Hi, Ladies. Sounds like you're all doing well op-wise. :woohoo: I'm doing well, too.

I turned in my paperwork today for subbing at the grands' school. Life is good.

It's definitely summertime in Texas. Thank goodness for a/c. :lol:

I had a super NSV today. After I turned in paperwork at the school, I stopped by to visit a cousin I hadn't seen in years. He told me I looked beautiful. Now is that love or what? Anyway, he made my day. I hope my visit made his.

Have a great, op day, everyone. I'll be back later.

Hi All,

Just stopping in really quick before I head up to start dinner. I'm doing trout on the grill, it's a new recipe should be interesting. I was proud of myself I took the dog out for a walk this morning before going with DH for his cat scan, glad we went early it's pretty warm and muggy out. Not much else going on been sewing and knitting most of the day. Tomorrow I've got a dentist apt because my tooth aches, hopefully he can fix it, if not at least I'll have clean achy teeth.

Have a great night everyone.

Hi Everyone
Well not much going on since I was on here last.
Did get sons work clothes washed up.
And made him strombolis for supper. And of course I ate a small one.
So will be back on track tomorrow.

BEACHBUM Sons truck is a automatic. Or else he would have to find a way to get his truck inspected himself. I tried to learn to drive a stick shif. But dont do very good. Would drive on a country road. But not in the city. Sorry wi wasnt good. But together we can get back on track. Hope it clears up for you soon. So you can get back out and walk. Hows the leg feeling. Hope it is doing better.

ONTARGET How exciting you turned in your paperwork for subbing. When will you find out for sure you got the job. The kids are going to love you. That was so sweet of your cousin. I know you made his day. And am so happy he made your. Isnt it nice when someone says something nice to you. And you dont expect it.

TECHALUM I am trying to get back on track myself. Dont know why I let meself get off in the first place. Then it takes me forever to get back on. The trout sounds good. Hope the tooth gets to feeling better.

TEJAS Congrats on the loss. I love raccoons. But I know they are a pest. We have been having one in our yard early in the mornings. Around 4:00 am. So I have to make sure it isnt around before I let the girls out. The coon dont seem to be too afraid.

BLESSEDWITHSARAH That is good that you are able to help your Mom. And glad you had a good time at the museum. Sounds like fun.

SLOANIE You are not whinning. You have been working really hard. That is nice your son is helping. Congrats for staying OP. That is awesome. My goal for tomorrow is to stay OP. I need it after today. Need to go and get some more fruit to have on hand. Maybe Friday I can get some. Get some rest.

Well ladies I better get off here.
Got a couple of things I need to get done before bedtime.
Dont know when I will be on here tomorrow. Or if I will get a chance.
Get our hair cut in the morning. Then I have to stop at my sisters for a few minutes. Then take sons truck. Come home. Have some paper work that I need to get done. And I think my neighbor is going to help me with the laptop. So if I dont get on here. Know that I am thinking of you.
Night.

Hope everyone is having a great evening. Still op and planning to make a core tuna casserole for supper. We are on our annual watermelon eating binge. Between dh and I we eat aprox one every two days. Got a little remodeling done today, but hip and shoulder were giving me fits. I went to the chiropractor that has really helped my dh for a work up, and I go back in the morning for her to go over my tests. She was appalled at how little range of motion I have in my neck, and she thinks that is a big part of my problem. Oh well, getting old stinks but the alternative is not so great either. I guess I'll stick around a while, stiff neck and all. DH and BIL are building us a deck to put our little pool on this afternoon. We have one of the small ones that you keep chlorinated, and it has a pump. There is just enough room for two floats; just perfect for dh and me. It will be so nice to have it off of the ground!

GTG get supper started. We are eating late tonight due to the visit to the chiro. Nighty night chicks!!!

Donna, I'm excited to begin grilling as soon as we get our decks ready. Your trout makes me hungry. I'm about to have fruit for dinner. That's pretty good, too. I'm having pineapple chunks, peaches, and strawberries.

