Morning Girls. Trying to talk myself into taking a walk. For some reason I'm really resisting. I need to get it done. Looks like we will order a pizza tonight. It's the first preseason game and we have a new coach and quarterback, so we will be checking that out tonight. They are calling for rain this evening but we should be able to get some swimming in today. Have a great Saturday and I'll check in later.

When I was at the office, I asked if they had the right folder and she said yes. But she looked at the orders and they had come from the other office and she knew I had never been there before. They had sent the order over without looking at the birthdate. Watching the Neil Diamond special. Very good. I would love to go to one of his concerts.

Last week my Kidney Doctor's office called and said they were still waiting for the Insurance to ok the shot that they wanted to give me. The Insurance was giving them a hard time about it because it is so expensive. I said "What Shot?" They said the one for me being anemic. I asked her when I became anemic. It turned out that they had another patient with the same name but at a different office and got the files mixed up. I'm not sure what harm the shot would have caused had I taken it, but Holy Cow. Good thing I questioned it. Hubby and I spent the day doing things we needed to get done and than we spent about an hour just floating in the pool. It's so nice to just be the two of us. My band seems to be unususaly tight today. Weird. I had a hard time getting in some yogurt this morning, around 10am. One more week till we go see Brooks and Dunn in concert. I'm so excited.

Pam, Have a safe trip and enjoy the scenery. Janie, That weekend will work for me. We grilled burgers and I had a hamburger patty and a yogurt for dinner. We also swam for about 2 hours today. It felt wonderful.

Morning Girls. I slept in till 9:30 this morning, I guess I needed it. Weather is just right for swimming, so you all know where I will be today. LOL TrackyKS, make sure you send all of us your new addy. Haydee, that is too funny about the dancing. TrackyK, You can be my MOM, ok? Oh, and it's CTCD.

Lesson learned. If it smells like a cucumber than it most likely is and doesn't make for good bread. What a waste. Haydee, My bathroom is off limits and I treat Hubby's the same way, and that is hard for me because the laundry room is in his bathroom. I always find myself standing outside holding the basket till he gets done. There are a few other things I have to compromise on but the reward is beyond belief. I have a husband who no matter what, loves me, has my back and treats me like a princess. It still is frustrating though and that is what marriage is all about. Loving your other more than you love yourself. Loving them enough to give up a few things, heck, I would even give up a kidney if I needed to. You'll learn over time, it will come to you.

Well, I made 2 loaves of bread and I swear they smell like cucumbers. I'll wait till they cool and cut and try one. Holy Cow.

I have a silly question to ask. The other day a lady at work brought in some zucchini. I brought 2 home to make some bread with. Can you tell the difference between a cucumber and a zucchini?

Thanks Judy. I used just 3 tablespoons of sugar. Hubby doesn't like it on the sweet side. Now my house smells, yummy.

Back from my walk and I was gonna make some zuccini bread and found out I'm about 1 cup short on the sugar. I'll run to the store after while. In the meantime I've got a cucumber and onion I need to slice up. Do I mix equal amounts of water and vinegar? I've looked up several recipes and they all tell me something different. Some add dill and some sugar. I'm so confused.

Morning girls. Today is CTCD and that is exactly what I am going to do. CTC. Not just the eating but also the fooling myself that just one bite won't hurt. The crap that I feed myself by thinking I can fool the band. It's over with. Michelle, hope that a new morning brings you a new look on things and that all will find it's way back to a somewhat normal life for you. I'm hoping you and hubby are just going thru a little small bad patch and that both of you will soon realize how much you mean to each other and that all the crap is just that, crap and nothing else. You guys have come to far and you're love will get you thru all the rest. Hang in there Honey. Gonna get dressed and go take a good walk, weather is lovely right now. 66 degrees, great walking weather. Make it a good one today.

Home from our little day trip. We had a really good time and enjoyed seeing the kids. We stopped by the cheese factory and picked out a few to bring home. We sampled some funky tasting ones. Off to go get ready for bed. Long day ahead of me tomorrow. Have a good one.

Just got back from our walk and I have amazing news. I made it up the hill. Awesome. There is a housing addition that has this steep hill and I usually have to stop sometimes 2 times to get up it. I made it all the way this time. Funny thing, at the top of the hill is the Fire Department. They won't have far to go to come and get me if I ever have a problem. Mexican food is my favorite. I think I had mentioned this before about that lady that sued McDonalds for making her fat. Well, can I sue Mexico for making me fat?????

I made it to the Church of Pool Time yesterday. Does that count? Today, hubby and I are going to his sisters house for lunch. She is making tacos. Her and her husband live about an hour from here, so there will be a nice little quiet drive for us. I'm gonna start my new walking regime this morning. I read about it in a magazine and thought I would try it out. I'll grab doggie and take him with me. He's good for getting all the dogs in the neighborhood barking. lol. Have a great day and I'll check in later.

Way To Go Jenn. That's awesome. Where's Grandma Kathy with the baby pics???? I got in the pool today and it was wonderful. Long time coming but it also looks like tomorrow will be a good pool day. The water temp was 88 and it was 90 degrees outside. I was really cold for about the first ten minutes but the body started to adjust. I hate this always being cold. One night last week I actually turned my electric blanket on to 4 at bedtime. You should see all the clothes I wear in winter just to stay warm.

Morning Girls. Hubby and I are headed off to go to our Family breakfast. Yum. Than it's home to wait for the U-Verse people to come and hook us up. Didn't wiegh this morning. I had half a bag of Micro-Popcorn last night. The good thing about it was that I finished up on the "Lost" series. Holy Cow. Hubby and I picked up a couple of books in the volunteer room last night. We are huge Clive Cussler fans and someone brought in 2 books we haven't read yet. I haven't been to see a movie in I don't know how long. I'll wait till the kids are back in school, than I will hit the theatres again. Have a good day.
