1. That dang weatherman has really got my goat. He's been promising me 60 degree weather for 2 whole weeks now, and the best we've seen is mid-fifties. Teach me to complain about 48...yesterday's high was 46! He's promising 60's for tomorrow...but I ain't gonna hold my breath. C'mon man! I have a garden to get going!!!

2. The cat broke one of my bedroom lamps yesterday. I'm beyond po'ed at her. We bought those lamps in 1973...and at the time we paid $75.00 a piece for them which hubby thought was totally outrageous for bedroom lamps, but I had my heart set on them...so after visiting just about every furniture store in San Diego I'm betting at least 40)...he reluctantly gave in and bought"my lamps". I've always said that in case of fire...the first thing to save were those bedroom lamps. Now one is busted. Hubby, ever the resourceful one simply turned the broken part to the wall and claimed that no one would ever know that there is a whole piece missing. Not willing to part with it even under these dreadful circumstances, I am willing to live with it. I don't expect visitors to my bedroom any time soon, and we certainly aren't going to look back there! At least it was the one on his side of the room.

1. Mary, I'm sorry about your lamp. It sucks when something that has meaning to you is broken.

1.5 My aunt has a statue of David (about 4 ft tall) sitting on her night stand next to the window in her bedroom. My uncle Cecil gave it to her many, many years ago on their anniversary (he died almost 30 years ago, they were married 24 and he'd given it to her early in their marriage...so many, many years she's had it.) Wednesday sis went in to cook breakfast and found aunt crying at the table. She'd opened her window the night before because it was warm and early in the morning the winds had kicked up terribly and a big gust came up and knocked the statue into bed with her. The head and one of the legs broke off and she was just devestated. I took over some glue and bil patiently pieced (there was more damage to it than aunt had thought) the statue back together. I was there this morning when he took it back in to her and she was so tickled to see it fixed. We're gonna have to find a new place for David to stay though, I know it was a really freak accident, but can't have statues falling into bed with her!

2. I am cold. I'm sitting here with a long sleeved shirt, a sweatshirt, and my blanket freezing. This is not a pleasant start to the weekend.

3. Darren gets off work at 1 today and is off for the next week for vacation. He was just off sick for a week at the begining of the month. LOL, really I love having him home, but while he's kicking back relaxing, I don't get a vacation.

1) it's getting so hot here - I so hate the hot weather because it just drains me & I like to keep too busy to feel all drained out. We've barely hit 100 but the high 90's are bad enough. Gosh, I am not looking forward to the next 4 months.

2) haven't been in here in awhile - putting in the mega hrs at the office STILL. I've been getting there around 7:30 am, not taking a lunch break (don't worry, this girl ain't doing without eating - bring breakfast & lunch & eat while I work), not leaving until 6:30 pm or later.

3) I'm terrible - I spent about $1,000 on my new NordicTrac exercise mach. about 2 months or so ago & I've only been on it twice & only for like 5 min. each time. I'm scheduled to finally get my 1st of 4 vacations for 2008 the 2nd wk of June & intend on becoming "friendly" with the thing.

4) I'm going to be off the next 3 days because of the holiday - can you believe that. Going to catch up the laundry, cook out, drink some bacardi/diet cokes, & most importantly - get some rest. Happy & Safe Holiday to all!

1. My CT Scan came out normal. Now just wondering why I have odd headaches. I think it's post-concussion healing.

2. We had a tornado last night, but I have no damage. I think that it went back up when it blew over my town, but I haven't seen the news to see the damage. I am hearing lots of hammering today, but I think that might be Memorial Day home fix-its!

3. I found out that I have wireless in my bathroom. The water table here is too high for basements (and my neighbors with in-ground pools have problems with them). The cat has been hiding under the sofa most of the night and morning.

4. My pool is still green, but the pump works. I had it settled and started vacuuming before last nights storms stirred it all up. Oh, well, the filter is just going to have to take care of the gunk!

5. I have a week of having my house to myself before my house sitter moves in. I'm going to enjoy that week!

Have a great holiday, everyone!

1. I'm glad your ct scan came out normal Schoolmarm and I hope your headaches go away soon.
2. I love 3-day weekends. a

3. I took my nephew and son to the beach yesterday. It was a little cool but the sand was warm.

4. Today is pajama day in my house. A little house work and a lot of relaxation!

5. My weeds are finally dying. Thank you Jeep and Ortho Total Vegetation Killer. lol!

6. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!!

