My weekend was fabulous. We had wonderful weather, and DH and I spent some quality time together in the yard, running errands, dining out with friends. Really good times.

Hope everyone is feeling OK!
Take care, eat healthy, and NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

Hi guys! I had the flu all last week so I'm not caught up on what went on around here. I'll have to try to get that done tomorrow. I meant to do it today but I've been so tired that when I stop, I fall asleep & every being of my body hurts! Shout out to all! Hope each has a good week! Patti :)

Where do I start? Yes I am very busy. The weekend was a HUGE success. We have to have one girls! I cannot wait to have one with all of us. I have just been friends with these ladies since Aug. & have met 4 of them. I have only met 2 of you IRL. Yes, I've talked to many more over the phone & seen many pics but then I've seen many pics of my other friends too. Especially since it is scrapbooking. LOL We did some shopping, went out to eat, let the kiddos swim at the waterpark, took lots of pics, did a little sleeping, and generally enjoyed each other's company. Dave came & spent a little time on Sunday too. He already knew 2 of the women so he met the 3rd one. This is a busy month of birthdays for us. So I've been busy doing birthday cards, pages about our adventures, sympathy cards, Mother's Day cards, and such. We've had trips to the commissary, VA, & tomorrow the Renaissance Fair on top of visiting the friend who had his cancer surgery & is in the hospital. We had the resident's association meeting, quilting show, shopping with the girls, & I'm organizing still. So that's been my week. Milkdud~[[[[Larry]]]] Hope you get good news. Glad you are staying so busy & that you are enjoying TOPS so much. My Mom's sis did that with great success for a while. NH Suzanne~Love hearing about the BB. We have had so many birds here this winter. I thought perhaps it was b/c we are so much colder than normal. Many, many more nests it has seemed to us. This would be the ______ in particular that I'm speaking of. If I don't think of it, I'll have to ask Dave what I'm trying to think of. He is off doing clothes right now. BJ~I hope you enjoy your time off the island & that you have better luck with the house this time. Can't wait to hear about Baby V. Little Sweetie Pie deserves to have a good home. Raeanne~The art show sounds divine. I can't wait to see the pics. I know Dave will be interested too especially since it is the Adironack chairs. Wodka~I'm thrilled you are going to Chicago. I've only been in the airport. It was cold. LOL I had to do a 4 hour layover from Orlando to Dallas. IDK, doesn't make sense to me? I know it is a little late but I always take out the honey, lemon, & tea when my throat is hurting. That seems to take care of it right away. Besh~Glad Zoe is doing well. Shopping, yes!! Fun, fun, fun. Well, I hope you have a great weekend. My friend is supposed to take pics of her friend having a baby & she is being checked by the dr so we may have to wait until Sunday to go to the Ren Fest but whenever we go, it will be a great time. Have a good one! Patti :-) Gretchen~I never did hear back from you so should I gather that you decided not to be part of the un-birthday group?

Good Morning. I have caught up on the posts and need to get an address for Jen. I e-mailed her via this site, but have gotten no response. I have her in the b-day exchange and I need to send her a package. NH Suzanne - big HUGS for you. I hope DH snaps out of it. Sounds like you have the best therapy for it all....taking a ride on our favorite horse...Sweet Pea. I have be MIA...sorry. I have had 4 teenagers in the house for the last week and a half. It has been very trying for us as DH and I are not used to kids. It is fun, exhausting and expensive. We have been boating this weekend and my neice got a nasty sunburn. A blister has formed on her back about the size of a quarter. I feel bad, but I witnessed all the sunblock being applied, so I guess it comes with the territory being in florida and all. We have them for three more days so I will post agin later.... two of them just got up, so breakfast duty calls.

OPh my. I go away for a couple of days, and Raeanne and Suzanne start the French Lick party without me! LOL! For everyone's infomation, all 3 of mine are the truths! (JK!!!LMAO!) I guess Suzanne is # 3 Raeanne is # 2 Well, it is a quiet Saturday night here. Rog went to bed early, and I'm watching Flashdance, and thinking OMG--did I ever really wear torn sweatshirts?? (yep.) I think that's why I love to watch old(er) movies--for just a second, I am back to an age where there wasn't any major problems, and I still believed all people were good, and the whole world was open for the taking. :):) OK--advice needed--mom keeps wanting me to come over and watch some 2+ hours, B&W, 1940 movie with who-knows in it (I've never heard of them). At the risk of sounding like a cold-hearted @#!^%, I have NO (none, el zilcho, nada) desire to do this--heck, I don't even have the time to watch what I actually want to watch, much less this thing. Now, I know how important spending time with her and dad is, and I enjoy just sitting around yapping, but our choices of movies are a complete 180. The last time I got coerced into this, I pr@yed to die of boredom, and then fell asleep. It was a truly aweful movie, and part of me resents being guilted into this. We're fixing Christmas dinner for Christmas Eve to take over, before we go to Midnight services, and mom brought up this d@mned movie again. Gawd, I'll watch it, but I'd rather be sh0t--any suggestions? (I really am not being cold, I would just rather sit around and talk--and she knows this.) Anyhoo--hope this finds everone well! When are we going to reveal the truths? Hugs, Maddie PS--Suzanne, I got your package yesterday, but I couldn't get my x-ray glasses to work! Darn piece of cr@p!! LMAO!!

