Hand him a piece of pizza and say "Join the Club, Pops!"

I gained 5 pounds in last night's dinner. Went to a friend's place for dinner, delicious home-made italian sauce and meatballs. We ate SO much.

Well, I am back on the BL diet today!!!!

Posted: 8/1/05 at 12:01pm

Diets should be postponed until after Labor Day and cease right before Hallowe'en.

Omigosh...what is WITH my horoscopes lately. Apparently the world is my oyster...I just haven't gotten to the seafood course yet:

You're the next big thing -- really! So if you're feeling impatient, try to hold on for just a little longer -- the stars are working hard to get everything lined up just right for you and your big debut.

I break my diet one day a week. It's the only way I can stay sane.

Thanks C - I will be reinstituting the BL "life choices regime."

You are correct about that.

Work is a four letter word that gets in the way of my social life.

One of my classmates on Saturday said that he and his wife "retired" a few years ago and he said that it was easy to do nothing all day. Now, he is divorced and working at a pool and spa store. So much for "retirement?"

I plan to be completely retired by 55. You?

Posted: 8/1/05 at 12:59pm

Well, if it was not for these pesky kids of mine!!!!!

Put 'em to work now BL...get 'em working on college funds, car funds, etc...

I'm hoping to 'retire' in my late 40's. Early 50's at the latest.

This is turning out to be an odd day... I feel a bit discombobulated...

Same here DD!!!!!

It is hot here. My wife is going to Ravinia with the ladies tonight. I was gone all weekend and was so tired and crabby last night that I do need some quality time with the kids. They received their class assignments so there will be lots of phone activity and instant messaging, etc to their friends.

We're actually overcast and chilly today in the great Pacific Northwest... ok, 75, but still, it was warm all weekend, and we wake up to clouds and wind. Nice change.

I also got my new computer at work... yay!

Hey all - BL, I'm glad you had a good reunion!

What's with all the retirement talk?

I went to the Bowl last night, which was simply fantastic. They played parts of the original "Light In the Piazza" before it was made into a full score and musical. Barbara Cook sang after that - I kind of wanted her to come back another night so I could listen to Piazza again. And again. Barbara was fantastic though! Everyone was, and a good time was had by all. Pics'll be up soon.

So yeah -- today is do nothing day, I guess. I have to watch a DVD on my new car insurance for some reason. See y'all later!

My daughter's class - C11 - are a bunch of smarty pants. Their test scores are about 10% higher than the other tested classes.

[shira467]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 2:37pm

Oooh! I wonder where C11 got THOSE smart genes from, BL?

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 8/1/05 at 2:43pm

Their mother is very smart and intelligent but was not a test taker certainly not a great student. We actaully took a few classes together - Earth Science - it was very difficult for here and a piece of cake for me. We are lucky that our relationship survived "half life." She could not understand it and I could not understand how she did not get it!
