Anna~ I just had to get on here.....I know it's bad but I was cracking up, the way you told the story was sooo vivid I could picture this happening, do you have the "Burbs" as your neighbors?

Hey Girls! Life hhas been crazyfor a few days so I have been MIA. I have missed you. DH was called out of town unexpectedly, so he is outside of Chicago right now. His maternal grandmother that he grew up two doors down from is in the hospital and not doing well. Then there has been the usual swim meets and daily activities. This afternoon I am headed to the dentist. I also need to call and get appointments for the kiddos. I just my knee on Saturday doing Yoga X, so I have had to take a few days off from working out. BUT, the knee is feeling better now. I am about to give Hip Hop abs a try. If all goes well with the knee today, then I will get back to P90X.

Lizzy~ Hope the ankle is feeling better soon!

Allison~ I hear you with the rain! No tan to be had around here. Six Flags on Friday and the Beach in August - I am jealous!

Barb~ Good job on counting those points.

Lori~ Thanks for checking in... safe travels to you.

Anna~ I wouldn't worry about the dog/neighbor incident. If you ask me, I think your dog could obviously pick up on the fact your neighbor is goofy!

Liz~ You sneaky girl! Hope you are having a good one at work.

Hey girls, running way behind on stuff to be done. Faith has to go to the dentist and Brett's "starving." So, happy day to everyone. I will miss WI today because Faith's appt is at 4 and I won't want to WI having traveled (40 miles total but I'll still gain water!) and TOM arrives today and I am impatiently waiting. I just don't need another crappy WI! LOL
Smooches!

Wow sounds like we are all doing the dentist thing huh? LOL!
Hi Xan and Emily!

off to type..............

anyone catch Hell's Kitchen last night? I was so bummed that she won. I really liked Petrozza and he looked like he was fainting at the end! Poor guy! I hope he gets an offer from someone else!

b

barb: i am sorry but i am cracking up that you liked petrozza.
everytime they showed him talking i told dh i thought he was an actor.
i watched all season and honestly wasn't digging on anyone. it was a bizarro cast that's for sure. i really thought cori would win.

i like tree fruit too...just not plums. i know i am being cranky because
aside from the dogbite this lady bugs me anyways. dh got me all worked up
too because he kept telling me we could get sued, lose our home and
animal control could ring our doorbell and take skoshee away.
he was in the shower when this happened and i was cooking dinner, i almost didn't answer the door, now i wish i wouldn't have.

and liz-she is something out of a movie. she had on some really weird smock like thing.

ok i'm done ranting.

i need some water!! i'm parched.

Ohh Barb~ You and I are right there on Hell's Kitchen!! DS and I were pissed Petrozza didn't win, I thought he was gonna fall down the stairs!

Glad someone else liked him (anna)! He did remind me of that actor from gosh I can't remember that program with David Spade? LOL! Yeah I didn't really care for the other ones, I thought that Matt was a total crazy guy and Jen was just awful! she had such a pissy look on her face all the time! Guess it makes for good tv though! LOL!

Maybe you should check on your neighbor today....you know the one that lives in the Edward Scissorhand neighborhood? LOL! That would show good gesture on your part and you could see if she is upset or calling the authorities on you and your pooch oh and can you pick up some plums for me? LOL (did I make you smile cranky pants? )

b

i was thinking that...maybe i'll bring her a little vase of flowers...picked from my yard of course-tit for tat right??
barb you can have the dogbite plums, i'll bring them with me tonight when
we have our rice cook off.
i can't put my finger on who petrozza reminded me of, i almost want to say gilbert godfrey but i know that's not it. matt was totally crazy and always looked on the verge of anguish and despair, and jen-whoa-she was just awful.
oh and thanks you always make this cranky pants

Make sure there are no thorns in your flowers!

and.....your on baby, as Iron Chef says........battle...........rice! Ohkesai............
