MY friend Cyndi told me about this Mud Run coming up. Its 5k with 11 obstacle that is right here in Riverside County. There is no time limit and I think it would be way to much fun. But when I started read it to her, she whimp out already. Dang her!  http://www.gladiatormudrun.com/Home.php
Here is a link to the home page if you want to check out. IF you think it would be fun, maybe we can do it together. Be sure to read the page for FAQ. OMG!! That was so funny. I laughed so hard.

Barb............Good Morning! How was work? and did you enjoy yourself in the garden? I love just messing around in the garden, so relaxing.

Kim...........I don't know what kind, I get what they say will work best for me. Sometimes it can take over an hour to find the one that works best for me. Should have just put a saddle on that bug and saved on gas for the week.

Elizabeth.........I can't for the pictures of Gracie, what a cute name. How cute that Devan is so grown up that she now needs a bed. OMG next week she is going to be going to school. LOL

Steph.............YOU went away with out me? OMG, the pain of knowing that. But it sure sounded like you fun. Two weeks Girl, TWO WEEKS!! I wish time would go so much faster, just not over this weekend. I have plans and would like to enjoy them. LOL

Dizzy........the headache must being going around, I was hurtin for sure with my headache. Oh hey, CONGRATS on moving on to the next eating stage. did you doc tell ya how much you lost? Just being noisey. LOL I took the fur babies for a walk last night, I am going to try to get my big baby to walk 5k so was can do the Wag and Walk coming up.

OK my good people..... time to get moving here and start my day. Of course before I can even thing about that, I have to get some COFFEE. LOL

Good Morning Lu and Cali Friends,

Happy Friday indeed.  So glad you're looking forward to the weekend, me too.

Work is wonderful, each day brings a feeling of more accomplishment.  There is so much to learn but I feel valued and I feel like I am contributing in a positive way.  I have to be patient because I want to know it all now and that just isn't humanly possible!!! 

This weekend will be sort of busy.... my friend (who just lost her Dad) and her husband will be coming for dinner and dominoes.  I am so glad they are going to get out and live life, they've been caring for her Dad for 2 months solid and we haven't been able to socialize so we're looking forward to that.

More working in the garden too.  I am hoping I get my car back today and that the big red one is all better now.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hugs,
Barb

Good morning Lu and all of Cali....

OK, so it's 6;30am...I don't have to be up but I am because my dang back is hurting so bad.  I really thought I had this under control and then the other hip started bothering me a couple of weeks ago and is getting worse.  Not quite sure how that is happening pain wise as I'm taking meds for the original pain on the right side.  I'm just so frustrated over this.  I would really like to stop hurting once and for all.  Hopefully I'll sit up for a while and then go back to bed for a little nap.  I only have 3 more days of retirement before it's back to the 9 to 5...well 8 to 4:30 and I'm hoping to change that to 7:30 to 4:00. 

Not much planned for today.  I do need a haircut and think I will go over to my friend Valerie's and see how she does chopping away.  I've never had her cut my hair, but being as it's really just a trim and nothing major I think it will be ok to let her do it.  The price is sure right. Nothing, zero, zilch, nada.  Yup, that's a good price.  Of course I might just go down the street and have it done there if I don't feel like driving to Valerie's.  I don't know.  Too early in the morning to think about it.

Tomorrow is coffee....hip hip hooray.  Can't wait to see everyone and spend time "gabbing". It's turned into such a nice group but there is always room for newcomers to join us.  So if you are thinking about coming, please do.  It's nice to know who is going to be there, but we don't absolutely have to know for coffee.  We aren't making reservations so it doesn't matter.  Whoever shows up is good.

OK, think I"ll go make some coffee.  Maybe that will make me feel better.  Oh heck I just don't know anymore.  And YES Lu 2 more weeks and we are off to some fun in the sun.  OK, well maybe not that much sun.  I did get my fair share the last two days.  Of course Mike looks like a lobster.  He has such fair skin.  I burn a bit, but not like him.  I keep telling him it's his blond hair and blue eyes.  The sun fell in love with him because of that just like me.  LOL  He doesn't buy that load of BS but I have fun teasing him.

Hope everyone has a great day.  Be sure to stay hydrated if you are going to be out and remember for every drink you have that has caffeine in it, you need two glasses of a non-caff beverage to make up for it.  So pass on that iced tea and coffee and have water with crystal light. Have a terrific day.

