Well work wasnt half as bad as I thought it was going to be.. boss man only came in for about 15minutes.. Enough time to scream at everyone then he left. Thank god for small favors
Yes all those wondering my pancake recipe is posted in the low carb thread under entrees.. and they are YUMMY! Just takes some time and a couple batches to get the art of cooking them

-Star you do look great! You provide me with more ambition to stick with it then you know!

-Shimma I'm happy you and your BF are back together. You know he was just miserable without ya

-Brenda, Sorry bout the bruised bum.. maybe sit on a heating pad today and warm that bottom up

- Tummy, I go through the same thing here.. DH nags about me spending too much money but whenever he comes along the bill seems to double.. go figure!

-Nutski I would have caved in to grandma too dont feel bad

Ok well I'm off to shop for some sort of AB thingy. Walgreens didn't carry the one you talked about Spedmom but I'll have to try Walmart or maybe Target. The only thing they had in stock there was the AB Swing and it was 99 bukeroo's.. a tad out of my price range at the moment.

Here I am - after a terrific carb loading weekend.....but I have decided to wipe the slate clean and begin afresh - forget the 35 lbs already lost (well not really forget)...but start again new....for a clean two week induction! Wish me luck!

Star - you look absolutely gorgeous dahhlling....and there was no way I was going to miss the "blisters from screwing comment"...I was suriprised it was not already worked into the ground!

Hey Tummy - maybe some Astroglide next time? ha ha ha ha ha.....

I actually ate COOKIES YESTERDAY - can you believe it? - with big m&ms in them - very yummy - but I am paying for it today!

Joining Leens in the "sick kid club" - Home early as youngest ds was sick at school - so I got a call and had to leave work early - of course when I pick him up he is all smiles and happiness (they told me he was crying all morning and very cranky which is quite unlike him...) I think once he threw up he felt better? Home now watching "Country Bears"......yippee

Went out saturday night and saw "The Last Samurai"... scenery/cinematogrophy was great...a bit gory tho with swords slashing thru people and heads flying off!...very long movie too - dh says at least we got our money's worth!

Drinking water now - trying to flush out the system.......going to a "ladies" meeting tonight - where there will be lots of goodies - need to be strong and stick to diet pop or decaf coffee......will eat a good dinner before I go out.

May need to stay home tomorrow if youngest is not feeling better? but he seems pretty okay at this point.

Jina - good luck with the weigh in - let us know how you do!!

karen - congrats on the weight loss - and take care when exercising!

Shimma - while the "bad carb" eaters may be losing weight now - it will catch up with them - they are probably not even in ketosis! sorry to hear about the snow.

We are expecting more snow tonight (after digging out this weekend) but it was suprisingly mild today...like -4 degrees celcius (a regular heatwave)...I even wore a skirt to work today (I rarely show my legs)...and it fit, it used to be very tight - now it's quite comfortable...almost loose!!...and my pantyhose doesn't cut off my circulation in my thighs anymore - will wonders ever cease?

So - what's eveyrone planning for valentine's day? What's with all those DECADENT CHOCOLATES everywhere you look?

Hey everyone, stopping in quickly to say hi!

Star, your avatar is mahvahlous! Glad you had a good weekend, Jina!

Like Froufy said, it is darn-near tropical weather up here today, a welcome relief! Let's hope that I can put the long underwear away for the rest of the season!

*Still* dealing with the library regarding a book that they say I lost. This is the 4th book that they have accused me of losing. I returned all 4 books at the same time, however the first 3 I was able to find on *their* shelves, so we resolved those issues easily, but this 4th book is causing a problem since I can't find it on their shelves. So they can't believe me on my word that I returned it. They apparently gave the shelves a good search over the last week, so the manager/head librarian says to me, "What do you think we should do?" I'm sitting there thinking, "I don't know, you're the boss here. I just know I'm not paying for a book that I didn't lose." (the charge is $168). I wonder if she expected me to offer paying for the book? Whatever. It's one of those awkward situations where I'm trying to be really pleasant because I know that I want the outcome to be that I don't have to pay anything (and I won't agree to anything else), but I have to make sure I stay on her good side and not get all witchy, when I really want to just scream in frustration because it is such a waste of time dealing with this every week and having to get special permission to check books out etc.

Other than that, I'm sitting here trying to do questions for a course where I am a teaching assistant, and of course, I can't get the right answers. I always feel lame when I can't even do the questions...some TA I am!

Tis all for now!

Well, I survived my day of filing. Of course I'm paying for it now. I'm not sure I could handle warming up my tush. lol. I'm not sure where I posted it, but I went sledding down a hill ONCE and DD and I went over this "bump". I believe "major air" is what DH said we had going on there. Well, after my tailbone reconnected to the ground I kind of figured it (hard to see when you close your eyes due to snow in your face).
Upside?? We might be getting a puppy. Not sure how our 4 yr old lab will handle it. We're talking about a little dog this time. So hopefully she'll be protective of it and treat it like a sibling (or better?)?
Downside? The scale is 2 pounds heavier today than it was saturday. So looks like I'm back on for the Valentine's day challenge. Going to wait til later this week to change my signature--maybe it was a fluke and it'll re-register what I want? lol
