Mornin'
 

Hiya ladies...

Lot's of posting since I was here last, always good to see!

SASSY...yay for the girl at work! That was sweet of your hubby to get you a book.

JULES...you are one busy lady! WTG on the paint! Hubby will just have to live with it, lol. The bathroom sounds pretty...I've wanted a purple bath for a while, more of a lilac...just think it is such a pretty color. Glad Teri is taking care of things with Dave...isn't that crazy though, that he's not even paying but she can't make him leave?

SUSAN...I think that movie looks cute, and wanted to see it myself, lol. I just like that little girl since seeing her in Signs...too cute! Let us know if it is good. I think I was just frustrated because of not enough sleep...just got crabby and I HATE started my day crabby because I swear it doesn't seem to get better.

TAMMY...ummm, let's just say, if you don't eat 'right' with the Alli you will get the side effects, lol...I did try it and still have 1/2 a bottle left, maybe a little more. I thought I was eating right and didn't have so much fat, guessing I was wrong! I was just afraid to eat anything. So decided I will just stick with what worked in the past. Happy Wedding Planning to you! Ours is off until next year :( Nothing like a day of being pampered, eh?

FRANCIE... aaahhh, young love :love: You're not losers, just a young couple in love, you and Fonzo are too cute! Lots of reading for you to do for sure...don't you love the old tattoos? Well, I do, lol. Cat lady...guess I missed that somewhere...don't know where my heads been.

ASIA...thank you and good luck to Andrew on his job in New Mexico. Enjoy the parade!

MINDEE...good grief woman, hope you managed to get some sleep. Sounds like a busy night you had.

SUE...hoping all went well at the doctors. I know you are busy with preparing for your guests.

Nothing much going on with me today. Going to spend some time on the puter since I know I probably won't be on tomorrow. Nothing special planned, just working in the yard with V. He'll be home for the next 3 days. We'll bbq some burgers & dogs tomorrow but no fireworks. Just not into the fireworks...I like watching them and will probably sit outside to watch them. There's a lot of people across town behind us that do the really big ones...the ones I am afraid of. And then of course there is V's boss that lives down the street about 6 houses...him and his neighbor always do them. V said he made a point of bragging to the guys at the morning meeting yesterday about spending $1500 on fireworks. Not sure why he felt the need to brag but whatever floats his boat. Now if Josh were home and they were coming over we would do some for the kids. Okay...kind of got sidetracked on my little rant...can you tell I am still a little crabby, lol.

Exercise is done, and done! Had to run to the store to get a couple of things I forgot yesterday and that's about it. Maybe I will get some reading done. I'll be back later...have a great day ladies!

Purple bathroom--I will be changing the shower curtain to a creamy one

Try to find the spider in the first pic--next two zero's it in....others are around the yard. The spider creeped me out...I had just taken a break and then went back to finish stacking what was left of the wood...

Last set of pics--Dominic for the last month or so, with the latest being the one in the bucket hat...

Sassy--it's always nice to have a few people that will stand up for you. My fortune cookie this weekend said "The best defense is a friend who has your back"

Cristina--Maryland is a crazy state.

Back for the next coat!!

OMG JULES! I immediately saw the spider...I HATE spiders! I would have freaked and would have ran into the house! Wouldn't go back out either until I had V kill it, lol! That thing was huge! Giving me the creeps thinking about it!

I think KS is the same...crazy/stupid laws here that don't make a darn bit of sense.

BEAUTIFUL bathroom! I love the color and the pics of Dominic are just too cute! I can't believe how big he is getting! I think my fav was the last one, the one where he was sleeping-looked so peacful, and the one with the bucket hat...he is adorable! So we saw the handsome grandpa and the pretty momma now where was the pretty grandma?

Anyway, was still on and thought I would check back before signing off and moving elsewhere, lol.

Have a GREAT day!

Tammy~I wanted to try Alli, but I chickened out. The side effects is just something I don't want to experience.

Asia~Since you work at Petsmart, I have a question for you. Do they sell anything that will sedate cats?? We're going on a long time from AZ to MD..and we wanna sedate them for the first day.

