MOnday chat!!!!
 

Hey there Chickies,

Since it is 12:47 am and I am up I decided to start the chat!!! Hope everyone had an excellent weekend!!

Well why am I up at 12:47 am??????? Let me tell you that LC brownies and lc mint choc chip ice cream tastes good, but I might as well have eaten a box of ex-lax!!!!!! I have been in the bathroom for hours and it doesn't appear to be stopping!!!! YOWZAAAAA! Malitol no good for TG tummy and my tummy grumbling can probably be heard across the USA!!!

I am sick of LC pizza too, I have had a different one the past 3 days and I am taking a rest. I didin't mean to have it 3 days in a row but every person I was with for the past 3 days wanted to try it!! It is good, just not 3 days in a row.

Yesterday DH and I went to Best Buy (home electronics) and we were looking at those portable dvd players, since we are taking the boys on a road trip this summer and will be in the car 2 days each way. We found one of those and then I was talking about how i would like to finally have a TV in our room since we are getting free cable now that I work for Comcast. Well I ended up spending 379.00, we got the portable DVD player for the car and came home with a 27 inch TV. This is quite and upgrade from our 19 inch tv. DH is in heaven and thank dog it fits in our entertainment center. I don't even need my glasses to see the tv across the room!! :) THank goodness for tax return $.

Well ladies I am going to try to get back to bed!! I hope you all have a great morning and Monday!!! I will check in after work today.

LOve,TG

Good Morning Everyone,
TG I hope your tummy feels better this morning, You have to watch out for those things they're killers :lol:

I dont have much time, I somehow lost my work pants and I now need to tear apart the house looking for them. See what happens when I clean :lol: It's a battle that is never won and when I pull ahead of the game I loose my britches. OYE!
Hope everyone has a great day and I'll check in later.

Good morning to all! Once again, my return button is stuck, so this will be one long, run-on paragraph. TG: I haven't personally tried any LC products, but someone at work told me that when she took off one day a few weeks back it was because her stomach was in such a knot after eating the LC muffin mix! I'll take both of your warnings about intestinal distress to heart! Good news on the TV. Can't imagine life without idiot box at the foot of my bed! To all: Moved river rocks all day yesterday in the back yard, trying my hand at do-it-yourself landscaping. Not finished yet, but got a heck of a good workout and a sunburn on my shoulders to boot! Hubby wasn't much of a help, as he was glued to the TV watching the Maryland game (his old alma mater). No working out for me this a.m., since my shoulders are sore from yesterday and my thighs feel like rubber bands. I'm still sticking to the mini-meal system of eating, and I haven't had any attacks of faintness or fatigue, so I think this is the way to go for me. Two weeks to go before the wedding and my next run in with MIL, so I'm going hunting this week for the most durable, tightly-woven, Lycra undergarment available! Silly that a big portion of my inspiration for losing weight is remembering her nasty comments about my weight gain, but hey.....it's worked!! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

We crossed paths......GOOD MORNING TRAZZIE!!

Morning ladies
Well March break for my kiddies and silly me says hey J lets do your room now.
He picked the brightest green. I just keep saying it is only paint. One coat down after doing all the priming and the ceiling, fixing holes, and stuff so hopefully get another coat on today. HOpefully that covers it as with this one coat it looks like I will need about 3.

I am just finished Tom today and looking for a nice woosh but so far nothing. I was down 2 last week then gained them so hopefully they will fall off tonight again.

Hope everyone with kiddies enjoys the break from getting up and lunches ready but doesn't go crazy with them home all day.

Yaaaaaaaawn...........Boy I am in slow motion this morning.

I made dinner for dh and my mother yesterday and I was BEAT by the time I was finished. I made Beef & Burgundy. I am not a big fan of it but they both LOVED it. It took me hours. Don't think I will be doing that recipe anytime too soon. I was sound asleep by 9pm! That is really early for me.

Well this girl needs to go shopping....I am wearing my dress slacks today and they are looser than they were last week. I even quickly took in the seem this morning before I left for work and they are still baggy. I just hope the size 10 will fit but I doubt it. I am wearing a sweater set that I got at the Gap last year and it has always been kind of tight....it fits perfect now. I guess I am actually starting to see some movement in my size. A very happy girl! :D

I need to get some work done today so I will post personally later.

Have a great day.

