:wave: the boys found me. rosey i lost 1.6. dana i'm still having a few beer. i knnow i shouldn't be . the weather herre isn't all that hot here. it's been 70. summer wtg :dance: :) glen

Way to go on that loss glen. I knew you would find your way back to the land of the losses.

Summer that loss for you is super and we knew it would be so soon that you would get that 20 pound chicken :lol: you better get the 25 POUND chick ready cause it will be posted next week.

Rosey I never made anything to sell. I have almost finished one of those beach bags but it's for myself. I didn't get a sewing machine to use> my mil gave me one but it was like 40 years old and wouldn't work so I made one by hand. It needs handles but otherwise will do. Have fun at your b-day party and good luck at bingo as always.

Donna so what's the deal with your PC? Mine is acting really stupid but it's in the keyboard. I have to retype everything it seems. It capitalizes stuff when I dont' tell it too and adds crazy punctuation.

I've just been really busy here. A week from today we will be at the beach (hopefully on it) and we haven't packed a thing. I need to make a list of "forget me nots" anyway. This is the birthday/anniversary weekend for us. Yesterday was the 12th year anniversary and tomorrow I will be 31. (don't EVEN do the math)

Well I will post this before I lose it but wanted to say :wave: to you all.

Hello Everyone....:wave:
Its in the air with Pooter probs..
Mine has been acting up.. and I dont know why...Unreal..
I went to the Bridal Shower today..It was really nice.. She got wonderful gifts...and it was great to see her so surprised..
She didnt have a clue about the Shower... It was fun..
I hate to say this but Buddy is back in the hospital again.. his blood count went slow low due to this last chemo treatment.... I am praying he will recover once again from all of this..
Its such ashame he has to endure all of this..
I am really tired from today and yesterday... The shower was at 3:00 pm but it was a couple hours from here..to accomodate all the family and friends from both sides so they had it in a location that everyone traveled about the same distance....I had to leave earlier today to get there and yesterday... I had so many errands to run and last minute things for the shower.. I am glad its done and I will be at the pool tomorrow relaxing if the weather is nice..
I sooooo hope it will be..

Donna.. Thank-you so much for the :cheers: for the weight loss..
I was so pleased....Now I am working on more weight loss...I will be trying..
I am sorry about your pooter troubles and glad that you got a new pooter..
What was wrong?? I sure dont know what the prob was with mine..
Like I said before they are possessed....:lol:
Thats great you got another one... I know what a pain all of it can be when they go crazy......Your trip will be here before you know it..
I am sure you have things to get ready for the trip..Always so much to do..
Have a great evening :love: :wave:

Rosey...Thank-you so much for the :cheers: for the weight loss..
I am so happy...Its hard work as you know.....but so worth it..
I will continue to try to loss..... :workout:
That was a cute story about your gd....I know how much you enjoy your Grandchildren....It wont be long and you will be on your trip to see your Mother and sisters..and I am sure all of your family will be so happy to see you....Have a big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ at Bingo I have my fingers :crossed: for you...It will come in handy for your trip..
Have fun a the BD party tommorrow...Have a great evening :love: :wave:

Dana...Thank-you so much for :cheers: for the weight loss.. I hope that you are right about the 25 Chickie coming soon... I sure hope so....but I dont think it wil be next week.... I hope in a couple weeks...:lol:
I am sorry about your sewing machine..that you didnt get your beach bags made to sell....Maybe you can get a sewing machine alter on.. I have seen them as low as 99.00 at Walmart.. I dont know anything about sewing machines and maybe those are not real good ones..but with your talent and all I am sure you could make alot of different things to sell at the beach next year or on Ebay...Your pooter sounds like mine.....Possesssed..:lol:..
Have a safe and wonderful time at MB.. I will thinking about you and wishing I was there...Have a great evening :love: :wave:

Mr Ken...Thank you for the :cheers: for the weight loss..
Way to go on your 1.6 loss..:bravo: :cp: :cheers:
I knew you could do it...Have a great evening :love: :wave:

Hello....
Went to the Bridal shower over the weekend.. It was real nice.. Alot of really nice people there... Had a great time.. Didnt do anything Sunday.. I was a lazy bumb...I should have.... but I layed around and watched TV read the paper ..did a crossword.....The weather was not good enough for the pool.. Sun was in and out.. so we stayed in...

