Phew! Just a few minutes between Curves (which I LOVE) and going to clean stalls at the barn...
Ammi, I'm not sure if they'd really enforce the "no food/drink brought in," but I think they make more $$ on the food than the movie ticket - it's at least frowned on.
Anyone that sees "Zorro", that horse is a Friesian. I thought the stunts were a little over the edge, but Antonio is so, um,
you know, and the horse got a bigger part this time, so it was still worth seeing.
Survived dinner with MIL & favorite niece last night. Actually had a pretty good time and managed to skirt around the answer to the "How much weight have you lost?" question. To bad dear niece made pasta as a "healthy" dinner - it was whole wheat/spinach pasta, but after that first serving I was hungrier than when I started, and when I came home I was STARVING (and yes,
indulged in some leftover pasta that came home with me.) There was also the matter of a small cupcake sized pumpkin cheesecake in a graham cracker crust for desert, but overall it wasn't as bad as it might have been. I'll just burn off some guilt doing stalls.
Keisha, hang in there cuz YOU are going to MAKE that goal - you took such a short time off the wagon, and you're kicking it now, right? RIGHT!
Jill, I never lived with anyone until I was 39. It has it's occasional
moments, but the
and the
and the
are all worth it. I wish you two lots & lots of happiness.
I really hate it when Bill stays up playing cards on the 'puter. He can't get online with that one, but he'll stay up all night playing solitaire when he's upset and internalizing. I hate not having him there, but especially because I know he's trying to handle everything himself and not talking, or he's just flat out depressed. That's the worst, when I don't know how to reach him. I'll have to go get a squirt gun. I used to shoot him with water and he'd either chase me around to get the gun and soak me back. But now, perhaps even if he gets mad, at least that would be better than the zombie state.
Dogpal, I LOVE Curves. The first 2 steps I took thru the door I knew I was in the right place. I go 3 days with a friend, and on Sat's I go by myself. Everybody's working in the same direction, regardless of current condition, and there's a real feeling of comradery - When anyone weighs and shares their progress, everybody is like
for them. ... My hubby is the oldest & the spitting image of his dad. His baby bro has always been clearly mama's favorite son. He can do NO wrong, Bill can do little right. She still radiates disapproval at me because I'm Bill's second wife, but little brother has been married
3 times, and his wife walks on water. You hit the nail on the head tho - she's a very unhappy woman, and one of the worst gossips you'll EVER meet. ...Thanks for the "flowers" about my horse. Yours was enormous! Must have been fun trying to get up on him. Very cool that your dad's had Mor-abs, too. You're going to ride again, right next to hubby! You just keep on doing whatchur doing!! One of the great things about the friesians is not only are they beautiful and classy, they are sweethearts - real "pocket ponies." Most of the biggest friesian farms are out on the West coast, although they're everywhere these days. And my friend, Cindy, has Apps - always has. Her sister raises them. She just got a new 3yo this year too, so we're both trying to get weight down to where we can ride comfortably again. She's not as heavy as me, but has even a harder time losing due to other health problems.
Julee, Sorry you're feeling so blah - maybe a cold is trying to catch you or something. Even the weather can put a damper on mood, tho. When I moved here from NY, it took me a couple years to get used to the increased cloud cover. Hope you feel
soon!!!
Mom2five, You should see my postcard collection - I'm in a program called Trucker Buddies, and in past years have had 2 classes - down to 1 this year. I'm always buying cards, and have millions extra.
Wyllenn,
on your VICtory over that binge reflex! Onward and Downward! You are my hero for the day!
COLLEEN! A big, shiny
to you! I loved Shrek, but I'm still waiting to see #2 - I'll have to rent it. I was on the road truckin' when it came out and didn't get to see it - or the last Harry Potter. I see you like Celtic music. My all time favorite CD (I have 2 copies of it) is David Arkenstone's 'Book of Celtic Days'. I LOVE it, but if I listen in the car, I have to keep my foot off the gas for a couple of cuts - what energy. And he has one piece on there that makes my heart ache about every time I hear it - beautifully melencholy
Brenda, sounds like you're another member of the Broken Scale Club. Get that thing fixed by the time TOM is gone, so you can appreciate your good work!
Off to shovel puckies, ladies. Burn, calories, burn!
thankfully the rain has gone for now!
Glad to have you! I was up in the 330's and am now in the mid 290's. Low-carb is the only way I've ever been successful. I hope it works for you as well. Hint: Don't eat at my MIL's - the pasta will destroy you.... (OK-That's what I'm recovering from now.) I love your daughter's name - it's beautiful.