Coco, I have the jobs now. Both schools should be calling after school starts when they need subs. I'm excited.

:wave:

I've got a very busy day....BB much later....

I've everyone's post, but have gotta get this hectic day started. I went to spinning though...

Rhonda

Good Morning Ladies:)

This another gloomy:P day but tomorrow we're suppose to see the sun:sunny: shinning again. Another day on the bike but this time I'm going for the spin.Going to undo the tension button on the :ebike:bike, to make it easier to get the results.


SLOAN-Hopefully we'll see the sun shortly,but not the humidity.That I can do without,so far we haven't but the A/C's in the windows yet,and if doesn't look lot we will at this point.

When all is done,your going to have beautiful home when all the work is done. By all means don't do anymore work if your hip is hurting,take it easy for a couple of days until it heals.Do you have a deteriorating disc in your neck,that's what I have and it does hit the rotary cuff nerve in my shoulder.


COCO-Big congrats on the 2 lb loss. you're doing fantastic.The others will follow soon.

Oh that's a different story,but I don't know if I could every drive something that big. Thanks my leg is not hurting it was my back at gave out the other day.


PAULA-Thanks for the birthday wishes.I'm really sick of this weather,I like to start walking to the beach again.Didn't know that there was a beach on the other side of Sycamore Bridge, as we never go down that way, the furthers we went was to route 6.We go to the Bristol Beach,to get our walking done.


SANDRA-Those NSV:carrot::carrot: do pick up your spirits. Congrats for that.


DONNA-:wave: HI--Nothing like meals on a grill,if this rain:rain: would ever stop That just what we do is cook on the grill everyday. I have a indoor grill but we don't have room on the counter for it so I have to get it out all the time and that is quite a hassle for me. Love wall type of fish on the grill or not.


Have a great morning

Hello All,

It's pretty muggy here you can almost cut the air with a knife. Took the dog out this morning, was only good for about a 1/2 hour though (we usually go closer to 45min) it was hard to breath. Been out weeding in the garden, I may not have to water I've been sweating so much, taking it in about 30 min sections then into the A/C to cool off. I could never live down south, I'll tell you that.

The trout was good last night, will have to add that to my repertoire. I don't do fish often, I love to eat it out but I don't cook it much. Need to find some recipes that are easy and good. Tonight we're having black bean burgers, they're one of our favorites.

Well the weeds are calling my name. I'll try to stop back later.

Hi Everyone
Well got my hair trimmed this morning. Well just the bangs. And hubby got his cut. The took the truck. And it passed. Son called. Was happy with that. Thought it might not pass inspection. The tires were ify. But they passed it. Said he would need new ones for sure by fall.
Then went to my sister's for a few minutes. Then home. And havent gotten into anything.
Wont be long. And it will be time to start supper. Not sure what we will have.
Thinking stir fry veggies.

ONTARGET CONGRATS on the job. That is awesome. I am sure you will love it.

TECHALUM it is suppose to be humid here today. The temp is 79 right now. But it feel warmer. Do have a little breeze blowing. But the sun is pretty warm. Will have to turn on the AC after bit. Trying to hold off as long as I can. I have a flower bed that needs weeded. But will have to wait until the sun goes down. Or a cooler day.

BEACHBUM How did your bike ride go. Hope you had a good one.

SLOANIE Hope your are feeling better. I bet the pool water feels good on your back.

Well I got to get off here and get something done.
Will be back later.

Hi chicks! Busy day :dizzy: Back to the chiropractor today to find out that I have arthritis in my neck and pelvis as well as my hip. No wonder I hurt when I over-do it. Oh well, she is going to work on my joints to see if I can start moving better.
I have been op today except for some ice cream dessert for dinner. I've eaten tons of fruit and had lots of water, so I feel like I have done pretty well.

