Ohara---I love strawberries too. I get a case each week from my Sysco man and they are so big and beautiful. I always have to sneak a few while making strawberry shortcakes. 
Great fun on Facebook...I love my new farm 
Still no prospects for a decorator... 
I looked at the calendar today and today was my 12th day with no time off. I was talking on facebook with my Brill rep and asked him if he had ever heard of death by decorating. He said no, well I may make history 
Actually I shouldn't complain because atleast I have a job. A vehicle to drive me there and back and legs to stand on to work.
I know what ya mean Kly! When I was working at Oakwood there were times I would work 40 hrs overtime then sleep 5 hrs a night. I complained like crazy when all the mandatory overtime was going on! Now--- Oh how I wish I could be back there working overtime!
I got out of the house for a little bit yesterday! Went to dinner with my mom and to Wal-mart! I was tired when I got home but man it was nice to have a break!
I am actually going to attemot to bake a cake for my step-dad. His birthday is tomarrow and my DD is gonna help me with it. I will post it if I manage to accomplish it!. The only thing I am really worried about is rolling out the fondant. That is hard work even feeling well!
Ladies have a good day!! Clicks done! OFF TO CHECK ON MY FARM!
Janice is everything ok with you? I hope so...
lildeby glad you got to get out. I'm sure it was great to be somewhere other than the house.
Clicking done.
Hi Ladies! I'm here and I think I'm okay, but am having something strange going on with my eyes, so I have an appointment for Thursday morning to check it out.
I have what I've called "shimmer" lights that form geometric shaped designs, kinda hard to describe. They start out small, usually in a V shape, and over 15 or 20 minutes they spread out until they disappear. I've had them happen once in a while for probably 3 or 4 years, but now I've had one on Thursday night, one on Saturday evening, and again about 1:30 this morning. After the one on Saturday, my DB (who has his own optical shop) said we'd better check it out, and made the appointment with one of his eye doctors yesterday. When I told him about this latest one, he said I should "chill out" until we can figure out what it is. So, that's what is going on here.
Today is my DD birthday, my "baby" is 45 years old! If you're on Facebook you can see her, her name is Dana (Wilson)...her two brothers are there too, Keith and Brian. Lots of cousins, aunts and uncles, etc., quite a lot of family...even my ex SIL and her ex, my ex BIL, and my wife-in-law (ex's present wife). Very interesting!
Clicks are done. Have a good day!
Hey ladies!
VJ, do you think this might have anything to do with your blood pressure? You might mention it to your doctor.
Lildeby, how's our stunt girl doin today? How did your cake come out?
Take it easy with all the overtime, Kly. Get as much rest as you can. Have you had any prospects for a decorator?
Oh, man we love strawberries, too. DH can't have chocolate so I ordered some carob wafers from CK -- they're actually not bad. I made him some "chocolate" covered strawberries. He's never had them before!!
We went for a bike ride on Sunday. Same route, but we were able to finish a little faster. I'm sore all over -- not as much as the first time. I had some cramping when we got home. DH said to eat a banana... I did but then I piled on some ice cream, chocolate sauce and pecans for good measure.
Still clicking!
Hi ya'll, the eye doctor says everything is okay, my lenses only needed a small increase even after 5 years. He thinks the flashing lights may be a form of migraine. I'm going to talk to my Primary Care doctor on Monday, see what he thinks. My BP goes around 130 for a while, and then drops down to like 116/85 this morning, so I don't know what to think. Needless to say, it seems to confuse my body, and I feel tired a lot...was really tired after the outing yesterday. We had to take my car which has broken air conditioning, and the temp was somewhere around 102. Keith and I stopped for lunch at the Waffle House (a little private joke from Facebook) so we broke it up into small segments of HOT so we didn't expire.
I've been clicking, just not always posting. Hope you are all okay and having a good day today.
Good Morning ladies.
Janice I'm sure being out in that heat was exhausting! It was only 90 here yesterday....and I was worn out last night when we got home! Glad that the eye doctor didn't find anything really wrong. I will be interested to hear what your primary care doctor thinks.
Honeydukes I love your version of getting in your bananas! Here I've been eating them plain! ha!!!
lildeby how are you doing?
Kly you must be working like crazy. I hope your well.
Life has not been very good here lately. We have dealt with some really crappy stuff this week. So yuck I won't even go into details.
