Okay I am here!!

What a busy week!!! Saturday was such a nice day we worked outside all day. We got the garden weeded, all the flower beds cleaned out, hung up my swing, planted some flowers. Then I rode Richard's 4 wheeler for 2 hours. It was really nice just to ride it by myself. I enjoyed it more than when we all get together and ride. Richard told me "don't you think it's time to get off my bike ?" Too funny!

Well Sunday that was the BOMB!!!! Lisa and Richard threw me and Erik a surprise b-day party! I was truly surprised! I didn't know a thing! It was a very nice party, I could tell Lisa put in allot of work and effort and I thank her! Richard too! I was glad to see all my siblings there with their families, Doris came too! Mike and Angela came by the house later that evening to bring me a gift, they couldn't make the party as you all know, they were on their way back from Florida. What a cute couple!! Thank you guys for all my great presents and well wishes! I love you all!!! :)

Monday the gang went to Kings Dominion, they had a great time. Richard and Erik, got beat up on the wooden roller coasters! Lots of bruises, and stiff muscles! They are off again today, back at Kings Dominion, leaving me home on my real b-day, but that is okay, I will be chilling today, (( I Think!!!))

I also wanted to shout out a CONGRATULATIONS to Debbie and Andy who became engaged last weekend. The wedding is planned for April 2008. I know they will be very happy together!! Check out the beautiful ring she got! You go girl!

Tuesday was Weight watchers weigh in, I did okay I lost 2.4 pounds, which is great! Some times it seems like it is so slow. But I rather lose a half a pound a week then lose none! I am hoping this slow lost will teach me how to eat the rest of my life, to make a life change. Rita has again, had a problem with the people who weigh her in. They told her she gained 4.8 pounds. She didn't like it, but took it, and thought " well, I thought I had gained , but not that much!" She goes home and checks the book, the Math was wrong....... she lost 1.8 pounds! Great job!!! Check that Math!
Also Tuesday was Craft day on QVC. I only bought one thing! They did have new products but nothing I really needed. I missed David though, I sent the Q, an email and tell them so!


Wednesday Lisa and Erik went to Delaware to visit his grandma and aunts. Lisa said they are the nicest people and funny! I am glad they had a good time. I canned tomatoes and peppers! Allot of work! Boy it seems every year it gets harder and harder, what do you think that is about???

Thursday, I had to get my driver license renewed, I was only there about 30 minutes and my picture was pretty good! Can you believe that!?!?? Of course I lied about the weight part, but I don't have to have it renewed for 5 YEARS! So hopefully by then I will be less than what it says, and I can tell the officer, "Oh that was when I was fat" hahahahahahaahaaa!!!!
Lisa insisted that I go clothes shopping for her and Erik, we spent lots of time at Old Navy and Fashion Bug. They really got some nice outfits, and spent lots of money!!!! They wanted to buy fall/winter things, so nothing was on sale yet! I was whipped by the time I got home.

And now we are up today, Richard fixed my breakfast for me before leaving this morning. YUM! I think I will work on downloading some pictures and watch a movie. Okay I have talked your ear off so I will let you go so until next time! Love you- mean it!!!
