I started reading all of your posts and decided I would print them out since there is so much going on with you all and I am not very good on memory these days.
Candice - Sorry it took me so long to get the pictures up......I made a special thread JUST FOR YOU.
It has a link to my PATHETIC GARDEN and then there is a url to the others with what my garden usually looks like. I must say though, you put anything and everything I do to shame.....BIG TIME. I only WISH I could accomplish such beauty. I love flowers and plants, especially when I grow an entire new plant from a tiny little piece from another. That's pretty much how I do most of it. I also share and trade "pieces" with my neighbors and this way we all get to try a different flower or plant.
Really beautfiul view from your kitchen window. ......there is nothing like a tomato that was picked two days ago, left on your window sill to ripen to a deep beefy red and then just sprinkle it with a little bit of salt and BITE INTO IT. So you put your swimsuit on to work outside, huh? LOL....I do that all the time here because it gets so hot in the summer months that if I don't jump into the pool every 1/2 hour or so to cool off and to chug down ALOT of water...I'd be one very dehydrated and sick Floridian. Although I think I scare most of my neighbors off when they see me in MY suit.....I POSITIVE that doesn't happen to you. You look wonderful and don't you believe that crapola about looking older when you lose weight. I mean REALLY Candice....don't you FEEL better AND look better....I think you look absolutely beautiful and most of all....very healthy and happy. I, on the other hand....really have to be careful in the heat down here. Especially people like me that once I get started on something, I don't stop until I'm done.
SueBee - I"m with you on the bologna about looking older when you lose weight. If that were the case, why does everyone look and feel so good when they DO lose weight? Hmmmm??? Bet you're really enjoying that central air. Will Scott go to summer camp or any kind of summer day program? I STILL have to make lunches since Billy goes to summer camp. Every day from 9-3pm. Although, since it's offered through the town rec. dept....it's totally free!!!! (well, not really.,....our taxes pay for it) and I get him there pretty much whenever he wants...usually around 10. If it's too hot, I pick him up early. Where is your cottage? It's always nice to get away, isn't it? But then, it's always nice to come home too.....makes us appreciate it a littlle more.
Hey Brenda - Hey, nothing worth having ever comes easy. You keep making those meals. You'll be glad you did when you really start seeing your body changing again. Glad your niece is ok. She just HAD to get back up and start all over again, otherwise she'd have that fear and she'd never get over it...atleast not for a long time (personal experience.....LOL). As for the FAT intake......I don't really watch the FAT as much as I watch the CHOLESTEROL. It seems to be the right thing for me since I'm now into a size 16 perfectly. So let's see now....In about nine months....I've gone from a size 22 back down to a 16.
Really makes me happy to see it on "paper"/monitor....
I'm losing more inches than weight but that's ok, I suppose that's my body makeup and I'll take the loss any way I can get it.
Hey - My B'day is Sept. 18th so you'll be here just after. My hangover SHOULD be gone by the time you get to Florida.
And of course I'll meet you. Since we'll be on YOUR time....you just let me know what's good for you and I'll be there. This is going to be awesome to finally meet. And yes....I'll bring the digital camera and post them the next day if not that night. Heh-heh
Alley-Ooop - Ok....come on girlfriend...what's your real name? heh-heh. When I read your post about the tattoo band-aids, I almost pee'd my pants. That was great! I'd like to get those too.....my son would love them! Glad you liked the pics of the stables. I think the "equine" friends are nice also but their owners aren't so bad either.
We all get along so well and now that the ONE person who didn't clean up after herself and had five horses there has left....we've got new boarders that fit in much better since they're as concerned with the cleanliness of the barn as the rest of us. We're doing thorough background and reference checks now. Adrienne is really getting a crash course in barn management but I tell ya...she's holding her own. After all, it's her place and she doesn't want to lose it and that means keeping it up and keeping good boarders in there.
Tara - TARA????? Is it....could it be.....it's YOU????!!!! TARA, TARA, TARA.........
So nice of you to join us once again. LOL....seriously, you're missed very much when you don't show your "face" around here so don't pull that disappearing act again, you hear? You get us all worried.
and your brother is very handsome but let's not forget what a beautiful bride SHE is. Hope you and she get along well and you gain a sister.
Penny - Yes, stopped the cribbing. Wanna know how? LOL...put a chain muzzle on him for one day..LOL....as soon as he started to do it again.,...we just had to SHOW it to him. Now don't all of you owls go nuts on me now....it does not hurt the horse at all...just keeps him from chewing through something like a thick fabric and I'm sure it's not the most comfortable thing in the world either. Anyway, he's left the barn now so that's that. NEXT!!!!
Here's the link to my picture album page. It's the first album you'll see:
http://www.picturetrail.com/pembers Enjoy.
Emmy - You knoooooow, flattery will get you just about everywhere. LOL Bill did have a great day as did the rest of us. Haven't added any new STABLE pictures...just the one album of my pathetic garden that I totally shocked when we moved and transplanted the largest and most beautiful plants/bushes we had. AAAGGGHHHH.
Judy - So nice to see you here. How wonderful to get some relief from your headaches. I'm going to try and call Setina tonight and see if I can reach her. I'll tell her to email you on the medication. Okay with you? And no....I didn't know anything about the fire in Astoria. I asked Bill and he told me. I'm going to look up more on MSNBC here on the puter. How awful! I don't think Fathers Day will be quite the same for those families for a very long time. What an awful, awful thing to happen!
Geeez, I'm probably going to get kicked off for writing such a long post. I told you guys I printed out the printable version of the thread and that way I'm able to read everything you all said. <grin> Besides, for those of you who have spoken with me on the phone... you KNOW you can't expect to get off within a 20 minute period. Heh-heh....
I'm getting my exercise in, getting tan from being outside so much and also getting very sore. I am doing my best not to over-do it as far as ANY physical work goes but some days are just worse than others when it's raining so much like it has been here lately. It's really a blessing in disguise though, Florida really needed it.
Ok, ok, ok......I'm leaving. I'm out of breath now anyway.
Sweet Dreams my friends,
Hugs to you all,
~Pamela~
