have alot of work to do before my NYC trip so I have to keep this short.

Here is the last post from #7, it's from PJ



Hi there. Just a quickie. My server (Bellsouth.net) has been down now for (as of today) THREE days!!!! I'm going crazy...can't get mail, can't get on the internet and they say it's out as far down as Miami. I'm not a happy camper. I'm using my neighbors puter to let you all know what's going on. Please don't email me until I let you all know when I'm back online. I already get about 50 emails per day and I know I'm going "crash" when I try to retrieve it all.
Until then,

Calling all owls...come out, come out wherever you are!!!

I'm sure with the nice weather after the long winter (except for those lucky people who live down south like PJ) you are probably out enjoying the sun and warmth.

I hope that everyone is doing well on their programs. I'm finding some difficulty since it doesn't seem worthwhile cooking for two picky kids and myself. With Wayne gone all week, I just don't get the cooking done like I should. The good thing about moving is that I get a new kitchen, and that always give me the incentive to do some good planning and cooking.

I took the day off to get things done today after subbing for 5 days. It's hard to believe it is time to start planning for the end of school year activities in my kids classes. Like always, the school years keep going by so quickly. We will be done in about 4 weeks, and there is sure a lot to do yet.

Well, hope to see more of you posting soon. Have a good one.

Susan

Well, as of 8:50pm this evening, they got their problems resolved. FOUR DAYS without being able to get online at all.

I'm going to make this one a quickie also....have had a toothache for 3 days now.....got so bad I called this morning and they took me right away since I was in AGONY! Guess what I got???? Another root-canal since the tooth was badly abscessed! Yuck and OUCH!!!!!! They even left it open so it can drain until next Thursday. So, since I'm taking Vicaden pain killers and can hardly see straight......and since I don't want to say anything stupid......LOL.....I'm going to bid you all a good night. I'll see you all tomorrow with my morning cup of coffee.
Hugs,
~Pamela~

Yes...I have been busy with the yard and just too tired to turn the puter on! Had my monthly massage Wednesday and then shopped ( I hate shoping..like the walking but not looking for stuff!) Well I hurt form my massage but worked outside anyway..we had over an inch of rain but it cleared up...plan to go out the next few days too cause we have cold front coming through with more rain Sunday and I still have lots to plant

Pj....No puter for 4 days Wow..did ya get a lot of other stuff done? You say something stupid..never Sorry about your tooth..I hate when they hurt and the pain meds don't always work.

Bren..so how was your trip..sounds exciting!

Susan..I find it easier when I don't have to cook for anyone! I don't eat as much then. I'm still OP and I'm coming up on my year aniversary on WW. (OP the whole year!)

Hi Guys

Got myself on aol as stel9star, so if your in the mood for a chat and I'm on give me a buz

I've been really lethargic for the last few days, some bug or something, I have had to have blood tests done, so I just have to wait till next week to find out.

It's been a wet day here today.

Hope you all have had good days. I haven't done any exercise for the last few days due to not feeling well but I'm not worried. I'm feeling really slack right now.

Hope your time in NYC was good Brenda.

Well good to see the net is working for you again PJ

My roses are starting to bloom..I just love the smell of them!

Well yesterday I went on a day trip to new york city and we pretty much walked for 6 hours, gosh I thought my legs were gonna fall off. We did take 2 short trips(5 minutes each)on the subway but mostly it was walking. We went all through china town, little italy, rockefeller center and times square. It was sooooo much fun. We just loved it and got back home at about 10:30pm, today I just relaxed and nurtured a blister on one of my toes. I also went grocery shopping today and I found some of that special K with strawberries cereal. I really love it, it is loaded with the berries(dehydrated) and 2pts per cup. I gotta say I just love it!! It is awesome. Well I will try to walk tomorrow.

Candice, I love the rose that is so beaufiful.

Stel, hope you start feeling better soon.

PJ, Glad to see you are back online. It is so frustrating when our servers or e-mail don't work.

Later Owls
Brenda

WOW Bren!!! That sounds lke great fun!!! ANd what about all that exercise!!! Iam glad you mentioned the SPecial K cereal...Ihave seen it and was afraid it wouldn't be good....but with your review I think I will pick some up tomorrow!

Pj...glad you're back and keep those emails coming!!! I love them!!

