We were up to two pages again, so here we go again. Isn't that great! :)

Christa, you'll have to tell all about the wedding you went to tonight. Did you dance all evening?
It sounds like a fun wedding.

My husband and I just watched that movie, Miss Congeniality--with Sandra Bullock. We'd seen it at the movies and had to rent it. It was soooo funny.

Take care and enjoy the rest of the holiday.

Dee, sorry you have to work. But as you said, you'll make that holiday money.

Tina

KimmyJo 05-28-2001 12:19 AM

Hi all!

Tina - I just rented Miss Congeniality on Friday night. It was a great movie. Don't get to the movies too much now with having the baby, so we wait for it to come out on video. Now that all reruns will be on TV we will rent all the good movies we missed.

Thankfully the baby is feeling much better. Fever finally broke and he went to the sitters on Fri. He's still not eating much, but he is definitely feeling better. THanks for thinking of us.

We are having a picnic tomorrow for the holiday. Hopefully the rain will let up so we can barbecue. I'm happy for the rain becuase we need it, but I'm ready for some sunshine. I haven't been running because of the rain, so I need to get out and get some exercise.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend. Have a great week!

Tina 05-28-2001 11:31 AM

Happy Memorial Day!
Kimmy-jo, I'm glad the baby is feeling better. How old is he now? Don't worry about the eating, I'm sure he'll be back to normal in no time. ;)

The rain missed us today. We will stay around the house. Our son will come over at noon-ish and we'll grill some hot dogs. We haven't done that in ages. I'd love to fix some potato salad but I don't need the points.

For three days now, I've had high point breakfasts. That really cuts into the rest of the day's pts. Since I'm going to weigh in tomorrow night, for a change. I want to eat sparingly. I wish I had the ingredients for veggie soup.

Take care all,
Tina

Tammy 05-28-2001 09:01 PM

We grilled hamburgers on the grill today. Absolutely delicious. We have a gas grill and a charcoal grill. Bob and I both think that burgers are best over charcoal so that's what we did. Tim wasn't too sure at first, but he enjoyed every bite. Had some low-fat (NOT!!) potato chips and dip, potato salad, and cheese. Bob bought an apple pie at the grocery, so that ended up being our supper tonight. We were too full after that lunch to have the pie for dessert.

No rain today!!!!

Our high school girls' softball team played in the regional finals this afternoon and won! They will play in the state semi-final next weekend. The girls were hanging out the bus windows yelling and waving when they came back into town earlier. It was neat! Bunches of my former students.

I've been reading alot this weekend, and have less than 100 pages to go in the book. (The Midnight Hour) I need to finish it tonight, or I just can't go to school tomorrow. Do you think the principal would go for that excuse?

We tried to rent Miss Congeniality when we went to Michigan, but it had already been started or wasn't working right at the motel. We ended up watching Castaway. I like Tom Hanks, so that was fine.

Have a great week everyone!

ChicagoGal 05-30-2001 02:13 PM

Hi, everyone! Hope you all had great holiday weekends!

I not only had Monday off, but took Tuesday as well, so it was a lovely four day weekend. Weather was crummy Saturday and Sunday, but decent on Monday and pretty nice yesterday. Cooked out for my sister and her family on Monday. Not a terribly WW-friendly menu (bruschetta, steak, leaf lettuce salad with bacon dressing, potato salad, berries and ice cream), but I managed pretty well on the portion control. I also made my sister take all the leftover sirloin home so that I didn't have that around tempting me. (I, of course, did have to finish the potato salad, though -- that was breakfast and lunch yesterday!)

Tammy, I totally agree on charcoal being better than gas for grilling burgers (and, frankly, everything else!). I have a charcoal grill with a gas starter, so at least I don't have to worry about lighter fluid and newspapers, and I just love the way stuff tastes on there. I even grilled the bruschetta.

