Hi All,

I'm exhausted today!! I went to watch my husband and his band play last night. Didn't get in until 4:00am. I remember the days when I could have 2-3 hours sleep and it didn't bother me. Funny thing, I met him when he was playing in a band. It still makes my heart skip a beat to watch him today! :love: On the way home we laughed when I asked him if he remember what we would eat, after he played when we were dating. At 3 am we would cruise through Jack in the Box for ham & cheese sandwiches and milkshakes. The good ole days!!

Tina, I'm sorry about the subpoena. She must be an idot to think she can get out of it. Growing up we ate pancakes for dinner a lot. I think I like breakfast food better at supper time!

Tammy, Cereal is one of my favorite things. I love to eat cereal for dinner. I do a lot when hubby is out of town.

Can't believe that it is already July. Where does time go?

Susan

We ended up having hot dogs and chips for supper. Nice and simple!

Today we planned to grill out, but it started storming. The lightning has stopped, but it is still raining. We are now doing BBQ chicken in the oven. I'm sure it will still be yummy.

Every now and then we'll have breakfast for our evening meal, except we have more than pancakes. Usually I'll scramble some eggs and nuke a few slices of bacon. Now I'm really getting hungry!

The good ol' days of only a few hours of sleep a night! I can remember getting home at 3 or 4 and having to be up by 6:30. And I wasn't grumpy! Now if I have less than 7 hours of sleep I am grumpy. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. Age?????

It's been hard staying OP today. I'm sure I'm over my points for the day.

Tammy, these days' I have to have 7-8 hours sleep too. If not, I'm no good. Age..... bite your tongue!! :lol: Good thing, we did nothing all day.

Susan

Quote of the day
“Don’t exchange what you want most for what you want at the moment.”

Susan

I like that quote, Susan.
Susan, tell us more about your husband and band. What does he play? Is this his full time job?

Tammy, I haven't fixed oven barbecued chicken in ages....have to do that next. I am sooooo tired of chicken but will have to do the oven thing. :)

Would you believe that it is raining again!!!! It's mainly thundering here. My sister lives on the west side of town and they have had heavy rains today. (They escaped from the bad flooding.)
Well, I went to get an estimate of damage on my little Neon. Poor thing. ;)
Tomorrow night I get to go to court. It's such a drag to break up my two-day holiday that way.

What is everyone planning for the 4th? Larry & our son have planned the day so I can rest. Sweet, huh. They will grill hot dogs and fix homemade ice cream. Then, we'll either go play miniature golf or go to a movie. When's the last time you played miniature golf???? I can't remember.

Everyone post. We haven't heard from some in the group for ages!!!!

Tina

Hi there!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Was at my dad's this weekend, and it was really quite nice. Weather was GORGEOUS on Saturday, so we had lots of fun with the boats and jet ski, etc. Sunday was much cooler and very windy, but still had a good time hanging around. Dad enjoyed his birthday, and his wife was actually quite pleasant the entire 24 hours -- and that is a first!! Sticking to WW was a challenge, since all that was available for meals were hot dogs/chips, ribs/potato salad, sloppy joes/chips. I did ok, though -- came back a little up, but correctable :)

It's raining here now, but hopefully will clear up by this afternoon. A lot of areas have their fireworks tonight. My town does them tomorrow night, and they have a live band that is playing downtown before the show, so I'll probably go down for that. In the morning there's a big 4th of July parade in the next town over that I'll probably get to. Other than that, I'm going to be obsessively playing my new computer game that I got yesterday :o And maybe mow the lawn.

Tina, I LOVE miniature golf! Haven't been in years, but they have a little course right next to the driving range I go to, and I keep trying to convince friends to go play with me. No luck yet, but I'll keep trying!

Talk to you later!

Laura~

HI,
There are always so many people at our fireworks displays that we have stopped going. The traffic is a big problem. Sometimes we can see some of them from our front porch.

Laura, what kind of game do you have? I'm glad your father's wife was nice. Until recently when she got ill, my father-in-law's lady friend was such a pain!!! Now she is in a nursing home because she had knee replacement surgery that didn't go well. (I haven't had to see her in a year.) Fortunately, my father-in-law never married her.:dizzy:

I guess Linda is on her trip now.

I've been seeing on the weather that everyone up North has cooler weather. Ours is humid and now we're having more RAIN.

