well, we had a great fun filled Sunday!!!

we took the kids back out to the boat races, and we actually got to see some racing today! yesterday was all the qualifying and such.....so today was a lot of fun!

I am uploading almost 300 pictures to both myspace and facebook, so take a look and let me know what you think on them!

Hello everyone.

Just popping in really quickly as I have lots of stuff to get done before I start my new tomorrow.

Cristina I went to a babyshower yesterday, and I made DD come with me, as it was for a girl that I haven't seen since she was 3. Her mom and I used to be best friends from the time we were 3 until we were 11 when we moved, Saw her some years later, then found each other on facebook. Glad we went because alot of her family that said they would come didn't show up. Thought that was quite rude. There was a game they played there, they made 8 little paper towel diapers, then put melted chocolate bars in them and you had to guess what the chocolate bar was. Don't think anyone will be eating chocolate for a few days. Was funny though.

Sassy thank you. That was exactly what I needed to know. I was a little dissapointed in the HP movie, as they seemed to leave out a little more in this movie...but I will still buy it when it co mes out. I just hope they take their time doing the last movie. Glad you and hubby got a date night. Hugs for your work stress.

Mindee - You two will come up with the best plan about the house. The boat races look like fun. When do the kids start back to school?

Hey Francie did you go to your Twilight Convention yet?

Hi to everyone else.

The country music festival ended early due to a big accident. We had a freak storm that rolled in with no warning it was a mix between a hurricane and a tornado and the huge stage that takes a week to put up due to all the metal collapsed. Billy Currington was on stage and Kevin Costnar (didn't know he was a singer also) was about to go on. They had to cancel Sundays show. DD was so upset as she really wanted to see Tim Mcgraw. Wasn't really a Kevin Costnar fan, but he was out there helping the injured in the crowd, and he also visited them in the hospital. That is a real classy star.

I'll check back later. Have a great day.

just finished folding the laundry.....put the boys stuff away, also folded mine and Tommy's clothes....will put that away later.

we are supposed to go and look at the house tonight, but I don't think we are going to. there is no way that we are going to be able to afford to come up with rent for here for this month, and then an additional $1500 to hand over to the lady on the house. so, we are more than likely going to pass on the house for now and just stay here until early summer next year.

Kathy~ My goodness! I remember reading about that when you posted I think Saturday night.....YIKES! That is a real stand up thing to do of Kevin Costnar. The kids start school on I think September 9th.

Happy *YAWN* Monday!
 

well, we managed to get out again tonight without the kids! our friend offered to make us dinner and then she offered to watch the kids tonight.....so we took her up on her offer!

Shell~ I agree with you! We didn't want to have to feel like we were rushing into anything, so we decided that it would be best for us to cleaning up our credit while staying in the apartment, that way it would give us plenty of time to clean it all up and get the house that we want, and not have to settle for what is available to us.

Hello...

KATHY...I saw that on your DDs wall when she posted it on FB, or her friends, can't remember which. That is too sad it ended as it did, but great that Kevin Costner stepped in like he did. I too didn't know he sang! About the baby shower game...I like that would but...I found a bunch and was trying to decide between them, very hard...that was one and the baby price is right is another I wanted to do and would have gone with one or the other but I found some I thought would be fun, two anyway, and then Charlotte requested the baby food game so. Wanted to keep it down to 2 or 3. One is passing a gift around and there's a little poem that goes with it that is quite cute/funny, or so I think. But it's over whoever is left holding it wins. Then the baby tray game with a twist...no one will expect it I don't think :dunno: I am so pooped over this thing and the hard one has yet to begin! I got the main part of the diaper cake made yesterday and I like it. Couldn't find my glue gun to finish it so had to go buy one today. Anyway...good luck on your job! Hoping you love it!

MINDEE...sounds like a good, solid plan. Always better having good credit when trying to buy a house and yes...get the one you want, don't settle! Speaking of school...Cambrie is starting kindergarten next week! :yikes: I thought that was really early.

