Weekly Chat ~ March 19 -25
 

good morning chickadees :wave:

how was everybody's weekend? mine was good but it went by way too fast!

Sassy - how are you feeling today? I hope you didn't come down with a bug!

Leenie - when you have a minute tell me a little about your cooking on Sunday for the week. Do you cook it and then put it in plates and freeze so you just warm it up like that on the night you're eating it? or how do you do that? I've never tried cooking for the week so I'm curious.

Well I have tons of work to do and I'm thinking about going and picking up a new computer for work today and tackling "the transfer". iiiiii yii yi yi :p but it's got to be done. I've been putting it off.

Hope everybody has a blessed day!
hugs,
Cathy

Good Morning,

Hi Cathy, good to see ya and so chipper ;) New puter huh... good luck.
It really depends on what I cook. This week I made a whole bunch of chicken legs (cooked in the oven), stuffing, a macaroni dish with ground beef and spag sauce, mixed veggies and some acorn squash. I just cook it and put it all in the frig, so when we come home we just dish a portion out and heat it up. I also sliced some zucchini up and I'll sautee that tonight but at least when I get home its all ready. If I make a big batch of something i might freeze some.

Well today's another busy one :( so my chicklets, I must go.

Breakfast today is coffee and whole wheat teeny bagel w/sf jelly :D
Lunch - salad
Dinner see above LOL ;)

TOODLES

Well I started walking my son to school again today. It is finally warm enough to do that again. It was fun. My mom picked me up at the school after I walked him there, then we went to my sisters house to do aerobics (it is more toning than real aerobic workout) then she dropped me off at my house and I am about ready to head out again to go pick him up from school. I will get about 6 miles in today. It feels good to be walking again. I just love the feel of it.

I lost another pound last week, so I am still doing well on that end.

Well I will talk to you all later it is good to see both Cathy and Leenie that you are doing well.

Off I go.

Trish

Good Morning,

Trish 6 Miles :fr: thats awesome !!!!!! I'm lucky if I get 1 LOL (pretty sad eh).
You go girl, and congrats on the 1 lb down WHOOT!

Well its happy happy tuesday :D

Nothing much happening in Leenie Land, sosdd. Just trying to behave and watch the calories sigh.

The pain from my knee and finger arthritis kept me awake last night. I can't take anti-inflam's so I'm caught between a rock and a hard place... better days will come :D Hurry summer LOL (it hurt b/c of the rain).

Anyway, I will talk to you all later, have a BLESSED day and enjoy.

Love Yah's
Leenie

I'm having one of those frazzly days, ya know. My head's going a mile a minute in incomplete thoughts but I'm weary and can't get started with anything but the computer isn't busy enough. It's weird almost like a coiled energy that I won't be able to control if it blows.

I think I'll try a walk or some crafting ... another focus, ya know?

UGH. We went over our friends yesterday and they had just gotten over being bad sick. I was careful and didn't touch anything there and barely even moved from where I was sitting. As soon as I came home I washed my hands really good, but I still got it I think. :(

I took some tylenol pm's lastnight because DH said I was warm and I was very achy, still am. I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon and really don't want too, but DH ordered me some egg drop soup, so I will try that, but I'm scared to even eat that.

I'm going to take some Dayquil and lay down on the futon and watch tv.

I hope you all are doing well! ;)

:hug:

Hello ladies! thank you for the warm welcome from my post last week. sorry I didn't get here sooner to say hi again.

Nice and sunny here today, but it was cold last night! 2 below zero. Come on warm weather!

hope you all have a good day :hug:

hey gang :wave:
just dropping in to say HI to the gang.
i'm trying to get my new computer set up
be back when i can
later gaters :)

Hey all, I'm still alive and kicking yet! lol.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. ;)

Hi girls,

Its been a crazy week for us all huh :)

Sassy, feel better :hug:

Holly its good to see you. I'm jealous of your sunny weather. Its drab and gray in Jersey... can't wait for the summer, we're all going stir crazy.

Cathy :dizzy: buzzy girl ? lol

Well nothing much is going on, sosdd. Trying to eat right but its just not working... calorie wise that is :( but todays a new day.

Any good plans for the weekend?

Well I got out and enjoyed walking for a couple of days and then the weather turned bad again. I have just decided to enjoy it when I can and not dwell when I can't. I am still doing aerobics at my sisters so that is going well. But boy is it nice to get out into the fresh air and really spend time enjoying it. When I was a kid I always spent most of my time outside. Since I have grown I do less than that. I am not really sure why, but I enjoy it when I do. My DH and I have decided that this summer we are going to buy a national parks pass so that we will have more of an excuse to go hiking. I live in Southeast Idaho so there are lots of parks around and not very far away. We both love hiking so I think this will really motivate us. We both were backpackers etc. I think it will be fun for us this summer and do us a lot of good. Not just physically but mentally also to get out in the nice sun and just enjoy life.

