Hi ladies,

Katy - time for Leigh to kick the habit, lol. Seriously, glad she's better even if she does still sound terrible. Glad the bootcamp is working for you and that you don't have to give up whole grains and other things you like. Sometimes I think people get discouraged when they try to give up too much, don't you? That's the best thing about WW, imho, in that we don't have to live w/o foods we love, as long as we basically eat healthily.

Mindee - well, ok, maybe not drive to and from your parents, but you get the idea.

Cristi - I sure won't be in any hurry for Katie to move out, either. My other 2 moved when they thought it was right for them. Terry moved out at first with some buddies, then came back for a while. Then got his own apartment by himself. Mary got an apartment by herself - a girlfriend was supposed to move with her, but got cold feet at the last minute. Mary was working full-time and going to college, and pulled it off anyway. It was a very small place, but nice and clean. I rummaged through my stored things and we decorated it up real cute. Both Terry and Mary came home to eat often, lol. I can't see Katie moving nearly that young, and hope she doesn't.

Marti - love the hotel!! I took the virtual tour of the king room - very, very nice! You'll have a good soak there! I haven't ever been to SF, but since you have, you know there's lots to do. You've really got something to look forward to!

Miss Susan - hope all is well with you and your girls.

Neal's watching a Law & Order rerun and I'm just goofing off, lol. The birthday party was fun. It was held in a community building (didn't someone ask that?) and so the prep was easy for Gina. Terry had to work all day, so he was unable to help. Mary helped Gina serve everyone and clean up. All the little kids had a blast and Mackenzie made out like a bandit, lol. I took a fruit bar with me (2 points) but didn't mind not having cake since I don't like store-bought cake that much anyway.

Have a good Sunday tomorrow!

Good evening Ladies
Jane, great place to have BD parties, I did that a few times with the boys...ahhh the mess is easy to clean. You do have wilpower girl!

Pam, don't forget the bling bling...a smoking leather jacket and some cool shaes,,,and you are set for a drive. Vrooom!

Marti, nice hotel,,,I know the two of you will have a great time.

Cristi, Congrats on the lost pounds.

Katie, we bought a machine for Brandon when he was small to give him his nebs... he hasn't used it in close to 2 yrs now, would like to say hes out grown his asthma. But I don't want to jinx us.

I have to say I was tired yesterday but did make the play which was hilarous,,,Noises Off. If you get a change to see it,,,see it. A play within a play. Which is weird since Tanner is doing a play within in a play and he auditioned for Pippin which again is a playwithin a play.
That didnt' go well, his cold got the best of him and he could barely sing. His voice coach told Tanner he would call the director and let him know how he really does sing without a cold.
So we both came home, I took a nap and he laid out on the couch.
Tried to get tickets for Green Day, (band) but it was sold out so Ive got Brandon putting feelers out.
Well need to do some work...arghh hate reports.

WOW the kid came through! Even with a cold he got the part! The director called and told him the great news,,,Tanner kept saying thank you,,,thank you,,,and doing a happy dance so I knew he got the part.
Im exhausted now....lol
night all

A very good Sunday morning to everyone

Angie~CONGRAT'S to Tanner for getting the part! Hope you can get tickets to Green Day, Tanner will like that. About the drugs being around, I think when you go to concerts such as that there is always going to be drugs, especially with so many kids today doing them. Ya just gotta trust your kids. When DD and DS went to see Incubus and Tool they said the drugs were everywhere. The guys behind them was passing a joint around and asked them if they wanted some! There is not supposed to be any smoking in the Coliseum at all but they did it anyway and they have security everywhere. But when a concert like those were sold out how are you going to stop it?

Marti~ very nice hotel room. Not really into the asian feel but it is nice and you guys are going to love it! You need to get some bubbly and some bubble bath and lots of candles so you and James can both take a bath together. Hopefully you are up high and have a spectacular view out your window. Are you guys counting down the days? OMG, I just realized it's just a coupel of weeks away!

Jane~never thought to have a BD party at a community center. Of course my BD party days are over which is sad as I so loved to entertain-haven't really done any entertaining in years. Well, I know the kids will move out when they are ready. Just not feasible for Josh, he doesn't make enough money especially after a truck payment, insurance and a phone bill. Plus he is always having to buy some new tool (man are they costly!) for his job. Jason, was working 50-60 hours with his old job but only got paid for 40 and going to WSU which took a big chunk of his money each month. I do give him credit because he likes to pay his own way. I paid for his college when he went to Virginia but since he has been paying his own way. He will not ask for help unless he absolutely needs it and so far he hasn't. School will still take a big chunk of his money but with the new job he is going to be making a lot more than the old job and he does plan on moving out, just not sure when.

Anywho...

Anyone see the new show called Moving Up on TLC? Just started a few weeks ago with Doug from Trading Spaces as the host. They show 3 people/couples who are moving but concentrate on two who are buying one anothers house. Anyway, at the end they each go back to their old house that they just sold to see what the new owners have done to it. I would love to go back and see some of my old houses to see what the new owners did to it. Then of course Genevieve (from Trading Spaces) is the host of the new show Town Haul where they go and redo a whole town. Didn't watch all those shows but caught a few and they finished the first town in New Jersey. Love shows like that.

Just wanted to check in for a few minutes while I was online. V is working again today so I am trying to find a border and a mural online somewhere. Found three murals I like yesterday, one is a filed of tulips and the sky is so pretty and blue! The other is a fall scene and it looks like you are walking down a trail, would look good with some yellow, gold'ish color. And the third I really liked was in the shape of a window and the beach. It actually looked like you were looking out the window at the beach, soooo pretty. Right now, I am leaning towards that with a blue paint color.

Have a great day ladies, ta ta for now!

Hi Girls, Well, 72 Camero wasn't up to DS's standards so it was a no, but something eles was a yes. A Red 2000 Alero. Very sporty, very pretty, new tires, power seats,windows,sun roof,side mirrors, front and side air bags,tilt wheel, climate control,lights go on and off by themselves, alarm and leather interior and I'm still learning about the things it does. Wow, what a car. I spent yesterday playing with it. I busy thinking of places I've just GOT to go! DS evem filled the tank up and right now he's taken it for a oil change. Tomarrow he wants to take it to the dealer to have some little imperfections fixed, like replacing some trim around one of the windows and replacing some faded door trim around the handles. He's also getting the belts and hoses checked and radiator back flushed. He's a perfectionist where his cars are concerned. Good thing for me to. YIPI He made the seller get it detailed before he bought it.

Skip on over to chit chat #115, please.... see ya there!
