Happy Saturday!!!!!
Just got back from the park. DH had a BBQ for his Emergency Response Teams. It was nice to see all their families. The weather was great. Alittle breeze and fall is in the air. Maybe 75 and no humidity. It would be great to have some rain but can't have everything. I am sure some of you would like to share.

Deb: I am doing ok. There is so much going on in our personal lives that soemtimes I just want to hide in a corner. It will get better. It has to. :) I have been doing great with my eating. It isn't totally SB but it is working. We have cut out all starch carbs for awhile. We are still eating protiens, lots of veggies, cheeses. I will probably add some fruit this week. I have to get into a routine for walking and am having the hardest time. Maybe this week. I know you told me I could print the Smiles list but when I open it up there isn't a tool bar that allows me to. Any suggestions?

Jack-K: Hope your computer doesn't have too much damage.

Well I though this was going to be a longer post but my DH fixed me dinner and it is ready. Got to go.

Checking in to say hello to the ladies who've been awol. It's great to see you all posting! I'm still busy with my class. This teaching all day, being a mom, and trying to do homework is really getting the best of me. One good thing about DH working out of town during the week is I don't have to cook at night. The girls just get their own supper and I can get my work done.

BOB: My son said that Navy-Marine Corp Stadium is cursed and I'm beginning to believe him. They try hard, but they have a very long way to go, even with Coach Johnson. It's hard for a future Naval officer to match up to the 300 lb. plus linemen that play football at Division I schools these days. I haven't even been able to find the ArK score. We had a Navy parents' club meeting tonight.

Later Ladies (Daramus, where are you???)

Your kids are Cutie Patooties :)

I found the Agave at Natures Way Health Food store.
What I've been doing is going into every heath type store I see and this time I lucked out.

Hi,

I thought we would have sunshine for a least a couple of days but it looks like rain again. Oh well, I guess I won't be tempted to play outside when I still need to finish with housework. My husband grilled some chicken breasts and he did a really good job of keeping them moist. He fixed enough so we will have easy meals for a couple of days. I will just prepare some Swiss Chard from the garden and maybe a baked sweet potato..Yummm.

BOB: Thanks for telling me about the Forge Mountain Jellies. I looked on their website and it looks very interesting. We will certainly go there the next time we are in Hendersonville, which we do about once every week or so.

Hey everyone! Here it is Sunday, and I have not been on since Tuesday. That was the day something weird happened to my DSL, and it has not worked until last night when my husband spent two hours on the phone with the tech support people. I only checked email..and that seemed so slow it was pathetic! It looks like rain again here...(scream) Thankfully there was no flooding around here, except perhaps my front yard! And of course the pool, which came within a half inch of overflowing! Anyway, hopefully, I will be back with more regularity next week!

Jack-K--I’m 5’ 3” so I can easily do with just 120 pounds. In fact, anything much over that is still too heavy for me. I used to weigh 106 when I was in my 30’s and I looked Go-o-o-o-d! At 120, with weight training, I looked pretty good too. So that is my goal.

I just got back from Gainesville and have not read through all the posts, but I bet you had a wonderful time at the FSU-UL game. We in Gainesville thought it was a great way to start the weekend. Even with all the rain you had, it would have been worth it to see that wonderful victory y’all had. We played UK and had great weather. That is, no rain, but very hot. We tried to pull a UT and lose the game. Our special teams were so bad and that ineptness cost us 27 points. UK has a really good team though, and played with a lot of heart. I hope they run the table now.

BOB--You can pull for UF now when they are not playing UT. The visor man isn’t there anymore, and we are “sister teams” in that we both are in the SEC. I can understand how you feel about the UT-UF game. UT wasn’t doing all that great against Rutgers, but we were so happy they pulled it out. Go SEC! Did you get to see the UK-UF game. Our offense and defense actually is beginning to come together, but our special team stunk up the place. I think they turned over the ball 5 times! We need to find a punter.

Red1--Glad to see you back. Hope we can cheer you up.

TVthatsME--Normally the weather in Orlando is really nice. We usually open up all our windows sometime in October, because the weather starts to cool down a little. So, hopefully you will get some good weather. This year things have been a little different with all the rain we’ve been getting, and this weekend was stifling hot. I saw several football players at the game in Gainesville, which is 2 hours north of here, come down with cramps, which is usually an indication of dehydration. And I think they got dehydrated because the weather was so hot and muggy. Hope you get to see Fla. at it’s best when you come, with some nice breezes. Where are you staying at WDW?

MISSY--I’m so sorry that you won’t be coming to Gainesville. :( Maybe in 2 years when they play here again. LSU is our next home game and I know it will be awesome. LSU is doing so great! Gators will have a tough time and if their special teams play like they did yesterday, you all will win.

My eating was pretty good this weekend. Saturday was a little rough because we made the rounds of the other tailgate parties instead of having one ourselves. So many of them are fried chicken, baked beans, chips and cake. I ate a tiny (thumbnail sized) piece of chocolate brownie, and I also indulged in some wine. Also had some vanilla ice cream. Today though, I’m back on track. Started the day with shredded wheat ‘n bran with fresh peaches, and had a salad for lunch. I think my DH and I will take a nice long walk this afternoon. Our presentation about our trip to Cuba went real well. It lasted about 22 minutes and we seemed to keep everyone’s attention. I’m so glad it is over. Now I can concentrate on my exercise and other regular stuff that I had moved to the back burner.

We had a sad thing happen today. A wonderful friend of ours has been fighting a battle against prostate cancer which had spread into his femur. He was really struggling. We have visited with him and his wife, and we have called a bunch of other times to stay in touch when he was not up to having visitors. We called a couple of times today to see if we could come over to visit again, but got no answer. When we got home there was a message on our machine telling us that he died this morning. It was very sad for us. It’s very sad. We’ll miss him.

Gotta go. Everyone have a good day and I’ll see you next week.

Good evening everyone.....
Hope your Sunday was a good as mine. Started out with church, always a great time. My MIL and DD and DGD came over for dinner. Always a great time when the little one is here. She has so much energy. Went for a walk with her. It felt good to get out and walk. I want to try and walk every night. We will see what happens.

My DD has to go to court this wednesday. Wold you all remember her in your prayers. It will be the deteriming session for her child support and alomony and what type of visitation for our grandaughter. She has not been with her father very much and it is hard to believe that a court can say how much time he can spend with her when he doesn't spend anytime now. She doesn't even know who he is. thanks.....

BOB: WOW!! you got some good deals. The closest BIG LOTS to me is 90 miles away. I hope to get there before the holidays. I have heard there is alot of good stuff there.

Gator: Sorry to hear about your friend. It is always tuff loosing a friend.

SEe you all next week.....Cyndi
