Home relaxing now. I cancelled my plans to go to the meeting. Just too tired. I will go in June when we cook for the Ronald McDonald house. The mammogram wasn't bad at all. Just one pinch. Does anyone else think that the ones we used to get were a whole lot more uncomfortable than the ones we get now? Do they get just as…

Just a quick check in with y'all - Back down to the Y 20 miles away. Awesome yoga stretch class and a so-so water class. Next week I will do deep water instead. The thing that kept me out of that today is the temperature in the pool they use for deep water - just 80 degrees. Br-r-r-r. It is cold outside today and that…

Mary - Score! It would be great if the new folks would buy some of your stuff! Keep us posted! Pip - I agree about giving a new instructor a few chances, but this class was not my cup of tea and I can't envision it being much different than today. Too long a drive to be mediocre. I love the picture of the monkey feet. I…

Hello Menopals - Tried a new water class today. It was a bust. Not aerobic at all. The lady has taught for a long time but I swear that she was just making things up as she went along. I kept waiting for the real workout to begin and it never did! Won't do that one again. After having coffee my friend and I went to a…

Hope your Monday has been marvelous! My friend and I went to one of our Y's to Try today. It was a 7:00 am water class. Good workout - combo of toning, strength moves, and aerobics. We showered, prettied up, and hung out for coffee so we would miss the late rush hour people. We saw a fellow senior from our old coffee…

Ahhhhhh! All caught up! Didn't I recently say I would never get behind again? Never say never! I didn't take notes so not going to comment as much as usual. WELCOME NEW LADIES! This group is great. They never judge and are good listeners. I do much better when I check in with them daily. Someone asked about my Y closing…

Well hiiiiii! Been so busy working extra hours and pouting about my Y closing and the job ending. I am caught up to pg. 22 and will keep plugging away until I'm up with you all tomorrow. Sharon - Happy Birthday! I'm so sorry about your DH's health issues. Joyce - thinking of you and hubby. Mary - Booo, no transfer! Yeah,…

I slipped up and got behind. Caught up through pg. 14 this am. Didn't take notes..... Meg - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! Heather - I hope your trip is just what you're hoping it will be! Janet - Ditto about your cruise! Becca - I guess one good thing about going to a nudist resort - less packing! I messed up and backed into the…

Hello, hello - Janet - I forgot to say congrats on 50 pounds down. Have you lost all of that within a few months? Pip - Such a cute puppy picture. Hope the BDay was great! Lisa - I knew the ranch wasn't yours but I think of it as your little hundreds of thousands of acres place! Becca - Neat contest idea! We only have 12…

Hi all- I think summer has come to visit in middle Tennessee! We are expecting near record temps the next 3 days. Now on Memorial Day weekend it will probably be in the 50's. Becca - Congrats on the 3+ pound loss. I am a TOPS member, too, and the leader of our group. We do a pot of dimes for the biggest loser of the week…

Oh, yeah - forgot to say the church is on a big hill and the gym is on the 4th floor. This church was a smallish church when we moved here in 1981. It was the home church for the Judds. Don't know if they still contribute or not but it has always had wonderful music and worship. Full band, full choir - the whole nine…

Home from the the busy morning and movie anxious to check in with all of you - Our $2.00 movie theater shows movies that are just about to be released on DVD. They don't keep the bigger boxoffice movies more than a week so you have to jump on them and go or you will miss out. Now --- something like "Mall Cop" or a kids'…

Good morning - Katla - I'm a copycat. One of the other ladies came up with "Menopals". Was it you, Selena? Cynthia - I am so sorry about your mother. You are both in my prayers. With Mother's Day approaching, I am thinking of my own mom (with rather mixed feelings). She passed away when I was 29. I'm off to the gym for a…
-
Hi Menopals - Down another pound at TOPS! Yeah! Tomorrow and Wednesday some of my Y friends and I are going to new Y's to try out their workouts. I hope to make a really smooth transition when my branch closes on the 15th. Sylvia - I don't like change either but it is the only certainty in life. It always happens. We can…

Hi gals - Had a good day at work today. We were a little busier than last Sunday. Got home and hubby had cooked the meal I had ready to pop in the oven. SWEET. Had too many calories today but they were all healthy. Hope my weigh in won't be up because of it. I am at my lowest weight in about 13 years and I want to keep…

