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

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!

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

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!

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~

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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 hope everyone has a great week!
Dee

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
