30 Something Mon Chat: Oct 8th
 

morning all,

Joan i was laughing so hard at your comment "pulling a GG". Hmmm am i that much of an alcy...lmoa...but i'm glad you had some good wine. And at least your posts didn't look bad, like mine do LOL

hannah...hang in there its prob related to the fibromayalgia...although i don't know much about it.

ll - glad you had a good weekend. Did you get your exercise during the wedding. Up, down, up, down, kneel lmao. trust me...i grew up catholic...hated going to catholic weedings..they were sooooooooo long.

michelle- happy b-day

alright i really should get ready for work. I wish i had another da off. IT would be nice. But at least i have all this weekend off.

Mornin'! :coffee: :wave:

Good morning everyone. Not a lot going on here today except mountains of laundry. I have to take my car in to get an estimate to fix the damage I did in the parking lot two weeks ago. I got one from the dealer last week, $1900.00 :yikes: ! I just scrubbed the bathroom and for some reason I never had cleaned the outside of the vanity beside the toilet. Oh my word!! Yikes. I won't be forgetting about that again. I'm not the world's worst housekeeper but there are some places I just never think to clean.

GG: Glad that you are off this weekend. Hope you get to do something relaxing.

Lauren: Morning!

Michelle: Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had an enjoyable time with the kids.

Hanna: Sorry to hear that you have been feeling so tired. I hope you can get the meds regulated and feel better soon. Sounds like you had a great shopping trip.

Lisa: Great job on the eating over the weekend.

OK, gotta go get directions to the body shop. Have a great Monday! :wave:

Monday Morning Greetings...

GG ~ Glad that you laughed;-). I certainly don't think that you're a lush. Getting a little bit tipsy now and then lightens life up a bit.

Lauren ~ those are some seriously sweet deals on the appliances! Go ahead and gloat Girl!

KarenK ~ I had to laugh at your cleaning story. I think that I keep a clean house too but every now and then I'll come across something that is soooo gross. From then on it's glaringly obvious. $1900 sounds expensive. Do you have to pay the full amount or just your deductible?

Michelle ~ Happy (belated) Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back on track today. I had a great weekend and the scale showed it this morning. Hope that everyone has a great week ~ Joan

GG, as a matter of fact, yes it was alot of up, down, up down. I didn't kneel however. I also didn't like how they "preached" against abortion in the mass. I for one am against it, but I don't think it should be preached in this context.

Michelle, happy belated birthday to you.

:wave: morning to the rest of you,

Lisa

Lisa ~ Abortion was talked about during a wedding Mass? That is so inappropriate. Not to mention weird. I was born and raised Catholic but these days I'm a disillusioned, lapsed one...

Morning everybody! I have tons of housework to do today. I have been sick with a head cold all weekend. Still not feeling the best today. But I have to get my house under control. I did really good with my eating this weekend. It helped that I had no appetite and even when I ate nothing tasted good. Well, I better get started. Hope everybody has a good day!

mornin
 

Good morning.... Lots to do today.... mostly getting it together.. personally (weight) and professionally (self employed and not doing very well)

Time to recommit to being who i want to be rather than who i have become.

Welcome all newbies to 30 something's !! Looking forward to getting to know you...

Hey--since you're going to welcome the newbies, I figure that's my cue to speak up. Here's the start of week 2 of my membership here. I was down a few last week- but this morning, it was only 2 or so, but, hey---it's the right direction. My plan for the day is lotsa housework, and my plan for the week is 3 hours on the treadmill, and watching what I put in my mouth.
Teeny tiny Baby steps---gotta sneak up on the skinny me--she's shy........

Joan, I am not Catholic ~ I have been to a few weddings though. I don't ever recall that being mentioned. Of course it has been a few years since the last one.

lisa

LOL at momca thats cute
well im at work did BAD this weekend i feel a head cold coming and i made my daughter lock up all the Alcohol this morning NO MORE DRINKING during the week wish me luck and please pray for me im seriousi have been drinking everyday for the past year and a half so im gonna need help
((HUGS))
Michelle

I'm back.

Michelle, Happy belated birthday! :woo: Geez, it sounds like you entertained your family, instead of them entertaining you on your bday! Hang in there girl, I hope your kids are being supportive with the drinking. Have you ever gone to an AA meeting? Would you consider it?

Lisa, My BIL's wedding in CA was a Catholic Mass, but there was no inappropriate talk. It was nice, but I don't do kneeling, just sit/stand...which gets very old after awhile! :lol:

Momica, :welcome2:

G.I.T, :welcome2:

godsgirltmm, Hope you're feeling better!

Karen, Oh I just read about your day yesterday and I'm soo jealous! I'll have to remember for next year! What on earth did you do to that poor car now?! Didn't you bust out the back window not that long ago?

So far, so good today. I had a banana for breakfast with my coffee, ran out of time to make oatmeal! Had a chef's salad (the kind you buy premade, it's small, 320 cals), and a broc/ch baked potato from Wendy's for lunch. I'm starving right now though. Think I better eat my apple before I hit the candy jar! :o

Hi all I'm back home had a wonderful weekend with my mom. Bush gardens was fun but on Sat's they are at full capacity 30,000 some odd people. so if you go on sat go early. Tho the haunted stuff doesn't start till 6pm

Now a need a week to recover from my weekend :)

Hey all..

