Hi Sunny,

How could I forget????......Congratulations on your weight loss. You must be just walking on air. It couldn't happen to a sweeter person!! Hope your clothes shopping went well and you were able to find the perfect outfits to compliment your sunny personality.. Take care.

Love,
Bluet

Hi, ladies--

SunnyD, how wonderful! I bet you were so excited. You know, I think there's a correlation between the size and wanting to shop. Seventy pounds ago I hated shopping--now that I can get into a 12 or 14, I don't mind it at all. Now, I don't think I'll ever be the kind of shopper my daughter is, but I don't dread it like I did before. Hope you had a good time puttering around in your garden.

Willow, 72 degrees and sunny is just perfect in my book. Even 75 degrees is good. Once it starts getting much higher, then I don't like it. Hope you were able to enjoy your sunny day. And I hope the cops finally got that woman.

Well, Bluet, it took me a minute to figure out what a house "wern" was, but I finally got it! Watching those little birds is a lot of fun. I can understand why you don't see many, though, with lots of cats just waiting to take advantage of the birds.

We kind of puttered around this weekend, too. Our front yard looks wonderful--I'll have to get a photo soon. It needs to fill in, but I love looking at it. We also took the dog to the vet for a recheck. The vet tech scared us when she weighed Molly at 29 lbs.--that was a 3 lb. loss in 3 weeks, 10% of her body weight. Luckily, it was wrong and when we weighed her again, she'd only lost one pound. She's doing okay, though, just hanging in there. I don't know if she'll last the summer, but she may surprise us.

Fresh snow on Mount Rainier, which I'm surprised I can see because it's been raining. Great for the new plants!

Hi to Jacquie and Fatpuss and Charlotte!

Hi everyone,
The weather here was chilly today. We had rain and tornado watches last night.
The grass is really getting green and my lilacs and forsythia are leafing out really nice now.

I spent Saturday afternoon out at my sisters house and she made a boiled dinner for supper and it was so good. It was nice not to have to cook for a change.
One of my older sisters who lives in UP michigan was here last summer and took a lot of pics. She sent some to my sister here and sent an envelope of pics along for me too.
There is a picture in there of me sitting on the couch with my oldest granddaughter, and it is the most awful condition I've ever seen myself in. I'm not kidding. When I saw that picture I got physically queasy at my stomach. I see myself in the mirror every day, and knew things were bad, but, this is just awful.
Hopefully it will keep me on the straight and narrow for a while.

Sunny, many congratulations to you on your success with your weight loss. It must be heaven to be able to buy such small clothes.

Sheila, I don't know if the cops got that little snot or not, but I haven't seen anything in the paper. I don't know where she came from or anything. I didn't know she was living or staying nearby until she came to the door and asked to use the phone. My DIL said she thinks she was staying with her ex somewhere nearby. I hope they're gone.

Charlotte, I hope you don't get too ill with the treatment. Get plenty of rest.
How are things coming along with your house?

Bonnie, I don't like snakes either. I used to hunt them with my Dad when I was a kid, but now I scream bloody murder when I'm within sight of one. Snakes, mice and bats. UGH!!

Today I went and sat in the hot tub for a while, then went and walked in the pool for a while. It felt really good while I was in the water because you're so bouyant in there.
Tomorrow I start pool therapy with a therapist. twice a week.

See you all later!

hello to Puss and Jacquie too.

All quiet on the western front here (thank heavens) so thought I'd post a quickie before work. SunnyD well done on dropping a clothes size, Shiela is right about the link with shopping, that new suit I bought before I put this stone back on was bought to celebrate a size less and if I don't start back on track soon I won't be able to fit into it - wore it yesterday and the waist is cutting, the bum almost bursting and the thighs almost filled!! Visted a company yesterday to conduct an audit and the finance director was the spitting image of David Brent from the Office. I kept waiting for him to be an idiot because he even sounded a bit like him, ha ha. Bluet, have you recovered from helping DD with clearing all her stuff? Hard work, eh? Angel, hope all is going well with the legal proceedings, try to make sure you get enough rest in between times (maybe the love seat with DH!) Willow, sounds like you have a lovely son there, checking on you after scary situation. How did you like son's new girl? Jacqui, hope your sinus infection is clearing by now, bit of a bummer after having a nice break to get that at the end of it. Sheila, re you having your swimsuit stolen. When my friends from work and I used to swim in our lunch hour, one friend was too self-conscious about her figure and brought her towel to the bathside rather than put it in the locker. One session in the pool she suddenly said "where's my towel gone?". We looked under the doors of the changing rooms (ha, imagine the four of us!) and there were two gypsy young men making free with her towel. No apologies, nothing. She shared my towel but wouldn't use hers again so her puss cat has it now.
We had a lovely, sunny day Saturday and DH mowed the lawns for the first time this year but Sunday was a total wash out, rain all day so the perennials are still waiting to be planted in.
Must dash off to work. x

Just popping in to ask everyone to cross their fingers for me. I'm trying a new treatment today. I'm being cautiously optimistic, well, actually, I'm probably being too optimistic. I really want this to work!

YOU GOT IT MY FRIEND! FINGERS CROSSED, TOES CROSSED, EYES CROSSED, .....
GOOD LUCK!!

Today I had pool therapy for a half hour, and I go back Friday for more.

It's really cold and rainy here today. But, boy is the grass ever growing and trees getting leaves really fast.

I used my therabands for a few minutes this morning, and I probably will again tonight as I watch TV.
Might as well make use of the time.

I need to go call my oldest sister as it's her Birthday today and she should be home by now.

have a good evening everyone.

Sheila had an emergency appendectomy on Tuesday night. She's home now and resting. She asked me to say she'd be back on the board when she's feeling better.
