What a beautiful morning it is here in central Nebraska. Only a couple more days in the 90's and then we can relax with the 80's, quite honestly I'm ready for some 70's. Sorry I didn't get here Friday but I had to work out of town so I wasn't near my computer. I had a wonderful weekend, Friday night we went to a going away party for one of my DH co workers. I tried not to overeat or drink. Did pretty well, I was so tired I really didn't care one way or the other. Saturday was a much better eating day. Sunday was my weigh in and I lost another .4 lbs. hey it's a loss !!! We had breakfast and then didn't eat much till late afternoon when we made beef kabobs with lots of fresh veggies, oh YUM. Got my treadmill workout done before work this morning so now I just need to take time to do some strength work, as soon as I get the laundry caught up.
Where is everyone, they must really have been busy over the weekend.

SUE: Don't beat yourself up over that 5 lb gain. It is very hard to stay on track when we have company and we are so relaxed with an old friend.BUT now you must get back to work on it. We will support you all the way!!!!

LINDA: Your little family holds a grudge for a long time don't they? Hope they get over it pretty soon, or your going to be awfully busy cleaning up after them.

Dryer just buzzed me that it is done so I had better get my rooms set up for patients and do some general cleaning. Talk to you gals later, have a wonderful day.

Hi ladies,

Just got back from my regular 6 month check at the oncologist. Green light for another 6 months.

Wow! These little kitties sure like to be in charge. It's like I'm their maid. "Clean-up after me, feed me and perhaps I'll reward you by allowing you to pet me." hhhuuummm - not sure how long this will last. Just kidding - I was prepared for it - a bit!

Too bad about your trip Cheryl. I can't imagine all of that going wrong in one trip. Is your next one the last?

Donna - You're making me think. I only know #3 and I think it is 'C'

Linda Sue.

Talk soon,

Hi gang . . .

Wow CHERYL . . . you certainly had enough problems on that trip to last you for A LONG, LONG time. Hopefully, that means a great stretch of everything going right from now on.

DONNA . . . think I know #1 (b) and # 3 (c) . . . BUT #2 (b) is definitely just a guess.

Here's a big PURRRRR for you DENISE . . . glad to see you are quickly coming to understand the world of the cat.

So . . . here it is afternoon already and I have accomplished nothing . . . at least I've had not 'surprises' from my feline menagerie (or, none that I've discovered, yet). We are having a wonderful day -- nice seasonal temperatures; nice comfy humidity levels; nice and . In my estimation . . . that's about as good as it gets.

Here's an interesting little article from Prevention Magazine that I thought you might all enjoy . . . http://www.prevention.com/cda/articl...news.views/0/1

Hope everybody is having a great moving and shaking kind of day . . . Keep doing the good stuff, gang and I'll see you all again soon . . .

I'm dancin because the sun is out but the temp is only 73 and it is going on 2 PM, what a beautiful day this is. They are talking about rain tonight but they have done that all week and we haven't seen any here, all around us though.

CHERYL: I'm so sorry that you had so much trouble on your trip out West. Wow that had to be very frustrating. Glad you got to put a bid on the house you wanted that you get it, time for some good luck.

DENISE:on your good news at the doctors office. Sounds like you have figured out your new family pretty well, or is it the other way around?

LINDA: Your furry little family is behaving, hope they keep it up, they just wanted to let you know they are still in charge. Don't you just love the Prevention magazine. I have taken it for several years now and I look forward to each new issue. Seems like I always find something in there to help me out.

Where are Hy and Sue hiding ? We miss you gals, hope we hear from you soon.

Have a wonderful day everyone. DONNA

Just a quick fly-by . . . . . . the day was gorgeous, but I spent too much of it at the Dentist and then too much more of it feeling kind of yucky.

Hi there . . .

Knew it was too good to last . . . today the weather is overcast and getting more humid by the minute . . . definitely going to be getting some rain before too long.

Anyway . . . here's another good article from Prevention magazine that I thought you might all enjoy . . . http://www.prevention.com/cda/articl...%20Tips%20Ever

Have a great day everybody . . . see you later . . .

Hi again . . . another day and another weekend . . .

We have sunshine today and, while that is definitely nice to see after the torrential rains we had yesterday, the humidity is 97% and it feels like I'm living in a pressure cooker.

Hope everybody else has a good and fun kind of day on the go . . . see you later . . .

Hi again . . . Nova Scotia managed to set another 'mugginess' record yesterday and today is supposed to be even worse. Weird, weird, weird Summer we've been having.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend . . . see you soon . . .

Happy,happy,happy here. Scale finally gave up and let me lose

1 lb this week. I feel great and it gives me the incentive I've been looking

for to keep going. Want to lose at least 3 lbs by the 10th of Sept. with

your help I know I will get there.

Have a great day, I've already walked my first mile today and will try for

another one later on. DONNA

Hi gang . . .

Hooray for you DONNA . . .

Weather is much, much better today and I'm taking advantage of it. Just about to run out again, but wanted to say a quick Hi to everybody.

See you soon . . .

Hi everyone,

I guess I've been away for a while - I didn't realize how long. I have been busy with people visiting, taking parents to doc's appointments but mainly my new cats.

They are really starting to feel at home. They will now come and sit on my lap if I'm reading. I'm really quite enjoying them.

Congrats on the loss Donna!

Meowee - There was someone from Environment Canada on the radio the other day and he was really talking about Winnipeg weather but he kept changing over to Nova Scotia and much of the east coast. He agrees with your analysis of your weather this summer.
