SUE...I get that way a few days before Christmas and wish it was over. Funny 'cause once it's over I am fine...it has been that way for many years now. Glad you guys had a nice Christmas.
JULES...so glad that no one was hurt. That is why I hate driving in the snow/ice. I don't worry about myself and my driving but the other idiots on the road. I swear no one slows down and it scares me. Around here if the tow truck companies aren't busy they drive around looking for cars to tow. The dessert sounds yummy...sounds like something for the next Sunday dinner...tired of the same old stuff.
FRANCIE...sounds like a plan to me! I have to do something, I've gotten so lazy.
SASSY...glad you and your family had a nice Christmas. Ours was fine, both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. A guitar eh? Sounds fun!
Hello to everyone else wherever you are
I got the tree down yesterday. Was going to leave it up until New Years but hubby is home for yet another week and what better time to paint, lol. I have been wanting to do something different in the living room and so far I LOVE IT! Kind of a cinnamon color. I thought it might be too much or maybe too dark but it's not, not so far...not finished yet. Was going to change to wood blinds but thinking now they may be too dark so will keep the white but I definitely need some valances or something...going simple. I am ready for the New Year and what better way to start it than with a whole new look in the house. Would love to paint the outside, oh well, that will be for another day. Of course you can't paint in the winter I know this. Anyway...and I am ready to start with my plan and getting back on track with the exercise/weightloss.
If 160 doesn't scare me I am in trouble. Went to the basement and dug out a size 8 jean ( I was in a 6). Need to get seriousand stop the hoilday feast!
How is everybody???? I am feeling really nauseous for some reason. I think I need a new body cuz this one is falling apart. I dunno. I've been getting lots of headaches lately I dunno if its cuz I need new glasses or what. Have to go get checked out I guess. lol.
Cristina -- Yup. I've been wanting a Bass Guitar. Its HUGE! But I think its cool. Something else for me to do besides sit on my butt, eat and watch tv! lol.
So what do girls have planned for 2010?? Or shall I say, what would you like to have happen for 2010?
I seriously want to be a better me all the way around. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
Hey also kinda off topic but since this is a weightloss forum, have you all seen the commercial on tv for the boob exerciser? Its a stick that has resistance that you kinda squeeze together and then apart to firm your breasts? I was just wondering if that actually works??? Cuz I would definitely love to firm my "girls" up. Only from me, right ladies???!!! lmao.
But I seriously am tired of not having the body I want. I mean I don't want to be a Miss America or whatever, I just want to be a better me and less flabby! I think with me losing the weight I have already and by me not exercising, that has caused the flab! I want to not only lose weight, but to be firm or firmer. lol.
So what simple and the keyword here is simple here, lol, exercises can I do to um firm up my arms, breasts and behind? Those are my trouble spots. I think I will check out some stuff online and what not but figured I'd ask you ladies here too.
Also I need to give up Mt. Dew, AGAIN. I swear that stuff is so addicting! I try and try over and over again to quit it and nope I always go back to it! So frustrating esp when I completely gave it up for several months, maybe even a year almost and dang it once again I have the demon on my back! lol.
Good evening ladies. Well, my after the holiday blues and feeling bad was not all in my head. I have ended up with a UTI and had to go get meds. yesterday. Still not feeling too perky today, but have to feel better tomorrow...just have to. Groceries need to be picked up, house cleaned and food prepared for the card party Friday. Not to mention a basket of ironing..ugh.
Anyway, Susan I can certainly identify with you lately. No, not the yucky pickled beets, but......when I got on the scale at the Dr. office I thought my head was going to explode. That could NOT be right!!! Good grief! I have no bigger jeans, none, this is as big as they get, so STOP right there.
Yes, Francie, I am up for any kind of "plan" and am considering any and all options.
Sassy, Just giving up my soda is not going to be enough. (I only drink one or two a week) But I hope un-doing the Dew helps you. haha
Cristina, I would like to hear your plan also..although I know your plan includes lots of exercise...and I kinda fail in that area. I wish I had pushed for the exercise bike for Christmas...but I kept thinking I had no room for one.
Jules, Katy, Nice to hear that you had good holidays.
Where is Kathy?
Mindee..Hope the little ones get well soon.
I am hitting the bed early in hopes that I feel all perky and "housewifey" tomorrow. Darn meds. make me queasy, but I can get past that. *fingers crossed.*
Bleh to Mt Dew Sassy. lol I wish you luck on that one. It took me awhile to give up soda all together, now I love my coffee.
