Hello ladies trying to catch up on all the posts.
KJLaMore that's funny.
Chris those hours are rough. Been there?
Carol know how you feel with the rental. I am down to the two family I live in and have my sister in the other unit. I was amazed at how some people treat their homes when I had other rentals. Even when I rented back in the day I always kept the place like I owned it.
Pip I am just in awe about the number of miles. Superwoman.
Love the pics. Congratulations to all the graduates. Hugs to anyone who may need one.

(((Chris in MA))) So sorry the job has not turned out to be what you expected. It sounds awful and I hope the pressure lets up soon.

Chris - thanks for posting. Sounds horrific!
Just heard from DDIL that we can go up to London on Thursday to see the grandchildren.
She said that they are also very shocked and upset by the referendum.
Love Heather1 -
Chris, thanks for popping in and letting us know how you are. Sorry about your job and the fact that they weren't entirely truthful with you but so glad you are with your guy.
Back really bothering me still. I think it really bothers me the most on Saturday nights so it makes it hard for me to go to church. I even pulled out my heating pad to use in bed last night.
DVR'd men's gymnastics last night. Really want to watch it but DH is watching golf. I guess I could venture down to his man cave and watch it down there. But yet the show will stay on the DVR and the results won't be any different whether I watch it this afternoon or tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I have my appointment with dentist. Hopefully I can try on my partial plate for the first fitting!!!!

We're watching the DVR recording of last night's baseball game...the announcer just told us the pitcher's height and weight and it made me very grateful that I've never earned my living doing something where someone will announce my height and weight to an audience.

Chris in MA – Are you SERIOUS about the job? That’s ‘criminal’. Have you ‘thought’ about reporting them to the Labor Department? In GA, by law, if you work over 40 hours; they have to pay you overtime (at time-and-a-half). Weekends, maybe the same, work on ‘holidays’ (double time). Women chained to their desks; are you being sarcastic? Electric monitor? WHAT have you done? Committed ‘murder’ or something? My @$$ would be 'gone' (if I had anything to do with it). GEEZ, I would have been 'gone' the first week; and, 'flip burgers' if I had to and/or get a 2nd job if I had to in order to pay my bills. Nobody should have to put up with that type of abuse.

Happy Sunday all of you! Husband went and fetched the Sunday newspaper this morning. First time in a long while, so I got to sleep in. This is what I awoke to:
The vase is one I acquired by drinking (sampling) my way thru the local breweries here on the coast. The Visitors Center then let me choose different mugs. I liked this one. So the rose he bought me goes with it beautifully! Along with a flower he bought me my favorite chocolate. I have portioned a bit for my evening treat! He spoils me so, but he said it was for being so understanding the last month. I think I will keep him forever.

Becca ~ What a sweetheart your hubby is!
We've had the roof checked at the rental house and they do not think it is hail damage.
Just time to replace.
DnL said she would help me paint so i have to get the colors thought out and gather the equipment.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Afternoon Ladies,
MicheleNC, ya know how you read things and silly things pop in your head? Well I read about your pain pills that you didn’t take after having the teeth pulled, but Vince did. I was wondering if he had sympathy pains for you?
Beth, beautiful family! Happy for you that the graduation is over.
Lisa, glad your DH got the week off. Ya’ll have a ball.
Heather, I join all our other friends here in wishing there were something we could do to ease your misery. I just hate to see you so upset even though I understand. ((((Hugs))))
Barbie, “DUCK”!!! I think I see a lawnmower hurling through the air????
Chris, that is the pits about working such horrendous hours at straight pay. I do hope things improve soon. Glad PB is sticking around.
Joyce, I hope the plate fits perfectly on the first try.
Becca, I love the rose. I do think that is my favorite color!! I think he is a keeper, too. Great picture of your son and wife.
Allie, I get the impression that you are ready to hit the road! I hope you have a fabulous time.
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
It’s been such a busy couple of weeks that today has been a veg day. DH and I took Pepper(poodle) for a ride this morning looking at all the geese on the ponds around the neighborhoods. Yesterday I saw a mother duck and two different groups of ducklings on each side of her that must have had 12 or 15 in each group. They weren’t anywhere to be found today. Tomorrow it’s back to the gym.
.Sending love and good thoughts to all of you and I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy Day!
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ

Those were my tomatoes last year....only had a couple of really good ones, most were rotten on the underside. Not enough heat on the coast here!1

DJ~Yep, I am amazed by the way he handles everything. With good humor, positive outlook, and acknowledgement that you can't let things you have no control over you, bother you. Becca0

