Good Morning,

Boy what a soggy morning, this nor easter has really done some damage here in the NJ / NY area. NJ is under a state of emergency OY. My DH's shop is at least 4 feet under water and its not even over with. Took me 2 hours to get to work today b/c of all the flooded streets and lots of folks called in b/c their basements are under water... uhhh. Hope you all are doing okay.

I'll try to stop in later

good morning gang

wow Leenie - the weather sounds awful up there! y'all be careful and stay safe! It is 40 degrees and beautiful here today. why don't ya fly on down and spend the day with me ;-)

we've been busy - just way too busy. I haven't walked (for exercise) since the time change and I'm draggin big time. I gotta figure something out. I may just have to start walking during my lunch hour again, but I haven't been taking a lunch hour *sigh* but I gotta make some time for myself. It's just been one thing after the other around here.

I hope everybody is well and that everyone has a blessed day!
hugs,
Cathy

Cathy I'm so glad to see you fly to you? i'd love it but no planes are leaving so it would be quite some time b/4 I'd get to your sunshine I'm with ya on finding time for ourselves...uhhh.

Our one plant is closing b/c they are afraid people won't be able to make it home...thats how bad it is here...oy... wish we'd close.

Well kiddies... ttyl

hugs,
cathy

wow leenie,I am up in canada and we didnt get it that bad.lol you poor girl,
I work at the hospital so I have to go to work.But even some of our Nurses couldnt get through the weather this morning.we are just starting to deal with the water part of the storm now,the heavey snow has turned into rain so all the snow plus the rain=trouble.
cathy, can I go to.

Hang in there leenie.

Leenie! Sorry to hear about the nasty weather and flooding!

On a good note, my FIL came home today!

Not much else going on I'm afraid. lol.

Take Care all!

Hi everyone!

Leenie be careful with the storms.

Hi Cathy I was wondering where you were.

Sassy thats great news about your FIL! How is your MIL doing, has the dizziness left? I'm sure she will feel better with her other half at home with her.

Hi debbie, we had rain turn to snow today, but not much, just enough to cover everything and make everything a big mess.

Well its been a long monday! and I even got a nap in (I was folding laundry on the bed and put my head down oops!) Saturday went really well. We drove to the shop and dropped the van off. They got done a lot sooner than they said. When we went to pick it up, the guy asked if we had recently had any fuel work done, we said that yes we had the fuel filter changed four weeks ago, so he asked where it was done, when we told him that they did it, he then told us it was no charge. I guess they didn't put a clamp back on or it broke or something, I don't know I'm just pleased it was something so simple and didn't cost us a fortune. Anyway other than that nothings new. I did get a little bit of a walk in while waiting for C in judo, as for eating, well I don't know, I think I did alright, I do know I could have done a lot worse!

Well take care all and have a wonderful Tuesday, only four more days till the weekend

Hi Girls,

Things are okay here, DH's shop got 4 feet of water... we are okay nonetheless. Rain stopped yesterday but we are going to get some showers here and there w/in the next couple of days.

Sorry I can't stay, I'm so busy at work its sick !!!

Luv yah's and I will be back tomorrow to catch up with you all.

Take 60 seconds to do this, I guarantee you will show someone else, it's too funny not to.

1. go to www.google.com
2. click on "maps"
3. click on "get directions"
4. type "New York" in the first box (the "from" box)
5. type "London" in the second box (the "to" box)
6. scroll down to step #23 on the list of directions on the left panel

I am VERY amused....hehe!

Howdy Girls!

Yes FIL is home! DH called him today and he is feeling better and so is my MIL! On a downside, now my hubby is feeling under the weather and FIL thinks it could be the beginning of whatever he had. (they never did figure out what it was he had, but they did say it was viral so now we all could get it!) So I am having DH call the dr. in the morning, just to be safe!

Well nice weather has come back to visit with us. For how long? Who knows! But my back isn't killing me like it has been!

