Good Morning! After not seeing a lawn trash pick-up truck for the past two Weds., I'm happy to see one this morning. I have a driveway full of "tree," plus about a dozen contractor size bags of trash that I'd really like to get taken away, so I could put the car in the driveway again. They have a piece of heavy eqp. following the truck to pick up all the storm debris.
Ivan really has been the terrible. When I heard a tornado had hit up around Dulles International Airport, I thought about Sassy and you. Sure hope you guys (and Cusette in Carolina) are all OK.
I did get several floors scrubbed yesterday and mowed, edged, and used the blower on the lawn yesterday, so I feel good about getting that accomplished.
Rob and friend are waiting in the car for me to head to the beach. More later.
Have a great day!

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

I recently began lurking on this board and have been so charmed by everyones friendliness and "real" experiences. I thought I would dive in and join the crowd.
My plans for this weekend include a wedding shower for a friend who eloped. Her first marriage at 42. (What was she thinking?) She is a dear friend and am happy to see in a new page of life.
We also had Ivan the Terrible pass through this week. I am in the northern part of Alabama so lots of water and wind.
Now for the major thing this weekend.
I am going to go to start Weight Watchers this morning. I have gained and lost the same 40 or 50 pounds so many times. It is very scary to think of trying again and being successful followed by failure at keeping it off. However I know as my mother would tell me "you've got to get back on that horse ,Girl". I have the challenges of 2 kids, hubby, full time job and the blessing of disorganization, so staying focused will be a monumentel task. Today I am 197 and totally out of shape. Day one.
I thank you for allowing me to share my plans. I will let you know how it goes.

We've got a beautifully clear day here today. The Cus is getting together with a friend to do guy things - a local tool vendor is having an open house so they're going to go drool over woodworking tools. I should be running - it's a pleasant 64-degrees - but we slept in. I gotta clean the bathrooms today, so you're welcome to live vicariously through me, Patty! Okay, you can come on down for grilled beer brats later on today ;^).

I used to live in Montgomery, AL until 13 years ago - they got slammed from Ivan. Whereabouts are you? I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Huntsville area.

This weekend I have got to: bathe the dogs, laundry, seriously clean house (Cussette, I can relate to the bathroom thing), shampoo the carpet, lawn work, do some grocery shopping, and cook a good home cooked meal. The weather is pretty nice and I would rather take the boat to the lake while we have the chance before winter sets in but duty calls.
We went on a mini-vacation to Colorado Springs during the Labor Day weekend and when we got back both myself & DH worked our regular 40 hr job plus work at our part time job 7 of the past 10 days. Thursday we caught up on our rest, last night we treated ourselves to burgers and sitting at home and watching the "Punisher" and the "Man on Fire" dvd's, both good action packed movies.
Well I'm going to have to hurry up and get busy if I want to get anything done today. We could use some of that rain you Easterners are getting. I sure hope no harm comes to any of you, I will say a prayer that God protects all of you and your families.
Smile and enjoy life, you only get one chance.

Well I have got to get off this computer and get busy with all the catch up house/lawn work around here. Hopefully I'll get some time to check out the board tonight.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