SASSY...glad you and the hubby were able to go out. My hubby was switched to nights, well, second shift and it sucks! Couldn't imagine how you guys work a third shift!

JULES...how are you holding up? Hoping all is well with you and your momma. Lots of hugs and prayers for her and your dad. :hug:

SUSAN...COME BACK! MISSING YOU! LOTS! Yeah I am yelling in the hopes you hear me, lol! Hoping all is well with you and the girls! And work!

FRANCIE...bet you are getting excited about your star night out! Have fun!

KATY...hoping all is well with you and the fam too!

SUE...hoping you and the fam are enjoying Vegas! Would love to be there, I think. If it's cooler than it is here, for sure! Anywhere would be better than here...it is a HOT one! 101 today, ick!

Okay, who did I miss? I hope no one but if I did...sorry!

Was gonna say "Not a lot going on with me" but there is, lol. Definitely a busy week this week. Hubby waited until the week of the baby shower to stretch the carpet...for some reason it came loose and we have lived with 2 humps in the living room for a while now. I don't move the furniture around so not sure how it would come loose :dunno: And borrowed Charlotte's shampooer and cleaned them since he had to take the furniture out. I just feel so drained and pooped! Oh, and I am watching the little one this week and two days next week. Can't believe she starts kindergarten next Wed...seems early to me. Anyway...tons to get done before Sat, well, and Sat...was excited but now I can't wait until it's over!

Did get my walk in this morning and other than that, not sure if any more will get done, just too pooped!

Take care all, and have a wonderful day!

just hanging out here at home....Tommy had an officers meeting at lodge....so it was me and the kids for dinner. they are all hopefully sleeping now.....I know the boys are!

Cristina~ Next week? The kids around here don't start until after Labor Day.....so we still have some time. In fact, the other day when I told Brandon that school starts next month, he grabbed my arm and said "but mom, we need back packs!" I told him that we would make sure that they have back packs before school starts!

Hi All,

Happy VERY RAINY :rain: Tuesday!!!!!!! (At least here) It stormed here this morning right when DH was getting off of work and he had the motorcycle. So he had to ride through the pouring rain and hail. He made it home safely, TG, but tonight he drove the car. He loves riding, but its when it is crappy weather like this that sucks and his work isn't as close as mine is. Mine is only like 7 minutes or so away. ;) I am also having another good hair day and what did I do? I just took my shower in the morning instead of at night when I get up. So for some reason going to bed with my hair wet, and then waking up for work, my hair decides to "behave"...........:shrug: lol.

Mindee -- Yeah its definitely worth waiting for the right one. We are very very happy in our house. Even if we are only renting it, our landlord is way cool and lets us make it "ours" and who knows maybe he'll let us rent-to-own eventually. We love the neighborhood for sure! Anyways, Good Luck on your hunt and remember -- "Never settle for less than the Best!" I just thought of that, even though I am sure someone else probably has said it before! lol.

Cristina -- I actually love nights. I have worked all shifts, 1st, 2nd and 3rds. I prefer 2nd and 3rds. #1 very little or no management around, I can sleep in, little or no traffic, I love it. But some people aren't cut out to working nights and oh yeah also like working nights for the extra money (shift differential) Amazing how cleaning can poop you out! They should make a work out video titled, "Work out and Clean your house at the same time!" lol. Wow starting kindergarten already? Times flies, eh? ;)

Well I hope you all are doing well!

:hug:

just hanging around the house for now....we have to go grocery shopping tonight....and our neighbor is going to go with us because she needs to do her shopping as well and she doesn't have a car right now.

other than that....nothing else going on.....

Shell~ I couldn't agree more! we figured that it would be best for all of us if we waited until this time next year before getting a house....that way it gives us plenty of time to get things cleared up!

Just time for a quick hello.