1. Marm, maybe you're just headache prone like I am. Though I've been this way my whole life. My last eye exam the doctor wanted to know if I'd been having headaches with my bad vision...said I have them all the time, she wanted to know why I didn't come in...uhm, cuz it's not unusual! Migraines, sinus, stress, light, noise, not sleeping enough, too much sleep, no caffiene, period, etc, etc.

2. I do hope yours get better though!

3. Been a nice weekend, we puttered around the house mostly. Cleaned, did yard work, worked on my mosiac table.

4. This was our one weekend out of 8 we had no plans. Felt wonderful!

5. Caleb's birthday is Wednesday, he's gonna be 12. Can someone tell me how the heck that happened?

6. We're having a party Friday night, family and some of his friends from school are coming. Sometimes this summer, we're going to Disneyland and California Adventure for his big gift.

7. Our weather is still pretty yucky. Cold and windy, though today was a bit warmer than it's been. Hoping it clears up this week!

1. We decided too late we wanted a Wii Fit.
2. They came out last Wed and every where we went people just laughed at us when we asked if they had any.
3. They guy at GameStop told us that only the serious gamers got one because they had the smarts to preorder.
4. He also said we wouldn't be able to get one for at least 6 months.
5. He was wrong. I found one at a Walmart [not the one in our town] yesterday.
6. We love love love it! Fitness made fun!
7. I sure am sore today, even after only 30 minutes total of "playing".
8. My favorite from last night was watching hubby "hula hoop" his patootie off cuz I beat his first score.

1. Ohhhhhhhh Serate, I want one! We've been talking about it for awhile but decided we're not going to try too hard to find one yet, if we luck out, yay! If not, we'll get one eventually.

2. Caleb didn't get to go on his field trip. Teachers sick.

3. It's his 12th birthday. Still not sure how that happened!

4. Kota's going to get to pitch during her last game. She's totally excited and working this week with her coach (games next Monday.) This is what she wants to do next season.

5. We stopped by this morning to visit little nephew. I haven't seen him in a week and a half, I sure do miss him! He was very happy to see me though and we got to have a nice little visit.

6. I need to be cleaning my house and wrapping some gifts. Haven't done it yet, but I have some time.

7. Darren's enjoyed his week off. He's vegged, taken a couple naps, and hung out close to home. He's also done some yardwork and fixed the breaks on his car. Now if I can just get him to wash my car or something.

8. We've had a couple nice days together though. Tomorrow we're talking about going to see Indiana Jones.

9. PJ has gotten so hyper. She's as cute as can be though, she gets so excited she jumps up on her hind legs and hops across the room, lol.

1.5 Thanks Cinnamongirl! Caleb will be tickled seeing birthday messages here today!

8.5 Kota had a field trip to the Borax mines earlier this month. It's our schools big 4th grade trip (they study minerals, rocks, etc in science this year.) She had a blast!

1. The Wii Fit insulted me! Did the body test and after one test it said "Balance doesn't seem to be your forte'. Do you trip over your own feet a lot?" MEANIE! *L*

Serate!! I was just posting about the Fit in another thread and Wargod pointed me towards you. Have you figured out the hula hoop? I am just about killing myself whipping my pelvis around but can't get more than 3 before the hoop falls off. Tried bouncing left and right, rotating my feet instead of my hips, etc... just can't get it!!

PS I got the same message about my balance too!! The first time I did the test it told me my fitness age was 87!!!!!!! RFLOL

1. ROFL, Serate! Wargod led me here because I am thinking of getting the Wii Fit. I have zero balance, practically, because my inner ears were damaged (same way I lost my hearing) and so my center of balance was maimed terribly. I can only imagine what it will say to me! It will probably also ask me if I am the Goodyear Blimp when it takes my weight!

2. I am trying sooooo hard to get back on track with eating right and exercising again. I have plans!

OH NO!! Don't be scared Hermione. LOL There are multiple exercises in each section so you don't need to do the ones you don't like. For example, within the Yoga section there are multiple poses but you don't hit start and it goes through every one.. instead you pick the pose, do it, then pick the next one you want to do. So if you find something that just doesn't work for you, you just don't pick it... repeat the others instead. Likewise in the aerobics section you can run in place or do the step (I LOVE the step, very easy and cute music) but nothing is forcing you to do both. Almost every exercise measures your balance while you are doing it as a feedback mechanism to improving your balance so you would probably get a lot of benefit from it (even if it asks you if you trip over your own feet a lot in the beginning LOL)

1) vacation - yoohoo! got on the norditrack cx1000 & stayed on for 3 min.

2) did something for me - went shopping & got a new purse & 3 outfits.

