    Thanks for the Congrats, Beth and Mark.  Hey Sofs-wow! What a cool photo shot of the butterfly-postcard worthy. smile  Klara-OUCH-I feel for you.  I've been working out hard lately and my right knee started giving me shooting pains yesterday evening.  I couldn't even walk the dog last night.  Missed Zumba this morning as well. sad   

    Hello Danette and Steven, whereever you are.  sad     
    Cara-have a FUN time and stay safe.  BTW  "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?"     

    Hi everyone out there- It is almost midnight here in N.C. USA and I am going to sleep!

        @Mom, you take I-75 south to the Ohio turnpike.  You take that until it turns into the PA turnpike and you stop in Pittsburgh for an overnight.  I'll share the rest later!  big_smile

    Good Sunday afternoon hubbers. 

    @Steven-thanks.  You have been away for awhile and missed all of the 'I got the job offer and took it' from me (a week ago, yay).  But, now I'm still waiting to sign the contract and get a start date.  sad    They're wigging me out here making me wait!

      As for me, I haven't been up to much lately.  Just been busy with school and work right now.  Other than that, I've been doing pretty well these days though.  Thanks for asking, and congratulations also on having your daughter become an elite hubber on here

        thanks for the congrats for me and my daughter-my job is more of the same of what I was doing, except I am going to be back on midnight shift-the only opening they had.  It is with another hospital in the system and I will be still working as a nurse.  Thanks for asking.

    @ KLARA - I have to tell you this one Klara..Linda and I go to McDonalds last night. All she wanted was her medium Hazelnut Ice coffee. the girl comes to the register and says someone will be with you in a minute. I said Ok. she moves over to the next register and say "Hi welcome to McDonalds can I take your order?" I said arn't you the same girlthat said someone will be with you in a minute and she said yep that was me. Holy crap am I drunk or something LOL to Linda.

    THEN she make the drink and hands it to me and ask me is that for here or to go?

    I said well I think she will drink half here and take the other half to go. Damn I never even experienced that stuff in my drinking days lol

    I thought you would get a laugh out of that Klara. really messed my head up on that one big_smile big_smile

        Linda and I laughed all night about that one lol And for me I reinacted it over and over and it was more funny each time I did it.

        Oh then we went to walmart in which we call it( WALL) for short lol and I have to tell you there are some sights there.

        I know I am far from perfect but gosh these people are hilarious to watch. I might just sit on the bench outside nthe store and make some Youtube videos. I'll make a fortune and the way they dress is bizzare.

            Hello Denise. I will read Cara's hub when I get home tonight. I am very busy here at the Cemetery and it is Hot as heck and readyto pour. I asked my men if they would trim some bushes outside the Office and they did and got bomb barded by yellow jackets. I feel bad, but if that were me doing it I would not be writing this now to you.

            I wrote a hub on my experiences with yellow jackets andthe ER Doctors saved my life after 4 hours of Linda wondering if I would make it or not. That is how bad it was sadsadsad

      Hey Klara, looks like everyone has a dog. I never had a dog in my life until Linda brought Mason home. I was a hot Italian because I said know dogs, BUT..... as time past (now 5 years ) I have grown to love Mason like my family. He is a peice of work and smart as a wip.

      I never had a dog when growing up even though my parents always ask me if I wanted one and I would say no.

      Unconditional Love they give and so loyal. Whe i arrive home from work he can hear my loud truck and know its me and goes crazy until I walk in the dooor.

      Your doggy is adorable too Klara. smilesmilesmile Irt is VERY hot and humid here in NJ. Just went to the store and bought a case of water for my guys, they will need it for the next couple of datys.

What a waste of my time and I missed the sunset sadsadsad I asked them.. what takes soooo long to enter in the computer and put 30 pills in a bottle?? One hour and you should of seen these ladies, no teeth can't talk to well and just a plain mess. I told linda are you sure those pills are correct. Who knows what that crew would do.

      Amazing! That lab is so very fit to stay on it's back legs that long!

      That is a hell of a routine to remember even for a human. Bravo! smile

        This is a merengue song (merengue being a style from Santo Domingo) and the title translates to "The dance of the doggie" Very very cute!

    Marky-that was hilarious.  I wonder if I can dress Beauty up and have her dance like that!  lol

    Klara-how's your knee?  Are you still working out?  I did 30 min of (biggest loser) 'kick-A**' Yoga, 30 min of weights, and 40 min of aerobic machines tonight.  I am sore, tired, but feel good.  Trying to rev the metabolism which seems to be stuck on a particular number and more stubborn than me!!!  sad

    He everyone else--am going to ZZZzzzz now.

      Hey Denise! My knee is still acting up, but I don't care... I'm planning to limp my way out of these extra pounds I gained three months ago. They're coming off! yikes
      Yoga is my ultimate goal. That's what I want to do on an everyday basis, but I have to lose this giant muffin top before I can hold my own weight with a bad knee. I'll get to it. I have no doubts. About the metabolism... do small meals (that include some protein and carb) every three hours. I've been doing it for a week now but I'm not always successful. With my in-laws in town we're eating at random hours and sometimes I eat more than I should. But even then, I've managed to lose some volume already. I can feel it! big_smile It's so great that you're taking care of yourself.

      Oh yummy, thanks!  I didn't know it was  a Rachel Ray recipe.  I love RR too.  She has really great, easy recipes.  I've been trying to eat "clean" for the past several months so sometimes I have to adjust her recipes a bit but they are fantastic.

        I cook Rachel Ray all the time... almost every night. smile I get bored eating the same thing every day, so I'm constantly trying new recipes. Enjoy!

          Yet another thing we have in common!  I love cooking and trying new things too.  In fact I'm sort of a cookbook junkie.  I just bought one the other day that was by Tosca Reno called The Eat Clean Diet for Family and Kids.  It has some great information and tips as well as healthy recipes.
