awhfy Posted July 28, 2016 #577 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Wow Laurie! I wonder who got your dress? My surgery just got pushed to 13 Sep. Medicare wouldn't pay for the surgery at a surgical center so I have to go to the hospital (which I prefer), where they'll pay for it. My doc is putting in platinum implants (I'm allergic to titanium). I guess another couple of weeks isn't too bad. I'm going to be on a knee walker (non weight bearing) for 6 weeks now (instead of 3 [emoji30]) & crutches (ugh). Trying to drop another 10-15 lbs before then as I'll be inactive for awhile. Wish me luck! Melody Edited July 28, 2016 by awhfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted July 28, 2016 #578 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I decided since I've a few more weeks & it was very hot (98), but not windy that we'd do a little paddleboarding today . Les obviously agreed with my suggestion. Edited July 28, 2016 by awhfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurspag Posted July 29, 2016 #579 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Paddleboarding sounds like a lot of fun! We aren't really near water so I can't say we do many water sports. Our anniversary is today. Since we both worked and had our usual errands to run today, we decided to celebrate on Saturday instead. We have a new venue that opened near us called Movie Tavern. You can get dinner and a movie? So that is what we are going to do this Saturday. We're going to see Star Trek. Yup, we are trekkies. Hopefully, we will have time to take a few things back to the mall! I'm going to look for that dress in the store, but JCP is having 25% off right now. The dress is on sale for $39.99 to begin with, and I think the discount was another $8.00. I really can't go wrong, if I like the dress and it fits good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted July 29, 2016 #584 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Happy Anniversary Laurie! Love the new photo. We had a Star Trek party with friends yesterday, four couples for a movie/dinner date. We have all been friends since our dating days, and miraculously no divorces among us. ::fingers crossed:: I think you will really enjoy the movie. Very fun and hair-raising to boot. I have to say, I don't know if it's my eyes or my age or my expectations, but the action sequences these days are so fast and blurry that I can't really see what happens. Is it just me, or do they do that on purpose? I mean, I can kind of tell what's going on, but it's more through feeling and inference than actual seeing. I feel like an old fart. Sally, I'll be interested to hear how you like that pink dress. I think, with a style like that, that the quality of the fabric will be very important. I saw this article and it made me think of all of us with our various aches and injuries: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/07/22/cycling-losing-weight_n_11137786.html The recent Seasons in Transition catalog from Coldwater Creek had some nice EARTH items. I hope DH gets a job before fall because, among other obvious reasons, I really want this green (cactus) cardi set: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/noname/silk%2Fcotton-cardigan/20310.html?dwvar_20310_color=150#q=silk%2Fcotton%2Bsweater&start=2 and this scarf in mallard blue goes perfectly with my packable down coat: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/noname/signature-swirls-scarf/97820.html I am wondering if this is that neutral mushroom-like color that I like (dark desert khaki): http://www.coldwatercreek.com/shop-all/pants/cottonluxe%C2%AE-ankle-pants/60035.html?dwvar_60035_color=100#q=ankle%2Bpant&prefn1=refinementColor&prefv1=beige&start=4 Hard-to-find orange sweater: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/noname/mixed-rib-open-cardigan/20269.html And this top in vanilla would go with many things in my wardrobe: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/noname/gingko-leaf-print-do-it-all-shell/10402.html?dwvar_10402_color=150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 29, 2016 #585 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Things I don't really need, but I like: This isn't EARTH, but it's the kind of cheat I can swing (with black skinny jeans and cool boots): http://www.coldwatercreek.com/noname/millefleurs-crochet-trim-tunic/10423.html I just love this color Meadow Green, but I wonder if IRL it's more AIR: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/style/sneak-peek/anytime-square-neck-tank/30267.html?dwvar_30267_color=287#q=square%2Bneck%2Btank&prefn1=refinementColor&prefv1=blue&start=2 I have a necklace similar to this, though not as pretty, and it works well to bridge an EARTH top with black pants: http://www.coldwatercreek.com/style/sneak-peek/honey-and-spice-necklace/97906.html That's all my armchair shopping for the day! Just an aside, DH got a big consulting gig yesterday so we are set for awhile. :) And my dad's cancer consultation got moved to late August so now I can have a social life (everything was on hold until we had a date).

awhfy Posted July 29, 2016 #586 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Margaret, I'm going to have to look at C Creek. Love the swing cardigan Here's a little of what we dealt with yesterday & more expected today We were lucky & didn't have damage yesterday . Melody.

Sailor_Sally Posted July 30, 2016 #589 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Melody , That is too bizarre . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted July 30, 2016 #590 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Bizarre is definitely the word, this storm hit at 11pm. Very unusual for here. We are normally very dry (high desert after all) but today (@ 7:45 am is 92 degrees & 90% humidity. So when did CO move to Boston in the summer? Expecting more major storms this weekend. We're battening down the hatches. Think it's time for me to go shopping! Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted July 30, 2016 #591 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Melody, if you're going to shop CC, be sure to read the reviews for sizing. They were much more true to size when they were B&M. I also check for comments that the fabric is too thin, like for t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurspag Posted July 31, 2016 #593 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I love so many of those things, Margaret. I got a twin set (sort of) from Loft for a great price in that same green. The cardigan is a V neck and the shell has a lace overlay and more of a scoop neck. I love the color. That rusty orange sweater is great.

MJC Posted August 1, 2016 #597 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Woohoo! I'm going to Siesta Key for four days in September to see my sister. The following week I'm going with DH to Miami Beach for a long weekend (he has a conference). So, I have something to plan and obsess over. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted August 1, 2016 #598 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well, I got to Tuesday a Morning 2 hours after they opened & bought the last Travelon purse they had!. I was pretty happy with the colors. It's cream, black & same burgundy as my Athleta skort. It will immediately go into use! We also decided that we both needed a lobster roll & with no appointments in August we decided to drive to Boston for several weeks & get a few! We'll also attend our mini class reunion BBQ this Sat & a week on Squam Lake Margaret, love Siesta Key! Yay for you! Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted August 1, 2016 #599 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Melody, cute purse! I went to see the Isaac Mizrahi show last week: http://media.ai-ap.com.s3.amazonaws.com/dam/cropped/2016/03/16/isaac_01.JPEG I saw several EARTH items I would love to have. :) The dress on the left is one that Helen Hunt wore to one of the awards shows.
