Happy Saturday! I did not get to check in yesterday. I went to the heart doctor at 0800 and that was fine, go back next year. Then I went home and crashed. Was so tired so took a nap and then we had our supper ride for our CMA motorcycle group. Today back at work and didn't sleep well. DH realized just before bed that he lost his fitbit. So we looked all over and couldn't find it. So am praying it turns up or have to see about getting another one.
Had a very nice time with DGD garage saling. She is so funny as she has to look thru everything before she decides. And she had her own money so she would count it out to the penny. Guess next Friday night she is going to spend the night and we will go out garage saling while DH is at work. She has the best dressed babys in town.
Janetr--sending Hugs for you and your family. I am also trying to live in the moment. Not easy most days, but not giving up. Congrates to DD. Sounds like she has been working hard and deserves it.
Well I did not get far today, to the bottom of page 51. Been a werid day, but about time to get off work and go to church this evening since I work in the morning. Have a good Saturday ladies and remember we are not in this alone.
Blessings, Vicki GI NE

Lenora, sorry for your fall! The good thing is that when you get a goose egg it usually means your brain is OK, that the damage is outside the skull.
Cheri, love the photo! I am one of five kids too. I have two older sisters, 6 and 7 years older, an older brother four years older and a younger sister 18 months younger.0 -
Pip - hooray . Glad you finally got it!
Vicki - thanks for the kind words.
Barbie - anxious to see the dance pic.

Carey: I'm working at riding horses because the "little girl inside" loved them and never got her fill. I am having a wonderful time with it. (It turns out the little girl is still there, but her muscles and bones are all grown up and halfway over the hill.) If you are a horse lover I hope you'll pursue it, but if you always wanted to dance, or something different, that is what you should do. :flowerforyou:
Cheri: Your mom in this picture looks so much like you do now. Wow! You all look great "all growed up," too. :bigsmile:
Barbie: I know how much the lsagenix products have done for you in your own life. It seems like an excellent fit for your business. :flowerforyou:
Pip: The more I see your Airstream photos, the happier I am that you and Kirby have it for get aways. I particularly love the quilt on your bed. :flowerforyou:
Vicki GI NE: Congratulations on the good medical report. Garage sale shopping with your DGD sounds like fun. :flowerforyou:
We're sitting in our air-conditioned and filtered home looking out at enough smoke that it looks like a foggy afternoon and I can smell a slight tinge of smoke even inside. It is not fog at all; it is smoke. There are fires to the north and east of us that are burning up the forests of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. I hope the firefighters stay safe while they try to do their work.

Nice airstream and very nice quilt.
Love the family photo, too.
Nice relaxing day. Walked, then made sandwiches for homeless, came home and organized my coupons, got 300 speckled balls on Candy Crush, went to these two huge furniture warehouses just to browse and get a few more steps, then grabbed some barbecued chicken for supper from the little barbecue place across the street from the furniture store. I was slightly tempted by this one little chair-side table, but talked myself out of it. I was really scoping out recliners for my mother and my son.0 -
Does anyone know who Toni Hoy is on this forum? I cannot remember her MFP handle. She is the one who wrote" Second Time Foster Child." I want to get in touch with her. Please message me privately instead of on this forum, because I don't always have time to be on this forum. Thanks in advance.

@exermom ooh we can now happy dance tagether!! Saweeet!
@DamitJanit woohoo...I think this happy dancing can be in a line dontchathink?......
@Katla49 Yep I think we will be fine, the Navy is a great company when you think about all the benefits. I mean they get clothed, fed, have insurance, see the world, and get paid. When the boys are out to sea, its stressful, because I am not sure where they are really AT in the world. Husband and I are hoping to get a little trailer and just travel abit, and not be anywhere inperticular. That 4 mile walk was tiring but I am down .8 of a pound so I am happy bout that!
Lori in Woodridge. Il.- Welcome to this here little group! Any mental baggage you are carrying, you can CHUCK on the white sides of this here page. There is someone that comes and cleans that up so its all good! I have been here a short while and these ladies are a lifesaver! They are quick to throw you a doughnut when you are drowning, or swat your hand when you are wanting to reach for an oreo! Hmmm all my sentences are ending with a "!" Silly Becca......!

