Good Morning Everyone!!

Is anybody out there???????????????????? I don't want anyone to miss this announcement!!!!!

The vote is for French Lick Resort in 2005 so that means we now have to decide on the WHEN.

Since the resort has so many things to do it may be good for us to go early spring like now. The prices may be better off season but I don't know for sure .

SO, let's hear from everyone on the WHEN. This is no doubt going to take us the longest to decide.

HI Gang,

Sorry ive benn MIA, I hope everyone is doing well :)

I stalled on the SBD, didnt gain, dint lose... I need to get off the couch and add some treadmill time to my woe :)

That may be easier to do soon too, I have an interview for a team leader position at the hospital, and wouldnt ya know they are right across the hall from the gym! If I get this job I wont have any excuse not to go. Its also days, and I would be happy to say goodbye to the graveyard shift.

I need to catch up and do a little reading on the threads :)

I cant wait to see all the banter building up to French Lick. I'll have to do one for the guys :) 18 holes of golf and a steak > day spa /chuckle.

Have a great day all!

John

Hi all, Nice white fluffy snow here, hope it goes away soon I want to play some golf! :) Jen, I get tired of eggs too but I work nights so for breaky I can eat lunch or dinner meals too. If you like smoothies you can add some soft tofu to them and also use soy milk. I know that may sound horrible, but you really cant tell and all you end up with is a nice fruity creamy drink. Im not sure which Woe you are on, so you may have to adjust the other ingredients as well. They sell all kinds of soft tofu, even some low or no fat ones. Many cultures eat fish for their morning meal, so you could go that way too! ;) Amy - Im glad your having fun in game, and including your art work as well, how fun! Patti- Sorry the struggle continues, sometimes they are so darn stubborn and cheap! I hope things work out for you and Dave. BJ - sorry your swamped, watch out for the gators! Gretchen - I agree the superbowl really isnt a family event, but they sure try dont they. I have no idea why people who dont watch football all year would care to see it. It would be like watching the season finale of a sitcom you havent seen all year.. I didnt get to see Janets assests, but she looks too much like Michael now anyhow so it would of just been freaky! Besh - Hope you enjoyed Pats day! NHSuz - saw this clip and I thought you may get a laugh out of it. have a super day all, im 2 days into the SB diet and WoE is me!

Rabbit Rabbit - one day I will be the first! Happy August, can you believe it?? Happy Birthday John - hope it was fabulous! Check in, we miss you!! QOD #1: I am the biggest klutz you will ever meet. I am always sporting large and strange bruises that I have no idea where they came from. I can trip over absolutely nothing. QOD: Going in to work to try and catch up, it's been totally crazy and I am overwhelmed and behind. I hate both of those feelings. Raeanne, I am so thrilled about your artwork. I can't wait to see the pictures when Marci posts them. We had some very fierce rip tides a week or two back, many people at the beach in distress. So many don't understand and respect that ocean. Suzanne, glad you are out of your funk. I'm glad you remembered Raeanne's words - they are great. I offered no help at all did I? I hate feeling that way. I will check out that polenta recipe, I love polenta. Dee, it's tough cleaning out your childhood home. It was different than your circumstances but when my parents moved 8 years ago I had to help them do it and it was difficult. ((Hugs)) I thought that stupid separating recycling was Jersey thing too. Enjoy the shore - we locals know those who aren't because they always refer to it as the "shore" which we never do :-) A guy from PA that I dated moved to NJ and asked me how he could not be identified as a "shoobie." I told him for starters stop calling the beach and the area the shore. Seriously, have a great time, I think most of the weekend is supposed to be nice. Peg, enjoy your long weekend. My American calendar only tells me it's a Canadian civic holiday - is there more to it? You are a good person to help out your friend, I know he appreciates it. A co-worker today gave me a humungous zucchini - any suggestions on how to prepare it? I adore zucchini but am interested in something different...any and all suggestions welcome! I want to have it tomorrow night, we are grilling a gorgeous steak. Milkdud, you are doing so well with your weight and your working out, I admire you. Marci, thank you for the gifs, posting of pics and all that you do for us. Are you looking forward to going back to school??? Patti - hi!!! Hi to all I might have missed. Will check in over the weekend. Everyone have a safe and happy weekend! Donna