Sounds like everyone had a super weekend.
Happy late birthday Michelle! Hope you are feeling better!
Happy anniversary Joan (it was you that mentioned that, right?)

Took my DD to her preschool pumpkin patch hayride today. This is the fourth time I've done this one...my son did it twice when he was in school there. This was the LAST time though. It was very cute. They give the kids a tour of the farm and explain how they grow things, clean the apples, how the bees pollenate the flowers, etc. The really cute part is when "Farmer Bob" dresses up one of the kids like a butterfly & says how they don't like butterflies on the farm because they lay eggs which become caterpillars, and the caterpillars eat all the crops. Five mins. later the most beautiful butterfly flew by. The kids were hysterical. "AAHHH, a butterfly!!! OH NO!!" Completely funny!!

Anyway, then we went to Children's Place & got some Awesome deals on shoes, jeans, skirts, everything. I love that when that happens!!

Well, my DH & DS will be home soon, I better get the kitchen cleaned up & start getting dinner ready to cook. HOpe you all have a wonderful night.

BTW>>>>> does anyone watch Dancing Wtih the Stars?? That Helio is the cutest thing...

Pam :)

Welcome to all the newbies!

Michelle, Happy Belated birthday.

Joan, did you have a nice anniversary?

John, did you go to the Beach? I grew up in the Norfolk/VA Beach area. You said your mom lives in Williamsburg...is that where you grew up?

Pam, I try to watch DWTS, but what happens is I try multitasking and only catch bits and pieces. As of yet, I don't have a favorite.

Didn't do well with the calorie counting. Wound up going to Pizza Hut for dinner. Haven't been there in years. Even ate my pizza with a fork and knife like I did when I was a kid. Had 2 slices and have no idea the amount of the calories. I missed lunch though.

DH got offered 2 positions. Carlotte, NC and Vegas. If he takes Vegas the kids and I won't go. I told him if we don't go he will have to move us to another house. The one we live in now has many problems and its rent to own so the owner won't fix any thing. I feel as though I am at a crossroads.

Gotta go, wish me better luck tomorrow on counting the calories.

Alicia

Evening Ladies and Gentleman,
I have been busy here the last couple of days. So that is why I have not posted. Friday after school, dh and I went out with friends for dinner and then drinks didn't get home until 1:30 in the morning. Saturday had a birthday party and a demolation derby to go to. Sunday we thought we were going to this huge flea market an hour away from our house. But once we got there it was not happening that day. I read the calendar wrong and it was Friday and Saturday. Oh well, we stopped at another one on the way home. Then spent the evening with friends. Today I had an inservice at work all day. Came home to a depressed dh. His favorite uncle passed away this morning. Went out to dinner and then went grocery shopping. Came home put that stuff away and then worked on my Avon order. I am doing a craft show in Nov. so I had to come up with some gift baskets to sell so I needed to order that in this campigan. Fun, fun. Now I am playing on the computer before going to bed.
Michelle Happy Belated Birthday. Glad you had a nice day spending it with your kids. Hope you do well with drinking no alcohol during the week. Sending hugs and will power your way.
Joan Happy Anniversary! This year my dh and I will be married 4 years. It is hard to believe that it has been that long all ready. LOL
Lauren my dad, brother and sister are all volunteer firefighters for our hometown. That is so cool that your dh is one too. Glad he can be back on the fire dept. and not a social member anymore. I know that must have drove him crazy the last three years not being able to go on fire calls.
Karen sounds like you had a fun weekend at the Kidsfest. I know what you mean about cleaning and finding things you don't think to clean. I find those items at my house sometimes too.
Blue, sorry to hear that things are still going a little rough with the new job. Hopefully it will all even out soon for you. But atleast you are getting your workouts in at work. I know that once I start doing more jobs outside of my classroom with my kids than I will be doing a lot more walking around my building.
Hanna sorry to hear that you were not feeling well at the end of last week. Glad you were able to get a different dosage of your meds and that is helping. Hope you are taking it easy and not overdoing it this week. That was very sweet of your dh to come home and help you on Thursday.
Alicia I will say my prayers for your family during this time of your dh's job offer decision. When will he decide what job he wants to take. I really think you will be fine eating two pieces of pizza hut pizza. I don't think you are going to pack on pounds from just two pieces.
GG how was work today? Sounds like you had a really nice weekend. I have been trying to get my dh to go hiking with me at the one state park for a month now. But on the weekends we have been really busy. Hopefully before winter hits we can go a couple times.
Lisa,glad you had a nice weekend with your friends. That is an odd topic to bring up during a wedding. Hope you got your rest and are ready for the crazy holiday shopping season to come?
John glad you had a nice weekend away too. So are you ready to go back to work tomorrow? Hope your work week is not a hetic one for you like last week was.
Hi the newbies! You will love it here. There is a great bond of friendship and a lot of support offered here.
Hi to everyone else. Off to get ready for school tomorrow and think about going to bed. Chat with you all later.
Kerry

UGGGGH! Kerry, don't even remind me about the holiday season! I did kinda rest, but it just wasn't long enough. (Of course, it never is)

Joan, forgot to wish you a happy anniversary! Hope you have a "blast"

:wave: to everyone else. I am off to bed.

Lisa

hey to everyone..i'll catch up later
