Good Monday all,

Dee, ((((((HUGS)))) to you. So sorry and hope you are feeling better.

I tried to get caught up with everyone here over the weekend. There is just so much going on that I find myself short of time.

Long story short - I had a great time in Acadia which I will share later. Got home on the 28th of June, had the 29th off to get my self together after being gone for 8 days. My last chore of the evening was in the barn. I stepped out of the stall and laid my right ankle over sideways. Have a level three sprain! For once DH was home the next day to help with that whole week. I am going fairly well - quite mobile but the ligaments are still very painful and I have to be careful. Also, during that week my 10 new chicks came so that was a nice diversion. WHAT IS IT WITH MY FEET?

Donna, I wanted to share that those wonderful cozy pink socks you gave me were very comforting on my poor foot.

I will try to catch up later but wanted you all to know I am alive and pretty well!!

Good Monday evening, friends!

The wedding weekend was wonderful. The bride/my niece was beyond beautiful as were all her attendants, including my 3-3/4 yr.old greatniece and her mom/my oldest niece. My sister was dressed so lovely and she and her husband both enjoyed the wedding and reception so much, as did everyone there. It was just the best of times with all the family on hand.

(((Dee))) So sorry for the loss of your aunt.

(((Suzanne))) Bless your heart about your ankle. At least you have wonderful memories of your trip to keep you company while you're taking life easier!

I'll be going over to youngest Dson's house on Wednesday to babysit until Friday afternoon. This time, I'm taking my own computer so that I can read and post.

Wishing everyone a good Monday night/Tuesday morning!

OK, if I have time to check in, there is no excuse for you. [[[[[[[[[[Donna]]]]]]] so sorry about your family loss. Our friend's cousin was a news anchor in Tampa years ago..with a horrible end to her life. So sad for everyone. I have been listening to "Intuitive Eating" CDs, which accompany the book. It has really helped me identify emotional and mindless eating over the last week. I hope to use this to see if I can just stop dieting. No diet has helped me for long. This shows you a new way to look at all food; nothing is off limits. No guilt over what you choose, but I am definitely eating less during the day. Not getting on the scale either; I'll know if I can break through this mindless stuff. Also cut out 99% of the salt I used; I'm tasting food again. Really wierd but it seems to be clicking with me. Again, no diet; just trying to change my relationship with food. Will let you know how it's working from time to time. Tikanis, how was your weekend? Check in with us! Hello to Marci, Besh, Maddie, BJ, Ivamae, Gretchen, Jan, milkdud, Amy, Jen, Patti, Raeanne, and Suzanne. Come on out and play with us! Dee

Donna - I have a lot of confidence that you will find some time to "play" next week, enjoy the time off! Besh - I agree, don't get frustrated, we have all been there and if you keep behaving it will only be a temporary gain. Suzanne - I love tarragon too, also rosemary. Dee - one of our closest friends is a dentist. I always ask him how it feels to have so many people afraid of you. He is one of the nicest men I know and I can only imagine that he is very gentle and compassionate as a dentist. He lives over an hour away or I would go to him. Marci - I have my gyn appointment in a couple of weeks - I dread it too, but necessary. How is DD doing (and you)? I can't wait to see DD#1 in a few weeks! Patti - if you are reading, we miss you, hope you are having fun being a grandma LOL. My MIL had been visiting since Sunday, she was suppose to leave on Sunday but became very bored and left today. I guess my BIL's house is more exciting (thank goodness). You can't even believe all the things we did with her and she is still bored. She had her hair done, we took her shopping, out on the boat, out to breakfast twice, out to lunch another day and out to dinner one night. DH went into work late so they could spend time together and 20 family members were with us Sunday and Monday. I wish I had time to get bored. QOD - No agenda and I hope it stays that way. I haven't had my house to myself since last Friday and it feels good to just be home. As much as I go out I am really a homebody at heart. Friends are coming up from FL tomorrow evening, so we will probably go boating if the weather permits. Enjoy your weekend.

