Angie we are suppose to be getting rain later on in the day. Oh well grass needs it I guess. I am freezing right now, it is only like 60 degrees. I think today I will do some cleaning, scrubbing floors, sinks and dust and like always pick up toys.
Last night hus went with the kids to the in-laws (out-laws ) and I thought my dad is all alone today (parents are divorced and my bro. lives in CA.), so I took the hour drive to get to his house, brought steaks, baked potatoes and we cooked out. It was really nice. I have not seen him for a while and when he hugged me when I first got there he said "you are losing weight, and getting to skinny, I can feel your bones!" That made me feel good. And then we went and pigged out . After dinner we and sat on his second story deck that is the length of his new house he just built on a lake and it was soooo beautiful, the sun was shining off the water and you could here a pin drop. It was fun, but I didn't get home until late but thats okay I took the back way country roads and cranked up the radio. I am never alone in the car so it was so weird and fun at the same time.
Anyway enough about me, come on everyone lets post today and the rest of the week. I pigged out this weekend, lets get this thread hopping !
Julie, That is nice that you spent the day with your Dad. His house and surroundings sound beautiful. I like to drive with the radio blaring and on back quiet roads too. Except that me and Jay are always together so there is no need to drive anywhere alone so I havent done it in about 6 years and now I am scared to. I know I am way to dependant on him. I hate it in a way but I love it that we both love to be together all the time at the same time. (if that makes any sense.)
Happy Monday to you all... I hope everyone had a nice weekend...
Angie you are making me drool thinking about lobster I could be like Bubba in Forrest Gump going on and on...lobster tail, lobster rolls, lobster souffle, lobster bisque, lobster chowder...you get the picture. Scooters sound like to much fun and way too cool! lucky kids!
Noelle how did the home show go? I hope it was fun and successful
Cal countdown to Alaska trip! I am so excited for you. I hope you can post pics when you come back.
Kempy how are you doing? I hope this finds you out of oppressive humidity and doing well.
I liked my weekend - one of my oldest friends got married and it was a back yard wedding - so pretty and I say alot of people I have not seen in ages...My brothers got baptized and my youngest brother (who is 16) called and asked that I'd be there. It was so touching. Father's day was fine - after presents and grilling my dad just wanted to watch the US Open. I cannot do golf on TV but I lasted a little while my dog was wrestling and playing with my brothers...

Just checking in again. Going to have broccoli, cheese and bacon salad, and bean stuffed smothered enchiladas for supper. What is everyone else having?
Kempy where are you today . Miss ya.
Angie yes my Dad's place is beautiful, I wish I could live up there. You know I am way to dependant on my husband too. I am just a little different I would not want to be with him 24/7 !!!! I think we would drive each other crazy. But maybe if we had your profession of baking we would get along because the goodies would make me happy all the time .
Well check in later. Oh btw I am kind of starting a new diet today....super high fiber. I was reading an article that the average person should get 25-35 grams a day. And in the article it said people in rural areas of the world average about 60 grams a day. They have less diseases and weight problems. How in the world could the average person eat that much here? Talk later! Julie
Hey Julie, I had fried chicken breast with potato and corn and of course I ate so much that I feel really full now. Will I ever learn?
I bought the doctor Phil Weightloss book this weekend and Monday(right AFTER the party this Saturday) I am going to start reading it in the evenings when I have the most trouble with my eating so maybe it will keep me focused on weightloss for a while so I can get my "click" back. Plus Corey and Brittany are feeling the effects of not eating right and they want to start a new healthier way of eating. So maybe we can get this again. Third time is a charm right? I know it took me 3 times to actually quit cigs for good so maybe I will be the same way with weightloss. Ramble...ramble...ramble....
Summer, I am with you, I would rather watch paint dry than watch golf. haha
I am trying to get my money back from Shutterly. I ordered prints of the 2 pics of me and my family and me,and my sis,me and Clyde from them. I was going to give everyone copies in nice frames for their birthdays. Well they came back and they had actually cut me and my sister in half on them!!!! I am so pissed because the party is Saturday and they wont email me back. I am so going to make them refund my money.
Angie: It was 106 degrees today. Way too hot. Ashley played in the pool with her cousins. They looked like prunes when they finally got out. It's 7:30 now and she's already nearly asleep. She told me that she wants to go to bed because she's soooo tired. I'm trying to keep her up until 8 so she'll sleep in tomorrow to at least 6am. Yes, she is an earlybird.
Summer: I am so looking forward to our trip. Hubby said yesterday was 80 degrees and he was hot. That would be sweater weather here. It's really hard to remember to include sweatshirts, long pants, and sweaters for this trip. We usually don't need stuff like that until January or February (when we get the 2 weeks of winter) Most of our things are already packed. I also hope I can post some pics when I get back. We got a new scanner and I'm still trying to figure it out.
Noelle: I hope you are all rested from the home show.
Hello to everyone I've missed.
Cal
7:45 now and Ashley lost her battle with the sandman.
Good Morning. Not much happening today for me. I heard that it may rain on Saturday for the party. That will suck if I have to squeeze everyone into the house and keep an eye on Rebel around the 2 cousin (teenage boys) that dont mind. I wouldnt want Rebel to bite them.(even though I would like to slap them myself. ) Usually when we have it outside I just gate him into the feild while they are here.
Cal, I am so excited for you to be going to Alaska. What kind of temps do you get for your 2 weeks of winter. Did Ashley sleep in for you. I cant get my kids to go to bed early.I wished they would. haha
Kempy and Noelle, I hope we hear from you today.Busy girls.
