Hello everyone,
watched idol last night and think archie did better than cook. I was able to vote several times(lost track after 15) for cook. Little worried was able to get thru easy w/o many busy signals. We'll see tonight. they are both very talented. Just checked dialidol.com. They are predicting Cook so we'll see.
I guess several of the idols are supposed to be doing duets tonight.

Nikki- whoo hoo on wi!!!
Sue- wish I could have a spa weekend that'll have to wait until mom leaves for FL again, every weekend need to go down and check up on her.

alrighty did get a Amer express gift cheque from work for a performance bonus. A nice amt, may use on new bowling shoes. Gotta see where I can get some, the last place closed several yrs ago.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Good morning guys,

Can I just say it feels sooooo good to be back on track? I feel like I have my life back. Remind me to give my boss a hug for letting me work from home 3 days a week. Today is an in office day so I've gotta hurry...just wanted to pop in and say good morning.

Last night was my first night back at my meeting. I LOVE this leader...she was so sweet, even remembered me from a year ago. I got teary when I got on the scale and it was a bit higher than at home (now keep in mind, jeans, etc...it was only in the 50's in indy yesterday...what's up with that???)...anyway, she was super sweet. I was horrified that my BMI showed "obese", dear god, when did that happen. I remember when I first met Barb back on BCB and I thought I was heavy at 145! Yikes! So, the official do over starting weight is 186 . Need to adjust the old ticker... Anyway, good to be back in the groove.

Nik - congrats lady! So proud of you, that's a fantastic loss!
Terry - you feelin' better today kiddo? I made some taco soup the other night...low points and filling.
Barb and Sue - careful in the heat girlies...come to Indy
Lizzy - bummer about the shoes but cool about the gift card!

Have a great day guys...gotta scoot.

Morning girlies! Boy what a night..we had several major storms come through...no lights for over 3 hours...hail, wind, trees down...DH was late coming home due to a wreck that he was a witness at that happened because of a hail storm and the fog that set in afterwards and then once he got about 5 miles from the house, there was no way in...trees and power lines everywhere..he back tracked about 15 miles to get past one section of the road and then got on the final 2 mile stretch and wham, blocked...had to turn back and detour another 7 miles to come around the other side. GEEEZZZ....guess it was cleaned up this morning-didn't hear anything different from him after he left out. Needless to say his mood was totally pissy and then get home to a hot house, no supper and no electricity..LOVELY night and somehow it rolled over to this morning..I was glad to see him leave out.

Things went well for DD yesterday @ school...I guess it was all old news now and they pretty much left her alone and her cowboy made it official last night over the phone so they are a couple and he talked to her about just ignoring people and if they kept on bothering her he would handle things so she was in a much better mood. Also found out that the h/s boys that were saying stuff to her ARE NOT friends with him which is what I figured to begin with..troublemakers!

As for cheering...please send her good vibes everybody...she said it is so much harder than m/s..they are SERIOUS with their stuff..you should see the rule book she had to sign off on before she could even try-out. Try-outs are Thurs afternoon so keep her (and me) in your thoughts.

Nikki...woman you rocked with that w/i!!!! awesome!!!!
Lori..so glad you are working from home some...I looked for a pic of the palimino but couldn't find one at work..will try looking here and get one to you..also on the horse with cushings, we hadn't put her on anything yet..the vet gave us some other things to try before going to meds..like the amount of protein in her feed, etc..her main sympton is a "tick" in her head and of course not shedding her coat and she has draft in her too so she does look like a shaggy dog.
Lizzy...a mom worse than mine on shaving..AMAZING!!!

Geez Nik, you're way to happy for 5:30 am with no coffee yet Fantastic w/i girlfriend. Nice job. Keep it up!

Lori-I know seeing the numbers is harsh, but necessary. Glad you got to your meeting and you're feeling good and back on track.

Terry-I thought it was hs girls, lol. Glad its all worked out. Yikes, a high school boyfriend. Hope travel is ok this morning.

It's supposed to cool down today, and into the weekend. A 35 degree temp drop expected. That's the thing about the desert...big temp swings. The grass in the backyard is so dead that it crunched under my feet last night, so I'm committing to actually watering the yard. When it's that dead I worry about fire.
I'm a bit sore this morning. I stepped up my weight workout yesterday because I hadn't really been feeling it. I am now, lol.

Have to get to work, short day today. Ds has early release. Will check in later

Peace,
Sue

Sue..it was m/s girls that were causing problems @ school for her but 2 h/s boys that actually crushed her feelings the other night at the ballfield...yeah he is in h/s--9th..but you gotta remember DD is going to be there in the fall so it isn't as scary as it looks..LOL! I think I would feel better with her going to h/s if she did have a b/f already--at least that is somebody to watch out for her..know what I mean? This is the point where I wish my kids were closer in age and DS would be there at least for 1 year with her until she gets used to the "jungle".

Dead grass already--YIKES!!!!!

Morning squirrels!
Having some coffee and trying to get the kids out the door! Chy's last day is tomorrow and she now has a cold! Just in time for finals! Uck! Holly still has a couple of weeks left!

Nikki~ Yep I got a blackjack a while ago. It took me a while to learn everything but last week I was able to get myself on here from the pool at the gym! LOL! I'll help ya any way I can girl! Yeah on your loss! You are rockin'!

Lizzy~ I voted too last night! I hope David C. Wins! Can't stand that little guy!

LoriT~ Ok can I come over this weekend and play with your animals? I'd love to get out of this heat although like Sue said, big temp. change this weekend! Crazy weather!

Terry~ So it's official huh? Cool! I'm glad things are calming down there. I will be wishing her good luck with cheer! How exciting! And yipes about the storms!

Sue~ Luckily we have a drip system so I don't have to remember to water! I don't think I would! Don't you just love those early release days? NOT! Chy is out at 11:20 and Holly at 12:30 today! I think we are going to hit the pool and I can get some laps in!

Ok be back later! In between the time I have to get the girls I'm going to work today! And laundry and clean, etc! LOL

Good morning lovely ladies! There are just not enough hours in a day...excercise just sucked so far..karate went late last night so there went that. I'm workin' it as soon as I get in. I think I'll be doing the dreaded hunt at lunch time today for a bathing suit , lord help me!

Lizzy~How long is mom with you?? Hope you have a good day.

Terry~ Crossing fingers and toes for DD!! and glad things cleared up!

Lori~ Hey girlfriend, I have a good feeling you're gonna knock those lbs. right off, you're on the right track!!

Nikki~ AWESOME JOB GIRLIE!! That's wonderful!

Barb~ Wow it sounds really HOT! See, I don't think I could handle that, how do you deal with the heat?

Sue~ Sounds like you'll be very busy once in PA! Enjoy your time with the family...I stay away from Mayfair..cause I would be buying some funnel cake..YUM!

Yeah...the funnel cake will kill ya.
You just made me think of funnel cake. Good thing they have no clue what that is out here in the desert.

Didn't lift weights today...my legs are TIRED. They are not used to being back to work. So I let them ride only. Tomorrow I'm going to shoot for 2 cycling classes and weights...it's my last day of "freedom". I've already told ds he's going to have to suck it up and hit the daycare at the gym a few times a week.

Ok, gotta run and get him, been home for all of about 15 minutes...you'll all laugh at me. I have to take dh shopping on Friday for wedding attire, because he fits into nothing he owns that's fancy. So in order to lessen the collateral damage to me...I preshopped I now have a list of 3 stores where he should be able to get something appropriate and in his size. I'm tricky
