o.k. going to bed soon.

Nighttime snacks are as follows:::::

BOwl of cheerios/ skim milk

Bag of Popcorn

MUg of SF HOt Cocoa... now my pills... thats it. I am going to bed now...

I DID NOT DRIVE OUT TO BUY JUNK FOOD ---- YEah ME!!

Phyl, get the dog!!! I know I have to many in the house right now, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Even today when the vet bill was $170, it is worth every penny. But my traveling vet gives me a discount because she knows I can't afford much. The $170 was for 2 rabies shots, 3 bordidella (kennel cough vaccine), 1 distemper, another 'puppy' shot I can't remember, the cats blood work and cortizone shot, and physicals on all 4 animals. Simon is going to have to have a lump removed (could be cancer) and his teeth cleaned which will require anesthesia, but the vet says he can wait until I can afford it, unless the lump starts growing fast.

Janet, I'd sign up for that fat camp!! Food was good today. Normal breakfast, 1 oz of cheese for lunch, 1/2 c chicken chowmein, bag of smartpop kettle korn.

Karla

Cheap vet - hell that's just one dog for me :0) Hope Simon is ok..

Lunch wasnt great - but better than the alternative :0)

OMG I would love to run a Biggest Loser Resort - OMG I could be the food cop and get away with it !!!! I would love it - Janet aka Jillian !!!!! I would absolutely love it...

Mike is doing really good - and I am not watching just listening - I thought Lee was good - but I love him and his voice..

Oh Randy didn't like it... OMG these judges - hell it's up pple who buy the albums... Not them..

Well back to t.v.

Janet, you would run a hell of a fat camp. 1st, just advertise your before & after pics and the entire world would be at your door step, me included. 2nd, you tell it like it is, which we all need.

Food was good until...DD#5 came home with boyfriend and college friend AND brought Little Debbie peanut butter wafer things home. I ALWAYS get stressed when we have extra people in the house, especially now with it being such a disaster, then you wave peanut butter & chocolate under my nose...ate one, didn't really enjoy it, but ate it none the less. They better be gone before I get home or they are garbage!!

Yesterday did me a world of good. I slept in & took a nap and feel awake for the first time in months. Got bills paid and taxes done for the teachers in China. Got the water plant order together for the nursery. Paid my own bills.

Yep, my vet is cheap, but she is good. She travels in her vet van because she doesn't want to deal with office personel, plus she says, "There isn't anything better than a good roadtrip." Think middle age hippy. I just love her. She never leaves until all furries have given her a lick and taken a treat from her.

Phyl, it must be just horrid for your sister. Hope they figure it all out.

Phyl....GET THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!! And tell Earl, he has his airplanes, you have a furry. Life is too short not to have a furry on your lap. If he doesn't like it, tell him to 'bite it'. Besides, I like the idea of forced exercise.

Well time to get ready, TTFN

Good Morning....

Karla, with what you ate yesterday - one treat isn't bad...

I wish your vet traveled to Cali !!! Sounds like a great job to me..

Well not much to report since last night - watched idol - don't know yet who got kicked off dancing w/the stars.. Wonder who will go home tonite on idol..

Glad you got your rest and caught up on the paper work - I need to do that myself - but this weekend -Earth Wind Fire Friday nite - then funeral on Saturday at 2 p.m. for my gf Dad..

Candice - Linda - Karla - good food today - healthy foods - no cocktails- no sugar - You can do it

Good Morning!

Well... I have to admit, he has a lot of good reasons for NOT getting a dog. I'll have one some day!

Didn't eat much yesterday... usual BF, Costco snacks were a bust... two chips and a swallow of a yogurt smoothie, oh, and a bite of baguette. Had a wheat thin flat bread cracker when I got home. Put some hummus on it and a couple of small oysters. Dinner... Earl made spaghetti..... 2 oz angel hair, sauce made with canned chopped tomatoes, and turkey Italian sausage.. but ended up with only 4 small bites on my plate. But.... I PB'd on it and was miserable the rest of the night.

Primetimers this morning but don't know if we're going or not. Want to go to the gym and do some bike time, but my hips are still so sore so I'll wait and see how I feel later.

Hey Gang - Drive by - it's 3:45 and it's to late to start anything on my desk (i get off at 4) Plus no one is here to catch me on the computer - I am sorta sleepy - Have gym tonite - Leg work out - I should have had some caffine earlier

So Phyl what did you end up doing today - hope the hips feel better soon...

Karla - how were your little monsters..

Candice- too quite - that gets me to worrying

Food today

BF Jerkey

Lunch - 4 oz fish - 3 bites broc

Drive by....sorry ladies.

Its been crazy trying to get everything in order for this sale. Remind me next year not to put everything off.

Quick question because I've been hunting for the answer and can't find it. What days do we have the house. Mom is here and we were discussing plans and neither of us remember the dates for sure.

I'll try to drive by later and give you more updates. Life is good and I am doing pretty good. No worries! Love you guys!

Oh...and Phyl's summer address because I just have her winter address saved.