Hey guys. Sorry, things have been crazy around here. Joe was out of town last week and this week so I was spending what little time I had with him. Now I am trying to get a vaction planned for my early graduation gift. Plus, I have to keep up with my work and school. I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the big day being next week but I will get over it. I bet I am getting all worked up over nothing. I ma sorry I don't have time to stay and read all of the posts. I have to get back to work. I will try really hard to get back here either tonight and if not then tomorrow.
Thanks Angie for the PM. I guess I get a little caught up in things sometimes.
Hello Hello, I'm here. I came here and tried to post yesterday but I had people coming in and out in the afternoon so I didn't have a chance to finish. I have been lurking though. If it makes anyone else feel better, it's raining here right now. The home show gave us some good results. We got lots of leads and two solid bookings + we sold a $4K bathtub that we had sitting around the warehouse a few months . I'm still recuperating from the weekend. I really need to start exercising again. When I wake up I feel tired--that sucks! I know when I was walking regularly I could stay up til 11 or 12 at night and wake up at 6 the next morning totally refreshed. Now I want to be in bed by 9 and don't wanna wake up until 7 and I'm still feeling tired. What's it gonna take? I know I need WW again. The threat of having to weigh in weekly to a live body keeps me on track for the week. I'm too embarrassed to go back weighing more than I did when I started. I'm pretty sure they see it all the time though. After all, if everyone who lost weight kept it off, they wouldn't be in business would they?
Angie, I'll pray for sunny skies for the weekend for you. Did you hear back from Shutterfly? Is that something where you upload your pics to them and they send the prints back? I can try to print them for you if you like. The auto crop feature on my software wants to cut half of you and Wendy out too. I don't know why that is. I'll play around w/it sometime today. (I have the Dr. Phil book too but I haven't gotten past the first chapter )
Cal, 108, yikes! Sweater weather @ 80 . You two girls must be anticipating your upcoming trip. Sounds like so much fun. I'll pm you my address for a postcard, that would be great.
Summer, I'm with you on the lobster . One of my favorite sushi is a lobster and asparagus roll, oh man, now I'm drooling You sound like you had a fun, full weekend. I can't wait for the next one to roll around.
Julie, you dad's house sounds so peaceful. I would much rather spend the day with my dad than my inlaws too . It's hard when you have to divide your time with so many different family members on those special occasions. How's your new high fiber plan coming along?
Kempy, where are ya? Already wrapped up in DU planning? I would love to see those pretty dogs in action. I just watched something on Animal Planet that said the Lab Retriever was rated the #1 family dog in America. I would have to agree.
Well, gots to get back to work for a while. Check back w/ya ladies a little later.
Kempy, gosh graduation is coming up right around the corner, how cool! What do you think your vacation destination will be (or did I miss an earlier post?)....
Oh Kempy, 30 isnt so bad. I dont even remember my 30th birthday. Just a heads up though.... I got you a joke card for your birthday so dont hate me when you get it okay. Do you think you and Joe will do anything special?
Noelle, Alright girlie. It sounds like the home show was a huge success. My Dad has got the pics copied for me. He got it figured out before I could. Nope I havent heard anything back from Shutterfly. I am pretty dissappointed with them. Yep, they downloaded the pics right off my computer.
Julie, Come out and play!!!
Whats for supper tonight? I am making hot dogs and tater tots. YUM
I have just a few mins to pop on so I thought I would.
Noelle DU hasn't really started yet but I am sure it will be a little easier this year since we know what we are doing now. I can't imagine having to do this every year. I took a great pic of the dogs yesterday. When I got hom ehtey were both asleep in their Igloo dog house so I snuck (sp) up to the kennel and snapped a pic. Of course that woke them up but once I develop it I think it will be cute. I agree that labs are great as pets. A little needy sometimes but that is coming from a cat person. I love all animals though.
We are going to Destin, FL. We love it there. We go every year so why stop now. I was just having a hard time finding something that I liked. We are going in Aug. I wont be done with school until Sept. but we wont have time then to head out for a whole week.
Angie I wont get upset about the card. I just think it is great that you are sending one. Thanks. I don't think we have anything planned. He hasn't said anything to me but I don't think I really want to know if he did plan something. Last year we had a party but I had to plan it and this year I want someone to plan it instead of me. It isn't fun when you have to paln your own b-day party.
Noelle, I had fudge for breakfast!!! I guess we have lost the click for now huh? We will get it back. I wished we were all closer so we could make each other workout and eat healthier. We could have dinners together where we take turns cooking a healthy meal. That would be fun!!
Kempy, I know it sucks to have to do the planning and shopping for your own party. Just think when I do my parties noone ever really thinks of me because the twins come first and the last 2 years have been my parent Over The Hill party so I kind of get lost in it. (The twins have gotten lost for the last 2 years too. ) This year they have their scooters so they wont have much to open but I am going to let them have a few friends over some afternoon for swimming(If we can keep it warm for more than one day in a row)
Angie, so when's everyone moving to Hawaii? We have great weather for exercising most of the year (so WHY don't I do it?), an abundance of fresh fruits, fish and nice, tanned men
) and I thought my dad is all alone today (parents are divorced and my bro. lives in CA.), so I took the hour drive to get to his house, brought steaks, baked potatoes and we cooked out. It was really nice. I have not seen him for a while and when he hugged me when I first got there he said "you are losing weight, and getting to skinny, I can feel your bones!" That made me feel good. And then we went and pigged out 
!
I hope everyone had a nice weekend...
I could be like Bubba in Forrest Gump going on and on...lobster tail, lobster rolls, lobster souffle, lobster bisque, lobster chowder...you get the picture. Scooters sound like to much fun and way too cool! lucky kids!
