Good morning all. I hope that those of you having a long weekend are enjoying themselves. With being at home this summer it doesn't seem like much of a difference to me. I've got one more week before I start school so I'll be back to a schedule that I can't control then. I managed to get a schedule that has only 4 days of classes through (Wed off) so that's kind of nice. I think it's really going to mess with my eating plan though as Monday has pretty much no breaks that seem long enough. Really it's just a half hour at 12pm and another 1/2 hour at 4pm. Other than that it's really pretty good, with only one early (8am) morning.

So I'm trying to enjoy my last week off, and the weather has been pretty nice since Saturday. I think by the end of the week it's supposed to rain and get cold, but considering the summer we've had that's no real surprise. Well, I think I'll head off and see about breakfast since I'm up earlier than I had planned. Take care all, and have a great day.

Good Morning!

Made 7 quarts of pickles last night. Would like to make 7 more. Will head off to the market Tues am. Now just waiting to see if I did it right and they seal. Moms instructions said to wait 24 hrs. Heard 4 pops last night. But went to bed and hope the other 3 did while I was asleep. If not I guess I repack and try again.

Catch up more later as we are headed out to help a friend move.

Good Morning everyone!
Well, it is POURING here today and windy as ole bugger so I take it Fall arrived along with Sept 1st. I think it is going to be a stay in the house and not get dressed type of day. I have to go out tonight to TOPS for a weigh in but other than that, I dont think we are going to do much.

Housewarming party went well yesterday. I ate a few things that I shouldnt have but overall I was a lot better than I could have been. Today is damage control.

Time to head back upstairs for breakfast. I think I will eat "light" things. :lol:

Oh ya inlaws behaved and Emily is loving her trip. But its alittle on the long side for a 5 yr old. And DH has to take the carpet cleaner out and detail the truck. After a summer of kids "visiting" and spilling he really needs to get 'er clean!

Hi everyone!

I'm a SAHM to 3 boys and have been lurking here for a few weeks. I started my weight loss journey on July 6th when I weighed in at 324. I look forward to getting to know all of you and keep motivated!

Last week, my oldest DS started school, so things were hectic on the diet front. I had to get used to the school schedule all over again! :dizzy: I think we are back in the swing of things now, so I'm hoping to make a little progress this week and get back on track!

Welcome Texscrapper! I am looking forward to school back again. Regular meals, time to exercise with no kiddie audience! Class starts in 23 hours!

Good Morning everyone,
I slept in a bit for a monday...so glad to have the day off. I have laundry to catch up and a little housework I didnt get done yesterday before church.
I am 6lbs up from my goal for today..but thats not to bad and as i have said before I dont let it get me down...in fact im using it to get me going!! I have been trying to get back to exercising and just cant seem to get with it. If i dont talk about exercising then :kickbutt: .

julia- glad your daughter had a great trip!!

anne- enjoy your last week before school starts.

:hug: to all

:welcome3: texscrapper we are so glad to have you with us!!

Just a quick :wave: to everyone!

I'm trying to enjoy the last of summer!

I know I've been sewing too much when I get a headache that won't go away. I used to get them after going to the big fabric store with my mom. It's something with the dust that accumulates on fabric, or something, and the fuzz that flies. Sleeping with a cough drop in my mouth, and vicks under my nose helps. I can't take decongestants because of my blood pressure. I'll take a real steamy shower today, and that should break the rest of it up. I think my sinuses were installed on a Tuesday after a long weekend, because they have been junk from the get go.

I've got all my stuff together for tomorrow. First day of school. Just orientation, but it will still be a long day. Longer in fact than my regular days will be. I got my coat/vest combo done just in time. It hit 0 degrees here last night. I'm not sure I'm even going to bother with the rain coat layer for the outside right now. Polartec 200 is pretty water resistant. We don't get a lot of liquid precipitation here anyway. I'm surprised by how thin/light weight this fabric is and yet so warm. I got hot just trying it on. Made the arm holes big enough to layer anything I want to under it. I just hope I'm not too excited to get to sleep early tonight.

Catherine - I loved the excitement of going back to school. I bet you don't sleep a wink.

catherine_ my 1st job at age 16 was in a fabric store. I use to always get a headache when we would get a new stock of fabric in. I had to quite that job because i spent all the money i made buying fabric...i bet my mom still has some I bought up all those years ago. Have an awesome 1st day at school.

morning all...

Catherine:funny you should talk about fabric...my friend and I are heading there right now lol

I am glad I have the day off..spending it doing what I want. I dont get to do that often.

I have a question about freezing stuff..will post with its own topic!

Have a great day all.

Hi Peepers,
Starting anew once again here. I've got my treadmill pulled out and in plain sight so I can't miss it anytime I come in here to make beads or get on the computer. I'm hoping I can stick with it since I've been gearing up for it for the last week.
For all of you heading back to school, have fun! I remember going to tech school for a surgical tech, and it was so fun just meeting people and learning again.

Anne, one more question about canning, can I freeze my blackberries til I get some more picked? What I got was only one basket full and I think I need more than that. Thanks in advance.

Annie, Happy Anniversary!!!

Well, better go get some stuff done.
toodles