Cristina, got the videos today....Thank you very much. I am now going to put them on and hopefully this will start a new routine for me. :hug:

K I'll talk to you all later.

Hello..We are home and well. Mom did great at my aunt's house. Lots of catching up to do. Stress and vacation eating have really way-laid me, but hopefully I can see the light at the end of the tunnel by next week.

Thanks for all your good wishes..we did have a nice trip. It was way too hot for me and I refuse to go out there in July or Aug. again. We are no longer interested in having a second home there.....

I will get caught up and be back ASAP...

Hello all...

Just a sort of quickie for me...taking a break while I try to get the little one to sleep. For some reason my feet are hurting so bad...I feel like I have been walking for days, lol...I've actually not walked, other than all the running around and cleaning/decorating stuff...just being on the old dogs. Anyway...slowly coming together. I know by the time Sat rolls around I will be ready for about a 2 day nap, lol! Come Monday morning though I am definitely getting back on track with the walks! Will never get to Vegas at this rate, lol.

KATHY...I was wondering if you had received them or not...been so busy lately I forgot to ask! I hope you enjoy them, ha! Who the heck enjoys exercise, lol? How's work going? Do you like it?

SUE...glad you guys made it home safely! And that you enjoyed Vegas, other than the heat that is.

SASSY...yeah, I hear that a lot from people who work the 2nd & 3rd shift. Hubby has once and didn't mind it but this time around he's not liking it so much. But yeah...would be great to do all your shopping in the wee hours of the morn while everyone else is sleeping!

MINDEE...yeah they are starting early...Cambrie is all happy too, she got a new princess backpack, lol.

Hiya to everyone else :wave:

Have a few other places to visit online and then it's back to work for me...playing catch-up with the laundry...missed a day, or so I thought it was just a day (losing all track of time) but for some reason I have about 4 loads to do...#2 is almost done washing so, gonna be a long day, actually a long next 3 days!

Have a GREAT Thursday :wave:

Quickee for me....everybody is home--tired but not in a lot of pain--it was so nice to sleep in my own bed Wednesday night and not have to get up before 5 AM to drive to Baltimore....Mom has an appt on the 18th and Dad has to set up his appt to get his staples out..

I am not doing ANYTHING this weekend except playing with Dominic

Sassy is Rockin'!! lol
 

Happy Sunday everyone.

Jules - how is your play weekend going? Hope that you are enjoying yourself.

Sassy - sounds like you had a good time. What does your hubby do? Have you ever heard of Paul Mcenna? ( l spelled that wrong) he says eat whatever you want whenever you want, but just eat slowly, and only until you are satisfied, not stuffed. Def Leppard is actually out on tour right now. I was going to get tickets for DH and DS, but they were way too much.

Cristina - How did the babyshower go? Did you have enough food for everyone? I hope that baby Lily got a lot of presents. Was little Princess there? As for my job, I just finished 4 days of orientation, and I am wondering if I will be able to handle this job. I am worried about changing the bladder control issue products on the residents, and keeping their skin mosturized so it doesn't tear. I start my first day with this tomorrow, so my fingers are crossed.

Sue - glad that you had a good time. Sorry that it was so hot. Glad to hear that your mom had a good time also. When we were there in April it was hot, can't imagine it now.

Mindee, did you go to your tattoo party? Did you and Tommy enjoy your time alone without the kids. Good to have a friend like you have.

Ok I must run, and get some laundry going so everyone has some clothes for the morning. Also, going to try and find SusieQ's phone number on the internet....I am launching a search and rescue mission as I know we are all suffering from Susan withdrawal.....

Hey There Fellow 3FCers! :wave:

Well yay another brand new week at work for me! At least this is my "short" week! YAY! :celebrate: No it doesn't take much for me!! lol.

