Good Morning,

They keep saying it's going to rain...but haven't seen it yet. Just kind of warm and humid. Ds is on his way to Colorado this morning. Packed up his golf clubs and mountain bike and should be quite a sight truding through the airport! I offered to go along and carry his bags but he didn't think that was a good idea...imagine that!

I'm thinking of shifting gears a bit and trying out evening workouts. It went well last night but then again I seemed to have a lot of energy last night and one night certainly doesn't make a habit. I have weights on the agenda for the evening...so now that I've said it hopefully I'll stick to it. Menus including snacks and water bottles are prepared for the day.

Thankful this morning for good test results, lowered blood pressure and fast test results.

Thankful for my great new shortie haircut.

Thankful for the opportunity for my DS to travel and see other parts of the country.

Thankful for a great boss who gave me an unexpected day off and a pay raise.

Hope whatever is on your agenda that you have a great day.

Susan

Good morning!

That same rain that Susan hasn't had yet either was supposed to arrive Tuesday and afflict us off and on since. I think it got lost in the Plains. No precipitation, just humidity and overcast skies. I imagine that anyone going to the beach today and forgetting her coverup and sunscreen will be in for a heap of pain later.

Thankfuls: For all the things we never think about but that are huge blessings in all our lives. And for ceiling fans that don't wobble or click on the highest setting.

Workout (or playtime) tonight - treadmill and weight machine, with maybe freeweights thrown in, depending on how late it is once I get to the playspace.

Lori, renaming is a good idea - it already sounds almost fun. Almost...

Have a great day, everybody!

Agenda for today: Bible study this AM, Allison at a friend's house this afternoon, so I'll be finishing up DH's birthday cake and wrapping his gifts. Not sure if I'll get in a workout today. Need to finish the bathrooms, and maybe pack a few things for our trip to MIL's (might save that for tomorrow). Tonight, b'day celebration!

I'm thankful that, for the time being, we still live in a nation "under God." If we didn't, it'd be really messy if the current crop of congressmen were given the task of striking out all divine references in the Constitution, and heck, we'd have to question the validity of the Declaration of Independence for the same reason.

Thankful too that The Cus has another birthday under his belt. That just means we've had more time together! After lunch yesterday, we were in his office, and he had to field a few phone calls. Yes, he's grayer than the young man I married, is wearing reading glasses... but I couldn't help but notice how ATTRACTIVE he is to me! I'm a lucky gal.

Workout: LOL! For me, it's a Sweatout! I enjoy it, but it is effort, and I sweat profusely. "Horses sweat, men perspire, but women only glow"... Well, I must have some equine genes within me!

Good morning! I slipped out of CL to get my run in before it gets too hot.I know it sounds crazy but the past few days I have been drenched after my run and I love it.Yesterday I got to listen to at least a half a dozen people whine about the weather.It was wonderful.Pool's up and ready to go and I hope to hit that later.Last night before my last chicken run I spent some time in the hammock.It was so wonderful!!!!!Had a good book, a light rain was falling, does it get any better??

So my playout(like that!!) with be a run and some weights.

Thankfuls; people in my life that really matter, an unexpected email from a special friend this week, thankful for my Dad and that I'm lucky enough to have him with me still, thankful DS has such a wonderful dad, thankful for the 48 and 19 yr old males I have in my house and very grateful I don't have any more!!!!!!, and last but not least very thankful for Natural Instincts.

Tossing around making a meal plan for today and actually sticking with it.Seems so radical though.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Miss P

I haven't worn jeans in so long.

Deb, I think we must have stolen the heat over here. I just checked the local weather station a couple of blocks from our house and it is already 80 degrees at 8:30 in the morning!! I wonder what this afternoon will bring.

It's beach for us this after school. We didn't go yesterday. I got on a roll working in my garden and hauled out the kid's blow up pool for them to cool off. I got a lot accomplished. Weeded a large flower bed that was in dire need and all of my veggy patch. Also re-seeded areas that had been harvested. This afternoon it will be nice to sit by the water with the breeze and read a book. I can wear my new tankini that actually fits me!

It's burgers on the barbie tonight!

I'm thankful for my wonderful dh! He's the light of my life.

Have a good one ladies.

p.s. Patty, I don't know about George! He was insistent that his were not small, nor fuzzy. I didn't realize he raised chickens too! But, I must say, he looked quiet offended when I asked if he actually had any credentials to be a cabana boy. *giggle* Not to worry though. I smoothed things over. I told him you have a pool, and as well as being a princess, (he was very impressed) that you were the Queen of the powerpanties! I didn't want to overdo it and tell him about Frank and the restaurant incident. He might have been intimidated. Is that okay? I also told him about those cute new running shorts and that your dh doesn't seem to like you wearing! He must have been very excited because he hung up on me. I assumed he was dialing your number right away! Did he call? You might mention to him the next time you talk to him that it was a bit rude not to say good-bye though!
