"Kris is a bridesmaid in a wedding this weekend and she's helping with things today, plus getting the food for the rehearsal dinner. The groom's parents don't have much money so Kris offered to provide the pizzas and other things for the meal. She's such a sweetheart."

She gets that from her mother! :cool2:

Awww, thanks, Roomie!!

Grady is finally laying down for a snooze. He was supposed to go to sleep at 3 for two hours, but only made it a half hour. I'm hoping this snooze will be a bit longer.

We just had a storm come through yet again. Strong winds and rain, but now the sun is shining again even though I hear thunder in the distance. 72 degrees. Certainly isn't a typical summer.

I tried to eat left over kabobs for lunch, but they wouldn't go down. I ended up having a little of the potato salad I made. It was yummy. My mom used to love potato salad. This batch would have made her very happy.

Off to watch NCIS and then figure out what's for dinner. We can't go out as we have Grady until 8. I'm thinking Bob might make a run to Taco Bell for some fast food.

Yeah, stuff like that makes us on the coast very nervous with hurricane season upon us! :cool2:

Hi there~

Tomorrow we are going to have a bbq at my sisters house. My youngest nephew is going into the marine corps and he leaves Sunday. I also have a neice (and her baby)that are moving to South Carolina next week because her husband is in the marine corp and she is going to be with him. I am going to miss all of them but I guess letting go is part of life. It is easy to take because I know it is the best move for all of them.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Tracy ((hugs))

Jenn-I hope you had/are having fun!

Heya girls!

Crazy day at work. Had a patient call and tell us he was bringing a guy in with something in his eye---so I set up a tray and room for a foreign body removal--kinda excited, I like the gory stuff! He gets there, and he has part of a tree sticking out of his head! He had a small limb, large twig, whatever---embedded in his eye socket! But it had not penetrated the eye ball itself, but was holding it open, and was beyond wierd looking! He was walking with a metal detector trying to find his septic lines, and walked into a tree limb! Our office is around the corner from the hospital, so we sent him with the Dr. to the ER!

Then we are behind schedule, so this afternoon a regular patient comes in and she says she began seeing flashes of light, and dark spots, and now it is black mostly like a page has been turned down on her vision. Sure enough she has a detaching retina. The Dr. is telling her how it is good she come right in, as the quicker it is caught the better the reattachment success is. Then she tells us, well it happen this morning, but I had women coming for bridge, and finally it began bugging me so bad I had to tell them and quit, and they insisted I come in. HELLO??? where is your brain???? That threw us further behind. I was supposed to be off at 2, and it was actually 4!

Rick is still not home tho, so it could be worse.

Back when my DD was married to the E-tech at Rick's place of work, he told us to avoid their direct deposit, that he is always hearing of them ripping people off. So we had always relied on paper checks---in person. Well that is no longer an option, it is direct deposit, or the debit card. So we went with direct deposit. I log on to the bank account this morning to check if it hit....and there was a part of his check......they paid him for 21 hours. He worked 41 and then had a 40 hour week of vacation.....but they only paid him for 21......why? no one knows yet, it is being looked into to see where the problem is, but it will likely just come in on his next check. BS direct deposit the right amount----we are expecting 80+ hours and got 21......I have managed to stay out of the savings for months now....for this! GRRRRR

Guess I will go find something to make for dinner. Was hoping Rick would get home in time to go out, but that is looking less and less likely....waaaaah!

See y'all in a while....yeah there is a space there--you know what a while is!!! Just longer than a bit!

Our summer has been unusually cool too... global warming?!

I am gassy and tummy upset, and for once in his life Russ won't put his dang headphones on so I can rip em and blame it on the dog.

Just put Carson down for the night.

Haydee I'm so excited for you, when we planned last minute to do the wedding I had JUST missed the bridal fair, I have friends who model in it, they sound like a blast, I know you're going to have SO MUCH FUN!! Make sure to send me plenty o' pics.

[Teachlady 3]

Yup.. global warming. The polar ice cap is melting at an extreme rate and that warms the oceans which alters the current system in the Atlantic ocean. Even one degree of difference will cause some places to get arid, some to get colder, some warmer and some islands in the pacific will disappear. It has nothing to do with the day to day temperatures.

Grady has gone for the day, but I'll have him for during the wedding tomorrow. Then we head to a cook out at friends. He was pretty good today. Just had one crying jag when he got overtired. He finally took a two hour nap and that was appreciated! He loves to sit on my lap outside so we did that for a long time today.

Off to bed soon. I didn't get to sleep until 2 this morning and don't want to do that again.

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

Hey girlies~

The movie, The Orphan, was AWESOME! Not only did I really enjoy it, I recommend it (for those who like those kind of movies). Not cheesy, great story, shocking ending...VERY GOOD!

Then we went swimming for 2 hours, then went to eat (Jenny was with us all day). Had fun!

Everyone have a great weekend!

xoxoxoxo

Good evening.

Laura, I think I will try to send it to you. Thanks!!!

I still think it is soo funny.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I talked to the mailman today about your koozie Tracy, and he said normally it takes 2 to 3 weeks, but since it was out of town, and in the summer (vacations), it might take longer. So I will give it another week or two.

When do the kids (Michelle, Jennifer, Tracyk, Tracyks) start back to school, what about you Pamela?

I can't believe I am even saying that. School here never started til after labor day, but this year Webster has changed it to three weeks before. So our school year is a little messed up this year, with school going into June and starting in mid August. Next year will be better because they will end in May.

I think I am rambling again!!

[Kat817 19]

Hey rambling Jane!!! Can you check on the price for that lotion you sent me so I can get you a check off and get some! Please! Keep the weight in mind so I can afford to get it here! LOL I love that stuff!

BB--Rick is finally getting home....

[Suziecat 379]

Just stopping in for a quick check.

I'm tired and irritable(sp?). Long day and I'm ready for bed and my family is getting on my last nerve right now.

Chat with you tomorrow. Night.

[Teachlady 3]

Good morning, Violets..

Another ton of rain last night. I don't have to Water any of my plants today. I see a hint of the sun, but it's 64 degrees and only supposed to get up to 70 today. No heater in the pool yet so it sits there unusable. The pool guys are involved in fishing during the Brown Trout festival here so they won't be out until next week sometime... hopefully!!

Grady comes at noon for a couple of hours while his mom and dad go to a wedding. Then he's going to his other gramma and grampa during the reception while Bob and I go out to a cook out.

Not much else on the agenda.

I have a new grandpup. DS Josh and family got a dog from the humane society. He's part boxer, part terrier and is named Charlie Brown Case. He was taken from his owner because he was being beaten, so he's scared of loud noises, but is very good with the kids and they just love him.

Off to fix my Breakfast. Everyone have a great day and be good to yourselves.

[TracyK 3]

Good morning everyone~

Have a great Saturday!! (((hugs)))

Good morning everyone

I am back, got back late Thursday and yesterday was just crazy

Tracyks- i'm so sorry for what you are dealing with

Tracyk -i am up 3lbs after this week and i don't know why, i hardly ate anything and walked everywhere. I am getting ready for my big walk before it gets too hot, and Monday i'm heading back to the gym.

I had a great time, had 1 really nice beach day, went shopping, lunch, gamble, got a new tattoo... left with $400 and came home with $400 after doing all that so I am very pleased. I am using my money to take my dd and her friend (7 of us total) to dinner on Friday night for her birthday, which i was going to do, but is going to be $250 easy so now it is paid for... nice.

i'll get pics of my new tattoo later and post them, it is on the back of my neck and is a moom and stars

ok i'm off to get ready for my day, going to do something productive.
