  • Hey Jodu. Of course I remember you. I never realized how long I was gone from this thread. 2 1/2 years if not longer.

    I skipped 2 Effexor by accident and boy is my head spinning. I got a starter pack to do in reverse. Some workmen are here to finishd the floor in the garage. I should go otu and help them move stuff.

  • Hi everyone again.....

    I'm busy at work, busy at home (it never seems to end), taking care of mama full-time(ohshedrivesmerightovertheedge) and I have to be the family cheerleader....but it's just an exercise in futility, because there is nothing to cheer about.......my sibling is NOT going to get better.
  • I'm sorry, I will catch up with you all tomorrow and do personals.
  • Good Morning

    What a long grueling week LOL. Its raining today and expecting to rain tomorrow too so I guess I'll take down my Christmas tree.....yep its still up. I love it but it has to get put away. I love coming down in the morning, house is dark and I light the tree...its such a warm feeling. So...thats my day....oh cleaning too lol.

    Marbles, good to see you. Busy is my middle name too. Hang in there

    Cathy good for you for getting your exercise in. I keep saying I'll get up earlier but sheesh....4:30 is early enuf but then by the time I get home at night 6 PM I'm beat.... I must figure out something.

    Kemp, how are the meds working for you (besides the missed ones...ya feeling better?).

    Sassy, how are you feeling today? is it the winter thats got ya down?

    Liz...... how are you doing? how's the job and kids? yep time flys and it only gets faster....even my 5 year old goes "mama, the days go by so fast..why?" LOLOL

    Judo YOU ROCK!!!! I'm so glad things are turning around for you and your feeling better. Congrats on breaking that nasty ol plateau. I'd prob be 20 lbs lighter if I'd exercise. With my back and knees the only thing I can do is light light aerobics / treadmill or swim, to cold to swim so its the treadmill for me. I'm finding it hard to fit in my schedule but I gotta make something work.

    Skinny, how are you feeling today? whats on your agenda for the weekend?

    Buddly hope your birthday week was good..... oh and snow ICK !!! did you wind up shoveling? The last time I shoveled I threw my back out for over a month.... can't do that stuff LOLOL

    Well, I gotta get going and read up on the rest of the threads to make sure no one's being naughty haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa just kidding.... I wanna make bean soup this weekend mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmm !!!

    Whats everyone up to this weekend?

    .
  • Hey all.......

    I am having a major low point right now. Just stupid thoughts running through my head like I did this all to myself (my weight) and that I let not only myself down, but my DH too. I know this probably doesn't make sense, just I just feel so bad that I "let myself go" so badly.

    And it was all over one stupid comment my DH made about a tv show. We were watching Ghost Whisperer and Jennifer Love Hewitt (The star of the show) turned around and my DH said, "She has a big butt". So I looked at him and said, "So if she has a big butt then what do I have???" I know he wasn't saying it to make me feel bad in particular, just a dumb comment that came out of his mouth but it just really made me think..........

    Guess that is what I get for "Thinking".............

    Well sorry to "Whine" and go but I do need to sleep I guess if I have to work tonight. I guess I just needed to get that out..........

    Have a Great Day.
  • good morning gang

    I'm drinking my coffee with yummy cream and coolwhip on top. I'm special

    Gonna do a few things around here and get some clothes washed and get some exercise and do some cooking. I haven't decided how may miles I'm doing yet, but I'll post them on the exercise thread when I get them done.

    Leenie - if you already get up at 4:30 in the mornings, and then get back home at 6, I don't know how in the world you are gonna work in some exercise, unless it's possible to get in a walk during your lunchhour. Is that even possible for you? goodness girl, your schedule is crazy full!

    Hey Sassy - hope you feel better after you get some sleep.

    Where's the rest of our gang? what's everbody up to?

    hope everybody has a great weekend
    hugs,
    Cathy
  • Hey everybody!

    I have my one day off this week.....my new years resolution was about finding balance.....guess I am not quite there yet. I shall continue to strive for it though.