I've got a million errands to run starting NOW, but had to find a few minutes to fill you in. Maddie is the sweetest person who goes along with anything and is soooooo geniune. I felt like I knew her my whole life, and missed her when I had to leave her. :-( OK, very top level rundown: Met at Central Park South (MIckey Mantle's restaurant, where we toasted to Raeanne, in particular, and the Diet Club) Maddie had Cosmopolitan (just like Sex in the City); and I had a boring Diet Coke & Malibu On to FAO Schwartz A dozen other high end stores (including Cartier!) St. Patrick's Catheral Rockefeller Plaza---tree, ice skaters, shopping, promanade Down fifth avenue through more stores Lord & Taylor spectacular decorations SACKS---OMG the window decorations to die for Past TImes Square (about 1 block away---it was rush hour) Empire STate Building---to the top. I'd forgotten how beautiful it was, as it was almost 40 years ago since I was there. We walked around the c-o-l-d top (picture Sleepless in Seattle!) where I tried to point out landmarks for Maddie, including where I live! We waited downstairs at 34th and 5th avenue for our "ride" back to her hotel---a white stretch limo. She was freaking out (Raeanne, you should have seen her face in the back of that----I took a picture of her)! I am absolutely serious when I tell you that more of us have to do this. It is a special gift to ourselves that we have to save and plan for. None of you will regret. I will never forget this special part of Christmas that I spent with Maddie. It DOESN'T MATTER WHERE WE GO--We are friends and just need to be in one room together exchanging stories and laughter just as we do here. Let's all think about it, and how we can get as many of us togheter as possible. That's it for now...gotta run.

I'm checking in. Been doing some (very) low impact exercise and watching my WW points carefully. Getting in 2 fruits, at least 3 veggies, and 2 dairies a day. Lots of water, etc. Hoping my weigh-in tomorrow shows my good work.

Friday, I'm off to the doctor again to discuss my CT Scan results. We're looking at more 'follow up', according to his nurse's message. (I'm tired of being sick and tired, but I'm hanging in there).

Make today count!
Love

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LYNN!!

Congrats to both you and your Hubby! Any plans? I hope that you have a wonderful day.

DeeMarie, I am sending prayers and good thoughts to you about these follow ups. Please keep us posted. Good for you on the exercise.

Well, that flu has flown the coop! Finally, we are feeling a little better. Boy did that virus want to hang on, though. Just when I was feeling better to go to CURVES, this had to hit. Oh well, back in the saddle.

Everybody, be strong and be WELL!!

Lynn~Happy Anniversary! You are just 1 year behind Dave & I. That should be easy to remember.

I woke up the past couple of mornings with migraine headaches again. I don't know what the deal is. I did decide that I was going to go to my paint class no matter what last night so that is exactly what I did. LOL We did landscapes. (That is the first time that I have remembered what it is even called.)

Well, shout out to everyone! And, to all a good night! Patti :)

Good THURSDAY morning everyone!

I'm on my way to a 4-hour meeting with the Vice President of our department---sort of a lets-hold-hands-and-sing session; complete with facilitator and break-out sessions. Should be a yawn, but I'll try not to close my mind. I'm a trained facilitator, and I know how hard it is to get people motivated when they want to be anywhere but where they are.

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

Good Morning All,

Happy Anniversary Lynn. Wishing you many, many more to come.

Patti, sorry you are suffering with those damned migraines. They are horrible. I hope painting takes your mind off it. Hope you will share your landscape with us. What medium are you painting in?

Tikanis, glad you all are feeling better too. The winter time illness' are really hanging on this year. I am fearful of the flus and disease that they are talking about on the news. Makes me very happy to live in the woods!

BJ, hope your family is feeling better too. Take care of yourself too.

DeeMarie, I am yawning already. I hate those types of sessions and you describe them so well! Hold hands and sing is exactly right! LOL

Did Raeanne leave town without telling us? Check in girl.