we intend on retiring in that airstream. not travel around in it, but pull it somewhere and live., the quilt i had made for kirby. it has a lot of his old running and riding shirts that i retired for him, they were too worn out to wear anymore. i have my collection that i will probably have one made for me.
we plan on removing the little dining table and putting a long seating area there, with storage underneath, probably an extra refrigerator or freezer0 -
well lying in bed watching Caribbean life, would live it,
Tom seems to be persnickety today...was asking if I should change plans for December as we will be together for 3 weeks,he said ,not for now but that could change... Really? Well for right now will deal,and start figuring what I have to do

This was our Winnebago...sadly we had to give it to the bank when we moved up here..part of the bankruptcy thing. On the good side, it slept 8 so it would've been Waaaay too big for just the two of us! Great for the boys when we went to the resort though!
Becca0 -
we traded in our Sport Trac truck, and our pop-up trailer for this thing.....so it became our "normal driving around town car" hense that is why its parked in front of our house! :-)

I'm sort of a 'klutz'; mainly because I don't pick up my left foot as much as I do the right. When it is dark out here, it is DARK! Got a couple of night lights maybe they will put off enough light for me to see. Do you have to climb onto your bed in the Streamliner to make up the bed? Looked like there was no way to ever fall out of it. That's what I need. If I ever fall out of my bed; it'd probably kill me. LOL! 4 feet to the floor with a side table next to it. I usually try to sleep closer to the middle of the bed as husband hugs his side of the bed so I don't bother him.0

Anne- we had one of those Winnebago jobs before we got this one.0

Sweet! Mine was really easy to clean because it was just food and towels :-) I had canvas square totes that were labeled Break/Lunch/Dinner/Snacks for the overhead bins above the table. Less likely to have the boys grazing into everything when I was down at the pool. :-)0 -
Thanks all, I have bounced back ... have to put an ice pack on my head ... hopefully the swelling will go down. I hate it when I fall - I'm usually mad with myself for not doing something I should have or embarrassed because I did it in public. My DGDs say they are just worried about me, not embarrassed. That's good, because I am embarrassed enough for all 4 of us.
I've been trying to get my DOGD to let me have some of her cheerleading T-shirts to make a quilt for her. She won't give them up. Oh well! Maybe someday soon. They have T-shirts for anything that goes on at their school. Just 2 now in it, so it won't be quite as expensive for their parents.
@pip34 - that way y'all can live at the beach, mountains or even travel to find someplace you want to live for a while. I take it that y'all don't have any children/grandchildren to visit.0 -

DH and sabotage #3 for the week:
I can't eat white bread, I'm on a healthy lifestyle eating plan so I don't eat ice cream. Of course taking me to Kopp's (fast food and frozen custard) when I'm hungry and thirsty makes perfect sense to the man who claims to love me yet attempts to sabotage my efforts. When we get back in the car he says: "What happened? You said you were thirsty, and I brought us here to eat and get something to drink. You make a little scene in front of the cashier when you order your bottle of water and go stomping away, just to walk around the block several times. I don't get it." "Yes, Greg, I know you don't get it. If I wanted to eat junk I would have said let's go get some junk. Since you are obviously never going to "get it" let's go to SerbFest, so at least I can try some food I've never tasted before". Yuck, you can't make me eat anything I've never tried. Never mind, just take me home so I can eat some vegetables and buy more life insurance while you stuff yourself with junk.
Complaining done and swept into the corner. Thanks Friends ! ! !

Well, my August goals spill into September as I am hoping to be at goal weight for my 52nd birthday.
If if doesnt happen, I'm happy knowing I tried hard.

