New Jersey August Chat

[SherryW 4]

Ooo pool party now that would of been alot of fun I bet it was a blast and maybe someday I can make it to one of those Sure would be nice to meet all you gals.

Today it's been beautiful here and about 79 degrees.This morning I got up and made for the first time bread and Butter pickles. DH has grown so many cucumbers I had to do something with them so I remembered my grandmother making those and thought I'd give it a whirl. No idea how they taste yet they have to sit in the refridge for a while. After that took off and went to the flea market with DH. It was nice to get out of the house and walk around. I actually found some Tylenol Go Tabs! I'm so excited! They don't make those anymore and I've missed them. Having to take 7 kids chewables and only be getting 1/2 the strength has been yucky hahaha. Bubble gum and grape flavoring isn't that great so I can understand now why the kids don't like taking it. Anyway found them and bought enough to have some spares. DH got a wind catcher that looks like a Blue Jay for the back yard. It's cute...went out to lunch and back home. I have a batch of chocolate chip Cookies baking for a friend of ours who lost his mom this week. He always loved my CC Cookies when I lived next door. He was so funny, he would smell them baking from outside and come knocking on my door hahaha. Anyway I thought it would cheer him up a bit if I brought him over some later on today or tomorrow. I still have to make a run to BJ's wholesale to pick up the Breakfast stuff for the company I work with tomorrow. Its getting to the point where I'm hating having to do that all the time. I do it on my own time and then I'm responsible to feel 80 people. It's nerve wracking and when you hear people complain its worse. I just set it all up and leave now so I don't have to hear it. :youcandothis: I think that's it besides laundry for me today :welldoneclap:

Anyone watching the Olympics? I enjoy them especially the gymnastics and those guys on the rings. HOLY SMOKEs how the hell do they do that. Amazing!

Eileen were are ya girly. I miss ya. Hope all is going well. Are you counting down the days to Disney?

Oops buzzer just went off for the cookies...gotta get them before I burn em. (Kinda famous for forgetting them lol) hugs!

Good Morning Y'all!

It was 106 here yesterday, and hot! We are supposed to get some badly needed rain today, so I am hoping it hits us and cools us down to under 100.

Sherry - that must be a tough job "feeling" 80 people! Where do you "have" to "feel" them at? lol Just giving you a hard time lady! I wouldn't want to worry about getting all that stuff and doing it on my own time either. Can't you put it on someone with less seniority than you?

Pat and Diane - You had too much fun without me! Man that looks like fun! And Pat on the slide, what a picture! I'm proud of you Pat!

Kat - I have to do a stress test at the end of the month, and if all goes well, I will be scheduled soon after that. I have a wedding to go to on the 8th of Sept. (I think) and I will have to book after that as I can't miss this one!

Trish - I'm so glad your mom is doing better. I'll keep you both in my prayers.

Donna - Sounds like you missed a great party!

Jessica - I still can't believe you have done so well w/o even 1 fill! You rock girl!

Elieen - Miss your smiling face this weekend! Hope you are alright!

I hope I didn't miss anyone, if I did I'm sorry! I am trying to hurry it's time to get dressed!

Later!

Sherry, I love cucumbers, my favorite veg. Have you tried the cold cucumber Soup? I thought, yuk, cold Soup, cucumber on top of that, it was delightful! I so hope we're able to meet someday.

Diane, I had to read DH your description of Friday night, you made it sound like a resort :thumbup:. It was so my pleasure having everyone here. Donna, again, we missed you. My fingers are still sore from eating the crabs, one of these days, I'll learn to use the crackers instead of my fingers.

I wish you all could have been there.

I might be going down to the beach house today, hubby had a pool house built while he was down there this weekend, but he has to match the siding up to the cottage, so he's on a mission.

Later girlies,

Hey ladies! I go to the beach for three days and I miss everything!

Betty- I'm so glad you're ok. It must be a big relief.

Kat - In what town was the Connie Mack tournament? I always associate Connie Mack with Philly. I remember when my old hometown (Ewng) hosted the world series for 13-15 years olds. They got that honor for having won the tournament themselves years before; actually, when I was that age! It was so enjoyable, and fascinating to see the level of play at such young ages.

Trish - I'm so glad your mom is doing better. I know you treasure each day with her.

Sherry - I can't wait to hear how those bread n butter pickles turn out. My SIL makes them every year and gives us some. They make my DH's mouth water!

Jessica- I'm happy you survived your first PB. I haven't had one yet. Did you know what it was right away?

Eileen- glad you made it through the big IL visit! Do you feel better about it in retrospect?

Pat- Thanks for inviting me to the pool party. I was at OBX all weekend and didn't get your message until later last night when we got home. Friends of ours met us at the house and we partied as well. I"m glad you had such a great time. I would have enjoyed picking through those burnt popcorn crabs!

Diane- I felt like I was on that liquid diet myself this past weekend. I'm doing really well with my eating, but all this partying is making me (!) consume too many liquid calories. Oh well, I'll be back at school soon so I'll have much too little time to drink then. LOL

Where are the new girls?

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Donna

Donna - I knew something wasnt good right away. It felt like something was stuck in my throat and I would get a sharp pain in my chest/back. It didnt last long but it was long enough for me to learn my lesson!! it took me 8 months to have my first PB and I dont plan on having another one!!

Hello everyone. I'm new here but I have enjoyed reading all the posts, lots of information. I'm from NJ as well, monmouth county. I have gone for my surgical consult for the lap bad and am in the middle of my 6 month monitoring by my PCP. My surgery date is scheduled for November 24th, woohoo!! My surgeon is Dr. Borao, anyone else use him? I'm so excited yet nervous as well. I so look forward to being comfortable in my own skin.

[Iluvharleys 15]

Hello Y'all!

Welcome Jaculin and congrats on your surgery date!

I hope I have some good news! The doctors office called and had a cancellation, so my stress test has been moved to tomorrow at 2:00 central time, so y'all say a little prayer that I pass it! If I pass it then I am on to my surgery!

I am getting nervous already, I hope my foot don't act out and stop me from walking.

[Jaculin412 0]

What surgery are you having?

Jackie

[SherryW 4]

[signgirl 0]

Wow Betty! They moved your stress test to tomorrow!!!!! things are movin' along now! You will have your prayer request :whatchutalkingabout

Hey there Donna, glad you're back! OBX for the weekend? That must have had "liquid diet" written all over it! LOL

Trish, things going ok for you? How are the folks doing now?

What's up with the Breakfast set-up, Sherry? Volunteering? If not, why is it on YOUR time? Sounds awfully unappreciated! Hope it goes the way you want it to though :tt2:

well,time to go...gettin' too sleepy too early!!! G'nite everybody. --