Candice... I want to see that yard of yours!! You continue to inspire me...a whole year OP...That is so great!! I need to do just ONE week!!!

Went to Sam's today and bought my old standby..boneless skinless chicken breasts... I do love them and there is so much I can do with them. Gonna really give it a try this week...

Laundry is a calling...heck it's been calling all day of and on.....

Night

Bill left for Oklahoma City today and will be gone all week. I have Alec and Lindsey staying over tonight (my friend with the stables children) because she worked late and although Lindsey is old enough to watch her brother....I hate the thought of them being home alone until 10pm at night. Besides, they all walk to school together anyway. Billy and Alec to their Elem. and Jackie and Lindsey to their middle school. I'm just tired from a long day of entertaining people and kids in the pool. Had a friend over this morning for coffee just before Bill left and then had friends of ours and their kids come over this afternoon since I invited them to come over and go in the pool last week (and forgot about it) so there were alot of people here today. Me? I just told everyone where the towels were, put out some chips and a pitcher of iced tea and went about my cleaning. LOL....had lots of laundry to do and also had to clean all of the tiled floors. My abscessed tooth is still bothering me and I don't know if that's normal or not. I'm not due back to see them until Thursday and I thought that once it was drained, it would feel better but I'm still in pain.
PAIN SUCKS!!!!! Big time!!!!!! And I'm really, really getting tired of it!
Anyway, I was surprised what little bit of posts we had this weekend. I guess you were all doing the same thing as I was......doing things and keeping busy.
Brenda - Sounds like you really enjoyed New York. I loved living there as a single young woman but I wouldn't live there now.....not with kids and a family. It's a great place to visit though and a real "culture" shock to alot of people. It has so much to offer and there is always something going on and so many things to see and do and learn.....especially with the kids. You HAVE to go to some of the Museums one of these days. Maybe next time.

Em - Glad you like my "sicko joke emails". Heh-heh. Sometimes, I just can't help myself. I get them....then feel that I've just GOT to pass some of the really good ones on.....LOL.....glad you enjoy them.

Well, this Mommy is veeeery tired and I WAS going to take a bath but I think a quick shower will have to do tonight unless I want to be on the morning news.

Sweet Dreams my friends and I'll "see" you all tomorrow.

~Pamela~

p.s. - Doing well OP. Getting all my water in AND pain killers. It's not very easy to eat much with an abscessed tooth. LOL

My body needed a break from all the yard work! My iris are blooming and smell so good..I dug and transplanted some of them 2 years ago and now they are blooming..blue-purple ones and my yellow daylilles are inbetween them..so pretty!

Bren..New York sounds wonderful..sorry about your blister..hope you will be able to walk. Dh and I walked yesterday with the dog. With two jobs now he has been too tired to walk with me.

Emmy...you can do this..I'm just determined and lost another pound too!

PJ..what kind of sick jokes are you sending out I could use a laugh or two! You sound so laid back..company and you are cleaning..hope your tooth gets better..I go for a check up and cleaning tomorrow, I even hate that!

Can you expalin to me how to crop and size pictures...the program on my puter is called imaging but I can't figure it out! You can email me if you still have my address.

Candice - Could you please email me your email address? I thought I had yours but I don't. I went to your profile but it disables sending you email. I'll tell you everything you want to know about "editing" pics then.
See you all later....I'm dealing with this "tooth from He**" today.
~Pamela~

ps - I've attached a picture of my soon to be 13 yr. old daughter. I think Michele/ET and Susan and Suebee will be surprised at how much she's grown.

Wow, she's a beauty! How old is she now....21?? Look out!

Had a nice weekend. It's a long weekend for us Canadians. Had a great time off with the family.

Hi There,

PJ, Yes, it truly was a very interesting place to visit and quite an eye opener too, LOL One guy walked by us and his pants fell down, underwear and everything, he was homeless so I felt very sorry for him but it was quite a sight. Thank the kids stayed with my sister and didn't go with us. I have to say though that all the new yorkers were very nice to us and helpful.

Emmy, yes I love the cereal, when dry the strawberries taste a bit tarte but with milk it is awesome.

Hello to everyone else

Bren

I bet you will be fighting the boys off if not already! Hope your tooth gets better. Sent you my email..It's a different one cause the other one is having problems!

Can't wait to try that new cereal you all are talking about!

Cool here so no yard work this week.