Raeanne~LOL Another OC! Dave told his DM about me & she just looked at me like I had 3 heads. tee hee It was kinda funny really. Marci~Glad that you took time to post. We have such a small apartment that we put out a 24" or 36" tree. I had put that Dave was planning to put it up but I looked & he has already done that little job. It already has lights on it~the fiber optic kind. We have it on an end table & put any gifts, if we have any, on the floor. Lynn~Good for DH! I'm sure that you feel so good with the satisfaction of knowing that your tree is different this year. Tikanis~I wish that you lived closer & you could cook for us! I think that we would both, Dave & me, be healthier if you were cooking for us. You always have the best sounding menus when you post them. I hope & know that DS appreciated what you gave him. I remember us doing that for both of our DSs too. We furnished both of them with a house full of stuff. I have a proud feeling when I go there & see them displaying some of the things that we gave them. Even DS#1 & DDIL have a towel with his last initial of "H" displayed & a cross that we gave them & a cross-stitch thing that I did for their wedding. Then there is crazy blanket that I gave DS#1 when he moved out that he uses in the guest room. I guess that I really ought to buy him another one but it won't be this year b/c we already have something bought. NH Suzanne~We are on a guest list from Dillard's every year so we go & look at what they have. They have punch & goodies & Dave has asked to take me out first before we go so we'll be going to that tomorrow night. It is usually pretty crowded but we normally have a very good time. This year we will just be looking mainly b/c we have all the gifts done. I will probably look for a thing or two for Dave. But we are going in together this year to buy a bigger gift for each other. We had been going all week so I took today off to do nothing & I mean that literally. LOL Maddie~The "Lion King" is playing here now. I would love to go. The 23rd is all right with me. I don't hear from Happyto but I think that it is mainly b/c we have both changed E-mail addys & just lost touch that way. Bummer!! She was such a nice lady. Milkdud~I'm going to check on you & see if you are lurking! How is your grandbaby? I may have to put you in the spot of checking up on mine until she can talk on the phone to me. LOL She does at least coo. It makes me feel so good. Well, BJ, I hope that you are having better weather & that you will be able to join us soon. Your sisters will be here for you when you are ready. Dee~You package was sent in the mail yesterday so let me know when you get it & if it gets there in one piece. Love to all~Patti :)

Hi guys, Thanks for the preliminaries. I am really trying to be unbiased on this, but it's hard! He IS envious of college kids' carefree, no strings life. Each time we attend a college get-together, he mentions that. I trust him with his own time and am not worried about him being inappropriate with other people, so a tryst is not an issue here. Our discussion Thursday is just between us, no counselor. We're usually able, after attending many counseling session over the past 2 years, to get these things worked out---fortunately. Sometimes, though, it takes a few nights of conversations. We use this formula: A prediscussion, where we let the other person know the topic we want to talk about, so they can be prepared. We set a date 2 days from that day to talk. It helps us analyze our feelings toward the topic. When we meet, we establish the topic and write it down, so we stick with it! One of our problems used to be adding other issues into the mix---no more! Then we reveal our emotional attachments, insecurities, and fears about the topic. Then we respond to each other's response to the above, just to help them understand that WE understand the hot, underlying issues. We don't interrupt each other while we are stating our feelings and wants regarding the topic. During the discussion, we remain sensitive to our partner's trigger times and remain aware that either of us can stop the discussion at any time and we can begin again in 2 days. And lastly, we stay realistic, knowing that it may take more than one session to solve the problem. This formula has worked really well for us. We very seldom have any simmering issues building resentment under the surface of our relationship. It's nice to be able to bring things out in the open, even if they are controversial. it's not always a comfortable conversation, but afterward, we are both relieved about the openess and ability to talk. __________________ It's raining cat and dogs here! The freeways are messy, but not too bad, as it appears people are giving themselves extra time to complete their commutes. I am still on track with eating, however, my sleep has been restless as of late---I wonder why???---lol. I am helping a friend get hay today after I get the older kids off to school. Then I am heading over to photograph my friend who is preggers with twins. Her 36th week is next week and she is about to have the babies, so we want to get a photo of her body, while it's heavy with love! I am bring a beautiful, full length burgundy stretchy dress for her to wear. I also am loading up my big Malabar wicker chair for her to stand by or sit in, along with a sheer cabana net to hang from a tree and drape around the scene for background. It ought to be fun and my kids will play with hers while we work on getting something pleasing. Then it's off to the market (more veggies and fruit) and then to the barn for older DD's gaming lessons. Hope you all are getting through the week with no worries! Friday's coming!!!!!! Thanks for the insight to my issues with DH. I welcome any additions to the discussions.