Jules~LOVE the bathroom!! Omg, I totally want a bathroom painted in that color now. I'd have everything else sorta pink in it, lol. If we have a place with more than one bathroom, then I wanna claim one as my own and totally girly it out. Fonzo would probably take over the other one and have it all guyish, lol. I didnt look at the pic w/the spider. Spiders freak me out big time. A Native American museum!! Wow, that sounds pretty cool. I went to one in Az once. And during certain time, they'd come out and do some cool dances. What is the Spy museum?? Fonzo might like something like that.

Sassy~Oh heck ya!! Thats so awesome that the chick stood up for you!! Shoot..she should've punched that other stupid woman in the face!! But hurting them with words is a lot better.

Cristina~I have a ton of reading to do. The books I bought yesterday are just little side books. I actually have like..3 other books left to read. (The Host, The Beach House, and The Golden Compass-but thats like 3 books in one). I'm still not done with Fearless Fourteen. I just dont have a lot of time to read anymore, lol. By next week, things should calm down. Yes, I love old tattoos. I found one that I really want!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm gonna change it up a little bit, lol.



Well..nothing much to say right now. It's thundering here!! Exciting!!! It's been 3 years since I've heard thunder, lol. We always see lightening, but never thunder. I'm so loving it. Well..it wake me up today, but thats okay, lol. I think the raining stopped..which is good. I still wanna have our cook out today!!! I'm soooooooooo hungry right now, I'm thinking of waking up Fonzo right now to go get some charcoal and some yummy drinks.


Anyways..I shall go now. TTYL!!

Cristina--all my hubby says was that I was a lot bigger than the spider and when I took the broom out to get it off the log he didn't want me to kill it... Grandma is the one who takes the pics....

Francie--the Spy Museum was really cool..Ry made me crawl throught a duct and spy on people...it was fun..I will see if I can find you a link(http://www.spymuseum.org/)...I love thunder and lightning storms...always have

Guess what...after all the witchin..hubby likes the paint job...says it looks really good...go figure...I have just a bit to finish up and then I am done for now. I have alot of paint left so I think some other time I will paint the paundry room and the halway to the kids old vedrooms and the new purple bathroom. I am going to paint Teri's old room the Sky Blue that he picked out..there might be enough to do Ry's old room too. He cut more wood so I have to unload it and stack it...I wonder how many calories I have burned this week....I am not keeping up with my steps though...

alright, I got two windows open so I can respond without losing anything this time!

nothing really new on this end......just a typical day with no body taking a nap.....at least the boys didn't....I hope Marissa did! another rough night with Brandon and his sleep again. he was up again at the same time, but I left him in his room, and after 3am I was able to go to bed without any tag-a-longs. so I gave in and poured myself a coke so I had that extra little bit of caffeine to keep me awake!

the boys are watching the movie "Firehouse Dog" right now. we caught it in the middle of it, so I am sure that they will want to watch it again the next time it is on.

Asia~ Good luck at losing the 20 pounds while Andrew is away! That will definitely be a nice surprise to come home to! what does the apple cider vinegar help with? I saw that you mentioned that you take it, so I was just curious.

Francie~ Who is the writer of the tattoo book? I have three myself, and I love looking at designs.

Jules~ I love your new avatar!

Sassy~ That is great news about the lady standing up for you! that is also awesome that your hubby got you that book!!! was that the episode where Dr Oz did the hypnosis thing to find out about his past lives?

Cristina~ I got some sleep.....but like usual, it is never enough! last night was pretty much the same, BUT I didn't end up with a tag-a-long.

Jules~ That is a great color for your bathroom!!! OMG......that is one creepy spider! Although, I don't think that classifies as a spider, I think that is a tarantula! My goodness is he getting big!!!!

Mindee--Dominic loves that thing..My mom bought him a walker at the apartment...Teri says it funny to watch the baby chase the cat that is chasing the dog..Ry wants her to do a you tube video.....There was a bigger spider in my bathtub one morning...I screamed and hubby was like what..I said a spider...he went back mumbling and all I heard was OMG. AN elderly lady I know swears by apple cider vinegar--takes a tablespoon (I think) a day..she said it's good for what ails you...the bathroom color is darker than I wanted, but I think once I put in a lighter shower curtain it will be better...

out to stack wood again...

Hiya ladies...

Back again for a few minutes before getting off the puter for the day.