I loved "Miss Congeniality"! Yes, it was a silly, fluffy movie, but that's what I like to see at the movies, and it was so darned cute :) I rented it just a few weeks ago for the second time. I saw "Bedazzled" this weekend, and that was ok. Also rented another movie (I forget the name) and must have missed the part on the jacket about it being in French with English subtitles. Ugh.

Talk to ya later!

Laura~

Tammy 05-30-2001 09:52 PM

I have been known to eat potato salad for breakfast too Laura! That's one of my favorite foods, especially the way my Aunt Jean makes it. or used to make it. Now that she's older, I don't know if she makes it any more.

Had to say good-bye to my class today. I hugged all of them at the end of the day, lots of tears.

Visitation at the funeral home went well tonight. Lots of catching up with cousins that I don't see often. Very silly since they are only a couple hours away. Some are even closer than that! My cousin Sandra is planning a family get together for July 4. My mom's family always got together on the 4th. When my Uncle Floyd died, it put a damper on things, because we always went to his house. Sandra decided it was time to start the tradition again, and let all of the cousin's kids get to know each other!

I have cramps for the 2nd time this month. I do not like this. My period should not be starting till the end of next week. I guess nerves/stress could be messing me up this time.

Tina 05-31-2001 08:42 AM

Morning,
I love potato salad, too. I've never tried it for breakfast, though. :)
Tammy, I' think your early cramps are stress caused. Stress does all sorts of odd things to our bodies.

Congratulations to all the teachers!!!!!! Summertime is upon you. Lots of time for sun bathing--time to show off those bodes without all those pounds. ;)

Today is not a good de-stressed day for me (that didn't sound right). One year ago today, my mother had her stroke. I pray that she doesn't remember what day it happened. I've been a "basket case" for several days. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I need it!

Tina

auntie 06-01-2001 06:13 PM

Hi All,



I've been out of pocket since Saturday (went to San Antonio to visit family). My sister and I went to WW on Wed. since we are going to work together. I gained 10 pounds since I was there 2 weeks ago. That doesn't sound right to me but, I'll weigh in here this next week.



I bought a scale today. I'm going to really watch everything that goes in my mouth.



Tammy, I'm sorry about the loss of your aunt. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Your son sounds like quite a young man!!



Kimmy Jo, sorry to hear that the baby has been sick and is feeling better.



Never saw the movie "Miss Congeniality". However, I sure would like to have Sandra Bullock's body. Wishful thinking!! :)





Susan

Tina 06-01-2001 08:03 PM

Hi All,
Susan, we missed you. I cannot believe that you gained ten pounds in just two weeks. Something is wrong with that scale. :)

Kimmy-jo I hope your son is fine now.

Okay school teachers-----It's party time!!!!! Congratulations on being out for the summer.

Jill----where are you???? I guess she's just too busy getting ready for the wedding to write us. We are still waiting for our invitations. :)

Dee--how are you doing? Write us, okay....

This weekend will be nice and relaxing for me. Nothin's going on. Just relaxing time. It's hot but that's okay.

Tina

auntie 06-02-2001 10:16 PM

I just came in from mowing the yard and repotting some plants. I hope I got some dirt in the pots since I seemed to be wearing more of it. However, it was fun! It was hot here too!! It's too early to be hot!!!

Tina, I hope the scale wasn't working. I did weigh in while in San Antonio and not here at home. We'll see when I go this week.

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday.

Susan

auntie 06-04-2001 07:47 PM

:cool: Cool, Check out all of the smilie faces we can add now!

Let me tell you about my day. There is nothing like a good hot Texas day without any air conditioning. Mine went out last night. Got up early this morning to call the A/C repair and the soonest they can come out is Wed. However, looking at it from a brighter side, we have 2 units (the one that is out is on the main part of the house), and second it is not the dead of summer yet! It got up to 88 in the house with fans going. :dizzy:

I had my yearly check up and the dr. said well, you weight has been pretty stable. I mentioned that I had rejoined WW and she said it was the best thing I could do and that I need to stick with it.

Hope everyone is have a cooler day than I.

