Good afternoon, Patty and all! Just finally finished eating my first meal of the day. I taught this morning an hour class consisting of step, hi/lo aerobics and weights. Stopped for Italian bread "imported" from Brooklyn, and tben watched DD's wedding video. It's 2 years since she got married and we just got the pictures and video this week. DD didn't move too quickly on it. Anyway, exercise was really good and eating wasn't too far behind. A little slip up yesterday but I am back on track today.

Tomorrow the NY Philharmonic is playing in the state park (Hecksher Park). It is a free concert outdoors and very pleasurable. They ask for a donation of $10 a car and a can of food. Very doable! Looks like I will be taking advantage of it with DD and SinL and granddaughter. Grucci fireworks will be going off afterwards. Any other Long Islanders going to it? Supposed to be beautiful weather.

Did I see someone is having a wedding this weekend? Hope it is a wonderful day without a hitch, Deb/Mn. I am sure it will be.

Not much else doing...hope all is well with everyone...

Hugs
Grace

Keep on keeping on!

Just relax and enjoy the day. I had 4 weddings and that is the best advice anyone could give me. It goes by so quickly!

I got past the over endowed pear shape by wearing an empire waist dress. So comfy and no control top pantyhose. Actually no bra either since I had "cups" put in the dress.

Will be thinking of you and I am so glad the weather is going to be good for all of you.

Good for you for looking in the mirror and liking what you saw. I sure could use some of that attitude.

Keep up girlfriend...

Hi, all!


"Paraskevidekatriaphobics" — people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th.


Say that three times, fast.

Well here it is very late afternoon and here am I. I couldn't post for whatever gremlins were lurking this morning.

So very glad the 5 o'clock hour arrived. It was just one of those days at work where I just felt that I'm too old to be doing what I'm doing and I really would like to be something else when I grow up.

But the day is done and the weekend has officially arrived. DD and her BF took off this morning for a week in Jamaica. She hates flying and for the first time ever actually asked for a prescription from her doctor for something to take the edge off. She showed me the website from the resort where they will be staying and looks absolutely beautiful. I will stay I'm just a bit jealous. I offered to carry their bags although by the looks of DD's suitcase I don't think I would have the strength but my offer was rejected anyway!

I never did get a workout in this morning. The alarm went off, I shut it off and what I thought would be 5 more minutes was actually one hour later. I really am dragging myself around lately. I've been going to bed a bit earlier but it just doesn't seem to be doing much good. I actually tried to schedule my yearly appointment with the gyn but they are very precise that you not get an appointment any earlier than last years appointment and they can't book any appointments for September. So I'll have to wait and then probably need to wait some more for an after 5 appointment.

I came home for lunch today and found a big puddle from Mr. Otto. I knew something was up as there was no running to greet me with a toy in his mouth. I guess he was expecting to be scolded but I couldn't do that since this is very unlike him. I'll have to keep an eye on him and see if he seems to be sick although he seemed fine when I came in at 5. He is getting up there in age.

Presently waiting for DH to come home with something for dinner. I told him to surprise me. As long as I'm not cooking on Friday basically anything goes!

Hope everyone has had a fantastic Friday and is ready for the weekend!
