Morning Y'all! Heat won, in overtime. I can't believe Josh Howard called that time out, I think it lost the game for them. At least they played better last night than they have in the whole series. I am really tired today, staying up till almost mid-night! I need my head examined for doing that! I am short on time this morning, so I will try to catch up later! Everyone have a great day!

Good Morning! Wow, talk about being busy, no time to post or anything. Today I am cooking a nice big dinner for DH, so along with getting the house in shape and the laundry done, guess I will be busy again. My Dad is gone, so I just do it all for him. Last night or I should say afternoon, the neighbors all ended up at our house and we went swimming and as usual ate and drank too. It lasted till about 10:00 last night, but what a fun time we all had. I just have the greatest neighbors! Eileen - Whoooo Hoooo! Doing the happy dance for you! Darcy - Awwwww, so sorry you are having problems with your baby again. Hopefully she will get better fast. Hugs! Donna - I think you will see a different set of Mav's tonight, after that suspension with Jerry Stackhouse, you'll see them step up the pace and play a better game. They have actually been playing way below what they normally do. By the way, what the heck happened to free speech in FL? They made the boat with the Mav's banner take it down! WTF is up with that? Cindy - Get ready girl for the game. You should all hear us here yelling, clapping and cussing! It's fun! I still say the Mav's will take it! Of course I am saying it with my heart! Dianne - You are such a cutie, and so small! Sherry - Yup, that sounds like a regular bike group! Some gals just don't have any pride in themselves. One of the biggest reasons I went with my own bike was because the back seat killed my butt. Sometimes I would get off and couldn't hardly walk! lol You'll like riding alone much better! Anne - Wow girl, you are asking for punishment aren't you? Boy you are my hero! Kat - Good luck with the fill, hope it helps you. I am thinking about getting a small one, but after the holidays. Last year on the 4th we rented a place and I was miserable with not being able to eat. We are going again this year, so I don't want to be in that position again. When you are cooking all in a group you don't have a lot of choice on what to eat. Or, maybe I am just wanting to eat the good stuff, who knows? Patty - Still keeping my fingers and stuff for you. Just keep plugging away! Beanie - Hey, that's a lot of hard work! Glad someone is doing a bunch for you! Mary - I hate putting on a bathing suit, but I decided if I want to enjoy my pool, I have to just do it. I hate the sagging skin, but heck sometimes you just have to not look at it and go and do it. congrats to you! Randi - Hello and welcome! I am still having problems with my foot, so still can't do any walking, and I have to be careful with my back because I can feel it is just on the verge of hurting bad. I just watch how I bend or turn real fast, maybe I will try a heating pad this afternoon. Well, I am going to go get some more stuff done! I want to watch a little bit of the Nascar race, then the Mav's, still have to finish the laundry and get things ready for dinner. I already got the floors done, the sinks cleaned, the toilets done, the bed stripped and made. Hmmmmm I think I need a break, or that's right, I just had one here!:clap2: :clap2: I might not always get to post, but I am thinking about each of you every day/night. I consider you all my friends which I think an awful lot of!:rant:

Iv'e Done the Deed!!!!
Welcome to bandland! You definately need to take it a little slower, you need to let yourself heal up. Like Sherry said, if you have problems, let you doctor know. Good Luck

Terrible headache tonight, I tweeked my back today and I think that is what is causing it, not much posting for me, I'll catch up later. The Mav's and the Heat play until one wins 4 games. If it takes 7 games, then that is what they will play, or the first one that hits 4 first. Both of them are great teams, so it's been a tough series, of course it doesn't help that neither team really has been playing up to par. I'm going to go sit on a heating pad for a while and take some asprin, but yes, I will wash it through my band very good! Asprin is the only thing that helps my back when it is like this. Later!

A quick hello, I'm tired from staying up so late last night!:notagree Mav's lost, they sure didn't look like themselves last night and the way they played they didn't deserve to win. They need to get back to their style of playing! Anne - Happy anniversary, hope you had fun. Cindy - Glad you stopped by and said hello! Kat - Gosh, sorry to hear it's going to take longer, but better to be safe. My prayers are with you! Sherry - I bet you had a great time on the new bike! Eileen - Morning sunshine! Well, I gotta run and get my slow butt moving! Later!

Morning Y'all! Well, the party was a blast! We ended up with tons of food as usual! And....................... THE MAV'S WON! It was fun with everyone here cheering them on! Of course, I wish I didn't have to go to work today, but I do! Jan - I usually try to just take a small portion of everything I want and that way I don't feel left out. Have fun at your party today! Cindy - I know this will be a hard time for you cleaning your Mom's things, but it will also bring back a lot of good memories, just keep thinking about the good ones! Hugs! Dianne - Don't you just hate it how every stores sizes are different? Glad you found an outfit you like in the right size! Eileen - Hope you are feeling better today. Darcy - How are you feeling? When do you get the results? Becky - Hope you have some time to stop in! Miss you girl! Beanie - Is it back to work for you today? Sherry - Did that chili knock you out? Where are you pretty girl? Pat - OK, enough time on the lake, come and visit with us! Mary - How are you girl? Hope things are improving for you. Donna - We'll see you in FL. tomorrow! Gosh you are getting good with all that exercise! Patty - Keep that phone hot! Just keep calling! Anne - Hope your belly is healing up! Kat - Keeping you in my thoughts! Well, I know this is short and sweet, but got to pack my lunch and get dressed so I best get my buns moving. Later!