Good Morning Ladies,

The boss is here today and very needy, so I'll try to catch up later and read watcha all are posting, sorry but that seems to be my life :(

Hugs !!!

Leenie: :wave: Try to have a good day

Jane: Congrats on having to take the pants in again and your clothes fitting better. Even though the scale said I lost weight this weekend I'm sure not noticing it in the way my body looks. Well, not lately anyway (can tell the difference from when I started to now)


JJCJ: We had a day off on Friday. It's back to school for the chicklets today. And of course it's back to work for me. Have fun painting :)

Spedmom: Wow, you're really ambitious. I don't think I'd be moving rocks and such. I don't think my back could tolerate it. But I do putter around (when it's nicer out that is :lol: ) outside. I'm hoping to do some planting this year!!

Trazzie: Sorry to hear about your lost pants. You sure they didn't fall off you somewhere?? :lol: This seems to be the place that people's clothes fall off.


TG: Sorry to hear about your "bathroom" problems. I'll have to try and remember that the next time I make the low carb brownies. Were they homemade or out of a package? Just wondering because there's a low-carb brownie recipe online that's pretty tasty (at least I thought so). Maybe would want to try that?

Well, we went grocery shopping yesterday. The strawberries look SOOO tempting. Didn't realise hubby had grabbed some until I went to put everything on the belt to pay for it. I keep telling myself "someday". But I'd settle for having some sunflower seeds--which I sparingly put in my salad last night!!! I had to do something different. We also bought another fish tank and beta fish. I think the other beta's going to die :( It's my fault. I tried grabbing some of the slime and crud out of the tank w/out removing him. I think it stressed him out too much. Now he's not eating or moving much. Barely going to the surface for much needed air. We bought a new one that way the SUPER duper animal lover (oldest DD) won't cry when we've gotta flush it. I warned her it was going to die. And we've had it 3 years :( Told her fish are like that--they die easily. Doesn't help, but at least I tried. Hm, not much else happened here. OH!! OH!!!! I haven't stepped on the scale since SATURDAY!! It is SOO weird not doing that!!! :lol: I do have the urget to peak though. So maybe I'll give in on Wednesday-halfway through the week. lol

Hope you all have a great day!!

Another Manic Monday...

Jane - yay, pants too big, it definitely is a love hate relationship, the only time is sucks when you're pants are too big is when you're on your way to work. You must be a master seamstress, they would have just ended up in my hamper :dizzy:

jjcj - enjoy the kidlets being home (kinda sorta ;) ) And hope those 2 persky pounds find their way into the drain. Have fun painting :) )

Paula - All hail the power of the lycra undergarment! That is like 10lbs off right there. Then you MIL can kiss your a** or bounce a quarter off of it if she's so inclined. I have ex-bf coming up on Thursday night so I'm right there with you :devil: .

Trazzie - there is definitely something to be said for NOT cleaning the house, case and point right there, hope they turn up

TG - oohhh big TV, it sure does make a difference, who knew that all those famous ppl looked like that! Hope that grumbling tummy quiets down soon, it's keeping up the neighbours ;)

You'd think that when today started off with 2lbs down ( :strong: ) that it would be a good day but omg was I b****y this morning. Not a pretty sight but the day has turned around, decided to work out this morning rather than later and it made all the difference, gotta love that seritonin. The 150's are so close I can smell them...mmm smells like chocolate. Have a blessed day everyone.

Tummy

Hey Brenda missed you there :wave:

Has anyone heard from Shimma? She's been AWOL for almost a week :?:

Tummy

Theo'sGirl, I discovered Atkins peanut butter cups, chocolate crisps, and other sweet stuff, and I think it was coated in ex-lax too! But, it was worth it! with TOM coming up soon, I needed something sweet, and it did the trick. I had a church function yesterday, and everyone brought food. Not one bit was LC. I had KFC and took all of the skin off of it, and wiped it in a napkin to get the remaining bits of stuff off. All of the chocolate and cakes and other sweets, I didn't even look at! Yeah me! I hope you all have a blessed and happy Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

LOL! My son did that to me! He chose Ireland's Pride.. the brightest emerald green you can imagine! UGH!!! I am just now starting to not notice it as much.. and it has been 2 years!

Good Morning!!

Well, I got on the scale for the first time in over a month today. between being sick ad waiting for TOM, I just didnt want to do it. Well I was up 5 pounds but I know that has to be water due to TOM! But As I am starting Strict Induction today for 2 weeks I am going to go back to that weight on my stats.

