Morning all!

I overslept today, so I feel like I'm rushing everywhere!

:welcome: ravengirl! I glad you joined the chat! If you've been reading, you know that these are some of the BEST ladies on the forum - very supportive!

Sassy - :lol: you sound like me - people start being nice to me at work and I start looking behind me all the time and trying to figure out what they're planning! Any chance you and DH will end up on the same shift then, if they change his? That would be cool.

Jerzy - eek, you are busy gal! Wowsa!

Hope - ahhh.... B&N. Sometimes when I really hate my job I dream of chucking it and going to work there. I used to work at B Dalton (same co.) and absolutely loved it. Seriously, they paid me to be around books all day. Sigh.

Francie - oh, man. I gotta go find a link a friend of mine sent me of a male bellydancer. He was amazingly good, but it made me crack up! I used to b-dance, but as with just about everything else I enjoyed I dropped it when my depression got really bad.

Woops, gotta go - calculus is calling!

Jerzy~Wow..remember to schedule in some "me" time for yourself.

Hope~Good luck with the jobs!!! I love B&N!! I thought about applying there once..but I figured I would spend too much time looking at books for myself then actually working, lol.

Raven~:wave: Sorry about your FIL :hug:

Amarie~I would love to see the male belly dancer!! LoL!! I hope you start b-dancing again. It could help..



Okay, I just woke up..so nothing much to say, lol. I'm thinking of grabbing some yogurt and reading my book on the couch in a little bit...OoO..my shows FINALLY come back on tonight!! So I'm very excited about that. :D

Hi everyone!

Not much to report from this end. Just wanted to pop in and say Hi!

Think I may take B to the after hours clinic after school as she is on week three of a migraine and A informed me this morning that B got dizzy and had to grab the rail while going down the stairs at school yesterday. Plus she took 12 extra strength tylenol yesterday, not good. I wish she would let me know how bad things are and let me see if we could get some extra help. I'm expecting C to not be feeling so great when she gets home either as its the "milk run" at lunch and she is insisting on running in it. So I would expect her broken toe will be hurting some when she is done even though we taped it really well this morning. She did go back to judo last night, but they just practiced arm bars. At least the sun is trying to shine and I think we are above freezing! I sure hope these unseasonable cold temps are over with.

Anyway I should get going I'm dealing with my own headache today and I have a few things I have to do before I can "check out"

Take care everyone and have a wonderful day!

OK - here's the link to the male b-dancer that my friend sent. I have no idea what is being said as I don't speak the language, but the dancing is pretty awesome.

I'm off - see yas tomorrow!

okay my day so far:

8-3:30 school
3:30-4:45 meeting with peeps about website
5:30-7:30 school picnic

I might go to a friends for t.v. But that's at 9 and I wouldn't get home until 11:30. I don't think I have that in me!

Weekend is also busy, but with friends so should be fun.

I am considering parking on this couch all night....although...eek! I have to clean for the houseguests this weekend.

:dizzy:

OMG!!! LoL!! That is slighty disturbing, lol. I rather watch Shakira belly dance, lol.


This guy is pretty good too!!

Hi Girlies!
 

Sassy~That is a nice scooter!!!!! Btw, I like the Minnie Mouse. She's always been my fave.


Well..last night I wrote out my workout plan for the next 2 months. It pretty much starts the day Fonzo leaves. Heres how it looks (I wont go into total detail like I did on paper, lol)

Monday: WATP The 3 Mile Walk
Tuesday: TBL Power Sculpt
Wednesday: Core Ball
Thursday: Walk Slim
Friday: 30 Day Shred
Sat: Meditation
Sun: Day of rest (with some light outside walking)

I'm pretty excited about working out now!!

Morning!

Francie - awesome wkout schedule! I'm very impressed!

Sassy - bosses suck that way sometimes. Pooh. Great news on the job lead for DH, though!

Well, just when I was feeling like the scale was going to start moving in the right direction again, I had a total blow-out last night. I made a box of hamburger helper and ate it all. All "5" servings. Sigh. I even kept eating when it hurt - yeah thats healthy. Ugh. See, its not so much that I overate that bothers me, its that I ate when I wasn't hungry and knew it would cause pain. Sorry to vent here, but I know you guys will understand my struggle. I appreciate y'alls support. :grouphug:

Laters, my lovelies!

Thanks for the warm welcome Guys... Ugh, I feel wretched this morning...stomach slightly upset, start of a headache, and just tired. Oh...and guess what I did? I got my coffee pot all ready to go last night with one little thing missing....the COFFEE! So, I got to make my drive this morning with no coffee... I think I want to crawl back in bed...

