Good Morning,

Happy Monday....boy is it snowing here. Some places are getting 3 - 5 inches

Whats happening by you all ? anything exciting ?


.

Leenie, I'm so jealous. I love snow and it hardly ever snows here anymore. I think it reminds me of being a kid and getting out of school, and also of Christmas. Oh well, the global warming thing is taking care of that.

I need to do something productive today... bills, cleaning, etc. I have no ambition except being lazy and watching TV. It's been a long month already with all the traveling and funeral arrangements. Somebody kick me in the butt!

Hey Ladies,

I just wanted to let you know that Cathy's Mom is home. She came home from the hospital a few days ago. The family is so happy. She has a long way to go before she's back on her feet and running but we can all Thank God she is home and healing peacefully.

Heather girl, I feel the same way, just want to curl up on the couch and watch tv all day.... work keeps me from doing that but it doesn't stop me from feeling like that. Hang in there. Oh...btw, you can have the snow LOL. Actually it stopped by me and its melting yeah !!!!

Morning!

Okay, following my wonderfully lazy weekend, I am into a more regular week again, and the world is looking brighter. Sassy - 12 hours?! I am envious!

Great news to hear Cathy's mom is home!

Okay - today is a laid back day of housecleaning, so I'm off to make a start!

Have a great day all -
Heather

Hello everyone! I'm glad Cathy's mom is home. I hope she gets well soon.

It's been raining non-stop for the past three or four days. It's finally supposed to be sunny starting tomorrow. We've had snow at about 200 feet above us. I can look at the hills across the canyon from our house and see the snowline. We've needed the rain, and it's been fairly good, steady rain. So that is great.

We'll be having 18 people (all in laws and step-in laws) coming to our house for Thanksgiving. The funny thing is, they're all driving from the same town that's about an hour away from us. It would be much easier for us to go there, but we offered our house, and they took us up on it. But like ya'll have said, "It's only one day!" There will be six girls ranging in age from 5-12. I can hear the screeching and giggling already (and the crying and arguing).

My DH decided to share his cold with me, even with him sleeping in a separate room. Fortunately, I don't think mine is as bad as his. My head is still stuffed up, but that's about all. I haven't had to take any medications all day. I think the meds are worse than the symptoms anyway.

My computer at home is currently disassembled, so if I don't log in on Thanksgiving, I hope you all have a great Turkey day. And I hope God blesses you each with love and good health this holiday.

I hope you get to feeling better soon, Sassy. My cold is hanging in there. I attempted to sleep on the couch last night so that I could sleep more sitting up. That didn't work at all. I get sleepy from all cold medicines, even the ones that say 'Non-Drowsy'. I've been trying to not take any because I can't function at work when I take them. I'm glad I have tomorrow and Friday off. I can sleep.

I had two jelly-filled donuts last night on the drive home. (Mmmmm. Donuts.) The rule is to 'feed a cold.' Well, I did. Junk food. I figure if I'm going to feel bad anyway, then I might as well taste something good. I can rationalize anything, especially my bad eating. It's probably going to be another week before I have the energy to work them off. I wonder how many calories are burned with blowing my nose?

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, Chicks!!!!!!!


Hi all,

I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving when you read this...lol. I am yes, at work. Luckiliy this is MY Friday!

When I go home in the morning, I have to bake a Pecan Pie for my FIL, its his favorite. I am trying a new recipe that is from Paula Deen, it has Bourbon in the pie. So maybe it will make my FIL very happy! lmao. Nah its only 2 tbls or something small like that. lol.

DH has already made the sweet potato casserole. Our dinner will be around 5:30 or 6 p.m., mostly because of me, since um I do need some sleep. lmao. Of course maybe I should stay up cuz Turkey makes you sleepy, right? lmao. I can see me crashed in the middle of my Turkey Dinner. lmao.

I've been quite good, if I do say so myself. I've been sticking to it and if I want something, I eat it, only just a small amount. I am making good decisons and I am proud of me. lol. Now just have to work on the exercise part. lol. Even my jeans I put on today are loose! (we get to wear casual wear all week at work )

I talked to my mom lastnight, she is going to get her Doppler Study done and its only going to cost her $48! A Doppler Study in case some of you don't know, is to check how much blockage she has in her artery that is blocked. Her blood pressure is going down and dr is keeping her on her BP meds for now.

The in-laws got my DH a new winter coat and two new belts for his bday/Christmas. (his bday is 12/11) The coat is very nice and it was only $59 or something! That is very good esp for my DH who is 6'8" and a big guy. I just don't understand how he always gets great things like that, that he can use, and I get stupid things that I have to stick in my closet or catches dust. Why can't I get a new coat? LMAO I'm just whining here. I need me some cheese I know. lol. I'm grateful for what they give me, but I would rather have nothing than something that isn't practical, but that is just me. lmao. Plus I know they are on a limited income and I don't want them spending money on me anyways, but my mil is a shopaholic and now that she is disabled she is a home-shopaholic. lol.

Boy I'm just writing a book here. Geez. I guess I should stop now!

Hi Robin, thanks I feel lots better today! I hope you do as well. Yeah I get sleepy with "non" drowsy drugs too, that is why I have to be careful when I take them. lol.
I get off at 7 AM this morning and then I'm off until Monday Night! (my normal nights off)

BIG BIG

No wonder these posts look strange to me, I posted in last weeks thread yesterday haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa duh.

Robin, have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving with those little girls, the sound of their laughter is going to be with you for a long time ENJOY !! Donuts I love them but you know, they are the last junk food I'll turn to....my danger is chocolate, M&M's stuff like that.

Sassy you sound awesome!! its good to hear that your in good spirits. I love Paula Dean, last year I made her pecan bars....... OMG were they freaking good.... I hope your FIL likes the pie...if not, send it to me Have a great Holiday.

Hello all - hope all my American friends had a LOVELY Thanksgiving!!

I think I was pretending it was Thanksgiving here, too - again! - as the DEVIL came shopping with me today and when I got home I found a Cranberry-Pecan Crostata in my shopping! Now how DID that get there??? I am currently overdosing on sugar... well... bah. I shall run tomorrow, and drink lots of water Sometimes you have to splurge... or binge, in my case. At least I can laugh about it - it can ONLY be temporary! I have come too far for it not to be.

Chat soon - thinking of you all!
Heather

Good Morning,

Hey Heather, good to see you I agree, you've come to far to start going backwards... I love reading your ticker

Joanne, I don't know why guys have it easier...it seems with everything my DH can drop weight by just cutting a smidgen out of his daily intake... Me?? I have to eat 1200 which is nothing LOL oh well. Good luck when DS comes home, you know you can count on us for prayers....it will certainly be a big adjustment for all.

Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving. When we got home from the inlaws I put my outdoor christmas decorations up. The weather was beautiful yesterday. Today its cleaning, putting away fall decorations and getting ready for the

How about you chicklets.... TGIF

Hello Chicks.

Well I didn't have all those calories. My dinner sucked. But I guess it was good because I didn't over indulge! lol. FIL loved his pie and infact asked for a piece of it instead of MIL's cherry! Made my night! lol.

Well I am off to bed cuz I am tired and grumpy right now.......(I'll admit it!) lol.

Ta Ta!
