Let me start off by saying this was a busy board these last two days and although I just sat and read everyone's posts there is no way I am ever going to remember everything but what I do recall............Susan sorry for the sunshine trouble. Sorry to read about your bad cholesterol reading, I have been lucky so far. Edible Images just yum! Patty I do not think you not working in the winter for the GH made a difference with your weight so do not sweat your decision. Hope you had a good family BBQ and mom kept her clothes on. Margie rain is good but too much gets depressing. Don't ya wish it could be spread out? Congrats on the missing pounds, you are doing just awesome! I can not seem to make a dent in anything I eat/don't eat or exercise. When do you start vacation? Donna ouch on the stitches coming out. It is amazing how much money we spend at a Costco or BJ's. Sounds like your nieces bday party was a fun one. Deb sorry about your dd trouble. I can sympathize all too well. My boys have had their share of trouble......trust me! Good luck, and I hope everything works out.
Well the reason for me missing in action was as my boys say............horses, horses, horses, lol. Katie and I were out bright and early yesterday morning so she could give Daniel a good ride. We had a problem yesterday while out there that was upsetting. While Katie was riding one of the other boarders was riding her horse. When Katie has a companion out there I take my time cleaning up the barn area well about 20 minutes into the ride we hear screaming. Kim the owner of the property and I go running back, Not sure what is going on we see my Katie running with Daniel behind her screaming the Rabbit (the horse) tripped and fell down and was not moving. I let Kim go since she knows what she is doing and I went up to her house to watch her two little girls (age 2 and 5 weeks). Rabbit tripped, fell on his shoulder but rolled the opposite way so he would not roll onto Kaitlyn his owner then he had a seizer of sorts. It took 3 people to get him back up........it was a scary thing. By the time we got home I gave Bill a hand around the house, weeding, planting and watering the flowers. Katie was at her regular barn now bathing Fred the horse she was using at the show today. Katie had to bathe Fred and clean his tack then Bill and I picked her up around 5:30. By the time we got home we did some take out Mexican food, grabbed hot showers and collapsed.
Today Bill and Rob went racing in NJ (They are on their way home now but Rob made it to the finals in his class and into the semi finals for his quick 16 class, which put him up in the standings). Billy slept in since he seems to have developed a summer cold and sore throat. Katie and I headed out to Daniel around 8:00 so we could bathe him. Daniel took a ride today out to the show and watched Katie and let her ride him a little to get that show feeling again. He was very "up" as horses go and Katie said it was because he felt like a horse again, lol. It has been 5 years since Daniel has been to a show. Although Katie did not compete with him she did enjoy having him there, especially to show him off to some of her barn friends who have only seen pictures. Katie's best friend Megan got thrown today and did compete but
A very pleasant and rather lazy day around here. Went out early for my grocery shopping and then went and my nails done. Came home to have lunch and then just lazed around for the remainder of the day. I sat in my chair in the yard for a bit and then DD arrived home. I did a quick trip with her over to her BF's apartment since she needed to pick something up from there. It's the first time I've been there since he's actually moved in. Cute place but for the life of me I don't see both of them living there. It's just not that big-especially with the wardrobe she has!
DH and I sat outside for awhile but it was very warm. He ended up taking a nap and I switched on the ac to cool things off a bit. I made some teriyaki beef strips on the bbq with fresh mozzerella, tomato and basil, oven roasted garlic potatoes and fresh string beans with mustard vinegrette. We all enjoyed a slice of the black and white cookie cake and more the edible fruit bouqet. DH seemed to enjoy his day and was very happy that DS called him. DS sounded very tired last night as well as he should have been after that amount of time in the car but refreshed this morning as they were headed for some jet skiing and then gocarting tonight. When he called this morning it was already 95. He had also got his call from our other DD so although only one was home he was happy that he had a chance to speak to both. DH also enjoyed all his scratch off lotto tickets-he won a few bucks but we're both still going to work tomorrow-no big winners!
Pursuit of Happiness was on Pay perview so I tivo'd it in case of falling asleep in the chair syndrome kicked in but I did manage to stay awake and I enjoyed it. The hour is getting late and 4:45 will be here very soon!
Donna-great news on the lbs lost! Sounds like a fun birthday for your niece!
Patty-hope you all enjoyed your bbq. Did Mom stay dressed?
CL-Deb-busy weekend for you! Congratulations to Katie and Rob!
Deb/MN-really sorry that about the mess your DD is in. We've been through a huge mess with DS so I can relate to what you must be going through. I guess she's learning the hard way on who you can consider to be a friend.
Nancy-hope you had a good ride today.
Margie-congratulations on more pounds gone! You really are an inspiration! Hope you and DH had a great time at the concert.
Erin-how did that cleaning out go?
Well I really do need to head off to bed! Hope everyone has had a great day and enjoys a good night's rest!
friday night met dh at the 'clubhouse" bar and he had Hot buffalo wings waiting for me..I wasnt really hungry But i ate them anyway and I hadnt told him yet that I switched diets But what the heck its friday night and Im in diet limbo anyway. We went home and Played Bowling on the Nintendo wii
saturday morning made some breakfast. I started it out with oatmeal and fruit. Dh and dd wanted eggs toast and sausage. We went grocery shopping bout 830 am came home with a fresh stocking up of veggies, fruit, dairy and protein products. We started filling up the drop box after dropping dd off at work. We worked 2 hours straight going up and down that hill carrying some very heavy stuff. The heaviest thing was the BIG GIANT Pole that use to hold our old fashioned satellite dish on the roof. I think thats where i pulled the muscle in my neck and is the cause of this 3 day headache:/. Dh was panting heavily and was asking why i wasnt and I said thank goodness I work out 5 days a week. I didnt realize how much Junk we had till i started hitting up every room, every closet of the house.
Eventually we went down to Pick up dd from work...went back to buffalo Exchange and return My cute leopard Print sandals..they were 2 different sizes!! I tried on one of them In the store..LOL apparantly shudda tried on two..also Had to return a shirt too tight in the arms..It was made for a girl with no muscles apparantly LOL..DH was dying for a beer..we hit up saturday market downtown...and went to Home depot for a wheelbarrow and dh started throwing cement in the dumpster. he lasted one trip for that and was gonna take a break.
He didnt realize he threw his back out till the next day he laid in bed about 6 hours on sunday while Me and dd continued to throw more stuff in dumpster.... i wont even attempt that cement with my bad Knee. so about 12PM I said I was going to go by a new futon for the basement(because puppy chewed up couch and loveseat) and dh decided to go with me and it took us 5 minutes to pick out the new futon. I had planned on spending 3, 4 or 500.00 and the one I like was 600.00..hand crafted beautiful wood guranteed for life:)
then I took dh out for lunch for fathers day Minus dd who we had dropped off at the mall. her ex BF is back in town and they are spending alot of time together
so i decided to come here first and finish off the weekend Because I wasnt sure if i had anything positive to say for a Monday..But im sure after reading your posts Ill get motivated!
After a very hectic week, I've been on the go most of the weekend.