Amarie~Dont feel bad about it. :hug: It happens to all of us. I ate an entire bag of salt & vinegar chips a few days ago. Then later that night, went to the movies w/Fonzo and ate the whole large bag of buttered popcorn by myself. I wasnt even hungry and I knew I shouldnt have been eating that. I felt that my punishment was feeling sick for the rest of the night. You are not alone, okay? :hug:

Raven~That sucks about the coffee.



Since I already have my workout plan. I'm gonna move on to my diet plan. Is it bad if I just buy Lean Cuisine?? I HATE cooking..especially in the summer when its really hot & stuffy in here. I mean...I'll buy fruits and veggies too..but for dinner, I just want Lean Cuisine. I plan on cutting out sweets. Thats my biggest thing. I'll just have to stock up on a TON of fruit. I think sunday will be my free day to eat chocolate. I cant give up chocolate. I'll be all alone, and will need some kind of comfort, lol. I dunno...maybe I wont give up low fat frozen yogurt either. I gotta think about this some more, lol.

Well..I'm gonna go make some lunch and watch one of the movies from Lifetime that I recorded. Fonzo has duty today, so its my chick flick day!! WooHoo!!

Francie - :) :hug: Thanks. Have a great chick flick day! I don't see anything wrong at all with lean cuisine - and if you want to up the nutritional value you can always chuck in some extra frozen veggies. Have a good one!

Raven - seriously? No coffee? Eek :yikes: that so sounds like somwthing I would do.

Right now my cocker spaniel is asleep with her head on my hip - ahhhh so sweet!

Good Morning ;)

The shore was awesome, we had a good time (here's some sunrise pictures taken yesterday, point pleasant beach NJ).

My doggie isn't doing well, she's 13+. Her tummy is all bloated and she can barely walk so I have to take her to the vet today...it doesn't look good (she has cancer), she's not eating her dog food but will take a bite of chicken, thats about it. If they say to put her down I'll have to wait until DH comes home b/c I just can't do it. The 4th picture is my Susie :cry:

Anyway.. it does feel good to be home, I hate hotels lol, never can sleep in them lol.

How are you chickies?

Hey Guys! Feeling better today! Yay!

Shop & Amarie: Yeah, the coffee thing was brutal...I couldn't believe that I did that! Really set a poor tone for the rest of my day! And it didn't need to get worse believe me!

Leenie: Aww man...so sorry about your dog... They get into your heart and just don't let go...they are so worth it but it is sooooo hard! Big hugs!

My weigh in this morning was ugly...I am refusing to change my ticker! Temper tantrum? Maybe... :) But, I feel like I am retaining water and if you really want to know my weigh in stuff I added a page to my blog to keep track of it even when I don't want to face it!

Sassy~Take some meds and I hope you feel better soon :hug: Yes, I noticed Minnie was holding a strawberry, lol. She's too cute. You know, I still have my first ever Minnie Mouse. My mom bought her at the Disneyland Hotel when I was 3. Most kids have comfort blankets, I have a a comfort MM & teddy bear, lol. I take them with me everywhere, lol (well, not so much anymore). They were the first things I packed when I moved here. Only, I made the mistake of washing them..and Minnie lost her bow. So now she looks like Mickey in drag, LOL!!

Leenie~Soooo very sorry about your dog :( That just breaks my heart so much. I can imagine what you're going through. Its very sad when pets pass away...

Raven~I dont have a ticker for that very reason, LOL!!!


Anyways...Fonzo is home for the weekend. YAY!! But he's gonna sleep saturday away. He worked allllllll day long yesterday and he's tired. I'm gonna go make myself some lunch and watch a movie..lol.

hey leenie
i am so very sorry about your dog!
i am sending you great big cyber hugs
hugs & more hugs,
:hug:
cathy

Thanks girls, its been a hard day. Susie is still with us, but she's having a hard time walking. We will probably call the vet tomorrow. She did eat, poop and pee so thats good but it is just a matter of time :(

Have a good evening :hug:

Thank You All. :hug:

I do feel a bit better today, still not quite 100%, but better, so I plan on doing nothing tonight and just relaxing and watching some tv..........Still kinda blue, but I'll survive.....lol.

Leenie -- BIG :hug: hon. I lost my cat, Puddy last year, he was 10 yrs old and it broke my heart, he went into Kidney Failure and was in extreme pain and so we had to put him down....:cry: Big Big :hug:

Francie -- :lol3: at "Mickey in Drag" :lol3: I have a very cute and soft bear and my "Buddy" dog (that is his name on his tag) that DH got me, both on valentines day, different valentines days of course........


Take care all!

:hug:

:grouphug: Leenie :grouphug: So sorry about Susie. She is a beautiful dog. I hope you both find peace. Losing a family member is hard. I'll say a prayer for her and your family. :hug:

Oh, Leenie. I lost my childhood dog to cancer two years ago. We still grieve for her. It's not an easy thing. We had to put her down and her good nature made us never realize how uncomfortable she was with her tumors. Please post here or PM if you need more lovin' because I've been there. It ain't easy. We're here for ya! :listen:

Thanks Girls :hug: its nice to be in a place where people care and understand.