Kathy -- My husband works on the network for the hospital, makes sure all the monitors, mri, cat scan, all the stuff in the hospital that "talks" to the network he makes sure is "talking" to the network. He loves his job because it combines both of his loves of computers and medical (he used to be a firefighter/paramedic) plus he loves Children and he works for the Children's Hospital. :) Yes I have heard of Paul McKenna. I did his plan for a while, I just could never get to the exercise part, even though he makes it easy, just says to keep "adding extra steps". Guess I could try that again. I still eat the way he says too, so that part I already have down. Yeah I know I wanted to see Def Leppard too, but my dh never follows through. :( I always ask him if he wants to go and he says yes then I say do you want me to order the tickets and he is like, "lets just wait and see". PFFFFFT! Next time I think I'm just gonna order them and go whether he goes or not! :p lol. I got all my laundry done, that is washed, dryed, folded and put away! YAY! :woohoo: GL on the SQ mission! ;)

Big :hug: to all!

I had it set up to send me an email when there were responses in here, and I haven't gotten them lately!

we did end up getting to go out on Saturday with just me and Tommy. we had three parties to go to and managed to make it to only two of them. (we had a birthday party, a graduation party, and then another birthday/tattoo party) we made it to both birthday parties, but not the graduation party.

we both ended up getting some new ink while we were at the tattoo party. I had to sit in the chair for a little bit longer because the cops went by and were looking at the house. (apparently in the city we were in, you are not allowed to tattoo in houses for money, but you can for donations) luckily the cops never stopped at the house they just kept going. I have the pictures of the new ink on both myspace and facebook, so take a look at them.

on another side note: Brandon is fully potty trained during the day! he now wears underwear all day and only a pull up at night time! he is so excited to start school in a couple of weeks! we even got them their back packs last week, so now they are really excited about school starting!!! when school starts, Logan will be in pull ups!!!

As always there is drama in my life..just something to keep up the stress level and stir the pot. DD in California is having issues with her "ex" again and taking him back to court. They have joint custody as per most of CA...and she is going for permanent and complete custody. He is a nut-job. She is a basket case and out there with little family...just tough. I could go for a week or two, but who knows when court will be or how long this will take....just not feasible.
Meanwhile..here, everything is back to normal. Mom was sick all week-end and I had been sick before her...so we didn't accomplish much around the house. :)

Yesterday I ironed all afternoon and today did the washing of bedclothes and towels. Cleaned bathrooms and now have on a pot of ham and beans for dinner.

Grandson brought Mason over for a visit over the week-end and the little stinker cried most of the time here. He was really sleepy and would not give up and nap. I guess he slept in the car on the way home and was happy as a clam after that. LOL

Cristina- How did the shower go? or did I miss that somewhere? Hope all is well.

Mindee- Great job for Brandon. What tattoo did you get?

Sassy- Let's drink to your "short" week. Cheers! I am glad you enjoyed going to DH's work. And double glad that he likes his job so much.

Kathy- Hope the job works out ok. I am not sure I could do those things either... Hope you find Miss Susie Q. I am concerned about her and Francie...

Jules- Glad things have slowed at your place. Bet you enjoyed the little guy. Hope things continue to look up for both your Mom and Dad.

And where are our other missing BIKers??

Hola all.

Tonight is a night that makes u just wanna sleep. :yawn: Its all rainy and dreary out. Definitely did not feel like coming into work, but after tonight, only one more night left for me! YAY!

Mindee -- WTG Brandon! :cheer3: Glad u had fun at your tattoo party!

Sue -- Sorry to hear your mom was sick. I hope all goes well for your DD. Isn't it amazing how when u are young u fight to not take a nap, but when u get older, u fight to take one! lol.

:hug:

just thought I would check back in here to see how every one is doing!

Sue~ I hope things settle down for you all soon! I got the first part of a three part tattoo on my lower back. this first part, and center of the tattoo, is four trinity symbols put together. they are pink, blue and green.

Shell~ That sounds like a nice night for sleep! we had storms last night, so it was a nice night to sleep last night!

