I can't stand American Idol either...both the contestants and judges irritate me.

Sassy, next time have your doctor initial the bottom of the scrip where it says, "Do not Substitute", then insurance won't be able to give you generic, they will give you brand only.

no snow here, but what a change in the temp....brrrrrr and to think 2 weeks ago I was running around Hoboken in open toe shoes!

[cathyxxx]

hey gang

I'm so busy that I don't know if I'm coming or going

didn't make it up in time to exercise so that didn't help my day at all

Hey Joanne!!! I knew it had been awhile since we have seen you. I am so very sorry about your sister in law and your friend. Goodness you've had a lot going on. I'm so very glad to hear about Matthew's release! Y'll have got to be beyond EXCITED! I will keep him in my prayers. How did your weigh in go last nite?

Hey Skinny - how bout this weather huh. We really haven't gotten any ice but boy is is COLD brrrrrrrr

Hey Sassy - hope you are enjoying the snow. It must be so pretty when it first falls.

Hey Marbles - I didn't get in my exercise this morning but you are doing GREAT! I did order some new dvds that Leslie Sansone just put out called "Walk Slim" so I'm excited about that.....not that I don't already have plenty in my collection to pick from ;-)

Hey Leenie - I see you are busy at work.

I gotta get back to work too
later gaters

[cathyxxx]

hey? not that anybody chats anymore BUT
can anybody in here get into the chatroom????

I tried and it said I needed a new version of Java and then downloaded it and still nothing.....just curious if anybody can get in there.

[marbleflys]

I've never chatted, just used the forum boards........I'm the *patient* type....

so you are BUSY cathy? metoo, but I am determined to keep my New Year's promise to myself to get back into a daily exercise routine 5-6 days per week. Mama had this huge accident and long rehab...that was 8 months ago, I just coped....and played nurse/housekeeper/psychiatrist/garbageman/chauffeur/pharmacist....

then my only sib. was dx'd w/an *aggressive* cancer last month......I've got too much on my little pointy head.......exercise is something I can control (along with doing it keeps my BP down and makes me breathe).

[Leenie]

Good Morning

Sassy, I'm glad the meds are okay so far... a positive attitude helps too How's your today?

Skinny I dislike that show too. I watched it while surfing the other day for about 2 minutes... some blond w/a greasy hair doo was trying to sing like Jules and when they told her no way she cried and freaked out... okay.. a little to stupid for my taste but what do I know LOLOL that was my first taste of the show....and last.

Cathy, busy beeee. How is the walking coming along ? how are the boys? Chat???? whats that LOL, remember the good old days I haven't been to chat in a very very very long time.

Joanne boy lady, you've had enuf to deal with especially in the past few weeks. That is heart breaking to hear about your SIL and friend On another note, YEAH your son is getting out !!! will he be staying with you? Its a tough transition but with the Lord by his side, he's gonna be okay. I'm glad you didn't gain alot during christmas...you know it seems that thats where I do most of my damage with weight gain is during the holidays. This year I think I gained about 2 lbs but they are gone... its hard isn't it.

Marbles, OY!!! I'm sorry to hear about your sister...uhhh thats just heart breaking I'm glad though your doing well with your exercising. I'm the opposite... I stink at the exercise but do okay with the food (well some times LOL). When I first got married my skinny minnie DH gained 24 lbs the first year... he really enjoyed my cooking but for his sake I had to stop. So now, 17 years later, I don't cook at all heheheheheheh just kidding. Men drop weight like water so phooooie on them

Tippy miss ya girlie... Cathy brought up the chat room and geee we used to have a blast in chat, my garsh I miss those times. Fun fun times.

Liz...you were among us chatty girls in the chat room days too. What a blast. How's work going along?

Its a beautiful blue sky, sunny day.....but cold.... I'll take it
Nothing planned for the day just work, home, home work, dinner, dishes, cleaning, baths...bed!

How about you chicklets...whats shakin?

[cathyxxx]

good morning gang

I think somebody blow up the sun and isn't fessing up about it We haven't seen any sunshine since Saturday and don't think we're suppose to see it for awhile. It's raining today....goes with the grey and dreary skies.....but I'm not complaining cause I'm inside

I did drag myself out of bed this morning and got in 2 miles, but I'm still feeling sleepy. Think it's just the weather.