NH Suzanne - I like early spring too, I like to vacation off season - less crowded and better rates.

John - keeping my fingers crossed for you on the job interview. No excuses with a gym that close.

Now I am off to check out Grover.

Hi all!

Guess who I had dinner with Saturday night?? Our own KYSusie! She is just so beautiful--inside and out, and that was one of the nicest nights I've had for a long time!! :) She called on Friday afternoon to go for dinner, but I was out carousing with GFs from work, so on Saturday, we hooked up, and had a blast. We went to a Mary Kay seminar in downtown Louisville, and ladies--she's got her red jacket, and is doing great! She looks so relaxed and happy--:):) she is a doll, and I am soooo glad to finally see her again. She's excited about French Lick next year, and I can hardly wait too! :)

Good weekend (obviously!!), but it was just too short--we were working on projects, and time just flew--I'll see if I can get Rog to put them up on a page somewhere to show off what we did on Sunday--

Sorry this is quick--boss is lurking--

Hugs,

Maddie

PS--as of last Friday, I am down 20 pounds since early/mid January--WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

Maddie - I am so glad that you and KY Susie got together - was that a total surprise or what? Sounds like you had a nice visit together YIPPPPEEEEE.

BJ - WHERE ARE YOU??? I worry when you don't post.

NH Suzanne - my work schedule can be flexible, so I will work around everyone else's schedule with picking a date for 2005. I do like early spring though. Are you nearing a deadline soon? It seems like they roll around very quick.

My day off and I cleaned out a bookcase and reorganized a little and am doing some laundry. We are expecting about 10" of snow today, so I am going to make a vegetable chowder for dinner.

I am flexible too. I just need to be sure that I am not in the middle of a deadline or it will be NO GO. My deadlines usually fall in the last week of one month into the beginning of the next. SO, usually the beginnig of a month is good for me. This I will have to play by ear. I think this time of year would be great as we are all tired of winter and the weather is about to break.

Good morning!

Well, before anyone gets too happy--it's snowing here and 33. This area's weather can change in a heartbeat, and I've seen it snow on Derby Day (the 1st Saturday in May). Mid/late April is always nice, and the trees and flowering bushes are out (or starting to) by then. Just thinking outloud here, but just the thought of youse guys being here for Derby. Actually, the day prior is more fun--less crowded and less expensive. We could get gaudy hats, and go sit in the infield and drink (purely aweful) Mint Juleps, and see if we can get a glimpse of a horse as it goes by. And then spend Derby Day at the spa. (I know--logistically almost impossible, but fun to wish!)

NHSuzanne--the Lippanzers are coming to Louisville this weekend, and I am trying to convince Rog to go--I wish you were here--I'd have a buddy to go with! :)

Gotta go--a huge, ugly project is hanging over me like the sword of Damacles--

Hugs,

Maddie

Maddie, don't tell Rog where you are taking him. He will enjoy it so much he won't even believe it. I just got them, (White Stallion Productions), as a client! They are running thier first ad in our April issue. I have been trying for a year to get them in. DO NOT NOT GO, DO NOT MISS IT.

