I think that's the biggest truck I've seen!

Awww, I love the dog and cat picture! I'm so glad you posted pictures of the trucks. I was trying to explain to Tim about what your DH does and his patents and stuff. I forget the details (can't even remember half of Tim's co. stuff!). What kind of gas mileage do those things get?? A fraction of a mile to the gallon? How many gallons do the tanks hold? I'd sure hate to have to fill those up. I will feel better now when I have to fill up the Explorer. ;-)

Hi All,
I've run out of time but I'd like to at least add my Monday to the list (I have been a "24" fan since it started and it's just about on). Whoops, I was enjoying reading all the posts so much that I ran out of time. I hope you all don't mind if I join in. I had to work on this during commercials... For the first day of the work week this Monday wasn't too bad :-). I woke up and wasn't as tired as I was on the weekend (trying to get rid of a killer cold). My Puff's kleenex use also dropped, finally. If I hadn't gone over to the gym at lunch time I probably would have made it through the day without getting tired, but it was a tired from using gym equipment instead of not feeling well. Didn't think I would be so out of shape not using it for a couple weeks. I was still doing stuff at home - walking the dog, using walking tapes and doing weight exercises. I was already sweaty before I went on the elliptical machine and I consider myself lucky I made it 5 minutes on that. Hectic at work - something coming up all the time and ended up with a bunch of stuff left to check on tomorrow morning. It was rainy this morning but turned into a nice afternoon/evening. Took the dog out for a walk again with hubby and put the cats in a cage outside for a while.
I'm trying to work on losing more weight - I took a break this weekend but now want to start working on dropping some pounds. Have the exercise going but need to cut out and/or cut down on foods. I guess I averaged a pound a week but would like to make sure I keep it up and maybe do a little bit better.
I probably won't be able to write every day but will try and read a little so I know who's who and what's happening.
Oh, I got a couple of plants yesterday that are blooming so I'm enjoying those! Can't put any in the ground until around the end of May or they might die from a frost.
Looking forward to summer!! Hope everyone has a nice evening and a great Tuesday!

Thanks, Deb. I'm sorry you're going to miss the Zumba thing too. I think you said it was Zumbalee. Sounds as though you'll have a great time anyway.


The smoke does bother my throat and eyes. The ER's here are having more people with respiratory problems going there. Can't imagine what it must be like where the fires actually are!


I think I gave Tim a bit of a shock this weekend, and it "jump-started" him to start cleaning on his own. Sometimes our DH's can use a little shaking up...


Is your mom having eye surgery tomorrow or next week? Best of luck to her.

I went back to a bright coral this time. I think it was Cajun Shrimp. Didn't have my reading glasses on, but it looked like it. It's very similar to the Sicillian Vermillian I used for so long. I wanted something bright against the Mystic Tan -- which was a disappointment. The color in the

I can just imagine how busy your ER is with those poor people.

I like your colors as well as the one Donna put up....I wonder if I could wear coral?

I missed that you got your Mystic Tan.

I got it yesterday during my hodge-podge "spa" day. I'm disappointed in it. Have a number of streaks and white spots and orange palms. I did a buy one get one free, so I'll try it once more, but I'm glad I didn't sign up for a pkg. deal. It's nice that it's so fast and fairly neat, but breathing the mist even with nostril filters was uncomfortable for me. Still, I would have thought it was worth it if the results had been more even. I put some L'Oreal Sublime Glow Tanning Moisturizer over it tonight hoping to even it out, but I can still see streaks. Tried a towelette made to remove hair color from sking to get the orange off my palms. It helped a little, but didn't get it all off.

Dad and one of his brothers already had their eyes done, but Mom needs to have hers done soon. I will probably take her.


We just switched to State Farm, because our Geico rates tripled!! It was unbelievable! I'm not sure if they go up when you're older, but Tim would probably know. I'll try to remember to ask him tomorrow.


We're getting bombarded with smoke from the north and the south, but at least the wind has changed so it should be clear tomorrow. Sure feel for the folks who've lost their homes or whose homes are still threatened. I also worry about the animals in the forrests.
