Morning ladies! Quick check in this morning as I'm at the USO. Yesterday was a terrible day for food. I was all over the place, and the scale certainly showed how hard I didn't work. To today is all about staying clean on the program. After My shift at the USO I plan on cleaning the house, which is a wreck and then I'm going out with a dear friend for hopefully dinner & a movie while our DH's go to a haunted house. So that's it for now. I hope you all have a great Saturday!!!
ENJOY!!!!

Whoa- I am late! No time for this many personals right now, hopefully will get back to it later!
I am just about to start my "clean sweep" of the house. I was called off work to day so I figure that I will spend at least 4 hours heavy duty cleaning!(Throwing things I don't need out or getting them ready to sell!) I have been sooo clow at work and getting time off and I have *tons* of clothes most with tags still attached that I figure maybe could be supplemental income on Ebay :) lol
SO, I am 1 cup of coffee down, feeling good and ready to begin! Catch up with you ladies later!
Also on the agenda today is going to goodwill to see if I can find DH a gray suit-So he can be peewee for Halloween- LMAO

Would you believe I'm still in my robe and have not even washed my face!

My friend Ernie arrived shortly after I posted and we sat and drank coffee for a while and discussed the world financial crisis. Then my sister called to try and take over the whole funeral feast thing! Joan is the world's most efficient organizer. I am allowing her to bring a veggie tray, do a reading and bring me napkins and a centrepiece for the table. Being Joan she had to know what colour of dishes I was using. Then I finally tracked down the sender of a lovely flower arrangement. Do you know I have nine "Lindas" in my email addy list?

Just got a call from the local grocery asking what they could do. I told them a fruit platter would be lovely. I cannot believe all the support from real people and my online sweeties!

Now I MUST hop into the shower and get dressed. This is way too slothful!

Ruth, I'm so glad you have a lot of support you do!

Lori - Our kitty is a Maine Coon. His vet recommended bathing him every month to help him rid his coat of dead fur. It helps IMMENSELY with his hairballs. He used to toss his cookies (sorry, tmi) every other day or so, now...maybe once a month if that. He gets a coating of kitty conditioner after his baths and takes a fatty acid supplement to combat dry skin.

Laundry. Does it ever end?

Also, google hasn't been an answer to me. Is vinegar harmful to houseplants? It is a 5:1 (water:vinegar) combination.

zeff- are you watering your plants with vinegar?! lol

Actually, it's a good idea to flush the soil in your houseplants with a solution of 1/2 tsp. vinegar to 1 qt. of water every other week to get rid of accumulated salt.

Oh yeah, you're supposed to water houseplants. No wonder mine look like that...

I have given in and joined Facebook, though I have nothing on my page yet. PM me if you're really bored and want me to add you as a friend :)

*and for those who have been following the bread adventures - this week I used 1 cup of pumpkin in place of the oil and about half the water. I was a little worried doing that to our bread for the week but it is quite yummy.

Cyndi, you wanted pic... I have not had a chance to fix camera, here is one that looks just like Cody! same coloring and all!

Okay, now I have puppy envy :)

was funny, I brought him to local pet store for some food and collar (one he has is too small now)... and everyone was loving on him, poor Jade felt left out, but folks said hi to her....

When I walked in everyone was asking if I'd gotten him at the store, I said no, from breeder. When I got to the puppys they had some goldens... I've NEVER seen goldens in that store before. And whats more, the customers were loving Cody better than the ones for sale!

poor cody, had his second car ride today, and the entire time laid on the back seat with his head between Jade's but and the corner of the seat where the back meets the bottom where he was sitting! I've got to get him used to the car! Cause Jade and I love to go "bye bye" to the park, lake (where we went today) and what not! Poor thing is timid to new things....

OK, so my dad and I went to the bank to cash in my savings bonds..... turns out, they gain some interest, apparently. I came home with $1255.00. :yikes: I can't believe it! God surely does bless. Now Christmas is paid for and we can start planning for our new living room set!

Going to make some tea and finish watching Ghostbusters II. Have a good night!

Wow, I can't keep up with all the information on these threads.

Zeff- It's nice to meet you too! I'm sure I'll be here a while because I have a lot to lose :)

Ruth- So glad you have support nearby.

Lori- Your puppy sounds so sweet. I love the puppy stages. Nice when it's over, too. But I just love their silly faces. My 2 are a very prissy Chihuahua named Chai (like the tea) who thinks she's a cat and a goofy Yorkie named Jersey (of course).

Weezle- W00t w00t!!! Thats awesome, and I am so one to always say- everything will work out. Seems everytime I am down and out something will happen to brighten my outlook! Nice to happen around the holidays! :)