Good Morning Lusty Lu and Cali Board,

Not much going on today. I will probably watch the grand kids while Chris goes to the gym. I got my hair cut yesterday. It feels good because my hair was getting unruly. Devan is growing up so fast. The problem with that is as the grand kids get older so do I! LOL 

Steph, the sun loves me too. LOL I burn so easy. Let me change that to blister so easy. I don't tan though. I just peel and am whiter than before! I actually glow in the dark I am so white! LOL

Barb, I am glad you get to have time your friends. I know it means a lot to them after what they have been through. Have fun.

Well I hope everyone has a great day!

Morning Cali and Lu,

Well this weekend is jam packed.  Today our son comes home, oh, I'm sorry Ms V's brother!!  She is so funny!!  We are taking some family portrait for DH's parent's 50Th anniversary (all siblings, spouses  and kid) hope it does not turn into a fiasco!!  So I am sure we will be in the city on Saturday and not sure about Sunday.

Well better get to work.  Have a great day!

Hey Cali,

Lu- thanks for the shout out.  LOL @ saddle on the bug and me riding it to work.  Talk about going "green"!  Enjoy your long run this weekend.

I went to the laundrymat last night (I missed Stitch n' *****) and did 3 loads.  I put away the majority of the stuff this morning.  I have to hurry up and do that or else I will be living out of my laundry bag.  I am supposed to go to L.A. Live for drinks but looking at my budget,  I doubt it.  I am going to do some cleaning done and maybe spend some time with family.  Pretty much a low key weekend.

Have a great weekend.  Happy Friday.

Hi OHers,

Barb - I also love playing in the garden. The only time I've had to play though is to keep my plants alive by watering them. At least my lillies have bloomed

Steph - Take care of your back! Back problems are a total suck-fest. I hope you get some relief

Elizabeth - Have fun with the grandkids. Like I said, I didn't want to be a parent, but being a grandparent looks like fun.

Kim - LA Live is a trip! I was down there a few months ago for a convention in a hotel next to LA Live. I say go buy one drink and enjoy the people watching and the scene there. The Grammy Museum is awesome too.

I have no plans this weekend except the long task of continuing to go throw my mom's house. It's taking a long time to go through 64 years worth of letters, photos and so on. Every time I am up there I end up crying thinking of my mom actually passing away or reading letters from my grandmother and all the other people who have passed away that were so important to me while I was growing up.

I am hoping a massage is in my future this weekend too.

Take Care all. Remember your water and vitamins.

Good Morning Y'all

I started a post eariler this morning but had to scrap it. I had someone come and fix a few things in my house and put up a ceiling fan for me. I also had a new couch and chairs for the dinningroom delievered this morning. I have been trying to rearrange the livingroom to get it all to work together. It is amazing how much bigger the couch looks now that it is in my space. It didn't look this big on the showroom floor, but it still looks good and is so comfortable. I now just need to get rid of my futon. I was going to put it in the office, but it doesn't really fit down my hall and it won't fit through the door. So it is going to the salivation army, but they won't come and get it for a few weeks. So for right now, I am going to be tripping over things in the livingroom. Oh well. I really should get off my ass and go and fold the laundry and start cleaning the house. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Relaxing sounds good to me.

Good afternoon everyone!

Very happy that it's Friday. Hubby will be home early and has a 3 day weekend to boot. I'm trying to get caught up on laundry. I got kind of lazy with it and just set the clean clothes in baskets in mynlaundry room. Could kick myself in a booty for that cuz now I'm taking a couple of hours to sort, fold and hang clothes for 5 people. Whew!

Going to try and get some fun activities in with the family this weekend. Kids go back to school on Wednesday.

Last night hubby decided he wanted to go out to dinner since I was able to bump up my type of food. I had a chicken ceasar salad minus the dressing. I was a little worried as I hadn't tried either chicken or lettuce yet. But I chewed and chewed and chewed some more. It took my longer to eat a few bitefuls of salad and chicken the it took for my hubby and kids to finish their dinner. LoL..I didn't have any problems and damn the chicken was good.

As far as my visit with doc yesterday, since my 1 week post op I've lost 14 lbs. I'm not sure if that's a good amount to have lost or not, but I am feeling pretty good about it. I've not been getting in enough excersice but with my kids going back to school I will be able to get on a better schedule. Summer always throws me off everything. My laundry room is proof of that..lol

Have a great weekend everyone and for those going tomorrow have fun. Hope to see you all there soon!
