Good Tuesday Morning Afters....

[BostonsJ]

Good Tuesday Morning Afters. It's back to work today. Yesterday was a total wash out here. It rained and rained and rained. It was gray and yucky all day. So rare for it to stay rainy for a whole day around here. I've gotten so used to the climate here with a little rain and then clearing and having the sun at least for part of the day, it depressed me. Today starts with rain again and by this afternoon it should stop and remain cloudy. Yuck. Tomorrow a warm up with it being warm again in the 80's and 90's by next weekend.

With the crummy weather yesterday I didn't do much. I didn't even feel like going for a ride to the garden shop. It was humid but cold. At some points we were in the 40's. I think our high was 52 yesterday. My plants won't be liking all of this rain. They like the heat and learn to be very drought tolerant here. And I had just planted at work on Friday I'm wondering if those boxes washed out. I guess I should bring some soil to work today just in case. I was actually so bummed out not to be out puttering in the yard I looked at my flower pictures for a bit yesterday trying to decide what I might change. :lol :lol

I hope some of you were able to enjoy the weekend with cook-outs and visits. Audra said it was actually 80 degrees back east and she was thrilled. The weather there has been rainy and/or cool so much this spring. Is it the weekend yet? =lolgang I have things to do! Oh well at least the deck got painted. It is all pretty white and new looking. Now once the deck bedding and end pieces get stained I will be a real happy camper and can set my plants and get some chair pads out there..

I am trying desperately to get this weight off. It doesn't seem to want to budge. I've done well giving up my Coke, I'm trying not to eat bread and I'm drinking water by the tons. I have eliminated most sweets and yet it stays! If the weather is clear tonight I will be starting my walking routine. You would think that being as active as I am that I would be burning off this fat but I'm not. Audra has lost 35 pounds in two months just eating wiser and walking. I'm thrilled for her. She really pounded on the weight having 4 kidlets one right after the other and now she is truly working on getting back to a normal weight for her. So I'm going to try to jump start myself by doing at least one long walk a night starting tonight. I guess maybe it is time to try low carbs or something similar.

Well that's about it here @fters. Have a good short work week!

Good Morning Judy and afters to follow.

I stayed at home all day yesterday. Just did little things around the house. Got a great surprise call from Denise - was great talking to ya girlfriend. I keep thinking I am going to surprise some addicts and call them and then I get busy! lol

Made Meatloaf, smashed taters and broccoli for dinner. Jim golfed with the guys and then came home. After dinner we watched a DVD and it was time for me to hit the sack!

All in all a good weekend. Sure wish it was a little warmer here. I guess I should complain as we aren't having those bad storms they are out west.

Back to work for me today - hope to get some flowers to plant this week. The cancer society usually gets them after Memorial Day and we always try and support them.

Hope you all have a great day - -

How about a beach day to get us going!

Good morning....

Send some of that rain this way, Judy. We were supposed to get rain yesterday, and not a drop. It was good for the holiday, but the plants sure could use a little rain.

Very exciting night for us around here (right Calgon??).....Red Wings WIN Game 2, and Pistons WIN Game 2 ! ! ! I can't even imagine being in Detroit last night...it had to be bustling with all the sports enthusiasts :dizzy......and major traffic jams, too.

Hope this short week flies by for everyone!

Ahoy Afters. It's a back to work day after a very long weekend. We had a GREAT time up in Jersey with family and friends. Got all caught up with the laundry yesterday, gave Georgie and much needed bath etc. It was good chatting with Donna too. It was a very pleasant day out on the screen porch and I got to enjoy some time out there too. It did end up getting VERY hot by the end of the day....I had to turn the AC on in the evening as the house was up to 80 and now way could I sleep in that temp.

Not much else happening here....hope everyone enjoys their day.