Think of me tonight, it's court night. :)

Tina

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well! I've gone to physical therapy the last 2 days. I can tell each day, my knee gets a little stronger. Actually, I'm tired of not being able to do all that I normally do. My husband won't let me do too much.

Tina, my husband plays in 2 bands. All the same members but different singers. It's not his job and does it for fun. He is a C.O.O. of a company. One is a cover band, 3 of the members are 19 & 20. He plays the bass guitar and sings. It's a blast to go watch. Just found out last night, they will be playing a lot in the near future.

No plans for the 4th. Pat's going to mow. The fireworks display is just down the road so we'll sit in the back to watch them.

I have to tell you that I picked up Chinese food for lunch today. I'm so excited because I was good. I got brocolli & shrimp with white rice, of course an egg roll. No fried rice which I love nor wontons. Believe me this is a major accomplishment.

I got the quote off of WW E-tools. They post one up everyday. I'm going to start copying them and posting it if they are good.

Please becareful on the 4th!!!!

Susan

Tina, sorry you have to go to court tonight. We'll be thinking about you!!

Tina, I'll confess I'm a computer game junkie :) I love strategy-type games. I just got Poseidon yesterday, which is the expansion pack for Zeus. Played for about 4 hours last night! If only that counted as exercise :^:

Susan, that's one of my favorite quotes, too -- I have it posted on my bulletin board here.

Have you guys ever checked out Cyberdiet.com? I just ran across it last week, and they have this "daily reminder" thing you can sign up for where they e-mail you every day with some piece of motivation or reminder on why we're doing this, how we can do better, etc. Some days I don't really agree with them, but most days I like it. It's also a nice reminder that this is something I really want to do.

I might have to leave work early. Someone put out a HUGE bowl of M&M pieces (there have got to be 10 pounds in there). I love M&Ms. A lot. And I have to walk by them regularly. Grrrrrrr.

Good luck in court, Tina! Hopefully this will all be behind you soon :)

Laura~

Greetings from a happy person. :)

I don't have to go to court tonight. Yea!!!!!
The court clerk just called saying the woman came in deciding to take a defensive driving course instead. I called Larry and he said that we'd go out to supper to celebrate.

Susan, wow, your husband is a COO--not bad. ;)
Please do post those quotes.
Also, congratulations for having a healthy Chinese meal. I'm afraid I'd have gotten the fried rice.

Laura, 4 hrs of game playing--that's exercising your fingers & should count for something. he..he

Now I can put my dark, navy blue suit back. I was going to really dress up tonight.

Tina

Happy Independence Day everyone!! Here's wishing everyone a safe, healthy and wonderful holiday.

Tina, that's super about being able to skip court. Hope you had a great dinner to celebrate :)

Laura~

Happy Fourth Everyone!!!

Today we went to a family reunion at my cousin's house. Sandra had decided that it is time for the cousin's kids to get to know each other. It was fun. I know that I didn't do great on the food, but that's life. I did tend to choose the vegies and fruits, but I also ate my pasta casserole and CHOCOLATE CAKE! It was yummy.

I've been doing better on the water the past few days.

I'll have to check out cyberdiet sometime. Not tonight though. Almost ready for some shut eye!

I love miniature golf. I play it every summer where we go on vacation or at our county fair. When we go to Michigan the end of the month, I have already promised my nephews that their favorite Aunt Tammy will take them to play. They are excited.

It sounds like some of us had a happy 4th. I hpe everyone did!
I really "blew it" today. Boy, am I paying for it now. I'm so sick at my stomach. We had a decent lunch; however, for supper, we had KFC. I don't know when I've had fried chicken. Then, we had apple pie and ice cream. I was in heaven, then but not now. :)

I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.

Tina

Hope everyone is doing good!! and recovering from the 4th of July....Not much new here. So here is the quote of the day.. I love it!!!

"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt

Susan

Hi friends, we just returned from spending yesterday and today with friends. They live near a little town called Woodville. It's in the piney woods of TX. Had a great time and didn't overeat.

Susan, would you believe that I saw that quote on a church sign on our trip! How about that!

Tomorrow I must start exercising. the heat index has been over 100 degrees. I might have to wait until tomorrow eveing to walk.

Take care and have a good Monday.
Tina
