Good morning ladies
Mom - hope you got all of the laundry done! What movie did you end up watching.
Pure -  Tell him if he doesn't cook dinner he's not eating! 
Taytay - Hiya! Welcome.
Hope - Uh - it's kind of about me. Sort of. My grandfather died of a really rare disease when I was in middle school. Miss diagnosed as Alzhimers. I lived with my grandparents so it was an interesting experience, to say the least. Especially for a 6th grader. So It's kind of about that, with a bunch of fictional drama to round it off and make it a wee bit less depressing... Sarcastic humor is apparently my specialty
Everyone else
It's rainy here. I miss the sun.

I had a good day. The scale was kind to me this morning and I have now lost 27.5 pounds! That is a little over 1/3 lost of my total goal and a friend pointing out here that it also is over 10% of my total body weight lost. That makes me feel really good and the next time I see my doctor I will getting blood tests. I am curious to see if my cholesterol, triglycerides and sugar have gone down.

Hydra, that is great news, congratulations. Looks like you will make your Halloween goal. 
Lost, 
Marbear, that sounds very interesting. You should try to get it published, that would be very cool especially since it's based on part of your life.
Purefire, how was the presentation?
Momof4, vermontmom, leenie-how was your day?
Buddly, where are you?
I was off today but slept most of it. Seems to be a trend. We played pool tonight but didn't do very well. I really have a boring life b/c nothing interesting to tell comes to mind. See you girls later.

good morning chicks!
hopeforme, hey, sometimes nothing to tell about is 'good' instead of stuff that isn't good
Lost, I am hoping that little child is okay!
Marbear, that is impressive you are writing a book!
Hydra, congrats on that impressive loss! I hope blood tests do show an improvement andmake you and doctor happy.
Purefire, sorry you had a crappy day. and hope your presentation went wel.
Momof4, hope you got your clothes tackled.
leenie, any word about the business being bought? any word if it will affect you, more importantly?
well I can't remember if I told you all or not, but DH got terminated, over the phone on Tuesday (not cool, in my book) So we are on economic 'damage control' because it might be weeks before he can start to collect unemployment benefits. Of course he is already searching for a new job (at age 51  ) but I am thankful for my winter job, and that I am physically able to get a part time job too.
hope everyone has a great day

VT Mom - Yeah, over the phone is not very cool. I went to alumni weekend this past weekend and found out my college has a new president. She apparently laid a bunch of people off, and told the newspaper before the people. So they got up in the morning and read the paper - only to find out they had lost thier jobs. Some people just don't have the tact to be in positions like that. I'm certain that your DH will find something else. I will keep my finges crossed for you.
Lost - I hope you're friends daughter is ok  keep us posted.
Hope - In my opinion, boring is good. I'm kind of boring now - and I LOVE it. Drama free is the way to be!
Hydra - Congrats on the loss
Leenie, Mom, Pure -
Everyone else - where ya be?!? Come back!
As noted in my not to hope - I'm boring right now. Not too much. My friend read something I wrote yesterday and told me I was a "master writer." I feel that she is making fun of me, though she swears she isn't. I really wish I could take compliments without assuming people are making fun of me. Though in this case, I swear she totally is.

hydra-that is awesome wish I could say that but i cant i suck at losing weight...LOL
hope-be thankful for your "boring" life....cause sometimes theres sooo much we cant handle it so be thankful...i really really stink at pool i dont even attempt to play it anymore...lol
Vermont-That is tough my dad is 54 and he was a manager for an airline and last year they pulled out of the terminal where he worked so he lost his job. He ended up helping my mom more with the foster kids they had and helped watch my kids if I needed sometime out. First time he did just sit around and watch tv!! But yeah he had a horse training job that she offered perm place thank God that it was there. So after his unemp. ran out he took that! You never know.
Nothing much going on other than the normal....lol...Trying to do some christmas shopping cause I want to look around and find stuff i wanted to get them and not just buy stuff that is cute and later wish I hadnt. Shopping for 5 kids is hard. We did a christmas club but I am thinking bout working for a month seasonal again??? Don't know yet my husband will probably say NO NO NO...cause with our schedules its very hard to work around them. Anyways im gonna go got some youth paper work to do!!

Thanks hope4me, vermontmom, marbear and momof4under5! I truly appreciate the encouragement. I really like celebrating these mini-goals. I plan to treat myself by using some beads I have to make myself a nice necklace this weekend.
hope4me - that is nice you played some pool.
vermontmom - sorry that happened to your hubby that is really s****y how they did that. Hang in there, you sound so positive and that will help you during this time.
momof4 - good luck with the christmas shopping!

Hi, there,
I'm new to the board and wanted to introduce myself. I'm turning 40 in a few weeks, my husband works overseas (bomb disposal) and is only home a few weeks a year so it's just me and the kids most of the time - boys 18 and 10. I have a career that I enjoy - and sometimes detest.
I've had clinical depression (very treatment resistant) for almost 20 years but (finally) I feel pretty stable...touch wood. Before my diagnosis (and after the year from **** ending up with moving to Canada - in FEBRUARY - I wondered how people lived here during the winter!) I just piled on the weight - 150lbs in a year. I've gone up and down ever since, and just need to start making the current mental stability (which is all relative, of course) help with the weight. I feel like such a blimp.
Marbear, I'm also writing a book - but mine's a thriller. Keep me posted on how yours is going. We budding writers need to support each other!
Ok - that's me. I hope to meet you all and chat and see if I can offer some support as I know I'll be on the receiving end of it. Rookie question - what is DH and DD? Saw them posted but don't know what they mean.