Marbles - I'm so proud of you with all your exercising. You are right - it's definitely something you/we can control. I'm sorry to hear about your sister. I will keep her in my prayers too. Does she live near by you? or far away?

Hey Leenie - walking is going great on the days I get up and do it . Boys are good - really good. Youngest son is in his 4th semester of college with a 3.9 GPA. I don't know how he does it bec he doesn't seem to study much but figure with a 3.9 he must know what he's doing. Oldest son is good too - better than he has been in years - as long as he takes his Armour Thyroid every day he is good. He's got all the previous psych meds out of his system and is himself and sooooooo much better. It's a miracle in my book

Yea chat use to be soooooo much fun. Remember the old days when the room would get so full that it would start bumping people out of there lol I haven't tried to get in there in over a year - just haven't thought about it - but for some reason I can't even get in there. Just wondered if it was me or the room??? not that I have time to chat....I was just curious why I couldn't get it to work.

Skinny - you staying warm and dry over there? how's things with you? still going to the techno gym?

Sassy - is it still snowing today?

Kemp? you frozen over there yet?

what's everybody up to today?

hope it's a BLESSED day!
hugs,
Cathy

[SkinnyScorp29]

Good Morning....Yep staying warm..gonna hate seeing that awful Cleco bill LMAO....still doing my weights and stuff....
Is paula abdul drunk on AI???? i swear she was slurring and her eyes arent focused and she is nutty LOLOLOL..

[marbleflys]

I'm soooo tired too........(but i did my exercise today) I did not get to sit down until after 9PM...I worked until 7, then home to the starving cats who continued to scold me for being late with their dinner and box scooping and the house was too cold for them.

By the time I got done taking down some Xmas decorations, vaccuumed. changed bed linens, unloaded the dishwasher and started a load of laundry, I was too TIRED to cook dinner, but I did anyway because I was STARVING. I don't think a glass of merlot is a balanced meal............ I made stir-fry chicken breast and veggies with some low-sodium soy and rice vinagar, chili paste (Thai-style)....wrapped in lettuce because cooking rice is beyond my skill.

thanks for the kind words, it's my sib. not my sis.....my bro. had been doing the majority of caretaking for Mama....(that's a novel to type, I just can't today)....now I've just added her care into the mix.

[cathyxxx]

good morning gang

I'm busy with payroll and way too much paperwork

Hope everybody has a blessed day!
hugs,
Cathy

[marbleflys]

it is getting mighty boring in here.....I can talk to myself without logging on.

[SkinnyScorp29]

Good Morning....so glad the weekend is finally here...any sports fans??? WHOHOO GO SAINTS GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Just here boiling me some eggs....
pretty much bored...what's everyone's plan for this weekend??????????

[cathyxxx]

hey skinny - boiling eggs does sound pretty boring

we will definitely be watching the Saints game on Sunday

It is soooooo EXCITING that they have made it this far!!!

do you remember when people/fans use to sit in the stands with a bag on their head LOL but no bags on their heads now

Hey Marbles - don't start talking to yourself yet .... talk to us
sometimes it just gets really quiet in here
what ya doing today.....besides work?

[marbleflys]

I am the most feared person at school today..........I am configuring final grades that determines the future careers of many, my head is spinning like Linda Blair.....

and I am waiting for BF to call me back to tell me if he is bringing home veal parm, pasta and a caesar salad........(this is a peace offering because he SNORED last night and kept me awake)

I am also contemplating adopting two kittens...Obama and Hilary....although Slim's fur would be ruffled at the thought of sharing space and FOOD.

[Sassy_Chick]

Hey all,

I hope you all are doing well today. I am doing a lot better. I injured my arm (long story will share once its all better) but I'm still in good spirits, Leenie you are so right about a positive attitude I've been really trying to keep one and it sure makes a big difference and its amazing how people react to it!

No more snow, yet, I think we're due for more on Sunday though.

So take care and have a Great Weekend!

[Leenie]

Hi Ladies,

Boy oh boy what a hectic day. I will chat some more tomorrow. Have a good night everyone.
