Tennismom-In talking to my son this weekend, he said that your son would be able to class up with them. He also said that he is doing "awesome ! ! !" Weather update....1 1/2 inches in 2 days. High temp 48 flooding? Maybe if the rain continues. High mountains 1 foot of snow. This is not typical we are usually dry. I think its due to Global-Cooling. LOL Thanks for the facebook advice Pam. I will try it.

HAPPY FLAG DAYS LADIES! I hope everyone has their flag flying high today. Also Happy 265th Birthday to the Army!! Well I have to tell you guys I watched GI Jane last night and I should not have done that!!! lol!! Tennis Mom I am so glad to hear your son will be able to class up!!! That is great news!!! I wish I had a pool to float in and I bet Wyomingmom wishes she had the heat. It was very hot here yesterday 99 degrees and no breeze. Wyomingmom, I can't figure it out but I think if you go to your profile page you should see a box that says what is on your mind....type a new comment in there and see if that works, if not look under the comment box for the magnifying glass (filters) click on that and read what you have set-you may have it set to private where no one can comment....tell my daughter-in-law she needs to help you!!! lol!!! Have a great week ladies!! Love to all!!

Lasik scheduled for 27th June, the Dr told my son if all goes well he should get to class up on time YEAH!!! hes excited.
Wyomingmom, Don't do too much housework, I hardly dare say this ,but, once again I'm going to float in the pool with a fruity kind of drink..I know you hope I fall off the float. I'm sure summer will come your way soon.

Happy Friday Ladies!!! I got my laptop!!! My old computer got a trojan virus which infected everything, so I had to bite the bullet and get a new one!! I love it!! On the spur of the moment I bought a new camera too!!! Wish I had done that before PIR!!! Here's the update-I have lost 14 pounds!!! Yea!!! That treadmill is paying off! I also decided to try being a vegetarian for a while. Not hard at all since I rarely eat meat anyway! Yea Wyoming Mom I heard about classing up on July 12th (I actually heard the 14th). My son seems to think they are guinea pigging with their class. He said they seem to be doing a lot of things differently from classes before them! I miss you guys terribly. I bet we start chatting a lot more come July 12th!!! Proudlimom I bet you are getting excite about your trip to see your daughter!! Love you guys!! Glad to be back on!

TennisMom and Pam, congrats on the weight loss. Keep up the good work. I was told that the boys are not going to class up until July 12th. Crazy Crazy. I just want some sympathy from you all...our high temp for the weekend is mid 50's low's 30's. This is not typical for us...so I will spend my weekend doing some much needed housework that I have been avoiding. Miss you all. Pam I hope you get your new computer today. {{HUGGS}}

Pahaoapam, I'm also a WW member I've lost 25lbs since B/C graduation , still have more to lose. I will be visualizing losing 12 sticks of butter each week. Congrats to your son!!
wyomingmom, I know what you mean about summer, my son came home early from H/S.. I asked him why he was home so early... he said mom schools out for summer... its 101 degrees in TX so I should have known summer had arrived.

Who forgot to tell me that summer is upon us and things were going to hit warp speed in an instant??????LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I think of you all daily, as well as those crazy young men of ours. Congrats to "Powder" how cool is that. My wish of the day is that he will call sometime.....and I wish that for all of you, except Pam. Hey Pam.....see if "Powder" will call me on occassion.
