    Went to the deep water class today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Karen Voit’s Sleek Essentials DVD.

    Kim – your goddaughter sounds like a very ambitious girl. You’re right, I don’t think that guy is going to be for her. How great that you were there for her!

    Papisgirl and Susi (love the spelling of your name) and Jena – welcome!

    Rebecca – so glad to hear that you’re doing well.

    Exercised, then stopped at the Salvation Army. Got this set of Correlleware dishes (the bowls are so hard to come by) for Jess if she needs it. I have them in my dishwasher right now washing and when we go to storage to put her bed, we’ll put them in storage, too. It’s nice out today, much less humid, think I’ll go in the pool.

    Tracey – unfortunately, they didn’t have what I am looking for. It seems that they only have a facebook page and there was one thing that I thought was interesting but there wasn’t any stock number or way to identify it. I wonder who made the mold? I asked the lady. Wonderful story about your walk

    Karen in VA – happy birthday!

    Jena – great weight loss

    Vicki – my heart goes out to you. Join me in the “I’ve got sore knees from praying so much” group

    Went in the pool, had dinner, then ceramics. Since they don’t have enough of the paint I need for the crab, I started on the flamingoes. They should go pretty fast, it’s mostly pink. Stopped at Lowes foods and then to pick up the umbrella I forgot. Now home, colored my roots, here and will probably watch a little TV then hit the hay.

    Janetr - Great look! :DB)

    Got out of the house by 5.52 am. Beautiful run. I listened to True Colours and L'Aprés Midi d'une Faune.
    True Colours is one of my favourite songs. I once taped it and sent it to a boyfriend. :o The colours I saw on my run were a woman running in hot orange trainers, a guy with a white beard driving a bright red VW Beetle, and the bright yellow of a patch of St John's Wort.
    For the Debussy, I actually saw a deer on the road ahead of me. It trotted off into the copse. :D:D:D:D

    I've washed my hair and I'm now to get ready and finish packing. DH is getting in some minutes in the exercise room.

    Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx
    Sending love to Lisa and hoping all goes well tomorrow.

    Michele What is the pattern of the Corelle? I know you mentioned it once, but I don't remember.

    Janetr You look absolutely fabulous! You must be so happy with your "second wind" success. Wowza!

    Rye I think you are needing (((hugs))) the last couple of days. Sending them.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes!

    Karen in NY - hope the squirrel problem gets fixed. I just thought of something. We use something called "Liquid Fence" at our house to keep bunnies from chewing on the trunks of newly planted trees, the garden, etc- and I mist it over the green bean plants and tree leaves to keep the deer away. It smells like rotten eggs when first applied. I get it by the gallon and it comes with an applicator - you can squirt a jet of this for quite a ways. I don't know if squirrels are deterred by rotten eggs but they might be....other thing would be wasp spray which squirts up to 20 feet, keep the wood where they are gnawing saturated with this stuff. It's nasty and if I were a squirrel I don't think I'd want to be chewing on wood saturated with that stuff. Yours might be kinky tho. B):#

    You and Katla have had quite an ordeal with unwanted varmints!

    Rye - I am sending lots of COOL hugs your way. Those broken toes take their time, don't they, especially when we have to keep walking!

    Janetr     - Looking mahvelous! Thanks for poppin in and getting us caught up!

    Carol - my DH used to be the worst like that too, especially in city and freeway traffic. I wonder if putting in earbuds and listening to music or watching a movie would help you?

    Keep cool ladies!

    Rye Ouch. Broken toes are such a nuisance. Makes me grateful for my pedestrian feet.

    KarenNY We had a couple of very determined squirrels in our attic that we finally ousted with the help of a strobe light and a high frequency sound emitter that I found online (don't ask me - it's been too long ago). Once they vacated the premises, we tried steel wool, wood nailed over the entry points, and finally metal mesh over the gnawed areas. They had chewed on some wires that had to be replaced. Fire hazard! They ruined two kayaks we had tied up for the winter under our deck, chewed right through them. We have two outdoor rockers made from recycled milk jugs and they have gnawed on the arms until they are completely grooved. Very tenacious, adaptable little creatures. I just couldn't go with the exterminator, who wanted to charge a lot of money to put down sticky paper. I couldn't bear the thought of that. Most of the time the intruder is a pregnant female who is determined to find a safe place to nest.