Sue- I hate watching the scale go up. Not sure what the heck I am doing wrong. Always been able to get it back down but not this time. See how it goes. I have to breathe though. lol
better get, Gaby and I have some chores to do before bedtime.
Well more crap at work. Basically nobody knows what the *h* is going on here. People getting moved and some aren't. Nobody is being told anything! Driving me crazy! All I want to know is: Do I still have a job or not???!!! Also word is by July of next year, our co. is selling so all of us who are left here will most likely be out of a job anyhow.
UGH I hate the not knowing! Is it too damn much to ask to just know if I am going to be employed or not????!!! I totally broke down before coming into work tonight. I couldn't help it. If they were to tell me, "you are being let go" at least I would know!!!!!!! I hate the not knowing and everyday coming in and wondering if I am going to have a job or not!!!!!!!!
I know lots and lots of people out there are going through the same thing or have already been through it. I am thankful to have a job until I don't have one anymore. But it still doesn't mean that it is not frustrating!
Anywho guess that is it from me. Sorry its not very "Sassy" today. lol. Can't help it. lol. Guess I just have to look at the positive. I've been wanting out of here for a while now. So if I get laid off, then maybe its a blessing.
Sassy- I say start putting out feelers for other employment. I know it is not a good times for that, but occasionally a good job might pop up. Keep all your options open. You have been wanting to change jobs. Good luck. My DD is facing the same thing, wondering if her boss is going to retire next year. She is interviewing and testing for a county job and if it comes through she will go, just to cover herself. Although she hates to leave the job she has, she has to be pro-active. She is single with a child to support. On the other hand I have a DGS here who can not find work.
Susan- I feel your pain. My scale just keeps moving up. This week it might go down due to this illness and feeling so bad. I hate to lose weight that way, but it is something. ha.. Mom loses 10 or 15 pounds every time she goes to the hospital...what a way to lose. No thank you...darn it.
Had to go to the grocery store and get supplies for Friday. DH told me that today is the day that I should cancel the party if I don't feel like having it. Truthfully, I am worn out from shopping. Takes so long to get your strength back after feeling sick. But I think I can get the housework and cooking done tomorrow if I rest today. The ironing will NOT get done until after the party. So what if DH has to appear naked...lol. (Entertainment for the guests, right?)
Mom is doing real well and sees the specialist the 5th about the blood disorder. That is another bridge to cross, but we are optimistic. She has been cleaning her bedroom and bathroom today and I had to laugh at her grumbling about cleaning out her "junk" drawer. She said "you should have seen all the junk in there." Yeah mom, that is why we call it a junk drawer. haha I have more than 1 of those that needs cleaned.
I hate my family!!!!!!!!!!! I really wish I had been born into a different family. One that doesn't pick and choose who they love. I just found out today that my cousin is getting married in March. Did anyone bother telling me? Nope, not until today. Apparently everyone has known for awhile. Then my other cousin (who is in the Army) is moving to Hawaii!!!!!!!! And my cousin was all.."we're saving up money to go visit." I mean okay..I get that he's her brother, but still. NOBODY except my mom visited me while I lived in Washington. They all said they'd visit, but never did. They were all excited about coming to visit too. Because WA is so pretty and they wanted to see the volcano and blah blah blah. Some even said they'd visit me in Maryland. To see the Naval Academy, and go to DC, etc. They never will come. And you know...I dont think I want them to visit. I dont ever want to see them again. I feel like my cousin Tommy. The messed up outsider. Nobody ever speaks his name because of what he's done. (And no..he didnt kill anyone, lol. He's just a drug user and has been in jail too many times to count) I really miss him..but whenever I ask about him..they just shake their heads and say "what a shame". Maybe they do that with me too. My family fully believes in tough love. He was always my fave cousin..so it figures I'd end up an outcast like him, even though I kinda made myself one. Maybe instead of trying to find my father, I should look for my cousin. Then we can compare notes on how much our family sucks!!!!!
Francie--Hugs sweetie....when it warms up in the spring I will meet you at a metro station in DC...we can hit the museums...Hope you fin you cousin, didn't know you were looking for your Dad. Me and my Dad have reconnected, he still can be an insensitive jerkface that speaks before he thinks how it will sound but I do love him.
