Good Morning:

I think you're right, Maryann, it's summer: be lazy.

Nancy, hang in there. You'll have some grieving to do. I remember my mother telling me how sad she was when I left. I was the last one out and probably the one she had the best relationship with. You'll find your footing. Maybe you'll always miss his messy room, but it can be a sweet memory eventually, not just a sign of loss.

I slept in, again. I have to go to a political luncheon fund raiser at noon. Then I see Todd at 4PM. That just might be all that I do!

Good Morning Chicks! Busy, busy, busy....but today is a day of rest for me.

Rhonda, I've been sleepy too. Wonder what's up with that?

Nancy, you've got to develop a new routine for yourself. Maybe a B & B would be fun for you guys. If you have two ideas put them in a hat and pick one. Don't be paralyzed into sitting sad in your empty house because you can't decide. I think that would be worse!

Sloan, hope you stop running in circles soon! The kids go back to school next week here. My 6 year old Great Nephew is going all day to first grade after half day kindergarden. He says he's not going. And, his Sister is going to preschool for the first time. The oldest is happy to go back as she misses her friends. I wouldn't want to be my Niece next week....or the teachers!

Sandra, how's it going? Back in routine?

Mary Ann, we are hiding from the humidity here too.

Time for my oatmeal and fresh blueberries!

Maryann, the South is getting the heat, too. We've had around several 100* days in a row. :yikes: We're ready for an arctic blast.

Nancy, :hugs: Allow yourself a certain amount of time to grieve if you need to do so.

Vickie, we're sort of back in routine. Curtis is getting better and better and it's getting easier all the time to assist him. However, the yard needs mowing again. Guess who gets that job. Curtis said we could hire it done, but I'm too stubborn.

I went to Beaumont Ranch for a pedicure/manicure. I really needed that pampering. Today we're having a date out for lunch. Life is good.

All of you have a wonderful day.

Ohhhhh.....I sounded harsh, Nancy. Sometimes, in writing things don't come out the way we want. I just want you to be happy and you sound SOOOO sad.

Glad Curtis is improving. Have fun at your lunch.

No , I didn't take it harsh at all...
I tend to sit & do nothing when I am very sad and you are right that I need to plan , so I don't do that.

Even if Robin and I explore the areas on the way home it would be a good distraction. I love exploring...

He is going to UNC Charlotte and we are driving from Raleigh NC, so if anyone knows things to do between those let me know (even if it is a few hours in another direction) I looked at Charleston SC but that is a bit too far .

Sorry I haven't read all the posts , I will try to catch up tonight.

Thanks everyone for listening and advice..

We had a lunch date today. I had planned for it and had a cheeseburger and fantastic onion rings. Now I'm happily eating foods that will get me to my goal quicker. Every now and then a few onion rings fall into our lives. I'm glad I'd planned for them.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful day. We're inside staying cool. Curtis has PT tomorrow AM. Not much else happening today.

And you didn't call me? ;):devil:

I should have. ;)

oooh, those sound good. I had Mexican food at lunch, so had only salad and vegetables for dinner. I've got to go to bed, not because I'm tired but because I don't want to eat!

Nancy, I'm sorry that I don't know that area. I don't know if it would be helpful but you might look at the Southern Living website and see if they have information about what to do there.

Night all!
Rhonda

Good Morning:

I've been awake for 2 hours already. I've got my ironing done and some papers sorted.

I want to suggest that you find the thread on the 3FC website called "does it work" ..just below where we are...and read about protein shakes. I haven't read the Consumer Reports article but I'm going to try to find it. One of the ones the report criticizes, Muscle Milk, is one I like. The other one from Smoothie King isn't mentioned in the 3FC posting of the article.

I think I might try to get a little more sleep...have to take Kyra to the vet at 8AM.

BBL,
Rhonda

Good Morning Chicks!

Yikes, Rhonda, you've been up since 4 am?!!! I hope you got to nap. I had a bad night myself. Cleaning lady is here. Thank God as the house gets dirtier now with the puppy. There's only so much I can do with the hernia and Jim with his bad shoulders. Is Kyra ok? I hope this is just a follow up.

I would love to go in the pool today but don't think I can. I'm pretty sure I aggravated the hernia again by getting in and out of the pool for 4 straight days last week. Oh well.

Tons to do. I'll be back later to check on everyone.

Kyra is just fine, has been "released" by the vet.

I did get another hour's sleep, thank goodness.

Hi Ladies:)

Suns out and it seems to be cooler today Was hoping to get out to do some walking before I go to my bible study class,but I got .Its going to be crowded up here & the vineyard especially now that the President it going to be here today for his vacation.Our town and Hyannis are the only towns on the south shore to have fairy service to the Island,so our PB club is not a good place to be tomorrow.



RHONDA-I'm happy again that I don't think I need the A/c today and hopefully not tonight when I go to bed.I love to open a window and have the fresh breeze coming in. Thanks I going to see what that thread of protein shakes is all about.I have a Soy protein powered that I like to use again.


SANDRA-I know,the south is getting higher temps than we have,I really feel sorry for all the people living in the south and the mid west with all those floods & tornadoes. Those are very scary to me.


Have to go,my friend Alice is going to be here soon for our daily outing.

If you type "Muscle Milk recall" into Google, you will see reproductions of the Consumer Reports chart. It says that the testing is based on consuming 3 drinks a day, more than recommended by the manufacturer. I never drank that much of it. However, I won't be drinking it again.

There is also a GNC product on the chart.