QOD: Youngest DD went to a friend's house to spend the night. 2nd youngest DD had a summer slumber party here-I don't know why they call it that; no one sleeps and she has a party to go to today! 15 y.o DD was out last night with 18 y.o. BF - he now has his own apartment whcih she likes to visit. She starts pilot ground school today 8-6 for the next few Saturdays and Sundays. Oldest DD got a job running projectors at the local movie house, so she was working the last couple nights till 3 a.m. w/ the "Pirates" openings? I haven't yet. Me, I'm walking dogs, watering lawns, studying philosophy, ethics, and moral obligations, topped off with a load of meteorology and LOTS of laundry and weeding! I am going to spend an hour in my office as well--cleaning! DH is taking the bar study course 24/7, so things are running smoothly around here, really. GOOD LUCK, ERICA!!! Pictures, please! You are our "SS Daily Queen" mascot EVERY DAY! Zig~ Hope the funeral was okay for you. Those things are tough, but bring people together---and that's a good thing. Dee- Good to hear you're continuing the walking, but sorry about the pain of all. Syill thinking of your co-worker and her DH... Donna~ Did you get to go out to dinner? Raeanne: The questions on the body shape quiz didn't give many options for answers. I was an hourglass too, but have never thought of myself this way---I really think I have a boy's shape, sort of squarish w/ large shoulders. I was wondering how much stock to put in that quiz. Work-outs with enough weight to cause a fair amount of resistance is a great way to prevent bone disease and just plain be healthier---so I'm foregoing the femmy looks for that. Besides, as I get older, I sort of want to look like I can kick some @ss---lol!!! As well, I have really enjoyed increasing the weight at the gym from time to time--POWER! John-cats yet? Besh-CONGRATS on the 2.6 at WW Friday!!!!!!!!! I read about you unpacking your canvas bags and had to laugh---I have the same deal after an outting! Sounds like your weekend is FULLLLLLLLL! Be good! Milkdud~ What kind of swimming do you do? I've been hitting the pool for low key water walking twice a week. It's just a nice way for me to mellow out really. Maddie! Let us know how the Tedster's concert is. We are going to see Kenny Loggins in August at Saint Michelle Winery--1/2 hour from our house--so beautiful out there. Good luck on Monday's interview---I didn't catch what kind of business you're interviewing for... NHSuzanne~ You are so lucky to live where you do. Haven't heard you talking about DH and his sons lately...how's that going? Marci~ Cookie Lady! Good luck--taste and walk, taste and walk! It's sunny here---RARE, so I better finish my indoor stuff so I can get outdoors! Make this weekend a good one! Has anyone seen "The Inconvenient Truth?" (The Al Gore movie) and Has anyone seen "Pirates of the Carribean?" I haven't seen either but want to.

Ivamae - hope you are able to sign on to our room at Facebook. Jan - glad you checked in - I cracked up over your song choice LOL. Come join us on Facebook. It is so much easier than posting here. I will continue to check in here though. BJ - missing you. Suzanne - love the photo of the baby chicks - they are too cute. I don't think I knew you could get them through the mail until you talked about them arriving at work one day LOL. It has cooled down considerably around here and we even got some much needed rain today.

I just lost a post and am very frustrated and short on time.

below is a link to a slideshow I put on Youtube about the Adirondack Chair project. This is very foreign to me so I apologize for the quality and the music LOL.

quickly, I sent Suzanne more hugs and was wondering if she is back at work, congrats on the new chicks. I was happy that Milkdud had such a perfect time at the wedding. I am also thinking BJ moved as she hasn't been on here. Thinking of Dee, Jan, Maddie, Patti, Besh, Donna and hugs to all!

Thanks for the link Raeanne. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but those cows sure were cute! LOL What a nice display of talent.

Call me prejudiced, too, because my favorite is the cow chair!!! If I could afford to, I'd bid high and hope to win that one.

Good morning!

I loved the chairs, too! Too many to pick a favorite, but especially liked the cows, the bird (egret? heron) and the cattails, the child's chair with the fairy. What talented folks!

Getting ready to walk. It is so humid so early. We're walking at 6:30 and it's already too warm. Slap me if I ever complain about being too cold (like that's going to happen - ha!)

Have several new neighbors on our street - yesterday one of them wanted me to go with them to one of our garden nurseries. We had a ball. I came home and planted a yellow knockout rose, a pink muhly grass (the one that turns a vibrant, cotton-candy pink in the fall - so cool-looking!) some herbs (they were $1 - rosemary and basil) a pomegranate shrub - have no idea, so planted it in a planter until it gets some growth to it. Has pretty flowers, though!