Sassy I hope that you feel better soon. I hate to be sick.

Cathy and Leenie - You girls are always so busy.

Holly glad to see you back. Have a great one.

Well talk to you later.

Trish

Hi everyone!:wave:

Goodness this week is sure flying by. Everyone seems so busy!!
Trish congrats on the exercise!
Sassy, hope you are feeling better.
Susan I sure hope you are having a better day, I hate it when my head won't shut off, besides that I get dizzy as I literally go around in circles trying to figure out what I'm doing:dizzy:
Leenie and Cathy take it easy!
Hi Holly!

Over the weekend B, C, my sister and I went to Edmonton, about a seven hours drive east of us, so that C could compete in a judo competition there. We had and are still having a lot of snow with slippery roads. C lost her two fights, but she had fun and didn't get injured, so thats the important thing. We got home Sunday night and I promptly got sick. Spent all of Monday in bed with a bucket:rolleyes: I did the same thing when we got back from her Abbotsford tournament, so I'm wondering if its just stress. Anyway everything is fine now other than this lousy weather!! And I am so happy that I get to spend today at home. B needs some PJ pants, so I dug out some flannel and I'm hoping to get a pair made and surprise her, but I wanted to come here first. I also need to work on thier curtains as B and C want to paint their bedroom over spring break.
Yesterday I picked up a wardrobe that I ordered in January, so I guess this weekend will be busy putting it together and finally hanging up and hiding clothes. Its been tough not having a proper closet for the last few months. (the addition we moved our bedroom into was suppose to be the family room, but with A's friend moving in we needed an extra bedroom more!)

Anyhow I should go before I spend all afternoon on here.

Take care everyone,
K

It does help to have nice weather the odd day, doesn't it? I'm still feeling very flat ... but I have walked everyday. It's not easy to get ready and get out there ... but I'm always glad I did.

Hey Everybody -- I feel a lot better, thanks for the well wishes! :D :D

I hope you all are doing great!

:hug:

Note to self ... a couple of drinks does not help.

TGIF and Good Morning,

Trish dont you just love the fresh air, especially after a loooong winter. I actually walked to work w/out my coat today... its 50 out and it feels soooo nice. Enjoy hicking ;)

Buddly, thats wonderful that you can sew. I always wished i had more time to do the things I love like sewing, crafts, stuff like that. Do you make quilts?

Sassy I'm glad your feeling better. So many people here at work are very very ill, I mean sick for like a week or more with fevers and such. I just pray I don't catch it.

Susan, hang in there !!!! and your right a couple of drinks usually doesn't help... or a couple of burger, or pieces of cake.. etc... :hug:

TGIF TGIF !!!! I'm so glad its FRIDAY!!!! and with this warm spell I'm just soooo happy.

Anyone planning an exciting weekend?

There are some nasty bugs going around this winter and folks don't seem to be able to shake them off easily.

I had a nice little midday meal today which is an improvement over the last few days. I've felt kinda teary almost a coupla times today ... tired but resisting the urge to nap. I intend to be tired at bedtime and sleep!

I also had a beautiful walk. That Spring sunshine is amazing!

Hi girlies

Just popping in really fast..gotta take Mom to the store.

BBL have a great day ;)

Good Morning everyone! :wave:

Thankgoodness that week is over. Poor hubby is stuck working today, but at least he is in town and will be home this afternoon.
I'm hoping we are done with snow for this winter, it rained most of yesterday and who knows what today will bring.
B is going out this evening as it is one of her friends birthday. She made peanut butter cups for her last night. I guess the week caught up to C as well as last night after her judo practice and run she snuggled up to me on the couch and promptly fell asleep. I don't even know if she got any dinner. (she is super picky and I just did leftovers with additions so she would normally just find herself something)
I have to run to town and do a few errands and pick up some groceries, so that will kill today.

Leenie I don't quilt, I just don't have the patience to do something that big. Actually I hate saying that I can sew as I never really learned how. My mom gave me a sewing machine when I was 18, then when my girls were little I started making a few clothes for them. That evolved into polar fleece jackets and now costumes for their anime conventions (I have to make three powerpuff girl costumes this year).I also made A's prom dress. B says I fake it really well, I say its a lot of praying to the "patron saint of sewing":D

Susan I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. Can't really beat a nice walk in the fresh air and sunshine.

Well I should go,
Take care everyone and have a wonderful weekend,
K

That's funny. I fake all kinds of crafting. Give it a shot, what the heck!

I do feel better. It's really good for me to have something to do ... like work. I run into aimless blah's when I'm home alone too many days in a row. And yes, walking helps ... almost as much as my medication most days I think.

Hi Girls,

Nothing much going on today, just laundry, cleaning, etc.

My neice is here and is asking for breakfast so I must go, sorry for the short one today.

HUGS AND KISSES !!!
