Hi Everybody!

I got home at 12 midnite and have been playing catch-up with grocery shopping, laundry and playing with the rat sisters...So hello and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Karrie and anyone else that had one that I wasn't around to post to!

Arizona was WONDERFUL and AMAZING !!! We went hiking, swimming, sightseeing, shopping and ATE our way thru Tempe, Scottsdale and North Scotttsdale....Every other night we had an over the top dinner, and on the off nights, Taco Bell. I stuck to my 'diet' as best I could without feeling I missed out on anything...I had a mango margarita, beer, chocolate fudge pie, a chocolate toffe brownie from Starbucks, Ghiradelli dark chocolate (anyone notice a theme, here?)and a KING SIZE SNICKERS at the North Carolina airport. NOT ALL OF THIS AT ONCE!!!! I just chose my junk wisely and skipped the mashed potatoes but boy did I eat good!!! I love Taco Bell!

And I only gained a pound and a half, which will be gone by Wednesday.

I did get a little sunburned but I am tanner than I have ever been, so I will let it fade and give my skin a chance to heal.

I missed our rat babies!!!! They seemed happy to see 'Mom and Dad' ! Kyle had a great birthday - we went to a local Guitar Center and I bought him a bunch of guitar stuff and let him play and fool around for two hours and then we went to dinner.

So I'm trying to cath up on the posts and I see some of this is the same old thing. I have to say I love seeing deleted posts because I am DYING to know how bad it was that caused it to get pulled. I am saddened to see some of the nasty, thoughtless, cowardly posts by some people, especially Dramagueen too's posted response about a Mother's day treat... That was very disheartening to read. And still the argumentative stance from

Pat/Forte/Kinja/Roving Gnome/PAT/Hippolytes/PATPATPAT is REALLY GETTING OLD.

If she/they are reading this (I doubt it)I just wish they had something else to contribute

besides talking to themselves and prattling on about how life and dieting is so easy and how perfect they are, stop riding people who want to enjoy a slice of freakin' cake on their birthday - HEY, I had a HUGE SLICE of fudge pie, and it wasn't my birthday, I just WANTED IT - and stop being so @!#*&&%$#!$%$%%$#@!!$*%$@ difficult. Life is too short to be such a !@$@!$$%)*^&%@@! ?(&#@!#@!##!@&%$#!. If YOUR LIFE is so well managed, then get the %##@!#@ off this board, please. OUR lives are NOT so cut and dry and we really have no time or patience for this %$$!$#%##@ attitude anymore.

ANY WAY, ladies, it's nice to be home and I will be playing more catch up....

Missed you !

Hi! We are glad to be back!!! (it's SO green here! All the leaves 'boinged' out while we were gone). I was very busy when we got home(I let an officer's wife use my car while we were gone and I had to have an on-duty officer pick me up so I could retrieve it, so Kyle played with the girls for a while first.)

We got the girls a new 'house' as a treat because their grass ball is completely shot, has several blow-outs and is 'ratty' looking LOL! So we got a wooden 'condo' with a window and door.

They checked it out, conversed amongst themselves, and came to an executive decision that THEY HATE IT. So back in the grass ball goes for now!

Hey Gerry! I'm glad to be home so I can get back to healthy eating..it was a bit tough but I did the best I could and treated myself, too. (I've lost a half a pound again already so I'm on the right track at least...BUT THE CHOCOLATE!!!!)

Gonna start barkin' again!