So good old Mel goes shopping and comes home with 6 pounds of sharp cheddar cheese which I love, "oh, it was such a good deal." plus another bag of fresh cheese curds--the kind that squeak when you chew them, and a quart of ice cream "for Cora." Right--like she'll eat the whole quart?

Phyl--sounds like some pretty major issues with the relatives. Hope they're ok now. What's that about your hip hurting--and your back? You go right ahead and enjoy your wine! Earl and Mel are two of a kind, so I totally understand each and every one of your frustrations! BTW where does Steven live? Anywhere near Bentonville Ar?

Candice--great job on the job! At least you'll have some mad money and a lot more satisfaction than before. Don't forget to post pics of the quilt. We saw it in progress last summer--looking forward to the final result.

Janet--give up the coctails? I don't know. . . Maybe I'd do better giving up cheese? Yeah, I need to live with you awhile. When did you say that fat camp should be?

Carla-- I need a cheat sheet on thoes daughters of yours--names, jobs, family, where they live--all of that. I get so confused.

So yesterday I finally got my dental implant finished. I can smile again! YEA!!! But he had to drill down an adjacent filling to get the thing to fit, so now I gotta go back and have that filling replaced. Darn. Thinking about asking for a white filling. Anyone know how much more that'll cost?

We're on "Baby-watch" Levi's due in 2 weeks. I as so looking forward to having Cora for awhile, but the parents haven't asked yet which makes me think that HER mom will move in for awhile. It sucks to be the husband's mom. . . On the other hand, I have to work and she doesn't so that could be a factor too.

Oh well, I had a great day with Cora yesterday. She went with me to the dentist and almost fell asleep with her head on my chest while they were working on me. She had her pacifier, and just laid there as still and quiet as could be. SHE WAS SO GOOD. And as much as I hate the dentist--and he was having problems with the implant--it was actually a comfort to have her there. I just love that little girl!

Posted grades today. I had one course where a good 1/2 of the students FAILED. I should have looked to see how many of them were getting paid by the state to go to school. I bet 90%. But I'm still going to get looked at to see why so many did so poorly. Makes me look bad. But I how can I send them to work in doctors offices when they don't know the basics of anatomy, physiology, and diseases, and didn't care enough to do the basic homework to learn? Oh, I need another drink. . .

Linda

Yep girl - gotta give up the cocktails - or limit them to 1 only a day and NO CHEESE!!!! Hell 100 cal for one little cube (2 dice) not worth it... I think Mel is sabotaging you - I have never eaten cheese curd except in Canada -

Is anyone watching Oprah - Eat love Pray - or something like that - it's on in the back ground - I'll watch it when I get back from the gym...

The part I have heard so far sounds good - record it or watch it - it comes out again around 11 p.m. here on channel 11..

Fat camp is when ever you want to come visit !!! My door is always open !!!

well gotta leave for the gym...

Steph - 7/1 thru 7/5 are the dates I am arriving and leaving

I'll email you phyl's address -

So Phyl what did you end up doing today - hope the hips feel better soon...

Went to Primetimers. Then to one of the old ladies' home to try to install her printer. After 90 minutes, headache and backache... gave up! Her computer is a dinosaur! I told her she can buy a laptop for under $500 that would way surpass the desk top she has and take up less space and she could take it in another room if she wanted to. I finally went online to try to download the drivers/software from the internet, but she has dial up and when it started downloading it said it was going to take 5 1/2 hrs!!! So I canceled it!

Came home... took my cruise around the neighborhood... nice day... got my latte, hung out at Target a while and came home. Probably will try the leftover spaghetti for dinner and see if it goes down easier this time!

Steve is in Grove OK, right near the AR border. I think he told me he was going to be in AR this week for a few days for a painting job, and then I think there's another one coming up in Kentucky or Tennessee. I lost track. He called on Sunday... which was a suprise because we hadn't heard from him in about 2 months. He said his cell phone fell in the water on a job last week. But he always has a story. He was calling on his boss' cell phone. And anyways, that doesn't explain why I didn't hear from him since March! I know.... tornadoes... scary!! They usually stay in motels, but he was talking about his boss getting an RV for them to stay in.. or maybe it was a travel trailer. He talks so fast and goes from one subject to another! And he kept saying he was going to call back later and tell us about all the "good news". When I pressed him for what kind of good news, his answer was... jobs coming up, etc. I just don't want any more grandchildren and we don't know anything about this latest girlfriend.. like age,fertility status, etc. :smile2::eek::smile:

I think everything is quiet in Buffalo for the time being. With Uncle Ed's stroke, niece's accidents, seizures, etc, it's time for an end to the drama. My sister (youngest one) said she needs a vacation.. all the niece, grandniece issues were in her family.

Screwed up my hip bowling on the Wii on Sunday! And PT exercises seem to be aggravating my back instead of helping.

Good morning ladies, I'm dragging today. But today is Thursday, having a tough time keeping in eyelids open. Okay, just wrote a sentence & was on the wrong keysl that's what I get for typing with my eyes's closed. Well maybe more coffee will help, it better.
