hee hee hee ... Sherry, that actually did happen to me, too, years ago. I was in 7th grade and went to my aunt's house for the weekend. She took me to the pool, but I didn't have my bathing suit with me so I had to borrow a pair of shorts and a tube top from her. I pulled myself up out onto the edge of the pool and my tube top rolled down to my waist! Luckily, I don't think anyone noticed. I was pretty mortified, though!
Oh...for the poll...can I suggest another option? My struggle isn't really with the time of day, it's with the emotions in my head at the time. I have the most trouble staying OA abstinent when my feelings get hurt or I am bored.
Dee-You should write books! You have a way of describing things that makes us feel that we are there with you. Thanks for the trip, I really enjoyed it!
Sorry I didn't post yesterday. After work I went to tanning bed, cooked dinner and then watched TV with Wayne. I was sooooo tired!
I'm off for 4 days!!!! WOOOO-HOOOO!!!! We are out of School until Tuesday!! I sure needed this break!
I'm spending the day with Mom (I think...She hasn't said for sure yet). I've got to straighten up the house and get ready. If we decide not to go off, I'll be back to post more!!
Shelley,
I'm about to walk out the door to pick up Mom but wanted to answer your question.
No, We're not going to be able to go to Florida this summer. With Wayne getting a new job this year, buying our house and Debbie putting in her new pool there will be no extra money! But that's ok...We'll spend our free time in her pool and "live it up!"
BTW: Wayne is studying to get his PI license again. When I first met him 22 years ago that's what he did for a living. He has to renew them. He really wants to go back to that. He misses it. He wants to do the drug busts as he once did. Keep your fingers crossed!
Sorry I haven't posted ladies. Work has been crazy. The state has a huge murder investigation going on and they asked me to transcribe the tapes. It is very chilling listening to the suspects tell how they committed the murder. In fact, I've got to get right back to it.
Anyway, I have stayed OP all week and am down a couple of pounds.
Ramona that is great that you lost 2 pounds. With all the stress in your life that is quite the accomplishment.
Sherry were you showing off your brown boobs in the pool, again? I remember when something similar happenned to me. Jennelle reminded me of it. We were looking to buy a dalmation dog. I was about 18 years old. When we went to see this dog he greeted me by jumping up on me and pulling down my tube top in front of his male owner. I had one heck of a time pulling it up when everyone was to busy laughing to help get the dog off. Yes we did end up getting the dog.
Shelley enjoy your long weekend. Catch some rays for me. It has turned really cool here. It is only around 30 here. I am glad that you enjoyed my trip report even though it was so long.
Gayle is Allison anxious for the easter bunny's visit? It is so much fun when the kids are little. My kids still get an Easter Hunt here on sunday. They are so funny to watch big kids run around looking for treats.
Debbie I still love your count down. It inspires me. When will you be openning your pool? Is your deck finished? Please post a pic when you are done. We only open our pool around the third week of may. It is just to cool here before then.
What are eveyone's Easter plans. All the stores are closed here today. Tomorrow everything will be supper busy. We are having Easter breakie here, probably crepes suzzette, then our hunt. We will bbe going to mom and dad's for Easter dinner. We will probably be around 10-12 people.
Dee, we will do Easter dinner with Steve's family, then spend a few hours with my mom. The bunny will show up at our house Saturday night while Allison is sleeping...shhhhh...don't tell....but he still brings things for Liz too!!!! Allison and I will be coloring Easter eggs Saturday afternoon while Steve is at work.
Allison decided she wanted her ears pierced about 3-4 weeks ago. One day this past week she finally decided she was ready. We watched another little girl have hers done and I asked if they could just "double whammy" Allison instead of just one ear at a time. It all went off well and she is proud of her new jewels. When Steve came home this week, Allison was all set to show her ears off! Steve asked her what piercing meant and she said they took a big stapler and stapled them! Never thought about it that way, but I guess she's kinda right!
Sher & Deb, sorry no vacation this year, but do enjoy the new pool! Just don't let Sher get to comfortable going topless!
Shelley, enjoy the time off! Don't tell me it's bright and sunny there today. We have rain with chances of it turning to snow!
Jennelle, thank you for the reminder to go for a check-up. I've put it off because of my weight. I just know the doctor is going to go tsk...tsk...
Vickster, how's mom?
Ramona, weigh to go on the weight loss!!! YIPPEEE!!!!
Well not enough time to post to everyone. I hope your all staying OP and getting the exercise in. I am on day 3 totally OP and trying to walk a little. I am still having foot problems, so I'm going to take it easy and not push too hard.
Ramona-Good for your lbs. lost. The murder investigation sounds like it should be interesting transcribing!
Debbie-Congrats on your weight loss you posted on the exercise thread!
Sherry-I hope that Wayne passes and gets his license. That sounds exciting! I hope that you and Debbie have fun by her pool!
Dee-It's a bit dreary here, but when I ran this morning, it was still quite hotter than it has been. I don't celebrate Easter, so if Mike and the kids go to his brother's house on Sunday, I will have an excuse not to go because I am going to Miami with my parents to visit my aunt, who had a stroke a couple of years back. My parents visit her regularly, and I asked if I would go with them. It will be a good excuse not to see evil MIL!
Gayle-I bet Allison looks adorable in her new earrings! I really can't imagine how you ladies are still having such cold weather right now when ours has been so warm.
Jennelle-Did you mean that you would hear something in April? You said August on your post. I hope you don't have to wait so long!
Cheryl-I am so proud of you for jumping right in and exercising just about everyday!
Vicki-When are you attending another Red Hat meeting? I saw quite a few red hats at Dillards today that were stunning.
I figured out why I've not been losing any lbs. even though I've been exercising like a mad woman--I've been eating about a gazillion calories a day!! Duh! Really, I didn't realize exactly how MUCH I'd been eating--I thought I was doing pretty good. But I went on Fitday.com today and started a food log, and I am doing TERRIBLY!!!! Time to start measuring out those portion sizes and subtracting the calories from my goal, instead of just "eating."