Mindee -- Yeah I believe it stormed all day so I slept great yesterday! But man it is hot! :hot: Definitely feeling like August! I want a Celtic cross tattoo on my calf eventually.

Good morning..It is hot..hot..hot here. I hate not being able to mess around in the yard. A friend has some plants for me and I guess I will plant them late this evening.

I am watching Mason right now, but he is asleep. He was in a great mood so DH held and played with him..then when he got tired and fussy guess who got to put him to sleep? And I almost fell asleep with him. Darn big old rocking chair. LOL Just going to have him for two hours or so...and he will probably sleep most of it. :) Love his grins....

Nothing else to tell here..life goes on and I feel older every day. Gotta get some pep and energy.

Talk later....

another quickee for me--just wanted to say hi--I REALLY need to stop stress eating and get back on track....

The computers been acting up so it's hit or miss when I try to get on...

Miss you guys...

Good morning. Looks like most people are busy with real life.
Not a thing going on here...just normal day to day "stuff." I am currently suffering with a sore throat and earache.
I did get all the plants in the ground...now if they decide to honor me with their presence next Spring I will be pleased. Have a card party Sat. night then Sunday I will be prepping for Mondays colonoscopy/ The prep is worse than the procedure.Any week-end plans?

Well..gonna bump this up anyway.
Went to the Farmer's Market and got a wonderfully yummy melon. I didn't need anything else, thanks to gardening friends.
Was actually looking for mums. My friend got some there last week....but not there this time.

Nothing going on here except our card party tonight..I made a taco dip to take.

I am sure I will be online tomorrow due to the prep...no eating..so I will be gabbing. :)

Hi SUe--I stopped and got some fresh stuff from a local farmers market and they were just starting to put out the mum--so pretty...

Dad is all cleared--they feel they got it all--they are going to have him do around 3 weeks of radiation as a precaution. He was already back to acting like an arrogant arse on the car ride home....knew it wasn't going to last...

Mom's pathology report is Tuesday. I am so nervous--hoping she is cancer free too!! She has had a real battle with this.

Hopefully I can get back on track--I have gained back like 8 pounds.....

Hi Girls. :wave:

Sue -- mmmmmmmm taco dip, that sounds good, mind if I ask you the recipe?

Jules -- CONGRATS to your dad for being cleared! :celebrate: I hope your mom will be too!

I got most of the stuff done that I wanted too. Now just finishing up some laundry -- yay -- so fun!

Later,

Hello all...long time no see!

Sorry for being mia...everyone seems to be busy so just been kinda reading the posts once or twice a week. Going to try and do better at the posting.

Sassy, I like that cross, very pretty.

Sue, I need to make myself go to the farmers market...I think they do it every other Sat, may be every Saturday not sure....that is probably why I don't go, lol...too lazy to see when it is. I used to get Friday's paper to see what's up on the weekends but the paper went up and the content went down so don't even waste the money except for a Sunday paper. Sorry for the drama...always something isn't it. Hoping all works out for you daughter...the last thing her and the kids need in their lives (or anyone) is drama to add to what is already going on. Hugs to her, and you! Oh, let me know how the colonoscopy goes and what you think. I have been putting it off for a few weeks now. Was supposed to schedule it but never did...doc didn't say I needed one right now but 50 is when they start and I thought I would do it and get it over with but now not so sure, lol.

Mindee, WTG to Brandon! :bravo: Bet the kids are excited to start school. I keep forgetting to go see your pictures of your tattoo...thinking I saw it with the different colors but not sure. So do the different colors signify something or did you just want different colors?

Jules, I am so happy to hear the news for your dad, and I am praying for good news for your mom. Hugs to you all! :hug: And you will get back on track...it's hard to stay on track and think of eating right and exercising with so much stress, just too hard. We are here for ya to help you along the way missy! :hug:

MsSusan, I am worried about you missy. Hoping all is well with you and the girls. I know you are busy with work and all but we miss you!!! We need our Susan!