Have any of you ever heard of a nervous stomach? I think that is what I have and I think I "inherited" it from my dear sweet mother. It seems whenever we are stressed, we can't eat anything without feeling nauseous. Where as I could stand to lose some weight, for sure and it did happen to me in HS, I ended up losing 50 pds. because I just could not eat much at all. But after the stress was over with, yup you guessed it, weight came back + some.

So I may schedule an appt. w/ the dr. too. I swear I need a "stomach transplant" and I would like one of those tiny skinny model's stomach's please! lol.

Anywho, I need to clean, but guess what: I don't wanna!

Everybody please take care!

Good Morning,

Sassy, I'm glad FIL is home ohhh about the teeny model stomach..they can stretch too ya know I just hope you have a healthy stomach. The google thing was so funny LOLOL who would have known that you'd have to do THAT to get to london lol.

Buddly glad your car situation turned out for the better. I wonder why he gave it to you as a freebie? did his brother work at the other place LOLOL

Well girlies, I gotta run... bbl

ALL IS GOOD !!!

Hi all - I'll admit I am laying low... this gray, nasty, un-spring-like weather has knocked me back. I am still eating well, and DRAGGED my butt out of the house yesterday for my 2.5K walk, but it was a hard slog.

I moved from England to GET AWAY from this weather!! Okay, we're not flooding here, and my thoughts are with everyone on the East Coast, but sheesh! Roll On Spring, already!!! These past few days just make me want to hide under the computer desk and cry. I feel tired (and get plenty of sleep), miserable (although things are going well) and bloated and unattractive... well, I guess those last two are just side-effects of everything else.

Ohh, what a moan. That's twice this morning now - I think I'll cut it out and check back in later when I feel better about the world!

Leenie - hope your DH's shop is clearing without too much damage!

Buddly - glad things worked out!

Sassy - wonderful news about your FIL - what a relief! Let us know what the doc has to say about your 'nervous stomach'...

Cathy, Debbie, big atcha girls!

Have a good day, peeps!
Heather

Good Morning all

Just popping in to say hello!! Nothing new and nothing going on here. The sun is trying to peek out so thats good.

Leenie, Hope your DH's shop all dried out and things are getting better.

Sassy I'm so glad to hear that your in-laws are doing better, what a relief for you.

Heather hope your day gets better. I'm glad we are getting a bit of sun this am, even tho the ground is all frozen, but as my dd says, at least the frost makes the mud in the driveway hard so we don't sink.

Well I'm off see what I can do.

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day,
K

Hi all. Sorry I've been so slack this week. My fiance has been home with me a lot and we've done some running around so I haven't visited. I was also last minute with my taxes yesterday. You would think with all this time on my hands they would have been done months ago. Again, depression and no motivation won that battle.

I've also been pre-occupied with the VA Tech tragedy. That was where I got my B.S. in psychology (go figure). The first shooting was in my dorm where I stayed my freshman year. Very upsetting and tragic.

Don't know if I mentioned b4 but my dog also had pneumonia and now is seeming much better since we are treating that also. She has her next checkup Friday am. >$700 later..... She is worth it for sure but really didn't need this expense being out of work.

Hope all of you dealing with the weather problems are doing O.K. It's been VERY windy here in VA. It will actually blow the poor dog (only 6 lbs) across the patio.

Sassy: glad the family is doing better.

Check in again later. Have a great day!

Ok gals ,remember I said that after all the snow rain would come and then trouble....well I didnt mean to me but it did.The city sewers backed up and like leenies DH,my basement flooded.not as much but about 6inches everywhere of raw sewage!!!!!

well the first thing my dog does is jump right in,look mom we have an indoor pool.you know how dogs are when they get water on them she was running and rolling all over the house and plopped her wet *** on my bed. now remember this is the dog that doesnt like the rain.So insurance cleaners have been here ripping carpet out and cutting out drywall in the rec room,They have to use some special kind of sanitizer after and it has to dry for a week.I have half my stuff in the garage for the insurance people to see half out in the driveway.It looks like fred sanfords junk yard.In the end we will have new carpet fresh paint new furniture.I wanted to remodel anyway but without this crap (teehee)
I am glad everyone elses luck seems to be turning around
Sassy that is too funny.
take care ladies.
