Hi everyone!

I've been doing ok. the pollen is kicking my *** too.

I caught the tabby. I tried to bring him into the vet today but he tried to bite me when I was trying to get him from the crate into the carrier. He ended up getting loose but we were able to get him back into the crate. We're going to try again tomorrow to get him into the carrier for a trip to the vet.

At this point I think all I can do is get him fixed and release him. He's totally wild. I wish I could help him more. I will leave food out for him after he's healed up and released back into the neighbhorhood.

woooo hoo its the weekend! altho i have to say I am really enjoying my new job! Yeah the speaking thing/orientation went ok.. one of the supervisors from another dept said I did a great job better than some of the ones who have been there for a while... {head swelling here} cuz I gave out handouts... guess they diddnt realize my plan of attack was that if u are handing things out you dont have to talk as much hahahahahahahaha

then at lunch time my friend suprized me and popped by work and took me to lunch

gotta run a few errands today.. pick up some more protein powder at GNC, cuz there is no way ... i can eat anymore boiled eggs for breakfast... UGH think i maxed out on the boiled egg thing... now just the smell of them makes me feel ill! so i usually just mix up the protein powder and drink it on the way to work .. and lots of times I just mix another for lunch...


think thats probably the only thing that has saved me from gaining a zillion pounds... while i have been going thru my lazy phase hahaha

yeah Dee time walking will work or pm me your mailing address think i have a zillion pedometers around here ... ummmmm someplace.. lol i will send ya one

you would be amazed just how much u walk during your normal day..


Val are u hitting the benedryl too? the pollen (crossing fingers) seems to have calmed down a bit here... but soon it will just change to the grass pollen instead of the trees!!!

my neighbor is ticked cuz my lil outside peach tabby... is after her birds.. she has 15 bird feeders in her yard!!!! I told her she shouldnt put out a buffet for him! she didnt find the humor in it tho....

ok lets see today I have to go put my time in at our "relay for life yard sale" not taking any money with me cuz I dont wanna end up doing more buying than selling lol... so far our team has raised over $12,000 and we are..... drum roll please #1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am looking forward to the relay on June 9th this year our theme is hawaii!!!


Have a great day !!!! hugs to all

[curlylocks]

hey guess what? we raised $1600.00at our yard sale today!!!

[Valerie Joy]

Wow that a lot of money curly!!!

[curlylocks]

Well this is some sucky news the lady who runs my Ladies Workout express has 2 of them and has decided that on June 2nd she is closing down the one near me!

a few months ago the curves closed down... so I guess I will have to go back to Jazzercise or find some new exercise! at least my contract runs out in July so I wont get stuck paying for too long before my contract is over.. with gas the way it is I really dont wanna drive to the other Ladies Workout express that she has... tho there has been some talk about someone buying her out and keeping the one near me open??

[Valerie Joy]

Aww that stinks Curly! I still miss curves but they were just too expensive.

[curlylocks]

Hi girls!


Well I checked out a gym that is around the corner from my work, maybe thats what I need a "real gym" to get my backside back in gear! looks interesting they offer kick boxing, yoga, pilates, and spinning ! right now that all sounds very tiring (lol)

dont remember if i told u guys but my bf bought me 2 baby chicks at the farmers market.. which my dad is not too happy to have living in his yard... but i made a deal with a guy down the street who has a lil farm to pass them on to him when they are "chickens" he has all hens so the girls there will be happy when they move in!

Hope everyone is doing well... have a happy mothers day!

[Valerie Joy]

Hi Curly,

You should check out the new gym. Maybe you'll like it!

The chicks sound cute.


I released the feral cat today after getting him fixed and his shots. I hope I see him again. I'll be leaving food out for him.

I have two new foster kittens that have colds. Their names are Latte & Earl Grey. Earl Grey is very sick. I had him in the bathroom with steam. They are on antibiotics so hopefully they'll get better soon!

[curlylocks]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW they are 2 precious!

[iwmonn]

hi PIC's!

Val, those lil babies are precious! I'll say it again lol - I don't know how you can let them go. If I tried fostering, I know I'd have like 30 cats lmao. *a big pat on the back for you*!!

Curly~ I sure hope those lil chicks aren't roosters!! or maybe they are? All I know is the neighbors rooster is a noisy lil bird. They call him Turkey, we call l him STEW! *grumble* especially at 5 frickin 15 in the morning
GJ on the sale! You really are a giving soul! You seem to be constantly raising money and/or awareness for so many good causes! *Pat on the back for you too*

so.... my weight keeps going up up up.... but this week it went back down a little bit... I think I'm just stressing so much about not knowing what's happening with my job. I keep telling myself not to stress cuz whatever happens happens. There is nothing I can do about it till the store sells and new owners come in. Yesterday I was down 4 from the last time I weighed. up down all around blah blah blah blah.......
****I may be inna slump, but I'm nevah gonna give up!!!!!****

hugs and loves to you all!!!! (Petra?!?! Angel!?!?!) and how about any and all LURKING Pics!?!?! Come out come out wherever you are! heheh don't I sound like Glenda, the Good Witch? OK OK OK Peace-out ladies...

[Valerie Joy]

Hi ((((Dee)))

I understand about stress causing you to eat more. I'm sure I would want to do the same thing in your situation. Try not to worry to much!

My kittens are still sick. Poor little babies. It's so sad to see them wheezing and sneezing.

[curlylocks]

I went thru that with all 3 of my outside kitties.... lasted for @ 2 weeks..

hey I am making progress today I walked into the gym to find out how much it costs!!!

haha i have to help raise the $ cuz I dont have any to give them !!! plus its fun ! not much to do around these parts unless u are a drinker.. i bet we have more bars per square mile than anywhere on the planet .. and I gave up my membership in the hangover club @ 13 yrs ago! as u can imagine that was one **** of a hangover.. cuz i said if i live thru today... I WILL NEVER DRINK AGAIN!!! and i havent!


well on the bright side.... you are not up up like 30 lbs so we can consider this hiatus ummmm learning to maintain!!! yeah that sounded good ... says the girl who keeps gaining and losing the same 4 lbs

p.s. they are both roosters!!!!

[angel-eyes]

Hi girls!!! Finally I have a moment where I can get on the computer!!! Having boys old enough to want computer game time is cramping my style. I have been OP but under major MAJOR stress at work. My review is due and and since sales in general (store wide) are down....looks like pay cuts are inevitable. Not sure though, but I'm worried.....rumor has it being activated soon. On a high note.....my boys competed in a karate tournament on Saturday and although a lengthy wait all day.....finished with medals!!! WHO KNEW?? Dh comes home tonight after a 4 day road trip....so that will be good **wink wink**

curly.....I must have missed something...YOUR boyfriend?...DETAILS PLEASE!

iwmonn.....I agree with curly....the yo yo game is a killer, hang in there and I share your stress but like you said, its out of your hands.

val......those kittens are cute. Hope they get better!

[curlylocks]

Iv'e got babies! 6 of them! 2 calicos, 2 gray & white, 1 gray tabby, & 1 peach....they all have long silky hair like persians!!!

and 4 have potential homes already!!! I didnt even know they were there till yesterday... they look to be 4-5 weeks old.. and soooooooo cute!

one thing for sure... the mommas are headed to the spay clinic!

[Valerie Joy]

Hi Angel! Glad you could check in!

Curly the kittens sounds adorable. I'm already dreading the day my kittens go to their new homes.

Can you take a picture. I'd love to see the babies!
