Back to the gym after our rock festival weekend. I took yesterday off to rest. Today I did 50 minutes Elliptical followed by 40 minutes of arms/shoulder training. Tomorrow I'll have to opt for another DVD session as we have an appointment to purchase a car early afternoon. I despise doing this. I owned my first SUV for 12 years, the second for 14 years, it's that time again *sigh*. Excited, then again not. Know what I mean? Exercise helps keep me in a good mood. Going to need a lot of it! LOL

Dana, I’m so sorry about your daughter’s house and her job situation, the amount of damage is just awful, South Georgia is pretty bad, too, around Lenora’s neck of the woods. I hope she checks in soon. My cousin’s house in Port St Joe is also uninhabitable. Another cousin hooked her family up with a camper so that they aren’t completely homeless.

My new red winter coat arrived today. It's from L.L. Bean and all the reviews say that it's perfect for winter in Maine. Since it was 60 degrees when the coat arrived, the coat seemed excessive, but it will be perfect for dog walking from November to March.7

Did the Slim in 6 DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class.
Denise called yesterday while I was at mahjongg. Seems she “has something for us” and wants to Skype today. Since Vince has to go to the eye doctor, we told her anytime between 1 and 4. Vince thinks it’s to tell us she’s pg. In a way I hope not. They need to get more financially set first. But then again, this is probably what Maria wants. Well, we shall see what this “something” is. When they called the other day, Pete talked about how they were looking at townhomes and there was one that he could get qualified for. I’m thinking that Dave (the father) is sick of them and the dog living there and so they’re probably giving Denise and Pete money towards this townhome. Now, Denise hasn’t mentioned anything at all about it.
For some reason, I just could not sleep last night. I guess I finally fell asleep around 4, but then was up at 6 to exercise
M – good for you getting “me” time!!!!
Newcomers: Sandi just emailed Adra, Greg and myself saying that she can’t be webmaster. Now previously Greg indicated that he wanted to phase out because he had other commitments. If that’s the case, Adra really doesn’t have the knowledge to be webmaster and I know I don’t. If Greg is going to be webmaster, I’m out of membership. I was planning to be out but after talking to Sandi decided to stay on for her, she’s a really nice person. But I was WAY too hurt before so if Greg is going to do it, I’m out. I think he told Adra that if someone updates the website it will automatically update the mail list. The two are independent. It could probably be done with a lot of custom coding, which Greg doesn’t have the knowledge to do. He had this “wonderful” idea that members would input their own information. He felt that we shouldn’t have to do it. In a perfect world that’s the case. But I’ve been doing this too long and know that a lot of members won’t do it. Besides, we ask for information on the application that they fill out and then we ask them to input the exact same information? Not going to happen. So we shall see what happens…
Rori – maybe you’re right. Denise and Pete are looking forward to us coming up there. Perhaps I should just be the bigger person.
Yup, we talked to Denise and Pete. She is pg. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I guess I wish they had waited until at least they had a house. I just can’t believe that after being together for 13 years, she didn’t get pg. But less than a year after they are married and living with his parents, she gets pg. I have a feeling they were trying. It’s hard knowing that Bryan knew even before us, so did Maria, she’ll get to see Denise all the time as her belly is growing – I won’t. She’s due around May 11 or 12. My MIL’s birthday was May 10. As a middle name for if it is a girl they’re going to use MIL’s name and FIL’s for the middle name if it’s a boy. I guess I just need to process this all.
Went to Rummikub tonight.

Oh Michele so happy you are going to be a grandma. You will be a wonderful grand parent.
Still raining and river still rising. Didn’t feel well enough to go to Y with DH. Maybe tomorrow.

I’m still around and watching what I eat.
My daughter was in Hurricane Michael and it was terrifying for her and the kids. Her house is uninhabitable, no utilities and no job. She’s staying in Destin with friends and enrolled the kids in school there. She’s just getting thru applications with FEMA and the insurance company.
Pray for them!
Dana In Arkansas
So sorry!
I hope the insurance side of things comes through really quickly.

