Happy Sunday ladies- I hope your neck of the woods is sunny and breezy like ours. We are actually getting along without the A/C and it feels nice.

We showed the house 4 times this past week..and it is in the ads again today, so we will see what happens. The new house is coming along wonderfully. The brick is 1/2 done, walls are all sanded and ready to paint. The sub floor is sanded and ready for the flooring. Our maple flooring and tile are both in, so after the painting the floors will be done. Getting exciting!!

I am being a little lazy after a week of keeping on top of things. So far I have read the papers and had my coffee. Spent the rest of the morning working on this puter. I re-did Windows, so now I am downloading all of my messengers and favorite things. Takes forever to download some of them. I just hope it works for another year...I don't want the expense of a new computer.

Sassy- I hope you enjoy the veggie sushi. My DS likes fish sushi, but it is not for me. I might like the veggie type. Good luck on finding a new car.

Jules- I hope you and DH make up quickly. I know how hard it is to get over the ugly things that are said in anger.

Jane- Sounds like your feet are better..have you considered surgery? My walking pal has had that surgery and is much better. I have heel pain, but have been able to lessen it with exercises. (and I rarely wear my sandals now) But gee...I hate tennis shoes ALL of the time.

Kathy- No, the house doesn't show every day, but we have been lucky to show it 4 times this past week. Surely it will sell soon with all the attention it is getting. We get nothing but good feed-back.

Angie- Hope you had a good time and got Tanner home safely. The Stampede sounds like a great, fun week-end.

Marti- Glad you are back. Did you get some rest?

Robin, Michelle, Connie.....Are you around and doing okay? Hope so.

Nothing exciting coming up in the next week...just more of the same house-wise.

Happy Sunday Ya'all!

Jules ya the raw fish was yucky, too "fishy" for me, but I could do the veggie one! I hope the move goes well for your DS's GF and hope you and your DH make up........

Marti - Ugh. I hope they can fix your plumbing problems! What a thing to come home too! lol. You sound like hub and me. We take lots of pics on vacation, only hardly none are of us. I hope you enjoy the last day of vacation.

Sue - Sounds exciting about your new house! I hope all goes well for ya. Its a Sunny 78 here. We are going to work tonight so no enjoying the weather. lol.
Thanks. I don't like the fish sushi either. Too "fishy" for me, but I think the veggie sushi could be good and healthy too!

I hope everybody else enjoys the rest of their Sunday!

Update--we made up...can't seem to stay mad at each other when you have 20 years of history...

Moved DS's gf's big stuff and some little--she will be sorting more this week needs to be completely out by Saturday night. She put some stuff in ds's garage but wants to kep some things nice so her grandmother said she could bring some stuff up to her old bedroom (she has lived on and off with her grandmother since her stepfather is an idiot).

Making homemade chili and cornbread muffins....

have a great evening--it's no teven 4pm and I am pooped!!

Hiya ladies,

Sassy - you're welcome. Let me know if you like it.

Julie - aww, glad you made up. I can't ever stay honked at Neal very long. He is like a sad, lost little boy when I am, and that breaks my heart, lol. Boy, does he know how to play me, lol! Chili and cornbread muffins???? Sounds soooooo good! When do we eat?

Marti - I'm like that, too, with pics. Either it's all stuff we see, or else maybe Neal is in a few, but hardly any of me, because I'm the one taking them. With the weight I gained, I don't want to be in them anyway, lol.

Sue - I've had this before and it went away with towel stretches and supporting my arches. So I'll keep doing this for now and see how it goes. Nothing quite so sexy as orthotics in your sandals!

Hello to anyone else reading this.

Hey, has anybody seen the new ABC show Kyle XY? It's really good! Just wondering.....

I've had a good day. The kids and grandkids were here to visit. I've been rounding up my pictures that I want to do scrapbook pages with, just to get them organized. I doubt I actually do any pages until fall or winter.

Hope you've had a good day, too.

Shel, I eat california rolls all the time...its considered veggie sushi I just love the stuff. Great lunch. Specially when its warm out and you don't want something hot to eat. The green paste is hard to adjust to, but love that stuff too. So where did you buy your DVD?

Jane,,,Im sorry but what is wrong with your feet? Its not heel spurs is it? Seriously Jane,,,enjoy the pampering from Neal. He probably doesn't get to do that with you often...
Red Deer is a city right smack dab in the middle of Alberta. Population 80,000
Its about 1.5 hrs north of Calgary.

