Good Morning everyone!

Marici, I love those cute gifs! I'm also glad it's not Easter weekend; I just do NOT have the time. LOL

Suzanne, glad you are taking in all that wonderful H2O!!! Stay off the caffeine and relax with a cup of decaf. Things will work out for you.

Please hold some positive thoughts for my DH and family. His uncle passed away yesterday. The man was remarkable to say the least. He has been crippled with Lou Gehrigs (sp?) disease for over 20 years; living the same way as Christopher Reeve. However, there has not been a time when I have not seen him smile, or beg to have a baby put on his lap, or inquire about someone else's health. He was always one of the first to accept an invitation---anywhere. We always remembered to have electricity for Uncle Steve's chair. In the end, it was a cancerous tumor that took his life---ironic, because the doctors were so amazed that he lived so long. His wife took such good care of him (at home!) for all those years; never even a bedsore! An amazing family and I will miss him and the inspiration he gave me and DH. So instead of being sad (as I was last night), I've decided to celebrate his life by sharing his life with all of you! A hard-working, compassionate wife, three successful children, four lovely grandchildren, and a legacy that life is what you make it!!!!!

Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

Hi all! Welcome, Debi! :):) Patti & Dave, CONGRATS on your DGD! How exciting! :) Tikanas, we sell Derby related jewelry and we make rhinestone encrusted sunglasses to custom match the lady's Derby attire. Lot's of fun, and I get to see some spectacular clothes! :) How did the treatment go today? Shoes. Oh, my. I have such a shoe fetish! Unfortunately, my feet are short and wide (kinda like me!! LOL), so most shoes do not look good on me. Doesn't stop me from wandering and drooling in the shoe department though. I tried on a $850 pair of Stuart Weizman (sp) last year (Derby shoes), and as I stood there in them, I wondered just what exactly one would wear with them. Which then brought the thought of what car you'd have to step out with them on (Mercedes? Jag? what?). Would I actually *walk* in them? That would be no, and then I'd hafta hire some hottie to carry me around all day. And then another one to fan me, and yet another hottie to feed me grapes. So, I figured after all of that, the shoes would actually cost me about $110,850. LOL! I do love my shoes! :) Things are the same here--yesterday was MIL's birthday and she was sooooooo sick (insert **much** eyerolling here) that she couldn't get up from the couch to take Rog's cal to her. (Yes, I know I sound heartless, but I have little sympathy for someone with the means and insurance to go to any doctor/hospital in the world, but would rather play the marytr part and sit and whine.) Where's Amy?? Gretchen? Happyto? (I've come to the conclusion that BJ actually did win the lottery and has ran away. On a serious note, I do know that her dad was under the weather for a while, so I hope there is nothing bad with him that's keeping her away.) Zig--*only* if a stapler was involved!!! LMAO! Speaking of chicken (I am *truly* sick for attempting this), I am making chicken cacatorrie (sp) on Sunday. I watch Giada on Everyday Italian on FoodTV, and this just looks so good! (And yes, for inquiring minds, I do have my heavy duty carpet stapler handy, should it be required. That, and the # of the local take-out joint if I screw this up! LOL) Hugs, Maddie

I'm here too, but mired in laundry and flyers for two mailings that I am labeling for my sister. I tried Pilates for the first time last week and I like it a lot. Now that isn't saying that I am good at it, but I feel like I can improve with time and I definitely think I will see a difference in my muscle tone. I am still going to Curves 3 times a week and walking 2 miles whenever I get the chance. I feel in control of my exercise and for the most part, I feel in control of my eating. I had to get weighed when I went for my checkup a few weeks ago and I wasn't happy with the number on the scale. But I do have to remember that I have gained muscle from Curves and muscle weighs more than fat. But from the way my clothes fit, I was surprised that the number on the scale wasn't lower. I guess that just proves that the scale isn't always the best measure of success. Mentally I felt exhaused last week. Too many phone calls and events that upset me and I couldn't shake that uneasy feeling that life was spiraling out of control. But this is a new week and I am hoping life doesn't hold any more surprises (at least unpleasant surprises) for me this week. I only have to work 3 days and then I get 5 days off. April is full of fun activities at school (field trips, ventriloquist, pony rides, etc.). I think April will fly and that means that summer will be here before I know it. Jen - I am glad the doctor's have found the reason for Erica's continued illnesses. Used to be every one got their tonsils out. But I think doctor's are more cautious these days. We are dealing with the Rota virus at preschool right now. Last week we only had 6 kids in our T-TH afternoon class. The 6 girls had a blast. We relaxed the rules a bit and let them play longer, choose whatever table they wanted to sit at and they got 2 snacks instead of one. But I am hoping everyone is healthy and ready to return on Tuesday, since that is their Easter party. DeeMarie - I don't know if I offered congratulations on your success with WW. WooHoo!!!!! I can feel your excitement and determination coming right through the computer screen! Keep up the good work. NHSuzanne - I am tired just thinking of hefting 100 bales of hay! I walked 2 miles today and did 20 minutes of Pilates then had to sit down and rest! Hope you are learning lots at your class today. BJ - When are you getting that computer fixed?? We miss you. Besh - We haven't heard much from you lately. Read any good books lately? Gretchen - What is the news on the sale of the company. Have you worked out the financial details yet? Raeanne - Pictures! We want pictures of your latest vacation for the album. Amy - Do you want me to include Heather's picture in the SS album? She is a fine looking cat. Speaking of the album, I was fooling around with my new scanner and I added a few new pictures to the album. Patti - I am stilling wondering where you are. Did you get my last email about scanning the photos? Joanne - Check in and let us know how you are feeling. SusieQ - We haven't heard from you in awhile. How was your DD's recital. If you have pictures you want in the SS album, let me know. Just sent me an email by clicking on My Page. Maddie - I loved the sound of your new "do". My stylist wanted me to consider highlights the last time I was there. But I have never colored my hair and I told her I had to think about it. She said that what she had in mind would be subtle and would grow out if I didn't want to continue. So I am thinking of trying it for the summer. Chris - How is tax season going? I don't have my apolloniazoo email anymore, so if you want to email me, just click on My Page. Are you still going to Curves? John - How is the job situation? Anymore interesting interviews? Well, I need to go marinate some chicken for dinner and slap on some more labels. Later, Marci