Lol. Sorry, it did sound like an old great-grandma chastising a youngin !!! I tried to delete it but was too late. I'll blame it on this great-grandma being worn out after a day of shopping, laughing and lunch with her married granddaughter.
Am I forgiven?
Janetr OKC8 -
Janetr Those are seriously adorable pictures of you in that fascinator & with your granddaughter! I had to chuckle that the great-grandmas stick together, LOLOLOL!!! So who are all the great-grandmas on this thread, anyway? Inquiring minds want to know!
Old picture of me in a fascinator I made for Halloween one year (also notice the skull earrings):
Karen in Virginia4 -
Ah, what a lift for my Wednesday morning... fascinators are... well, fascinating, funny and fabulous! Thank you for that, Karen in VA and JanetR in OK! Love them for some weird reason, but the only hat I wear is a baseball cap on occasion now and I wore a broad-brimmed Stetson (cowboy hat) in my misspent youth. You both look lovely, and JanetR, your granddaughter is fabulous as well... Such happy faces to wake up to, this morning.
Michele, congratulations on the new grandbaby to come!
Not a great-grandma, but I didn't get my kids until they were 15 and 17, and I married their dad when I was 49, so I started a little late. If I survive until then, I should be somewhere around 70 when my first great-grandchild comes along.
Had a few days of being good with my eating, so the scale is being nice to me again. Lost three pounds (of the total of four I had recently gained back) since Monday morning. Started back to an old habit (a good one for a change!) that, during the long phone call meetings, unless I'm looking at a document on my computer, I walk. Put in more than two miles just walking around in the house during phone calls yesterday, and ran out the seven-hour battery on my headset, but it's helping. Also found out that if I move breakfast to 11 a.m., I do better all day, eating-wise. Being crazy busy helps too.
And, today is moving day! First of four (or five if necessary). Tried to schedule this out so I don't just get utterly exhausted, one room a day, and then some work in the mountain house in the afternoons, after I get the morning's truckload unloaded (with my son's help) and placed in the new house.
Made my husband's lunch for work, got his coffee ready, almost done with my first cup of coffee, and checked in with y'all, so my day is off to a good start!
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR6 -
lisa. Happy, stress free moving day.
Happy it is Wednesday! I love my teaching day on Wednesday! Silly but true
Autumn is a happy season for me, I am taking care of myself and my DH. And it makes me feel very fortunate.

Amazed I slept! But I did and was only awake reading in the night for half an hour. Woke up to DH's birthday.
We are going to have tonight's starter for lunch, scallops and chorizo. That will spread out the calories a bit.
Heard from our agents today that the buyer's solicitors are going to tell them that our completion date is the one.
I have emailed our solicitors to tell them that. Hope exchange happens today and I can book the removal. I will need to send them 10% deposit, which is why I haven't been able to confirm. I have been quite stressed waiting to hear this morning, but I'm calmer right now. I still did my exercises. Found the push ups a great way to use up spare adrenaline.
Just have to let the lawyers do their stuff now.
Thank you my friends for bearing with me through all this. I feel I have been very boring, but it has helped me to get it out there.
LOVING the fascinators and the beautiful women under them! :bigsmile:
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

Good morning all! Happy Wednesday! A little on the groggy side this morning as I my hubby woke me at 3:30 this morning to talk to our son. Pretty sure he (our son) was having a panic attack. When I got to him, he was in the kitchen with his hands over his eyes and crying, a little bit of shaking, and in typical male style; didn't want to talk about it. Hubby left the room and I told my son to sit down across from me. So he sat and I just held him, rocked him, and rubbed his back and arms. It took about 30 minutes to get things under control and get him relaxed enough to get some sleep. Beyond the initial questions of "Are you in pain? What did you eat? What did you drink?, etc" I didn't ask any other questions about the cause. I figure we can talk about it when he is not mid-anxiety attack. SO...he fell asleep and I couldn't get back to sleep. No matter how big our kids get, we still lose sleep over them, don't we? Which brings me to Michele!
Michele- You and I seem to be going through things along the same time line. Our daughters getting married and our ambivalence to that; she/they living far away and closer to her new inlaws, then those daughters getting pregnant and sorting our feelings about that. We all know how my daughter's pregnancy turned out and how it made me do a complete 180 with my perspective on how she is living her life. I am going to sincerely pray/wish for you what I have found in this longdistance mom/grandma relationship. Peace. I want you to find joy in the fact that Denise is in this world, has a safe/stable "place" with Pete while they get on their feet financially and begin a family. I think you need to take advantage of any time that you are able to spend with them, getting to know her as a new wife and mother, maybe even getting to know Maria a little better. Sometimes people are different when the pressure of "event" planning is done. IF you ever want to talk, feel free to message me or email me. I totally get where you are at right now; I just don't want you to miss anything or deny yourself of time with Denise/baby because of bad feelings toward some one else or the situation. Sending you lots of love
Janet and Karen VA- lol LOVE the Halloween "fascinators"! We should have a selfie challenge of ourselves in the local Halloween aisle all decked in festive gear. We don't have to buy anything; just decorate ourselves! You both are so cute!
Suebdew- Hope you are feeling a bit better and I hope that amount of rain/water doesn't hurt your beautiful pecan grove! I have been watching the Texas temps drop! I think it might be colder there than here in Michigan!
Lisa- Happy moving day! I am so excited for you finally getting into the mountain house and getting settled! Woo-hoo!
Well, I have kiddo number one sitting across from me eating a pancake; so I better fly. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)10
