Good Sat. Morn, Vi's~~

Back from the beach. It was a nice day. It was sunny here, where I live, and as we drove the 3 hrs east it got cloudier, then a little cloudier, and don't you know that as we're pulling up to the boardwalk, the pitter patter of little raindrops begins!! Just my luck. But it was just light rain, on & off, so it was ok.

We dropped off DH's photos, then went & walked around the town a bit (at least 1/2 the shops were closed, the others all had 50%+ off sales), had lunch @ one of our fav restaurants that overlooks the ocean (I sat facing the ocean & just hypnotized myself watching it), walked around some more, watched the workers driving the pilings on the new condo place (wow that's loud!), got our fav ice creams (they didn't have the key lime I love in summer, but I got a scoop of pumpkin & a scoop of graham cracker so it tasted like a pumpkin pie, yum yum!!)... then piled back into the car & came home! So, almost 6+ hrs in the car for a 3-hr visit. It's official, I AM crazy! (If it had been sunny, we would've hung out on the beach... we brought frisbees & balls & blankets... oh well, maybe next time!)

Honestly, the nicest part was the 6 hours just hanging w/the kids in the car! We didn't even have the radio on! We talked & laughed & were just together w/out distraction (if you don't count me driving a distraction, lol!). It was nice & relaxing... ahhhh...

& now it's today... & I have to make up for the day "off" yesterday w/loads of editing work AND housework... so I'll check back later!!

Make it a good one!!

Yay Haydee, glad the weather cooperated!!! Enjoy the wedding!

TracyK---can't help but wonder if allergies were my issue last week, my nose ran non stop and I sneezed, my throat was sore, but none of the usual achiness associated with a cold. Now I am fine accepting it was probably allergies, my DH--------no way! He does NOT have allergies!!! Part of it is general stubborness, another part is that his brother and sister who live in Denver, both complain about allergies non stop. The don't like to come here because everyones fireplaces/stoves cause their allergies to be bad, and the dust in his Moms house---he swears it is just their noses adjusting from the lack of city smog!! But the point is, he refuses to wimp out to allergies, he has to be SICK!! LOL

We have another softball pick up game this afternoon, I doubt I will play, I am sore......it comes and goes, and I am assured it is normal. I am a month out of surgery now....you'd think I'd be better. Must be the getting old thing again!!!

Oh and Rick said the husband of one of the women who accused me of being a druggie ask if he would mind if he come to the game. Rick told him not a problem, he said the guy acted pretty skeptical of what he would say. The men did nothing, and I had my say with the wives, if they all show, I will just sit with everyone else and let them sit alone like they always did!!! I ain't skeered!!!

Better go get myself dressed. Y'all take care and have a fun, safe weekend, will check in when I get a chance!

Good evening violets-

Michelle-sorry it rained on you! Sounds lke you had a good time though and that is what counts!

Kat-I am sure mine is allergies because the ragweed level has been really high and when it is I get sick. Weird cause that never happened until I got older...go figure.

We went shopping today. Haydee was right...it is absolutely beautiful here this weekend. I wish it could be like this year round.

For the past week or so we have had the worst fire ant infestation. We had ants in almost every room. We fought & fought them and then the other morning when macy woke up and had a bite on her, I pulled out her bed and they were on her mattress & box springs! That was the last straw! Anyway, they had an exterminator out here yesterday and I feel so relieved.

Hope everyone is having fun...I will check back in later :w00t:

Hey Gals~

We had our garage sale...it was fun. Had Stef, BA and Nikki come over and "help"/talk/laugh/Starbucks/donuts...lol!

We made 210 bucks or so...it was BEAUTIFUL here...about 95 today. Shorts and tank tops!

Gonna have stef over later for dinner and Friday the 13th movie night!

Have a great weekend!

Beautiful day here also. If you didn't get outside and enjoy it you missed it. I took doggie for a walk.

This morning I took the sheets off the bed and washed my winter flannel sheets and put them on the bed. Also got the electric blanket out and put it on. Tonight I'm gonna be all snuggly warm.

I got 2 really nice compliments at church this evening. It made me feel good. Nice to know that people notice the weight loss.

Haydee, I was so relieved to hear how you are doing. Really glad to know that things sre going smoothly right now. Keep it up.

We went out to dinner with some friends. We went to Golden Corral. I ate a butt load of veggies. I then decided to treat myself and I had one chocolate cookie and a lemon bar.

I have my doctor's appointment Monday and I don't think it's going to go well. I've lost some but not that much and than on top of that I have had some Water weight gain. You can see it in my cankles. I'm hoping that I get a little fill. Need it to help me get thru the holidays.

TracyK, I still have my jar of peanuts and bag of candy corn. I'll wait a little longer till I mix them up together.

Have a great evening and waitng patiently for Judy to return.

Oh it was a beautiful day here. The sun was shining, the temperature was great!!! Oh wait, I worked all day today, that was everyone was telling me!!!!!

Suzanne that is odd?!?!?!

Okay I watched "Living Proof" on Lifetime tonight, good movie, but one not to watch when you are hormonally challenged!!!! Sad, but very uplifting at the same time.

Tonight is the night that Sarah Palin is going to be on SNL. I thought it was last week (Sorry TracyK!!) Could be very funny. Did you see that Obama came to St. Louis today and made records by the number of people in attendance so far in the US! It looked like it was impressive, but once again I was at work, but even so, I hate crowds, and am not really passionate about him so I wouldn't have gone even if. But, they sure had a wonderful day to do it!!!

Okay I am rambling, sorry!!

Have a great sleep and good tomorrow!!

Mornin' ladies-

I knew I was retaining Fluid but did that stop me from getting on the scales? It should have, but no, I did it anyway and I was back up 2 so it looks like I am back in the yo yo mode. Oh well at least it isn't yoyo-ing from 214-216 like it was! How is that for looking at the bright side?! I still feel horrible. I feel so woozy. I bought some Zyrtec yesterday and it is working cause my nose ran like a faucet all night long! Disgusting. wah wah wah....i have cried enough. lol

Have a great day friends! (((hugs)))

Spongebob is my boyfriend. I was just serenading him.

Just a silly mood I was in.

[Suziecat 379]

Beautiful day here again today. It's supposed to get up to 70. But it is very windy. I have a walking date for 6pm with the lady on the next street over.

Today is also my Bandiversary date. 10-19-06. Down 170 pounds.:w00t: I have an appointment tomorrow and I'm kind of worried. I've been retaining Fluid like crazy since we ate at a Irish pud a week and a half ago. My Water pills don't seem to be doing the work. Anyway I still think I could use a little fill. So I'm hoping I get one.

Me and TracyK in the same water boat.

Have a great day.

Good Sunday Morn, Vi's~~

Happy bandiversary, Suzie! 170 is AMAZING!! Woot!!!

Another busy day, altho I slept in 'til 9 then watched that CBS Sunday Morning program in bed 'til 10am! I am so bad! Now I'm up, showered, and ready to work...

I thought Sarah Palin was a hoot on SNL last night... I love it when folks can laugh at themselves!

Make it a great one, Vi's!