JULES...glad Jerry liked the paint after all. And I had to take a look at that spider again, lol. Still can't believe how big it is. Is it a wolf spider...I saw on some show that they get pretty big but not sure about that size. I forgot to mention...I like your garden area and flowers...I have some of the purple ones on my porch...can't even think of what they are called, lol. And next time...let the daughter or hubby take some of you! :D I too love the new avatar...he is quite the cutie pie!

SUSAN...thinking of you & miss you when you are not here :hug:

MINDEE...you made me think of Charlotte saying yesterday how when they decide to have a baby how she is going to miss her sleep, lol. They plan on having two to add to the two she/they have.

FRANCIE...not to bud (edited: lol...my thoughts and fingers were not working toegther..I was thinking butt in but for some reason typed bud...just saw that) in but I too am curious about something to sedate my doggy. We tried some liquid stuff from the pet store and it did not work...he hates the thunder and fireworks, makes him a total mess and stresses the poor dog for days! Thinking you might have to get something from the vet. I did once on a trip with our dog (different dog) from CA to AR. Just really calmed her down for the trip but she was aware of things going on and when we would stop she was ready to get out and stretch like us. I've got some side books going to, lol...the Biggest Loser ones...hoping to get some motivation and get back on track with losing weight!

Well, ladies...guess I am outta here for now. Have two shirts to iron before heading up. Going to do a little bit of reading before Jeopardy and the news and then who knows what...probably cook some dinner.

Have a good rest of the day!

EDITED: Jules...a spider bigger than that one, OMG! I think I would die! I freak over little bitty ones and couldn't imagine seeing something like that in my tub. Oh, and you definitely are getting quite the workout!

You are sweet Cristina, thanks! I am just busy, maybe I will catch up later on all the post! I love the avatar Jules, Dominic is a beautiful little boy.

Hope you all are having a good day. Managed to get 2 miles walked and make my soup. I seem to eat 1 thing until I am sick of it and move on to something else. haha. I ate pickled beets, turkey meat and low fat cottage cheese for a year back in 2000 to lose weight. :D Cool , huh?

Bought Gaby some shoes yesterday because the ones she was wearing were so stinky. In the heat her feet sweat, ick. So, this morning I put deoderate on the bottom of her feet. Hope that works.......:dizzy:

ok, random thought.

chat later.

just doing my nightly pop in.....

Tommy made some rice krispie treats to take to my parents house tomorrow. I told Brandon that the place we are going on our "surprise" ride has a pool so we have to take our suits with us. so, then all I heard was "surprise" for the next 5 minutes after that!

he has picked up a lot of words since school. now, we just need to get the insurance hammered out and get him into the ENT.

omg - I just realized 7 years ago on the 4th of July I found out I was pregnant w/ Gaby. I wasn't married to her father ,I was married to The R's dad (course we had been seperated for 16 months, I mean it wasn't like we were getting back together :dizzy:.
It was very depressing. I remember laying on the couch w/ the drapes drawn and listening to the parade go by......it started by my house because I lived by the park. ......blah blah.
anyway, just remembered that......

Mindee- Be safe tomorrow driving. Cute about Brandon, what is ENT?

Francie - Do you ever watch Animal Planet? Gab and I did the other night and there was a rescue of this apt where there was 60 cats inside! Anyway - don't know why I am telling you this, just my cat story....:) Hope you and Fonzo have a wonderful 4th!

Sassy - I am glad someone stood up for you at work, that is sweet.

Jules - haven't seen the pictures yet because I need a different browser or some darn thing. Sounds like you have been busy painting, can't wait to see the pictures. Hope you come out in Aug, that would be so great!

Asia - Enjoy the parade tomorrow! You are doing really good w/ your walking, I am impressed.

Cristina - I laughed when you said whatever floats his (V's) boat in regards to the $1500 fireworks. .....and when you wrote ....."and then who knows what. ((talking about what you are going to do in the evening))..probably cook some dinner." I thought it was cute. Have fun tomorrow w/ the family!

Sue - How are you?? I hope you have a fun 4th.

Katy - What are you doing?? Was that you walking in the village the other morning at 9am??? This mind wants to know... :)

:wave: Tammy

I have no plans for tomorrow. Gab will be picked up in the morning by her father and stay w/ him til Sunday morning. I am sure the R's have plans, McD wrote me today so maybe we will hang out tomorrow night and catch up.

I guess that is it. Chat later.