Susan

Tammy 06-04-2001 08:18 PM

I hope that I don't mess up on this! Everytime I go to someplace new, I get nervous.

Susan, 10 pounds in 2 weeks sounds like alot. I'm sure there was a mistake. I've been watching the scales for the past week. With the big meal after the funeral, and all of the graduation parties that we went to, I expected a 50 pound gain. I am up a little, but it's always the same 2-3 pounds.

When is Jill's wedding? I've been practicing my singing because I KNOW that she will want me to sing!!! LOL

Toodles!

Tina 06-04-2001 10:30 PM

Hi,
Wow, I'm not sure about this. I'll have to take some time to get used to everything.
Tammy, Jill's wedding is in December. I've already picked out my dress. :)

Susan, poor girl. I hope you don't melt before Wed.

I haven't been "online" because I'm swamped with work. My boss went out of town for the week. He left me with a big project.
Does anyone do graphs on Power Point?????
I'm trying to learn.

I'll check in tomorrow.
Tina

DeeX 06-05-2001 12:53 AM

I love this idea of using different colors but I havent figured out how to turn the online offline thingy off... but thats ok. :spin:

I lost 1/2 a pound last week, and that was just barely. I did try to go biking one day, but had a flat, and I hate airing up tires.

Susan, hope you get your AC fixed soon! I for one don't like the heat, I usually have several fans running and my AC just to make sure it's cool.

Well guess I've played enough with the colors :devil: hope everyone has a great week!
Dee

Tina 06-05-2001 09:56 AM

Good Morning!
How is everyone doing so far?
I got to sleep in. I take my mother to a doctor for a check-up this a.m. It's not a pleasant task.

Dee, I haven't figured out about the offline thing yet, either. I tried last night for a long time but never saw how.

I think I'll weigh in tonight since my husband goes. Wish me luck.

Tina:lol:

auntie 06-05-2001 10:24 PM

Hi All,

Well, survived another day without A/C. It actually wasn't that bad. Felt like my mom and dad's house, toasty warm. My husband brought in some huge fans Sun. night from the barn which has helped tremendously. They come repair it tomorrow. :smug: Thanks Thanks for all of your concern and encouragement!

Tina, hope the trip to the doctor was smooth and you only heard good news! Hope your weigh in was GREAT!

Dee, I love the color too along with the smilie faces. However the offline is still a mystery to me, since it says off line and I'm on.

Tammy, I'm so sorry about your aunt. I would not worry being up a couple of pounds since it has been so stressful. Are you enjoying your time off? I have to veg for a couple of days because I'm so tired at the beginning of summer. I know it sounds silly but only fellow teacher's understand.

Talk to ya'll tomorrow.
Susan
:lol:

Loodie 06-06-2001 09:50 AM

Thought I'd pop in real quick and wish everyone good luck on weighin this week. ;) I think I'll do okay.

Tammy, How are you doing after the funeral? I know that after everyone leaves and life is back to "normal" is sometimes the harder time.

Tina, How did your mom come out with her appt.? At least it gave you a reason to sleep in.

Susan, you are making me think twice about wanting to move farther south. We are in Northern WI and looking forward to relocating in the next year or two. We really want to go farther south to get away from the extreme cold we have in the winter. I don't know that I want to go that far south to have those temps in June. (Ours are around 60 degrees now). Laura, your temps are pretty similar to ours I bet.

Dee, did you ever figure out how to change the online thing?

Well, back to work. :wave:

:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

auntie 06-06-2001 12:17 PM

Ladies,

I figured it out...how to change the Off-line status!!!! Go to your profile, then edit options. The very first item is Change invisible status.... To show you are on line, Mark the NO!!. Your postings will indicate that you are on line. See what happens when you have a little time on your hands!! ;)

I went for my pre-op appointment. Only to find out that I may some day need knee replacement. :( The doctor says that he feels pretty certain about it. Wow!! He also said I need to ride the bike a min. of 45 minutes a day. I'm starting today, that should help with my weight. Oh well, each day brings on new discoveries and challenges. I'm ready for next Friday. I'm fortunate, because there are people a lot worse of than me.

