Intrinsicat, I have heard of them. And my country station plays them over and over. (Hillbillies) Have fun. I'm sure your daughter will really enjoy it.

I have a long day ahead of me so I am going to get ready.

Good Morning Everyone

Hope everyone is well.
Question for you? Can anyone suggest a good multi-vitamin? I looked at them at the grocery store the other night, what a joke. There are hundreds, how do you pick? Any thoughts?

Angel---I personally like the One a day Weight Smart---
Yep---too many to even read all the labels!!

Angel--- I like Centrum Chewables. They are Orange flavored and pretty good.

I bought the OAD Weight Smart ones and they made me feel sick to my stomach. I guess it was whatever was in them that made them "weight smart" (can't remember now), because when I stopped taking them, I felt better. My mom works for a Dr. that recommends Centrum to his patients. I think they all have pretty much the same ingredients.

What are paczkis??

Having a bit of a busy week here. The girl I was covering for came back today, so I'm in limbo til Monday when I officially start covering for the next one...as long as there's preggo's (and it's not me!), I guess I have a job!

Have a good one all!

PS...Karen, does DH ever commute to North Jersey? If so, what's his commute like? DH & I are trying to expand our search area for homes, and trying to figure out how far we're willing to commute.

A paczkis is a deep fried pastry similar to a jelly filled doughnut. It has a ridulous amount of calories. A lot more than your normal doughnut.

Yep Angel...they are truely evil! It is a Lent thing. You are supposed to fast during Lent (the 40 days before Easter), so the Catholics had to use up all their sugar and lard. So they made Paczkis on Fat Tuesday (the day before Lent starts) to get rid of it all. The authentic ones have about 600 calories in one. They are very dense and heavy. A lot of the commercial bakeries and grocery stores make them but they are just basically a jelly roll. Trust me, you don't want to run into one!!

Where I live we are not to far from the part of town called the polish village. It's obviously where the polish primarily lived and some of the olders still do. There is a bakery there that sells authentic paczkis. They are sooo good but I resisted!!

[lppennington]

Molly you think you had it bad, Lourdes is full of Polish Nuns and students. Everyone was offering them.

Lauren, they are pronounced Poonch-skis. Don't ask me how they get that. I guess they come from the polish catholics.

I have some good news ladies. I took out a layaway and when I got home, I tried on the skirt and it was too big. I have to go exchange it tommorrow.

Well wouldn't you know it next week is spring break and it feels like I am coming down with a sinus infection. I am going to take Benadyl and see if I cant knock it out. I have to go to bed now. I keep having to correct my typing. Later.

Good morning! What a week - I just want it to be over. LOL

Well, I figure that I have (hopefully) guaranteed myself some weight loss this month - I gave up snacking after dinner for Lent. LOL Truly a sacrifice for me, as that is my weakest point in the day.

Anyway - just wanted to pop on and say hi! I'm off to exercise, shower, and my 3 yr. old is begging to play Candyland. LOL So off I go - have a great day everyone!

[mamabear272]

Lisa, You're right! You had it harder than me! I can very easily not go down LaGrange St. You kind of have to go to school!! I hope you were able to have strength! Great news on the skirt!! WTG. I had the same thing last night...I bought a nightie a while back and when I tried it on it was really snug. I ran across it last night and tried it on and it was still snug but just barely! I was so excited!! Great feeling isn't it Lisa? I'm so used to things being too small so when they're too big I get all happy.

Jenn, I know what you mean about snacking after dinner. I have stuff within my points but I still need the snack. I usually have a No Pudge brownie or a small bag of FF popcorn. I am giving up chocolate for Lent...not gonna be easy but that's the point right?

I so did not want to work out yesterday. AF is here and I really didn't feel great. I was all crampy but I worked out on the elliptical and I felt really good after I did it.

Well I'm off to the shower. WW meeting this am. Hoping for good news...

Take care all.

Molly