    I love work but it is so busy and there have been so many changes.

    I don't have enough time to stay on top of my house and even if I hired help I would still have to keep it relatively organzied....though it is not bad at the moment.

    I have not kept in touch with my friends enough...but doing better with my hubby and kids.

    I have got the exercise tape out but haven't joined the rest of my family on the dreadmill...I know once I do I will enjoy it....strange how I am resisting.

    I have started taking my lunch to work and slowly pushing the water...so baby steps.

    My mood is relatively good at the moment...but I think that I need to keep on digging to find out what is going on physically---and if I had a decent doctor it would help.

    Anyhow that is what is going on in my life.

    I have enjoyed all the activity on the thread but weeklys are too overwhelming for me...I think when it used to be daily's I could jump in and pick up from there....but bottom line I just don't have the time for computer stuff any more....though I think of all my 3fc friends often.

    sassy the best thing I ever did for my mood was get the **** off nights....I had no idea how terrible I felt. I have beat myself up about the state of affairs I have let myself get into as well...we all have to do that once and a while.....I am sure your hubby just meant she had a big butt in comparison to the rest of her which is really hot! I think sometimes it is the way she dresses....but I know what you mean. I feel insecure sometimes too about my body and how attractive or unattractive I am.

    Cathy only we can slow down the pace of our lives...I have stopped attending school council meetings and have said no to all volunteering for now. I know that my intentions were always good for these things but it made little sense that I was sitting at a high school council meeting because I am concerned about issues pertaining to my daughter and she is sitting at home missing me because I haven't been home since early morning....you know what I mean.
    I have to cut back my hours at work too....by the time I get home I have nothing left to give to my family and that isn't fair to them.

    Leens sounds like you are busy too! It will feel good to get the tree down and dust and vaccum. I always like to take it down...but I never last this long....the 6th is the longest I have ever kept it up. I love the lights too....maybe you should put some white small lights on your mantle or on a big plant....I know what you mean about the calming affect of those twinkly lights.

    Kemp you crazy girl...where the heck have you been...missed you...seemed like only yesterday you were here in the mornings leading the pack!

    Marble...what kind of work do you do and how is your mom? Hang in there....we have no other choice.

    Hi to everyone else...have a great weekend and keep in touch!

    Liz
  • hey Liz - it's so good to see ya!!!!!!!!!!!!
    gosh only one day off this week! that's not enough time off girl.
    I truly hope you enjoy your day off and get some rest.
    What exercise tape are you doing?

    I did 3 miles this morning so that makes 17 exercise miles so far this month

    I gotta hit the shower and see about starting a roast for supper.

    later gaters
  • Greetings! No, you're not hallucinating...'tis me! I have the worse trouble getting in here and there doesn't seem to be any reason! DH has consulted with the computer gurus at his office and they can't come up with any solution either! I have the same trouble with my Hotmail account.

    Anyway, am alive and well. Am painting, sewing, crocheting.

    Hugs to all!
  • Hey all.

    Cathy -- Thanks! I do feel a little bit better today.....just have a major headache is all. lol. WTG on the 3 miles this morning and the 17 miles this month -- that is great! Maybe that is what I need, to get in more exercise, isn't exercising supposed to release more serotonin or something??

    Liz -- I actually prefer nights to days. I was on days before and I couldn't stand it. Yes I know that working nights I don't get to see a lot of people and all, but I was just totally miserable on days. I think a lot of it is due to the weather here lately, just lots and lots of rain.....Yeah I can understand what DH meant and yes I think it does have a lot to do with what she is wearing and lastnight on the show she was wearing tight black pants that kinda did emphasize her butt. lol.

    I hope you all are doing well!

  • TTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY! TIPPY!
    we've been missing you girl!!!!! you gotta figure out what's the problem with your computer so you can get in here more often. dang! how was your Christmas?
    we miss you!

    Sassy- yep exercise does make us all feel better. there is a thread here on exercise that you might like to read.

    I've got to get ready for sunday school and church.

    hope everybody has a blessed day
    hugs
