I'm BACK !! Dropped Phyl off around 4 - was home 4:30 - Andrew was here cleaning up the house- Guess Joseph an them picked up but my DARLING Andrew was vaccuming etc - GREAT KID !!! He's my heart !!!

I've unpacked showerd and ready for the couch- We came home the back way - it must have rained tons out in the desert cuz when you see pic's Phyl took there's dirt rocks and debris all over the road - NEVER go that way if it's raining.. A car in front of us got a flat - thank God we didn't...

Gave Phyl a little thrill on the way home - had these 3 motorcyclist in front of us - we were going about 60 got sick of following them - so when we had a clear shot - had to pass all 3 (they were spaced quite a bit apart) - well car hit 100 - She has never gone that fast in her life ;0) ...

Well, we had a great time - I'm pooped - will post pics tomorrow -

Chris from TX it's hard to eat out and make healthy choices - are you a long haul driver or - just daytime deliveries -

WTG Sandy & Laurak on your exercising !!!

Jessica - WTG on school !!!

Laura - :0) Nelson just too cute..

Gang - I am pooped - will chat tomorrow

Arlene and Eva... glad you had good trip home. We had a few rain drops here and there, and a short-lived problem with the car right after we filled up. It started kind of choking and stalled several times. Think there was an air bubble or something in the gas tank. We stopped for Breakfast 20-30 miles down the freeway and after all the stuff I ate this weekend... I got stuck on pancakes! I should have known better. Have more trouble with pancakes than with bread!

Okay girls, I made it home, too.... It has been a long day waiting at the Salt Lake City airport for 4 hours, then got on the plan and had to wait some more as they needed to take another crew along to fix a plane that was grounded in Bismarck..... DH was there to meet me and then he took me to Walmart to get my popsicles....... had 2 on the way home.... ooooooooooooohhhhhhh it was heaven.......

Hope everyone is safe and well... My pain was manageable for the weekend.... it was there, but I did control it as best I could.... today was pretty good, but I'm hurting now.... Want a shower and some of my tingly cream and a hot pack.......

I did talk to Apples before boarding my plane and Jodi and Jeff had taken her and Joyce and Cheri out to lunch and then Cheri to the airport and then Apples and Joyce were going shopping..... They will be home tomorrow... Lori is safely at home... tried to call her but we played phone tag......

OMG, Sandy..... those skunks are something... Hope you get them all out of the way.... good going on the running...

Laura K.....love the new picture.... and you're running now too.... WTG

Laura great pic of Nelson.... congrats on purple.... Hows Mom and Dad???

xoxoxo

[IndioGirl55 32]

Good Morning Gang...

Well 5 a.m. sure came early today !! Work ;0( then gym tonite at least it's not bootcamp - weight training arm

Chris last night I made bbq chicken in the oven - I made 6 pieces - I will take one for lunch every day this week - I won't warm it up cuz I like my chicken cold and will have a salad with it

Eating out is processed food - full of hidden sugar and salt etc - I am far from organic - but I prefer home cook food - if you are a long haul trucker - cook up a chicken and put it in your cooler

Someone said Soups in a thermos - great Idea - I make a bot of Beans - you can blended them on the full liquid stage and have that for lunch every day..

I usually cook stuff on Sundays and have lunch for most of the week..

Well gang - hope Joyce & Apples have safe trip home

Sure enjoyed meeting ALL that came - we never really planed our next get together - Branson came up - how's that for pple - or a cruise or even Chicago - I know it's really hard $$ wise and getting times together - lets vote on place and time and see what we can figure out - 3 days is a good time limit

Welcome home VEGAS GIRLS! Just loved the photos and can't wait to see more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just have to share this guys. The accident happened a few miles from my house and the family lives 1 mile from me. The poor mother has her husband, and 3 other children in the ICU. How she can plan a funeral and deal with them in the hospital. Forget either of them working and the bills still come in.

R.I.P. Briana Cooper

Last week our community lost a beautiful little 11- year old girl in a tragic car accident. I knew her through my neighbors who were in school and Girl Scouts with her. Her family is obviously dealing with the most devastating thing a parent can deal with. If you can please keep them in your prayers. Also, if you a...re able to donate to her memorial- every bit helps.