Sandra-congrats on the sub job. I'll bet you will love being in the school with your grands.

Maryann and Rhonda-keep spinning :ebike:

Coco-sounds like you had a busy day. Stir fry veggies sounds good. I had a grilled chicken caesar salad that was pretty good.

Donna-I do live in the south, and we have "air you can wear". Like I posted yesterday, sometimes my glasses fog up when I leave the house. How did you prepare the trout?

Paula- hope all is well with you!

Vickie-where are you and Sara?

GTG It's past my bedtime :tired:

Good Morning Ladies:)

Looks like we are going to see the sun:sunny: come out :dancer:,as it been a long time since that happened.WoW!!! what a difference my possitivity is coming back again don't feel any of the negativity around, like I did all those weeks. My weight is coming down again also,hope it stays that way until Monday's W-I.


DONNA-Don't like those days either,way can't we just have sunny days with not humidity,but that would be perfect world.Wouldn't live in the south either,we have to cut our flowering bushes in the front yard down they growing over my window sills,with all the rain we had.


COCO-I bet you feel cooler not that you had your hair cut.I'm going to have my hair cut & styled very soon.I going to make roasted veggies[red &gr peppers,onions & eggplant]along with boneless pork & corn on the cob our noon dinner.Oh!! I had a good 30 min ride of bike spinning. I loosened the tension on the bike and oh how I could believe how fast I was going.Was watching a DVD at the time I was on the bike.



SLOANE-Oh I'm sorry:sorry: about the arthritis in your joints.I can image how they hurt,after having my back go out on me. We used a joint & muscle pain killer called joint-ritis and it really worked,but unfortunately somehow they took a ingredient out of it and it doesn't work anymore,like it used to.Hope the chiropractor will help you get some relief. Oh I like Rhonda's spinning exercise and will continue doing so,when its raining and I can't go out and walk.

Good morning. I"m op. The decks are in process, flowers are blooming, life is good.

We are going to a family reunion Fri-Sun. We're excited about that. It will be held in New Braunfels just north of San Antonio. Should be fun.

Maryann, I'm glad you have sunshine and also that your weight's dropping. Both are good signs. I love your positive attitude, too.

Donna, I don't cook fish at home much either but we do it it quite a bit at restaurants.

Rhonda, you're doing so well with your spinning class. I'm glad you found something that works for you and is fun.

Coco, I'm getting my hair cut and highlighted this morning. Glad your truck passed. That would be a bummer if it didn't.

I found Melissa on Facebook then I had a Lucy moment and can no longer post there. I'm not sure what I did to the puter but need to find me a Geek.
Waving at Paula, Vickie, and everyone else here.

Hi Everybody:

I've got another day of running like mad. I've got a lot of work, and a lot of parties to go to...it's that time of year :dancer:

My home department had its retirement party yesterday and WOW... there were seven of us and we each received a beautiful book about the university and a gold watch. A gold watch???? I thought we were all broke!!! Well, I'm not giving it back, that's for sure. :nono: It's beautiful, with the university's name and crest on its face. I'm stunned, actually.

I have a lunch with a former student and dinner with two work friends....then, that's it for the partying at work :hat:

BBL,
Rhonda

Rhonda, what a wonderful gesture. I am impressed. Enjoy your celebrations.

I'm taking the puter to my son's later today. I had a Lucy moment and have done some damage that I hope he can repair. If not, I'll have to take it to the Geek Guys at Best Buy.

Hey chicks-I'm op for the moment and hangin' in there. Things are moving along with our little pool deck and the bathroom. Maybe this time next week we will be swimming then retiring to our new master suite.

Rhonda-the gold watch sounds lovely. I don't blame you, I would take it and run!!

Maryann-I'm glad you are finally seeing the sun. I know it really cheers you up!

Sandra-have a great time at your family reunion.

Hey to the rest of y'all.

Have a good night everyone :D
