Hello..Yes, I am feeling a little better tonight. My ears still hurt and I don't think the meds are working. I guess I will stay on them and go back to the Dr. when the pills are gone.
I walked twice again today, even though it really wiped me out. Came in and took a nap both times. :)
Sounds like everyone has been so busy. Makes me feel like I am being lazy!

Susan- I am sorry to hear about you and Rocky. With all the good things happening for you lately I can't help but think something else is right around the corner. My DD did the internet dating, met 3 or 4 guys and even had one or two she dated several times. When she got tired of trying to find "the one" she met HIM at her friend's restaurant. The bonus is he is local.

Jane- I have always thought I would like to fix up an older house. I know you are going to have fun..really..even if it is exhausting.

Cristi- I hope your foot gets better quickly. Can't really do much walking if you hurt. I grin every time I read that you are going to watch Jeopardy. I am a big fan too.

Anita- Great pictures. You and your daughter are beautiful. What's this about alligators?

Donna- Welcome. Come in and join the fun!

Everyone....Talk to you all next time. I just found out it is midnight. Time flies when you are having fun. (and I have to be up walking by 6:30.)

Good morning ladies!

I am dragging again...it has to be this weather and the fact that the last three nights we have had bad thunderstorms and I keep waking up at 3 am only to toss and turn. Our back yard has standing water, the fence is literally sitting in the water. Didn't think it would ever quit and it was coming down hard. Supposed to get even more today and tomorrow. Seems there never really is a medium is there? First it is too dry and hot and we want cool and rain and then we get the rain and it rains and rains and rains! Makes you wonder what this winter is going to be like. I guess it could be worse...

Jane~ankle, actually the back of my heel, not sure why I said ankle. It has a big ugly bruise across it but it is actually much better so I can get a walk in, yay! I am so sorry to hear about the twins' puppy. That is so sad, lots of(((((HUGS))))) to them. Don't ya just hate dealing with the phone co.? I swear everytime we have had to deal with them (SBC) they make things worse. Didn't get anything good from UPS-I wish...just a DVD player that was free when we signed up with Direct tv. We don't need one and that's not the reason we signed up (cheaper than cable) so don't know what we'll do with it, maybe give it to DD. I hope you plan on sharing pics with us of what you guys do to the house, I just know it is going to be beautiful!

Susan~you know in your heart what you have to do, and if the relationship is working or not. And hey, like Sue said, there is probably something new around the corner for you. When you least expect it is when it will happen. :)

Sue~glad to hear you are feeling a little better. Can I ask what is wrong with your ears? I ask because DD has gone to the doc twice for her ears and ther first time the doc told her to take some Dimetap at night. She flushed them out with water but didn't see any infection. That didn't help and she went back Monday and this time was given some nasal spray and allegra. She said sometimes if you are having sinus problems it effects the ear. She is stumped as to what to do because she can't see anything wrong with her ears but they are hurting her. Anyway, WTG for getting your walk in!

Hi to everyone else :wave:

I am getting ready to do my walk and then run to Penneys to pick up the fall catalog, then off to the show. Going to go see Wedding Crashers. DS and his GF went to see it and he said it was boring, but then his taste in movies is a little different than mine so it might actually be decent. I need to get back home and get some cards ready to be mailed, I am falling behind on my card sending. Oh, almost forgot...decided to go ahead and share the pics after all, rather than try and move everything to photo bucket. So when I get the newer ones added there I will share them. There's only two new ones of me in the one album and you can't really see how my hair is cut. Doesn't really matter though...I am going to go get it cut again in a couple of weeks, same cut, just shorter. This length is really bothering me. So take a gander if you like. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/givingthanks04/my_photos

Have a good day ladies :wave:

Hello!

Cristi--Enjoyed your photos! I looked at the fence building....you live in a beautiful area!! Gorgeous house. Nice patio! And the photos of you are beautiful too. I liked your hair. Looks very pretty. But I understand about wanting it cut to make you feel better. I just had my sister cut my hair a week ago....about 5in off. It's still long though! thanks for sharing your pictures.

Sue--Even when you're not feeling well you still manage to get in your walks. You're doing a fabulous job!! So very proud of you!

Anita--You too have beautiful pictures!! Joycelyn is getting so big. She is such a cutie!! She got those cheeks that you just want to smother with kisses!!!! ok.....got me curious, is "up to my (_|_) in alligators" a saying in your area or do you really work w/alligators?? :lol:

Jane-- I'm w/Cristi here, please send those DGD's a huge hug. ((((hugs)))) Their poor puppy!! Glad to hear that the satellite man came before your soaps!! :D

Hello to all I missed!!

I need to get going. Much cleaning to do before work!

