Terry, I'm so sorry you are having such a bad time. It's horrible all that you are having to endure. I wish I knew what to say to take all your pain away. Just suffice to say that I am always thinking of you and keeping you and your family in my prayers. Hugs to you. Here's a picture that hopefully will put a smile on your face. We found this floating in the pool while we were swimming. Think I'll have to send it back to Florida.

Note to self: Do NOT, I mean do NOT eat a whole chicken breast from KFC.

Thank goodness for SPF70. I'd be a burnt little girl by now without it. Love Pool time. Laura. The school is just about a mile from my house. It's were my neice and nephew graduated from. It's also were David Cook (AI Winner-last year) graduated from. I just thought I would send all of you one so that when you go on your trip you can all wear tham and take a pic for me. Will make me feel like at least a little part of me was there. School colors ar Blue, Green and silver. BS North is Purple and Gold.

Wow, that was fast. I didn't even have time to tell you that I sent it. And by the way Laura, you should be getting a package soon also. If I am missing anyone please let me know. I'm trying to get them all out before your trip so you can all take them. I want a group photo.

Good Saturday Morning. I loved, loved, loved the pics from Cali. All of you are so beautiful. I'm up and going to get my housework done so I can spend the rest of the day in the pool. Lucky me. Last night I was watching Dateline and around 9:30 a guy I went to school with was on FB and he wanted to chat. We have talked alot since he registered. We had been chatting for about a few minutes when he said that he was having problems with chat and he wanted to know if he could call me. We had talked on the phone before. So he calls and we talked and talked and talked. Finally he said his phone battery was going out and we ended up saying good bye. We had been on the phone for over an hour and a half. We had such a good talk and wondered why we never talked like that in school. It was fun and I look forward to doing it again. Hoping that all of you have a great weekend. Chat with you soon.

Finally able to get on-line. Weird, Hubby was able too but I couldn't. Anyway, we went to the gym and came home and started in on cleaning the pool. Got it vacummed and chemicals in. Now just waiting for the heater to get it up to at least 85. But I have to work later today so it might be this evening before I can get into it. I can't believe what an incredible time that Pam, Haydee and Michelle are going to have this weekend. I too am also jealous. Good friends, food and lots of sunshine. Can't get much better than that. Terry, gas prices went up here again today. It's $2.39 a gallon and a barrell is up over $63. It's bad enough we have to pay that much for it. I'm just hoping that it doesn't get back up to about $5.00 a gallon like before. There was absolutely no need for that to have happened. Our current Pres is more interested in all of us painting our roofs white than about what is going on in the oil fields. I could go on but I won't drag you all into it. Everyone have a great Friday and an even better weekend. I'll pop in when I get out of the pool.

Michelle and Haydee.... Have the time of your life. Enjoy all you can and have a very very safe trip.

Hey Pam. I know you have been really busy but are you caught up on All My Children? Did you see that they killed Stewart off?

Nick Nolte???? Mickey Rourke??????

Good Morning Ladies. Rain again today. and cold. Only in the 60's all day. I woke up around 12:30 having to go to the bathroom and ended up having a charley horse on my shin. Boy is that hard to walk off. I walked and massaged for a long time. Finally crawled back into bed and let it calm down. Woke up at 4:30 and it's still calm but very sore. It's gonna make working out this morning a little touchy. Terry, Hannah is driving now??? Good Luck.

Home from work. I was wanting to get in the pool but it is just too cold. What happened to May? For lunch today I made a salad and used a yellow and a red pepper in it. It was really good. I need to get some more salad dressing. My favorite is Raspberry Vinigrete(sp?). I ended up using light Blue Cheese. After that I ended up having 2 popcicles. Not good but still ok. I stopped and got a route 44 ice tea with lemon on the way to work. When I got home I made hubby's dinner and got me a bowl of watermelon. I just had to go get a second helping. Great, now I'll be up all night pee'ing. Next couple of days are gonna be busy ones for me. Just a bunch of running around. Have a great evening.

Pam, someday it will pass and hopefully it will be soon. Nothing like a good fight.

Back from grocery store. I made 5 pounds of Tuna Salad to take and I bought 3 pounds of sliced Turkey. Also got 4 loaves of bread. I'll leave here soon to take it over to the church. I ran into another couple at the store who were buying food to take to his mother's funeral. It is also today. They live on the next block over but I had thought that they were going to take her to Mexico to bury her. My eating report so far for today is 1/2 of a banana. Chat at ya soon.