The GOOD news is.. I took my measurements for the first time since December and I am down about 3.25 more inches! As soon as I am done posting, I will be updating all my stats! WOO HOO!

I got up at 4:30 (That is when I weighed in) to go to the Gym at 5 am! I am very proud of myself for doing that as well and got in 4.75 miles for the trek!

I'll get more personal later! I have 2 kids that need to eat breakfast.. but I had to report in! :)

BTW, I go and get an Atkins Endulge when I am constipated and it works! :) So i do think there is something to be said about the LC products and tummy issues!

Hi gals.
Tummy is settling down, still grumbling but the worst is over. I think it wasn't the brownies it was the choclate chips in the LC mint choc chip ice cream. The brownies were great, we were the test kitchen fo a new type of LC brownie that my sister's friends brother made, he is on Atkins too.They are less than 1 carb per serving (2 inch by 2 inch sq) He is selling them on the internet so far, but they were yummy, tasted just like real brownies. I can never stomach any of the chocolate made with malitol, I thought since I only had a tiny bit of the ice cream I would be fine.

The scale still hasn't budged, I am in the process of keeping strong and waiting for THE BOOM!!! Feel like it is coming caue all my clothes are looser, I wanna get into the 230's that would be great for this boom, since I am right on the edge!

Gotta go clock in have a great day ladies!!

Im glad you are feeling better TG!!

Hey.. does anyone know why I cannot get on to FItday? It says the server is down... anyone know if this is temp or if it has been this way for a while?

The Atkins Endulge bars have a warning telling you that malitol has a laxitive effect, but did I listen.... Of course not!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well, it was worth it. I have no idea how much weight I have lost, because I haven't gotten on a scale yet, and I don't intend to for at least 4 weeks. I obsess too much. My jeans are so baggy now, that I look silly! That tells me that I am losing weight! They used to be almost too tight, and now they are seriously too big! That hasn't happend in a loooong time!

I'm here, I'm here.... I promise.

Thanks for the concern Tummy. Things have been incredibly hectic and busy for me the past.... 5 days? Maybe 7? I don't know. My bf was on spring break, my class was nearing an end and clinicals were running late every single night. Not to mention I was cramming for the final every spare moment I had so... yeah, I kind of disappeared. I also kinda (ok, not kinda in the slightest... DEFINITELY) was off Atkins for the past week. It was so hard to resist when my bf was making me all my favorite meals so that they were ready by the time I got home from clinicals? How could I resist that? We had such a great week together and he left for school this morning and I miss him terribly already. :(
Oh well... My class is FINISHED. Work is returning to NORMAL. My apartment will soon be CLEAN (since I have all this spare time now). And going back to ATKINS today. I tell you though, carbs make me feel gassey, bloatey, and generally lazy and uncomfortable. And the bf agrees! So we're going to be good little Atkins angels from now on.

Hello to everyone! :wave: I'm noticing everyone's new lower weights!!!!!!!! Congrats to all of you!!! I'm so proud! Hopefully I will be joining you soon now that I have time to work out and have vowed to be good.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!

I have two more days of **** at work, but I'm still back back back! I went on a shopping at Saturday's Market yesterday (it's an open air market with a bunch of locals who make and sell their own stuff) so my 'lunch break' was 6 hours long :lol: It felt great!

I'm officially into the 130's and I'm so dang excited! Over the weekend, I actually wore a short skirt for the first time in 10 years. It's silly, but that was so empowering! I feel like I don't have to hide me all the time and that's so great!

TG - I tried that pizza at Winco yesterday and OMG yummy! What a great treat!

In my continued spirit of going on food adventures, I've also tried Skinny Cow LC ice cream sandwiches and Great Harvest LC bread. Both were fabulous, but the bread was really to die for. It's 9 grams per slice, but wonderfully dense and good enough to eat plain. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I also went out for dinner on Friday and got adventurous with that, too. I tried the pan seared (think browned on the outside, almost raw on the inside) ahi tuna with a ginger wasabi sauce and topped with shredded jicima. Yum yum yum! I love this WOE!

DH is doing wonderful on Induction. He's been on for one whole week and he's already lost enough off his waist to require his employer to issue him a new duty belt over the weekend because the old one was too big. Boys!!! No fair that it's that easy for them! :mad: :lol:

I hope everyone's doing well. I see a lot of new names out there, so :wave: !

