Hey! Grab a coffee and join me on the deck. It's gorgeous out there and the Girls are very frisky and loving this morning. It really cooled down overnight. I even had to put on a blanket after sleeping with a sheet or even no sheet over me.

I don't have to go to the Fair until noon, barring emergencies, so plan to do some gardening (alias weeding!) and will get to the Library too.

What's on your agenda for this lovely Saturday morning?

Evening Chickies

Hi Ruth - the library sounds nice.. hope your day is lovely!

I just finished the new Harry Potter this afternoon... now it is back into the university books - we start lectures again next week.

We are moving house.. not to crazed about all of the packing, but we are really getting rid of lots of stuff - which is wonderful!!!! The new house is great as well... totally surrounded by parkland with wonderful walking trails and play gyms for my daughter...

Can't wait to get moved and get back on Phase 1...

[Schatzi]

Oh what a Beautiful Morning ..Oh what a Beautiful Day! It's cool here and the birds are chirping along with this Morning Lark!

In a while Crocodiles!

[Get'n Serious]

No wine, no whine. I was good and down .5 this morning. Happy me!

Ruth, I'll have to emerge from my air conditioned shelter here to see if it's cooled down at all. What a week it's been!

At least 2 more parties this weekend, but nothing I can't handle. There should be SBD-friendly stuff at both of them.

Have a great OP day/weekend ladies.

Wake up, Bamie!!

Hey, girls.

Ruth, it is BEAUTIFUL out there! I woke up at 3 am a little chilly, turned over to DH's side of the bed, and discovered I was sleeping with a nine-year. I thought he was dead. He didn't have any blankets on, was lying flat and straight out on his stomach, and he was cold to the touch. I spent a frantic couple of minutes jiggling him until he moved. God, it's stressful being a parent. heh heh heh.

Artemis, we've missed you, hon! You know, I thought you'd "lost it" for a minute there with the "good evening" post. Sleep well.
Your new place sounds absolutely beautiful.

Sluggo, we'll define our language if you'll explain how it is that you each have a gun in your glove compartments/purses/night stand tables. (have I been watching too much Court TV online?)

Val, that's great news regarding the exercise! You almost (and I stress "almost") become addicted to it. It's like your body/brain is craving it.
Mine can't remember what it is at present, so I don't have that problem.

Kissy, I almost started a thread wishing you a Happy Wedding. I forgot that it's your business.
I hope it goes well this weekend!

Jenn, congratulations on getting rid of the "aquaintance"! Some people are just drains on our lives.
I once sent (I still can't believe I had the gall to do this) a "dear John letter" to a woman who thought we were friends. She was a real complainer, a dumper, and a very angry and agressive wife/mother/friend.
She was the reason I first got an answering machine years ago. I was stressed every day anticipating her calls.
I'll never forget the time her family invited ours over for dinner... she'd asked me to show her how to make bread in her kitchen. I took over all of the ingredients, proceeded to set up in her kitchen, and she said, "DON'T spill anything on the floor. DH just washed it."

We've got relatives (undesirables) coming in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to wizz around the house getting some stuff done before they come.
Funny how you could care less about the state of your house when it's people you REALLY love, but when it's people you can't stand, the house has got to be PERFECT!

So tell me. When your married BIL kisses the back of your neck when you're alone in the kitchen together, is that weird and sick and gross, or am I blowing things out of proportion?

[ellis]

Lydia, I missed your post... yay on the 1/2 pound! Be strong this weekend, girl!!

[Get'n Serious]

Ellis, I'd have to go with YES to all of the abpove on that one! DH brother or sister's hubby?

[pearshape]

Hey ladies! I posted a long post earlier replying to everyone personally but I don't see it anywhere!! Oh well! I'm down 2 lbs..woo hoo!!! I just changed my ticker to one lb though to see if it sticks when I weigh on Monday! After my stall I just really needed to see that dang thing move in the right direction. It's amazing how hard it is to make the scale go down but its oh so easy to let it go up.

I was sooo hungover this am...from only 1.5 cosmos last night...guess my tolerance is down due to lack of alcohol in the diet ! Well, I've already drank 24 oz of water to rehydrate myself and am feeling much better!

I've decided to go on to P2....very carefully. Just one fruit and low GI starch..no bread, it's a trigger for me. I ate a mango this am and am waiting for my broccoli, egg substitute cheesy thing to finish baking.

Have a great day on the beach and don't get sunburned!!!

[beach bum]

Yipeeeeeeeeee Chickes

I can finally walk along the beach this morning now that we have cooler temps.Missed my walks,always relying on my tapes and my bike.

Just a quick note. Wild child is in rare form even for her. Going back to phase 1 has helped me get back on track. I'm starting to drop some weight but I'll wait until tomorrow to change my ticker.

[ellis]

DH's brother, Lydia. shudder.

[Get'n Serious]

Ewwww. Did you tell him? I would.

[ellis]

I did tell DH. He was not impressed, but I decided not to make an issue of it. However, he won't catch me alone again. creepy, slimey little bugger.

[KO]

Artemis How did you like Harry? I'm reading for the second time!
Beach Bum I'm jealous I'm craving going down the shore!
Ruth I'm glad you had some fun doggie time this morning! I miss my dog (he lives with mom)
