some more pics I think it worked??

O.k. whew, I think I have read the 6 pages that I missed.... made some comments here and there.... Stephanie: HUGS on the law issues with Michael... I would be pissed at those girls too. Perhaps they should be charged with making FALSE statements and causing YOUR family Stress, not to mention destroying Michaels reputation. I hope it get resolved soon. ALso the man that died, that's aweful news and so sad for a community. Don't beleive the rumours, look what rumours did for Michael, give that man the benefit of the doubt and pray for his eternal peace. You are going gang busters on the 3day fundraising!!! You are boundless with your energy. Karri; Hang in there girl, look to the future and your NEW classroom. Maintain some boundaries for yourself though with new work schedules and you'll be fine. Janet: Man, should you be upping your cals when you work out so hard??? the Sausage, 2 eggs sounded right.. and you didn't slip to badly on the cheezies... I will offer up my confession ... but not for a few more days (sic) Linda; Oh that Penny girl, she does not appreciate you and your endless efforts... hope the party was fun even with the extra work load. If it was like my place I had lots of CLEANUP volunteers.... and I TOOK it all!!!!! Karla; Good work on the garage sale... that was a huge step for you decluttering... how much $$$$ did you make? Enough for a Xmas plane ticket to Ontario or WIsconsin???? HUMMMM????? O.k. the party.... Lets start on Friday, when Peter 's Cousin PAT came early to help me... she was a dear... we hung tea light Candle lanterns from all the branches of trees, Xmas lights were strung and the yard looked beautiful. Porta Potty rental arrived on Friday.. my daughter shows up and the first things she noticed was the NAME on the Potty door.... "B.J.'s" portable rentals uh, so just let your minds sift down to the gutter and you'll know how hard we were all laughing... I said to Peter, """for your Birthday gift.... remember that BJ you;ve always wanted????? uh, well its in the DRIVEWAY... help yourself!!!"" I know, heck this is an adult thread right? Sat am last preps for the party, my DD and SIL arrive, my SIster, my BFF from London... all early!~!!! but that was o.k. I put them all to work. Setting up the BAR... see pictures here and on FACEBOOK. Peter was SO happy, couldn't get the smile off his face... He was really touched that 55 people came for his day. With a special surprise guest!!! Then we had the ROCK and ROLL band guys come, 2 drummers, a harp players... etc... way cool. BUT some darn neighbor phoned the COPS on us... so they came by with a warning about the noise... if it didn't cease by 8 oclock they were coming back with a FINE... So then we switched to playing softer JAZZ music and that was o.k. into the night... really great party.. There was only one hickup... my GF in Toronto's boyfriend got ticked when he asked where the Bathroom was, and my BFF said its right there the PORTA POTTY!!! As we are on SEPTIC tank I rented the toilet so people wouldn't be traipsing in and out of my house.... he states "I have never used a porta potty in my LIFE!!!!" (all indignant) so my friend HELEN (who is also my cleaning lady) says to him" Well sweetie, there';s afirst time for everything!".... I didnt' hear about any of this THAT night, just the day after comments etc... But it was SUPER , and my HUBBY is SO happy:thumbup:

Gosh Phyl, that dress looks damn fine on you women!!! You get better and better looking all the time.... How is it that a Knee replacement makes you look younger!!!! You rock on !!! Fabulous pictures. Can't wait to see you next week!!!

Whoa, Michael dosn't do his own laundry!?!?! That stops NOW!!! You tell him that his Aunt Candice said that :cursing: He;ll break down when he runs out of clean clothes... BE STRONG! He's at the age where he wants to start driving right? well there's his pay off. Chores/responsibility = driving priveledges(or whatever is deemed age approp.) find his currancy$$$ I had Megs doing her own laundry at 1 or 12 yrs old... cause I didn't wash it fast enough for the Princess!!! HA... No seriously, he needs responsibilities and can do chores around the house just like everybody else... Little ones can have age appropriate chores to do to... 1) making their beds, clearing the table, loading the dish washer with their cups and plates... Yup, some things will get broken, but that's how they learn. and GIRL you need some HELP.. you just can't run the whole household of 5 people alone. Its not right, its not fair... Have a FAMILY meeting to discuss duties, and if you need to bribe them to get started so be it... OMGOSH, I just realized I spewed advise and wasn't asked.... sorry!!!

Girlfriend, all I can say is WOW, those gym clothes are HOT HOT HOT.... I'd be wearing that FLICKING outfit to the OFFICE.....:cursing: and Kudos on the Marketing people contacting you... how exciting is that!!!