Star! I am so glad you are back! WTG on getting into the 130's! Youare doing so great! How on earth did you get your hubby to do Atkins. I am desparately trying to get my DH to do it!

Shimma - Good to see you girl!! :) I dont envy you with all you have going on at school.:) Been there, done that... dont want to go back! LOL!

Catgirl - How long have you been on Atkins?

Just got back from the grocery store! I am all stocked up again! And only Induction friendly foods! :) I still need to run to Trader Joes for Nitrate Free Bacon!

Karen: Don't you love having food you know you can eat in the house? It's when I've got junk food only that I start to wonder when I'm gonna eat again. Congrats on the measurements!!!

Star: Oh I bet you feel so great!!! In the 130's, I'm only dreaming of that!!! I bet you looked great in that short skirts. I bet no pictures again eh? ;)

Shimma: Wondered how you were faring there. Glad things are all straightening out. Sorry to hear about the bf :( but welcome back to atkins :)

Catgirl: Congrats on the big clothes!! Wish I could say the same. Mine are actually feeling a little snug. Um, think it's cuz I threw the jeans in the dryer?? :lol: I haven't gotten adventurous enough to try new pants on.

TG: glad you're feeling better.


I counted down and noticed TOM is coming around again. Gosh dang it all those weeks sure do fly by fast. But that explains the chocolate urges I've been having. And of course they had thin mints (peppermints) at work. But I was strong (for now) and didn't eat any. I need to bring my own supply of lc chocolates for when the urges hit at work and there's nothing but junk around. Anyone have any suggestions? Um, something that's not gonna land me in the bathroom for the whole day. :lol: I imagine with TOM coming I best stock up for the whipped topping. I know there's no way I'll get around the chocolate cravings. I know I could NOT buy the supplies for it--but I also know I want to remain human during TOM :o

OH!! Forgot to mention/ask.....am I the only one that doesn't have a tv in their bedroom? My kids don't either. Are we deprived?? :lol:

Lady my husband informs me that we have been deprived since we have always only had 1 TV, but noew the one in the bedroom is for me!!!! So I can not watch NIck jr and waatche what i want in pricvacy. I would never get my kids a tv in their room I think I like to see what they are watching...maybe when they are older. But I figured since i will have all the cable channels for free i wanna watch Sex in The City by myself!! LOL

HI STAR!!! I sure did miss you girl! congrats to DH!

Love TG

Brenda- I dont have a tV in my room either. We have DirecTV with a TiVo downstairs in the family room and a old tv that isnt hooked up to cable or sattilite up in the kids play room so that they can watch movies or play an OLD Super Nintendo. but that is it!

BTW.. I just updated my profile with my before and current pictures. I want to take another pic in about 2-3 months

Karen,

Tomorrow will be two weeks. I called Atkins hotline today and asked how long I could stay on induction, and they said as long as I felt well and didn't get bored. He told me to try to stay on induction until I reach 15 lbs. of my goal weight. That is a long time! Oh well, it will be worth it.

Hey, ladies! Good to see everyone back and ALL the new gals! It's hard to keep up with all the posts.

Karen: You're looking great!! Congrats on your progress!!

What is Winco? I've never heard of it. Is it just a NW thing? I'm dying for some LC pizza!!

I still can't find the Skinny Cow bars, either. :( Wal-Mart is stocked up on all the low-fat Skinny Cow products, but no LC items that I can see yet.

No TV in the bedroom here, either. I don't watch the one in the living room that often, anyway. Except stay out of my way when "The Bachelor/Bachelorette" is on! :D

It's great to hear all of the success stories. Everyone is definitely shrinking! I'm hoping to shrink some more, too. I've been staying right on plan, although I've eaten a few too many mixed nuts more than once this week. But, overall, eating is right on plan, and I've been getting my exercise in, so I know these last 26.5 pounds will come off eventually. I can't wait!!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Take care,
Jina

Great pics, Karen! I actually never spoke to DH about starting Atkins. I just was continually ranting about how he eats like crap and if he cares about his wife (ME!!! :D ) and any potential children we may have, that perhaps he should think about taking care of himself so he could be around for us. That didn't really phase him at all, but when he noticed that he was starting to look pregnant because of his gut, he got good and scared ;)

Brenda - I absolutely refuse to have a TV in my bedroom. I'm a little anti-tv, though. I think most people spend too much time parked in front of glowing screens and not enough time moving. That's a big thing that's being blamed for the amount of obesity in kids.

