Lucky #7 are still going strong !!!

[IndioGirl55 32]

Well the stuipid gym was closed - no Water - who in the hell needs Water to work out with weights and treadmills - just dont' use the bathrooms...

Dressed waiting for debbie -

Shopping ya sometimes I get that feeling - want want want - but I can just not love it ;0) and walk away - just like food sometimes I win and sometimes I don't

I don't do catsup anyway so it as a side - wouldn't be my forta anyway - ranch dressing and fries anyday... I'm a mustard girl for the most part and a little mayo.. Don't do too much tarte sauce just cuz of the calories -

Ya you might be melting in 85 -90 degrees - but I couldn't live in -20 degree weather at all ...

I'll take my 110 over -20 anyday...

Janet, our problem is that we LOVE everything!!! Shopping for me is like a drug, it gives me a high. So needless to say, I have to avoid it like an addict. Let me into a quilt shop and I can drop big $$$ without even thinking.

Today, I hope to get somethings organized. Didn't sleep well even though I was tired. DD#4's dog yipped at my bed off and on throughout the night. I considered deyipping him at one point. Had a chat with DD#4, she will have to lock him in her room at night.

Janet, enjoy your trip, 90+ degrees, I'd be melting by now.

Phyl, I'm still shuttering over the salmon & ketsup...Check in later, TTFN

I use WAY less catsup than I used to!

Sometimes, for fish, I mix miracle whip and catsup.... my DIL got me started on that.

Phyl - WTG on the gym - great price for all you get... It was cold here for the last couple days - windy too - today 85 then it looks like 95 and up for the rest of the week - I guess our heat has finally arrived.

How cool to see your band.. How's your back doing

Last night did a spreadsheet - annual of where I spend my $$ the problem is I don't know what I spend on my Visa - I know it included vacations (charging air/rooms etc) car repairs - clothes etc - That is my biggest expense each month - but I know I went on a cruise - canada - texas twice (feb to visit Aunt then Oct for Funeral) - used it to pay some of my bro's funeral expenses (which I was reimburse) I gotta quit pulling out my Visa..

Well need to get dress for the gym - Debbie is picking me up at 9 to go out of town shopping Moreno Valley Mall (60 miles away) Like I need to shop ;0) - I promise not to buy anything that I don't just LOVE !!!

Yeah, I'm excited about the gym thing. Best part is, it's almost as close as the distance from the RV to the pool! Well, maybe twice that far, but probably less than a mile away. Maybe a little too far to walk because I don't want to be tired when I get there! But easy scooter ride on days when it's not raining! Price is great! And I think I could add Earl for only $10 a month... but he says NO!

Back is doing okay... minor aches and pains but nothing like 3/10!! That was horrible! I'll see if I can post one of those pictures where you can see the band and the port. Pretty interesting!

A spreadsheet.... Earl would be proud of you!! LOL!

Don't know what kind of Visa you have... but our costco American Express is great.. At the end of the year you get a printout of everything you spent and what category... travel, gas, restaurants. And the rebates are good... Got a check at the end of the year for almost $350. And we can go online any time to check our balance or see where we're spending our money. Have to have a backup cc as there are places that don't take AmEx. Tracy & Jim use a card that racks up air miles.

But... yeah, it can be easy to pull out the plastic when we know we shouldn't! But.... I WILL have to check out that Moreno Valley Mall that you always talk about... next winter!!

Stupid gym!! Yeah... so put up a sign... NO WATER!!

I am using less catsup, honest. Using a lot of hummus... my latest snack.. in fact, lunch yesterday.. one rye crisp cracker, thin layer of lite cream cheese, hummus, and a little salmon on top... or... Earl bought me a can of smoked oysters... very good... put a couple of those on top. Says the whole can is one serving and fairly low calories, but so far I think I've had about 4 servings out of that can. Have enough left for one more cracker.