Loodie, I love Texas. You get use to the warm summers. Try it, you might like!! :D

Here's to a good weigh in !!!!

Tammy 06-06-2001 08:40 PM

I am FINALLY finished in my classroom! School has been out since last Thursday, but I've been going through things in my room. Threw away quite a bit of junk. Have no idea why I was hanging on to it. A true packrat!

Today I cut cardboard and am planning (yea, right) to make math flashcards in my spare time this summer. I always plan to do things, but for some reason, it doesn't get accomplished. Today I found a grocery bag in the extra bedroom loaded with books that I wanted to take in to the school last fall!!!!! Where is my brain? I should just take it into the room tomorrow morning and stick it in a locker, because I know that I'll forget it by August.

Things have been OK since the funeral. I have thought about Aunt Doris every day, and I worry about Uncle Bill's health. I plan to go out for a visit soon, but I don't want to push. He has always enjoyed his solitude. I guess that comes from him being an only child.

We had an estimate for a new furnace and central air. The furnace we have was put in when the house was built (1954). The air conditioner was put in about 1971. We think we could get something that would be more cost efficient, what do you think? The estimate was less than I expected, so I think we are going to go for it. I'm sure it will pay for itself soon enough with the cost of gas and electric the way it is!

Have I rambled enough for today??

auntie 06-07-2001 06:20 PM

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well today!

Hey guess what!!! I have A/C. I was so glad to see the repair guy yesterday. He came about 3:00pm. :D


I went yesterday for my pre-op appointment. After looking at my x-rays the dr. said that I will most likely have to have knee replacement surgery before I'm 75. He said all of the conditions are there. So when he is in my knee next Friday, he is going to see what he can do to help correct some of the problem..... However, I go a reality check!! He said, "keep your weight down, and exercise on the stationary bike everyday for 45 minutes to an hour (work up to it)." Now, for some reason that hit home. :0

Today, I rode my bike 20 minutes and went to my meeting and stayed!! ;)

Has any tried E-Tools? I'm curious to know what everyone thinks.

Susan :cool:

Tammy 06-07-2001 09:29 PM

What is e-tools??????

I take it that the stationary bike is OK for people with knee problems. I didn't know that! My left knee hurts every now and then when I'm walking. Maybe I'll have to jump on the bike.
What about a real bike? Is that OK to use?

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you just wanted to hit your husband??????????

I did chicken thighs on the GF grill the other night. It was still pink in the middle and hubby growled about it. I stuck them in the microwave and they were fine then.

The next night I made sausage and macaroni and cheese. He made some comments about the mac.&ch. not being very good.

No complaints about last night's beef and noodles although I even thought they had too much broth!

Today I went to get my hair cut and colored. I usually get a perm, but had decided not to this time. Time for a change, you know? When I walked into the kitchen when I got home, he said, "I sure hope it looks better than what I'm seeing right now!" He wasn't kidding! Then he couldn't understand why I was upset.

MEN!

auntie 06-08-2001 09:55 AM

Tammy,

I have to say, I have days and weeks like that too. My husband is brutly honest. It is one of the things that I love about him and hate about him. I only like it when it is something that I want to hear. Other times, my feelings are hurt.

I don't get my hair permed anymore either. The guy I go to, thinks that if you get the right cut then you don't need one. My husband likes my hair about half the time. If it was on his head then can do with it what he wants.

Hang in there!! He might be having male PMS :dizzy: I have a male friend who swears by it.

The bike is good for the knees. I think the stationary bike is a little easier than the real bike. That's my guess :?: since on a real one you have to balance and such. It the motion and non impact that's good. The dr. told me that walking (for exercising) wasn't good for my knee problems. Try it, it might help your knees out.

Well, I'm of to the hospital for an EKG and bloodwork. Never had an EKG before.

