Hi... I wrote a long post last night so nothing new to share.
I am babysitting today. I babysit every Monday thru March.
Does anyone chat anymore? If not... should we delete that off the greeting?
Maybe one person would want to commit to being there on Sunday and someone else on Wed? I don't know... it is up to you guys... I never did chat in the first place. LOL
2Cute: I would be at chat if it weren't at 2am my time!
As for Ebay, you can search by seller. I don't have anything for sale at the current time, but my pile of "stuff I don't need anymore but is too nice to give away" is getting pretty big, so I'll be listing soon LOL. I think I already mentioned that my seller name on Ebay is also Jehari.
Well, food has been so-so today. I have survived another 4 day weekend and the kids go back to school tomorrow. I have a "student of the month" ceremony to attend for my son tomorrow. I don't have much else to say. I'm a bit brain dead. There was this bright thing in the sky today. I believe you all call it "the sun" . It is so rarely seen here this time of year. I was so inspired that I took the kids to Frankfurt and we went Ice Skating at the outside arena. It was GORGEOUS out!! We were at it for a couple of hours. There's my exercise for today.
Yes, Texas weather is crazy. Saturday it was snowing big time and today I was tempted to put the top down on my car!
Went to the club and walked this morning, then went to water aerobics and the insutrctor told me not to get in because the temp was too cold and it would not be good for my arthritis, so I went to the Therapy pool that is supposed to be WARM water, but it was cold too. That insturctor said she was only going to do a 35 minute class instead of a 50 minute class because wh wanted to keep everyone moving the whole time and most of these women could not handle a full 50 minutes without breaks. This class is made up of mostly 60/70 year olds, and its a very laid back class. Needless to say, I was never able to get moving fast enough to ever warm up, and now I'm already feeling it in my hips! Maybe the pools will be back to normal tomorrow.
That's all I have to say, nothing but work around here. Tonight after work I'm going to get my hair color redone. It's way past time!
Hey Chickies!
Stopping in for a quickie post - my tired bod needs to rest on the couch for a bit. I just finished up the painting in my bathroom and got things put back together. No I need to go shopping for new towels and whatnot. I am happy with how it turned out.
Hubby abandoned me for most of the day again. Which is really okay, because if truth be told I don't let him paint with me. He's not great with a brush. He has been off exploring a new hobby he wants to take up --- wood working. Not really sure what he has in mind other than he wants to make a chest for the foot of the bed. We'll see if it ever happens.
We are going out for a burger tonight. I've worked hard this weekend and am looking forward to it!
I'll catch you guys later!!! Oh - I use to chat, but I just haven't had the time lately to join in. Sorry.
Sorry to have missed sending birthday greetings Mary, I haven't been in here for awhile...H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y !!
I have been busy, baby sitting my grandkids a lot, and catching up on corrrespondence etc...Half heartedly looking for part time employment for a couple of days a week....
And no, who ever asked...love is not in the air..just an awfully strong LIKE
I have been doing better at staying OP...hope that continues...
I don't have time to write more this post...sorry....I don't write more often...take care one and all ......
I have tried to chat most Sunday nights, but I have never found anyone in the chat room.
I had another interesting phone call today. It was from the research center and seems like there are two weight loss studies going to be going on and the one I was called about first with the injectable drug,was postponed until now and in the meantime they called me for the other one. But since I've already qualified for this one, I am going to continue with it. I go Wed morning to meet with the dietitan for the first time.
Hi Everybody! Just a quickie before I go up and read a chapter of my latest book and then hit the hay!
I had a great day today! First thing, I went to WW for WI (not Wisconsin) and was DOWN 2 POUNDS!!! WooHoo! Now, you have to understand, this was a gift, but I'll take it anyway. You know, I probably shouldn't say that because since I don't journal, I can't really tell if I did well or not. Either way, I'll take it!