Hi Gals,
A bit more reading…. Pages 57 –61
Welcome hermosacita
Heather – Love the all bran story!
Vickie – welcome home, we are family you are welcome back, and we all have some members of the family that don’t check in as often but are loved when they check in – you are one.
Karen - Please at least tell a bit about some of these good recipes and then offer to pm…as while I get that others find them tempting, I read so many recipes for all the things I cook for that I am rarely tempted and love the new choices.
Heather, and others – I am with you on a box cake mix for a cake, but they are rather convenient as a base
Alison – I am so glad you talked to Dr. Ho…
Lisa – sorry 1 day a month is not really much more that a piece of paper with the word marriage on it…
Becca and others - So remember I am not a mom, I am a hugger and hug my nieces and nephews when I can, but my mom is not into physical affection at all… so about twice a year I’ll get a hug (I see her every 3 weeks or so) and it is the type where just arms and shoulders touch and it takes 10 seconds from the first lean to the done…. I’ve always thought she was odd, but you ladies are confirming it.
Heather – sorry to hear of all the noise, and of the uk election results… a interesting road ahead.
June Goals
1 fun thing a week, graduation, visiting with Vickie, working in Eden garden, sailing in the pacific ocean
Log everyday to the best I can, over if need be.
11,000 + steps everyday
Smiles.

Can finally take a deep breath and relax. Wedding festivities have came to an end. Was easy to stay on track since my new Ddil is a healthy eater so there were so many healthy options. Danced the calories away. Little sad my DD father can not accept her for who she is. His lose though she has turned out to be an amazing woman.
Becca great pic. They look so young. Your DH is so sweet.

Becca – Sweet husband. Tomatoes look delicious! Our tomato lady did this past year; her husband picked what had developed; but, he isn’t going to do it this year. Those were “Sarah’s tomatoes”; so I guess we’ll have to get some from the stand down on the highway.

Leaving this job is not an option, flipping burgers would not even pay the mortgage even if I had 4 flipping jobs. I hope it settles down or one of my other prospects comes thru. I have to make the most of what I have to work with.
Thank you all for the support, it really, reallly means a lot. Wow, I posted twice in one day, things are looking up already!
Chris in MA3 -
Kim ... My mom and dad were not huggers either when I was growing up ... Personal spaces very well defined. It's taken me years to get used to our hugging culture. Although I hug my sons and husband liberally.
Heather ... I don't understand all the ramifications of Britains decision ... Sorry you are upset.
Karen NY ... Loved your graduation pic! Lots of anxiety on my part about Sons future... Heck I'm worked up about the orientation in July! My son deals with anxiety all the time, but now that HS is over seems more relaxed about college? He's met his roommate online already... Communicates through Facebook with others in his program . .. Some of the unknown is being erased. The school has orchestrated a lot of this. But realizing my baby is moving 800 miles away has me awake at night.
Becca ... I don't think I'd make a good military/navy mom!
Joyce ... Sons dad picked a tie out of his closet. I didn't realize it matched the gown until after I saw the pics!
Allie ... I missed what the dentist had to say ... Going back now in the posts.

Did about 1-1/4 hr pilates DVD. Interesting...next time I'll finish the DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do one more segment of the Butt Lift DVD, hold my plank and then take the extremepump class.
Beth - congrats on the graduation. You look so very proud -- and you should be
Joyce - sounds like you did well at CB.
Linda/IA - gorgeous pool and setting!
Say - I'm going to make a salad for this lady who lost her husband to ALS. Does anyone have a quick salad that I can make? I'll probably make a key lime cake and give her half of it (a person can only eat so much cake). She lost her husband in early June and I figure by now she's probably finished most of the casseroles people give you when someone in your family passes away. It being so hot, I was thinking that a salad would be better to make. I would like it to have meat in it.
katla - we're the same way. Have to check the calendar every day to see what we're scheduled to do....lol Between (just for me) going to mahjongg, going in my pool, ceramics (both of us), exercise, senior bowling (both of us), shooting (mostly Vince but sometimes me too), Newcomer socials if we can make them....seems time just flies
Just put an avocado in the refrig that had ripened. When I went to open the vege drawer, the avocado got caught and ripped open. I told you my veggie drawer was stuffed!
Going to the local community theater in a few hours.
KJ - sounds like you have a good plan. Don't you just hate it when the lawnmower doesn't do what it's supposed to do, especially when you need it. I feel for ya. Hope things work out for you. How I remember when our tractor broke down and I had to mow the entire yard with the self-propelled mower
pip - I'm in awe
Becca - what a sweet hubby you have there. You must have a sadistic side -- that tomato almost did me in
Chris - hoping things get better for you real soon
DJ - I don't think it's sympathy pains Vince has, he just has a VERY low tolerance for pain, and I do mean low. His father's reasoning was "you shouldn't be in pain because there are pain pills for that" I take as few pills as possible so we didn't really see eye-to-eye on that one
Anne - it is so good that there is another healthy eater in your family. Sure makes things a lot lot easier. Glad you had such a good time at the wedding

Still have not seen Bugs bunny back in the past 2 days. I'll give it a few more days of being Bugs free before I declare success.
I had a lot of strwberries ripen all at once so I got a nice harvest of strawberries. Strange - I usually have issues with the birds getting in them but not this year. I wonder if that funny pink flammigo I stuck in the patch has anything to do with it? For those who may not know what I am referring to, I've added a photo.
I have a flock of flammigos that regularly 'wander' into my neighbrs yard to announce a special occasion. Yeah, my neighbors still love me.
