Good Monday all,

I had a great time in Nantucket! The weather was perfect!
Besh, I cannot believe you have never been there. You should check it out someday. It is unique.

Marci, glad your yard sale was good. I should do one but just don't have the energy. I could have a pretty good one that is for sure.

Where is Tikanis anyway?

Marci - I sent you info on Tikanis. Glad the sale was a success. I love the feeling of getting rid of stuff! I filled a large trash bag yesterday from things collected in the basement that would be of no use to anyone LOL. I finally broke down and got rid of my kids workbooks, etc from elementary school.

Suzanne - glad you enjoyed Nantucket and the weather cooperated. I was there for the first time a couple years ago and am anxious to return.

I have a relatively quiet week ahead of me but that can change at a moments notice. It is DH's birthday today so I am taking him out. If it were nicer I was going to grill some lobster on the lake - I am not telling him that as he will be disappointed LOL.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone.

I had a lovely lunch with my daughter to-day. We try to do that once or twice a week on her lunch break.

I'm working away on my chemo caps. I tried a new pattern, worked on it a great deal on the week-end and some to-day and ripped it all out. I didn't like it. If I don' like it, I can't expect someone else to want to wear it.

Wednesday is weigh in day. How about you, newdawn1895? How is it going? I haven't done too well the last couple of weeks so we'll see what happens.

I hope to-morrow to go out of town about 35 miles to visit a friend in a nursing home. She is 93 years old and enjoys visits so much.

Talk to you again on Wednesday

Good Monday evening, y'all!

It was another hot one here in Big D today - high 90's.

I spent the day at my oldest son's home today visiting with them and my sister and her family. What a great time and wonderful food we all enjoyed!

My legal proceedings are starting to look promising, so I'm hoping that things work out with the latest plan and this will soon be over. It's very stressful on me. While I'm actually not stress-eating through this, my face is breaking out like a teen's, and my nerves are not quite as "cast iron" as Marci wished for me. :) The almost-xh is aready dating, so he's definitely ready to move on and settle things. I'm just ready to be done with this.

All for now. Great to see y'all posting here today!

Good Tuesday all,

Good to see you here Milkdud. The weather has been so hot here too - low 90's. It awful and it's very hard on Sweet Pea. Sounds like you are doing well with your decision and I am happy that it's not really ugly. I hope all concludes quietly and quickly for your sake.

Ivamae, I hope you are having a nice lunch with your friend.

Hope everyone has a chance to drop in today and say hello.

Hey there!

So sorry to have been MIA!

Just popped in to say a quick hello. Hope to be back here regularly in just a few days. i owe everybody PMs.... I have not checked FB or emails for almost 2 weeks!

Am busier than a one armed paper-hanger at a redecorating convention! be careful what you wish for...

Back soon to catch up!

Marci, I sent you my addy.

Tikanis

Got it Tikanas. Thanks. Now stop and take a deep breath..............LOL That conference sounds like fun; tell us more.

I am forcing myself to start thinking of preschool. But I am telling everyone I know that this IS MY LAST YEAR and this time, no one is going to talk me out of it! My heart just isn't in it anymore. :~(

We may go out for dinner tonight and I am going out to lunch tomorrow. Then off to Penn State for my niece's graduation over the weekend. Nothing real exciting, but it is keeping me out of trouble. lol

NHSuzanne - No luck today finding that July/August issue, but I still have a few more places I can check later this week.

((Milkdud)) Sorry that you are having to go through some sad/bad times.

Good Wednesday,

Tikanis it's good to see you here! We worry about you when you stay away. Glad that you are busy though.

Marci, it's driving me crazy about not being able to get that issue for you! I am still looking. I think Barnes and Nobles sells it but I don't have one near. Also, Hannaford if you have them around. It's really a good issue too! Hope you are able to find it before you have to go back to school! Sigh...

The weatherman promises cooler weather but no rain...I want rain in the worst way. The sound of crunching pasture is sickening to me.

Good morning!

Wheweee, it was hot this morning. I did not want to walk, was hopeful when I saw lightning, but it was just heat lightning. Once I get dressed and out the door, I'm fine, it's just getting to that point! The tropical stuff/depression is to start moving in this afternoon, but shouldn't be anything major.

Enjoyed my trip with my brother to see our mother. Shopped at a cute place "Charming Charlie's" - my cousin in Dallas had told us about it. All sorts of jewelry, purses, even tops and dresses. Saw a movie, ate out. Just fun.

milkdud, I hope your days are brighter soon.

suzanne, I wish I could share some of the rain that is headed here with you. I would gladly swap it for some cooler temps!

ivamae, I need to start weighing in again, but don't have the nerve today.....good luck with yours, though!

tikanis, hope you are able to slow down a bit.

Need to run. Have a good one!

Well Wodka, I weighed this morning. It appears I'm on a plateau - neiher up nor down. That's a lot beter though than an increase.

I did go yeserday. Had quite a time. I don't drive all that much anymore and because of all the consruction I went a different way - one that I'm not that familiar with. When I came to one town there was a detour because of construction - a lengthy one. Anyway got around that all right. Got to the next town and made a wrong turn and didn't realize it until I saw the name on a nursing home and realized I wasn't supposed to be anywhere near it. Turned around and found my way.
When I got to the nursing home, my friend had a bad cold and they strongly advised ,for my own sake, that I not go in to see her.

I was sorry about that but didn't want to get sick myself and bring the flu home to others. I asked them not to tell her that I had been here.

I came home a different way than I went. Still not that familiar with part of it but all worked out fine. The weather was nice and I did run a few other errands so I don't consider it was time wasted. The fact I didn't see my friend gives me an excuse to go again in a couple of weeks. Bet I don't go the same route!!!

I don't intend to do too much to-day. This old girl gets exhausted easily. Anyway I had a good sleep last night and a good walk with the dog this morning.

Have a good one everybody.

Ivamae, what a day you had! I have said it before, but it's worth repeating. Knowing how "young" you are, and what health complications you've had to battle, you never cease to amaze me with your enthusiasm for life and kindness to others. I hope you catch up on your much-needed rest today. Congrats on keeping your weight down this week. I agree - no gain is good!

Thanks wodka for the nice remarks. Yes, I have caught some rest to-day and had a good sleep last night, too. Many years ago I made my mind up and told everyone that my body may get decrepit but I don't intend to let my spirit get old. I still think that is a good attitude.

I like doing things for others, especially if I feel that they need it. I know that a person can be taken advantage of and I have a sign on my computer desk that has been there for years. It says " don't take unfair advantage of anyone and don't let anyone take unfair advantage of you" I think that is worth remembering for every ones sake.

Talk to everybody later.

Have a good evening.

This is scary....on a THURSDAY night I am starting this post!!!

Please check in!!!

Good Friday all,

TGIF. It's been a long week in the office all alone. We are supposed to have a good weekend and I have more than enough projects to keep me busy. DH is in British Columbia so he won't be home this weekend! LOL

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I am getting ready to head to State College, aka Happy Valley for my niece's graduation. I love that campus and always enjoy revisiting my old stomping grounds.

I have eaten out so much this week and will be eating out this weekend, so I look forward to staying in next week and finding some new recipes (thanks to DeeMarie and NHSuzanne). When I eat out too much, my stomach starts to protest! LOL

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
