Karen, we should be home for two weeks. I just e-mailed my mom to see if we could reserve some rooms at my parents'.

Replying to Bea's post from yesterday: Girl, when it's almost TOM (I start tomorrow) I am the SAME WAY. I suddenly become an insatiable bottomless pit! I crave salt, spicy, and usually vinegar, thus my pickle/pepperoncini/pepperjack cheese binge on Sunday night. And of course, sodium is exactly what every girl needs right before TOM. Don't worry sister, just drink a lot of water and know that it will pass!!!

Quick fly-by - put on a special project. Trying to figure out how to do it. Hope everyone has a great day!

Lisa

Good morning, started my morning out crappy woke up 2 hours later than I normally do- somehow turned my cell phone(which is my alarm) off during the night.

Debbie -So sorry to hear about Rudi- warm thoughts headed your way.

Heidi - My prayers and thoughts are with your friends today.

Twynn - enjoy your day.

Vicki - Hope your daughter feels better soon.

Cyndi - Maine how fun!! I was thinking of going back there this summer to show my two older kids where they were born.

BLESS YOU LISA!!! I drove to work this morning and all I could think of was chips and salsa . . . . . at 6 am!!!!!

SO - when I get home tonight, I am making toasted mini-ww pitas and going to town on the salsa. It will have to do!! Oh, and having some pistachios. AND EXTRA WATER!!!!

Thanks all for the support.
Be well -

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm chips and salsa......... (incidentally: salty, spicy, and vinegary)

FORGOT to tell everyone! I'm going to see Sara Bareilles tonight with Anna and her mom! WOOHOO! Road trip! Heading to Decatur, back to Millikin University where I went to school. Gonna be a great time, I just know it! I may be kicking myself in the morning (zzzzzzz zzzzzzzz) but it'll be worth it!

Afternoon everyone. I've had a busy morning. Was working outside weedeating for the past couple of hours and getting a lot accomplished until my darn weedeater decided to stop working and I bought it last summer! So that ended my yard work and am not waiting for DH to get home to take a look at it. Will probably end up taking it back to Home Depot (thank goodness they have a very good "return" policy. Now my front yard has a half completed trim job .

It was this morning but the clouds have rolled in and looks like they were right saying we were going to get more rain today and tomorrow. Won't complain though since we've had several days of wonderful sun and warm temps.

I'm so proud of my little cucumber seed starts. Almost all 16 pods are now showing some growth. Of course there are way too many for just me so will be sharing with the rest of the family. Now I'm anxious to start some squash and who knows what else?

I didn't see the pair of honkers at our pond this morning when I was walking so guess they decided not to nest on our island .

Oh my Debbie, I am so so very sorry about Rudi, especially if you have to make the decision. That is so hard. I had to do that with the "once in a lifetime" love of my life cocker almost six years ago and am still wondering if I did the right thing at the right time. My thoughts will definitely be on you and hoping you have the courage and strength to do what is right for him. Give him a chin rub for me and maybe even a scratch behind the ear. I slept on the floor with my girl for her last two nights with me. Tearing up just remembering..........

Heidi, so hoping the surgery for your friends goes smoothly.

Linda, you've got a long road ahead of you so be sure and take care of yourself too and I know your mom appreciates you being there for her.

Matilda, that your vehicle problem is minor.

CyndiM, I booked my vacation for July and I'm counting down already so go for it girl!

Melanie, "welcome" to this wonderful stretch of beach. There is always room for one more blanket. Hope you post often so we can all get to know you.

Oh Kara, crunch time! Wish we all were closer to help you.

To everyone else who has already posted and for those yet to come, . Hope you all have just the right amount of today.
