I'm gearing up to do all tourist things we normally avoid during the summer. My stomach is ready for some yummy, unhealthy treats!

Lakes that sounds awesome, hope you have a great time! I am going to do some shopping for fall clothes. I am not really where I want to be but having some clothes that actually fits well will probably make me feel better. After that we are going to the park and laze about.

We had a crazy week sorry I haven't been keeping up. My husband lost his job but we don't know when it's over,sometime next year. He's hoping to hear about at least one job soon but they keep putting off giving him answer. I hope everyone's having a fun weekend and I hope I can catch up!

I agree about the new clothes making you feel better, I always try to think I'm always working on my body so I might as well look cute doing it. |

@neenoneeko I'm sorry about your Hs job and the uncertainty that must bring. ((Hugs)) Mmmmm enjoy your indulging Lakes!! Jealous! I hear you on the clothes ambiguousmango. I hate buying stuff for a body I don't envision myself in a year from now, but having cute stuff definitely helps with the mood and self esteem! |

E had her first swim lesson today. She loved it. She did get cranky towards the Ed since it's right at nap time. Glad she liked it and it's a small class too.

Coconut shrimp ✔️
Fries ✔️
Chocolate peanut butter custard in a waffle cone ✔️✔️
Gin & tonic on the porch watching the sunset ✔️
My only regret is not getting the caramel corn for now but I was so full at the boardwalk I could not contemplate buying more food.

Hi ladies! Lakes maybe I should have evacuated to you!
I decided to go north, thanks for the advice ladies, the hurricane turned and it is expected to hit my town at a 4. I am so so nervous for my family that decided to stay. And for my house, I know it is just stuff but it would still be devastating to lose it.
I am also going to need to vent a bit while we are here! I'm staying with mh's brother and his family. My ils live 35 minutes away and have been here both days and will for sure be here tomorrow and Monday. It's fine but its easier when mh is also here. This morning I came out of my room at 7 to make R's bottle and they were here. 7. That's a little much. And none of them drink coffee so there is no coffee in this house. It's all a little too much!

I'm glad you're safe meeggaannw! Hopefully everything slows down and your area doesn't suffer major damage. I can't remember but did you say your h has to stay? You guys are in my thoughts. |

I would murder people without coffee meeggaannw. You are a saint. Any chance of them watching the kids for you so get a break? Trying to find the silver lining in this but I know it's tough. *hugs* |

Thanks, I'm praying for a shift or slow down too. Mh is a nurse and has to be at the hospital the entire time. He went in tonight and doesn't get to leave until Tuesday at the earliest. If we were home we would have gone to the hospital with him. |

meeggaannw I'm sorry your H's family is broken, coffee is a must. But seriously be safe and I will be thinking of you guys. I did shopping.... It was not fun. I am now sitting at home with wine and a facemask trying to feel better about today.

meeggaannw how are things this morning in FL? Is your H doing ok? We're getting ready for Irma to make her way to GA and I think I'm just going to go camp out at my parents house since they have a finished basement and way less scary trees.

Smart move carrots. I grew up in the woods and never thought anything of it but now as a homeowner, trees terrify me. I'm so glad we don't have a large one on our property. The neighbor's trees are close, so we get the shade and leaf pile benefits, and they would end up in our yard but not on our house. |

I'm detoxing from my food weekend by having half a hoagie for lunch and the other half for dinner. Smart decisions all around.
We stopped at a farm stand and loaded up on fresh NJ fruits and veggies. I'm excited. 🍅🍎🥒🥔
