Tagliarchy Island Part 2

[llebrekniT]

Good morning everybody.

Trying to decide whether to take time today to go shoe shopping for Daniel, look for some finish-up items for our pond, stay home and finish mulching, go see a movie with Holly this afternoon before our baseball game. My movie options are "13 Going on 30" or "New York Minute" and no it's not my decision, Holly is picking. We will see "Shrek 2" when the whole family can go.

Summer plans include, but are not limited to: sleeping until 7:30 everyday; getting nice and tan while playing with the kids in the pool; making weekly visits to the pool/mini water-park with DHB, lots of baseball games; at least one major league baseball game; we have a two day trip planned to Cincy; try and lose that last 10 pounds to reach my goal weight; catching lightning bugs at night; lots of cookouts and picnics, blah, blah, blah.

I LOVE SUMMER!

I didn't realise it would be that far from Pheonix. It took us about an hour to get from Kingman to Las Vegas when we drove there. When my friend takes any flights she often leaves from Las Vegas.
We saw Sigfried and Roy too, those tigers were so cute!! It is a shame they are not there any more after the accident.

I would go traveling with your parents if you can TalkisCheap. Paris is wonderful, I have been quite a few times (although the first few visits give a bad impression. You really need to know the city and how to get around to enjoy yourself there.) Spain is great too, I have been to quite a few Spanish cities, I went to school in Cordoba for a while (near Malaga) when I was learning Spanish. I have only been to Italy once when I was 18 and on tour with the orchestra I was in. We did a tour of the Italian lakes and went to Venice and Verona as well. I was in Venice on my 18th birthday which was quite cool. I think my favourite European holiday destination for relaxation would be Austria as it is so peacefull and the mountains are bigger than in Switzerland (but that is nice too). Plus when I went to Austria I went white water rafting which was amazing.

Oh well, enough thinking about holidays and back to the house work

I wonder what RRBB and ohanafamily are doing right now? I wish I was with them! I am so envious of you guys who are going to meet them there next week!!

 

[TalkisCheap]

Have you ever been to Germany, Danauk? That is the one country I REALLY want to go to. I plan on spending part of my junior year abrode there, because I want to minor in German...I'm totally taken with that language..don't ask me why!!


13 Going on 30 was a good movie, I liked it. I would never go see New York Minute because I would being throwing things at the screen because you have no idea how much I hate Mary Kate and Ashley... Bleh!

 

[ibouncetoo]

Well, I'm off for a nice long walk, before it get's hot here.
TODAY IS THE DAY I'M BACK ON PROGRAM/TRAINING SCHEDULE!







maybe if I say it loud enough, it will become reality!

 

[Danauk]

I have only been to Germany for a few days and didn't really see much. I did see the castle that the one in the MK is supposed to be based on though (it did look very similar.) I didn't learn German at school, I took Spanish instead and French. I'm not too keen on Germany as a whole, not sure why. I guess I had lots of bad experiences with German tourists when I was younger (they have a habbit of getting up really early and putting their towels on the sunbeds and then sleeping in. Plus there was the incident with the naked German guy appearing on my 14th floor balcony when I was 7, but that is a whole other story..... )

 

[TalkisCheap]

Craving something really yummy, so I'm off to make us oodles of German Chocolate Pie...

I think I know which one you are.

 

[cadburysmom]

geffric Please know I am saying a special prayer for you and your family today as you attend to your mother's funeral.

TalkisCheap I think I know which baby pic is yours too! But as for the rest, I have no clue.....I'm such an impatient person and will be the last to know....I have to wait until after my WDW trip to find out, unless I can squeeze it out of RRBB next Sunday...guess I'll have to buy her a bunch of those Lupa Lupa drinks!

 

[cheeringmom]

Morning all

Sending tons of hugs your way GEFFRIC We are here for you!!

Congrats ODDBALL for making VARSITY!! HOORAY FOR YOU!!

Baby is still sick. Had to come home early from church. Gotta go. be good today.

[COLOR=339900]ibouncetoo[/COLOR] Good luck on your new training program.....I started one too but with so many end of the year school activities, I've botched up badly Last night after I got home from Shrek 2, Cadbury and I took a late night walk and ended up walking for over two hours.....it was so nice and peaceful with no traffic and very little heat. Wish we could do that every night!

TalkisCheap Your summer plans sound wonderful....wish I was in your shoes!

[COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR] Your summer sounds wonderful too....I'm not a "summer" person at all except when I'm at the beach. This summer is starting out badly as our swim and tennis club renovated the pool over the winter and because of bad weather, etc.....won't be ready til early July...I usually play lots of tennis to keep fit and I blame my added 10 lbs on not being able to do that The only advantage to this is it gives me another month to shed my extra weight before I have to get in a bathing suit.

 

[TalkisCheap]

Good almost afternoon(here anyway!)...still haven't made those pies yet....BLAME IT ON JOHNNY DEPP! I was flipping channels to find something to be on in the background as I was baking, and Johnny HAD to come on the screen and I ended up watching this show just because they showed him at the beginning and I watched the whole thing to see if he would be on again...Evil handsome men...(Mel Gibson is worth 500 million dollars...thats a lota money!)


My summer is sounding pretty darn good right now...I wish it would hurry up and get nice down here! Right now it's cold and rainy...yuck!!


Why does everyone know which one I am?! I wish I had that kinda luck with the rest of you...those newborns, ah I can't even tell what gender they are!! Three I'm positive of...the rest...wow.


Well, I'm going to start those pies. Woops, I said I'll pm you guys the recipe while they're baking...suppose I change that to chilling since they arn't actually baked. They're a perfect summer dessert because you don't have to turn the oven on! Well, I'll drop by in a while!

Me either. Summer means less clothes and there are body issues here.

Most people that have weight issues have nice legs and arms and gain in the belly area. I am all messed up, all over. Big arms, legs, butt....less in the tummy. My DR says I wear my weight well. That means it's all over and not concentrated, but I have not one nice area. I don't like wearing shorts.

I LOVE summer activities. Just not summer wear, or lack of. Most likely.....I'll be seen in capris.

I'm right there with ya! I look back at pictures where I actually look pretty good and at the time thought I had sooo much fat

.......my ONLY redeeming quality is I don't have any varicose veins, at least not yet......there's this woman at our pool who has the perfect body and wears teenie-tiny bikinis but we love the fact that she has terrible varicose viens....I know that's evil of us but we think she's had a face lift, **** job, etc....so why the heck can't she fix her legs after all ?????

Gotta <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/18/18_3_110.gif' border=0></a>. The baby is awake, letting me know it too. Time to put him in the <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_12.gif' border=0></a> and go for a walk. Keep plugging away to get my old body back, that's all I can do. It didn't appear over night.

What I love about summer?
1) 5 weeks off work
2) The weather - hot but we don't get the humidity.
3) Being able to sleep in more.
4) Being able to eat outside and enjoy the garden more.
5) Holidays - although we don't have any big holidays planned this year as we are doing work on the house we will get nights away to a few places.

What I hate about summer?
1) Wishing I hadn't gained the weight over winter that I lost for last summer and having to loose it again!
2) Having to go into work even though I am supposed to be on holiday and don't technically get paid to do so. But knowing if I don't my room will not be ready for next year and I won't be prepared!
3) The bugs!!