Susan :wave:

Tina 06-08-2001 11:43 PM

Good evening,
Susan, how was your EKG??? I've had several and they make me so nervous - and, that's what you don't want to be. :)
I love my stationary bike. I need to start using it again.

It is rainnng soooo hard here tonight. We don't live near a bayou and I'm glad about that. However, our back yard becomes a pool. Yuk

I did good with my points today. I still have 2 left so I'm gonna go get a Skinny Cow.

Tina

Tina 06-09-2001 01:22 PM

Blub, blub, blub--
If any has been watching CNN or the Weather Channel, they know that Houston is under water--and I mean under water. We were lucky that it didn't get into our home. The water got up to the sidewalk. However, our backyard was one big pool and water went under the house and into our garage. We have a big job ahead of us, cleaning up the garage.

It's my birthday and the bakery is closed!
No cake :( My husband is getting one from the local grocery store. :(

Have a nice day.
Tina

auntie 06-09-2001 01:46 PM

Tina,

I'm sorry that you are down there with all of the rain, rain and more rain. You're very lucky that it didn't get in the house. However, what a mess!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear Tina,
Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!!
And Many More!!!!!!!!!!


I think you should celebrate as soon as the bakery re-opens. Have a birth month! I celebrate the entire week. Mine is the 25th.

The EKG was fine, however the hospital is a mess with construction. It took forever waiting for the lab work. Next Friday is the day.

Hang in there. I'm thinking about you. We've had no rain, just looks like it everyday.

Susan

Tina 06-09-2001 05:52 PM

Me again!

Susan, thank you so much for my song.:) That was great.
Guess what----the bakery opened and Larry got the cake. Yeah!!! The icing isn't what he asked for but who cares. ha..ha.. It took the owner and his wife 3 hrs to get to the shop. They live out near IAH (airport). The person who icings the cakes wasn't there, so they did the best they could.

Would you believe, they were doing a wedding today. WoW.....I bet the bride was extra nervous.

How long will you be in the hospital? I sure hope it goes well.

We are going to try making it to Outback Steakhouse tonight. Larry called there and they're open (unless it starts raining again).

Tina

Tammy 06-09-2001 06:14 PM

I think I'm hungry! Bob isn't home, not sure when he will be. Supper may be bologna sandwiches!

Seafood still sounds good, but you mentioned Outback. I haven't been there in ages. We also like to go to Texas Roadhouse and Longhorn Steakhouse.

Thinking about calling my brothers to see if they want to come over and grill out tomorrow if it doesn't rain. We've had 3 (yes, three!!!) days in a row with no rain.

Tim and I went for a ride in the dune buggy earlier. I was having trouble shifting gears and it was jumping all over the place. How embarrassing! I should drive it where there is no one around that I know! Like in some other state.

:dizzy:

auntie 06-09-2001 10:48 PM

Hi,

Tina, I'm so glad that you got a cake and are going out to dinner. Make the day special!! :D Hope ya'll made it safely. Please be careful getting out!

Tammy & Tina, Ya'll are making me hungry for something good. We had pimento cheese sandwiches tonight. I have been eating tomatoes all day long from my garden. Wish ya'll were here to share with you.

I'm only going to be in the hospital for the day. It is day surgery (arthoscopic) I won't be able to drive for at least a week since it is my right knee. I'll be on crutches for a while. Hopefully he won't have to do too much to it. I'll keep you posted.

I rode my bike again today, 3 days in a row. I'm up to 22 minutes and my behind goes numb. I'm working my way up.

I signed up for E-tools on the WW page. It's pretty cool. It figures all of your points etc.... charts your weight loss. I figured trying it would be the only way to see if I liked it.