Sue--hope all goes well with your Mom's appt...tell her I have a junk room she can work on....sorry about your infection. I am debating whether or not on getting my perscription refilled for the pills for my rosacea, the ointment alone doesn't do the job but the pills are $60 for 30 pill with insurance. Too funny about the not ironing....
Sassy--I would want to know too. I agree with Sue, start working on your resume and just looking to see what's out there. I have started on my cokes again too. I was good today, switching to tea and coffee, need to work the water back in.
Suzy--my pants are getting a little snug too....I guess I can't wear my pajama pants everywhere so I need to do something. New Years Eve will be my last hurray even though it's mainly veggies. I am going to jump start myself with my yearly cleanse and go from there. I am also definitely giving up coke and I can't even do diet coke or diet cherry dr pepper...it's like an alcoholic thinking he can drink near beer....I am going to have to suck it up...I do like coffee and tea....water is key, but it's just so hard to stick with.
Cristina--I would love to paint my living room but hubby is so boring and bull headed...it's calling for freezing rain after midnight and 1 to 3 inches of ice/snow/sleet crappy mix. Teri is a good driver, I just wish she would get it through her head that it's the other person you have to worry about especially when Dominic is in the car.
Hi to mindee, Katy and Kathy!! Hope you all all well.
Mom's actually doing suprisingly well after her treatment and the steroids to reduce the swelling. I know it's not going to last but I will take it as long as it does.
well, going to go out with hubby...he's whining I am ignoring him....
Well the news FINALLY came from our new OPs manager, who knows my Husband, said that he used to work with him? But as far as I know our OPs manager just got hired on not too long ago and my husband has been gone from this co. for almost 2 years now? Anywho.
The news is.............my coworker and myself are being moved to Dayshift. So losing our shift differential, my coworker is a single mom and really can't afford it, me, as you all know my husband works nights so yup I won't get to see him. So yup thats the news.
But at least I still have a job and because our supervisor (the weasel that I had last year) hates me, thats basically why I got screwed. But you know what? He is not going to break me. He thinks he may have, but nope, he's not gonna. I won't let him. I am gonna laugh and smile and have a good time! Screw him! And you know people who hate you hate it when you are all fun and nice and cheery to them! HA HA!
Jules~You're very sweet, and I would really like to do that. I have to warn you, I take a gazillion pictures, lol. Ya, I've been looking for my dad for 3 years now. I found a address for him and sent him a letter, but it came back. I did find something about him on Google. He married his longtime girlfriend. I dunno what I would say to him. He was one insenstive jerk to my mom. As for my cousin, I can only find his court records..I dunno where he lives now.
I bought The Flat Belly Diet book today. I'm going to read the whole thing before starting the diet though. For now, I'm just gonna stock up on healthy foods and dark chocolate, lol!! Going grocery shopping later today, and Safeway has those Eating Right foods. I ate them last time and actually lost weight beforw I got all lazy, lol!!
I hope you're all ready to join me on this NEW weight loss journey!!!! I gotta change my ticker, lol!! But I'll do that later, I'm on my iPhone now.
Okay..back to reading, then off to sleep. Goodnight!!
Ps..that guy is a LOSER!! He must be really unhappy with his life.
Sassy--well at least you got a job!! yeah to that!! The place I work isn't doiong the best but we are still muddling thorugh--managements decisions are not always the best at our place.
Francie--I haven't been to DC in a couple of years, would love to go back so I am in. Ty call the Washington Momument the big penis shaped object. He cracks me up. I have never gone to the top. When it gets closer to choosing a date I will get us tickets.
well, we got another 3 inches of snow...I know I was excited but I have had enough. I shoveled and swept and hubby is out on the tractor plowing again..... I have also made the bed, did a few dishes (I should have done last night), put a load of laundry in--ran the vaccum and now I am having my coffee....I'd like to run to the store today to get groceries and then I can stay home the rest of the weekend.
Jules~HAHAH!!! The Washington Monument does look like that. We were gonna go up it, but I was too chicken, lol. My friends said they went to the Pentagon mall or something. I would LOVE to go there, lol.
Hola Chickaritas!
I think I need a new body cuz this one is falling apart. 
I dunno. I've been getting lots of headaches lately I dunno if its cuz I need new glasses or what. Have to go get checked out I guess. lol.
Its HUGE! But I think its cool. Something else for me to do besides sit on my butt, eat and watch tv! lol. 
Argh!
