Checking in before babysitting.......I stayed in the pool for 2 hrs on my float. It is called a "jogger". You get on it and just kinda jog in the Water. I love it.

Great.......Aloha! Glad you are back! Missed Ya!

Melissa, I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Well, my DS is moved in . He put his furniture in a POD, and rented a store room for the rest of his stuff. It is going to be a tight fit for awhile, but I don't want it to be too comfortable. He might stay too long.

Apples, your seafood appetizer sounds awesome. I will write that one down. I found a cookie recipe for my GS to make......well, two recipes. One is chocolate chip with pepper......the other one is an oatmeal spice cookie with nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and pepper. I have eaten chocolate chip with pepper and it is so good. I have to keep it simple so he won't feel overwhelmed. Remember that pumpkin cake recipe you gave me last year? I think he could make that one for the cake judging.

Janet, I bet your pool is HOT! with that kind of heat at night. Yep, a bath sounds better.

Arlene...I have a great Bundt cake recipe.

Make a butter pecan cake recipe according to the pkg. Set aside 1/3 of the mixture. Add 1 reg size box of dry butterscotch pudding mix and pour into greased and floured Bundt pant (I use the Pam spray for baking that has flour added). Take the 1/3 mixture and add 1/2 cup Hersheys Syrup. Pour on top of other in pan. Bake at 350 until cake springs back to the touch. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar.

Maybe this won't work if he cannot use mixes. If not, I have a great from scratch cherry nut cake that is easy to make. Just let me know

Apples, I will get his mom to ask. That sounds great, and I would like the cherry nut too. Both of them sound like good cakes for the fall. The fair is in October. He has to have his entries in on the 8th. I want him to practice in September. He is going to be a busy boy. He is playing football and baseball along with tending to a calf. Do you mind sending me the recipes by email?

No problem.

School was much better today. Teachers note even said he did better. It's just all a little confusing. The staff is still trying to figure out how to get the kids in and out of the building. I did volunteer today. I didn't even think of putting it on my resume'. Thanks apples. They are in desperate need of clinic help. One lady is a semester behind me in school and said she felt like she wasn't ready to handle it. You really are limited to what you do. We can't just give them tylenol and send them back to class. We can't give any med without written permission. So mostly we just call their parents. I just sat with them and chatted them up till their parent came. Just simple first aid stuff. Wasn't as big a deal as I was expecting. Band-aids and time out was mostly what they needed. Tomorrow I will have to remember to take a couple school books.

When I finally went to get Jake the cafe was so quite. They really are trying to keep the peace and be more efficient. Also over heard alot in the office. I worked right next to the principals office all day. She is working hard to take care of the pickup problem. I also suggested they take donations of clothes for the children who have accidents. She was so excited about it. So grateful too that I was there. Helps ease my neves about meeting all these new people. I really think the principal used to be my highschool softball coach. I worked out with them a little before I moved so I don't remember it. She just looks so familiar. Oh well I am rambling. It just feels good not spending your whole day home alone.

So happy Merry is doing so well. I thought it would atlest be a week but she sounds wonderful.

Oneday, I hope your doc can fix you up. Get well soon.

Jessica, so glad your little man had a better day. Volunteering is so needed and rewarding not to mention it makes Jake proud to see his mom at school.

My DD just picked up Sydney. The doctor said she is dilated to a little over 3. She said she would induce in two weeks, but doubts she will make it that long. So, we should have a baby soon.

Apples, thanks for the recipes. What kind of icing do you put on the cherry nut.?.....buttercream? cream cheese?

Melissa - hope you feel better soon. Let us know.

Cable company replaced the modem and I'm back on line. Yippee.

Saw my Dr. and he added .5 to my band. I expressed that it is hard to believe that would make a difference, but he assured me it can. We are both happy with my progress, but I'm beginning to eat a little more and loss has stalled (altho I'm not regaining). His advice was to add very small amount of fill.

Trying to catch up on the posts. I'm so far behind.

Yep 1/2 cc is alot - once I got a fill and he put in 1 cc - but then had to take 8 of it out - so that .2 was just right

I have done both on this cake. As I stated in my email, the cake is heavy so it just needs a bit of icing. Also good with whipped cream or cool whip

I am just trying to stay awake now, might have to go to bed after Big Brother tonight. (what did I miss on Sunday Janet?). But in my sleepy state I did manage to do 4 loads of laundry, vaccuum, make up the spare bed, grocery shop and give both dogs baths after being in the kennel they stunk!

I don't think I could have accomplished that much on no sleep. I love my good night's sleep and do not funtion without. In fact, I turn into a "B".

DISCLAIMER!!!! By no means was that cake recipe I posted weightloss friendly. Only posted to help our Arlene's DGS. I should go back and delete the post so none of you make it. The other two recipes from today are fairly healthy and band friendly:biggrin:

Janet - way to go wearing a tank top. Noticed you mentioned you were at 119 - I weighed that in the 9th grade.

Forgot to mention that all my blood work came back in the normal range - which is GREAT for a 67 yr. old. Cholesterol @ 196 - so yippee, under 200.

So, for now, my weight and cholesterol are the same. lolol