Besh, you too. Wasn't yesterday something? WAY too hot for this woman! I was cranky. We got a nice bit of rain last night and I am looking forward to more this weekend.

I am off in about an hour to Virginia for a show. I really would prefer to stay home with my own horses but I will make the best of it. It's grueling time though, 14-16 hours on our feet..............eating late, not enough sleep. Thank God I can get my horse fix or I would be crazy!

Have a great week and weekend everyone. I will be back Monday afternoon.

Hope all you MIA's check in while I am gone.

Hi I'm here.

I have been naughty and just lurking. Don't know why. Well I guess one reason is that I am on vacation this week and I have gone into this cleaning frenzy so I am limiting my computer time. I can get so lost on the computer and let time just fly by. This morning is the first day that I stayed in bed (9:00 AM). My house is cleaner (not 100%, but so much better). Today I am going to do some things outside.

Suzanne, yesterday was wonderful! It was quick though. Today it is in the 50's. It was so strange last night, we had a campfire with the kids and some of their friends, and all of the sudden the wind just picked up and you could feel the cold air just blowing in. We had to put out the fire; the winds got to be too much and it has been so dry here lately.

WW is going great. It has been a challenge this week being home. I lost 7# last week and I will be happy if I just stay the same this week!

Happy Anniversary Lynn! Doesn't the time just fly? DH and I have been married for 26 years!

Sounds like there are a lot of sickies here! I hope everyone is feeling better today.

All for now. Have a great day.

Love, Besh

I haven't been around, but it doesn't look like I missed much. (((((HUGS)))) to all that need them and all those that don't LOL. Sounds like a lot of the family is under the weather.

I got back from Syracuse on Tuesday, but I have been working a lot and my MIL is visiting, so my computer time has been limited.

Maddie - I love those glasses WOW. And I think I recognized the person behind them LOL. My problem is that I don't look good in too many glasses. My face is small and they usually overwhelm me. My first pair of glasses were children's glass - no joke! I will try some on in a store and see what shape looks best.

Magickitty - Happy Anniversary.

We haven't heard from Joanne and Gretchen in a while - hope all is well with them.

BJ - let us know how the girls are. I will keep them in my thoughts.

DeeMarie - Good luck with the Dr. tomorrow. I will be thinking of you.

Gotta run to the store and figure out something for dinner - very boring.

I am still on track with SSing, but feel I have already hit a stall.

Hi goils!

I have just been reading lately--don't know why; I guess b/c I don't have anything intelligent to post! LOL!

Things are about the same here--we're getting ready for the opening of the Derby Festival, and getting ready for Canada, so that's where my time is being spent. Oh, yeah--- and glasses, too! LOL!

Raeanne--i have the opposite problem--I have small features, but I'm fat, and that creates a whole new set of peoblems! I found a pair that look good--Jackie O kinda, and Rog did them for me in black and clear stones--

One QO was what do we do? Well, by ed-ju-ma-cation, I am an accountant. I got tired of that, and became an auctioneer. At this point, I am working on my jewelry and website, so that i don't have to go back to corporate America--although, I still want my own auction barn--

Has anyone heard from Joanne lately?

Hope all is well!

hugs,

Maddie

I intended to post this before, but I don't remember if I did.

I'd like to get everyone's web site address.

Mine, as some of you know, is still www.amylynnefineart.com. I haven't updated it for a couple of years, but plan to get back at it soon.

Does anyone else here have a forum? I've decided to start a forum called A Joy Forever. It will be about art, health, and whatever else, and will also provide a place for people to talk about their work and what they like to do. And maybe some inspirational things. There can't be any obvious advertising, but since I'm the administrator, I get to decide what breaks the rules. :)

Is everyone's page updated with current email addresses and all? A couple of times I've sent messages and didn't get a reply, so I'm not sure if it got missed. Nothing important, just wondering if we are all updated.

I'm still frustrated with my weight and my looks, but trying hard, and somewhat angry that I have to try so hard. Oh, well. Other things are going okay.

I'm sorry to hear about all the illnesses. WildChicken, it seems like you always have your hands and your life quite full. I do wonder why it all seems so hard sometimes.

On the positive side, when I called my son today, he answered on his cell phone at a game watching my granddaughter play soccer. Still many joys left in spite of the difficulties.

Back later. Please let me know if you have any ideas of what might be good to include on my new forum. Thanks.

