Good Evening Peeps..

Linda never heard of those nails - alot of pple here get gels - but if you are rough on your nails the guy said they break easier - I just keep my acrylic's had them over 20 yrs now - I was afraid to go short but liking it - so much easier..

Karla - going to free concert in Hemet (40 miles away) on Sunday - but that's it - no plans for the 4th..

Candice - Well glad you are still down a pound - that's better than gaining.. I gotta clean tomorrow or Saturday .. We get off at 2 tomorrow - but gotta work through lunch - I hate when they do that..

Well 3rd person I know losing their band - Brandy you all know her the pin up girl ... Scary ...

Well got bills paid - how in the hell did it get to be 7/1 so fast - half the yr is gone..

Janet, I guess time flies when we get older. Went into town to buy new koi for the pond. We went to fish them out of my friends pond and there weren't any left. So drove clear into Missoula and the pet store was out, are you kidding me!! Took Elyse into town and took her shopping for a birthday gift, found her a real nice outfit at Ross, also a chair I would love to have, but just too much money.

Came home and worked on the pond some more, hope to get it done tomorrow...we'll see.

Linda, yep kids are irritating, especially adult kids. They will do what ever they want even when it is wrong. Of course I was just as guilty at their age, married by 16, 3 kids by 22, divored by 25 and here I am grumbling about Elyse's choices, mine were worse and I survived. I guess we hope they don't make our mistakes...as they don't they just make new ones.

Janet, I have no plans for the 4th either, I may fire up the grill...if I can find it.

Candice, how about you fly into Missoula and paint for me?

Well, need to get some dinner, TTFN

Good Morning Peeps

Last yr today we were in Washington... I remember freezing my Ass off during the 4th - this yr. 111 LOL I will be wishing I was in Washington LOL

Candice - Happy Canada 4th You and Phyl in those glasses LOL

Yep Karla - the older we get the faster time seems to go by.. Good luck on your pond..

Getting off work early - House need a good deep cleaning - going to try and get it done when I get off work.. So I can have Sat free - Sunday going to Hemet - Sunday chilling..

Janet beat me! Happy Canada Day, Candice! Yup, I remember last year. . .getting up and drinking coffee on the deck, the parade, shopping, the food, the fun, the friends! Good times! I remember thinking how blessed I was to have you guys as friends.

My kids are good, Karla, it's my sister and mom who are giving me grief.

Candice, don't you worry a bit about having a clean house for us or anything else. Clean sheets and a shower would be nice, but that's all. I didn't clean when you came here!

Yeah, what's up Phyl? And Denise? What's happening with your job?

Karla, I'd really like to see pics of some of these projects--the pond and the house. We tried a pond once. It was a lot of work, and with our climate, not a lot of time to just enjoy it. We sold the house so I don't know what happened to it.

Yeah, clean houses. ..I gotta do mine this weekend. Sister, bro-in-law, and 5 kids coming Sunday, so all the little things, like cleaning switch plates and under the sofa need to be done. Then since everyone's coming here on Monday, I need to spruse up outside too. Still can't get up and down to pull weeds, so gotta get DH to do some of that. And windows, and grocery shopping. . . Why am I even sitting here posting? I need to get going

Good Morning! Headed out to PT in a short time. All packed up and ready to head over the mountains when I'm done. T & J already over there. Should be interesting, DGD coming w/her BF & their THREE dogs! Plus Zoey, Gigi & Misty! Oh, & T & J's 2 cats! Candy is staying home and she's already upset. She figured out two litter boxes in the BR & packed bags mean she's staying home. She threw up all her food in front of Earl's chair early this morning! Heard her crying real loud @7a.m. Zoey jumped off the bed barking and went running to investigate. She didn't know what that strange sound was! A few minutes ago she jumped off my lap and went running to the door barking because the neighbor's cat was sniffing around my scooter out on the patio. She doesn't mind all the cats hanging around but she doesn't like it if they go near "her" scooter!!

