Men seem to loose faster than women! It's not fair either!

Good Afternoon Y'all! Well, this morning I decided I had enough computer work and housework so I took the day and went shopping. (Fun shopping, no groceries at all) I got some new pretty underware for myself! (Bras and panties) I tried on some new shoes, but couldn't find anything I liked. I am not too crazy about the new styles of shoes that are out now. I also tried on some new jeans, but decided to wait for a while longer on them. I just walked, looked, touched, and had a good time. Then I got home and decided I still didn't want to sit around the house, so I jumped on the Harley and went for a long ride. It is such a beautiful day here today, and it was perfect for riding. I have to say a gal riding by herself on a big harley turns some heads! It is quite fun riding by yourself! I think we will be doing a lot of riding this weekend, DH said this morning he is ready to go! He'll appreciate that I went today. Rene - Any word yet? I'll keep my fingers, eyes, toes, legs, etc. crossed for you! I have lots of flower beds to play in too, but for some reason it just doesn't sound fun to do this weekend. I love working in them though. DH isn't much on working in the flower beds, so it's a big project for me. Eileen - Good luck with your tests tomorrow. At least it is early and you won't have to suffer all day long. It sounds like y'all might start drying out soon! Here you are getting all the rain, and we can't seem to get any here. It has been a very dry season for us. Some of the towns around us have gotten a little, but where I live it is dry, dry, dry! I even had to add water to the pool yesterday because it got so low, and we seldom have to do that! Ok, time to move some more, so everyone have a great weekend! But, I'll probably be back here before then.

Good Morning, errrrrrrrr afternoon to y'all! lol I guess the time got away from me! I went walking this morning, then came home and went shopping. I just got home and put things away, (I hate putting it away, just love buying it) and of course had to run in here and check the computer. lol I had every intention of going to the farmer's market this morning, but I got home too late. Bummer! Eileen - I will keep my fingers crossed that you DH doesn't get any more Water in there. Are you expecting much more rain? I'll send you some of this sunshine we are having right now so get ready for it! So, what did the insurance company say? I hope it is good news! Rene - You will have to post that letter and let us see how you tell them off! I bet it is a good one! Well, off to get the rest of my stuff done, or at least started! Catch y'all later!

Hi Y'all! I had to do billing today, so was pretty busy. It is a beautiful day here today, but I am stuck inside. Rene - I am sure you will get them to change their minds! Sounds like you are on a roll girl! Get er done! Eileen, I really hope y'all don't have too much flooding. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I sure feel bad for everyone that is going through all this. Cindy - Hey girl, just smile and you will make it a special day!

Who Wants Some Chips?
I gave up chips and salsa the first of October. I love them, but they were really getting the best of me. I haven't had any since the 1st, even though we had Mexican on Saturday. I have to admit, I picked up one and dipped it, then I actually handed it to my DH. Whew, that was a close call! If I ate the first one, I would have definately had a whole lot more!

Hello y'all! I am still fighting with this computer! UGH I am hoping since it was up and going this morning that they might have fixed it, I sure hope so. Rene - did they tell you what kind of trial it was going to be? Karla - Welcome to bandland! Let us know how you are doing when you can. Eileen - Did you get to go shopping? I have been craving some bread lately too, but it is the one thing I don't eat. Once in a while I will take a taste of the crust if it is toasted etc. I miss garlic bread most of all, or a nice subway sandwich. lol Do you see many bears? I would be scared to walk early like that too! I'm glad you didn't get any of the flooding. Gosh, we have had so much happen to people this year.

Beer Lovers read this
I have a beer once in a while. I don't make a habbit of it, but sometimes you just gotta have one. I just drink it slowly, and it doesn't bother me. I know some folks just can't drink it though.

Hi y'all! The computer was still acting up this morning, but so far the last 15 minutes it is working pretty good. I hate being without it, what did we ever do before they came out? lol Eileen your place sounds so beautiful. We have a lot of squirrels here too, actually we feed them We put out corn on the cob for them. Cindy - How was the fair? Hope you had a good time. Bene - Hope you enjoyed your "lazy" day. It is warming up good today. I think we will go for a ride, and then watch the Nascar race. What's everyone having for dinner today?