Good evening friends - It is so exciting to see some newbies jump right in and join us! Please keep coming by for a chat when you are celebrating, ranting, or want to encourage others. Had a productive day working on cleaning out and organizing part of the garage. My husband's grandmother built this old wooden cupboard (…

Happy May! I am just checking in to report on and set my goals for now: April Goals BP and BS every day – THIS IS REALLY BECOMING A HABIT! Log every bite and swallow – NOT AS ACCURATE AS I SHOULD BE, BUT BETTER! Contact 3 teacher friends each week – KIND OF FAILED ON THIS Walk 6,000 steps each day – NOT THERE YET, BUT…

Hi all you great gals - Home from work and have my feet up with kitty and laptop in my lap. A bit crowded but oh so pleasant. I've enjoyed your posts today. Margaret - love the flower art pictures Sylvia - you do so much! No wonder you are a little burned out! Heather - glad you are home. All those yummy fish dishes are…
-
Home from work - I am so proud of myself for keeping up with all of you. No more marathon catch up weekends for me! Pip - if anyone in this group will make it to 100 it is you! I think your idea of doing the 1/2 marathon is a good one. If you would not have to prepare much wouldn't that be reward in itself? WOW I cannot…
-
ooPS - accidently hit "Post" ...ride that coaster! No way, Jose! Allison - call me "kid" anytime. Pip - Vegas trip sounds fun. I would love to see you but you need to let Kirby monopolize your time in July. Do you really mean it will be your last trip anywhere ever?????? What if you live to 125? Just sayin' Lisa - loved…

Good morning - Home for a bit after proctoring and chillin' until I leave for work at 12:00. Thanks for the well wishes on our anniversary. I snuck hubbies card into the bathroom so he would find it when he got up in the middle of the night. It had a frog couple on it (I collected frogs when I taught and still have a few).…

Hi MENOPALS – (Selena, that’s a good one!) I left the house at 5:30 this morning to work out. Then went to my old school to help proctor for the achievement test. Rushed home to cook our dinner (lunch). Then off to work until 7:30. Busy day for this spoiled retired lady. I’m sure it was still only a fraction of what…

Welcome newbies - please stick with us. Tell us more about yourself and sign your post for those of us sextagenarians (word???) who are way more forgetful than you young ones! Vegas is sounding even more interesting now that Terri mentioned the swimming pools! While you all are walking your invisible dogs and Pat walks…

Hello gals, I have quickly read through 40+ posts and didn't take notes. Was it Kim who asked where I went to high school? I grew up in central Kansas. Went to HS there. I moved to TN after I married a southern guy in 1981. I have a sister in Kansas that I visit once a year now. She has metastatic breast cancer. I would go…
-
Kim - Since you are the cook, you get to set the day and time. Just remember I am used to eating on Central Daylight Time. Yanniejannie - I'll be watching for you to come get me for the trip out west. A friend and I made a pact to go to our 50th HS reunion in 2017. She lives in Washington state. I think I would really…

Bingo was fun! I won a green flower pot and a small crocheted cross! JANET - I hope your birthday was as wonderful as you are! I have been thinking of you today. TNToni

Hello everyone! So far I am doing well keeping up with you. Yeah ME! Carol - I hope the treatments help your bursitis. My husband has had 4 rotator cuff repairs and none of them have been very satisfactory. Hopefully your inflammation will subside soon. Sylvia - I love your idea about the water. Why don't you get to work…
-
Evening all - Sylvia - so glad your son is home. Sounds like you made a good contact! Kim - I'd love to come for dinner anytime! Barbie - hubby's soup sounds yummy. Janet - I thought since Terri wins so many contests she must have a "special gift". Thought a little luck might rub off. Heather - The only experience I have…

Good day friends - I've really enjoyed the posts about the hummingbirds and the pictures are marvelous! My sister and I have a hummingbird "thing". Once when I was totally rock bottom we were on the phone together and I went out on my porch to talk. Sis felt so bad for me and just at that moment a little hummer came near…

High all, Sylvia – I am so glad your son is better. I second what everyone is saying about getting legal things in place – especially important for those kids. I am so glad you posted your picture. I see a trim, healthy, happy, beautiful friend. Clean your glasses! Selena – It sounds like you have a wonderful attitude…
