Has everyone melted? I just finished lunch and am getting the food ready for dinner. Jim and I are back from the store and buying the 95% FF sirloin burgers. I'm all ready. They think they'll be here at 4:30 and the thinking is that we will eat first and then swim. I may surprise them and try to have things going before they get here. The NIL was going to have to start the fire but I think I can do it.
I'm considering going into the pool for a while soon and vacuuming a bit more. Then I'll come in and shower and clean up a bit before they come.
I hope you're all having great on program days. I have to go modify my menu.
Hi all, I haven't had time to read but just wanted to pop in and say hi. Our friends with the baby are coming over this afternoon for a cookout (yes, we FINALLY bought the grill!!). They'll be here in about 45 minutes and I still have to go to the store. I hope that you all have a great day!
Hi everyone, I am just checking in for a few min before I have to get ready for work. Last night was an easy night at work and I am hoping tonight will be the same. Sunday nights sometimes are crazy. I think people go to the ER and hope to get admitted so they won't have to go to work Monday morning! Oh well, after tonight I am off until Thurs night so I should be able to get most of the boxes moved this week. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone.
hi there. i just came in from working in the rosebeds. it's h-o-t out there. i'm going to take a shower and settle in with a good movie in a bit. i just had to get here for a sec first to see what's going on with all of you.
we went to lunch today at a new restaurant called fat cat. i had a spicey catfish wrap. two wraps and about a cup of mexican rice came on my plate. i ate one wrap then unwrapped the 2nd and ate just the inside. now that's something for me to do that. not typical at all.
later we rode our bikes at the park but just for 10 minutes. curtis didn't want to ride any more in the heat.
kathy, don't you just hate it when you can't sleep? i had a few nights like that when i first started taking my meds. now i sleep like a log.
vickie, i'm glad you can be a good support for your friend. she's lucky to have you. your pool sounds really really good. wish i could dive in right now.
losing, that sounds like an excellent idea. i had never heard of it before. thank you for explaining. okay, here's another question: i read your sig. are you saving according to pounds lost or what? i like the idea of saving for a new wardrobe. (sexy wardrobe that is) oh, yes. i know someone from guelph. met her on another board a few years ago.
vickie, you're welcome to come here for fish, but do you have a toaster oven? you could cook it outside. i do that a lot so i don't smell up the house.
> "I went crazy with eating yesterday, and it was half intentional." angela i got so tickled when i read your post. hmmmm wonder if sometimes food falls accidentally into our mouths? i'm glad you got it out of your system.
kathy, i remember 1980 well. i had a t-shirt that said "i survived the summer of 1980."
vickie and melissa, enjoy your cookout parties.
hi, paula. i hope you have an easy night and can get some rest. you've been sooooo busy lately with the moving. do you know when you'll be settled?
Hey all,
It is a super hot day here today too. The local weather says the high was 92, right now it is 90 but "feels like 94" according to their website. Whatever it is it's way to hot to grill out, which we did. And we did it too early really, it wasn't very shady or breezy, and no pool like Vickie! But we had to do it early so the baby could go home and get to bed.
Kathy, I'm so sorry about your uncle, and I'm also sorry that you won't be able to go to the funeral. But I hope your family will be understanding. I hope that you are resting and preparing for your extra-busy week.
Vickie, the potluck turned out okay. The salads all seemed fairly healthy. The chocolate fountain that was for dessert, however, was not.
Sandra, you're doing great. Exercise and eating well!! What's gotten into you?
Frouf, on how well you've done. You're really inspiring all of us!
I hope that all of you have a great evening. We haven't had any time just to chill today, so that's what I'm going to do. Plus finish laundry and get ready for work tomorrow. Yuck.
I am getting The Stare. Judd keeps walking by the bedroom door, stopping, and just looking at me. He's campaigning for that darn dog ... and I am saying NO WAY. He said "we'll see about that." Ha! If he thinks he's going to get it with me not wanting it, he had better rethink it.
I made fried chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and corn for them. I couldn't see going outside to grill. I could turn on the oven and open the door and it still wouldn't heat the kitchen up as hot as the patio would be, so the kitchen won out. Melissa, it is currently 102 here at nearly 7 p.m. -- feels like 107. Well, THEY say it feels like 107, I think it feels more like 207!!
Oh and Judd talked to his brother in Colorado Springs today. It's 96 there, and they don't have an air conditioner. Brand spanking new huge honkin' house, and no a/c. I'm not sure how I'll stand that, even though they say the basement is cooler and that's where we will be. I guess I'll try it.
I have to go clean up the kitchen now. Everybody stay cool!
Shew Kathy! I can't imagine how hot it is there.
