Sassy- Oh no, you didn't offend me...I was also joking about the old lady bike. But then I thought, on the other hand I am an old lady. LOL I know joking sometimes doesn't come across that way on a post, but I take most things that way and it would take a lot to offend me. I am usually looking at the humor in things. So no worry!

Jane- Mom had bought me a big gel seat for my old bike and although the new bike had a large seat DH put the gel seat on for me. I said to him "Oh, now I have 2 big seats." Then I looked around to make sure no one was laughing. The pioneer dresses are precious as are the GD's. I bet they had fun.

Rennie- Have a fun week-end..sounds busy!

Trish- Oh, I envy you your vacation too. Have a good time and be safe.

Marti- How did the Halloween shopping go? I kept thinking I would get some scarecrows to decorate the porch, but things happened and I didn't gt to Hobby Lobby. Maybe tomorrow... Hope you have a nice week-end also. (oh I know you will with Jhanai there)

Cristina- You are amazing gal with all your walking and working out. I have gotten off track for a couple weeks, but hope to be back in the groove this week. I am up to 4 miles a day on the bike and hope to get back up to 7 or 8 soon. It is a little harder to pedal than the old one was, (before it got very hard to pedal) but I am loving it.

Tammy- I love my Crystal Light peach tea, but doubt I would with vodka in it. I am more a rum or amaretto type person...hmmm, amaretto in peach tea???...nah. Well, maybe on a bad day. hahaha

I need to get off here and get busy. I have Mom's clothes in the dryer and need to throw mine in the washer. Got her bed changed and picked up her room and bathroom. Fixed breakfast and Mom actually ate...yay. She is feeling better today and has not been sick. I finally got the Dr. to call in a new nausea script for her and she was able to eat a little dinner last night also.
SO...like I said yesterday...I do think it will be a better day today.

I have been excited about my backyard feeders...we had 2 Downy woodpeckers and 2 Hairy woodpeckers this week. Also 3 nuthatches have taken up residence. With all of the goldfinch and chickadees we are having a ball watching them.

Sorry to be so chatty...can you tell I feel good?

Hello ladies,

Thank you all for the comments about the girls in their dresses.

Cristina - Josh will be home before you know it! Oh, Cristina, I'm so happy for you! I remember how glad I was when Katie came home, and she was only in Florida. He'll love the shirts and banner. I'd have never thought of that - you're very creative. Btw, you can talk about your muscles here all you want, lol.

Trish - YW for the encouraging words. We help each other like that here. Yay - glad you're looking forward to being with family and friends. Hope your DD has internet so you can check in with us, too.

Sassy - awww, well, the job just wasn't meant to be. As Trish said, someting even better will probably come along. So sorry about your grandpa's leg. Come here and talk about it all you need to.

Sue - hope you have a better day today. Glad to read your mom's doing better and eating more. Bet you're fixing all her favorites, aren't you? We also have strange birds stopping by, on their way south.

Mindy - ok, you've been gone long enough now. Time to give us an update on the kiddos.

Marti, PJ, Tammy, Rennie, Jules, Mary Kate, Kathy, Ellen, a big hello to you!

Weigh in today is 1 1/2 more down, so that makes 11 since I began again, and 32 from my highest weight. Today, I'm taking cooked cinnamon-Slenda apples with me to Caylin's birthday party because I don't want to waste points on a cupcake, and I l-o-v-e those apples. Gotta have a plan, right?

Hope you're having a good weekend. I'll try to bbl.

Hello ladies!

JANE...WTG on the loss this week! You are doing GREAT!

RENNIE...I love that! Kids...lol. Enjoy your weekend!

TRISH...glad you decided you are going to have a good time!

SUE...glad your mom is feeling better and eating! You'll get used to your new bike in no time at all. And I'm not amazing at all...I think I just finally woke up and decided to get with the program, lol. But thank you!

SASSY...sorry to hear about your grandpa and the job. But hey, if you guys really want to move why not check into other possibilities. There has to be more jobs right? Woohoo, new glasses! But hey, I like the Sally Jesse look, lol! Cheer up missy

Hi to everyone else

Nothing much going on today. Went for my walk. Going to get in some much needed reading. I have so many books I want to get read but haven't been in the mood. Then there are lots I want to buy but I promised myself I wouldn't until I get at least most of my unread books read! I went crazy a while back buying books I wanted, not at one time mind you. But I would buy one or two here and there, now I have too many to read. I guess you really can't have too many, can you, lol? The used book store is a bad place, lol! it cracks me up that people trade their books in...brand new books and I can get them for $3-$6, well some, and they are not paperbacks. They do have the newest books too. Barnes and Noble is another bad place for me, lol. Okay, blabbling now...

Have a good weekend ladies!