Hi everyone..i cant beleave its evening and im the first to post today..you all must be busy or gone on vacation :lol: i spent the day at the dmv.. we had to wait 3 hrs to get licence tabs for our old car :( it was ridiculous.. we took our number and then waited we even left for awhile and came back.. and still waited.. finally took 1 min to get the tabs.. i would have left but didnt want to waste another day there..also got travelers checks for our trip..seems i was gone along time for just 2 things :lol: we had a mama moose with a new baby walk thru our yard while i was gone and i missed it :( my dh said she stayed in the yd for over an hour and he did get pictures so hope they turn out..will check in tomorrow to see what you all have been up to :mag: inquiring minds want to know :lol: ((((((hugs))))))) rosey :wave:

Hello Everyone.....
Rosey..sorry that I didnt get in here yesterday.. I had errands and then I went to the pool for the day.. It was a beautiful sunny day and today is the same.. I hope to go for a few hours then its off to water class tonight..
I came home from the pool yesterday and had some things to do and I didnt get a chance to get on the pooter......Today I have somemore things to do like laundry and cleaning etc... then its off to the pool again..:cp:

Rosey... I cant wait to see the pictures of the Mommy Moose and Baby.. I bet that was so cute...I am going to get one of those 1 time use cameras to take to the pool and take some pictures of the pool party and the 4th party.
Please tell your hubby to take some pictures of your beautiful garden and all the lovely flowers..
I know what you mean about DMV..They are always so busy here..Its a day trip to go to any of them for anything....I think thats everywhere...no matter where people live.. It seems that all DMV's are trhe same... slow slow slow.
I found the new pasta called Dreamfields.. Its is a reduced carbs and its really good.. Looks like regular pasta..tastes like it and cooks like it.. It is really really good.. I got it at our Safeway grocery store.. I dont know if you have one there..but its really worth trying to get it.. It says its only 5 digestiable carbs in a serving..I found this pasta on TV.. There are commercials for it..They said if you dont like it..you get your money back..well they are right its really good..Not like wheat pasta or the other that tastes like cardboard.. this is unreal and good...Almost to good to be true..but I researched it on the internet and they have somehow made it from real ingrediants and altered the flour and thats why you dont have the carbs.. like reg.pasta.. anyway.. if you get the chance try it.. it great..
Go on line at www.dreamfields.com and see where you can get it..
It wont be long and you will be on your way to see your Mom and sisters..
I know you must be excited to go....Glad you got your Traverlers Checks..
Thats the best way to go when going on a long trip..what are your plans for the 4th??? We are going to the pool of course..:lol: if the weather is good..
I will make some Dirty Rice and Chicken Wings and salad.. Next weekend is the Big Pool Party here.. It will be catered..Hot dogs..hambugers..and all the fixens...Mac salad....Pot salad..baked beans..Chips and dips....beer and soft drinks....and much much more..They are having home made ice cream too..
It should be really great..Cant wait..
I am praying for this good weather to last..
Hope that you are enjoying the day Rosey...I have to go.. Got lots to do before class tonight....Hope that your weather is good too..
Take Care..:love: :wave:

I know that Donna..Dana...Daphne..are on vacation....and having a great time....I miss...you All...and I am happy that you are on vacation and enjoying yourselves.....Enjoy..:love: :wave:

I fix them on the 4th to take to the pool and now the 2 places I always get them do not carry them..Go figure..anyway I have been on the web and I have found some but I have to drive about 30 min. to get them.. I will decided later..when to go...
Tonight I have water class again... I was really whipped last night..When I miss a class I can really tell it.. I am gonna try not to miss anymore..but I cant say what will happen.. The last one was due to taking my friend to get her stiches out..so if duty calls..but I hope I can get all 3 per week.....

Lots to do for the 4th...We have friends coming and I hope that the weather will hold off and be nice..

Rosey....I am so sorry about the fires..Thats awful.. I sure hope they get them out and they dont head you way..Hope that your asthma gets better..
Those Poor animals in the fire..Its so sad for them..
I didnt see your fires on TV but the morning news I saw wild fires in Arizona.
The looked really bad... Its awful when these fires happens..Is it because its so dry in places?? I am not sure...I hope that all of them can be put out real real soon...and not to return...
I cant wait to see the pictures of the moose and your beautiful flowers..I am sure your scrapbook is really nice.. Your family will love it...
Sounds like you are a busy bee too... Getting ready for your trip..I know that you are excited..and not about flying.... I hope that you can get a nerve pill or something to help you...