And that puppy is absolutely precious. I don't know how you could see it in person and not take it home. Watch out!
melissa, i'm sorry you got roasted outside. it's hot here, too. i did a little pruning in the rosebeds but i'm waiting till after big brother to go out and spray liquid fence. i guess my doctor is what got into me. he said, "lose the weight. your cholesterol is too high." well, actually my cardiologist told me back in january that i needed to lose about 40 lbs. but he didn't give me diet pills and he didn't tell me to go to ww and to bring him my ww card after a month. i go back to him the 25th. hope he wants me to lose some more. (there's no doubt really) i think i just needed some help from my doctor. i have been around the same weight losing the same 10 lbs over and over for more than 2 years. my ww leader told me i had maintenance down pat. i just was maintaining at the wrong number.
kathy, a lot of folks up here don't have a/c. we do thank goodness, but we still spend a lot of time in the basement. sounds like a standoff at your house. be tough.
Good evening everyone. I am on call again tonight. I just checked and they need to get 4 more admits before I will be called in. I told them I am not driving after 1 am so if they get more admits after that, I won't be there. It really gives me some time to pack. I almost have everything packed and ready to go.
It is 75 and breezy right now. Feels nice outside. I think we got up to mid 80s today.
Kathy, sorry to hear about your uncle.
Froufy, congrats on the pounds and inches lost.
I better get packing. Have a great evening everyone.
Well it's a scorcher here too - just got in and the breezes outside are still pretty warm - had the ac running in the car once I filled the tank with gas - stifling to drive without it! Just start sweating as soon as you step outside!
Paula - hope you are home - maybe resting?? and don't get called in to to work tonight - and exactly where is this sunday night emergency room and what do I have to do go get a 'room' for Monday? ha ha ha
Melissa - hope you had a nice picnic and found something to nibble on. How was the bbq - are you enjoying your new grill?
Vickie - I feel so sad for you - how difficult it must be for you and your gf - I think it's wonderful how supportive you are and able to distract her when needed. Hope you had a wonderful pool/bbq 'party'. ....and as for a slice of mutigrain toast with cream cheese? I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Kathy - I think the puppy is absolutely the cutest - and I know it must be hard to say no - but do stick to your guns - it will be a lot more work for you and frankly you're busy enuf - hope you got some rest today.
Sandra - congrats on your wonderful lunch out - and losing that extra wrap - shows your dedication.
I will accept all donations of corn - Iowa, Illinois - whatever - just send it my way!
Had a bad night - trouble falling asleep - then up from about 3-4:30 am - woke up at 8 feeling so very depressed and crabby! We managed to get out of the house by 10 am and to the garden centre! $252 dollars later I now have: a weeping peashrub, a ninebark wine shrub, 3 silver mounds, 1 purple bellflower, some pink coral bells, and some bone meal! I am still 'planning' but it was so hot out I gave up - I was moving the pots around the front yard here and there and just sweating - it was so hot out (and like high noon?).
Dh had to be at the pub where he was playing his gig at 2:30 pm - so dropped him and drums there then ds and I went to mall to get Sears package (nothing fit right by the way ) a bit of a walk around - ds wanted an ice cream (dq chocolate dip) and I controlled myself and had an iced cappuccino instead (made with 1% chocolate milk instead of the usual CREAM!!!).
Went home, showered, painted my toenails, put on some makeup and ds and I went to the pub for the 2nd set (5:30 - 700) - and I did not do well with the pub food! The greek salad was probably okay as was the diet pepsi - but I sure didn't need those zucchini sticks or the nibbles of fries from ds' basket. In fact all that greasy food is not sitting well with me right now!
Then off downtown to bluesfest - unfortunately no sitter for little ds so we didn't actually buy tickets ($25 pp) as we felt we couldn't stay late. So we stood by the fence and 'HEARD' the music - K.C. and the Sunshine band, Tavares, Sister Sledge and Gloria Gaynor - great music - but made me feel old as I remember it from 30 years ago!!! Left around 9:45 as ds was getting tired and home now with tired feet and a few more mosquito bites (at least they are NOT on my bum).
Back on plan tomorrow as I gathered up some 'snacks' to bring to work, and the gym bag is packed. Just hope this heat lets up a bit! Once the dryer buzzes I will fold then I'm done for the night!
I dread tomorrow - and I highly doubt the database will be all fixed, not yet time to break out the champagne I guess!
Another crazy Froufy day! Good grief, now I need a nap from it! My day was totally lazy compared -- I tried to go to the big Walmart for a few things and didn't get far before I lost interest and came back home. Cooked dinner, did two loads of dishes in the dishwasher (forgot to start it yesterday so there was no room for dinner dishes). Have folded all the laundry except for upstairs towels and now I'm ready for bed.
The alarm is set for 5:00 but frankly I might hit the snooze and just go when I feel like it. That'll mean a late night tomorrow but at this point I'd rather have the sleep tonight than get home earlier tomorrow. Who knows? At least I have clean clothes.
Also packed up for work tomorrow: grapes, strawberries and blueberries, light string cheese, crackers and hummus, and will make tuna when I get there. Oops, I'd better make a boiled egg tonight for the tuna. Shoot!
Alright, back to the kitchen. Ugh! I thought I was done! Okay, everybody have a good evening!
What a GREAT idea!!!
i'm glad you got it out of your system. 
But we had to do it early so the baby could go home and get to bed. 
on how well you've done. You're really inspiring all of us!
Yuck.