Susan
:spin:

Tina 06-10-2001 05:49 PM

Afternoon,
Tammy, did you grill out? Seafood does sound good.
We made it to Outback Steakhouse. Oohhh, it was so good. I totally "threw caution to the wind" yesterday (& my pts, too) and enjoyed my birthday. We started off with a grilled shrimp appetizer. There were 6 shrimp. My son didn't want any, so that gave us 2 each. Then came a green salad with everything in it. Then I had a 6 oz. steak with steamed veggies. I was almost too full for cake---did you get that--almost. :)

This afternoon, we drove on an overpass of one of the main freeways. It's really something seeing all that water covering the cars and vans....scarey.
Okay, I'm writing a book here.
Everyone enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Tina

ChicagoGal 06-11-2001 10:58 AM

Hi folks!

Sorry I haven't been around much the last week. I was in classes all day Tuesday through Friday downtown, and then left for golf school for the weekend. Thank GOODNESS we finally had nice weather -- it was perfect, even if my nose is a bit red this morning :cool:.

I didn't weigh in last week because of class. This week should be interesting. I definitely did not eat "well" at golf school (they really didn't have interesting low-fat foods), but with the lessons and golfing, hopefully I burned up many of those calories (not to mention the rather considerable amount of wine we managed to drink at night!:o )

Tina, Happy Belated Birthday!!! Hope it turned out to be wonderful. And I'm glad your water damage isn't worse than it is, although it still doesn't sound like fun. Yuck!

Susan, let us know what you think of the e-tools. I have Weight Commander at home, which I like for the tracking part, but always am on the lookout for new toys!

Tammy, sounds like you had fun with the dune buggy. I've never done that, but did have fun with golf carts over the weekend!

Talk to you all later.

Laura~

Tammy 06-11-2001 09:35 PM

We ended up not grilling out (everyone is always busy!). BUT we have done quite a bit of dune buggy riding. Bob even taught Tim how to drive it in the driveway yesterday! Tim was so excited! He did great considering it is a stick shift!

My nephew plans to be on the H.S. golf team this fall. He has never played golf except for putt-putt. Could be interesting.

Tim plans to run cross country again. He has been running. A friend is here from Tennessee for 6 weeks. Dane is staying at his grandmother's house. He arrived Saturday. So far, they have been swimming, biking, and running. Dane runs cross country and track in Tenn. He's going to work with Tim while he's here. He's 2 years older .

I'm getting back on the track with exercising finally. I have done at least something each day since last Thursday. Even if it's only for 15 minutes each day, that is better than my 0 minutes that I had been doing.

Food was good today. Still not disciplined enough to write everything down like I know I should.

Tina, all the flooding is awfully scary. Glad things are looking better (at least that's what I heard on the radio)

Toodles all!

auntie 06-11-2001 10:07 PM

Hi Everyone,

Hope you have had a good day.

Tammy, 15 minutes a day is good. You have to start off slowly or you'll burn out. The dune buggy sounds like fun. I've never been on one but love our riding lawn mower. I know it's not the same.

Laura, E-Tools is great! It tracks all of your food, points & exercise. You also chart your weight. the cool thing is that it figures out your points if you don't know them. It does alot of the leg work. I really like it alot! :)

Tina, how is the clean up going?

Food was hard for me today. All I wanted to do was eat.

Susan

Tina 06-12-2001 10:28 AM

Morning,
Would you believe that I slept in until 9 a.m.:lol: I got up once and fed the cat. I'm exhausted from work.
I finally finished a big project. It was so quiet and hum-drum before he was hired. I'm really glad he's here, though.

Tammy, sounds like you will have a busy summer. I can't wait to go back to our friends who have 2 4-wheelers.

Susan, are you nervous about Friday's procedure? I hope it's quick and smooth.

Kimmy-jo, are you on vacation?
Dee, what summer plans do you have?
Linda---Laura---are y'all swamped at work?

How ie everyone else???????

We started cleaning out our garage yesterday. It's starting to smell yucky. This is not a pretty job. :)

Tina

ChicagoGal 06-12-2001 11:36 AM

Tammy, MAJOR kudos on the exercise. That's my biggest bugaboo -- I just find every excuse not to do anything. At least in the summer I'm forced to mow the lawn once a week (there's 30 minutes!) and I'm trying to golf 1-2 times a week, but it's not at all regular. What kind of exercise do you do?