3) this vac. is going to be so hard for me - I don't need to go shopping & I can't stand housework. What the HELL am I going to do with myself?

1. Today was the first day of summer break. Was pretty nice.

2. So far, Caleb had a friend over Friday night. We went to a party Saturday. Yesterday Dakota's best friend spent the night and today the girls went to the friends house to spend the night. Tomorrow my nieces are coming over. Ah well, it's keeping the kids busy.

3. We splurged and took Caleb out to dinner tonight. We don't often get the chance for both of us to do something with the kids individually so that was really nice.

4. Kota's team mom called today to tell us they weren't having practice today but would tomorrow. I'm glad she called...I thought they weren't practicing til next week!

5. I am looking forward to the NYC TVCH meet in a week and a couple of days! WHOO HOO!

1) I'm at oldest dd's (her family lives 2 1/2 hours southeast of me). I got here about 6 pm yesterday & will go home after lunch tomorrow.

2) dd has to work until about 2 today (she is the business mgr of a multi-DR office). They don't schedule any appts for the afternoon on fridays but it's usually 2 or a little after until she can get away.

3) I've been up for 2 1/2 hrs & am finding myself very bored (3 1/2 yr old grandaughter is still getting her beauty sleep).

4) I've played with all of the critters & even made myself a turkey sandwich & drank a diet dr pepper.

5) I'm glad that DD has wireless internet here though because I brought my laptop & my go anywhere with you internet connection that I pay $43 a month for & am committed to for 2 yrs.

6) I'm po'd about this internet co. because it couldn't even pick up any signals here. Trust me, they will hear from me. I'm considering trying to get them for false representation or something.

7) I'm wanting the wireless kind sooooo badly now & know it wouldn't be any more costly. Besides all that, I hardly go anywhere anyway & it's nice sitting on dd's couch with my laptop on my lap instead of at home where I'm all hooked up with wires.

1. My nieces and Kota's bf rounded out the week of kidlet visitors. Nieces spent Wednesday night here tooo.

2. Today I told Kota no friends or cousins, she needed to have a day with nothing to do. Caleb's buddy came over at 6 though and he's spending the night.

3. BIG BIG difference with boys having sleep overs. I say this everytime Caleb has a friend over, lol. With the girls, they giggle and scream, and squeal even after they get in bed and should be asleep. I listened to Kota and her bf the other night talking and giggling until almost 4 am. Told Caleb and his buddy bed time, walked them back and turned the light out. Came back a while later and all I hear is two boys snoring, lol.

4. Of course over dinner they were telling each other gross stories and cracking up, something girls don't do too often!

5. Kota was asleep on the couch at 6. She laid down with a headache and it's really worn her down. Put her in my bed at 7, she slept til I woke her up at 9 when Darren went to bed and got in her own bed and went right back to sleep. I sure hate that that's one thing I've seemed to pass on to her.

6. I have to take the kids shopping tomorrow. Not only is Father's Day this weekend, but Darrens birthday is on Tuesday.

5.2) Lakecat, have you been to Brownwood? They have a pretty nice lake there. I don't know if you have kidlets or not, but they also have the reputation of having a good school system & they do pretty well in 4A sports too. (I live in Abilene but would not mind at all a little smaller city like Brownwood or Stephenville).

1) I got home from Glen Rose (oldest DD & family live there) about 2:00 this afternoon.

2) All 3 dogs & 2 cats acted like I'd just returned from a wk or longer outing & I was only gone 2 days.

3) I totally unpacked 1st thing because I know me, if I don't do it as soon as I get home I'll procrastinate & be living out of my suitcase a bit for a wk or so.

4) DD treated me to my 1st ever pro. manicure & pedicure. I'm 50 & have always done my own but now I think I'll be pampering myself with this little luxury once a month or so.

5) heck, my 3 1/2 yr old grandaughter gets her fingers & toes done (they only chg $10 for her & she is so cute & GOOD while they paint her - she doesn't get manicured or pedicured - just painted & she gets the flowers with the "diamonds" on her thumbs & big toes.)

6) We went shopping after the nail thing & I was able to take care of SIL's birthday (DD said he needed clothes & won't buy them for himself so I told her an amount I would spend but she would have to pick them out). Also, DD's b-day is July 20 & she's going to Vegas in a couple wks so I went ahead & got her some really cute "Vegas" clothes & shoes. Grandaughter & I each got a new outfit (like either of us really needed one).

7) I guess I'll appreciate going back to the office on Monday because I really can't afford to not work LOL. I spent over 1g this last wk so it's "I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go".
