Good Tuesday morning, Maddie and Tikanis, and everyone else!

Well, the reconciliation failed, so the divorce process is back on, and I think we're both relieved now. I'll complete all my medical appts. between now and mid-December, then the divorce should be final before Christmas and I'll move to Dallas to begin my new life.

It's great to have this place to come to even when I can't work up enough "oomph" to post. "Seeing familiar faces" is comforting to me. I'm still eating pretty well and losing about a pound a week.

This morning I'm having oral surgery on my lower teeth/gums, so I'll be gumming my food for the rest of today.

Wishing everyone all they need to have a good day!

Hi! Congrats Suzanne on that terrific total on the yard sale! What was the fund raiser for? Carolyn, I feel your pain re the heat! Hotter than heck here too... I think most of us are catching up on FB, but I find this to be so much more private, a safe place where we can bare our souls. This group is amazing, even if I haven't been checking in so often! Just wanted to say thank you for all of the prayers and good wishes, good thoughts from you guys after my accident. I am completely recovered from that nasty concussion, jaw is all healed and i have been back to work for the past 2 1/2 weeks! You might have seen that I have already been deep sea fishing and this Sunday I am taking my kayak out on Newport Bay. Can't wait! Can't find too many friends or family who enjoy kayaking as much as I do, so I went to meetup.com and found some new friends who DO! Ha! There is group at that link for EVERY interest. So Carolyn, go find 'em! You might suddenly find yourself with TOO much to do! : ) tikanis

Good morning. Hot here, too, on the Mississippi Gulf Coast - heat index yesterday was 108. Even so, I worked in the flower beds all day. I love being outside so much. I was hoping it would be cooler, because of the tropical system in the Gulf, but not even the slightest breeze. Thank goodness Bonnie didn't cause much trouble. We didn't even have rain until last night and it wasn't that much. Does anyone have Direct TV or the Starz channel? That new miniseries - The Pillars of the Earth (?) has started, and wow, is it good. Ridley Scott is one of the producers. I think it airs on Tuesday but I caught a rerun of it last night on Direct TV. Worth watching, although like scenes in the Gladiator, I had to cover my eyes over the sword/fight scenes. Lots of blood. On that cheery note, ha, I'll stop rambling. Have a great Sunday.

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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NHSuzanne! YAY! It's your birthday! I hope that your family finds a way to make it very, very special for you! We love you here and are glad to hear your stories, detailing your outings on your baby, Sweet Pea. Hope you have some time today to spend doing something for YOURSELF, since your recent time has been so devoted to your DH. Cheers to you, sis! Have a great b-day! It's been quite a year! Marci~ Thanks for the cool picture! Very appropriate! Brekky: 1/2 bagel (but I'm going hunting for Marci's brand Monday!) 16 oz latte, n/f milk, s/f vanilla Snack:: Bag of pretzels: 220 cals Coffee w/ cream Late lunch at 3:30 (service went long): Lots of roasted veggies and a tiny piece of roast pork left over from the other night Dinner: (went to a housewarming party) About 6 rice crackers with homemade hummus - delish! Small square of phyllo-covered spinach something 3 sausages (small cocktail type - "Danger!") Lots of cucumber slices Dessert: The icing off of a 2" serving of chocolate cake Some red grapes Water, water, water, water! (Lots of wine flowing at this party, but I did not go there-stuck with spending my calories on food instead of wine and this morning, I'm glad I did that!) Going out to brekky with my family, then I hope to finish laundry and scoop my house into order! Also, my teen kids babysat twin boys all night for the house-warming couple and I hear them stirring, so before brekky, I have to return the boys to their parents! So fun having boys in the house tho'! Maddie~ (((((LOVE AND HUGS!))))))) Special thoughts going out to you and your kitty today---and every day. And tell Rog to GO SUCK A LEMON! Raeanne: I resorted to printing a cute photo I had of the housewarming couple and framing it, then wrapped it in a ribbon and DH brought along a bottle of Berritage wine for them. I love your idea of a Feng Shui basket, but you're right, it takes a certain kind of person! That would be a great idea for the holiday exchange HERE though---something with a Feng Shui twist! DeeMarie~ Miss you, love you, can't wait till you're back! And I'm never giving up---! Tikanas~Hope your finger is healing nicely. Be careful out there! Everyone have a RELAXING Sunday! Mind your menus!

I am glad that your reaction is one of relief. You got some validation in counseling and I hope that makes your new start easier. I hope that you see this as a new adventure. The world is now your oyster!

Good morning everyone. This has been a slow week here. Where is everyone? I have had a sinus infection for over a week & with the CFIDS & Fibromyalgia it takes every fiber of my being to get back on track.

Tikanis~Thanks for the link last week.

Maddie~Thanks for getting us started this week.

Milkdud~I hope you won't stay sad real long. You have been fighting an uphill battle a long time & I think the relief you feel is a sign that better things are to come. I can visit you in Dallas too! And, soon I won't live that far away. Hip hip hooray!

Well, it is time for me to call my Mom. I just wanted to check in & let everyone know I'm still kicking. :)

Hi Guys!

Back from Alaska...everything is chugging along. Us kids have a plan for Mom and Dad. They are old and with my Dad being sick, it's hard for my Mom to stay focused. She has onset Alzheimer's, so when she gets stressed, she gets forgetful. Weee...I love lookin' forward to THAT for myself!

Milkdud: If it's any comfort, I think you are doing the right thing. We see so many reconciliations fail and things, at that point, really get worse. So making a firm decision is the way to go. You sound like you're ready for the transition. YOU GO, GIRL! Youwill do just fine in Dallas!

Maddie: You work too hard...lol.

Tikanis: Are you havin' a GREAT week?

Where is everyone? Cheers!

Okay...this is ridiculous....

6 posts for the whole week?

We need to get some renewals here and start getting our old gang going again.

I was driving down the road thinking how sad it would be if, after all these years, this group wasn't here for each other.

Everyone is going through transitions and is busy, but this is the place we keep coming back to.

What can we do? I vote for a questionaire to get to know each other's recent happenings...

Questions about marital status, kids, pets, farm animals, likes, dislikes, pet peaves, food, favorite recipes, vacation destinations, favorite memories, treasures you hold dear, etc.

Has FaceBook left our GardenWeb group in the dust? I hope not. :-(

It'll be Rabbit/Rabbit on Monday and I hope everyone remembers it's the start of a new month and a reunion of friends here.

Mea Culpa! I have been a bad poster, I know! I will do better, promise! I will answer the questionaire right after Rabbit, Rabbit..

Had a wonderful, long talk with Maddie today! It was the highlight of my week! What a Sweetheart she is. I felt like I'd known her forever!

Got the World Series game on, working on some household projects and puttering. Staying in tonight, just me and the cat and Ponce*

What's everybody else doing??

Tikanis

*remember Ponce De Leon? The fountain of youth?
I'll be coloring my hair! LMAO!

Hi Guys!

I went to a fundraiser haunted house last night. People from the town donated everything and the athletic kids made a haunted house. One guy donated his warehouse for the thing to take place. It was a huge effort and is likely to make a lot of money for the sports program here. YAY!

Tonight, treat or treating with my 12 year old DD! Then hosting a movie night for a buncha 14 yr olds!

I think I'll dye my hair too. It's lookin' a little grow-outtie....haha!

I'm supposed to go to work and clean the office today, but I'm reading the internet news and surfing. Okay, this is it. I'm going to work!

Check in! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
