mo ....woohooo you got smooched...that rocks. You never know,...your trophy material...and even if you don't feel that way..sometimes people grow up and realize the absolute perfect people are not out there...so maybe he's come to realize...youre perfect for him...woooohoo..
personal trainer just called and i agreed to reschedule from this evening tothis after noon...so off to the gym i go...bye all

Lisa to be honest I am tired just from thinking about it! LOL.

Michael is making the turkey in the BBQ, fresh carnbery sauce. I am doing the mash potatos w/garlic and apples (they are really good), the sweet potatos, green beans, deserts, on and on and on, he thinks he is helping a ton, I will let him believe that, he is a good guy!

BLECH!!! It's SNOWING! :mad: Lisa-is it snowing by you right now too? BLECH! Lauren, I'm blaming you! LOL Yes, because of your snowy ticker!!! :o GG-ya know, Mike is a good guy and has been through a lot of "trophy" women who have walked all over him...so maybe ur right, maybe he has finally grown up. I wish Steve would be ready to commit...I think my heart is still with him...but 2 hours distance between us in the dating phase is not working out well. Nanner-GOOD that he's doin' the turkey @ least! LOL Apples...what, in the taters? Interesting....

I NEED COFFEE....my coworker and I are chugging water for a total of 8 seconds every 1/2 hour to start getting rid of our bloat issues. LOL It worked last time like 2 days ago and I felt great....though on a full stomach after lunch is almost like pure torture....

Yes, I am a nut!!!

lol @Lisa about MO...that was too funny!!! Good for you, mo...don't settle for any less than you're worth baby!!! (Is he rich?? Maybe you can get those "enhancements" you want!!! I'd be so jealous...)

Hanna...I think you will have so much fun....you seem like the type to be really good at entertaining and making people feel comfortable!

Lauren...no worries, it will probably be off tomorrow or the next day. This happens sometimes when we weigh ourselves daily, esp. with a digital scale...I know because I sometimes do the same thing!!

Lobacal...welcome again!!! I just joined a month ago, so I'm pretty new too, but everyone super nice!!! Sounds like you have good, realistic, healthy goals set for yourself...good luck!!

Lisa..fingers crossed for your interview. Would that mean jeans & tennies EVERY DAY??? Woo-hoo!!

GG...fantastic!!! HOpe you love the gym!! My husband used to go to Bally's when we met. He really liked it, but when we had kids had to cut back $, so he bought a weight bench w/ lat bar & leg extension. So he still gets a decent workout, definitely more fun with all the machines you'll have though!!! And a POOL!!!!! OMG, that would be awesome!!

So happy about Borders...picked out several christmas presents for family members, I just didn't have any cash on me (darn it) and am trying not to use the credit card much. But DD had so much fun looking at books. Oh, and they have comics, too, so DH won't have to drive 1/2 hr. to get DS the spiderman comics he loves!!!

Alicia...glad to hear about Abby...what is your deadline for the move again??

Hope everyone else is good...have a super evening!!!

Pam

Hey there, ladies! I just joined today so it will take me a little while to get familiar with the names.

Mo - congrats on the smooches!

Mo, can't speak for anyone else, but I love your "phreakyness" LOL. Like I told you, you add great energy to the 30 somethings! You are definately a good nut! Lol

Pam, I have to drive an hour for some serious shopping, can't imagine being that close to all that stuff.

Joan, was wondering about DS? Almost done with the Accutane?

GG, enjoy the gym, it sounds like alot of fun.

Hanna, it all sounds yummy!!!! I am wondering too about apples in the mashed taters.

When I left work, it was freezing rain and snow, then I got home and the sun was shining. Looks like it may rain again. Gonna fix some Chili for dinner. I have been craving it. Both the kids are at friends houses. I guess I should take advantage and do something productive. I did exercise for about 10mins this am. Not much but better than nothing.

Talk later,
Alicia

WOW! It's going to look like I paid ya'all to shower me with love! ;-) Checks are in the mail!!! :D

Truth be told, I do tend to cross some boundaries that I shouldn't here w/my bluntness! :D I think often times some of us may share things on 30 Somethings about our lives with language that may make others uncomfortable. Regardless, I am forever thankful (as we move toward the Thanksgiving Holiday) of the 3FC network of friends. It's so nice to be able to share freely w/o the worry of private retribution for bearing our souls. I know that I for one, need reminders that certain behaviours shared and certain conversations offered are really cries for help. Having 3FC as an outlet to vent knowing that noone passes judgment privately or outwardly may one day prove to be a lifesaver. ;-)

Getitoffme: :welcome2: sunshine! Ur in a good place!!! :carrot:

Have a fabulous night all! Hugs, MO

Pam, we were trying for the holidays (while kids were on break), maybe sooner. I am keeping my fingers crossed on one house, if that falls through then I am not sure.

hey guys...well i went to the gym...had an awesome workout with the personal trainer. She was awesome, we clicked and have similar personalities. I have 3 more free sessions. God i wish i could figure out how to come up with the $$$ for personal training. I think i could benefit from it. I may have to work a few extra days a month for a while. I'm not going to spend any more money this month. Last week, I had to pay for a conference i'm going to (i'll be reimbursed in mid jan by my company after wards, but i still have to pay it off this month...i don't keep a running balance on my credit card..hate paying interest). Then i joined the gym and i did have a shopping spree 2 wks ago...so my credit card will deffinately be a tad high...but i have the money in my savings. I'm so psyched. I've actually thought about getting up in the morning tomorrow to work out before works again before work. I can't wait...it really is a great gym...and i'm looking forward to using the pool soon (just have to find my bathing suit).

welcome getitoffme -come join the fun and zaniness we call home (:

alright guys...going to make some dinner.

Wow, what a difference a day makes! I came home to 2 pages of posts again and can't keep up!

Had to do grocery shopping tonight and it was a mad house. Tried the self checkout... never do that with a cart full of groceries!

I was looking at Walmart for an exercise DVD. Just a general workout.. none to be found! I found walk away the pounds, a more advanced tae bo, yoga and some area specific pilates. Nothing like what I was looking for - or that I think I'm looking for :dizzy:

Work was insane again today. I'm wishing for another weekend like last weekend but have parties scheduled and will be extremely busy. Luckily though - we are going home for Thanksgiving and will need the extra cash.

Have a great evening all!:wave:

Beachmomma, I got Denise Austin's Bootcamp workout video. It is really good. Probably about $10, GG suggested it. Some others do the Firm videos.

Hi everyone ~ quick fly in on my broom tonight;-). Haven't checked in for a few days as I've had a lot going on.

MO ~ Alias: HOT LIPS! Hope to hear more about this dude...

Alicia ~ thanks for asking about DS. He's doing ok right now. Unfortunately, he's outgrown his medicine and so we're in the process of switching to another kind. Medicine is wonderful and I'm grateful to have it. However, it can be such a royal headache... The Accutane is *finally* working. My skin has cleared up and looks really good right now. My doctor wants me to take it for one more month as a precaution. How is your skin doing these days? I remember your writing about how your doctor got after you for not wearing sunscreen. Do you have to wear it even in the winter months?

Sorry for not responding to each one individually tonight. I'm beat. I'm going to see my folks tomorrow and won't be home until late tomorrow night.
'Night all ~ Joan