Thank you for reading this.

STUART — Todd Cooper was returning Wednesday from a family dinner at Five Guys Burgers and Fries, his 11-year-old daughter and three younger children in the car with him.Behind the wheel of a Honda Accord on Pomeroy Street at about 7 p.m., the 36-year-old father was turning on a green light onto westbound Kanner Highway when an eastbound Oldsmobile didn’t stop at the red light, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The Oldsmobile, driven by Michael Opsincs, 26, slammed into the 1996 Honda in a “T-bone” manner and left it in two pieces.Brianna Cooper, 11, died after being taken to Martin Memorial Hospital South in Port Salerno, while Bryce Cooper, 9, and 3-year-old twins Briley Cooper and Brandon Cooper sustained critical injuries. The latter three eventually were transferred to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, said Scott samples, public information coordinator with Martin Memorial Health Systems

Happy Retirement Eva!!!! You are a great roommate! I enjoyed our walk around the casinos. Maybe that is why I did not gain any weight.

Old Fibro tried to get me down around three this morning. It is not going to win......I am off to help DD and run errands.......and then Bunco.....my mindless fun again!

HUGs to all!

Laura, prayers for the family in the accident.

[phyllser 3]

DARN!!

I just lookd at the clock and I have to go to the pool or be late for Water aerobics!!

Have to finish this later!!!

*************

Goodness!

I didn't mean THAT much later!

I don't know what happened to yesterday!

Pool, hot tub, lunch, Walmart, costco,

wine on the patio w/German neighbors,

dinner, dog park, and I guess I just wasted the rest of the day watching TV and playing Mah Jongg on the computer!!

So here it is morning again!

Okay girls, I made it home, too....

We'll talk later... Julie

Glad you had a good trip home! Yes, it's always so NICE to be home! So you got your popsicles!!

I think it might be cool enough this week

for me to get some of my Skinny Cow Truffles home in a semi solid state!!

Silly girl - you weren't suppose to tell him ;0) - I want you use my White Choc creamer - but need to sleep tonite - can't wait till morning Glad everyone has made it home - I'm going to bed in a few - ttyl

xoxoxo

How could I not tell him about one of the highlights of my trip!! LOL!

Did you get to taste the White chocolate yet???

A cruise would be fun, but I can't do that in April because we're planning to go to Cabo w/DD & SIL. But... cruising w/o my husband.. not sure I would. And think about this ladies... price for a cabin by yourself is very high. And sharing a cabin.. will not be the same as sharing a condo!

:biggrin:

It will be a lot of togetherness!

I probably can't do anything in April,

but Branson or Chicago would be fun.

I LOVE Branson!

So sorry to hear about that tragic accident!

That's awful!

Yes... Happy Retirement to Eva! She is off and running by now, I'm sure! Off to Argentina! Hope they have a wonderful time! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Glad you had a good trip home

and enjoyable seat-mate!

Janet and I stopped a little bit up the freeway for Breakfast and I made a bad decision to have pancakes with my ham and eggs! I don't tolerate pancakes well and I KNOW that! But Earl wasn't there so I thought I'd be bad!

So I was stuck the rest of the day and have been tight ever since!

[peaches9 3]

Wow, sounds like Vegas was a blast! Glad you are all home safe and sound. Janet, you are right about the eating out food... you just never know whats in it!!

Did you ride the BULL... did you have a Long Island Iced Tea for me????

SO you came in at 2 a.m. , ah that's not so bad! Did you win any money????

[IndioGirl55 32]

Laura

Hugs and prayers for the family...

Candice - No $$$ - No Bull - No Ice Tea - tequilla tonic on friday only 2 and they were weak - and the only reason we got home at 2 was cuz we had to wait and hr to get a cab that would carry 5 pple - never did so after an hr of waiting for one to come - we had to take 2 cabs

Sat had chadonnay wine w/ dinner and then back in the room - I had a little buzz going on - Hell that night I think we went to bed around midnite.. That's the night I was showing off my Spanx ;0) at least Phyl didn't take a pic of that lol - and then I was showing them my yoga moves lol... I guess when I talk I am very expressive w/my face...