I also picked up a summer cold. I have had a fever, sore throat and stuffy nose since Monday. Of course the mama has to just suck it up and keep going. LOL
On a different note they want to put our baby with his older brother (he's 20 months). So I thought they were going to move the baby. But now that it is all playing out.....I think we are getting the 20 month old. So we will have both boys. The baby turned 4 months this week.
I told the agency that I can't take him until first of next week. Our DD is running for Special Olympics this weekend. It is the end of our season...this is the state games. We have to be there all day today, Saturday, and a good part of the day on Sunday. It will be around 90 all weekend. She is VERY excited!
Sorry to be so long. I hope you all are well. Try to keep cool.

VJ, I'm glad your eyes checked out o.k. Maybe it's not migraines -- I wouldn't wish them on anyone.
Ohara, sorry to hear about your bad times. I hope things get better for you real soon. Summer colds are the worst. Good luck to your daughter!!
Hey, Lildeby and Kly, how ya'll doin?
Clicks!
I just saw this post for the first time. I clicked!! I have a mammogram scheduled in July.
Thanks for clicking and thanks for posting, dhccster, it is good to have you here!
That is great, that you are getting your mammogram, way to go!
Saturday clicking is done. Hope everybody has a good weekend.
Hey, dhccster! Wow, you're in the Netherlands, very cool. It's supposed to be a really great place to ride bikes -- we're cyclists (Stop laughing, ladies! I'm a beginner. My DH is a much more experienced rider.)
Getting ready for our morning ride. I'm checking in now cause I don't know what shape I'll be in later. We're trying a different (read: longer and more difficult) route today. Keep a good thought for lots of shade and downhills!
Hope everyone's had a good weekend!
Clicks!
I'm sure glad you got a really early start for your ride, with 103 temps, it doesn't sound like a pleasant afternoon activity!!!
Sunday clicks are done.
Pretty quiet here, trying to keep cool.
HHEELLOO Ladies...I feel like I'v been gone forever 
Yes, it has been a very hectic week for me. Today made my 21 day with no days off And still no time off until atleast after the 4th.
Jan---I'm glad your eye appt went well. As for the migraines you know I am a seasoned veteran of those horrid monsters and really hope you will not start having problems with them.
Honeydukes---how did the ride go? Hope you're not too sore!!!
Welcome dhccster!!! So glad you found us...Some of us are also on Facebook if you want to join in there too. I've been alittle out of pocket lately because of work, but I'll be back full force soon enough. Just jump in and enjoy!!!
Ohara---I hope you are feeling better soon!!! Whatever is going on with ya I hope it all work out as you want it to.
Lildeby---how are ya?
I may not be checking in here everyday but I am keeping up with my clicks atleast
Everyone take care and have a fab week...
VJ- have they ruled out occlear migrains? I have those and my eye doctor diagnosed them!It sounds like what u r trying to describe and they last from 5-10 minutes.
Welcome dchhester!! Hope you will become a regular in our little group!
ohara- I hope everythingis going better for you!Wow a 4 mo old and a 20 mo old! U will B busy!!
I have had a very busy week! The cake was ok but not great! I couldn't get down to that level well so some tareing in the fondant and the lettering came out crooked.But all in all it looked good my sted dad liked it and didn't even notice I spelled the name of his ship wrong! Then my computer got infected by a virus and had to be completely wiped clean and redone! My DD moved home from GA this week then her b/f broke up with her once they got home! Jack***!!!! He did it on purpose!So he wouldn't feel guilty leaving her in GA!Then sat morn 9 family members and I set out to Indiana for my Gma's 90th bday party! It was good to see her but her alzhiemer's was acting up. Not a good idea to have so many people she was very confused. Then on sunday we went to Ohio to see my Aunt and the graves of my dads parents. Then got home sun night. I am still exhausted! My Dr. frowned on it but understood my gma may not have a 91st bday.
Hopefully the week to come will be boring and uneventful! I need the rest!
Ladies have a good day!!!!! Clicks done!

All my clicks are current, have to keep that going no matter what!
Doctor appointment on Monday was okay, had to see a lady doc rather than my regular, and I don't like it when they switch on me like that. She also has no idea what the lights flashing in my eyes is, but we decided to just keep watching...haven't had any since last Sunday night. I've lost 15 lbs, a happy thing!
