Hi ladies, back for a few minutes.

Okay, so am I the only one? I had been posting on the *other* thread for so long I went to that one, UGH! Funny, it's like we never existed...life definitely went on without us at the click of a button.

KATY...I too thought it a drastic response...the vanishing threads. But as always...someone else made up our minds for us before we even had a chance to do so or to speak for ourselves because it is within her right, so she said. Anyway...hoping little Leigh doesn't come down with anything. Bet the girls had fun together. You might have the stinkiest drive way, but I bet you have the greenest yard on the block! Someone around here had some on their lawn. A couple of days ago the wind was blowing the smell this way, pu!

SUSAN...hugs to you! Hope you hear something soon and it's all good. I didn't realize you had so many siblings. For some reason thought it was just you and your sis. Gaby sounded so cute, where's my friend. Glad you heard from R and glad you get to see RAchel tomorrow.

Okay, I better get going. Just wanted to jump on for a few minutes while the potatoes are cooking. Just making some potato salad and sloppy joes. See you ladies!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Aaaahhh, there's nothing on the tv!

SUSAN...meant to ask if you had heard from Angie. Would be a shame if you don't especially since you ladies have been friends for 6 years. Also, thank you for the invite and I would love to. But...(there's always a but in there isn't there, lol?) I think DD is wanting to come with me and I wouldn't want to impose on you and the girls. But, if she doesn't then I would love to! You are a sweetie!

MICHELLE...I too wish I could eat good like Susan does. Well, minus the hot dogs and slurpees, lol! Red Lobster is my hubby's favorite place! I don't mind it if we haven't been in a awhile and then it seems really good. But given my choice, I will take Olive Garden over anything. Hope you aren't coming down with anything. It's good to rest. With the weather we are having, it has made me lazy and sleepy. Hoping tomorrow the sun is shining so I can get out and do that yard work.

Hey...is anyone's posts being or been edited? I just noticed my last post the part to Katy has been edited. Are we being watched every minute now? This is getting ridiculous. All I said was that I was told to stay here in the Kindergarten thread or go somwhere else and start my own little world. Of course I did mentione the site that the person told me to go to. Maybe that was it. Never heard of the site until the someone mentioned it. Guess we just have to watch our p's and q's eh?

Well, once again I am outta here ladies. See ya tomorrow

Good evening ladies,

Hope I can remember everything I want to say.

Michelle, I don't really have all that much energy, it's just that at this time of the year, we have so much to do, it has to be done, so we just push ourselves to do it... I guess we're just used to it after all this time. Hubby started the business 2 yrs before we got married, and I went into it full time when youngest was 3.

Susan and Katy, glad you two had a good time at the park. Did you say you only live about a mile apart.. gee if I were you guys I'd get together for a walk or something every day or so.. heck you're practically neighbors. Speaking of neighbors, remember a few weeks ago when my neighbor had the small grass fire and I told you how so many firetrucks came out etc.. well today, we are at work and we hear sirens.. then they are racing down our road. I can see my house from work and the neighbors, and 3 fire trucks, an ambulance and a police car plus a few volunteer's cars are all gathered between our houses, lights flashing... now I know we aren't home, our neighbors on the other side aren't home and the ones across the street are gone also.. so I'm wondering who the ambulance could be for.. so I hop in my car and drive home, there is a truck in my driveway so I have to go around him... can't see a thing. Go into my house, look thru the windows, still can't see anything. Go back to work, have to squeeze pass the police car and a firetruck to even get out of my driveway. Still can't see anything, no smoke, fire nothing.. well within half an hour they are all gone. So I go back home to get my mail... ahemm.... well I did.. anyway I walk to my neighbors barn.. his door is ripped off and charred on one side. Nothing else is burned, and of course everything is all wet. He has been gone up north since Friday..so it's like how did the door catch on fire.. so his wife comes home a couple hours later. I get home from work and I call her up.. telling her how her house has all this company while she isnt' even at home.. she says what am I talking about. I tell her and she says oh she found a fire dept. note on her front door, but she didn't read it just thought it was an advertisement... I said didn't you see your barn door is charred and ripped off and laying in your driveway... she parked right next to it.. and never even saw it... Now that is something.

Ok, I got off the subject here. But thought that was rather strange.

Christina, first of all, thank you so much, you are so sweet, I got your card today. That was so thoughtful of you...

Not sure who asked but I got my bike for my birthday end of Feb. I started to ride it soon after and have been riding it ever since. It takes me 30 minutes to ride 5 miles.. it's usually 5.3 or so, and 45 minutes to go 7-8 miles.. it depends on the program I am in and the level of difficulty. On the easy ones now I can get in more miles in less time.. but I like to switch off levels...

