Morning Lizzy!! Not much of interest here either...I have a meeting to go to this morning and then heading to the mainland to get my nails filled and take my kitchen blueprints into Home Depot and get an idea of cabinets and crap. That's it for me!!! Hope you all have great weekends...I'll check in later...

Morning. Quick check in before we head ou to Becca's soccer game. It is a beautiful day here today. Hoping to get some time outdoors after soccer. Unfortunately Jason had to work today. Thanks for all the congrats on potty training - two days down and Mateo is still doing well. We'll seehow it goes today being away from home....

Lizzy~ Enjoy your time at your mom's today. Hope you get lots accomplished. Is your weather nice?

Nik~ Nails done and Kitchen planning on the mainland! Sounds like a nice Saturday!

Everyone else to follow have a great day!!!

Good Morning Ladies.

I had a good nights sleep....went to bed fairly early although I did set the alarm to wake up. Garrett was already awake this morning.
On tap today is a little bit of cleaning(which I already started) and then at 11:00(he decided this no clue why) Garrett and I are taking Sasha for a walk for 2 miles. LOL Then some grocery shopping and home. I would like to work with him on riding his new bike so we could take a ride together. Worse comes to worse later, if he doesn't want to do that, he can take his scooter and I will grab the rollerblades and we can hit the trail.

No clue when Kevin is coming home yet. He must be feeling badly about it as he bought me a present online last night. As long as he sends it to the correct address this time. LOL

Lizzy.......Hope it goes well at Mom's.

Nikki.....enjoy the mainland! I did my nails yesterday.

Em......It is going to be a nice one today! Enjoy it!!!!!!

Alrighty....gonna run.

BTW.....Four days, 2 hours, 1 minute and 4 seconds. 81 cigarettes not smoked, saving $17.68. Life saved: 6 hours, 45 minutes.

Another quick check in while Garrett is watching BenTen.
I did all the cleaning I am going to do today, just had breakfast and we are going to go for a walk in a bit. Might help if I got dressed huh?
I feel kind of nauseous this morning.....I know it has to be the meds, but that doesn't make it better.

I have to figure out what to make for din din for the 2 of us too. I made the stuffed cabbage casserole in the crockpot yesterday, so I do have that. I know he won't eat it though.

Oh well....I have to bring my clothes up and get dressed.

Have a great rest of your morning!

Morning girls...nice overcast day here. I love these days. Have a fresh coat of paint on my hair...cupcake pink...my fave. Purple was too dark and hard to maintain, and honestly, I found it kind of depressing. My hair was that color when I graduated college, and my dad had done his first cancer surg right before graduation, and was pretty sickly looking at that point. I'll never forget how mortified he was when his colostomy bag burst at my grad reception. I think it was just constantly reminding me of that moment. So, out with the purple, and in with the pink.

Today I am heading to Home Depot for a tiling workshop, and while I'm there I'm going to pick up some patio pavers and some sand, so I can make a little space in my garden for tool storage and such, and to put my water collection bin when I set that up. I'm planning on collecting water from rain in the bin, and then using it to irrigate my garden. Devon wants to plant seeds tomorrow, so I'll have to re-weed the back bed. I was holding off because I was thinking of actually making it a sitting area, but I'll leave it for him to have a garden. Need to kill the weeds and bring the grass up in the backyard...the dog is started to stink again.

Jen-how long do you have to stay on the meds? I'm curious if you could just power through at this point, since the worst is behind you. Have fun with Garrett.

Lizzy-enjoy the beach. Have to admit I'm jealous, even though I know you're there working I feel so freaking land locked here.

Nik-have fun planning! Fun stuff.

Em-ahh the ups and downs of potty training. I think I'm still going there at 9. It's all good though. He does his own laundry.

Ok-made some BAAAADDD food choices yesterday. Dusting myself off and starting over today. Won't get to the gym, but will get a dog walk in, especially since the weather is so nice.

Peace out mamacitas,
Sue

Happy Saturday ladies!

I was MIA yesterday, had to actually work! Yikes! LOL I got an afternoon shift doing reception at the place where I volunteer. So I didn't get online till after DD was in bed, and by then I was too toasted to type!

