They always like the most comfortable furniture, don't they?

Sophie is currently snuggled up on the wingback chair atop 3 pillows and the afghan all scrunched by her into a lumpy pile. When I die I want to be reincarnated as the dog at my house.

We are all our own wort critics, never happy with ourselves.

I look at a lady in the gym and wish I could have her body or her abs or hamstrings. In the meanwhile, a lady is looks at my body and thinks the same thing

Back from volunteering to man the bicycle corral at the Heart and Sole race in Chelsea. Incredibly inspiring. The winning runner for the 5K came in under 15 min! There were people with dogs. People with strollers. People who have Down's Syndrome. Young children and folks older than I. The bike corral was right at the finish line and I got to cheer for everyone crossing. I wasn't very happy getting up nearly 2 hours earlier than usual to do this. Now I am so glad I did. Seeing all those smiles and being able to congratulate some of those people has made my day.

Lanette I can imagine Sofie all cozy in all those pillows!!

Pip Love your dogs!!

Carol in GA Thank you! Those pictures were in the guest room. I posted one of our bedroom. It's not quite so charming but getting there one thing at a time. Paint is done behind the bed. It's still a work in progress.

Well Taliah's First Communion was lovely even though Kyle(Tals dad) didnt show up till the last minute... and my Ex came down with fever and chills and couldnt make it ..got some real cute pictures..
then found out that my best friend and her hubby ,and the rest of there family were up.. my best friends son is in the air force and will be getting out the end of the month.. well Sue and Bob drove up from N.C. with him and the rest of the family all came to Ct. went to the local bar where my other friend was playing(best friends brother) and brought Evan.. meanwhile Evans sister Lindsey had Amy (Evans girlfriend) with her and came in and suprised her with Evan, and then he got down on one knee and proposed... well darn if I missed out on all that.
But we got together with some of the crew this afternoon at the local park, I was able to spend an hour or so with them..Amy(Evans Fiance) graduated from College today with her Masters in Nursing Management..

High point of my day today was going out to breakfast with our friend Sue (Suebdew). Also got to meet her daughter, Lisa, who lives in a community southeast of me. Sue was in town for her grandson's graduation. She looks waaaaay younger than her 77 years, and has amazing vitality. When I asked what was her secret, she replied "I keep active and try to live every day fully". Then she shared some stories of when she nearly passed away, an experience that changed her outlook on life.

Speaking of keeping moving, my condo gym is switching from traditional locks to a timed key fob. Next week will be the final week I will be able to let myself into the gym at my preferred time of 5:15 AM. The new timer will not allow entry until 7:00 AM, so I'm going to need to find another gym because I'm too much of a creature of habit to change my workout time. WAAAAAAHHHH.

Pip: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :bigsmile:

Rita: I hope things improve day by day. (((hugs)))

Lanette: Dogs do seem to have a good life. We think their lives are free from worry and chronic fear. I wonder whether that is true. I hope so.

Mia: I am happy that you told us about the Heart and Sole race in Chelsea. What a great way to contribute to something positive. Congratulations!!!

Rori: You are the BEST! Congratulations to both you and Sue. Sorry about the new restrictions on the workout gym at your condo. If I were you I'd complain loudly and long. (Sometimes the squeeky wheel gets what it needs.) :bigsmile:


I went out to the stable today and watched a horse chiropractor in action. She did great work and the horse was so much more comfortable inside it's own skin. I could easily see how much pain had been released. The horse is obese, and her owner is a feeder. I don't foresee a speedy end to the problem. At least the horse is feeling better today. I liked the chiropractor. She is licensed for horses AND people, but enjoys working with horses more. I can understand that. :devil:

I'm home safely from a beautiful and fun day--ferry rides, driving through beautiful scenery on a lovely sunny day, a meeting with interesting people and thought provoking topics. One of the attendees was a youngish woman who lost 90 pounds after WLS and has kept it off for two years. It was interesting to see how and what she ate.


Got up at 3AM so now it's time for bed.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

Good Evening My Dear Friends,

M, I am sending healing vibes for you to feel better fast. Gentle (((Hugs)))

Heather, I have to laugh because you sound like me. First you were afraid that your DDIL would feel that you were moving too close…..now you are worried that she is unhappy you won’t be moving. You know things will work out fine. Just make it clear how much you love being there with the grands and to ask any time they want/need you and life will be grand for all concerned. (((Hugs))) *Gosh I’d love to get to meet you one day!!!*

Lisa, so happy your DH is back to somewhat of a normal life. *whatever that is?* I have to agree with you that anything that sounds like a “diet” with anything other than normal foods in healthy amounts just doesn’t work for many of us. I was so shocked when my bff’s doctor put her on one of those “diets” where you order the food. How normal is that? I hope she keeps the weight off. I also agree that whatever works for someone is great but I know what doesn’t work for me.

Chris, sorry it’s too hot there. Congrats on the skirt being too big. Don’t ya just love that!!!

Dana, that picture of the snow in May “just ain’t right”, as they used to say back home. Lol The 10 years we lived in Milwaukee early in our marriage, we loved the first good snow of the year. The problem was they just kept coming for too many months. Now if I never see snow again I’d be quite okay.

Kelly, your poor son with the chicken pox. OMG. I think I had a pretty bad case and still have some scars to this day.

CarolPA, welcome. This is a great place for support and information. If you come here daily and share what’s going on with you, we can help support you to do the right thing. I never over eat that I don’t think of my friends here, looking over my shoulder and shaking their heads. Lol Good luck to you.

CathyTX, welcome to you as well. Thanks for the great intro and the pic of your beautiful furbaby. Congrats on your loss so far and keep up the great work. Both of you please sign your name to each post to help those of us that are older and trying to keep up. Lol

Pip, so happy for you to have a windy day yesterday. I do remember from years before that you love riding in the wind.

Margaret, I have to hand it to you for doing what you do. I have so much more patience now than I did when I was younger but not for what you put up with at school. Thank goodness for teachers like you. (((Hugs)))

Mary, Go Mary, go Mary….your workouts still amaze me.

Katla, the hours chiropractor sounds very interesting. Glad you are going to watch. (later) Very interesting.

Dana, cool window. And Dolly looks soooo comfy!!!! I love the color of paint you chose for the bedroom.

Allie, sorry you missed the proposal but glad the christening went well.

Rori and Sue, love the picture and that ya’ll got to get together. Sue who is your wise looking friend that I thought was in your lap. Lol

Barbie, glad you had a good day. Hope you sleep well. I went to the Moose to help fold and stuff letters to prepare for mailing. I’m ready for bed too and I wasn’t up at 3. Nite nite

to all the Newbies. 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.

I totally acknowledge that my life is wonderful and I should never complain about anything, but I guess that is just not in my nature.  The mosquitoes this year are just terrible!!! We can’t even sit out on the screen porch with the dogs for fear of being carried away. But the lord is good and I can just take my *kitten* right inside the house.
Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.
I Love you
