I've been lurking! So good to read about you all!

Well, my senior played his last high school game Friday night. I had a senior parent meeting tonight. We order invitations and cap/gown tomorrow night and the first basketball game of the season on Tuesday night. Too busy to cry over it!! Honestly, I am so relieved we survived 4 years of difficult playing with a broken…

Busy busy times at work. We are ramping up to a release a system upgrade that integrates two systems -- it's been a three year project. Early mornings and very late nights this week and testing all weekend. It's only Tuesday... Collin is still able to play football with his broken hand. He's in a soft cast during the day…

What cute pictures of Isaac! Babies bring out the best in us : ) Ang, I really do not enjoy running socially or in a race. I think mostly because I'm self-conscious. I still do the negative talk in my head and I constantly compare myself to others when there is a group. Going solo is my quiet time. I never solve the…

So happy to still be part of the Cooler group!! Busy as usual, but without travel. (I secretly miss it). We've had beautiful weather for weeks, although still in the 90's. Everyone is screaming for rain. We haven't seen rain in 10 weeks or so. It's supposed to roll in late Sunday. Years ago I had a bout with what they…

One word...Amazing!! What an amazing thrill to do this with my son!!

If you delete it, please send me a message on fb on how to find you! I lurk....a lot! but not in a creepy kind of way. ;) Marla - so with the weight loss. I didn't realize how long it had been since I put my weight in. I certainly didn't lose it all at once. I lost a lot when I had my surgeries in Dec/Jan, then when I lost…

Hey, everybody! Just did a quick scan of your comments. Love reading about everyone's busy and fun lives!! It's a normal and crazy busy world for me and mine. Just want to post something fun...my oldest turns 18 Sunday -- YIKES!! :# I'm taking him skydiving. He doesn't know it. The plan is to wake him up early Sunday…

Just a brief check in before I get kicked out!! No real time to post, but I sure enjoy reading up on everyone. Terribly saddened by Amy's loss.

My goodness, you ladies have been busy! It's going to take me a month to catch up!!

Happy Birthday, Jenny!

Strep throat last week. Flu B this week. Travel both weeks spreading the funk. I'm waving a white flag!! I have literally been in a doctor's office and/or hospital every week since the first week of December 2014 with the exception of ONE. I've tried to stay positive and throw in a little humor but I'm losing it! My hand…

Grrr! I posted about an hour ago and even reread it (I know that I did because I saw a typo that I needed to fix and just left it -- lazy!). I logged back on to see my weight progress and noticed a "1 day streak" and that my weight I entered yesterday isn't captured. So, Jenny, maybe you did post and the fitnesspal…

I went for a follow-up appointment for my hand and wrist this morning and left with a diagnosis of strep throat. So, Shirley, that's what's next. Can you believe?? I've taken the whole adage of things coming in threes to things coming continuously for three months. I. AM. OVER. IT!! As far as the wrist and hand, no better…

And the hits keep on coming. After the parade I went to Saturday I tripped over an uneven sidewalk. The result--two hairline fractures in my hand and a nasty looking foot. I follow the saying, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." BUT it was a beautiful day with friends and sooo much fun. Yay, Ang, on your…

I'm winding down this very odd week. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but "odd" sums it up. While I was walking last Sunday, a young lady backing out of her drive stopped me to ask if I wanted an exercise partner. Anyone who really knows me knows I wanted to run away as fast as I could, but as usual I said, "sure!" We…

Checking in before this day gets too crazy busy. Sounds like you had a really nice weekend, Shirley, despite the weather. Marla, hope you got some answers from your doc. Two more games for us (then playoffs). I'm kind of sad thinking I will be in these gyms only ONE more time. My guy will be a senior next year. Embrace the…

Hello from an overcast and cool Louisiana. The film crew has packed up and left town. I've missed the excitement the last few days. When I left for work this morning there were a few people repainting doors and window frames back to the original colors. All of the "shop" logos have been removed, the cars and trucks from…

Just a quick check in. Wow! That was a lot to catch up on. Everyone has a lot going on in their lives. Ang, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this transition. Amy, have your son go into one of our local office-- Business and Career Solutions Centers. Where is he living? I can give you the address and…

Day two of work this week. I'm going to stick in for a bit longer and calling it a day around 2 PM and possibly even a week. I come back full time next week and my dance card is full. It's not like I haven't been putting in plenty of hours of work from home, so no guilt on my part. When I got home from work yesterday the…

Wrapping up a nice weekend of sunshine. We started Saturday in the 30's and got to the 40's and today we hit 60. Pearl and I thoroughly enjoyed it! We stopped by the set to watch the activity for a while Saturday and then that night my husband and I went to a wine tasting benefit. I have to say it was a bit of a bore. The…

WooHoo! Way to go Zach. Shirley, I live just outside of Baton Rouge but yes, New Orleans is another hot spot for filming. We've been coined "Hollywood South" for a few years now. I took a couple of classes at LSU last year and enjoyed watching the filming of Pitch Perfect on campus. (It was funny listening to celebrity…

So...I'm through pouting about my mother's comments. I've beared it all of my life (and Shirley, she is only getting stronger in her traits) so what's new?? Funny thing is, she knows how to do it just in my earshot. Very seldom does my husband, cousins, aunts, and friends pick up on it. She truly is one of the nicest…

We've had our coldest weather of the winter this week. Today was beautiful, yet cold. Rain picks back up Monday. My mother is in town for the weekend. She and I went to look for Mardi Gras gowns. Big mistake! Nothing fit me, in her frank opinion, because of my pooch and rolls. Grrr. Why oh why did I do this with her??!! I…

Laissez les Bon Temps Rouler!! (Let the Good Times Roll!!) We are officially in Mardi Gras Season. WooHoo! 40 days of parades, King Cake, balls, royalty, and over the top fun. The Artic Blast has reached Louisiana! I know I have absolutely no room to talk about how cold it is with the wind chill after reading y'alls temps,…

Hmm, Marla. Let's do a cost benefit analysis. A busy mom needs her wheels. Fingers crossed it's fixed today.

Another day, another doctor's appointment. Today I went to a dermatologist about this itchy rash and to have a suspicious mole removed. The rash is...dun dun dun... a yeast infection that went awry. So now on an oral script and waiting till Monday for the topical creme to come in. The mole is believed to be benign but…

Happy New Year's Eve. No real plans for the evening. My husband made a big pot of chili last night so he's grilling hot dogs for tonight to finish up the chili. We have a deck on our rooftop so we'll have the best view of the fireworks. We usually have a few family friends over, but I didn't even put out the invite this…

I went for my 2 week post op this afternoon and all is well with the recovery. Both the nurse and doctor were stumped with this aweful rash. He's chalked it up to a reaction to the glue and offered a steroid shot. Still itching like crazy. The best relief is when I shower and the water soothes it a bit. Jenny, yes, I had…