Weather is GREAT everywhere in the country except here! I didn't even wake up until almost 9:30 a.m.!! I planned to sleep in today.... but not THAT late!! No sun coming in the window to wake me up! it's 50 degrees outside now and showers predicted for pretty much the whole weekend I think! I did manage to squeeze in some cruising this week between the rain drops. And Earl is making me keep a big umbrella in my basket at all times! I'd walk over to the d..... Surf Shack if the weather was decent. Did it with Candice one day last week when we were walking the dogs. Bus stop/park and ride is about half way, so... can stop and rest if back/hips are hurting. Usually a few minutes sit down and the pain goes away. And I keep bugging my Surf Shack lady that she told me last summer she was going to put out a table and some chairs! She has limited space... and limited income. Doing good with her new mobile van, though. And... as she pointed out, there's a bench in front of the nearby tavern where I can sit and rest. And Tracy and I have used it a few times. They don't care. The owner is the one leasing her the space for her coffee shack.

But... to get back to the subject I was pursuing... the weather here sucks!!

Well.... Happy May Day, everyone!!

It's Tracy's 44th birthday

and we are going out to Tokyo Steakhouse with them tonight.

And it's opening day of the boating season!

Whoppee!

Big stuff going on in downtown Seattle...

in the rain, no doubt!

OH my gosh, I am several days behind and i don`t know where to begin....

Phyl, 8 by my count too. so when I gwet home I`ll send you some money by paypal...

Just left Stephanie and Jeffs this am.... we had a really great time getting yto know all her kids... Michael is a real handsome young man, the two littlw ones Nic and Jaimison are so adorable... and SMART... Nic is 5 and is reading at level that embarasses ME...lol

We went out for dinner and `clubbing`last night... sweet town.. everyone is so friendly, just feels like an extened family where ever you go.. We had a few wobbly pops, walleye fish for dinner to die for, then into the casino for poker and keno... I didn`t get the hang of keno( I always want more input than it allows ) so I learned the poker machine.... I won about $50 so was deleriously happy and bought a cool sweat-hoodie from Cassidys Bar, underneath the caption reads BIG COCK COUNYRY, Plentywood, Mt. and a big caricature of the PHEASANT!!!

Was I ever glad that i bought it, it was so freeking cold today, wet and we also had SNOW.... wtf:mad:

Camped in Minot (MY-not) dòn`t get it??? Cold here, very cold and doing laundry to keep warm... on my first Rum/coke for the day... jusyt to take the road edge off... oh it was scary again today,, bad winds...

Oh forgot to tll you aboiut Steph`s RV for her Kettle corn busomess.ééé really huge RV it sleeps like 6 or 8... massive compared to our little rig... Peter says we are selling it as soon as we get home!!! so who owes who money Janet???:thumbup:

Hopefully as we get closer to jhome we`;; get better weatjeréé.é. its been raining on us since BRITISH COLUMBIA. and Yes, Steph I am STILL wearing my duck boots!!!:laugh:

[cramerk 1]

Got some additional shelves put up in the pantry, hopefully enough to get food put away. I also put some wheels on a set of drawers so I can move it if needed in the utility room. I also got a few things moved into the storage shed, not much. I just kind of wonder around trying to figure out where to put things, Definitely ADD.

I'm suppose to be working on my masters unit and I can't seem to get to it. Quite frankly I don't care. Lousy excuse, But that is it. Need to run to the store and get the furries some food. I have to work tomorrow. Its cool and cloudy today, my type of working day. Here is how bad I am at focussing today: spent an hour separating the nails from the screws from the nuts and bolts and putting them into individual containers. Sad, but true. I think it is an avoidance technique. Well, I need to go do something check back later.

[peaches9 3]

Phyl, how wonderful, twins, that must be a bit of a shock! Should be a lot of fun!

Candce, now you get to see the flat section of Montana where I grew up.

I think the last 4 months are cachting up with me. Even with a nap last night I'm still struggle to catch up I don blink, everytime I close the eyes OI keep punching the wrong letters because I blink and the eyes stay shiut.

Well just found out my phone is shut off because DD#4 owes...$1000 to the cell phone company. She just came home and wanted me to pay it. NO WAY IN HELL. So I will take her sorry butt into the cell company, cancel the subscription, and go get my own phone and she will go with out. She has me royally pissed. She borrowed $800 from her dad, which means she must have owed close to $2000. grrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm awake now.

