Good Afternoon. We had the party and me and my mom got a little drunker than we should have. I think she got sick in my bathroom and they took her home.I am trying to sober up a bit so I can see straight right now. It was fun though but I am NOT a good drinker. I had WAY too many margaritas!!!!!! She cried at the DVD we had made from all of the old pics. It was a cute DVD though.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

[angieME]

Good Morning girls!!! It is sunny and warm here today....too bad I have to work. I am trying to type right now and Little Gray saw the smiley face on the treadmill on my signature and is trying to grab it. haha

The party turned out good but I was a little unimpressed that my grandmother(my Moms mom) didnt come to the party. She helped us gather the pics of my mom for the DVD so I figured she would at least have come to watch it. Her Brother didnt come either. Me and Mom had fun anyways. I will try to post a few pics in a minute. I will warn you they arent good because Brit just snapped while everyone was almost peeing themselves laughing.

I want so bad to start my diet tomorrow. I hope I have the will power to stick with it this time because if I dont then I will be back up to 265 pounds again before I know it. I want to feel healthy again and not lazy.

[angieME]

The first pic is of me laughing.

The second one is of Clyde,Mom,Me and my neice Haley.

The third one is my Mom with her cake that I stuck 50 candles in. That puppy was hot!! (I tried it in a cupcake but the poor cupcake couldnt take it and it fell apart.

The Fourth one is what the poor cake looked like by the time we could get all of the candles out. haha

The last one is me with a cupcake. (My sister made me do it since all I do is complain that there are no pics of me with a birthday cake growing up.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I keep forgetting what day it is. I love being off right now.

It is so hot here. I have to do any outside activities (ie shopping) before 7am or it's too hot and very draining. Even the kids in the neighborhood are gone. Ashley has been so bored because all her neighborhood friends are on vacation, at camp, or in daycare during the day. It is so quiet here.

Last night at 10pm it was still 104 outside. I am soooo looking forward to our trip to AK. Of course, as Angie mentioned before, it will be hard adjusting to heat again when we come back.

It is almost 7am here and so I'd better get busy working.

FYI--they say Arizona (Phoenix area specifically) is where the devil vacations.

I will say one thing about the heat: most winter visitors have left and the traffic, near where I live, has thinned.

ANGIE, all I can say is I wish I was at your party it looks like you and everyone had a blast! I am so bored, I have not been invited to a party like that in ages. I love that you put 50 candles on the cake. I believe in you, and that you will get back on track, all though you do look great in the pictures. You will feel healthy again, and you are NOT lazy, you are very hard working!

Kempy, glad to see you checked in. I kinda have been feeling in a slump or down latley. Oh well I am going to give myself a break TOM is due in one week. Yuck!

Cal 104 degrees at 10p.m. thats smoking girl! But I am glad the traffic has thinned out for ya.

Noelle where are ya hiding? Did your little guy keep you at the beach this weekend? I hope you are having fun. You have been working like a dog too! We have a local zoo here so that is where the kids went yesterday and had fun looking at the animals, and then stopped for ice cream at Dairy Queen. But I did not cave in. I did not order anything! Yeah, but ate like a pig at supper! Hahahaha

Well everyone is sitting here looking at me so I guess that means I am needed or should get off the computer. Talk later....Julie

[angieME]

WOW Cal, 104. I sure hope your air conditioner works good. What does everyone do during the summer for activities? I would just stay inside all the time. It must be the equivalent of winter for us. I am glad the tourists have left you with some peace and quiet though.

Julie, It was fun but now I know why I am not a drinker. :lo: My sister has been going out almost every night lately and I dont know how she can do it. I can honestly say that I have seen enough Margaritas for a while. My poor mother was so drunk though.

[angieME]

Good Morning Beautiful Ladies!!!!! I am going to try my hardest to change my eating habits to a more healthy lifestyle starting right now. I know it wont be easy but I also know I need to do it. If I must absolutely have something not so good I am going to try to make it stop there and not beat myself up about it.

Kempy, I got your card today. Thank you!! It was so cute. Gotta love the kitties. Did you have a good weekend? I hope so.

I started my Dr. Phil book today. I figured it cant hurt to read it. Who knows, I may learn why I keep losing only to regain it all back again. It said that 95% of all dieters gain all the weight back that they lost. That made me feel alittle less like a freak. I just want to once and for all lose it and keep it off.

Today is my Dad's 51 birthday. I should go decorate his car while he is at work. haha I wanted to take the big Over the Hill banner and do that to my Mom's car on July 1 while she is at work. haha She would probably kill me.

Well, I hope everyone gets a chance to check in today.

[Kempyd]

I tried to get on yesterday but we had some bad lighting storms so I didn't want to chance blowing up my computer.

Angie it looks like you guys had a blast. I wish I would have been there. I love pictures like that when no one is really posing for them. I think it really says how people really are. And those pics say that you guys are lots of fun.

Cal that is pretty darn hot. What gets us here is the humidity. It is 82% right now and the temp is 86. Not a pleasant combo. We are like you guys in that we stay inside most of the summer. I think if I had a pool I would be outside more though. It helps if you can jump in and cool off.