How about everyone else? What gets you moving? I need ideas :)

Laura~

Tammy 06-12-2001 12:05 PM

Sleeping in this morning was in my plans, but Kramer had me up at 5:15. It was thundering in some foreign country and he heard it. Silly dog was crying. Good ol' Tam gets up, lets him out of his cage, and he curled up with me in the recliner. Silly dog. Silly Tam!

My exercise for the most part has been walking. I have also being doing some arm exercises with weights, 3 pound ones to start. Hoping to get back to the 5 pound weights.

Mowing is a big thing here too. I try to do the push mower every time. Sometimes it's just too hot and I'm too lazy so I jump on one of the riding mowers.

Tina, I don't envy your clean up. What a mess. I know what it was like helping others here in town after the tornado about 10 years ago.

I went to the WW site. Is the only way you can use e-tools if you are currently a member of WW?
I guess I need to check out some other sites, or just kick myself in the butt and start writing things down.

Need to leave for now. Tim will be home from basketball camp any time. I'm sure that he'll be starved! I try to keep him happy, then he doesn't grumble so much when I tell him that he has chores to do. LOL

auntie 06-12-2001 02:02 PM

Nothing new here!

Tammy, you have to subscribe to E-Tools. It is $12.95 a month. It's a bummer since we already pay for weekly meetings but I really like it.

Laura, I ride the stationary bike. Especially since I was told to do it everyday by the doctor.

Tina, I'm not nervous about Friday (I've had this done twice before) I'm just ready for it to be over and have my knee stop hurting. Do you need anything for your clean? If so let me know.

Off to watch soaps and to ride the bike.

Susan

Tina 06-12-2001 03:27 PM

Me again!

I've been thinking about getting e-tools but don't want to spend that extra money. :D

About my clean-up----I'm not sure what I need. Any ideas?????
Larry (husband) and I are both taking this Friday off so we can get it done quickly. It really smells musty in there now.
Any suggestions of what to use to clean the garage floor? I guess we could use liquid Spic N Span. I use that to clean my floors inside.

Tina,

Make sure that you use some bleach on the floors so it cuts the mold. If not it will grow back and you will have to clean it again. Do you have any big fans to help dry it out?

Hi all, I haven't been very active at writing lately. I usually do this at work and my workload seems to have doubled lately with some very firm deadlines coming soon.

Tina, sorry to hear about your water situation. I was watching that on the news.

Susan, good luck on your surgery on Friday--you sound pretty comfortable with it.

AHHH Exercise!!! It is my second job :rolleyes: . I live 3 miles from a beautiful state park that has a paved loop measuring 2.5 miles. I used to be able to walk around it in 45 min. without resting and that is my goal. (Course I'm about 25 pounds heavier than I was then). My dog is very good at encouraging Me to want to go for a walk at night. Anyway, I take him out there and we walk for 30-45 min. each night in the forest, along the river. Each night I walk a little farther in the same time.
A real plus is that sometimes my hubby comes along and we actually get time to talk without interruption.

A small request--my cousin's 8 yr old daughter (Allida) is having brain surgery today to remove some tissue that is believed to be causing her epileptic seizures. It is uncertain what other memories or activities that section really controls so the family is really nervous about this surgery. A small prayer for her would be greatly appreciated if you would.

Weighins start tomorrow. Good luck all.

Hi

Linda, I'm thinking about Alida today. I hope everything goes well. Please keep us updated.
You said that you walk with your dog in the forest and along a river. Aren't you afraid to do this? You must have a very safe area.

Susan, no, we don't have any fans. Thank you for telling me about the bleach. I will get some large jugs of it before Friday. I asked my co-hort at work if he'd work for me Fri. He owes me 8 hrs. and he said, "of course."
He is cleaning out his garage also.

Is everyone up for tomorrow??? The answer should be yes.

Tina