Susie went for a walk this morning (tiny) and ate some chicken, she seems in better spirits... we will take it one day at a time.

Other than that, nothing much is new.... work is so busy and I don't get to do personals like I like to :( but I do read every post.... its my job ;) hehehe

Rainy here..... can't complain, we had a nece few days of sunshine this week.

How is everyone?

HI all :wave:

Gosh, I haven't been here in ages, and I've been so low that this was probably where I needed to be...

Welcome to all the new faces; Hope, I am so sorry I missed your birthday!! Happy belated, sweetie :hug:

Leenie - I am thinking of you at this difficult time.

I am busy with my new job now, but struggling every day at home. I am not running, but I have a plan to get back at it this week - I've had a horrid cold for days now, which makes everything that little bit harder. :rolleyes: I don't really know where my life is going to lead me over the next few months, but I'm still here.

I hope you are all hanging in there - I've missed you. :grouphug:

Heather

:carrot: Good to finally see you Heather!! :carrot: Yes, you should be in here where you are cared about. We missed you lots. :hug:


My memory isn't what it should be but Shop, isn't today your birthday?
If so...:celebrate::bday2you::celebrate: Hope you have a wonderful day.



if not...:o.

Leenie :hug: so sorry about your Susie.

Hey Heather good to see you. Are you working full time?

Sassy glad you are feeling better.

Hope, Cathy, Shop, Raven, Jerzy, Amarie :wave:

Picked up our new washer and dryer yesterday, talk about a workout trying to get them into the house. I did give them a workout yesterday tho as I had to do five loads! The washer sure is different as its a high effeciency one and a front loader. The first load had the kids sitting on the floor watching! (us to:o)
Sadly thats all the news I have.
Made the mistake of watching the news and reading the paper and am now feeling like there isn't much point to things. I have to smarten up and consentrate on the good things in this life that God has given us and have faith that He will make things right again.

Well I should go.

Take care all and have a wonderful Sunday,
K

Good morning Chickies!!!

Argh! The new post secrets aren't up! :) I love postsecret.com...even though some of them really disturb me... But hey, I am sitting here savoring my coffee and other than a small temper tantrum about head hunger last night I am feeling good! :) The plan? Hopefully get some sort of workout in...meditate...maybe finish the book that I am reading and pick DD up from her friend's house...nothing too ambitious!

Heather: Good to see you around...we haven't talked but like I had said...I have been reading for a long time...and I know what the pit is like...

Leenie: Glad to hear the puppy is feeling even a little better...sometimes that is all you can ask

Buddly: There is always a point, even if it isn't clear all the time...I am a huge LOTR rings fan...you should replay Sam's speech at the end of Two Towers and think about it... I know it is a movie, but sometimes art imitates life...

Hugs to everyone I forgot!!! :)

Just stopping by really quickly.

I played some Wii games for 2 hours yesterday and my arms are freakin killing me, lol. But its like a good pain, I dunno.

The downstairs monsters were mowing there lawn not too long ago..and we had our window open. So now my nose is runny and my head is stuffed and I cant stop sneezing. Ughhh I feel like crap.

Leenie~I said a little prayer for your dog last night :hug:

Heather~:wave: Hi!!

Hope~Actually my bday is on tuesday. But thanks anyway!! It made me smile.

Buddly~I love having a new washer & dryer..lol. Its always a pain to get them inside though.

Raven~Whats postsecret.com?



Well..I'm gonna go spend my last sunday with Fonzo. And try to find some allergy meds. Happy Sunday all!!! BBL

Hi ladies! I've been busy busy this weekend - got my sod in!

Leenie - :hug: I am sorry that Susie is having a hard time. :hug: I can't quite seem to come up with words. Thank you for loving her and giving her a place in your heart and your family - you've given her what every dog wants most in life. My Cleo is getting very old and I know how hard this is for you - I've rehearsed what I'll have to do over and over, but its not EVER going to be easy. Take care sweetie.

I'll pop in later - gotta go make dinner. :grouphug:

Woo hoo! The new secrets are up! Hey Shop, it is actually http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/ and basically it is this guy...I am not quite sure how it got started, I think it was originally an art project, where he invited people to send him secrets that noone else knew on post cards and he would publish some on his website. There has been several books of compilations of postcards and I think he still goes around giving lectures and stuff at schools. He still posts several of the post cards that he gets every Sunday... I always go look at them...they will give you the whole gamut of emotion... Some will make you happy, sad, angry, incredulous, the whole thing...