Susan, sorry about your dad. Hope all turns out well. You come from a big family, I do too. I am the youngest of 10. I have already lost 2 sisters and 2 brothers. One of the girls died as an infant so never knew her. I lost my oldest sister and my mom both in 1997, a month apart. After my sister died in April, my mom had been ailing and decided she didnt' want to live alone anymore, so she moved in with me. We only had a short time together, she ended up in the hospital and never came back. She had cancer, my sister had had a stroke. IT's been 9 years already, and I still get the urge to call my mom and talk to her. . I get along really well with the sister closest to me , and ok with two other ones.. there is only one that I am not close to at all. She has not been sisterly to me at all especially since my mom died. I have no idea why she acts like she does, and my dh says if I am looking for a logical answer to her action, I'll never find one. My brother lives in Calif. and we don't talk much. But are ok with each other.

Boy don't get me started... Michelle I see you are on line right now too. To bad we can't just go in and chat.. I know there is a chat room here, but does anyone ever use it..? I went in once but no one was there..

Katy, boy girl, you sure are easy to please... if a load of cow poop gets you this excited and happy, must be really easy to buy gifts for... I'm not sure I want to know what your dh gives you for special occasions...

Well, I guess I'll start heading upstairs, have to write in my journal and get ready for bed. Only work noon to 5 tomorrow so I am going to church. I actually have my car back. And son even filled it with gas before he returned it.

You all have a good night. I'll check in tomorrow.

Michelle--Hubby and I spend weekends doing alot around the house and now that spring is here the woods are trying to take over the space around the house that we cleared. We do have a fenced in area that we have been trying to grow grass and do have some mixed in with the weeds. The worst is the acorrns and leaves. We actually have to rake every time the wind blows hard. I can't complain too much because it is so peaceful. The window is open beside me and I am drinking coffee and listening to the birds. We have an owl that I have seen a few times--We have a gate at the end of the driveway and it was sitting on the post right where I have to open the gate. I sat there for a minute looking at it-it's huge and then wondered what it would do when I got out but when I did it just flew off. There is a big woodpecker too and some doves along with a whole lot of others. We got one of the Eastern Bird Guides to try and figure what they all are.

Ginny--I went in the chat too a couple of times but there was never anyone there. I can't believe your neighbor parked next to a charred door and didn't notice it.....

Susan- I hope your dad is better. My Dad is closer with three of the five step-siblings than he is with my brother or me. I told my husband if something happenned to me--it would be mom, my brother, hubby and kids and all my husbands relatives!! When pap was doing bad there were over 20 of us in the waiting room and anytime we went down there was always somebody there. With all that good eating and walking you'll be having to buy smaller clothes in no time!!

Katy--What is your latest knitting project?? I am glad you and Susan got a chance to get together--sounds like Michelle lives close too.

Cristina--I didn't realize that this site was being edited.... DH and I watched "That Thing that you Do" last night--It was cute. He watches Speedvision, Discovery and the History channel mostly. The only series he likes right now on tv besides "Build or Bust", "American Thunder", "the OCC show" is Prison Break. He will watch CSI and Cold Case with me. Cold Case is on Sunday nights and I stay up to watch Grey's Anatomy at 10:00 but he goes to bed.

Deborah--Hi wherever you are!!

Ceara--feel free to pop down anytime!!

Good Sunday morning ladies,

Ceara , nice of you to pop in. And yes, where is Deborah? It is a bright sunny day today, we had a good day at work yesterday, busy and profitable. Hoping today will be the same.

I am off to church in a little bit . Haven't gone much this past year so far, son had car so long I was sort of home bound. But that will change now.

Jules, I hear you on the birds. It can be so relaxing to sit and listen to the birds. When I was a kid, my gf and I would lay back on the grass outside and put on music and watch the birds fly around in the sky. It was almost like they were dancing to the music. Very relaxing and therapeutic. We have lots of birds around here too. My dh has even seen an osprey over the pond. When there were fish in the pond, kingfishers would sit on the wires over the pond and wait for their supper.

I didn't get my extra ride in last night. I went to town with dh instead. But I am still down to my lowest so far this morning. I weigh everyday, like to keep tabs on my progress. Like to know if I need to buckle down more or if I am doing ok.

Well better get ready to go in a bit so will check in after church.

Ginny

Good Morning!!

You are a bunch of sad TROOPS! Ceara has to remind us we are at 100?? hehe

Ok, at ease. I know some of you (ok, me) can't count up that high. I don't think we will ever advance to 1st grade....hahahahhah

Anyway, I am not going to do it because I have a lame MAC and it won't let me do fonts/sizes or smilies. So, Cristi??? Jules?? Stop playing with your play doh and change the thread to #2??? lol

Back in a bit!!!!

Ok...here goes my attempt for BTK #2--Hopefully one of the powers that be will close this thread for us!!!

MOVE ON OVER to #2!!!!!!!!!

Closing your thread, Jules!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.