I am proud of you too Rosey.. You are going to Curves even when it hurts.....You hang in there Sweetie...You will be surprised how you will feel...I do understand..when I miss a class or 2..I am feeling it...I understand..It will eventually get better..

Kris.....Mr.Ken.. Where are you???????????????:cb: :cb::cb:.....They are on the hunt..

Dee.....Where are you too?????????? :cb: :cb: :cb:....

Hi guys. I haven't left yet. Either during night tonight or real early in morning. It's up to DH since he's only driving this year. Only taking 1 car, MIL"s explorer. I haven't packed any clothes yet but only stuff like drinks and such are in a corner in living room. We have had so much rain that we haven't been able to put things in the camper like we had liked too. Dh is even working today so I have to get gas and empty garbage sometime today.

Summer if it helps any to know this, it most likely will rain/storm on us every day at the beach as usual. My mil and fil have been down there since sunday. They are staying 2 weeks and she said it's stormed every day and some have been bad enough to rip off camper awnings and such. It's not as bad if you know when it's coming but if it's middle of night, you don't have warning to let awnings up and such. We are only yards from the ocean this year. Only 1 camper in front of us which really only means 3 things: long way from bath house, short distance to beach, worse storm conditions with wind. Luckily, we are going to rent a golf cart to help with the bath house scenario. :lol: I hope you have nice weather this weekend though and have a lot of fun. You know that's exercising as well. The pasta you mentioned is on tv commercials and in our Diabetes Forecast magazine but we haven't tried it yet. I certainly will though for brett cause he loves all types of pastas.

Rosey I pray those fires are out soon and your family is safe. Is it arson or something? Have a wonderful time BBQing.

Daphne I've missed you and glad you are getting SOME quieter time. Are you counting down the days before he gets back? Do you have to go pick him up as well? Yes walmart took AC back with no questions asked really. They never even looked in the box that I had in the buggy. She did everything off the receipt but it could have been empty box for all she knew? :shrug:

Well I must get up from here. It's nearly 10:30 already and I have too much to do that it makes me sick to my stomach just to think about it. All the kids are still sleeping. I will get to leave on one good note, I did lose my weight back down to actually deserve my chicky! :lol: I will be getting post cards for you so be looking for them if I had your address. I love you all dearly and will miss you. Everyone stay safe while I"m gone.

:wave: have a good time dana. it was canada day yeterday, which is canadian version
of july 4th.
rosey ihope the fires are better and the bbq wasn't at one of the fires :lol:

Hello Everyone...
Its been a interesting holiday weekend... It rained Sat..Sun...and some today... We didnt go to the Fireworks on Sat.. they changed it due to more rain expected on Sunday and it stopped raining at dark on Saturday and they did the fireworks then..Now all the different towns around here do thier own thing when it comes to fireworks.. Some even have rain dates that will happen into this week.. We wont go to those.. The Fireworks on The Mall in DC goes on rain or shine..We dont get caught-up in that mess.. To many people and tooooo much traffic.. We had a nice time Saturday with a cook-out at the pool..and friends there it was so nice..Hubby was off today due to the 4th being on Sunday...I got nothing done..if you know that I mean..
Trying to play catch up tomorrow and I have things I must do...
I was upset cause I didnt get to class tonight..Our company didnt leave untill this evening.. What can I say..Oh well tomorrow is a another day..:lol:

Rosey...Sorry you were lonesome.. I have been so busy with company and all..I really didnt have time to get in here..and it was storming too...Late afternoon and evening....We were mad about that.. I wanted good weather..
I guess it could have been worse..
Sounds like you had a great 4th with Grandkids and your family there...I am sure they all had a wonderful time..at the parade and the BBQ...
They sound so cute with thier faces painted with a flag..You are such a great Grammy..with the cookie kit for them.. I know they had to love that..
Way to go on being good about not eating to much...:bravo: :cp:
I was good too....It wasnt easy..there was sooooo much food.. I told myself that next weekend is the big pool party thats being cattered and I am gonna eat then.. :lol:
I hope that those fires are dying down now..I am glad you all are safe..