Don't know where the week has gone! Didn't get my epidural on Tuesday. Doc said if I was tolerating the pain pretty well we should hold off. If he gave me a 3rd now Medicare won't pay for another for 6 months, so sounded like a good decision. Wed. is a blur. Thursday was big shopping trip to Winco and Costco. We seem to have foregone Walmart for the summer because the one closest to us we HATE. Always jam packed, and traffic getting there is usually a nightmare, too, as well as parking. And there's now a Winco a block away from Costco in Everett, so it's easy. We start there, then Zoey and I ride the scooter over to Costco. We got stocked up for the weekend at Sun Cove. Found skinny bagels... 110 calories, but that's if you eat top and bottom. 5 gm of fiber, too.

Zoey loves all the attention she gets when we go shopping. I am very impressed with how many parents are teaching their kids to ask me if it's okay before they approach the dog... even little tiny kids!

Keeping up with my daily walk. Back is doing better, knees so so.

Karla... can't believe you pushed that truck!!

Janet... weather here on this side of the mountains is supposed to be decent this weekend, unlike last year!! But we're not taking any chances. We're going where we know it will be warm and sunny! Adam & Alisha both will be spending part of the weekend with us, so that will be nice!

Candice.... Happy Canada Day!!

Linda.... chill. If they find dirt or dust, so be it!!! LOL

I gotta go!! Literally, and time to get ready for PT!!

Hi guys, thanks for the CANADA DAY Wishes!!!!!

I am sitting her with DYE on my hair, gotta go out and SING this afternoon, then tomorrow night, then Sunday too... I hope my VOICE holds up...

it is strange how you just take it for granted that you'll open your mouth and SOUND will come out......plus I talk too much...now there is proof!!!

My Welsh friends got home ok, they just tried to SKYPE me, but NO not with colour on my hair....

Wishing you all WARM weather for the 4th July celebrations.

Wow, was that a whole year ago in Washington State... ya I remember the COLD too..... burrrrr.... but the warmth of friends made it tolerable!!!

HUGS toa ll.

How is Denise doing, any one heard from her????

Good Afternoon Peeps

Yep a yr ago we were in WA - for me it seems like a long long time ago like 2 yrs - don't know why.. Maybe cuz I have done a lot of banding get togethers since then Oct Vegas - Feb Eva & Karen - March Phyl Linda Candic - Vacation in Nov/Dec - Kids here a couple of time - seems like time just has flown by..

Well, got sheets washed dryer just finished - need to get floors mops and carpet semi-wash - rinsing mostly - Idrise cancellled boot camp in the morning - so I guess I better charge my ipod - cuz we don't have gym on Monday..

Just turned the AC on. Not that it's hot by any means, just humid! Have a great day.

Wow, I'm with the rest of you, time has flown. Phyl, you make me tired just listening to you. But you thrive on activity, me I'm the hermit variety.

My Beast (old truck) is back to it's old self and running great. Went and got a load of gravel for around the pond. Just haven't had time to unload it. But I did get some new Koi, hopefully none of them die, or it they do they die while they are under warrente (sp).

I'm feeling really tight, been struggling with solids. Which is strange because I was perfect a few weeks ago. So I guess I'll watch it for a few days, then go in for an unfill.

Well best get started getting ready for work. I hope you all have a fabulous Saturday. Enjoy your holiday!

Good Morning Peeps -

Up at the crack of freaking dawn - Idrise canceled bootcamp - he's moving - suppose to be like 115 today I think - I keep hearing heat warning - but only listening to tv w/1 ear.. Going to finish cleaning house - vacuum finish shampooing carpets - mopping floors - dusting - you all know the routine..

On my 4th cup of coffee - still not hyper yet LOL

Karla - gravel heavy - not good - for your innars lol - be careful

Candic how did you gig go

Linda - at least we have dry heat but suppose to be humid later in the week - saw something w/1/2 eye Monday thunder?? rain and desert heat = humidity - we can take the dry heat himdity and diff beast for us - but since losing weight heat doesn't bother me as much..

