Paula is off to Fargo for the wedding weekend this morning! So exciting. I hope the sun is shining even though it is supposed to be cooler.
The Flower Moon Dinner was great last night. The Beach Club is really a beautiful place to eat at and the food was amazing. Nice company at our table as well. These summer events are nice because it is a much smaller crowd in attendance. Though we don't know some of the people because they are summer members. The club has very well priced summer memberships to bring in extra money and hopefully to get some of those members to convert to regular memberships. They have to be diligent about monitoring the program though because they have caught some of them sharing a single membership among multiple families (by bringing them as guests). A single family can only have a summer membership once so these groups were rotating the membership between families to get multiple years out of it. Amazing what some people will do especially since most of these folks actually have the means to have a regular membership. But I think they often have memberships at other clubs too so ours is an add-on.
Today is DH's weigh-in day. Should be interesting. Last night he tried to wear one of his usual size XL shirts and they were way too big. He had to wear a large from many years ago.
I am playing golf today in the summer league. I haven't played since DSD was here but I played my best game ever that day. We shall see how this goes. First there is a Justice walk.
Have a winning Wednesday!

Does the spray tan rub off on the clothes you wear before rinsing it off?

Fingers crossed that you get the scaled down party after all.
I was chuckling to myself at the landline because we ended up doing the same at my Cape house but the telephone number was different so we never gave it anyone and didn't use it. Eventually I just unplugged it.

You deserved a nap after defeating the Shark!

I think the batteries wear out a lot faster on the newer scales. I hardly ever had to replace the batteries on the older ones.

125 even today, up but at the low end of my range so all is good.
The spray tan process was easy. Too early to tell the results. Have a first rinse off at 10 pm tonight and then I guess the color is fully developed within 24 hours of being sprayed. Right now it looks super dark which she warned me it would until I do the first rinse.
Otherwise, nothing much done today except lunch out with DH (Mexican for taco Tuesday). Need to finish packing snacks, dog supplies and beverages for the trip!
The bus to Fargo leaves at 9:00 am!

So many fun events at your club! The full moon was so beautiful here, it does indeed deserve a dance to celebrate it.
Liz, thanks for sharing the memory of a very happy day. Made me smile.
Paula, you'll have to tell us about the spray tan experience. I imagine being handsprayed is even better than a booth.
Also smiling about the shark being taken down. It is a victory for the whole tribe.
Peps, I feel your pain as you wonder why Ron makes the choices he does, but then I remember that sometimes when I'm sick, its hard to follow through. Both DH and I have been both sides of the coin: the one trying to get the sick one to go get treatment and the one who is sick and doesn't have the wherewithal to initiate it. I hope be gets antibiotics soon.
Well the retirement party drama goes on. Today an invite went out to the whole staff for a party for a different retiree on the same day my friends planned mine. My friends showed me the invite for mine a few days ago, but didn't send it to anyone yet. Now the whole thing feels awkward. We're a big staff, but not that big, to have dueling parties. So I asked as nicely as I could if they could just scale it back to department only. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings while they're trying to do something nice for me. So department only is what I think is happening. We'll see.
We still had our landline, but I asked DH to cancel it. Here is what happened instead. Our cable /WiFi company said if we bundled our landline our current bill would drop $30 a month. Okay, that's nice. Cancelled the landline with our previous provider and saved $35. So we're saving $65 dollars a month and still have the landline. This is some weird math. But hey, we'll still get our daily message letting us know that the loan center (right, there is just THE loan center issuing money, you know the one) has approved us for a home equity loan of $80,000 so we can consolidate our debt. Sometimes the offer is $75,000 and I feel personally insulted that Mary thinks we're worth less than Jeff.
We're looking at a different garbage service too. Waste Management, our current service has a cute way of discouraging cancellations. They charge $75.00 to come and pick up their own bins when you cancel. There's no charge if you deliver them yourself. This annoys me so much that even if we can't find a cheaper service, I still want to cancel with them. News flash, the bins will fit in our Explorer, and I'll have time to deliver them.
The beautiful weather continues one more day. It has been lovely.
