Newbie Me
 

I am new and reading comments, trying to get to know people and my way around......It's past my bedtime, I tend to rise early and go to bed early, but its Saturday night, hahah, but I can't figure out what "dm" stands for......I assume that is your mother? I work with elderly, so I know what that means when they need 24 hr. care, believe me, everything will be easier for everybody when she is getting the extended care she needs and you can visit her often and still have some time to yourself. Are "dh" and "DS" initials for someone?........

Bobbbi......WOW! That sounds wonderful k3

Sounds wonderful Bobbi! I hope you get the offer on your house that you can live with. Our realtor in colorado always said, "Well, you've been invited to the dance, now you have to wait to be asked to dance!" Pretty much sums it up. Good Luck and will be anxious to hear.

ChatKat-- Welcome and if you are interested you can check out the acronyms here: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/anno...-acronyms.html But you are right DM is Darling Mom or Dear Mom.. Glad that you found us an look forward to getting to know you.

Good evening GG's,

Late getting my GG fix this evening. Stopped in to say hi.

Mary ~ sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Bobbi ~ hope this (prospective buyer) is finally the one. Hopefully Donna's magic fingers, toes and anything else she crossed did the trick.

Chatkat ~ welcome. There is a section above the threads ~ one of the "stickys" that tells what a lot of those a lot of the abbreviations (acronyms) are. You were right DM stands for dear mother. DS is dear son, DH ~ dear husband (or darned if he is not being dear ~ LOL).

Ok, I'd rather stay up and play, but every time I do that ~ I am kicking myself in the morning when that alarm goes off.

Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

Take care

Hi everyone!

Family tension -- don't you love it ---:mad:
Trying to deal with "I'm always right and everyone else is wrong" people is a strain. Can't please everyone - feel like I'm always stuck in the middle and hearing it from both sides. Wish everyone would just grow up and used common sense. Geesh....

Got to see my darling precious GD last night - what a joy. She is such a happy little girl -- greeted me with "Hi Grammy" and a huge smile and a hug and a kiss -- she just melts my heart. :D She'll be 3 in July - what a wonderful age.

Unfortunately I had to go down the street to my friend's house to see her because my SO and DD are on the outs :( But I'm not going to let them rain on my parade. Things will work out... I'm just trying to figure out how to make the changes I need to make with the least amount of stress. People will say "I don't want to cause you stress" (due to my heart condition) but then they feel the need to get on their high horse because...... well, they're always right! :dizzy: One day they'll be riding their high horse out of town!! :p

Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well -- all of you have issues too. My prayers go out to you who are dealing with health issues (your own and your loved ones) -- those are the most difficult because certain things we just don't have any control over.

No matter what, I try to keep a positive attitude and not be a wet blanket. Why be miserable. :carrot: There's so much to be thankful for -- like having you ladies -- I always feel inspired by all of you -- Thanks for being "good eggs"!!

Howdy all....doing boneless ribs in the oven and dash is moaning a doggie tune. Man that dog just doesn't do oven good. He loves his canned dog food that is called Backyard BQ!

Bobbi...I have everything crossed, too. Which makes it hard to type with crossed eyes and fingers.

Donna...my ticker is ticking steady and slow as my grandfather's clock which stood ninety years on the floor... it was taller by half then the old man himself but weighed not a penny weight more.....how's that for an ear worm to drive you wee bit crazy!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Gayle...just keep yourself positive and happy. Getting a good night sleep helps.

I have one more disk/dvd of Hart of Dixie...will finish it just because I started it....phew it has so many cliques that you start predicting the next one. Acting isn't much better....sighhhhh spoiled by Dayton Abbey!

Any new good books? I need a reload in my Kindle....k3

Got all ready to go to the gym this morning but started coughing which causes other issues and keeps me running to the bathroom, so decided not to go. I can handle it better (at least more privately!) at home. I don't feel quite so tired so think I am better though, I just have this tickle in my throat. My arm hurt (ached) more again last night and woke up with it feeling very heavy and sore. I go to the doctor this afternoon so will see what he thinks about that and my bp which remains a bit high. I suspect that my A1C will be higher this time too....not sure whether he will check that today or not. I hate that I have gained weight....he told me to lose and instead I gained! So mad at myself!:( I keep thinking I'll get my priorities straightened out and get back on track but so far I haven't done that.

Speaking of being mad...I was mad at dh last night. He went to the Easter play at church alone as I didn't want to go with this cough. Hasn't decreased my hunger any though and I went looking for something to eat. Found this 1/2 gal of ice cream in the garage fridge!! It was almost gone so know he's been eating it a little at a time without telling me! He KNOWS that I don't want him to have any large containers of anything. I asked him to please just buy a one or two serving container of whatever goodies he likes that might tempt me. We went over that again just recently. Well I don't know when he bought this, but there it was. So I ate the rest of it!:o and I didn't mention it to him. I know I shouldn't have eaten it but maybe he'll think more about me next time. It's like bringing in cocaine when your spouse is an addict. At the same time I know that I should be able to stick to my diet even if he does bring these things into the house. He has a right to the food he wants. And he just can't understand how hard it is for me as he is just naturally very disciplined. I'm the stupid one for eating it and harming not only my diet efforts but also my health!

Donna - It IS good that your mom can still see to read. I love to read too. Good luck with the training.

Bobbi - Hope the house deal goes through. Poor Bruce, but at least he gets dessert! :D

Chatkat - Welcome to our group! I hope you will check in often and let us get to know you.