Did 45 minutes of a Double Down DVD. I like this one, you can really push yourself. I don't think I pushed myself today as much as I could have. The plan for tomorrow is to do some pilates and then go to WalMart. I need to make the cake for the social this weekend and I need eggs. I also need to buy gas so I'll get some while I'm there. One good thing about being here in the South is that going to WalMart early on a Sunday means there's practically no one there -- everyone's at church. I go to church on Saturdays so that works for me.
Barbie - I'm thinking that the weights like you have aren't for me. Like today I could add an extra 3lb weight. To have to go and unclip it, put on another weight, reclip it -- that would be too much time. It was just faster to pick up a 3lb weight. I also need different size weights depending on what part of the body I'm working on. Like you can go heavy on legs and back -- those are big muscles. But I need lighter weights for shoulders -- those are smaller muscles. Especially when I'm going lateral raises with both hands
DJ - I wish there was some sort of pill to take to get rid of that "bloated" feeling you get when you eat different foods. Like yesterday, even tho I had an egg white omlet, I think they put some sort of cheese in it, and to me there was a lot of butter. There probably wasn't but to me there was. Don't get me wrong -- the food was good. Just that my system isn't used to all that butter so I felt "yuk" for a while. Fortunately, they didn't give me any toast. I don't remember if I asked for none or not, but not getting it was just fine with me. I remember when we lived in the Poconos we had a freezer. Well, with three little kids, there were many days when by the time I'd bundle all three up, I wanted to buy EVERYTHING I would need for the next week or so. But then my freezer got a real good workout. Well, it does now, but that's because there's only the two of us and I prepare meals in advance, freeze them, then take them out of the freezer a few days in advance. I usually will have some bread in the freezer. But I laugh when there's the threat of the "s" word
pip - yes, I'd call gall bladder removal serious surgery. I don't know how you're doing it with that shoulder. Yea that your prescription came in! lovely airstream. You do know that you and Kirby can take a road trip to NC, don't you? Great quilt.
Mindy - hope your first day at WF went great. I'm sure it did
Joyce - understand men????? You HAVE to be kidding!!!! When you're using your stove/oven as a countertop can you lock out the burners so they can't be accidentally turned on? I can and love that feature. Like for the social I can put a cooler with water on it and know that someone can't accidentally turn on the stove. Bad part is if someone needs to use my oven or stove, they can't. Oh well...they really shouldn't be expecting me to cook their food for them. I don't think dying the shorts would work only because at the seams the dye would be a different shade. I'll just wait until next season. That is...unless I find a pair of white shorts at a really really good price. Then I might try dying them myself. I can't even find white ones at the Salvation Army. At their prices, I wouldn't mind experimenting with dying the shorts. Great on getting that table. I think we have two 6 footers, a 5 footer, and a card table. I can't understand what's happening to my body. I seem to have this "pooch". I watch what I eat, you know I exercise a lot, drink usually over 100oz of water a day, but for some reason it's there. Wish I could somehow get it to go down.
katla - try that Arctic Zero. It's really good but not creamy at all since it's for lactose intolerant people. I think you'll like it. Good for you making new goals for your riding. Sounds incredible.
Lori - so glad we were able to inspire you. Keep coming back for more inspiration
Welcome everyone new
Sharon - what a lovely GD you have there. I can see why hubby would melt
Heather - I bet your failure was delish, as everything you make is
Oh, made key lime cupcakes to take to bowling Monday and then iced them. Everyone is supposed to bring something. They're going to be serving "bbq" but I'm thinking that I'll just take a few pieces of fruit with me
Gayle - I've often wondered why hotels don't have their pools open 24hrs. I could understand if they had a lifeguard, but many of them don't but they don't open until later in the a.m. You are so lucky to have one that's open 24hrs
jb - can you do the low impact jumping jacks? Those are the only ones I do
Lenora - OUCH!!!! Glad you weren't seriously injured. When I clean the spa or the steps for the pool, you just can't have the broom at an angle so as much as it pains me (especially in 90 degree weather) I just HAVE to get in the pool/spa. Isn't that terrible? Our pool is a salt water one.
Carey - I had this DEATHLY fear of horses. At the time we lived in Kennett Square (PA) which is right next to Unionville which is BIG TIME horse country. If you remember Barbaro, his owner went to the same Y that I went to. When he was injured, the hosp he went to was right around the block from us. Jessica worked there, she got to pet him and all. The media didn't but she did. She knew his vet and all. Anyway, I digress (so what else is new?). When I first started taking horseback riding lessons because I wanted to get over my fear, the instructor had to keep reminding me to breathe. The horse I started on had a lame leg so he couldn't go fast at all. I only got to where I would walk the horse, trotting a bit, went on trail rides, but that's about it.
Cheri - what a neat pic. Thanks for sharing it. All of you were so cute. Your mother must have had the patience of a saint...and she was probably very good at improvising when something was forgotten. And then to see you all grown up! Amazing
Michele in NC0
