Howdy, everyone!
Just checking in before bed. You guys have really been busy, busy, busy, filling up the threads. That's good.
I was absolutely a lazy butt today! Had to finally get dressed at 5:00 this afternoon to run out in the cold and get my mom's mail for her.
I surely would have liked to stay in my bathrobe, I'll tell ya.
I did get pretty excited this afternoon. I won my first auction on E-bay and bought myself a digital camera. I've had a cheap, cheap one, but I've been eyeing this one around town and I think I got a pretty good deal.
Now I'll have a new camera for my little field trip to Oklahoma in April.
Heather: Glad to have you join us! We're always happy to welcome new friends. Grab a water, pull up the keyboard and post away. You'll feel right at home here in no time at all. * CONGRATS on the 31 pounds down. That's an excellent start!
Sandy: I'm sure tomorrow and Saturday will be rough days for all of you. You will all be in my prayers.
Barb: No, I haven't tried the Subway wraps. I get the turkey breast and ham with no cheese. * Too bad about having to go into work and then right back home. It would be different if you worked around the block, but you've got a commute from He!! just like my honey and that would not be a fun prospect at all.
Duckie: Those temps are something else. I'm so glad you got your furnace fixed. You'd have all been icicles by morning. * BTW, you didn't say anything, but did the DF go from Dear Friend to Dear Fiance at Christmas time? I think at one time you thought maybe it would since you were going to Newfoundland to meet the family.
Syn: Glad to see you back here. Thanks for posting that recipe. Looks good. You know I always make your other apple salad recipe and have posted it here dozens of times (well, several anyway
) for everyone. * Hope you're feeling back up to par in no time at all.
2cute: Sorry, but I still feel too stupid repeating those affirmations out loud. I guess just reading them several times a day will have to do.
Audrey: Good job on the trips to the gym. Sounds like you're really on your way.
Amanda: It really is heck to try and catch up after being away. * I'm glad that your hubby is being more supportive of you. That's always a plus. * Good job staying OP!
Barb: Good for you, making yourself some dinner before you went to the show. That was a much healthier choice than your "other half" made.
Michelle: Good for you on straightening out your attitude about WI (not Wisconsin) before it got out of hand. It was a LOSS. And a LOSS is a LOSS!!! * I'm sure that you made quite an impression showing up for that first interview amidst all the weather you were having. That and your competance should land you a new job!!!
Terri: Sorry about the backache. NO fun!!! * Not semi-retired come tomorrow! Vacation's over!
Joyce: I'm glad you enjoyed your burger. Every once in awhile, we have to indulge a little. Isn't it nice that we can do that and still be within "program". *What all did you put in that smoothie??? How 'bout posting it on the recipe thread???
Katrina: I hope you are blessed with a GREAT WI (not Wisconsin) in the morning. I'm sure that your 6, well 7 by then, days OP will have paid off BIG time for you.
Jen: "I've found myself plotting a way to eat my sweets........You suppose that's a non-productive line of thinking??? "
Don't know if it's "non-productive" or not, but it's how I think!!!!
On the subject of posts per page, you can go on top and click on the "user cp" and then go down the right side of the page and click on "edit options" and if you scroll down a good ways, you'll see about showing how many posts per page. I set mine on the max, which is 40. We usually change threads at 30 or so, and then you'll never have a second page.
Susie: I am soooo proud of you!
13 days OP!!! WOW, that must feel absolutely wonderful!!! Keep it up and I know someone who will be smiling BIG
on Saturday!!!
Joanne/Homebound: Why dust thou lurk so much??? You need to be in here posting. [[[hugs]]] I didn't know that OA has online meetings. Ummmm. Very interesting.
Tina: There you are, girlfriend. How did WW go? Are you doing better now that that WI (not Wisconsin) is over? *Two weeks til racing season. Are you ready??? Can't wait to see some
orange hanging out around here.
Pat: We're thankful that you joined us too. * My goodness, -31. I guess Duckie isn't the only one with falling temps.
Lucky: How bout you? You must be in frigid temps too, I would guess. You must be out shoveling. You haven't been here in awhile. Dig yourself out of that snowbank and let us know you're ok.
Barbg: Glad you had a nice night out. Please tell, where did you go, what did you do? Inquiring minds want to know. Was a "big and tasty" involved???
Just kidding, I don't really want to know about THAT!!!
Well, girls, it is well after 1:00 AM here and I'm about ready to go read a chapter in my latest book and then head off to bed.
I hope you all have a great night/morning. Not sure when I'll get a chance to peek in tomorrow. I have 4 jobs to do in the afternoon. I want to go to the Chiro in the morning after I shower. And then I want to take "the baby's" old car to the car wash. We're supposed to be meeting it's buyer after work tomorrow. Want it to look all purdy!!!
I have a very busy day, so if you don't see me, you'll know what I'm out and about doing. Love
ya bunches.
Love you all 
Hello Fellow Weight Losers!
: So here I am. 
I don't think of my weight goal as far off, because I'll be reaping the benefits the whole way there. 
(I live in the middle of nowhere.) 
Stay warm on all your jobs today.
I didn't even have the chance to copy and paste - the darn thing just froze up! Maybe the weather is affecting the computer! 
- but here is what I did --- I packed a bottle of water in my purse along with a brown lunch bag. Hubby bought a big ole tub of popcorn --- I took the brown bag, tore the top 1/2 off and just had hubby fill up my little bag. That's all I let myself have! I thought it was a pretty good strategy. 
Here is to a new me in 2004!!!