Kathy, hoping all is well with you. Hoping the job is fine and you like it.

Big hello to everyone else :wave:

The baby shower went well...I have pictures up on myspace and facebook. Took me a while to start putting pix on myspace after someone hacked into my account, just leery I guess. And did I tell you not long after you guys were talking about someone stealing and using the credit card someone stole the hubby's info and tried to go crazy with his credit card. OMG, I'm assuming it was a lady because twice she tried to charge $400 and something in shoes at Payless, there were two dating services, ummm, can't remember what else but the credit card company put a stop on all charges after the first two or three thank goodness. If she had actually gotten away with the charges she would have taken us for about $2500, yikes. What is wrong with people? I just don't understand what a person is thinking when they think they are entitled to someone else's stuff, kills me.

Weight loss is going slow but is coming off. If I don't make my 20 pound goal, which by the way I moved it up to November 1-need to make the change in my ticker to reflect that....but I am not going to be hard on myself. The way I see it is whatever I lose is a plus for me because I know I tried and that's all that counts. I've been a slacker in the exercise department though, or was...getting back on track. And I am doing a 5k for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Sept...hopefully Charlotte has the baby on time or if she is going to be late after the race, lol. It's 3 days after her due date.

Anyway...guess that's about it...need to not stay away so long, lol.

Hoping everyone is enjoying the weekend, take care :hug:

Cristina..I have had the colonoscopy before. Family history and I am older than you..so I have to do it every 5 years. They actually sedate you so you are in lala land and it is easy peasy. I even had and endioscope with mine last time and never knew a thing. So, okay, I won't lie...the prep of laxitives is not fun...but I figure a good clean out every 5 years won't hurt me. I just never plan anything for the day before the test or day of. You can not eat for 24 hours prior except clear liquids...so that is what I am doing today. Then the day of I am back home by 10 or so and just nap due to the sedatives..and EAT..finally. LOL. They make you bring a driver with you and ask that you have someone with you for the day...but I have never had any trouble. I am just always really sleepy...so I sleep. Have never been sore or anything afterwards.
I was very nervous the first time, but believe me when I say the prep is worse than the test...and it is not horrible.
Hope this helps...

Jules- Wonderful about your dad and I am keeping your mom in my thoughts and prayers.

Sassy- The dip was wonderful. I just spread refried beans on a plate or small cooky sheet. Top with a mixture of 16 oz. sour cream and dry taco seasoning (stir 'em up) then top with shredded cheese. I sprinkle tomatoes, onions, black olives...anything I have on hand ..on top. Chill and dip.. I do heat the beans first and then let them cool in the pan before I spread them, but I know some people do not have an adversion to eating things straight from the can. (my DH does have qualms about it..so I heat..)

Right now I am drinking liquids and trying to NOT think about food. Hard to do because being the wonderful wife and daughter that I am, I put a roast and veggies in the crock pot for my family's dinner. LOL... So that is smelling pretty darn good right now. DH asked me why I did that..he said they could have found something to eat. I just told him I am the one having the test no need for them to suffer. (oh, I also used the "being the wonderful wife that I am....." line on him. He laughed...)

Played cards last night and I won a texas hold 'em tournament (family game) I just love to beat out the guys....fun.

Doing nothing today except Farkleing and farming. I have been trying to stay busy.

Bought lots of fruits and veggies to eat after this test...thought if I am starting from an empty stomach I am going to TRY to eat right and get back on track. Even got out my trampoline so I can use it starting Tues.

Okay...all for now..hope you are having a great day and relaxing as you should on Sunday.

Good morning!

SUE...thanks, that does help! Now I will make the appt and get it over with, lol. I could use a good cleansing! And you are a great wife and mother...I don't think I would cook for everyone if I couldn't eat it, lol.