Jules,,,glad to know you two made up...I hate when Monte and I have words...Im miserable,,,and well so is he.
Go on over to a paint store and buy lil tins of metalic paint and make swirls on the floor over the black...OR tape and then sponge over top giving a tile look...know what I mean? Then it would look like you have black grout.

Kathy, stampede is till next weekend (sunday) which I think is the 16th So come on down and let me know if you are coming...
That big storm last week,,,was nothing down south,,,we had a bit of wind and spitting rain but nothing to what the north part of the city had,,,WOWEE! My SIL emailed me pics and I was amazed. BUT let me tell you about today,,,made up for missing last weeks storm..We literally sat in Costcos lil porch area for an hour...we could see the trees bent over with high winds and hail.

Sue,,,nice to have a relaxing day...we had one today...except for our adventure at costco,,,we had a lazy day.

gonna go back and snooze some more on the couch...perhaps fold the clothes piled high on the chair.

I forgot to mention earlier that I finally got back to walking. Last night with DH and tonight with my gal pal. Hopefully I will get back on the eating program tomorrow and continue the walking.
Finally also, after trying many light or fat free ice creams, found one I like. It is Edy's slow churned 1/2 the fat and 1/3 less calories. We tried the Drumstick and the Rocky Road flavors. Both were as good as (almost) regular
ice cream. 140 calories for 1/2 cup...but when you want ice cream badly it will do. I have wanted it the past week and now I will ration it.

Talk to you tomorrow. Happy weigh in everyone. (I haven't done that for a few weeks)

Good evening everyone,

Wrote a nice long post but it has disappeared. I will have to get the kids to teach me how to cut and paste and save stuff. Wow what a great bonding evening that will be.

Anyway, I just have to let everyone know that we went to the auction yesterday as DD thought we should buy one of the Shetland Ponies for Cole. Did not buy one (although they did not sell for much money) but we ended up with a goat. I don't know why, we just kind of took to it. She is going to have a baby anyday. I must say that I think that this goat will make a better pet than our dogs. The goat has taken to Cole. He walks her, and when the dog came near him, she put herself in between Cole and the dog, and wouldn't let the dog come near him. It was so cute. Anyway.....our new favorite pet is now the goat. (Man I must need a life or something.)

Marti I hope your plumbing problems are fixed.

Chat with you all later.
Kathy

"Shel, I eat california rolls all the time...its considered veggie sushi I just love the stuff. Great lunch. Specially when its warm out and you don't want something hot to eat. The green paste is hard to adjust to, but love that stuff too. So where did you buy your DVD?"

Angelia - Yeah that is what they are called! lol. Hub told me he thinks I would love those. I tried what are they called......they had tuna, cream cheese and avacodo. Didn't like the tuna. I bought my DVD at Costco, for $8.99, it has two things on it. one is for 1 mile and the other is for 2 miles!

Sue - Good job on the walking! I plan on trying out my WATP DVD's on my nights off (M - W). I heard that Skinny Cow is good, have you tried those?

Kathy - Can't wait to see pics of your baby goat (when she has it)........

Adding this - Do any of you post pics on your fridge or what not of pics of people who you want to look like??? I thought about trying this but do you think its silly??????

Lunch time---lean cuisine & water......

Shel--I have a skinny picture of me on my fridge!!! It's apparently not helping since I gained 4 lbs---I know it's because I haven't been drinking my water or eating right or been to the gym for almost 3 weeks--I have been taking my vitamins though!! Maybe I should put one up at my highest weight...

Kathy--my DH's family had goats while he was growing up and there is a farm that raises and sells them on the way to work--there is also a place that raises alpacas--DH would like goats and a couple of chickens for the fresh eggs.

Sue--we have been getting sugar free icecream or doing without since DH's gout is acting up--sometimes I crave sugar really bad so it's probably good it's not in the house!!

Angelia--I will pass on the paint tips--they may do it. I hate when DH & I fight

Jane--there are plenty of leftovers--I can't make just a little bit of chili!!

Hi to everyone else--go to get going!!

Jules - I used to have one of me when I was thin-ner but I took it off when we "thought" we were going to move. My Aunt who lost a lot weight has a picture of her at her highest weight on the fridge. Maybe I could do one of each?????? lol.

Hi Everybody else! I hope your day is doing well!

Whoa! See you at #202.
