This is possibly the tackiest thing I've every done (maybe), but I'm cutting and pasting my post from last night. Humble apologies, but it probably took me at least 15 minutes to read and write, and maybe no one read it.
Jennie, I LOVE the crib set you've chosen! It's so pretty!
Mamacita, Happy Birthday to your baby! I wonder when they stop being "babies"? My eight year old still looks like a baby to me (sort of), and I'm affronted when people tell me he's growing.
Ruth, a Newfie! I may come out and join you some Sunday!! Hugs for you and Harry and the girls.
I know you're missing sweet Lucy.
Jodi, you don't have to apologise for whinging... we all do it at some time! I'm so glad you're doing well, girl!!
Lauren, enjoy your holidays, hon! Happy Happy Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipper!
Weezle, we know more about your bowels than anything else about you.
Skherb, congratulations on getting a walk in!!
I hope the rain has stopped.
Barb, I hope you got out there and exercised today!
Bamiegirl, I LOVE sausage rolls! Mom makes the most fantastic pastry...
She and Dad have been travelling every winter for the past 12 years or so, and last year was the first year in AGES that they were home for my birthday. Mom made me a big plate of them. I did share some. A few.
Peggy, I'm with you, girl. I am SO with you. Yesterday I made (early in the day) crepes for dinner. I ended up eating all eleven of them (with cream cheese and smoked oyster filling), and having to make something else for dinner.
Do you think we can possibly pull ourselves together for today?
Kvixen, I'm glad you're back on track! Keep it up!!
Jess, I love Bridget Jones, too! I can't even imagine what's going to happen in the new movie!
Laurie, don't get discouraged... ... you're building muscle!! It's heavy stuff, darlin'!
RNMom, you're a sweetheart. And you haven't even got your bracelet yet! (what happened to those things, anyhow!)
Wow, you're in a canning frenzy! I used to love doing that! I did a ton of it for several years, but then became incredibly lazy. I was just having some Pear-Lemon Marmalade this afternoon (no, it's not OP), and thinking it would be nice to make some. It's a small jar, and it cost 12 bucks! It might really impress people at Christmas time. I'm determined to make my gifts this year...
Oh, LaurieX, I am so very sorry...
What a load of burdens you're bearing right now. You're very wise to get some help.
Why don't you just do Phase II for now? Even Phase III would be healthy, and it would be easier for you at this time.
My DH and I will be saying lots of prayers for you and your family... love and hugs...
Little Chick, as usual you sound beautiful and completely organized. I want to be YOU!!
Sarah, I'm so glad the singing went well! I'll bet they loved you!
Kim... pre-teen underwear. shudder. You WILL get over it. My daughter now looks through my underwear drawer when she's short.
Hi, Yaya! Glad you're doing well!!
Essie, congratulations on the weight loss!
Jen, your company sounds cool! I hope it's a great success!
Me? I made the mistake of joining the South Beach Online site the other day. Realized it was a waste of time, and I've just cancelled it. I can't believe how little you get there! Everything you need is RIGHT HERE! (and it's free!) Anyhow, I thought it might give me a boost, but it didn't.
Otherwise, I am doing very well. My Mother is driving me RIGHT UP THE WALL, but I'm starting to get a grip on myself.
Ruth, if you "take her out", remember... I can't afford to pay you. (well, if it's clean and doesn't point to me in any way, I could slip you a twenty)
I was thinking how nice it would have been if I could have watched the hockey game last night with Dad.
Right now I am doing something TOTALLY weird and unlike me. I'm filling out contest entries online. Between yesterday and today, I've filled out about 100. I figure I'm good to win at least an even dozen. If I win something I don't like (a spa for two in the mountains?), I'll toss it, and you can all scramble.
Sending lots of prayers to those in the way of danger. Stay safe...