Hope you all are keeping dry, cool and enjoying summer.

Still clicking, but haven't been able to post because of all the wackiness going on -- triple and quadruple posts and such.
Kly I hope you're getting some rest. I can't imagine working that many days without a break. Take care of yourself.
Wow, VJ. Do you thing it's the physical therapy that has you losing weight?
Hope everyone else is doing o.k.!
My DS convinced me to start watching/cutting out carbs, I think that is what's taking the weight off...and that means no cookies, candy, ice cream, etc. Yuk!
Clicks are done this morning. I've got my mother here for a couple of days, so will be pretty busy, but I'll be back. Have a great day!
Hello ladies....
Just checking in. How are things going? I have had an unevetful week.
Just resting and healing!
Have a good day!!! CLICK!!!
Hi ladies!!!! Hope everyone is doing well!
Not alot going on here.
VeeJay how are the episodes going? Had anymore lateley? Consider asking your optometrist about Oclear Migrains there is medicine for them that prevents the occurance. They didn't give it to me but they are hoping my ssurgery will reduce them in me.
Ohara- have you gotten the other baby yet? How did the last day of the special olympics go?
Kly- I hope you get a day off soon. When you do just use it to rest!!! Even though you probably have a million other things to do!
Honeydukes- how are you? Haven't heard alot out of you latley!
Ladies have a good day!!!! Clicks done!
Happy 4th of July
Good morning ladies.
I did get the older brother on Tuesday. And yes I am busy! A 20 month old and a 4 month old are a lot of work. It will get better when we get settled into a routine. When ever we add someone to our home it takes a couple of weeks to find our "new normal". He is a good boy with a sweet personality. He has some speech difficulties. We need to find a speech therapist. That will be easier said than done.
The last day of Special Olympics went great. Lizzie ended up with a gold medal for the 4x100 relay race. Our girls were awesome! So, all in all she ended up with a bronze for the 100 m race, a silver for the softball throw, and a gold for the relay race. She was a very happy girl. It was a wonderful weekend! We had such a great time.
lildeby I think that it is awesome that not a lot is going on at your house. How are you healing?
Kly I hope you get some time off soon. Are you off today for the holiday?
Janice good for you for cutting carbs and losing 15lbs. How was the blood pressure?
Honeydukes how is the bike riding going? It sure is hot in you part of the world for riding.
What plans do you all have for today?
Today is my son's birthday. He is 24 today. How can that be? We are having a cookout for about 9 of his friends around 1pm. They are all leaving late in the afternoon, as they are all going to watch our professional soccer team play. We are then having friends over this evening. It will be a very busy day. I have most of the cooking done. No cake....none of mine have cake on their birthdays. DS chose Mississippi mud, always a favorite.
Well I hope you all have a great day.((((hugs)))))
Clicks are done for Saturday.
Ohara, my blood pressure is better, not all the way down to "good" but getting there. No more "shimmers" since last Sunday, so I'm hoping those are over.
My mother is still here with me, we got stalled on finding a nursing home/care facility because of the holiday weekend.
Happy 4th of July all of you! Jan
Hi ladies!
All is well with me I am healing good but they said it will take about 3 months for the fusion to heal completely. I have to go to court next weds for the first stage of my lawsuit.I don't have anything nice to wear that will accomodate my back brace.
Veejay sounds like you are doing well! Your bloodpressure gettin back to normal is great!!
Ladies have a good day !!!!!!!!! Clicks done!
Hey, ladies!
Uneventful sounds so good, doesn't it?
Ohara, congrats to your Olympian!! One of each medal is just perfect! Two babies under one roof must be heaven.
Lildeby you mean you haven't fallen or tripped or anything like that??? GOOD!
VJ, hope you and your mom have a good visit. 
Have you found any help yet, Kly? At least you have a day or two off for the holiday. Yes?
We've ridden a little, but cannot go unless we get out early. We see people riding at noon and around 6 in the evening. I have no idea how they do it. . . . I actually bought a pair of cycling shorts!! They're kinda expensive, but they have this amazing pad sewn in at the tushy. Nice. Think of a rather thick and quilted feminine pad from front to back. Looks weird, but makes riding so much easier.
Have a great holiday weekend!

Hi ladies!!