    Carol Your fight with your husband reminds me of an ad I saw on TV recently for our local weather and traffic channel, where some children are being interviewed, and one little boy reported that when his mom gets cut off in traffic, she calls the other driver a "knucklehead". Too bad your husband doesn't have a small child in the car with him...(((hugs))). I have noise canceling headphones so I would not give up my trip, but would don my headphones and listen to music, podcasts, etc. I hope you get to go. Maybe you could fly or take a train?

    Thank you for all my birthday wishes!

    Karen: I think I missed wishing you a happy birthday. Happy Birthday!

    Lanette: We had terrible varmint problems winter before last when raccoons decided to move in under our house. Hopefully that will not happen again. We have serious heavy-duty metal vent covers to keep them out, now. :grumble: We had a swallow nest in our garage soffit a few years ago, but have that sealed up quite well now, too, and have also had yellow jacket nests in the past. I have some sympathy for the critters since humans are taking up so much land with our cities and towns, but not enough sympathy to sacrifice my home to them. :noway:

    Allie: I've never heard of memory pillows like the ones you made with your dad's shirts. What a wonderful idea! :star:

    Carol in GA: Could you and DH take separate cars to see your DGD? The anger you are talking about when your DH drives sounds worrisome. I don't blame you for wanting to avoid riding with him. :noway:

    NYKaren: We had heavy duty metal screens installed over every single vent under our house to deter raccoons. Nobody has gotten under there again. :noway: Critters were trying to den under our deck and we put packets of mothballs at the edges there. I staple them to the underpinnings of the deck. Nothing with fur wants to be anywhere they can smell those mothballs. I wonder whether something similar could work against your squirrels. Good luck. :star:

    JanetR: You look fabulous. If I've said it before, it bears repeating. :smiley:

    Rita: Your DH is quite the daredevil. I'm glad he wasn't hurt. :flowerforyou:


    We are working on the curtains that hang in the bedroom of our Bounder. They need attention and we're having fun fixing them up. DH is the one with the upholstery skills.

    Weigh your food, do not measure-weigh your food, dadgummit WEIGH your food!!!

    Reading Dr. Mosely's blood sugar diet, on a whim I weighed the "teaspoon" of honey I add to my morning tea.
    GAAUGGGHHHHH! It weighed in at a hefty 16 ml, a hair over 1 TABLESPOON equivalent. Double checked the next cup of tea. 14 ml. So my daily 4 teaspoons of honey have really been 4 TABLEspoons of honey, three times as much as I've logged.

    Knowledge is power but in this case it's a real facer. Gonna consider going back to my cider vinegar, hot water, collagen protein and 1 TBSP honey breakfast drink then switch to good ol' H20 for the rest of the morning.
    Fooey.

    Only through pg 49 but had to post this and get it off my belly, uh, er, chest ;)

    pip "fired the gm" K-Rap! Yep that's one of the things, it means: OT instead of gym :sad: :'(
    Lanette, sorry you have me confused with someone who is succeeding at low carbs. Wish it were me but alas I'm so sweet addicted... :astonished:
    Allie have you given Alfie a Kong filled with melted cheese or peanut butter? Is he already crate trained? If not, putting him in one will be perceived as punishment. Better to start with the door open and yummy treats hidden inside. When he willingly goes in, give him lots of praise. Sorry to preach, you probably have all this down already ;)
    CJ and Mary (((hugs)))
    Rita your day trip to area 51 sounds great... except for the "ET" burgers :sick:
    Rebecca you look remarkably radiant for the ordeal you've been through. Brava for knowing your body well enough to talk the nurse through scar tissue to vein. :noway::sick: blearg.
    Machka your title to the beautiful beach pic brought tears. Continued intentions of healing and strength to you both.