Oh Karri; I am so sorry to hear of your news... I just now got back on LBT and am reading as fast as I can to catch up.. I know that whatever happens IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION for YOU! It will work out, you are a very resourceful gal... and Lee is so supportive. Dallas sounds like a good option. Keep posting, we love you here!!! Candice

Karla darling, I don`t n( think), I KNOW that Yoga class WILL positively (not possibly) reduce your stress. You WILL love it I promise. Pay whatever it costs hun, cause you are worth it!!! How much does mental health cost anyways huh? You can`t be beating up children (although I am sure some of them deserve it ) If you go to the gym 6 times per month, then you;ve paid for all of the visits and the 7 -20 times is FREE... my YMCA charges ?50 per month or $ 9 per day.... Gotta run CBL:crying:

Ya Peter`s birthday party is going to be fun.... as long as I don`t let my SISTER stress me out... she called yest. to tell me she was Bringing her own drinks... Ò`Dooles near Beer... oh good I said, I hadn`t thought to buy any of that... GOod for you pacing yourself between REAL beers... she says``« òh, so you think I have a drinking problem?``` ah, I was not the one who suggested you bring fake beer!!! So now she is pissed with me Then she says, ¨` how about we all go the casino overnight on the SUNDAY??? `` Ya, like Im gonna be doing anything exept CLEAN... is she on crack??? OH man, give me strength!!! Peter is still making ICE and I went out to buy finishing touches today... got him some Fake Viagra PILLS as a joke... plus Fake MONEY, I`m gonna put something in the card like.... Here`s all the loonies and twonies that you SAVED by making your OWN Ice for the party:biggrin:

Those pictures of the KAREN`s is great!!! They look like such nice ladies!!! What a great trip. Sorry EARL was cranky, that`s to be expected on such a long trip. When Peter and I did it, surprising ly we only had ONE really grumpy day, and I just YELLED back at him.... then - it was over... It will be so cool to get to Buffalo!! YES the weather long range looks good for this weekend... now how about getting together AFTER the wedding? Say next week sometime... would that work for you guys?? We could meet you in Toronto for LUNCH/Dinner.... what do you think? Gotta work this morning with the KIDDIES cooking class... then my cleaning lady comes today. I havn`t had her in 6 mos.... and she REALLY cleans thoroughly so I can`t wait!!! Tomorrow is Zumba, Wed is total body core, singing rehersal, Thurs is last minute party plans, then FRIDAY the people start arriving... Gonna be real crazy for sure!!!

Ha,ha,ha... I guess I asked for that one! I forgot that you hang with the OLD Broads!!!! You forward this to ROSE she`ll knoow exactly what I am talking about!!!:scared2:

When did Sunday Night television get so bad? Used to be it all started with BONANZA... remember the Cartwright boys... all hunks.... Then there was the Ed Sullivan Show.... always something new to watch there. Lassie.... Then, if you were allowed to stay up later - there was COMBAT and GUNSMOKE!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO TV???? iTS ALL CRAP ON NOW:cursing:

spent the afternoon going over music songs with John Weston (you girls remember him from Elvis Week eh?) he`s going to play a few tunes for me to sing to at Peter`s party... It was such fun, and good for my ego!!

picture of my BABY

o.k. so my numbers are 43`` around the fullest part of the bust. and my RIB measurement is 37 + 1 inch to round up to 38`` therefore the difference is 5 `` which equals an ``E`` cup... which is exactly what I wear....

Oh my GOSH.... i just started cleaning out my Upstairs freezer.... thinking I`ll need room this week when I buy Icecubes by the bag for the party.... So I load up a laundry basket of stuff, go downstairs to my chest freezer - open it up and guess what? there is no room in there.... Apparently my HUSBAND has been making ice cubes for the party next weekend!!!! WTF? Dosn`t he know we can buy ice??? EARL!!! earl!!! HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING e-CLASSES ONLINE!!!!????? :scared2: :crying: :confused:

here it is.... the most awesome link... How to fit a bra :confused:

You will be surprised how FREEING it feels to get rid of it all. I don`t know why we say to ourselves... ``i`ll use this next season`... or Its so cute, I cant bear to get rid of it....augh! Its just STUFF and its weighing you down... same thing with clothes in dif sizes... if I havn`t worn it in six months(within seasonal of course) then toss it too.!!! When I go thru my underwear drawer I am disgusted... loosening elastic? WTF why do I keep laundering them??? TOSS... oh yeah, and that goes for that Ol`favorite comfy bra!!! If it dosn`t make the girls stand to attention.... chuck it...it is NOT supporting you, so you should NOT support it either... M'y pet peeve, ladies in BRAS`s that Don`t fit.... YUK!!!:confused:

Karla: Yup, girl you have too much stuff.... write a list of 5 fav hobbies, keep that stuff and donate, toss all the rest... Is thERE A teacher friend at school who might want it for crafts??? What about an elementary school teacher, ie younger grades??? Janet: O..k. today exercise was WALKING, it was CORVETTE weekend in the Beach and there were about 200 vets in town.... show n-shine... then the cruise around town... yup all 200 of themn.... really cool.... the weather just held off raining until the cars were all lined up ... then it came down..

I think P is getting excited too. :biggrin: Visited my Mom this aft. got there around lunch time... and there was a new lady sitting at Mom`s table. I asked ``Where`s Micki?` oh my Mom says, oh she died last week! Crap, I can`t beleive my Mother didn`t tell me!!! I really liked Micki, she was a sweet ol gal... 84... which is not really all that old, but her heart was not pumping like it should have, she`d been in the hospital last week yto have litres of fluid drained off of her.... so obviously she was in congestive heart failure... too bad...