Up a little early today. I need to get to the store. There is a huge funeral tonight at church and the call went out for food. So I'm gonna go see about getting stuff to make sandwiches with to take. I also need to pick up a few things to make the soups with for the pouch test. Jenn, I hate that you lost your job and know that something better will come along soon. It's just going to be nice to have you around here for awhile. Jane, I'm keeping my car also. With hubby retired we just don't want that payment again. I'm taking better care of this one so it will last longer. KC is 21st and St. Louis is 33rd on the list as the healthiest. No wonder I am the way I am. Low on the totem pole. Everyone have a great day. It's CTCD also.

Off to bed. Tomorrow it's back on the 5 day pouch diet for me. I ate like a fool today and need to get back to basics. Hope everyone got home safe and that everyone had a great weekend.

:patriot:Happy Memorial Day. Rainy here today and we have company coming over. Oh well. It will be all right. Hubby and I will be leaving here soon to go to the gym. He said just because it's a holiday, doesn't mean that we have to slack off. He's right. Ugh. Everyone have a great day.

Pam, I loved the pictures. How incredible. And your brother is a little cutie. Looks like all of you had a great time. We got up and went to Wal-Mart to get chlorine for the pool and a few other things. Came home and mowed the yard. I went ina nd put my swim suit on and did my exercises. I than swam 20 laps and ran 5 laps. Than I laid on the air mattress and floated for a half hour. It felt great. Went over to a birthday party for a 4 year old that we know. I walked out of there not eating any cake. I didn't even bring a piece home. I did have a hot dog in a bun and was only able to eat half of it and gave hubby the rest. I was afaid I was going to end up in the bathroom. It's off and on raining right now. Looks like it will be this way for a little bit. It will give me some time to get some things done around the house here. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Michelle, it was a great day and I enjoyed it. I hope everyone had as nice a day as I have had. I now must confess, I did NOT respect the pouch. Oh Well. :wink2:

I'm out of the pool, for a little while. We went to a graduation party for our old next door neighbor. They moved away about 10 years ago but we have kept in touch with them. Had a great time. I did real good on my eating. I brought a piece of grad cake home and pretended it was birthday cake for Janie. Jane, Hope you had a wonderful day. Back to the pool now.

:party: :thumbup: Happy Birthday to My JanieGirl. :mad:

Well, it's just hubby and me. Abby's daddy came by to drop off some clothes and she decided that she never gets to see her dad and wanted to go home with him tonight. Now....what to do......Hmmmmmmm. Got any ideas????

Hey girls. I was up early and out the door. I had to work a shift for a girl. I got home and went in and put my swimming suit on. My sister pointed out how much looser(sp?) it is from last year. Anyway. I've been in the pool ever since. The heater has the temp up to 90 degrees and it's only 80 degrees outside. It felt so good. My nephew dropped Abagail off and she has been in the pool for about an hour. I got her out and in the bathtub. She's all washed up and in her PJ's and will be spending the night. She said she wants to sleep on the couch with Uncle D. LOL. Terry, I feel so sorry for you, just know that you are in my prayers. I hope you have fun on your trip. Safe travels to everyone that is on the road. I'm staying home and most likely in the pool. I'll check in when I can. Off to go color in the colorbook. TTFN.

I was so prepared for Adam to win but am glad that Kris did. Adam is such a good entertainer and will be big someday. He just wasn't what I would listen too. A little too screechy for me. Everyone that is traveling this week, be safe. Enjoy your journey's and as Tracy says, "Respect the Pouch". Hubby and I are staying home. Heck, we don't need to go anywhere. We have all we need right here. And somewhat good weather to boot. Pool is up and running, heater is one. Potato Salad will be made and the watermelon cut up. The grill will get a workout this weekend. Off to the grocery store.

Tracy, When I was going thru my weight loss in my first year I joined Curves. I worked out like a dog. 3 sometimes 4 times a week. I was also walking. I was doing everything but losing weight. I had a Lady who was special to me and she told me that I needed to hang in there. That my body needed time to accept the changes that were going on. It took 5 weeks when all of a sudden I was dropping inches like crazy and the weight started coming off also. My advice to you is to give it time also. You need to let your body figure out what is going on, when it does it will do what it needs too. Just hang in there, you'll see.