Hi everyone! I had a relaxing 4th here. I slept in until 10:30 AM and had no time to get ready for Church so DH went alone. Megan had a seizure in the early morning so she was sleeping it off as well. I went to the lake with my neighbor and looked at the craft booths and bought a shaved ice and an elephant ear. Came home and went to neighbors for a BBQ around 6ish. We then left off fireworks for the Indian reservation.:nono: OK they were not exactly legal but not as not legal as others around us!:lol:
Rosey I am so sorry about the fires around you. How are they doing today? How is your breathing doing?
Summer I am so sorry that you didn't get to class again. Things happen for a reason even if we don't always understand or agree with them. Do you have class today? It sounds like you still had a blast with the 4th even with all the rain.
Donna how was your 4th? Are you still gone and when will you be back?
Glen hope that yopu had a fun weekend and kept the beer at bay!:lol:
OK off to do some shopping on line!
Daphne

Pictures from the trip
 

undefinedundefinedundefined :D

Well, we are back....here are a couple of pics to show you what we did in Italy and England. It was fabulous... more later...

Hello Everyone......I have been busy doing just about everything..
Housework and laundry errands and helping some friends..
I did get to the pool yesterday..Hurayyyyyyyy
It was so hot that I stayed in the pool on the lounger most of the time..
The pool was almost empty except for me and 4 other people..it was still nice.. Hubby got off a little early and joined me for awhile..We had fun and then we come home and I fixed dinner.... I was pooped and went to bed early..
Today its over cast and looks like rain today..I hope if it does rain its all gone by the weekend... Its the pool party this weekend..and I want nice weather..
I bought some of those throw-away cameras and I want to take lots of pictures..I have plenty to do today too... always something to do right..
Womans work is never done..:lol:

Rosey.....Hope you won $$$$$$ at Bingo...Sounds like you are having a nice relaxing time with your family....Thats great.. I know how much you love having them there with you..How is the book coming for your trip??
I made reservations for our MB trip in September and we are going to Ocean City Md for a few days at the end of July.. I cant wait....
Have a great day :love: :wave:

Daphne....I am so glad you had a relaxing and a very nice 4th..
Thats wonderful.... I hope that Megan is doing alright....
May I ask whats a elephant ear?? :lol:.. I never heard of them..
We never go anymore to see the fireworks.. We can see them from our street and really from our patio..so thats what we do now..We use to drive to another town and watch them but it got to be toooo much traffic..so now we stay home..I enjoy going to the pool and maybe next year they will leave the pool open to sit up on the upper deck and watch the fireworks.. I have suggested that so we shall see..Yes Sweetie.. we had fun on the 4th even with the rain....it was nice to be there with everyone at the pool and have fun....we missed that last year when hubby was sick...
I have classes on Monday--Wed.--Thurday...Tonight I have a class.. I need it thats for sure...I really enjoy them..but sometimes the poop me out..:lol:
Buddy is home and doing ok and I talked to him yesterday....He said to tell you hello and hoped that everything was good with you and yours... I told him I would tell you that...He is doing as well as can be expected.. He is a fighter and we all keep good thoughts for him everyday.... Bert is doing Ok.. She goes to therapy once a week and that seems to help her and I am hoping she will go to assisted living..That would be really great for her..She needs alot more and at assisted living she would get it..I keep trying to get her family to do that..but I can only do so much..Thank-you for always asking about them...You are so thoughtful...and such a wonderful YAYA friend..I hope that you are enjoing good weather and having some time for you....Did you find some good bargains on line yesterday???
Have a great day :love: :wave:

Hello "Chickies"...

I am trying to get cleaning and some laundry done..Got class tonight..It was hard last night.. When I miss a class its hard to keep up..You would think it would get easier but it seems not...:lol:..Maybe thats a good thing but I was really tired last night and went to bed early..Today it looks like rain anytime..The weather man said it will be a good weekend.. Hurayyy for that..
The pool party should be alot of fun.. Everyone is excited about it..so many things to do.. Childrens games and prizes...Food...Card games..and later at 6:00 with music and more food and dancing..etc....I cant wait..We go to the Dr. tomorrow for check up and weigh-in.. So I have my fingers :crossed:..
I didnt weigh yesterday at the gym.. I will weigh at the gym Monday.. and see if it matches the Dr scales..which so far it has not.. :shrug:


Rosey...Sounds like you needed some rest..Hope that you sleep in today..
I had to laugh about what your Grandson said he like about the cabin.
It was a "boy" thing..:lol:....You are so right about Scarlett's another day..
I try to get things done but most of the time its another day for me too...
Hope you sleep in today and get rested up.. When do you go back to curves?? I have another class tonight and I am sure it will whip-me good..:lol:
Have a great day :love: :wave:
