Yeah, this is fun. I feel like Im learning all about you all! I had a quiet morning...just me and a cup of decaf coffee! AHHH. I had to take my son to school all week because bus service did not start until today. (He doesn't have a car yet). Another big SIGH, bus service started today. Wohoo! I am a free woman for awhile! So just me and my cuppa this am. Went to the gym and worked out. Nothing special planned for the weekend. My son works tonight, so I will have a nice quiet evening to myself. I think I hear Calgon calling my name! Tomorrow will be a gym day for me also. Sunday I want to get to church, so will skip the gym. Its supposed to be really nice here. Im thinking a picnic at the park might be nice after church. Or maybe a trip to the zoo. We havent been all summer. So happy weekend all! Cheerio! Lauri

TGIF!! Dale ended up on call last night so he didn't go WAAAAAAAAA but I did get a nice long hot shower with out interruption so I guess all was good LOLOL. Just got home from working out at the gym and walking 2 miles with Joshua. I am looking forward to the weekend lol. My body is tired. I will still walk Saturday and Sunday but no weights so that will be nice. Not much going on this weekend with Dale being on call. Supposed to be hot again for a couple days so I guess it will be a good time to clean house. Maybe I will run over to the party supplies store. Joshua's birthday is coming up fast and I need to get balloon runners and stuff. Every year we blow up 100's of balloons and float them all over the house. Its the "big thing" he looks forward to every year. Ask him what he wants for his birthday and he says "THE BALLOOOOOONS". lol Anyone else get Fall Cleaning bug instead of Spring Cleaning bug? The cool weather makes me just want to open everything up, dust it out and clean. Well except for the dishes that STILL haven't gotten done *sigh*. Hey I am not out of forks yet so all is good! I have 1 week as of today to see the teens. Yes I know its silly but next Friday is my big "coming out" day and I just want to be able to say that I am in the 2-teens instead of the 220's lol. That and I am really sick of seeing 22something on the scale. Its been a month in the 220's and its irritating me. Got to work harder at getting the protein in I guess. With all the working out I think I stalled myself out a bit. Welp I better get to getting. Thanks for doing this Dawn!! Its great fun to read what everyone is up to!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Today I have to try and get my butt moving! This bedrest idea is just not working! Unless my doctor wants to take my son shopping I'll have to move today. *LOL* I have to get school shopping done. My DH was SUPPOSED to take my son every night this week and it still isn't done yet! He "says" he'll take him tomorrow but I know it's not going to get done until I do it! He starts school on Mon. so at this point I guess there's no putting it off any longer. As for the rest of the weekend, I would really like to jar cherry peppers. However, the only way that is going to get done is if someone offers to help me because that is a long time on my feet. I wish you all a fun packed weekend! Allison

(....And still find myself saying "that will never fit") OMG I so relate! Last week I was folding a load of laundry. My husband had started it and switched it to the dryer while I was at a meeting. I was folding. I came to a t-shirt that looked positively TINY....I let loose on him for putting it in the dryer and shrinking it. Well, not let loose, I just "apologized" for not telling him that the shirt was all cotton and shouldn't go in the dryer. Then I was very upset because I wouldn't be able to wear it. He quietly smiled and said "put it on..RIGHT NOW." I resisted..and actually got angry at him for minimizing my anquish over the shrinking of one of my favorite shirts. He kept pushing and PUSHING until I finally stripped off the shirt I had on and put the "shrunk" shirt on. It fit perfectly, it in fact, hadn't shrunk at all, it was just my perception of myself that was "too large" to fit that tiny shirt. ps..I'm wearing the shirt today.

Gotcha added to the October Exchange! Thanks for the reply!! *huggles* Felicia =0)