Holy cats, thats a lot of yacking on the freeking phone.. Giver her a THUMP in the head.... who should pay HER phone bill.... HER!! Ask her who she thinks comes along on a white horse and pays YOUR bills!!!!

[cramerk 1]

Nah Candice, that is a lot of texting outside of our network. Her phone is off and if she doesn't make payments on time they will turn the bill over to collections. Not my problem.

[IndioGirl55 32]

Hey Gang!!!

Back from my day w/debbie and her DD - Didn't buy everything I tried on - 2 pairs of carpi's 4 tops 1 sundress - Sears had great deals - burlington coat factory too -

Alot of stores are gone from the Moreno Valley Mall - Wasn't that great - I think we spent most of our time in Sears - Got a Dr Rey bra - I liked Macy's a little diff than ours... But again mall wasn't what it was 8 yrs ago

Had bf at ruby's dinner in Cabazon 2 eggs sunny side up and a few bites of tatos - then at the mall 1/2 of a bite size cinabon - it was aweful - then we had italian for dinner in banning - nice place Johnny Russo 1/2 c clam chowder ok - the top of 2 pieces of garllic bread - 1/2 italian sauage..

Candice - You owe us money - cuz both Phyl and I said that you would be getting a bigger rig ;0)

Glad you had a great time visiting Steph..

Karla - that's why I play farmville on FB so much - mindless work..

Phyl - I have a b of a visa - it doesn't do that - that would be nice cuz I do use my visa for car repairs - travel - dogs etc - it would be nice to know where the $$ went - but I did that cruise - Canada - tires - brakes - etc.. it wasn't all clothes :0)

I dont get miles or anything - I may look in to the American express..

Well gang - i'm pooped it's almost 10:30 been up since 5 - going to go veg and hit the hay shortly talk to you all in the a.m.

OH GUESS WHO I SAW AT THE MORENO VALLEY MALL - ANDREW GARCIA FROM AMERICAN IDOL - I was going outside to smoke - he was leaving the mall w/gf and kid - I saw the glasses and said - Andrew - he turned around and we shook hands and talked for a minute - cool !!!

Edited May 2, 2010 by IndioGirl55

[cramerk 1]

Janet, how cool, seeing someone from idol. I bet you made his whole day recognizing him!!

Phyl, how much do I owe for the deposit and my share? I need to check with Steph still and see when she is planning on swinging through and checking that I can have the days off. I should be okay as long as I ask now.

[IndioGirl55 32]

Good Morning Gang...

Up at 6:30 - did my farming - my latest transfer addiction - my nuts/bolts ;0) - gotta read the paper and go buy some food..

I'm flying in 7/1 leaving on the 5th.. I ck'd w/Karri - she's still coming gotta find Phyl's address and send it to her..

Belated Happy Bday to Tracy...

Ya it was neat to see someone from Idol - I saw this guy w/glasses and I just blurbed out his name like I knew him - he most likely said who's this old lady yelling Andrew.. He was w/his gf (see was on tv looke filliapeno and a little boy)

It's funny you feel like you know them - I liked him - he did need to go but he did sing ok and he did make it to the top 10 and will be on tour w/them..

Well, gotta get moving it's 8 ;0) cbl

[cramerk 1]

I'm home, quiet day. Miss molly is sitting in the middle of the livingroom chewing up a piece of bark. Huge mess and I'm ignoring it for right now.

Worked my tail off, cleaned the pond and got it ready for Mother's Day crazies, loaded all kinds of mulch and trees. Put a 400 pound pine tree into a truck with a topper. Had to crawl into the truck and push it back with my feet. Tried to electrocute myself, had shooting flames and sparks. humm, would that be workman's comp? Melted the outlet and plug, but just spooked me.

I would love to crawl in and sleep for a week, 5 more weeks....then I will have a couple of days off!!

Need some food, check in later, TTFN

[lindaa 1]

Hi everyone.