Hello to everyone else! :wave:

Was up early for my walk but didn't actually go until about 6:15'ish...it was lightning so...didn't want to get started and get soaked. But it is done...now to do a couple of dvds by the end of the day...thinking one in about an hour and then one about 2. Other than that not a lot going on today.

Have a great day!

quickee--hubby wants on the computer.....

Mom's pathology report is tomorrow morning--I am sooo nervous!!

:hug::hug:Jules, Thinking of you. :hug::hug:

Feeling more rested today...the test was early in the a.m. yesterday and I had to be there an hour early, so I just felt tired. Then after the sedative I was tired all day. Oh well, have that done for another 3 years....ugh, they want me to do it in 3 instead of 5. I must add that my dad had colon cancer and 2 uncles died from colon cancer, so I am high on the list of Family history being the reason for return visits. Doesn't help that they had to send something off for a biopsy...so now I will be tested more often.
Fingers crossed for another biopsy result....

Today we are going to meet DD for lunch then I am watching Mason from 2-5. My day will be full...and I am also doing mounds of laundry since I took yesterday off.

Hope you are all having a great week and I will talk to you later.

Mom's pathology came back no cancer!!! Now, if she can just recover from the after effects of the chemo, radiation and MAJOR surgery...

I am going to take a nap before I go pick hubby up from work...

HUGS Sue!! The procedure sounds yucky!!!

no stress eating-- lost 2 pounds....I will take it!!

Hello...

JULES...glad to hear the news! :carrot: And WTG on the 2 lbs! :carrot:

SUE...hope you are feeling better. Hope you get the results soon too..nothing like waiting.

Hiya to everyone else :wave:

Nothing much going on with me...same old, same old. Trying to get my eating in sync with my exercise...doesn't seem to be working, not like I would like anyway. But I am still pluggin' along...I will never quit but I sure do tire of trying to stay on track all the time!!! Such a pain...but then no one ever said it was or would be easy.

Today, ran some errands but did get my walk in. Going to do mow the back later...haven't been able to because of the rain and I know it is still wet but it is looking like a jungle back there.

Went to the scrapbook store to get a copy of the guest list for the baby shower...Charlotte wanted a copy of it for the baby book...she wanted the original but I said "I don't think so!" Lol...going to another baby shower for her Sat so going to give it to her then. Also, got an album going to make a scrapbook for baby Lillian. Going to start with some of the pictures from the baby shower(s).

Hoping all is well with everyone MIA and not, take care! Hugs

So quiet around here...

...not really in a talkative mood but thought I would stop by and say HI, and wish everyone a great weekend. Mine's not started out so great but hope yours is better and you enjoy. Check back later :wave:

Cristina--sorry your weekend isn't going well, hope it gets better.

Kind of worried about teri, I haven't heard from her all day--she usually calls me especially when I have Dominnic. I gues my worry/stress indicators are still on high from Mom and Dad--probably nothing...

having fun with Dominic got a couple books from the library...not much going on...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

It's a rainy lazy day here....

Sorry for being MIA...guess I don't check in as often as I had been since hardly anyone ever posts.

For those of you not on facebook we lost our Ernie dog last Friday. He was with us for 14 years and they were all healthy years except this last year when he got cancer in Jan...well it was back and with a vengence...we had to put him down and that is the worst thing ever. But I know he's not suffering, not in pain anymore so that helps. I said I would never get another dog if and when we lost him but I am so lost without that little dog...so weird after 14 years coming home and him not being here to greet us when we come home or start going crazy when it's puppy food time...don't know how he knew it was 5:00 every day but he did, lol. Anyway...life goes on as they say.

Trying to stay focused on eating healthy and my exercise but I swear, the more I try/do the worse it gets. I refuse to give up though. Thinking I will go have my jaw wired! I'm kidding of course, I think...does sound like a good idea though. Anyway...

Hoping all is well with you all...miss you all, and hope to see you soon Ms Susan! Thank you for the card, I promise to get a letter in the mail to you soon.

Have a good day :hug:
