Reply to Susie's comments.

Thanks for leaving comments on some of my post Susie, I am always excited to what what people have to say about some of the post. In reply to the DIET post. I too beleive that cutting back is better than a diet. I went on weight watchers, and lost about 28 pounds, about 2 years ago. I gained most of it back. SO this time I am just trying to cook more girlled stuff , instead of fried. The sweets are not that hard for me to give up, just the sweet tea, sodas and my favorite sweet cereals. Of course like everyone I do enjoy great deserts, but give me mashed potatoes and spaghetti and stuff like that and I am just as happy. I like to loose 10 pounds pretty quick though, just to get me in a good mode and get me started. so far that isnt happening. I love crystal light, but I prefer only the pink lemonade. It is so good, it feels like I am cheating. HA! AGAIN.....good luck tomorrow. Hope you have many memories made tomorrow with your new husband and your friends that will be there at the reception party. Wish I could be there for ya.

Its another Birthday!

Donna Retherford (Taylor) had Ashley over for her daughter'Taylor's birthday this past weekend. Taylor's cake was decorated with a soccer ball and goal. She is playing soccer this year too. She is a sweetheart. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!

Ashley McLeskey

Ashley loves her new soccer uniform. She is #9.
She loves the game, and has already made lots of new friends, I know this, because she spent most of last night on the phone talking with girls from her soccer team . We have our 2nd game
Saturday at Pocahontas.

Aunt Opal and Kirtis

Aunt Opal and Uncle Bob were in for a visit this past weekend, and Kirtis stoped by his grandma's to visit, and they snapped this picture of him and Aunt Opal. Oh! and in the background you can tell what my mom does for a hobby. Of course, I think I take after her on that hobby.

TUESDAY ?

Well it is Tuesday, and we have soccer practice again today. Ashley and I are always excited about practice, and it is such a nice day out. The game on Saturday went great, we had a tied game, but it was lots of fun and the kids did great!

I am having to do the phones at the front desk for 1 hour today, it is lunch time for the the girl who usually answers the phone, I answer it once a week..;........that is enough. Although it has benn very quite today. I have magaged to read through 2 magazines, both of which the top story was why Renee and Kenny had their marriage annuled. (still dont know why) exactly anyway. I really didnt figure it would last.

I have only five minutes left here on the phone, so I guess I should gather my stuff up, and get ready to head back down to my own desk.

P.S. 2nd day of diet is going well, not as hungry today and my headache is better.
I walked at the Lafe park last night for about 45 min. It was so nice out. Ashley enjoyed the use of the park.

Diet Update

Ok, I am getting hungry now. Main problem is that my headache is here too. I want some caffine.....


I am anxious to get home so I can start supper. and my snack of pretzels and salsa, are sounding really good also.

Day 1 of My DIET!

After going shopping for clothes a few days ago, I decided that today was the day to start a diet. I hate dieting, it puts me in a really bad mode. I am making it fine so far....ha! It has just begun.

1 boiled egg , and 1/2 grapefruit...for breakfast.

1 Lein Cusisine for Lunch.

Grilled Chicken , Greenbeans, and 1/2 grapefruit for supper.

SNACK Salsa and pretzels.

Most important WATER WATER WATER WATER........etc.

It is 9:30, and I am on my 2nd 20 oz bottle of water. I am glad the bathroom is close to my desk. I awaiting my headache that usually come within about 4 to 5 hours after not having any caffine. I am trying not drink any sodas, just crystal light and water.

Check back in at the end of day, to see how I made it.

OH! Wish me good luck..........I will need it..............my will power level is always very low.

Bored..Bored...Bored

It has been such a boring day, it needs to be Friday. I am caught up here at work, and would love to be at home right now. I dont know if I will make it to 5:00 or not, with out falling asleep that is.

Thursday is last soccer practice before first GAME!

One more soccer practice today , before the first game on Saturday. I think it is gong to be a hot one today.

To the Fair to see Dana sing!

Well it is off to the District Fair in Jonesboro tonight to see Dana sing. Her show start at 6:00. Sandra Stephens and Beth Beck will be picking me up at work at 5:00 and we will be headed that way. Ashley is riding on with my mom and dad after school. Maybe they will get us a good seat!

KIRTIS IS 21 TODAY!

Today is Kirti's Birthday! He is 21. If you would like to send him a birthday wish, you can email him at kirtis@bscn.com

WE LOVE YOU KIRTIS!

Dottie is having her PUPPIES!

I opened the back door this morning to through out some breakfast leftovers, and as dottie crossed over the patio to get some food, she had a puppie, right there on the patio. It was solid black, and so tiny. Sammie , which is Dottie's mom, she grabbed her a bite and ran to the front of the house. she has been on the front sidewalk resting by our front door. I guess she wanted dottie to have the dog house on the patio all to herself. How SWEET!
Dottie has had 3 so far, and is in the dog house with them. I guess she thought she better wait on the food. HA! Pictures of them coming soon.

GOAT MEAT FOR SUPPER TONIGHT!

is what we are having for supper tonight. I have had goat meat before but tonight is different! This will be the first time that we have eaten any of our own goat meat. Steve took two to have them processed yesterday, and today they called us and said they were ready. So I know that Steve has picked it up , and is anxiously awaiting for me to come home from work and cook some for supper. We will more than likely just have burgers tonight, but I have been looking at some recipes for goat meat on the internet and found a few that I would like to try.( OK! GIRL FRIENDS) GET READY FOR SUPPER ONE OF THESE NIGHTS! WE WILL HAVE A GET TOGETHER AND GIVE IT A TRY! My friends may never come to visit again (for a meal anyway).

Name The Theme Park

Can you name the Theme Parks. I have been to all but one of these parks. I had a favorite as a child. Which one was your favorite.

Practice went GREAT!

Well, the second soccer practice went very well, Ashley lasted the entire practice this time, with out getting to hot. Parents were asked to volunteer out on the field, I was glad Steve was there, I just dont think I could have done it yesterday. I have had a head cold , and I just wasnt up to it. This picture was taken of Ashley at the first practice, she is by the concession stand. OUR FIRST GAME IS SATURDAY THE 24th of September.

Soccer Practice Today

Well it is off to Ashley's 2nd Soccer Practice this afternoon at 5:30. I think I am as anxious as she is, I really enjoyed watcing them on their first practice. I hope it is a little cooler this evening than it was last Saturday morning.
I have my chair and sun umberella all ready to go.

I am glad that ashely has taken an interest in a sport. I know that it will be good for her, and I think she is going to enjoy it.
Our Pastor, Curt Dwyer is her coach , and her best friend Charlie is on the team too. Alex Dwyer is on the team and they are good buddies also.

Got to get a few more things done here at work, see you later.

I am back!

Hey Everyone! I know that I promised to post somthing nearly everyday, but I have been busy. Steve's cousin and his family came to visit us for a week, we had a great time. We went to Blanchard Springs on last Friday, it was pretty kewl there, the caves were great.
Her are a few pictures that were taken while they were here visiting.