Maddie, many thanks!---you're such a good singer!!!! lol. Wow! That's quite a compliment you gave me. I finally caught up on my reading and found I will miss you this year in KY. Bummer. But you still need to come to Seattle and so this makes the trip more necessary, don't you agree? My mom and dad and I will miss you SO much! We're missing the Colonel's pic nic this year since my dad thinks it'll be a madhouse in its new location. Anyway, I'm a love-a, love-a, love-a you and wish you the best in your at-home biz. You shine, sister! Go girl! And you WILL have an auction house someday---check out how far you've come already! Have a great trip on your upcoming vacation!

Raeanne~ Thanks for the e-card---I love Maxine! You are so cool to start my day like that! Smoochie! Hey! You've got to start checking in more----you're kinda quiet lately---me too. I have had my hands rather full of DD with mono and spring break, but this weekend, I'm catching up on laundry and life and diet chat. My older sis sent me a book called The Crystal Bible. SO COOL! You'd love it! The local star gazers shop has just about every crystal you can imagine, so I've been reading up on them all---and of course, every time I crack the book, I think of you!

Amy~I just got a new domain name registered for a website I'm building, but TIME---I need TIME! You ideas sound like a lot of fun! My oldest DD has started drawing this year and is having a lot of fun at it. I love her stuff. She does realistic-looking drawings of all kinds of stuff. She aslo dabbles in abstract photography. It's been great!

Back later to finish this; my dryer is buzzing at me!

Love to all!

BJ~I swear that I woke up this a.m. knowing that the 23rd of April was something important. Now, I'm certain. It is an important day for an important person. It is sad that you & Maddie won't get to get together at the Kentucky Derby this year. But, you have had the opportunity to meet so many of your sisters on here & that is very special! I love that you are able to travel the way that you do.

NH Suzanne~I would love to share my artwork on here but I don't have any way to do that. We are using enamels. I hear that a No'ereaster is heading your way. Is that right?

Amy~Glad that you posted!

Besh~Glad that you posted!

Maddie~Glad that you posted!

I just haven't been able to kick this flu or whatever & all I've been able to do all day long is sleep. We have had company over for dinner the other night though & that was fun. And, then I went to her house yesterday to learn to paint on material. So, we are learning to paint on just about anything that we want to. LOL (It can be tied down or not!) Shout out to everyone! Patti :)

BJ - What can I say? I am always wishing you the best of everything, not just on your birthday. I agree with Maddie's sentiments, you are always an inspiration and I wanna be just like you when I grow up LOL. Your family, friends and acquaintances are all better people for having you in their lives. I can't watch Survivor without thinking "BJ could kick their a$$". My DH only met you that short time and he believes it too LOL. Well in my opinion the world is a much better place, because of YOU. So have a great day, a great year and a great, long, healthy, prosperous, fun filled, full of love, happy life.

Great job Marci! We needed a party around here - too quiet lately.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BJ!!!!! Hope you and the family have a fun-filled weekend. You are an inspiration to us, such a well-rounded personality, and always a great motivator. I'm so glad to have met you. When I strayed away from this site, years ago...you were the one who sent me an e:mail with just these 3 words: "where ya been?". I will never forget that e:mail. It gave me the bump in the pants that I needed to reconnect and decide to never, never give up! Thanks for always being here for us, your family, and your friends. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

BTW, There's a small package in the mail for you (DH promised he mail it), but there is more to come. I've just not had the time to do the shopping I want to do for you lately (for obvious reasons). Watch that mailbox, though!!!

Make today count!

All that we needed to bring everyone here was BJ having a birthday. I can feel the love and it feels good.

BJ - After reading your post, I ordered The Crystal Bible - thanks.

Dee - I for one am grateful that BJ got you back here - it wouldn't be the same without you and your wonderful mantra.

Patti - sorry you are still not up to par. Hang in there.

I left my mother on Tuesday to come home to my MIL at my house - it would've been nice to have a day with just DH, but we managed and this afternoon DH is driving her half way back to the city (NO he's not leaving her on the side of the road - BIL is meeting them). So I am basking in the silence of my house.

Well dirty bed linens and towels are calling me...

Raeanne, I'm waiting for a blanket to dry, as I type this! Just 2 loads of laundry today....my washing machine is leaking; thank goodness it's in the basement. DH can't find anything wrong with it, but I'm convinced that water out the bottom is not normal. LOL!!!

Ate way over my points yesterday, but took them out of Flex Points for this week, and I'm on to another day. Forgetting already about that nasty old garlic bread! LOL!!

Make this a great Sunday! Don't forget to check in this week by actually p-o-s-t-i-n-g, OK? We love lurkers, but we sound funny talking to ourselves!

Besh, a Dept56 collectors club we belong to wants to plan a trip to Salem in October! haha....not sure we will go along until they decide on the date...the Jets are DH's #1 priority in the fall. :-)

BJ, hope you had a great day!

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