    Bye kids
    I'm off to the beaches with my 15 year old twins and my carload of snacks and junk. See you dolls in a week and a half.

    Bye Kiwi! Have fun!

    Peaches, that's awful that they want to pick everything that goes into your house! You are allowed to paint it if you don't like it, right?

    Wabby, I could not see your new, improved journal. Did I miss something?

    Nope, Cherry. Just my usual rambling. If you want to see it, it's under new journals - search for Wabby.

    Some whacko here has poisoned dogs at one of the parks in Portland. DD took our Dotty dog there just the day before this happened. So far, 8 dogs have died and 8 more probably won't make it. This park has a no leash policy, but apparently someone there doesn't agree with it. What is wrong with people???

    I am bored, bored, bored. I guess I may even do some work. That is how bored I am.

    Need y'alll
    I've come to depend on y'all.
    I was coming round to the realization that I'm giving too much advice. Didn't mean to be a Smarty Pants. Apologies all round.

    Kiwonk: Happy beach time!

    That's OK Painty, no one listens anyway. I haven't checked journals lately...I hope things are going well on the weight loss and fitness end.

    We have a big party tonight . I HATE this...all of us are going and I hate pushing everyone into decent clothes. The boys only want to wear baggy pants that look like boyz in the hood. DH thinks that dockers(which he wears to work every day...ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE) are appropriate for black tie. DD is willing to look nice. However, wearing something twice is unthinkable and sale racks are out of the question. Ach.

    On topic...whatever that is...I am sugar, wheat and coffee free. I am doing pilates with DD and like it. Looks like I'm out of Curves. Since DD is doctoring for her arthritis, she is very disciplined about what she eats...I feel like a jerk eating junk in front of her. Whatever it takes, I guess. She is doing much better on the diet and on the medicine. She still has surgery on the 11th of August.

    I must go take a nap so I can party all night...bye

    I am glad to see some posting her because I have decided not to post anymore. I am feeling sorry for myself and think I'm a dipwad (Kiwi term) because all I talk about is
    • ds
    • that old man who dumped me a year ago
    • a house I don't live in
    • Wabby (who is too sweet to ever get over this probably and I will be ruination of Cowland)
    I bought ds's bed (topics 1 and 3) from this really really cute and wonderful salesman who last time showed me mattresses starting with middle-of-the-line. This time started with bottom of best line saying that a teenage boy wouldn't care about the qualties of being able to turn over and not bother your spouse (!!!) but it was good mattress that never needed turning. He also talked me out of a footboard to save room.

    On topic 2, do y'all think I could write him and ask if we could exchange cookwear since his is tons better than mine but mine is tons better than what he had when I met him and HE NEVER COOKS. Or should I forget it?

    One topic 4, you are wrong but I forgive you.

    Posting Primarily for Peaches
    Two postcards from ds10. Apparently he is still alive and they are feeding him. He's probably hasn't changed his underwear since last Sunday, but that's not my problem.

    No need to apologize, Painty! There's advice and there's advice, and it all depends on the spirit in which it's given. You have nothing to worry about.

    Exercised today but am still as fat as ever. May exercise again tomorrow. Tired of being a tub.

    Wabby! My gangster name turned out to be "Hangnail". I mean, really!

    Hi Cherryyyyyyyyyy! How are ya?

    Gee, don't all post at once
    Actually exercised today again. Dh was impressed. I am NOT impressed because I don't see any improvement at all, besides the fact that I can stay on the machine for 30 mins without dying now.

    Painty - can you please explain that 5 lb weight fluctation thing here because I'm toooooo lazy to go over to the Lifting Ladies and look for it. Thanks!

    Told dh I was making calzones tonight and he got that panicked look in his eyes and said "Oooooh! Is that something I like?" Foreign men, I tell ya! Oh, I forgot, I'M the foreigner.

    I am posting just because I love Sugar even though I said I wouldn't. Topics from now on will be:

    1) DS
    2) house
    3) MOG (mean old guy)

    1) haven't heard from him lately. Got one card. Should have been two cards. He survived cross-dressing day and DID dance at the .. you know .. dance.
    2)unchanged. cute. neat. wish I had let ds pick out everything in it. His choices look so much better than mine.
    3)who cares.

