Good Saturday morning California

Well..I haven't slept yet..so I'll jump start the morning.  I wish everybody a beautiful Saturday, I myself will be in a bit of a meloncholy mood today.  Over in Rochester, NY, my lovely mother is being laid to rest today, so I am having a bit of a hard time settleing down, maybe a bit later I'll find some rest.  Everybody have a Blessed Day and begin the day's postings with happy thoughts and wishes for all of our friends and loved ones...love to all

Good Morning Kim and all the rest of you wonderful Supportive peeps....

Well today is the day before my last run. Kind of sad. My friend Cindy will be here about 8:30 and we will head out about 9 frist stop is going to be drop off Fresser at some friends house, she is going to spend the weekend with them and play with thier fur babies. Then we are going to stop Kevin's office because he map quested the drive for us. The we head out and should be at the expo about 10:30. We plan on messing around for while before to the hotel. The hotel we are staying at as a free shutle ride to and from the start/finish line. So that is pretty cool, and we get a brown bag breakfast to go. Come on now, at that just way too cool? They are trying hard to make things easy for the runners and they give us a late check out (3) So after the race we can relax and shower and all that without having to rush. So I think we will miss alot of the traffice if we head out later. Or at least that is my hopes.

This is Cindy's frist 1/2 marathon and I am hoping that every thing goes great and we don't have to many screw ups. LOL.

Hey, other then Liz, who else is going to be there? Running/walking or riding? I know that Liz is meeting up with her biking buddies for dinner. How about the rest of you/us??

OK time of coffee. I love that stuff. :-D

LL

I will be there.

Morning Kim and Cali . . . and big hugs to you Kim - I'm so sorry for your loss, but know that your mom is in a better place now and at peace - and she's smiling down at you!

I'm spending the weekend getting ready to leave for Hawaii on Wednesday - and dang if I don't think I'm catching a cold . . . OH NO!!!!  Maybe it's just the wierd weather changes here from hot to cold - and supposed to be hot again soon.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Chris

Can I sneak away in your suitcase....I do not mind your cold since I have had one that doesn't want to leave...hehehehehehehhehe!

Hey Kim....I was poking around here and glad to see that you made the morning post! I am really sorry that you are feeling the way you do this morning....I know it is hard. I keep thinking what it would have been like having a mom at the age I am now. My mom was young when she died...hell I was....and here I am 34 years later....wondering what it would be like. Crazy eh? Try and find something...okay sleep first....but fun to do today.....like go SHOPPING...that is a cure all for a lot of things!!! hehehehehehe

Speaking of which...shopping sucks...shopping sucks hugely when you want to find something to wear out and cannot find a darn thing after walking the mall. Sometimes I swear ( oh and you know I do LOL), but as I was telling my dil last night on the phone...I lose all this weight and I still have problems finding clothes to wear.

So last night I packed it after working on the mural for 3 hours after teaching all day and go to the mall. I wanted something cute to wear out tonight for bike weekend...you know something trendy slightly trashy....couldn't find a thing that would fit....you know designers leave boobage out of their styles. I mean they have clothes on the top their that look like eye patches for your boobs to fit in. I could not even find a simple black scoop neck top....and the styles...OMG barf me out with all the long puffy styles. Even my thin, tall dil hates the styles this season!! I did wind up with a wicked Ed Hardy sweater shirt that hugs the body nicely and a super cool necklace that is like wowzer for sure! So not a total bomb...but not happy either with not finding what I wanted!

We did go down to bike weekend activities late last night and got a bite to eat...they had a live band right out there in the heart of Palm Canyon...and truly a motely crew of weirdo's. Okay I enjoy the people watching for sure!

Today for me brings a long day of work...it is okay.....I am getting close to getting done...I am really excited about it....I have already worked 3 days this week on the mural. The thing that is really slowing me down is all the cutting in work around the ocitillo and other items I have place...some of the pieces are so small I could use a tweezer to place them!!! I will get pictures today as I have not taken any pictures for a couple of weeks now!

Tomorrow I have a fun filled exciting day of going to the pumpkin patch in Yucippa with Ava and her parents...and then my little Ava Bear is going to get her ears pierced. YAY....finally she is going to be able to wear the diamond studs I bought her last Christmas.....for this Christmas!!!!

Well all of you have a great day and weekend.....LuLu....and all the runners....have a great run....I am proud of all of you!!!! And you Kim.....I will be thinking about you!!!

  

 

Thank you Chris and Janine.  I am going to do someting today..I plan on going into the room that was my mother's and clearing it out and returning it to the "guest room" status.  I intend on sleeping in there for a week or so after my WLS in 9 or so days.  I am not a sound sleeper and I imagine I will be quite restless...don't want to wake my hubby during his last 2 weeks of work.  he reitires from his Homeland Security position on Oct. 31...exactly 1 yr. to the day of my WLS class graduation.

Mornin'  Just a quick drive by lol.  Im half asleep and am trying to be quiet to not wake up anyone.  Dont know whats in store for today but we shall see.  Maybe some rest and relaxation.  And my son was begging to go to olive garden last night so maybe ill take him there.  Hugs, Jess

Kim,
I am so sorry that you are having such a melancholy day.  I truly understand your feelings.  You know we always need our Mom's even if it to just pick up the phone.  Yesterday I got a phone call from my son to tell me that he had someone else call him for a full time job and he has a second interview for another one.  Now I was out visiting my dad and his girlfriend. You know I was at their house and wanted to pick up the phone to call her. So you know it is okay to have the feeling you do.  Do somethng special for you in your Moms memory.
So, today for me my hubby and I will be heading out to Long Beach today with our bikes for the Long Beach Bike tour. It is one of the events associiated with the Marathon.
HAve a wonderful day today.  You are in my heart.
Liz

Thank you Liz....I will definatly find something special
