GLADYS-A very Happy Birthday to YOU! Hope you enjoy every minute of this day, and all the days to follow.   

    It's Monday again, and my weight is the same. That's a good thing, maybe by next Monday it will be a little lower. It seems that about 1/2 pound a week is the very best that happens. I'll take it!  

    Regarding daughter's move-we told them yesterday of our decision, and I do not at this time know what will happen with their dog. There aren't foster dog parents for healthy people, only those who are temporarily unable due to hospitalization, etc. Even at that, they want a fee if possible. Florida has laws against leaving dogs in cars, and hardly any parks or beaches will allow them. It would happen that we would be entertaining the dog here while they went off to do things. Just can't happen.   

   DH goes for the first of two procedures this afternoon, second one to follow on Wednesday. We did go out to the Golden Corral for dinner yesterday. I really did very well, but had a brownine for dessert. That was planned, so no guilt. I find that sweet things really are almost obnoxiously sweet-that's a bonus!   

    Plan to have a new permanent tomorrow-that should improve the daily look. I investigated having laser hair removal for upper lip and chin-guess what? It won't work on me because I am too blonde-must have color for the laser to work. I suggested dying my hairs black, but they said it still wouldn't work-after they stopped laughing.   Laineybea   189/174/155 

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gladys, Happy Birthday to you!!!May this year be full of joy and happiness. 

Laineybea, thanks for the info on laser treatment for facial hair...I used to get my face waxed..always had a rash for a couple of days..and yes it ouched..Now I know laser therapy wouldn't do it..have a few dark hairs that come up..but most blonde..Oh well..All best wishes for your dh as he goes through his tests.. 

Ruth T..your "backyard" is gorgeous..how green everything is..how awesome.. 

I'm feeling defensive today..neck and shoulders want to hunch and stiffen..I don't know why unless it is having strangers in the house next door..pleasant enough..and a friend of the renters son parked in front of my house..from some other street..we do try to keep this street for those who live here..also my garbage can lid removed and placed on top of their bushes..they didn't know where it came from..none of that seems worthy of defensive physical response..I really have to get down to Conn. to my dentist sometime in the next month...Daughter called last night..finally working on the bankruptcy stuff..doesn't feel well..that's been the consistent message since she's been pregnant..they are looking for a larger space..we discussed merits and needs..I know there are two things that are legal that I'll have to get on top of in Sept..and I think I'm thinking ahead..make that 3..something popped into my mailbox last week..some person used my identity for a while years ago..now one of the items has popped up again..so I'll have to make another police report..urgh.. 

I wrote another message..hit post..and it was gone..Mon. morning weight..151.5...measurements..37/32/37...all good news..down one pound..167/151.5/135...new goal according to osteoporosis suggestion of lose 10 percent of body weight for benefit of bones.. 

Putting up my check out sheet on refrigerator works..now will add a weekly exercise chart to it..Today I start the 1-3 week osteoporosis exercise program..It is in total a 12 week program..that is to get to a 12 weeks max..then one continues..after 6 to 9 mos..results should be marked..The sheets of recording for weight and exercise go into individual folders..after 6 mos. they are to be reviewed for progress..and again at 9 mos.. 

When I went to bed last night on C to C hurricane specialist was concerned for New Orleans, and Mississippi..that is Carolyn, Sherry right?, Joan and Elsie..I haven't turned the news on yet this am, will when I get off of here..our prayers are with all of you in that hurricane zone..stay safe and healthy..hugs everyone, w/love, diane 

Only lost half a pound. Sure know the reason for it.  Today is a day to stay home and take care of all the little things that are bothering me about the house.    

GLADYS -- A very happy birthday.  It is a good day to remember all the good times we have enjoyed through the years and all the things we have learned from the bad times.  A rite of passage should be fully acknowledged -- that is why I suggest that it last longer than one day.  

I am feeling pretty down today although I have no problems worth any real attention.  That is why I have made a long list and am going to settle down and plow through them.  I need to walk through my house and smile at all the sparkling areas!  

Take care everyone.  Pray for the people being battered by Katrina.  Ks. Grandma/Eilene

Girls, 

Can you believe it is the last Monday in August already?  Goodness, how time flies! 

I weighed before I took Little Fluff for "our" walk this morning and I was UP 0.5 lbs.  (215.5 this week)  I knew my food choices had not been good. 

It's going to be a gorgeous week here this week . . . I went out and started working in the boathouse and got a good start when the pressure washer I was using literally fell apart.  The screws sheared and the whole bottom fell off the thing.  SO - everything is out in the yard, the floor is wet, I'm too emotionally drained to put everything back and have to take it out again later so I came to post.  This will put me behind, but I'll go work in my bedroom instead.  Always something to do. 

I can finally get 1/2 of my car in the garage.  Problem is, I don't know which half to put in!  :-) 

GLADYS~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

I am so concerned for those folks in the path of the hurricane.  Mother and I have been trying to keep up with what is happening.   

Take care now, 

THE FLUFFS 

I can not believe August is almost gone, the summer has gone by very fast.  Cold weather will soon be here and I am about ready, its been so dry here, just can not afford to water as I would like, but looking at other yards in this little town I can see I am not the only one.  

I want to wish Gladys a Very Happy Birthday, may you have many more.  

When I weighed this morning I found I had gained a pound, and I know why--Stress-Stress-Stress!!  

I just have not shared a couple of things that have been going on with me, but that was a mistake, I should have known better, sharing has always helped before as it will now.  

First I found out about 2 months ago that my 29 year old daughter had a pap smear come back bad, the biopsy came back that it was cancer.  She had surgery 2 weeks ago yesterday, the Dr. felt confident that he got it all, she will get the results of the biopsy he took after surgery tomorrow.  She has to have a pap smear every 3 months for some time.  I just turned it over to God and have so much to be thankful for.  She is feeling so much better and gone back to work.  I know she will be alright, just have to leave it in God's hands.  

My second problem is my friend from high school days.  I have really enjoyed him, enjoy our long talks, he has helped me get past a lot, but to put it in plain words, he is smothering me.  There are times I feel I can not breathe.  I would like to stay his friend,  I have been alone and so independent for so many years, just don't think we can ever be more than friends and I am not sure he will be willing to accept that.  I have pretty much made up my mind so guess whatever happens there happens.  I just can not accept someone telling me how, when and where--guess that says it all.  I will be alright, just do what I need to do and go on.  

My house will be very nice when all is done, just takes time when we have to do it a little at a time.  Thats what happens when everyone is so busy.  As long as it is done before the snow flies that is fine with me.  

Have been working in my yard, getting some flower beds cleaned out a little, getting ready to get my fish pond ready for winter.  

Everyone have a great week, and take care of you.  LOL  Marlene  

"I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!"  The log-in page would not accept my password this morning.  After six tries I gave up.  At noon, I could log-in but when I started a message it suddenly disappeared and I was back at my home-screen.  THREE times.   Hope this works now.  

Discovered a way to correct a spelling error in the message title....Hit the "back" button, then come back to post a message and there's a fresh start!  

Praying for the poor people in the path of Katrina...we got a few short heavy rainfalls from feeder bands moving north but nothing like New Orleans and Biloxi are contending with.  

Okay.....statistics (I do hope everyone hangs in here~the thought of reporting in every Monday keeps me very aware of what I am eating and how I am exercising)   Down 1/2 pound this week,   180/162/130    Dolly