    When is BAGZZZZZZZ coming home and/or when are BAGZZZZZ and KIWWWWWI going to sit down at someone else's puter and post?

    How many calories in a calzone? Is Lohani pushing her dh up the hill again? What did Bagz wear to the wedding? When will the pictures come? Why did I not never nowhere get the email from Kiwi? Have they found a way to put fingerprints on Wabby's fridge yet? What is Cherry's favorite TV ad? Hi Painty. No questions for you this morning.!

    Painty, if you are going to come around here...you have to post. It is pretty boring with just us. I'm sure even the grouch is happy you're here.

    Sugar, I love Calzones....I never make anything like that. It would never occur to me.

    Cowpernia, you should just face the fact that you have nothing else to talk about. It's ok.

    I'm driving to my home town tonight and meeting up with my Great Aunt(73) and Second cousin(51)(or first cousin once removed..whichever she is). They are not mother and daughter. For some reason I'm dreading this. This trip was originally planned for them to see my mother. They were going to come down here, stay for a week or so, it would have been nice. Of course, that can't happen now. After my mom was no longer visitable, they blew me off for what they considered the better offer of my cousin Carol's Beach house. Then Carol decided to take off for all but three days of their 14day visit so they called me back and wanted to come here. Too late. I already had plans. I have a boring life, but for some reason my calendar fills up pretty quickly. Then my
    DD's situation started. I'm having a busy summer.

    So, another relative visit. My kids REFUSE to go....they have had enough of crazy family for one year. The cousin in question has a sister who is mentally ill. I mean very mentally ill. They kind of mentally ill that starts a fire in your trashcan while you're sleeping if she's mad at you. She is desperate to get out of being tied to the aunt and sister...but it isn't my fault. She should have kept to the original plans and visited ME with the pool instead of trying to weazel her way into two weeks with Carol at the beach.

    Have I whined enough? Last night's party was a drunken bore. I really should take up heavy drinking. It would make family parties so much more fun.

    I have to go pack and get moving. I'm sort of miffed that Kiwi and Bagzie went away and Wabby has a social life.

    I think if we're gonna whine, we need to all do it at the same time. We could have a whining fugue.. with ExH themes, ungrateful DS's and DD's, house repairmen who are NOT as cute as the UPS guys... (or gals, depending on your preference)....

    I usally post about::
    • goals
    • my kids
    • DH

    I was telling DH about how sometimes I write about "DH1" and he got his knickers in a twist at being DH2. For once, I was talking facts and HE was having an emotional reaction .
    Any recommendations for referring to ex's? I hope nobody thought I was a bigamist.

    Sug: the weight fluctuations are related to water retention -- but I'm sure you knew THAT. The deal is that sugars provide the equivalent of empty water jugs just waiting to grab water weight....

    So if you get rid of the sugar/jugs, the water goes away, too.... and you burn fat (instead of storing fresh sugar)... then the water weight is gone and you actually lose fat. :

    Hope that helps.

    My late afternoon nap and later evening workout have NOT been conducive to getting to bed reasonably early.... but I better get going. I have people to help in the morning....

    Oh, and gardening to do in the afternoon... I don't have afternoon clients and I can pull weeds, listen to the birds and plan what to do with the flower bed in which the snap dragons (or something) just keeled over and died.

    But my gladiolas are blooming. Yahoo!!

    Since the D in DH stands for Dear (or I was told) I don't blame the current hubby for feeling that way. I'm a very jealous person myself and would want the first hubby just called EX ... not Dear and not Husband.

    Cowpernia, ya'll probably thought I was miffed, but I'm not. Just don't ask ppl what they think if you only want someone to agree with you. And the cookware? leave it alone.

    I didn't have a social life this weekend. We went out to dinner friday night by ourselves. I went shopping Saturday by myself. I hung around home doing not much of anything on Sunday by myself. It was really pretty nice.

    Painty, how about exH?

    Lohani, those parties are always more trouble than they're worth. Give me a bbq you can show up for in flip flops any day. I've been thinking of Pilates too. My hairdresser swears by her Pilates video. Are you taking classes or doing a video?

    Hmm. Trying to think about what I always post about. Somebody tell me. I think its usually 1. What I did on the weekend. 2. My weight watchers weigh in. 3. Getting old. Am I right?
