tdream: Great job on not eating while doing the candy bags. You go girl!!! I am good if I cook it but let me roam or eat out and well all bets are off thank goodness I am learing to be better.

707 goddess: Sorry I didn't get back to you on the LOL my oldest son thinks all adults are cool except his parents. I guess the LOL is on him.{laugh out loud}. Great job on the weight loss! Keep it up!

This blizzard is making me want to make all fat foods. So far temptation has not taken over, I put mediteranian chicken in the crockpot for dinner.

have a great day everyone!

....I know, you thought it was just an idle threat that I'd be back...but yet, I'm coming through on my promise!!! :D :D :D

Kerri: Hey there! I forgot to tell you that I have had to pay the past three years! It's just plain rotten! I've also done the Installment Agreement each time too. They are usually really good at accepting them if they are reasonable. You will need to send like a "down payment." The only downside is, this year they are charging over a hundred dollars to allow us to pay monthly. That amount is cut down if you allow them to do a direct withdrawal from your checking account. I got nailed on having to pay because I didn't realize I never changed my exemptions from a job I had three years ago where I was paid a lot less. So, I have decreased exemptions and will decrease again in another few months. This way I don't have to be losing a big chunk of income all at once. Long story short, I really feel for ya!!!

Hanna: Oh my gosh-I totally forgot to give you your :hug: for today too. Thank you so much for opening up and sharing with us what you are going through. Wow. I just want you to know-what a wonderful gift you are to Sean. I mean, what better present to be in a family with so much love to face these challenges head on! There are sooo many options w/a bipolar diagnosis and I just know that everything is going to be fabulous when everything gets figured out! I think I remember you mentioning Sean going to the Boys & Girls Club-that is fabulous! Does he do well & enjoy it there? Sorry, I know I'm being nosey! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Hello all....right now I am waiting for the hair dye to do its thing. I just hope I won't look like a freak. i usually have it done at a salon, but I cant afford that now. The only other time I've done it at home, I looked like :carrot: and had to call my mommy at 11pm to help me. What a wussy.:D

Melinda - At least someone has been in this same boat. You're right. It really sucks. But I'll do the monthy thing until my house sells this year (I hope). Then I'll just pay it off with the house money. Thanks for sharing with me.

Lauren - get better soon. I'll send some anti-buggies your way:getwell:

Tina - your DD is in my thoughts today. I would have given my left arm to be a cheerleader, but I am the most uncoordinated person ever. I hope she gets on the squad!!!:cheer2:

Gottolose - good job on the water. I'm trying to up the water intake, but I have to pee every 5 minutes. Not good at my job.

GG - I guess the emergency was payback for the easy afternoon!!:joker: Well, I hope today left you some time for that nap you deserve. I really admire vets. I know how hard that schooling is and to be able to love ALL animals is very special. Plus, vets are always sooo much nicer to us pharmacists:)

Sheila - Hope the inspection goes well today.

DJ - sorrry about DD and DH. Maybe he has PMS?;)

Happy2be - Just one day at a time, huh? I wish I had a magic wand to make it better for you. Your Sean is a lucky boy to have such love in his life.


Michelle - WOOHOOO to you for your loss!!! Keep it up. Broken ribs can't keep us down!!!!:congrat:

Sorry to the people I missed, but the hair timer went off. I need to go wash this off before my head bursts into flames

Kerri

Well, hot tamales and a pancake I don't know how I missed it!!!!


GG: :yay: :yay: :yay: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :smug: :smug: :smug: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :jig: :cb: :cb: :cb: :cb: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

newfannie- we LOVE pharmacist...they make our life easier;)

so i didn't really get my nap..oh well..but i found energy this afternoon to make a huge amount of homemade tabouli...yummm so now i'll have some stuff for lunch.
Then i took a 15 min stroll with the mutt...gorgeous here...78 plus...then i spent 3 glorious hours out at the barn. I had a great hour ride and my ponyboy did so wonderful. Then i gave him his first bath of the summer....he's disgusting from all the sweat and dirt from the winter...and did a bit of spring cleaning of my tack, truck, and tools. So i had a beautiful day off....loving the weather (sorry if i'm rubbing it in...but really its beautiful down here.) in 20 min me and my gf are going for a walk..too pretty to work out in doors...and then dinner....i have a beautiful grouper filet that i marinaded in a black bean/mango salsa....yum yum. See eating heathly CAN be tasty. Alright guys...going to run...see ya later!

GG - sounds like you had a superb day!!! Is it a big twitch or small??:lol:

Thanks ladies your the best :hug:

Hello all, and :welcome3: to all the newbies! I don't remember who said it, but post to your hearts content. We are here for support and friendship.

MJ, I am here, I am here. I thought that today was the day my G'pa needed to go to the VA hospital in Lima, OH. [It is about a 1/2 hr south of Findlay (which is 1 hr south of me)] But alas, I had a blonde moment ~ it's tommorrow. Which means another trip down there.
So instead I visited my other G'ma in the hospital. She had a deviated rectum and had surgery on monday to remove the deviated part. I had the joy of helping her put a pad on her undies and while helping her back into bed, she let a stinker in my face. (That was fun!!)

Congrats to all who lost weight this week.

Lauren, feel better hun.

GG, sorry about being called into work last night. Sounds like you had a great day today. We might have gotten to 50.

:wave: to everyone else.

Lisa
