Raine, I'm still hoping for an offer from this weekend!
-
AB is gorgeous!!! And I'll bet you were just fine with that whistle. The judges probably just had their hearing aids up too high. Skip, the house looks great! I love that color! I get to meet Steph tomorrow! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Hopefully I won't bomb the meeting like I did when Lou visited ... oy. I will say that of…

It's cool how that guy in the red suit wanted to high five a real hero!
-
That's awesome, Raine! I'm shipping a TRUCKLOAD of mojo up your way today! Here's to a fruitful and profitable open house! Dd21 is now a graduate! Woot woot!!! She is so happy to be done with classes for a while! In about 2 years, her university is making a graduate school change to the program she is in, and she'll…

My graduate:

Another fun fact: I sang at a church in Elkhart once. I forgot the words to the song, too. Ugh!
-
***cue "Pomp and Circumstance"*** I'm going to cheer on dd21 as she graduates college today! Then she's having her very first dinner party at her own home for the family. I'm bringing the fruit salad. :) Lee, I could SO see you as a pool dude oogling behind the shades! Kelly, that's totally fun!!! I'll tell Dh ... he used…

Technically, it isn't my awesome dessert ... I wanted to take you to Captain Sundae. :) It's world-famous! Presidents have come there for Tommy Turtles! (well, one president, at least)
-
Lou, I'd be happy to come and help Cecelia finish decorating the place. Just say when! That kind of thing fills my cup big time! Steph, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!! T-5 days!!!! Plan around 5 SP for dinner plus a bajillion for dessert, if you're up for that. :) Dave, did the eye doctor figure out what's up? That's a little…

Nice job, Steve! You're making a difference, and I'm grateful. :)
-
Busy here, too, but I'm alive! :)
-
Nice chimney, Skip! It's so tall and straight. Very impressive. ;) Mary, I have one more meeting today at noon ... if you leave soon, you can make it! Lee, how cool that DW got to fly with DS1! And how cool that he's flying helicopters! I've never been in one. I'm completely jealous of your weather, Dennis. I hope you had…
-
Perfect! So what date exactly will that be? And do you have any food allergies, or things you don't like? I'm so excited to see you!!!
-
Your Excellency, Sir Skip -- LOVE IT! ha ha! We are covered in ice here. I keep watching to see if church is on, and so far they haven't cancelled, which really surprises me. Bajillions of churches are closed (yes, bajillions ... we have the highest ratio of churches per land in the country, I've heard). There are lots of…

I agree that that sounds smart. Prudence = the opposite of rashness. We regret knee-jerk reactions much more often than ones that we think through a bit. <3
-
Steph, why yes I do! I do a 5:30 in Grandville on Tuesdays (Grandville is right outside Grand Rapids), and then 4 in Holland on Wednesdays: 8am, 9:30, noon, and 5:30. The 5:30 group happens to be my favorite ... don't tell the others. :) I'm free on Tuesdays between 9am and my meeting (I leave the house at 4), but on…

Wow, Lee! Nice tush! We've got a &%$#^*(% winter storm warning on right now. Sheesh. Freezing rain. I'm off to do my weigh in and then see the ladies at the rehab house. Have a great day!
-
Mary, it was smart to stay out of that sandbox. There are some nice swings and monkey bars over on the other side, and less kitten poo. Did you have a good weigh in? We had lots of snowbirds return yesterday, which made meetings fun and loud and big and robust. Speaking of that, here's a cool story. One of our members last…

Thanks, everyone! Dennis, I've been clinging to that prayer pretty hard. And the flowers are beautiful! I did get a nap in this afternoon, and I found much healing in my WW meeting. It's so helpful to get out of my own head when I'm upset and overwhelmed. Interestingly, if I thought I could have found one at 8am on a…

Well, I had one of my worst nights ever, and had to cut a very toxic person out of my life. I was literally up all night, and still feel nauseated. I'm hoping to fake it through my WW meeting, then meeting with some friends who usually are a big encouragement to me. If you have the inclination, I could use some prayers on…
-
This seems appropriate for many of us today: The meetings I subbed went wonderfully yesterday. The first was huge and fun with lots of interaction and laughter. The second was smaller and we went DEEP into concepts like fear, shame, and courage. I love my job! We had Anabelle over on Friday, too. It's funny how, the older…
-
((((((((((Kelly)))))))))))))) I'm with you.
-
Kelly, I'm praying hard for you all. I hope you feel the love. Raine, don't be jealous ... JOIN US! Depending on the day, you can stay over here. :) I hope you get some rest, Steve! Lou, you need a cape! Dennis, I'm praying LOUDLY that you get that hearing aid SOON! We have a bit of snow, too, Mary. It sucks. At the same…
-
I'd love to get together with you! I hope we can make it happen! As for airports, I'd go with GR. It's a nice, teensy little airport that's quick to navigate.
-
I want to reiterate Dennis's statement about a "bad day/week" on WW vs. prior to WW. We did a meeting a few weeks back on recovering after a slip, and one of the cornerstone concepts that I latched onto was this: The very fact that we RECOGNIZE an "off" day is progress! In the past, it was simply our usual. No big deal.…

For some reason, this really got my waterworks flowing. SO beautiful!
-
We woke up to snow on the ground this morning. ICK! But my cold feels slightly better than yesterday, so that's good ... especially since I do 4 meetings today. I'm subbing a couple extra on Saturday, too.
-
I'm with Kelly and Cooper. You are doing a kind and loving thing, albeit very hard. Love is rarely the easy way. That's so frustrating about the fireplace, Skip! Shoot. Dave's advice is sound. I missed the tire fiasco, too. Mary, if you're going to be up, cupcakes are DEFINITELY the way to go! Totally worth it, imho. :)…
-
I agree ... that service will probably be completely amazing! We don't have a service tonight, since we are an evening one. I have the day off. Weird. I'll probably spend a little time around the keyboard, anyway, hopefully with my girls. We're meeting dfil and our nieces for lunch today, then having our family game day…

Kids movies are usually my favorite! We watched The Greatest Showman on Amazon Prime last night. I'd seen it once in the theater, and I loved it just as much last night. SO much artistry and imagination and emotion and talent! Bob, interestingly, not all WW are closed this Easter. Some locations have left it up to their…