Oh before I forget..............


WELCOME DONNA!! :wave:

Hi ladies,

Susan - my heart is in Indiana. But I'd sure love to visit Hawaii. :D

Sue - I don't think you're lazy at all! Look at all the walking you're getting in!

Cristi - Katie and her friends saw The Wedding Crashers and she really liked it. Maybe it's a chick flick? She didn't say whether the guys liked it or not. Thanks for sharing the photos! You're a pretty gal, Cristi. Not sure if I mentioned I got my hair layered again. Now I don't have much of a part, so the gray doesn't show as fast, lol. What kind of style are you going for?

Marti - did you get your cleaning done? Never ends, does it?

Cristi and Marti - thank you so much for the Hugs for my DGDs. :) They're doing better about it today, Mary said.

Katy - hope you and yours are having lots of fun on vacation.

Well, I got the back porch all cleaned off, and set up the lawn chairs. The porch is enclosed, with windows that open to the yard, so I've got a nice breeze coming through. The phone company got the lines in, but now, according to the recorded message they left, I think they gave me all the bells and whistles on my computer line, which I don't need or want. So I'll have to call them back and get that straighted out now. Geez-o-pete!!

I've had a really good day. How's yours been?

Back again for just a few minutes.

Thanks ladies!

Loved the Wedding Crashers, thought it was funny! :lol: What's crazy is...I think there are people out there who really do that. And the funeral...that is just wrong but I have known a couple of people who have met at a funeral.

Jane~just going for the same layered look now, but just shorter. Yay, for getting the back porch cleaned! :cp:

Marti~jeez, 5 inches! Do you have any hair left girly? Last picture I saw of you looked like your hair was short, it must grow really fast. I would love to have the thick, curly hair you have though. I miss seeing your smiling face in your avatar. You too Jane!

Anyway, should get going. Got back in time for Jeopardy only to find directv having technical difficulties so missed it. :( Speaking of which, Sue, I do enjoy watching the show, one of my favs! I always try to be home for it or done with things around the house. Gotta go...have a good one ladies! :wave:

well, my doctor's appointment went great. His heart rate is in the 150's and he is doing great. My fundal height is measuring 32 1/2cms, and since I am 32 weeks today, that seems right on track.

Oh yeah, my doctor told me that I have only gained 5lbs this whole pregnancy. I think their scale is off.....LOL. Although I did have all that extra weight left over from Brandon, so it is all good.

Brandon also got his second hair cut today. He looks so cute, I will have to take some pictures with our non-digital camera. Granted it helped mommy holding/feeding him smarties while he sat on the booster seat. Then when he was all done he got to have a sucker.

Jane~ Nope, right now I still go every two weeks. I am not sure when I will be switched to the every week, but I am sure that it will be at my next appointment or the one after that.

Hawaii is very beautiful Jane- kind of a tropical paradise.....hahaha. I enjoyed the adventure back in Nov but I missed my kids something terrible. When I stepped out of the MAX train after I landed in Portland the air just was so refreashing - cool. I missed that.
I think Rocky liked it here too but taking him out of Hawaii would be odd for him. He just feels like at 50 - who would hire him?

I am 154. I totally feel so fat lately. I have no clothes that I like to wear. I am going to buy some shoes/nylons and maybe a blouse before me job starts next Wednesday.........omg- getting excited now :)

The residents had cake for me and my boss gave me a card w/ flowers. Also someone gave me a wind chime - it was so nice. My boss is the greatest, I am going to miss him & the residents too.

Welcome Donna :)

I finally made Gaby a medical appt for her speech- excited about that also......

better get :)

I'm back for a few....

Jane--Yep, got my cleaning done and made sure I got myself a workout while doing it! My floors should be clean enough to eat off of!! (eww....I don't think so, w/two little mugglies running on them all the time! :lol: )

Cristi--Unfortunately my hair does grow fast. It's hard when it gets too long and I just can't do anything w/it! My hair is just below my shoulders now and really layered. Almost looks like it's at the stage when you're trying to grow out the layers! :D

Mindee--Jhanai loved getting her hair cut when she was little so we never had to feed her candy or anything to keep her still. My neice is the same way. She saw that I was getting my hair done and when I was finished, she plopped herself on the seat and told my sister "me now mama!" :) It was too cute.

Susan--It has to be hard on the both of you w/the choice of who to move and why. You have your girls and he has his son. You both want the best for your kids.
How sweet of your coworkers to bring in a cake!! You deserve it and good luck on the new job.

Ok ladies...must finish doing my hair and then get ready for work.

You all have a great day! Tomorrow is Friday and I took Monday off so it means an extra long weekend again!!