Good Afternoon Peeps

Well got the house done - floors mopped/steamed - carpets clean -funiture polished - glass table windexed - patio washed - Idrise called wanted help moving told when I was done - went to his house helped unpack the kitchen - Then Stater Bros - got ribs for Monday ;0) - cooking a pot of beans now - got stuff to make melissa chicken & beef broth - and will make some cream of bean soup for her -

Got home to a message from a high school friend - but I'm too pooped to go anywhere - will call her back later..

Time for the couch ...

Wow Janet! I think you got your workout without going to the gym. I take it that Melissa had her surgery. Keep us posted. How is Karri doing?

Mindy helped me clean out my closet today. Car full of bags went to Goodwill, and some to the dump. Feels good.

Hi Everybody,

100 degrees in the city today. The humidity is not too high, so it's not that bad, and there was a strong breeze today.

Almost finished finding the clothes I need for Mexico.

Still no word on a job yet.

No plans for the 4th. I think we will just stay home.DH has to work.

My friend that lost over 100 lbs with her lap band just taught me something. Sometimes I can't swallow anything. Now I know it's because I am wearing tight jeans. If I have buckle up, zipper pants on, I can't eat. So, I guess this means I am staying in my night gown from now on.

Denise, what is with your school not giving you an answer? I'd be going nuts by now!

Janet, don't worry about the gravel. I only put a few scoop fulls in my wheel barrel, I make sure that it is under 50 pounds, it will take forever to unload, but I know better (in this case) to be careful.

Missed the back of my arms with the sun screen yesterday and did I get a burn. Not blistered, but hurts like heck!

Work today and then tomorrow off. Need to swab out the kitchen. Have been working outside until 9pm then showering and crashing. I think every dish in the house is dirty!

Well best get to it!

hEY Denise, nice to hear from you... we've all been praying for you and a good job. AH Mexico sounds so nice! Ummm night gown all day.... Ummm sounds like HEAVEN to me... how about YOU Janet!!! LOL

Karla, my girl you do push the envelope don't you!! Gravel? Oh my girl, you are justr a busy bee... and I have toadmit I am proud of you - you don't hang around waiting for some MAN to come and do your work for you... you just roll up your sleeves and get'r'done!! I bet you know how to do plumbing too!!

Phyl; I hope you back is still feeling o.k. thank goodness for those shots.... are you still swimming? or do they have that there in Seattle?

Tell Earl he should have bought the FRANCHISE for Wine Aireators... cause since I brought that one hom e from CALI I've told all my friends about it and they LOVE THE THING... take a $5 bottle of plunk and presto chango... nice smooth wine... YeaH=HAW!!

Linda; I am so excited about you coming at month end... I think you will be surprised!

Our gig last night at the Empire Grill and Gastro Pub went extremly well. A huge bunch of people came in early and stayed the whole night listening to us. When our last set was done, a customer said to the waitress, oh can't they play longer???? SO I said to the wait staff, we're o.k. with it but you'll have to ask NICK the owner... cause there will be an extra fee!!! Can you imagine??? I don't know where I get the balls!!!! Oh my.... but NICK made so much money last night off of his bar... he was a very happy camper and is eager for us to go back there on July 30th... so we plugged that performance too on the microphone, so patrons will know to come back.

THey had the whole front of the restaurant opened up onto a patio on the street.. So it was great as our sound carried right out into the neighborhood.... good PR for Nick.. I think we'll be asked back there often.

When we finished our 4th set(and final) Nick came over and wanted to buy us and all of our friends that had come out... free shooters, drinks etc.. It was really cool to be so appreciated...

We're off in a while to another Sr's Res in Richmond Hill, its our first time there, and they are paying well for 1 hour performance... after last night 6-10 p.m. this will be a rest. LOL

Janet: are you off to the gym today? or shopping? Do you have a curent afgan project underway??? what colour are you using....

Well got to get off my @ss and start the beautification process... it take over an hour LOL
