good morning!
 

Hi, all -- Happy, happy Saturday :spin:

It's raining here (again/still) but I have great plans for the day. My husband is at a rehearsal -- at our church, we have an annual event called Piano Praise on a Grand Scale. It's a concert that features 11 grand pianos with 11 and sometimes 22 pianists playing simultaneously. It's very great; he's one of the pianists, and he'll be at rehearsal until noon.

Then we're putting together a new fort bed for our 5-yr-old son (who's very excited to get out of the toddler bed!). And then after that I'm going shopping w/ my sister to look for a cute outfit to wear to my staff appreciation day next Thursday. We get to take off work at 9 a.m. and go out and have a fun treat -- don't know what it is yet but I think it includes lunch at a nice restaurant (maybe a steak place -- K.C. is known for steaks after all!).

And on the way home I think I'll stop by Blockbuster and rent "Ocean's Eleven" with that cute George Clooney, Brad Pitt, etc., etc. Should be a good day. And I'll keep eating in check as well. Had oatmeal for breakfast, which always lasts a long time.

Bye for now, will check in again later :wave:

Happy Mother's Day!
 

Hi, Friends!:wave:

Happy Mother's Day one and all! My DH and DSS are taking me out to dinner and movie. I'm thinking Outback for dinner since I can get a nice grilled fish and salad. I wanted to see the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, but it's not out yet, so maybe Spiderman?

I lost 2.5 pounds at WI this week! That makes 15 for month one and I'm very happy that WW is working so well for me this time. :jig: I know all the support from y'all is the key for me! Thanks!:D

Hi Ruth, Pogo, ES, JanieD and Jen!

Sandy, Hope you have a lovely weekend at the beach! What a terrible situation for your mother to live with an unkind DIL! I'll keep you in my prayers for a good resolution (for both you and your mother.)

Hollygirl, You are doing so well! I love your idea of rewarding yourself as you go along. DH & I are going for a long weekend in Chicago next week and I'll think of that as my reward for one month OP (with only a few slips!;) )

Terri, Thanks for your support! I did great at WI, lost 2.5 lbs. You are doing great with your exercise!

Zoe, Happy anniversary! 23 roses for 23 years, sigh.....what a romantic DH you have!

Hope y'all have a good weekend!

Hi Ruth.
I hope your mom comes in. You will have a few generations there. That will be nice. Have a great Mother's Day.

Pogo,
I hope the weather is nice. How long is the bridge? That sounds like such fun. Have a great time. Your garden sounds beautiful.

HollyGirl,
Have a great time.

Mel,
WOW!!! DOING THE HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU!!!!! 15 DOWN IN 1 MONTH!!!!! 2.5 YAY!!!!!!!
Outback sounds really good. I am not as good as you I would have to go for the Outrback special. I am so awed that you can get fish there. Congrats! My hubby and kids are taking me to a champaign brunch at the Marriott here by the Spaceport. It is beautiful there. We saw Spiderman last night. Good movie. Bruce has loved the spiderman cartoon since he was little and he loved it as much as the boys. :lol: I want to see Unfaithful. That poor Dianne Ladd in the movie she has to choose between Richard Geer and that Romeo. :lol:

I hope y'all have a wonderful MOM'S DAY!!!!!!!!
