Hi everyone!!!!
Did I have fun yesterday. It's been so long since I've done anything fun.......but it came right back to me!
My cousin called and said "lunch" So I got dressed and we went to Red Lobster. Then went shopping. Then stopped by the local ice cream stand. Going home we passed the "Splash Pad" It's a little water park for the kiddies in my neighborhood. Water jets, hoops, Pipes shaped like sunflowers with shower heads...that kind of thing. It was running and kids were playing so I says, Hey Paula....Wanna? So we did. Yes, I was wearing a skirt and cami but did not make a bit of difference to me. It was SO much fun!!!! Soaking wet we sat on the bench to dry off a bit.
I will say one thing though......don't wear cotton skirts if you are gonna play in the water. Yeah, it went see though....and we were getting some strange looks. Or should I say I was getting the looks? Paula had on capris and a teeshirt.
I believe that it is Good to act silly now and then....keeps one feeling young!0 -
TA: I figured out how to bookmark that spreadsheet but will have to sit and read thru the thread again as I'm a little confoosed (nothing new there lol) thanks for sharing it! Did you see there's a recipe thread for teachers who are struggling to figure out lunches they can take in?
Hey Lady, no I didn't see that I haven't had much time this weekend. We had a great service today at church and then I went to PIZZA HUT with my sister and brother in law. I made GOOD choices and ate ONLY SALAD. There was a weee bit of I want pizza but when I thought of the fat and sodium that changed my mind :happy: After that I walked, shopped, and came home and shelled butter beans and peas for the rest of the day !!! I will be looking the thread up :drinker:
It's going to be a busy week this week. I am heading to the classroom tomorrow to work on getting it ready. Mainly going to make a list of needs and then head out to do some shopping. Hoping to get it done Tuesday. Then the hubby and I are heading out for some us time Wednesday to Memphis before school starts. Of course he has class while there but we are taking a couple of extra days so won't be returning until Sunday.
So as you can read I am not sure how much I will be able to post this week but my thoughts will be here and I will be reading !!!0 -
TA have a safe trip and enjoy yourself.
mem5o that sound like fun. I could see myself doing something like that.
Kathy take care of yourself, I know about feet problem. My husband has made fun of my shoes for years.
Snoozie you are the greatest cheerleader we have. take care of your eyes.
I am like a lot of other people on here. I have been MIA. I would read what people have posted. but not take time to post myself.
Everyone have a healthy week.0 -
Missing all the mad hatters so much – am trying so hard to only be on puter for logging and quick reads; until the final checkup next week… specially because of having to be on puter so much at work; I’ve been very good about wearing a patch there but it’s a bit of a struggle to get things done, even with kicking up the zoom. Even harder not to be glued to the Hatters though!
So instead of yapping, I want to spend my time catching up and get a few replies in to all the wonderful Hatters:
Charip: sounds like you had a really rough week … I hope you’re feeling a little better by now? I know you may be disappointed about having gained a little back, but we’re trying to change a lifetime of habit, it isntt going to happen overnight…we’re all going to have our moments…but remember this time you have the Hatters to help pick you up, dust you off and walk right alongside you on the path back.. its just a bump – you WILL get through it!
Mem – loved your post.. yes absolutely a great idea!! I got soaked by a sprinkler one day on my walk.. and went back under it just for the heck of it.. course I wasn’t wearing a cotton skirt LOL! I’m also a big fan of puddle jumping after a rain storm!
TA: huge IPOU on the PH choices!!! Woo hoo! So glad to hear about date night.. or days lol.. hope you and hubby have an awesome time in Memphis – and burn a few calories somehow.. (evil grin)
Cheryl! Was lovely to see you… we’re happy to have lurkers (laughing at Tonya saying she did that for a few before joining in) but always so much better to hear from everyone when they can.. so thanks for taking the time! Love hearing from ya!
Merobi: thought of you this morning at the lake as there were a lot of individual cyclists out early this morning… all happy looking campers they were and as each one went by I thought “betcha Merobi would be cycling her little heart out here if she could lol”
I’m not sure where to post this right now, I think I actually missed a thread so going to pop back to the group and see what’s up.. hoping Tonya is having a great time on vacation and everyone else is doing okay… I can’t WAIT to be able to get back to chatting.. miss you guys so much!0 -
:flowerforyou:
I didn't wanna post a regular thing on Fishburn's get well thread... but now I'm a little lost lol.... is everyone okay if I start a new topic page for tomorrow morning?0 -
Hey everyone It looks like everyone has been busy enjoying the summer.
T what fun you will have organizing for next year. I allways find it fun doing something like that.
mem 50 what fun & look at the price less memory you have. Did you take any pictures?
Charpi, back in the game & that's what counts. You will be surprised at how quickly you will loose it. I gained 2 lb back in June when I went on a cruise, but then took 3 off within a week of being back on track.
Snooozie, as allways glad to hear from you & see you are following Dr's orders about puter time.
My foot seems to be feeling a little better I have been doing lots of streching, taking Aleve & got some orthodics for my sneakers. ( I do have good propperly fit sneakers, but notice a diffrence with the extra padding and support) I have not run on it yet, but went for a gentle 2.4 mile walk this AM (not my usual jog or power walk) and tonight a 5 mile bike ride. I want to keep moving, but do not want to risk any major injury.
Well have a fabulous evening everyone.0 -
WAY to turn things around Bis!!! and so smart to be starting off easy again - glad to hear you're feeling better and IPOU for being such a smart HATTER!!0

Three NSV in one day !!!
#1 First when leaving to work in my classroom this morning I got in the van this morning my daughter looked at me and said "I think you're going to have to buy some new clothes" Me"Why" Daughter " Cause that shirt is so baggie and you look like you are wearing parachute pants your pants are so big " :laugh:
#2 Today I met with a lady to try on some used clothing she had for sale on a local swap shop page on fb. I purchased lots of jackets and tops to get me through the next months. BUT the most amazing thing happened the first jacket I had ask about did not fit it was toooooooooooooooooooooo BIG !!! I can not remember the last time I couldn't buy something b/c it was to larger rather than to small. ( I got about $500 worth for $95 !!! yeah me, I didn't figure there was any need to spend big money when these are just passing through sizes !!!!)
#3 Now while trying the tops and jackets on my sister said well that would probably look good but you really are going to have to buy some new bras for the girls, your bra is to big to do the job !!!:bigsmile:
Now just 2 more pounds and I am smaller than that ex !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehe0 -
Great NSV's TA! I bet you feel great!0