I'm online tracking Mindy's last flight to Bentonville. She's officially an Arkansawonian now. This is really hard. We're going down over Memorial Day to help with little things like hanging pictures, installing another rod in her closet and stuff like that, but for real, we are empty nesters now. I wish I could have gone with her, just to help her get settled, but I have to work--damn. The Long Islands' are numbing the pain for now. . .

Candice--looking for updates. . .

Phyl--the x-rays do not look good to me. How rediculous (sp) that you have to jump through yet more hoops!

Carla--how do you do it? Do you ever sleep? I am humbled--as usual.

Ok, so I've had too many Long Islands. . . what else is there?

[mango24 1]

Hey Everybody,

I go back to work tomorrow. I was off for a week. I don't wanna go!!!!! The students have 3 1/2wks left. It's gonna be hell for me, cause the teachers will be kicking kids out left and right.

Candice- sweatshirt is hilarious

My friend's funeral was Th. It was very sad. Her daughter is a Jr. She saw her Sat. night laying on her comp. and said Mom if your that tired go to bed. The next morning she found her the same way. They said her valve shut and didn't reopen. She had mitral valve prolaspe.

[IndioGirl55 32]

Karla - I am going to kick your ass - remember your inners :0)

Yes WC if you were at work at got injured :0) - But we don't want you injured..

Linda - Ok GF we don't know anything about Mindy moving - after the long islands wear off - tell us what's up - job I would assume ..

Being an empty nester isn't that bad - even though I still have andrew - I was an empty nester by 38 - and truly now - I come and go as I please - Andrew and I are more like room mates..

Hugs though - cuz I know how much you miss your kids..

Denise - How sad for that little girl and you too for losing a friend.. Ya I hear you on work - the only good thing is I have 4 days next week - Friday GF and I are going out of town for 2 nites...

Well dinner was turkey meat loaf - green Beans & mashed potatoes - I am full and ready for bed - never got around to coloring my hair - well there is always tomorrow :0)

[cramerk 1]

Linda, hugs, to have your baby move. I know they all have to grow up, I'm just not ready for it. Although, I'd gladly give you DD#4 right now. She is like a toothache.

Denise, was your friend a single parent? Does her daughter still have family? It has been a strange year. I've had 2 parents of students die, one was a suicide, the other a car accident. The kids seem to be holding okay, but I don't know how they do it. Heck, I'm old and still not dealing well with my dad's death. Everynight I find that I still include him in my prayers. Then the little things...dad's favorite candy was black licorice, it seems to be everywhere right now. Silly I know.

Tried scrambled eggs and 99% FF ham with some cheese. It was okay, wasn't able to eat much of it. Don't ask what I ate instead. Overtired = weakness = Ben & Jerry's .... I know, it shouldn't be in the house.

Janet, I know the innards, and they are talking right now. No one else was around. The pines are located on the opposite side of the nursery from the cash register and there was only 2 of us working. The other lady is 66, yeah, I'm really going to have her push it in.

Suppose I should get busy, want to hard boil an egg for my salad today.

DD#4 didn't come home again last night, she SAID she went to a study group for A&P, yeah right, I don't know too many study groups that last all night. She just doesn't get it, DON'T LIE. Her life seems to be one perpetual lie after another. She SO needs to grow up. I know I need to enforced some rules. I just can't seem to figure them out, lame excuse. Suggestions are welcome on what the rules should be for an almost 24 year old that is acting like a 16 year old.

Oooops.... Knew that ass-kicking was coming!! Wait until she sees the "Ben & Jerry's" post! UH OH!!!

More lashes with a wet noodle for you!

Ditto, Karla.... and I'M 66 and I would've helped you push it in! And I'm a weakling wimp!!

Turkey meat loaf sounds good! Got some Lean Cuisines at Albertson's yesterday... on sale this week for $1.88 w/Albertson's card. And if you buy 6 of them you get a free box of Skinny Cows! So I got a box of Truffles... 100 calories each, not 140 like the ice cream sandwiches.

Speaking of kicking ass, I think you need to kick that DD's ass right out of the house!! I think you need some empty nesting and she does not appreciate what she has. She is inconsiderate and takes advantage of you! Sorry... just telling you how I see it! Let her go live with her "study group"!:thumbdown::smile2::blushing:
