Here you go, my Sweet Violets! Another new home for our daily musings....

Good evening!!

I am tired, I rented that Sandra Bullock movie, can't think of the name starts with a B? Anyways going to lay down and watch the movie.

Hope you are feeling better Michelle and same to you Judy!!

blindside.

DS and I have been working on sprucing up the patio this spring... so today I bought a fire pit and chair cushions... we got a new big umbrella a few weeks ago... planted flowers in the barrels... and tonight we actually hung out on the patio! Amazing! The kids played board games out there while I made dinner, then we bbq'd and ate out there, then we had a fire in the fire pit and toasted marshmallows & enjoyed s'mores! It was so relaxing, sitting out under the stars by the fire... mesmerizing!

Maybe there's hope for my yard yet! Baby steps...

Oh -- and now we all smell like a camp fire -- I love that smell!

Hey girls!

Long day. LOVED Sex and the City!!! If you are a fan, you will; if not, then you will prolly like it!

Laura, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! Can't believe I paid 50bucks for that freakin' virus. Please ask him to add the regular free adware protection thingy...you guys are a life saver!

Judy, think you were hungover from the pills. Glad you are feeling better now! Take it easy this weekend!

Janie, what a great idea for the Bobster! You are always so sweet.

Michelle, your patio sounds FABU!!! We need pix! We want a fire pit, but will wait until Fall. Perhaps you all will be here

Well, remember the "I'm broke" story...IT IS TRUE! I was docked $907 to got to Texas...WWWAAAAHHHHHHH! (incert BIG F BOMBS here). Oh well...I will save all summer!

Big day tomorrow...BA's and Nikki's hubbys are coming over to do some home projects (hanging the bikes on the ceiling in the garage). Then friends over for bbq and chillaxing by the pool in the evening. It is supposed to be mid 90's tomorrow!

Good morning, Violets..

Feeling much better this morning. Nathan said it was probably the pain pills that did the number on me.

I'm broke too, PamELa.... the Canada trip cost us about $700 and we got nothing out of it. At least you got to spend time with the Violets and witness a beautiful wedding.

I gotta tell you though, spending time at home with the Bobster has been very enjoyable. Today I have the WW meeting.. I decided I'm not going to weigh in. I'll weigh in on Wednesdays and go to the meetings on Saturday.

Then I head to the college to practice Hallelujah with the guitar and flute player. After Bob gets back from the funeral, we'll head to Kris's to plant the veggie garden.

Supposed to be 82 today. Perfect pool weather.

Michelle, your patio sounds wonderful. We have a fire pit in the back yard, but don't use it much.

Off to find some breakfast and get ready to meet Kris at the WW meeting.

Everyone have a great day!

good morning, running behind, surprise surprise...

have to go to work,

have a nice weekend!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooo Hooooo....our friend was able to sell two of our tickets for Canada. At least we can recoup some of the loss.

BEAUTIFUL day here today. I've been going through old pictures and sorting them out. Now I'm headed to the side yard to get that cleaned out and ready to be spruced up. I forgot I'd need more mulch for that area. It's beyond our fence and I don't remember it's even there. arghhhhhhhh

MORE mulch? It truly doesn't seem possible!

Why were you docked, Pam? Wasn't it vacay time?

Here's a fire pit pic... will try to get one of the whole patio later today...

Off to take dd to a slumber party & then go to ds's 2nd soccer game of the day! Ta Ta!

love the fire pit Michelle!!

Feeling better?

Pamela, if it makes you feel better, not only do I not get paid when I don't work, I have to pay to not work cause I rent!! We all count on our money so every bit counts!! It sounds like you were counting on that money!! I know that when I take off, no money, that is one of the bad things of being self employed.

Blindside was really good, but I am sure everyone else has already seen it.........

Good morning, Violets..

Well, the Bobster is the big 6-5 today. He had a 3 Musketeer bar for breakfast.. lol Actually he is saving those and having them as a nightly snack, Jane.

We are headed out to get some hamburger and buns for tomorrow. I have the potatoes and eggs done for the potato salad. Then off to get two more bushes. He is going to mow the backyard, but it's too wet now and since I didn't get to the side yard yesterday, that's my goal today.

Pool time this afternoon. It's supposed to get to 88 today so floating around in the pool sounds just perfect.

We got Kris's veggies planted yesterday. Grady was happy to see his other Gramma... me! I'll go back this Thursday to plant some more sugar peas. That way they don't all mature at once and she has a s**t load of peas. (I usually don't say that on Sundays!).:cursing:

Off to get dressed and head out. Everyone make it a great day!!!!

happy birthday bob!!

Have you heard from Joe?

We are off to see Big River, don't recall if I have seen that? Oh well, we are supposed to have storms coming up this afternoon, hope they aren't terrible!!

:cool:

Happy Happy Birthday Bob!

:tongue2: :cursing: :w00t: :scared2:

Morning girls~

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rev. Dr. Pimp-Daddy! xoox

We had a great evening w/ our amigos and grilled chix! Relaxing and then relaxing some more!

Today, I've gotta grade papers and then have my study group for the Nat'l Boards coming over at 3pm.

In between...chillaxing!

Have a great day!

Am off to one of my bf's (the one who's dd had to go to that treatment school in Utah (and who's doing great now!)) master's grad party... I made a mocha bundt cake and crab dip... mmm...

DS & dh are at another soccer game... if they win this one, then the "prize" is that they get to play for the championship @ 8am tomorrow! Um, how is THAT a prize?? :cursing:

Am wearing capris that I couldn't pull 1/2 way up earlier this year! Still a bit snug, but they're up & zipped (& I have a long peasant-type blouse over them), so I'm calling it a win!

Enjoy the day!
