Happy Birthday Go Travel and welcome to the over 40 club! I just turned this past Oct.
Congrats Bonnie on the weight loss. Wow 45 pounds!!!I just would love to drop 10! I assume with dieting, you are excercising your brains out? I hate excercise!! Something I am going to have to start to do like or not.

RAVE: TGIF! I have been waiting for FRiday all week. Somehow these short weeks always seem longer.

RAVE: Last SOL test for my kids. We are done! Only two more weeks of school and I can't wait till there is no more homework and schedules!

RANT: RAin again...uggh..please bring us sunshine this weekend. We have four soccer games. And since soccer is an outdoor sport, I am asking the heavens for perfect weather for me!

RAVE: It is Friday and I should shut up and stop complaining.
Have a good weekend all!!
