It is impossible to hit snooze and sleep a bit later when the dogs know that, upon rising, they'll get to go out and then have breakfast. The moment that alarm goes off, they're frantic with happy anticipation. Lily was literally running all over the bed, all over both Jim and me, licking our faces. "No" was not convincing…

Good morning! Raine, I'm praying now for you and Tom. So much love to you! Dave, I LOVED that photo you posted of the hazy mountain ... wow. Totally gorgeous. Lou, how FUN! Where do you go to do that, and what is it called? We took Jim's kayaks out for the first time this weekend, and had a really nice time. Let's see ...…

"Unintended consequences" <-- that phrase would make a great topic of discussion in pretty much any forum. I was super-busy yesterday, too, and didn't check in. Sheesh, there were a bajillion people at the WW workshops! I saw around 230 yesterday. It's nice to see numbers back up. Nothing too exciting today. I did my…

Skip, remember that scene from Caddyshack? Ha! Jaws theme playing in the background and all. Lee, you take care of yourself in that heat! We love you, and there are a lot of living beings who need you. Raine, enjoy your kayaking! We're still waiting for it to get warm enough to take ours out. Jim rigged up this really cool…

David, THANK YOU for staying sober and encouraging me! You are proof that it can be done! Kelly, have fun breaking that new mattress in! Don't hurt yourself again. Sam, wow! That's hot! It's supposed to be 73 here today. It sounds like you had a really great day yesterday, Mary! How fun! Lee, feel free to share with me.…

It's been a whirlwind of a week! And I'm typing with my left hand because there's a sweet little bundle sleeping in my right one. So, I'll just say hi for now and leave you with this:

Lou, we usually go with $50 for non-family, $100 for family. But we're kinda backwoods here, too ... it might be more in the city. Raine! I LOVE your dress! I don't think I've ever seen you in one, and you look incredible! Kelly! I'm just going to refer to you as "Sexy Legs" from now on! No news on Baby Allyson yet. Poor…
-
No baby yet. No progress at all, actually. Razzle frazzle.
-
Thanks for the prayers and love, everyone! I truly appreciate it, and you. We went into the hospital last night to have a baby, but got sent home after a few hours. Shoot! It's progressing, but it's happening slowly. I hope we meet her in the next day or so! I subbed out today's workshop, so I'm free until tomorrow night…

I'm in a funk. :( Boo. I got this way last year on Mothers' Day, too. No baby yet, Lee. She's had some pretty strong contractions, but nothing regular yet. The speaking thing went well, I think. Some really dear friends came to support me, which kinda made my night.
-
Personally, I'm hoping for a new granddaughter for Mothers' Day. :smiley: Other than that, what I love most is when my kids to do things with me that I enjoy. Sunday night 2 of them will play music with me, and that fills my cup! I wish my middle one would come to hear me speak Saturday or to church Sunday night, but that…

Woo-hooooooooooo!!!! Hoo-ah!
-
How awesome, Lee! I'm proud of them FOR you, and I've never even met them! You are a GOOD DAD. :) Sam, I'm so sorry for your loss, and for your other friend's bad news. You must be feeling lots of feels right now ... I wish I could hug you. Mary, I hop you feel better very, very soon! A day off was wise. Nothing too big…
-
((((((Henry)))))))) I hope he heals painlessly and quickly.
-
Mary, that looks GREAT! Wow! You sure are a woman of many talents! Lee, HA HA! Nope ... no fishing rods in our future. Not our thing. :wink: I hope you enjoyed your day off, Skip! I'm off to go back to WW to do the boards. I had to get a flat fixed after work today and left as soon as I could, so I didn't get them done and…

Some pics: Here is us before the race: Me trying to escape so I didn't have to do it: Yellow tulips: Red and purple tulips with a cute little one peaking over the top:

Great photo of Raine and Steph! How FUN that you got to get together!!! And Raine, your haircut is TOO CUTE. Skip, you're lookin' mighty adorable yourself, too! Pink is your color! Do you have something good to wear for the Cinco de Mayo party? Of course we'll need pics. You're quite the party animal! Your begonias look…
-
Lee, good for you for allowing a few dandelions! Life is too short to worry about perfect grass. And enjoy your guac! What did you end up making for the new family, Skip? I'll bet your ds touched a lot of people, Mary, and that you were proud of him. Raine, I LOVED the Jack pics - both in the water and in the ad. I'm…
-
Wow, Bob ... I'm praying that it doesn't hurt as much as you remember. And that you're okay. Lou, I could match those turtleneck photos. I have the neck of a flamingo, so I wore them all the time. They're coming back, too, and I have a dress now with one! I was happy to see the kids wearing them again. What all did you…
-
Oh my! He is strong!
-
Hmmm ... I wonder if we could use a timer at WW workshops, too? On the members, of course ... not me. :wink: Jim is liking the car! So far so good. I wish I could come to your SS class, Dennis! Wouldn't that be cool if I just showed up? Mary, my dsil thinks that they might sleep in the spare room for us ... we'll try it. I…
-
WOW! That bear! Crazy! Do you think Tess would engage? Mary, I hear ya on the food stuff. I did SO well all month, and then last week didn't. I haven't done my weigh in for this month yet, either. Shoot. I am still under goal, but it might be the highest I've been in a long time, too. I'm enjoying a particularly quiet…

HA! Perfect!

Oh! And Jim bought a new car tonight. Here's a pic. It's a very dark forest green Nissan Rogue:

I love reading about all your Easter services! Our service is an evening one, and our pastor thought most people would be busy so we didn't have it. So, Jim and I visited another church for theirs. The pastor is the husband of one of my WW Guides. It was nice! Mary, those eggs are soooooooooo pretty! Wow! What a precious…
-
Ha! I was thinking the same thing, Skip. And now I'll be singing that all night long. I didn't know so many didn't like Target ... huh. I love it, but it only masquerades as a discount store. I rarely spend less than $100 when I go, and I usually only planned to spend $20. So I do avoid it most of the time. Dave, I LOVE…
-
GREAT news, Dennis! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! Love the fence! It looks like there should be horses grazing. We ended up having another loss last week ... similar story. Young woman doing great, graduated from a strong rehab group, and committed suicide within 5 days of getting out. She was 22. This week has been somewhat back to…
-
It's been a tough couple days here. Yesterday morning I found out that a dear friend of mine was missing. She'd disappeared Saturday morning, and at noon on Sunday everyone, including police, were looking. I posted on my fb, and my post was shared 4600 times around the country ... people were truly pitching in to find her.…
-
Nothin' like logging in in the morning and seeing a photo of poop! Kelly, YAY for you doing your meal prep for the week! I do that on Sundays, but not usually quite as early as you. But, it truly makes my life SO much easier through the week! We're going to K-Zoo to see Dd22 today, and I was going to put together my…

I do the same as Steph, sometimes with the dill ranch powder from Hidden Valley. I agree that veggies and dip are AWESOME! I almost always have it in the fridge, with baggies of veggies to grab quickly.