Second, I met Susie for lunch today. We got together to talk about a certain "trip" we're taking together. I had stopped at AAA and got all the maps and tour books, so we got together to catch up and talk about renting a car, etc. We're sooooo excited!!! (sorry, Susie, speaking for you here too. ) One thing we did discuss though was the clothing exchange. I think Pam's actually the one that had suggested it some time ago. Anyway, it will be helpful, a little closer to "trip time" to know what size everyone wears. No sense bringing stuff that won't fit anybody.
Then thirdly, I came home and sat on my A$$ and searched E-bay. I'm doing "research" for what kind of money certain things I have might sell for. I was amazed at some of things bringing sooooo MUCH and others bringing so little. Sorta funny. But anyway, now that I have my new digital camera, I need to pay for it.
Well, girls, I'm headed up for the night before I start to freeze again. My office is in the 1/2 under ground area of my house. I live in a quad. And I think it's the cement floor (but I do have carpet) and the fact that 1/2 way up the wall is cement, that I freeze when I stay in here too long. I thought old women were supposed to be hot????
Ok girls a little run down of my trip.
I left Wed. morning at 6:15 in a drizzly rain . I got to Natchez about 9:15 made good time despite the rain.
The first session was at 1:00 I finally got checked in the hotel it was beautiful. I was taken out to lunch by a lady I met at the last seminar last month. Wed night still raining, there was a coctail reception at the hotel.
Thurs still raining and cold. we had sessions all day. went to lunch a a neat place called Mammys cuppard(sp) it is shapped like Aunt Jemmima. Food was great. The man who drove us to the resturant lives in Natchez part time and gave us a mini tour.
Fri still raining and cold. Sessions all day. Ate breakfast and lunch at a small place across from the hotel very homey. Fri night there was a Mardi Gras parade but I didn't watch it. STILL RAINING. there was a Coctail buffet at one of the Anti-Bellum Mansions it was great too much food which I ate and drank a little too much (just 2 wines but too much)
Sat. Still Raining and cold Sessions tll lunch. We had lunch at the Carriage House(resturant on the grounds of the Mansion we went to last night) great food. Sat afternoon I walked to a local bookstore that was having a book signing, and did a little shopping. Sat night there was a final Coctail Buffet at another Mansion but some how the bus didn't come pick us u so we had to caravan in cars. It was soso. The bus did come and pick some of us up.
Sunday morning I drove home to a wonderful husband ( As they say absence does make the heart grow fonder ) and son.
All in all I enjoyed the trip despite the Rain. I ate too much but I will start over. I have to go back to work today and it is my late night.
Not much to yack about this morning. I've done my "general conditioning" exercises this morning. We had about 2 inches of snow last night. We still have a lot of the 12 inches we got a few weeks ago. Our house faces the north so the front is not melting well at all. This snow last night was quite a surprise - it is supposed to be almost 60 on Wednesday.
I got my nails done last night. A lovely shade of fuscia. I came home, changed into my moo cow pajamas and slippers then proceeded to sit on my butt the rest of the evening.
Okay, this is gross but I have to go now. The dog has just passed the most disgusting gas right at my feet. GAWD!
I got up a little early this morning and I had the choice of getting on the computer or doing housework before time to leave for the health club.
Guess Which one I Chose?
Thin congrats on the loss. About the clothing sizes, I've been thinking the exact same thing. I'd hate to bring a load of stuff, just to have to lug it all back home with me.
Terri I love getting my nails done, and really enjoy chaning the colors every time. Last night I went to get my hair colored, and I guess I should be saying the same thing about my hair!! I went to the same girl that did it last time, but it turned out a completley different color this time.
MaryGlad you had a great time, sounds like you had a lot of neat places to see. Since I'm a fairly newbie, I'm not sure what you do. What Kind of "Session" did you attend? Real Estate, Belly Dancing?? Inquiring minds want to know.
Well, I think I'll get to the health club early and blow my trainers mind. I usually just get there just under the wire.
Just saying hello before I walk out the door. I am heading for OKC to see my daughters wedding dress. Just wanted you to know why I am not heree today.
I am excited
CONGRATS thin on the loss. 2 lbs. is 2 lbs.
mary despite the rain and cold the trip still sounded great. glad you had a good time.
good morning terri, barb, and 2 cute hope you all have a great day.