This morning took DD to another Walmart-type store we have here in search of a sunhat and some t shirts and stuff. Not much luck at Walmart for that stuff lately. Anyway we found about 4 t shirts for 5 bucks each, with cute sayings on them like "Think Green" and "Hug a Tree" LOL so I couldn't pass those up. I'm glad all the eco-awareness stuff is trendy at the moment, and we're implementing all we can, but I had to laugh at that. Got her a little rake and shovel set too, so she can help mum and dad clean up from the winter!

So that took all morning, and that was fine b/c I was mad at DH anyway and wanted to stay out of the house. I left him a loooooooong list of housework to do!! After lunch we got out the stroller and washed it all down with Mr. Clean and also a big rubbermaid tote I had that we'll use for DD's outside toys. There are so many little projects around the house that need doing!! They've been put off for so long while I waited for DH to come to his senses and become a nice guy and take pride in the house and do them....well this year I've smartened up and I'm going to do them myself. No more half-arsed house projects!! I'm even going to buy some worky-looking overalls to wear working around the yard and the house.

Oh - I bought a new floppy bucket-type sunhat this morning and the sides snap up to make it into a cowboy hat thingy! DH HATES it! LOL I LOVE it!! It's kind of funny - it reminds me not to take things too seriously!!

So anyway....I think I'm going to go start a crochet project I need to get going on, I'm pooped and I have to take DD out to a friend's after nap so I'd better get some rest in while I can.

Sue ~ I love that pink colour you use! I've been so tempted to try it myself but I'm too chicken! I think it would look so cool when it grew out and was just the tips - I'm dark blonde. I even have spiky hair so it would go! But I don't think it would go with my boring mom clothes lol. I can totally understand how the purple would give you flashbacks like that.

Jen ~ How was your 11:00 walk? LOL

Lizzy ~ I'm glad you've been sleeping better.

Nikki ~ Sounds like you have an awesome day planned!

Em ~ Enjoy the weather!

that's it for me! Later days!

Good Afternoon there lovelies! Busy morning--DD & I decided at last minute to ride horses--enjoyed some 1-on-1 time with her. She had broken it off with the b/f this week so thought she needed some "mom" time. Doesn't seem to have upset her any though--guess that means she was ready.

Got an engagement party to go to @ 6 tonight...food should be fairly easy but I am worried about the drinks..YIKES!!! Anyway, plan to have myself a REALLY good time...I am due one!!

About it for me today--Sue, overcast here too and threatening rain--hope it holds off at least until after midnight--party is outside by a pool.

[color="Red"]Good afternoon all.

We had a nice walk this morning....me, Garrett and Sasha. Garrett lead the way and let me also say that I am so happy that my little town has garbage cans all over since I did bring a bag for Sasha. hehehe By the time we were done, poor girl was sooooooooo tired. We'll get her into shape though!

After that we went grocery shopping. I love going to the particular store I have been going to....they have a place in there called The Eagle's Nest that is free babysitting! Plus the fact that their meats and product are just a million times nicer and they have sooooooo many more products. They are a little more expensive, but I think it is worth it.(Not sure Kevin feels the same though!)

So we are home now and I think I am going to enjoy my coffee on the front porch and bring my crochet out there too.

Sue.,..,..I love your pink hair, I think better than the purple. I am not sure about the not taking this med....the side effects are definately less than they first were, but I reallllllly for some reason am craving a smoke today. I think because I am not feeding my face. LOL

Sarah......I think it is great that you are going to do your stuff yourself. That is why I did the living room in the fall....if I had to wait, it would never get done. I am leaving him the dining room though....he just doesn't know it yet.

Terry.....glad you guys had a nice ride. Forgot to tell you, Jess is all excited because my friend that is watching them after school lives around the corner from Hunter. Lord help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone,
back from mom's. wish she had the water on so I could have stayed there overnight. Got another couple hr's work house cleaning, yard work and starting to move out outside furniture.
Also took a walk along a nature trail that I hadn't gone on since dad died. Nice long distance view of the ocean.Didn't go to the beach this time. Got a Super wally world trip in and got 4 pkgs of flat outs,(they only had italian- not my fav) but since I rarely come up w/ them around here, had to stock up. Now going to put on some shorts in a few and sit outside and relax.

Nikki- cool about the kitchen planning. but ugh about the $$
Em- hope DD does well @ her game. weather sunny and in the 60's today
Jen- poor sasha but everyone got some exercise in.keep up the great job w/ the cigs

Sarah- sounds like some nice outfits for dd and the hat for yourself
Terry-bummer about dd breaking up w/ b/f. GL w/ the party tonight