Also, Brenda - you know the lecture about giving into sweets instead of taking charge and establishing control over your own body so I won't go there again ;)

Jina - I think Winco is a NW thing. And every day I'm grateful for living here. Everything is going low carb! I can go to my grocery deli now and get a LC wrap, or non-breaded chicken, or faux-tatoes. It's wonderful! Ohhhhhhhh and you're so close to your goal! Isn't it exciting?

Planning on a new current picture this weekend. The most current pic I have of me was at 148, so I think we're about due. ;)

Off to get lunch!

TG: I've been talking about getting another tv that way if (I should say when) DH watches his sports and hunting junk all the time me and the DD's can go watch someting else.

Karen: WOW!!! You are doing GREAT!!! Keep up the excellent work. The pics are great!

Catgirl: I'm within 16 pounds of my highest goal weight. I'm not sure I want to venture into the next phase. I'm not sure I'm strong willed enough. But that's great info-thanks!!!


Jina: You keep up the good work. Before you know it the weight'll slip right off and you'll be where ya want to be weight wise :)


*wonders if she should make some lc brownies. The chocolate urge is hitting more*

:^: um. Star...I don't have the best willpower to begin with. I know what I SHOULD be doing. I know what I WANT to do. Why can't things be simple? Flip a switch and this TOM would be gone forever?

Finally have a minute.

Just booked the hotel for our trip to NY. I don't want to go, I don't want to go, I don't want to go........................
Also need to book a hotel for a wedding we have to go to on the Cape in May. Boy, I hate spending money on this kind of stuff. I can think of so many other things to spend that kind of money on.

lady_adnerb: I actually find over the last couple of months that TOM is no big deal for me eating wise. It was at first but since I have really gotten off the carbs (and I mean OFF) I don't crave them like I used to and especially at TOM. I'm still as cranky as I used to be but at least I am not eating like a mad woman :o

We have a tv in the bedroom....my husband is a big news watcher so some nights I will go up stairs and just relax on the bed and watch what I want to watch. I also have one in my sewing/craft room that my husband got me for Christmas. I love that one....now I can watch it while I work on a project.

StarPrincess: Glad you are back...you keep this place hoppin. Congrats on the 130's :cp: I WISH! Please post new pictures. Men do seem to lose easier and faster than we do...not fair. My husband is so skinny but if he is up a couple of pounds he just has to eat a salad for a couple of days and poof it is gone. ggggrrrrrrr

jdoggmartin: I'd be lost without my nuts! I found the Planters Sunflower seeds that are only 1 gram for an ounce.....with sunflower seeds an ounce lasts forever. Unless you inhale them, which I have been known to do. But I don't think the nuts have ever slowed me down. It is the only salty snack I can have.

Catgirl67: I have been on induction (no more than 20 grams per day) since I started in September. The only thing different is I added the nuts and some low carb stuff once in a while but I still stay at no more than 20 grams. I am a very slow loser so I am going to stay this way until I lose the last 13 pounds.

KarenW: Love the new picture. For those of you that haven't been around in a bit I posted a face shot of me in my profile. I will post some skinny pictures this summer...I hope! Don't you just love Trader Joe's! 5 AM!!!!! Yikes. I can barely get out of bed at 6. Good for you for getting in that exercise though. I do mine at night when I am awake and won't fall over while doing it.

Theo'sgirl: Have fun with the new TV. Watch all the girlie shows you want! Well not girlie shows....you know what I mean. :o Glad your stomach is feeling better.

Shimma: Welcome back. Just hop back on. You will do fine. Sorry your bf had to go back to school but glad you had a nice vacation with him.

Hope I didn't forget anyone.......off to have my afternoon snack. Dannon low carb yogurt. Chicken for dinner tonight. I am going to turn into a chicken if I don't find something else to eat!

Well the good news, I managed to find my pants and get to work on time :lol: Now I seem to be having a problem keeping my pants up! Really annoying in a way since I only just bought them a month ago and I don't want to waste the money on work clothes .. hehe maybe some sespenders are in order.

Star - Great to have you back and GRATZ on the loss! Must be a great feeling! I am aiming for 150 but I'm almost positive now that once I reach it I'll have to keep going.