Re: WW. I gained for the first time since January - 8/10 of a pound. I had steak for dinner the night before - first red meat I've had in months. It was good, and I enjoyed it with a glass of wine, but next time I'll have that kind of meal on Friday night!

suzanne, I hope your ankle is feeling better. That had to hurt! Mine has done that to me before, without any warning. Someone told me there's some kind of stabilizer that you can buy that will help strengthen your ankles. I've thought about checking into it, because I would like to be able to start running one of these days, instead of walking. We'll see.

Better get moving. Hope it's a great day for all.

Happy WEDNESDAY to all,

Suzanne, I wish you a very speedy recovery. I agree...what is it with your feet? LOL!!! Be well girlfriend!

Raeanne, love those chairs. You put me to shame with all your local activities. I can barely get a 30-minute walk in my schedule along with work and taking care of DH. If I could afford it now, this job would be a thing of the past. LOL!!

[[[[[[[[[[[[Donna]]]]]]]]] still thinking about you and your family. Hope things are getting better down there.

Gotta run and try to catch up here at the office.

Make today count!

Dee - If I could do away with the day job I could actually have a clean house hahaha. You are one to talk of all the charity events you are involved in.

Jan - That is a Great Blue Heron and it is definitely the showstopper. There is so much detail to it, she really did a fantastic job. $1 herbs what a deal!

The sun is actually shining and the sky is clear of clouds. It is a strange sight these days, but I am loving it.

Enjoy!

Milkdud - my husband is on stand-by to bid on my cow just in case no one else does. This auctioning stuff can be hard on a person's ego LOL.

I just picked up an Adirondack Ottoman to paint to go with my chair LOL. I will surprise them with that the day of the auction.

Raeanne, if I could I would save you by bidding on your cow chair, but it would look a bit strange in my neighborhood. I think I was in my 20's before I saw a live cow. Quite shocking! LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm! I'm wondering how much a flight to Raeanne's and back, plus shipping for an Adirondack chair and ottoman would be.

;-)

First 1/2 day of babysitting the DGD's. My oldest DGD is here, so that's the best news ever! Aubrie is an adorable ringtailed tooter about naptime, but we're going to work on that through Friday afternoon. Where is Super Nanny when we need her? LOL

I have now officially missed 4 TOPS meetings in a row. It's always something keeping me from going this last month, and I will be so happy when life returns to normal for me by the end of this month. I haven't gained anymore, but neither have I lost. Nobody seemed to care one way or another during the wedding weekend, and I was comfy in my own skin, so that helped me a lot. But, I do want to feel lighter on my feet, so I'll return to my meetings ASAP and get going again. Oh, if only I could do as well as Jan!

Alexis (9-1/2 yr. old DGD) and I are going out to dinner in a bit, then I need to find some kind of shirt suitable for the 'Divas on Safari' event next Friday. I also want it to be something that I'd wear other times, so we're not talking gaudy here.

Where is everyone? I'm hoping that BJ's absence means she's too busy unpacking and settling in. But, where are the others?

Gotta go watch 'Max and Ruby' with Aubrie now. Wonderful Wednesday wishes!

Happy THURSDAY!!!

Only one more day until the weekend and I can leave this office for 2 days.

Happy, happy dance! I zipped up a suit skirt that has not fit me in almost 3 years. Was not comfortable enough to wear all day here as it's linen, but it's a step forward.

Check in people!!!!

BJ, hope you are in your new place.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!

QOD: What's up for the weekend?

We have no definite plans. I need to decide on color and package extras on my new lease from Nissan. That's about it; next week I pick whatever it is up. I'm not too snobbish on cars; I insist, however, on a new one every 3 years, so I lease. Costs more, but I feel I owe myself that treat after years and years of basing all financial decisions on whether my car need a new trans or tires. LOL!!

Have a great weekend!

Dee, I am LMBO at your comment "Quite shocking" about seeing a cow. I guess if you never saw one before it would be, but it just cracks me up. Coming from New England I can't remember ever not seeing a cow! You are too funny.

I don't really have more time. Today is first day of my vacation and I am cleaning the house so the rest of the time I don't have to worry about living in this squalor.

Hello to everyone and (((HUGS))) all around!
