  • Hello Everyone...
    Its been a dreary wet weekend.. and its still that way on a Monday.. The weather man says we are to get a change in it lateron this week.. I hope so.. My tan is really fading... I hope that the sun will come out soon.. Starting Friday my hubby is on vacation for a week.. He took off the this friday and all of the following week..So we will do some things.. I am sure I wont get a chance to be on here and I will miss all of you.. I will try if I can but not knowing where we will be I dont know if its possible..
    I am excited to go on some day trips to places we havent been..Like Baltimore Harbor and tour the big sailing boat of the 1700'sand so muchg to see and do...Its about 2 hours from here...and we are going to some other places too....All of this is weather permitting.. So I have my fingers that we will be going..
    I have class tonight and I have to go to the grocery store.. Did nothing all weekend.. got some movies..They were boring and watched it rain.. I prob gained this weekend..All I did was eat.. Bad Me.. I was so bored... I should have a plan for days like that..but I dont.. I will be getting on the scales at the gym tonight and I am prepared to ...Oh well like they say.. You play..you pay.. I will try harder to lose it if I have gained.. I honestly dont know I just feel like I have.. I ate some salty crunchy snacks..Potato chips and some cheetos...I know thats so bad...and Chinese Take-out Food Sunday night for dinner. I was bad.. Chicken fried rice..I love that..
    Oh well back to being good...Right...

    Dana... I wanted you to know that the Yahoo site is gone.. I tried to find it and its gone.. I will be sending pictues through email..to you and everyone else..
    Have agreat time at the cabin.. Enjoy..Hope that Hubby's legs and feet get better.. It is so hard for poor Brett to get all of this diabetes things right.. Its hard for adults let alone kids to not eat the things they love.. real hard.. Bless his heart..
    I am sure he will get it.. I am still praying for your Grandpa..God Bless him.. I hope that he can get through all of his treatments and feel better..I bet your fish tank is really nice.. and those fish will be getting bigger all the time..Have fun and safe trip..
    Have a great day..

  • Summer, as good as you have been you deserve an off weekend. Hey and when I talked to you earlier you did not gain, so you can do that from time to time. Just don't make it a habit like I have. I am so excited about your upcoming vacation week. You both sure do deserve it. It's been too long hasn't it? Thanks for the pictures... ALL of them! ROFLOL And if your tan is fading I guess you were black before????????????????? ROFLOL

    Glen, I am sorry you gained. That's the story of my life lately. When I'm stressed, I can't lose. Is that what is up with you? Stess?

    Dana, hope you are having a good time. Rosey, we hope you are having a good time too. Kris, I forget where you are now. You go so much! LOL

    Dee, hope your week is going well and you are resting up from the weekend.

    I have to tell you all that I will do better with posting when this move is a done deal. Thursday we are renting a truck to move his furniture and I hOPE that his house will be ready that he can sleep there that night. If not, he's with us.... LOL UGH!

    I can't believe how fast the summer is going. Soon, my Elena will be heading back to school.

    I hope to talk to you all soon. cleaning his "old" house tomorrow.

    See I am repeating myself....You know I am tired..or is it I feel like I am talking to myself.. not sure which one...
    Does anyone know when Rosey gets back??? I am glad she is spending time with her family.. I know how she missed them...

    Sorry that I havent been on here....I got my hair done Thurday and I look much better..:lol...I am now a redhead with blonde hi-lites..
    Its different and I like it...I will get use to it..I am sure..
    We had a busy weekend and the weather was bad most of the weekend..
    Hubby was off Friday and he took me out to dinner..
    We went to the pool on Saturday for a few hours..That was fun.. Saw a few friends there and went out to dinner Saturday..Sunday we went to the flea market and sold afew of hubbys older Nascar cars and it started raining and we left.. I really didnt like it there..It was so humid and hot...it was in a parking lot and I had never did anything like that before and I dont think I will again.. ..TOOO crowded and no where to go to the bathroom..I dont do those portable ones.. They are to Scary and smell really really bad..
    We sold some of his cars and I was so glad to leave...We had a few friends there selling some of thier things and they left too..Needless to say it was a learning experierce..Hubby is off starting Monday for a weeks vacation..
    We are hoping for some day trips so...I doubt I will be in here.. I will miss you all.. We hope to go to the beach and to some other places...
    I sure hope the weather gets better....
    Well its late and I am tired... Been doing things around here to get ready to go in the morning..I am looking forward to some beach time if only for a day...I want to see Mr. Ocean.. and walk the boardwalk...
    I want all of you to have a great week..and great weather... and I will miss you all...
  • Hello,
    It seems like forever since I've been able to send out an email. It has been four busy days. My Dad is moved in but still un-packing containers and finding new "homes" for the STUFF! LOL It's unreal all the stuff he has. We knew it because we packed it but it's amazing all that we "had" to keep just to show him we didn't throw it away and then he finally gives the OK to toss it! LOL Thursday night the night of the move we were not home in bed until 2:30 that following morning and been working all day even did a final clean up after the furniture was out of the house in Simpsonville. Except for today and only because my sister next door left for the beach this morning have we not spent hours over there doing stuff. It's a gorgeous home and he should really enjoy it however it does have it's disadvantages but he will adapt just like we all do in other matters. HA! Yesterday we got his kitchen set up as well as the laundry room so he can get on with life as he knows it. Still things he would like to have but nothing that he can't live without right now. I will get all that I can do by the time my sister gets home Thursday night. Too bad there is a tropical storm now headed to the beach where she is. I am hoping that it will clear out by Tuesday so they can have a relaxing time that they sure do deserve.

    Well, that's all I can muster up right now. I'm still tired.

    I will need to catch up later. It's just too late but I wanted to let you all know I was still here.

    Donna