Hello Y'all! I can't seem to get caught up with the board! Yikes, I can't remember it all! LIke Darcy, I think I will start fresh again! :D Eileen - Glad to hear your side is much better, I get like that sometimes and it does scare me. The party is tonight, so I'll find out then. lol We always have a lot of fun, even when there isn't a game, heck if we start too early we won't see the game! I think everyone is coming over at 6, the game is at 8 and we are doing a pot luck thing. I made up a big pot of ham and Beans, some crawfish fondue, some casio dip, and some stuffed jalapeno peppers wrapped in bacon. I have the beans done, the peppers are ready to put in the oven to bake, and my crawfish is all cleaned and ready to go. I still have to make some garlic bread and I will be done. Anne - 42 pokes, hey girl don't let him do that to you again, with all those pokes he is putting your band in jeopardy of a leak! I bet you do have a brused up belly! Hugs girl! Stop him next time! Patty - still keeping my fingers crossed for you! Keep after them girl! Cindy - How neat that bible school is in the evening! Doanna - Are you ready for the game? We have a big "God MAV's sign in our front yard! :D I have my shirt ready too! Sherry - Now that chili sounds pretty good!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Did you get the new bike yet? I'm behind! Jan - Welcome! Great job on the w/l! Dianne - Have fun shopping, and I hope you find your cute skirt! Kat - Good news and bad news, good luck my heart goes out to you! Mary - How you doing girl? I am anxious to see you in that dress. Beanie - How is the vacation going? Pat - Come out and play, we miss you! Darcy - Just do everything like you normally would so they see the real results. We need to get you fixed up! Becky - Hey girl, how is the fitday going? Well, going to get done so I can prop my foot up, I can't hardly stand to be on it, it hurts so bad. I am almost done so that is good! Then I am going to relax on my raft in the pool before everyone comes so I will be a little rested and cool! Later!

Lizard in the house
I love them, send it to me! :) We have lots of them, they are so good for eating bugs etc. Usually they are more scared of you than you are of them. :biggrin1: I love to watch them, they are really neat!

Hey Y'all, Just checking in, hope I can get back later and do some personals, just been really busy. How about them Mav's? Donna, don't feel too bad, this is a seven game series, and the two best teams are playing so we'll see how comes out on top. The Mav's looked terrible and I was shocked to see them win while playing so poorly. I just have to say I hope the Mav's win! :biggrin1: Now, you are talking stuff I love to do, shop and fish! :) Kat - Still thinking about you and your family. Well, I have a ton of stuff to do, so I will try to catch up later or maybe tomorrow. I have the neighbors coming over to watch the 2nd game of the series tomorrow so I have to get most of my work done today and early tomorrow. We are the ones with the big screen tv and a bar, so we got nominated! Hello to all the rest of you, not ignoring ya, just have to work! UGH!

Hey Y'all! It's nice to see most of y'all back here again!:scared: :D Pat - Welcome back! Doc has it all wrong, the Dallas Maverick's are the best team in the country and they are going to beat the chit right out of them! :D Shaq will think he is visiting hell!:clap2: :clap2: Doc - We'll make sure we have a crying towel ready for you!:biggrin1: :biggrin1: Cindy - Yeah, I can't wait for the game! Swimming lessons sound like fun, are you taking them too? Eileen - I just hate it that we can't play a little from work, it never interferred with my work before, and it wouldn't now if they would let me play too!:cry :cry Mary - I love the dress, yup, we do indeed have to have some pictures of it on you! Becky - I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that you will be able to tolerate that fill! Good to see you here too! Don't stay gone for so long! You have done so well even without your fill! My hats off to you sweetie! Sherry - I haven't lost any weight for months and months, but I haven't gained either. Everytime I think about a fill, something happens and I can't eat and then I am glad I didn't have one. I really think it is more what I am eating and drinking that is causing my problems. I did much better today than I did for a long time, now if I can make the evening. Anyway what I started to say is that if you don't need it yet, don't get it. I got one once that made me slime with so much that I couldn't stand it. I also couldn't drink any cold stuff, and here in Texas, it is miserable if you can't gulp some icy cold drink. I hated it! Darcy - Please do tell us more about the frog, that is so cool! Is that a tree frog? Kat - I can't imagine going through what you DH is going through with all the waiting. I think I would be grouchy too, it would be working with my head so much. I know you both will be glad when it is all done and overwith. You know we are all here for you, just holding your hand! Diane - I am glad to hear your back in better. Be careful with the crunches! Well, my door bell just rang so I got to go.