I am up for almost any month providing I am not in deadline. It has snowed here in June! So weather never surprises me.

Hi Guys,

Sorry I haven't been here---I'm getting so far behind in my HOT pile of issues and items that I'm getting bummed out. So much going on: permits, contractors, law suits, school changes and registrations for the 4 kidlets, a bday party to plan, in-laws coming for a week next Wed, etc, etc, and then all the regular stuff. There's no "me" time left! I feel like hitting the first bar on the right!---lol!

Anyway, I just have to prioritize and start ticking off the list. Plus, I feel like a goofball because I haven't had time to read and catch up here.

Where the heck does the time go? Well, that's my rant. I gotta go through this stack of crap in my office or it's gonna LANDSLIDE on me! Raeanne, I'm still doing laundry!

My DD was in a science competition on Saturday and she took a second place medal in chemistry (identifying 12 white substances) and a second in the lifting device competition. She took nothing in flight, but no worries; she took it well. That took up most of the weekend.

Wednesday night, I'm going to REI and I'm getting a new bike---a cruiser bike that sits me nearly upright. Then, I'm going to bike, bike, bike! I really can't wait.

DeeMarie and Maddie~ Congrats on the staying in the loser side of things! Wow!!! That's terrific!

I love St. Paddy's day--my bio mom is/was supposed to be Irish/French, so with what little I have to go on, I take it and have fun. My heart-adopted mom (Mary) is very Irish, so I claim it from that way, too! :)

Cold here, and spitting snow--but it's supposed to be nice this weekend--yeah!! :)

BJ--I can not drink (well--at least I'm not supposed to), but I've seriously thought about taking up a new hobby--and *that* would be it!!! LOL!!! (((((((hugs)))))))

Not much going on here--swamped with a horrible project--

Where's Amy and other MIAs? Does anyone hear form Zig anymore?

I am sooooo bummmmmed!!!!! Bette Midler was cancelled tonight and will not be rescheduled! You don't know how much I was looking forward to this. The one time we get excellent seats. I had my leather skirt out and ready to go.

BJ - I am glad we don't live closer today, because I would hit that first bar on the right too!

Maddie - I haven't heard from Zig, but when we decide on a date for 2005 I will contact her.

I better get back to work.

Good Morning All,

Raeanne, I am sorry that you didn't get to see Bette. That is a bummer. Maybe you can catch her somewhere else this year.

BJ, I hope the load gets lighter soon. What a busy lady.

I am off this morning to Virgina for a horse show until next week. I doubt that I will have an opportunity to check in but if I can I will. I hope the weather is nice and that maybe there are bulbs coming up or something spring like.

We haven't gotten much input on the WHEN of our trip. I guess we do have some time to figure that out but we should be at least looking at our calenders. If we make a date early other things will have to get scheduled around our trip..............that makes sense to me.

See you when I get back.

Gotta run, going down to Saratoga today with DH, he needs a haircut and I want to hit some stores.

Hi Guys:
John - Count me in on the "guys" weekend too. You know how I love golf and a steak!!!!
Patti - glad to hear you got your parcel, hope it was all in one piece. Just in case I'm not back on the 20th. Happy, Happy Birthday.
French Licks - still get a kick out of the name (but my DD likes it more) - I have no preference, I will fly out of Detroit to where ever this place is located.
Keep your fingers crossed, just finished all the boob crunching and ultrasound. Hoping the lump in right one proves to be "nothing". Will report in. Liver lesions are being left alone, aparently nothing to worry about. MRI on liver showed the lesion in the breast. Not sure if I told you about this, but thought I'd better let you all know what's happening. (John, too much info I know)

DH has now found the "right" fit yet for a job. Hopefully something will come along soon as he is driving everyone nuts. (but the meals are fabulous). He is cooking completely SS and have all trimmed down some. (He's only 158 lbs., so he really doesn't need to be trimmed)

I have to figure out how to send pictures so they can be posted, is it Marci who is taking care of that?

I'll check in later.
Take care

Better run.
