Yesterday we beat the 1980 record of 69 days of 100F temperatures. We have had 70 days.

But, now, right now.....RAIN!!! :dancer: :dance:

I have been w/o internet service for over a day. Thank goodness I'm now back online. Talk about withdrawal!!:dizzy:

Vickie, I'm glad you saw the landscaper. You sound like things will go well. :clap: I'm happy for you.

We had at least 8 hummingbirds Monday evening. This is the sign that it's about time for them to head south. Today we've seen at least 4 at once. We're going to miss those little buggers. They certainly bring a lot of smiles to both of us.

OA meeting Monday night went well. I've dropped 1 of the 4 pounds I regained last week. Guess I'd best go change my signature. Have a good day, everyone!

I should let everyone know that we're leaving early Saturday morning on a week cruise. We're flying to NYC, sailing to Halifax, then Saint John, Portland, Boston and back to NYC.

I'll be on line if there is free service on the ship. I'm not taking my computer.

need me along to carry your bags :D

Nancy, forget the porter's job, just jump on board!

Rhonda Please fling the odd sausage in the starboard side life boat... second from the bow. Two of your little fat friends will be stowed away in there. The cruise sounds wonderful, just the sort of thing we would love.

If I haven't lost weight this week I shall want to know why. I am walking so much that my knees are protesting more than usual.

I get rotten nights now and again nancy... sleep pattern all over the place. I don't like sleeping tablets so just get on the computer for an hour or so, or read my book then make sure I am up around 8am so that I have a chance of a good sleep the next night. It doesn't always work. I also have relaxation exercises on an MP3 which I tend to not use these days, goodness knows why

Jojo's mentioning the tapes remind me that sometimes, I just say "sleep, sleep, sleep....." again and again, with my breath. When my mind wanders, I just go to the mantra. It's the equivalent of counting sheep.

My nieces and I were joking that it must be hormonal because every man we know just falls asleep. :lol: That's not exactly true, of course.

Good Morning Ladies:)

Had to put the A/c on in the bedroom in order for me to sleep,my bed the other night look like I had a wrestling match in it.My friend Mary is having the same problem sleeping at night. She thinks is the humidity and the full moon that causing us to do so.

I'm going out to get my working done before the humidity comes back in.Like to get back to my 2 miles/30M . I'm only a 1/2 mile away. I got my hip brace from Harriet Carters catalog yesterday and I'm going to wear it today while walking. It seems like the doctor is correct when he mentioned that I'm favoring my left leg and that's the reason my right hip is hurting.Hopefully it will work.

I guess we all have sleep problems, I have sleeping pills also but I don't like to take them as they get you draggy in the morning.

RHONDA-I really feel sorry:sorry: for you people living in the south with those wicked temps. I thought it would break by now.


SANDRA- Congrats on :cheer3:your loss.At least you lost the 1.4 that's a start.

JOJO-You lost 4 lbs,maybe your body is resting before the next loss. I know that's what they used to say at the WW meeting.My doctor told me at one time that I'm giving my body mixed signals by walking too much. He told me to walk 3 x's a week but I do 5 and rest on the weekend. I'm losing about 1/2 a lb a week but I'm eating less. Just a thought.



Have a great day

I slept horrible last night too. Cleaning lady is here now. I'm too ashamed to nap while she's here. It's date night....so I'm looking forward to that.

What's with us? I slept horribly last night, too.

Rhonda, I'm hiding in your luggage. Let me out after we set sail. You two have a great time.

Vickie, enjoy date night. Curtis and I have lunch dates every now and then. Today may be one of those days.

Maryann, even during 100+ temps, I normally use my heated mattress cover. That seems to help my aching joints.

Ya'll have a good day. Let's get some good sleep tonight.

This is Antique Alley weekend. I think I have talked about it here before. It's over 20 miles of garage sales, flea markets. Traffic can be extremely congested and dangerous. Yesterday a lady was run over and killed while at her mailbox. Sad.

Sandra..I should look into a heated mattress pad..I plan to keep the house cold this winter to save money and just heat the bathroom up when I shower. I like to sleep in the cold as long as my bed is warm ..


I slept awful last night too. Usually once I get to sleep , I sleep great.
My cat sleeps at the end of the bed and never wakes me but last night she pestered me all night. Then I woke with a headache. Now I am waiting on my car to be serviced . I thought I heard a clunk between gears...so I am wondering how expensive this could be ..

The lady that was going to tile my bathroom free was in a traffic accident and has hurt her back.. I am taking food over .. I may just hire it out because I will feel better when that bath is put back together..Vickie..I know you can appreciate that.. My thoughts are that even when her back is better , she will be behind with things..

Just realized this post sounds gloomy , but really I am feeling better emotionally and plan to deep clean my house this afternoon.

A friend recommended the book .. Same kind of Different as Me
She said it was great..I ordered it and hope it comes in time for my beach trip next week.

Same Kind of Different as Me is great! Do read it.

Nancy, that's a good idea to go ahead and get your bathroom completed. I'm sorry your friend got injured.

Thanks Tejas and Maryann. Good advice and I shall certainly follow it.
We are glued to the TV this morning, and probably all day; following the rescue attempt of the four trapped miners. One body has been found overnight so things are looking a bit bleak. I know Pontardawe well, I used to visit there when I was a little girl.