Brenda - ZCarb bars got me through my TOM. I found them at Walgreens since we dont have a 7-11 anywhere close. No side effects either and delish! :)

Shimma - Sounds like you had a wonderful visit with your b/f. Good things never last long enough huh? :( Happy to hear some of the stress is taken off your shoulders.

Theo - TV in my bedroom is great.. always a place to push DH when he's getting under my skin :lol: You wouldn't happen to have that site address? I would love to have a good tasting LC Brownie! MMMmmmm...

Sped - What a workout eh? I would love to try some do-it-yourself landscaping but first I need the land to scape. Sorry to hear your sore but just think of all those muscles you built up!

Jjcj - Well the green could have been worse (i think) :lol: I love painting but I always get so frustrated on the rooms without molding because I can never get the wall and the ceiling without getting the paint on one or the other (if that made sense)

Jane - Your shrinking! Gratz! Try not to let this trip bother you so much, enjoy the hotel and all of it's benefits.. especially if it has a hot tub. See if you can find a little something to look forward too :)

Leenie :wave: little busy bee

Tummy - If 150's smell like chocolate imagine how good the 140's will taste!

Karen - Way To Go on the inches gone! I'm sure that 5lb's wont stick around long.. your looking great!

Jdogg - I found the skinny cow bars at a local Piggly Wiggly grocery store.. which is amazing since this little rinky dink store has about 3 isles and most of them are bread :lol: Hope you can get your hands on some.. they are fabo!

I'm still debating on if I am going to do a workout today or not.. I give you all credit to the one's who can get up at the crack of dawn and hit the gym. Maybe tonight I'll hope on the Gazelle for a few miles. I'm just not in the bouncing mood today ;) Hope you all have a nice Monday night

:wave: Hi gang!

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me back! I can't wait to start losing again! I also can't wait to start feeling better again. I meant it when I said carbs made me feel like crap.... nothing that's going to keep me in bed.... but I feel so bloated that I don't want to move at ALL. Ick. No thank you. However, and you can all hate me for this one.... It was nice to finally eat those Cheetos I've been craving since day ONE of induction. I'll stop at that, the rest of the stuff was crap and made me feel bad.
Everyone seems to be doing really really well right now and I'm so proud of all of you! I'm going to be jumping on the workout bandwagon SOON, just not tonight, my sinuses have started to bleed (happens more than you'd think) which means I have quite the headache going on.
Along the TV lines: I actually have a TV that I don't use, I let my sister put it in her room. I watch about an hour of TV a week and that is only when Alias is on. Other than that... I just don't watch it. I could rant and rave about the ills of TV and the downfall of society, but I'm sure ya'll can figure out what I'd say. ;)
And along the men losing so easily lines..... my bf lost his ENTIRE belly (which was not small) in like 3 weeks. Not fair. Sooo not fair.

Let us damn and curse the men!!!!

They don't have to experience cramps, childbirth, sore boobs, or the adventure of peeing while trying to squat. They lose weight more easily and if they weren't good for lifting, carrying, disposing of icky things (think spiders!) and taking the blame, we'd do away with them all together!

:cheers:

LOL! And I second that!! :)

Well,
The poor things are not that intelligent. After all, all they do is eat chicken wings and watch TV with the hopes of a naked woman standing in front of it!

My DH just recently told me he wanted to lose some weight.. I was like OH PLEASE! I was just happy to finally weight less then him :lol: He is 230lb but he is very tall and has a little itty bitty pooch on him. I told him to remove his arse from the computer chair and do the laundry, that would drop those pounds right off. ( I mind as well take advantage of the situation right?) :rofl: MEN!

Star: Extremely well said! So well said, in fact, that I just might have to print that out and hang it up. That quote is fabulous! It's good to have you back!

Trazzie I will get it for you from my Sis. Yeah I was totally thinking of me when we bought the new TV, with On demand being launched and I can watch yoga shows on wisdom TV and watch all the seasons of Sex in The city and 6 Feet under, etc etc etc, I have to say there are only so many episodes of Rugrats and sponge bob I wanna watch, DH watches them with the kids!! Plus there is only so many games I wanna watch them play too! So YEAH ME I got a tv for me FINALLY!!!! I was totally anti-tv and totally all about only 1 tv in the house until I had to share it and I usually loose out on what I wanna watch!!! PLus HBO On Demnad plays all their documentries they make and I love them and everyone else in this house hates them. They say "boooooorring"