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

DeeMarie - prayers and love being sent to your DH's uncle and your entire family and of course YOU.

NH Suzanne - Don't hyperventilate LOL. A ride on SP this weekend will de-stress you! I think that should be Dr.'s orders for you.

I gotta go, had some computer training this AM (my day off) and now I have a much overdue manicure - the girl is going to LOL when she gets a look at my hands.

I have to pack tonight, because tomorrow will be a busy day for me.

BJ - I am still waiting to hear a shout out from you.

Raeanne, I will try to take your advice doc LOL but it ain't going to be easy. My day has been filled with rejections that I won't recognize yes when I hear it! It's been a strange month for eveyone here so I don't feel totally alone. It's hard to predict why. I hope you have a marvelous time. You certainly are getting around these days.

BJ, I need to hear from you too and get your address................give us a shout woman!!

Deemarie, What a beautiful tribute. He must have been an incredible man. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.

NH Suzanne, Good luck.

I am hoping by Easter, that I will fit back into a certain pair of pants that I bought before I got prego. I will try my best!

Better run,

Hi Everyone: Wow, thought I'd slept through Easter when I checked in.

Wow, so much happening in everyone's lives - trips, business's to buy - exciting times.

No news here, same old, same old. This is when I'm glad I don't own a gun, DH is driving me insane. Either the weather needs to break so he can golf, or he really has to find a job soon, or I'm sending him to my brother in Florida.

Going to my second funeral in 10 days. Seems all my old school friends Mom's are passing on. They are all in the 80-85 year bracket and it does seem to go in waves.

Terrible way to keep in touch with old friends.
Take care and everyone have a great weekend.

HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!

Joanne, hang in there...no need to do anything drastic yet. I hear the weather is going to improve, so your DH should be occupied. LOL!

Raeanne, HAVE FUN IN MEXICO!!!!! We want to see some bawdy pictures?

BJ, where ya been?

Maddie, thanks for the pics of the sunglasses....really cute. Will they be on the website? Haven't looked in a while. Wanted to get a slot machine label pin for a friend, and I think I asked already. Please let me know if they are coming in, OK?

Jen, good luck fitting into those pants. I'm holding out buying anything new until I make sure that this is the real thing! I was desparately in need of new clothes last summer, so if I'm a wee bit smaller, it will be great fun shopping!

Gotta run to a meeting. Tonight and tomorrow, DH and I will be busy with wakes and funeral.

Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

I'm here, but I am mired in taxes!! I spent the day yesterday researching and buying a new printer and today I am doing my taxes. State is done, local is done and I am taking a break from Federal.

It is beautiful here today. I DON'T want to be indoors doing paper work all day, but I needed a break. If I can get done before lunch, I will have the rest of the day to play. (After I finish laundry, pay bills and straighten up! LOL)

I bought a Winsor Pilates tape and mat yesterday. I have been having back aches lately and someone at Curves suggested Pilates. I know my aches are from bending over little ones all day. Some days I feel like I just can't straighten up. I am hoping that Pilates helps.

My new printer is a MFP - a scanner, a copier and a printer all in one. I printed out some pictures I had taken on my digital camera and they came out great. I needed to make a copy of a receipt for a rebate and voila - I had a copy. I have to play around with scanning photos now and see how that works. I think I got a great deal for my $$$.

(((HUGS))) for all those that need them. I know I missed some important events last week, but I just don't know where the time went. I was never so glad to see Friday come. The kids were wound up, we had a sub all week for Beth and I just didn't feel up to par. I am hoping that this week gets off to a better start.

I think we all should have gone with Raeanne to Cancun!!! I could use some R&R.

Now I have to hang up a load of laundry and locate some papers for taxes.
Later,
Marci

Hi Marci, Maddie, and NHSuzanne. Marci, the printer sounds like fun. I love new gadgets that work. I'm working on painting and writing today. I think I'll put up a picture of Heather today.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Yesterday, we were at the funeral and repast, so I had no time to even check my e;mails.

Hope everyone is ready for Monday! I'm enjoying some sun here in 'Jersey. We finally got to take down the holiday lights off the house! Most of the neighbors were outside doing the same thing...it's finally warm enough for DH to get up on the roof!

Amy, good to see you post.

BJ, hope you are with us again soon!

Maddie, take a nap! :-)

Raeanne, hope you are enjoying the first of many cool drinks by the water while I'm writing this. LOL
Wish me luck...DH agreed to speak with the house painter I called. He's coming tomorrow evening...I think he's gonna agree to have it done professionally. That's not all...I'm on the computer to find the phone number of a landscaper that our neighbor just gave us. DH is biting the bullet and farming this chore out also. Happy days!!!!

Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

Here are a couple of pictures. The first is of Heather. Everyone expects her to be light colored because of her name, but I think you have seen her before.

Here is a link that might be useful: Heather