Julie I saw on the weather channel the other day those tornados you were talking about. Scary stuff. Did you know that we are the only place in the world to have them?

My boss is gone today so I will have time to chat. Plus, I have to work on a report for school so it helps when he isn't here wanting me to do actual work. hehe

[Kempyd]

Hey girl, we were posting at the same time. Be on the look out for something else in the mail. I guess the card just got there first. After I sent it I didn't know if what I wrote on the inside made any sense. I meant that when I was going out for dinner I would be thinking about you guys while I was eating that fattening pasta. I have been dying for some so I will be splurging on my b-day. Joe wont let me open anything until my b-day so I will thank you know and once I open it. He is so crazy about that. I kills me too. I have them sitting on the kitchen table so I look at them every time I am in there. Which seems to be alot latley.

[angieME]

Kempy, How can you guys stand that kind of humidity. We havent even been really warm this summer yet. It rained the day of the party so we were inside most of the time...until we got a little drunk and then we were outside and loud. Luckily for my neighbors it is only once a year.

I saw the tornados on the Weather Channel too. I told Jay that you guys get the worst of everything up there. Bad winters and Tornados. I would be so scared all through tornado season. Do you have a special shelter just in case or anything?

Kempy, Have you ever been through a tornado?

[Kempyd]

I have never even seen a tornado. They say that we have some around here but I have neever been close. There was one yesterday along with some hail but we just got LOTS of rain at my house. Sometimes I think my house should start to float off with all of the rain that we get. I am keeping my fingers crossed that is dosen't rain today. You kind of get used to the humidity. One the days that it is 50% it is like a treat. Everyone is out enjoying the day and event hat is high to some poeple.

[angieME]

I am back again!! I am trying to find a DVD-Recorder. We spent $90.00 on the DVD for my mom and we dont want to pay him to make copies. Plus I need to copy all of my VHS movies of the kids on to DVD's so we dont lose them. I am so bad with computers that I dont know what I need to buy though. I might have Dad come up and help me.

Kempy, You guys have been having a rainy year havent you? I was watching $40.00 A Day on the food channel this weekend and she went to New Orleans. It looked lively and the food was so yummy looking that I dont know how you dont weigh 400 pounds living there. They say that New Orleans is one of the best places in the USA to eat.

Noelle, Thank you for my gift. They are so pretty. I love the bag because pink is my favorite color.

[Kempyd]

You don't have to tell me about the food here. I can tell when we go somewhere that the food here is the best. I think some places are sacred to add spice but I think the more the better. I showed Joe that map you sent and that just makes hi want to plan a trip up there even more. He wants to go hunting up there. I will have to see if I can find out when the season starts so we can look into coming up there. That way, he can hunt and I can hang out with you. Sounds like fun huh?

Have you tried looking on BestBuy.com or Circuitcity.com? I bet they have what you are looking for.

[angieME]

Here is a poem that Clyde wrote for my Dad today. It is pretty cute huh? She did them all month for Mom.

Well Steve, today you turn Fifty-One,

Much too Old to have any fun!

Can you even remember when you were young and stout?

Now all you look forward to, is going to bed and taking your teeth out!!

When you got up this morning, it must have really hurt,

When you came to the realization, that you are older than dirt!!!

And it must suck to know that your not as young as me...

and to actually know that you will NEVER BE!!!

Well, I guess I will stop now, because I hate to gloat,

Happy 51st you old #@#@ng Goat!!!!!


Love Ya!


PS Tell Margaretta Mama, that she will be getting an e-mail in a few days!

Kempy, What does he want to hunt? I think turkey hunting just happened.Deer and Moose hunting is in the fall. But I think they already did the Moose drawing for this year. I could be wrong though. Greenville is the place to go for Moose hunting since they are usually everywhere. It is ALL woods up here. I want to take the kids to Baxter State Park sometime but camping spots are all booked a year in advance. They have a rock that we used to slide down when we were little. The hiking is supposed to be nice.

Good Morning Girls

Angie I have to say it again, I wish I was at the party. It did look like alot of fun. I never get invited to parties or anything. I told my hus we don't even have any friends. We basically just do stuff with our kids. I might go get a part time job just to have some adult interaction. You will have to let us know how the dr. phil book goes. I like his kick butt attitude. I know what you mean about the weather not being that warm. But is suppose to get warm here. We do have a basement to go in when they give the warning. Part of our basement has windows so we would have to go to the back part.

Kempy I think you should spurlge on your birthday. It is your special day so go for it!

I am going to try and stay on plan this week. Because it is pms week and feel the water collecting in me all ready. I might go and buy a diuretic, just a plain one w/o pain relievers. I was reading the news and saw the that Dick Cheney told another senator to F off and he would not apolgize, all he would say something like "I replied rather forcefully and felt better after I done it!" I thought that was so funny. What a hard a**. hahahaha....check in later, whats everyone making for dinner? Julie
