OK, soozie...point yourself in the direction of the gym...now, bend over...KICK!
There ya go! Anyone else? Can someone do the same for me? Thanks.

Thanks KAT! I'm going to call the babysitter for tomorrow. DP works alot on weekends and my gym has no sitter and it closes at 1:00pm on weekends so I'm going to work out at home today...in off topic I promised that much and I'll report back on my progress. Tomorrow I'll really go to the gym and I'm going to look at my calendar and schedule gym days for next week. Have to.

Love, Soozie

and Kat...
BOOM!
...that was a kick in the rear for you friend!!

You're a pal, Soozie! I'm going to the gym in the morning. Need to exorcise the demon that has taken possession of my soul. (Not to mention exercise my big ol' butt!)

I do have to go to a birthday party tomorrow that I am SO dreading. Dreary SIL and her family...I could be doing so many things instead. Making small talk and chit chat with annoying people is not high on the list of things I need to do.

Sooooo...I'm going to the gym first thing in the am...then I'll eat a healthy, nourishing breakfast so that I can eat like a bird at the party. hmmph...so there. I'll show them, having parties 2 weeks before Christmas, on my weekend off, no less...like I don't have shopping, decorating, wrapping, cleaning, Christmas cards, baking to do!
grumble grumble...grrrr...boo hiss...

I don't know if you remember me but can I come back?


Really in need of some help in motivation area and you guys have always seemed to find the way to do that.

Hi Amy, and welcome! I haven't been here long but this is the greatest group ever - I just love the Alternachicks!

I love your quotation, by the way. Inward courage - that's exactly it, cuz no one really knows how hard this journey is. I mean, we all do - and we are here for you and with you - I mean mostly the people around us, even when they love us a lot...they can't know how tough it is.

Hope to hear from you again soon!

AMY JO!!!! I've been wondering where the heck you've been hiding! OF COURSE you can join us! So, fill us in....what's up in your world?

I've been laying low with this nasty crud I have. Begged the pharmacist for something to stop the coughing so I can sleep tonight, and he gave me cough syrup with codeine. My chest hurts from coughing, and oh...the headache....

Hi everyone...just a float by....

Hi Amy
Welcome back!
Virginia

Hi Amy! Welcome

You know the world is mad at you when your cat pee's in your bed.

Wild sed:

>>>I've been laying low with this nasty crud I have. Begged the pharmacist for something to stop the coughing so I can sleep tonight, and he gave me cough syrup with codeine. My chest hurts from coughing, and oh...the headache....

Ugh, that sounds like what I had before it turned into the SINUS INFECTION FROM ****. (Even though I don't believe in ****, if there was one, my sinus infection would be from it. LOL)
Take care of yourself and if it seems to hang on longer than it should, go see your doc.

I tried the salt water up the nose thing. It seems to help a little, and I wish I had tried it sooner. I am just deathly afraid of putting stuff up my nose!

Wildfire, you sick darling... get some rest! It's that party you went to last week. It put you right over the edge, didn't it?
Hugs, hon...

Amy, welcome back!!

Kat, take something with you to the party so you won't waste your time. Like a craft or something. Take all of your gifts and wrapping paper and say, "Excuse me, can we clear the dining table, please? I am SO behind on my wrapping!"

Sabrina, are you starting to feel better, hon? I'm going to remember that salt water thingy next time I'm sick. Knock wood.

Yes Amy, I remember you. Welcome back!

Wldfire-feeling any better. The crud is definately going around. If it is the same thing, the cough will last up to 6 weeks! Sorry!

Hi Amy and everyone! I'm back too...

I'm fighting a cold and energy is way, way low....

I'm going to make cookies this afternoon ~ Yule Cookies! Suns, Moons and Cats.

Yoga was good this morning, and tonight I'll have a salt bath. This lady at yoga says it'll help the cold.

Got my hair re-streaked! I may be congested, but I look fab!

bye til later,

Lois

Random thing - tonight on the Travel channel(10pm) - there is a really cool special on my city it is "Secrets:Buffalo Uncovered". If you ever wanted to know what it is like...

Oh, that would have been so cool Squeak! Unfortunately I don't get that channel or I would have watched it, phoo!

I ended up watching that A&E special about boobs, very interesting until they showed the breast enhancement surgery-I almost barfed! I was so grossed that I had my hand over my mouth yet could not seem to look away-I am only a 36B and there is no freaking way I would get a boob job, especially after seeing that
