Nice one... I needed to see a baby holding A guitar and sporting purple high tops upon waking from my two hour "nap"... Getting old! But it is a new day and I have a pulse- so groovy! Hope you all have a great day! Hey everyone by the way I'm a newbie to the group! What a fun combo we all have!!! Looking forward to participating more!

Great description- would make a great advertisement slogan for MDJ! Smile

Loved the picture Blue! I stayed up way too late last night in search of a receipt. Never did locate it but I know it is here somewhere. It will turn up! Trying to get my desk organized. Of course that means that I slept in. Exercise class is at 12:30 so I only have a few minutes to post.

It looks like my phone will survive the dive in the toilet. It was in a protective case but the charger port was not closed. As long as it is okay I will be a happy camper. I just purchased it in March. Devil

Butterfly, you are so lucky to live near such great entertainment. W00t It would not matter for us because of hubby's condition. We just have to rock on at home!W00t

HM, a big hello to you dear friend. I am going to try to PM you today. Love your dearie.

PF, hope that you have a good day. I did get myself some peppermint oil. It is great! I take a whiff of it and it does give you a little energy boost. Silly Amazing. I haven't tried putting it on a rag yet. I bet that would be awesome!

I better get myself together. Here's hoping that I can make it through class today.

Hugs all around.

Good Afternoonish Eveningish Smile

Quiet day in the middle of nowhere..

Oh but last night I was on the back deck sitting on my patio loveseat and I could here rustling below me so I quietly got up and looked~

low and behold my 'fat girl' (this extremely fat female raccoon that has been coming around for many many years) was down below eating the snacks we threw down there for her... With 5 BABIES!!! I thought she was to old to have babies but nope! I tiptoed into the house and told hubby and Sav. We watched them for a long time. AWE!!

I bought my son 'Warped Tour' concert tickets for next week. He and some friends will be driving 4 hours south of us to go.. This will be the first time we've ever allowed him such freedom. Scary!! But I really have a lot of faith in him and his driving. He is very trustworthy.. But he is my baby nonetheless and it's hard letting him go.

Lol now that I've chattered on and on about my kids and animals...

I didn't sleep worth a darn last night, body pains and nerve pain.. My rash is coming back also?? I will have to talk to my Dr about that in a few weeks.. Haha probably be put on another med!

Bfly~

If I didn't already welcome you to the group~

Welcome!!

As you see~ we all come on here when we can. We talk about our lives, family,

random things and our illness's. We vent. We are all pretty close here, and you're more than welcome to join any and all discussions Smile

Susan~

I love the baby picture!! Awe!!

I wasn't really ready to be a grandma yet when we found out our daughter Sav was pregnant, lol. She was young. But I love babies and it all worked out. They live here with us and Z is raised by all of us. I do wish she would've been older of course. She gave up a college scholarship but it all happened for a reason and Z is the light of my life Smile

Sam~

How was your exercise class? I am so proud of your commitment to it. What else did you do today?

Megan~

How are you today? I hope you're feeling good Smile

BF9~

I am glad that you took a day to rest!! Any new plans?

I hope you can go to the concert you want to!! Who is it? You are so blessed to have so many options! I am slightly envious- lol!

There are NO options here in the woods! Raccoons are the highlight of my week.. Hmph!

Smile Smile

{{{HUGS}}}

To all my wonderful dear friends!

I hope your pains are very low today!

Good Evening Everyone! I hope your day has gone well.

I went to see Magic Mike today and it was fun. Excellent eye candy. Smile

Cute pic, Blue-very good quote too.

Sam~Your exercise classes sound great! I wish there was something low impact like that here. I'm going to try a swimming lesson in mid July though so maybe that will help me lose weight. Hope you are having fun.

Bfly~good to see you posting. I hope you had a nice day. One with a pulse is always nice. Wink

HM~You are too funny! That racoon sounds cute. I think its' cool that you get to experience nature so close. And yes, I stay busy with my city living, I have to keep myself distracted. If it makes you feel any better-my view is of a parking lot with a freeway behind it. Not exactly inspiring. Sad LOL. Oh, and the band is called Dead Can Dance. You can look them up on myspace or probably Youtube. They are very soothing and spiritual kind of music. I LOVE them-check it out.

Megan~Thinking of you!

So, I guess I will watch the news now or find something to do, maybe play some online scrabble. It was cool to see so many posts today. Have a wonderful evening everyone. Talk to you later.~

Areusam... My mind is feeding me so many interpretations of that pic- I don't know which one to accept! I hope it's that your "crashing out" and getting some sleep - but if you are feeling down I sure hope you feel better!