I haven't even looked at my pic's yet - but will upload tonite...

Back to work...

[1day at a time 2]

Hi all job is good it is getting there. My band has calmed down so now I do not have to go to my Dr. Yeah!!!

[sndycnrd 1]

It sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves in Vegas. I can't wait to see some pictures!

1day - I am glad the job is getting better. I have always found it hard to be the new kid on the block. Some times we need to give a new situation a little time.

I went to exercise tonight. Boy, she had been really tough lately. She told me that a lot of what we did today was from her boot camp class and that I could now handle the class. Move over Janet, I may be joining you in boot camp soon. LOL

LauraK - did you get out and run today?

Sandy

[llkb4me 1]

Sandy,

Good job on the exercise.

No running today, I went to a Yoga class. 1st one and I loved it going again on Wed.

Hi everyone............ I've had a really long day today so far...... Got an early phone call (8:00) from Mother and Mimi.. Mimi wanted me and so I had to get her.... Her mother came to get her at 10:30, but called soon after and wanted me to take Mimi to the doctor... thinks she has a bladder or yeast infection... cries when so goes, so started holding it too long and is having lots of accidents..... So I did that and then had to keep her here the rest of the day... Wanted to get a urine sample, but no luck.... We had on pull-ups and just would not go on the toilet....... I tried and tried..... She left at 6:00... however at 1:00 I had my therapy..... DH was here to watch her for a little..... Well....... therapy hurt me again like it did last Thursday before I left... I have been hurting terribly bad since about 5:30.... Just shy of crying but really wanted to..... I've taken my meds and had a hot shower and now my cream..... It's starting to back off a bit.... But therapy seems to be stirring up the pain now... He wants me to have a tens unit to have at home so I can stimulate the muscles without touching them.... but have to have Ins approval.... Hope it goes fast..... I'm so glad the pain didn't get out of control while we were in Vegas..... It got to an 8 a couple of times, but mostly manageable and I slept okay... yesterday I did surprisingly well.... Didn't take any meds until I got home...... So, I guess vacation is over and back to my rat race.....

Melissa, I'm so glad to hear you say the job is better and you didn't have to see your doctor afterall..... That's great news and things are just going to get better and better.... good for you....

I talked to Karen just after she landed in Minneapolis.. She wasn't sure if she was driving home tonight or tomorrow.... I think I'd wait til morning and be fresh... she'll have lots of cooking and stuff to do when she gets home..... She takes such good care of her men.......

Eva, I'm guessing you won't see this, but I just hope you have the best time in Argentina... will await the stories and pictures when you get home...... safe travels..

Laura, so sorry for your terrible community tragedy.... Nothing worse than the death of a child.... My DD was in a T-bone accident like that and her best friend was killed.... 14 years old..... back when they were in 9th grade.... 4-99.......... Changed DD's life forever to lose her friend and go through that.... my prayers for the girl and her family..... that poor mother...... Keep us up-to-date on the condition of the other family members...

Well, my foggy head isn't remembering much more so will say goodbye for now... talk to you all later.... Judy, are you out there??? I missed you in Vegas... no roomate to talk to while falling asleep!!!!!

Take care all.............. Hugs......... Julie

I am back sortta. I got back from Vegas yesterday afternoon and then went to some friends for dinner. Got home late and then up at 4 am for a flight to Denver to spend the day with Grandma. Ch went to Phoenix today and was supposed to get back at the same tome as me but his flight is late and I am stuck at airport waiting for him and attempting to do this from my phone. I had a great time in Vegas and wad so happy to get to meet everyone I have been so anxious ever since I couldn't make Florida. Everyoneis pretty much in person as they are online very genuine,supportive, and caring and a hoot to be with. I just talked to Karen during her drive back home. I have to rely on everyone elses photos. Yes i remembered my phone, but forgot the charger grrrrrr. Foodwise i did ok and may even have lost a pound. Can't wait til we can meet again my vote- cruise
