Hey..what's with this "senior member" title? I am not that old!

[Sassy_Chick]

Hi Chicks!!!

Well we stopped at the farm up the road from my in-laws Tuesday Morning and got some corn on the cob and DH got a huge seedless watermelon. So DH had corn on the cob ready for me when I woke up and rotisserie chicken. It was so good!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH the power went off here at work twice before I came into work tonight, (I guess it was storming earlier) well I guess the air conditioning did not come back on and we don't have any "windows" that open up either! So we're all here sweatin' to death! Not my idea of weight loss! lol. Why did I take a shower before I came in again? lol.

I hope you all are doing well and are COOL! lol.

Hello girlies!!!

Cin - nice to meet you! I, too am a once-a-pon-a-time 3fcer who came back! I'm new to these neck of the woods, though, since you've been gone. Haha, senior is as senior does.

Sassy - mmmmm rotiserrie chicken! Is your hubby for rent?

Hope -can't wait to hear about your trip!!

Raven -aw hun, I'm so sorry about your ankle - I totally abused mine as a kid, so I know how easily (and seriously) it can go out at very little provocation. Hope it heals well and soon.

Leenie -

Mof4, buddly, francie, cathy etal - I hope your week is going well!

Ok. Time for a confession - I went out for a drink with friends tonight, and ended up over-induldging. I drink so rarely that it really effects me. Anyway, I'm killikg time in the retaurant lounge (with a glass of water thank you very much) 'til I can either safely drive home or my other friend is off work down the street to come drive me and my car home. I'm such a light-weight, but I take getting behind the wheel VERY seriously...

Hope everyone is doing well!

I felt like a hag yesterday bec I didn't get up and walk, so after work I went home and warmed up left overs for the guys and I walked 3 miles. Then I had cucumbers and watermelon for supper

This morning I feel great bec I got up early and did 3 miles again!. I feel completely different when I get my walking in first thing!

Leenie - I hope you're having a great week!

Amarie - how's the painting going? are you finished yet? and congrats on not getting behind the wheel after a drink! I wish everyone would do that!

Ravengirl - sounds like you've been exercising too! YOU GO GIRL! oops I just read about your ankle! dang, i hope it gets better! that can be so painful!

Hey Shop - that is awesome that you are giving your hair to Locks of Love. a lot of the girls in our youth have done that lately too. it's an awesome thing!

Morning!

A little groggy this morning, but pleasantly headache-free, so maybe I didn't overdo it as much as I thought. Not long after I posted my friend got off work and we sat and chatted for a while. I was so tired... I was prob'ly asleep within like 10 min of getting home. Anyway, happy Wednesday!

[momof4under5]

Feeling Good...Didnt get in much excercise yesterday. I actually did not do much of anything. I did try to find some stuff for our vacation.

I really want to be away at the beach my bday is during or vacation so my husband said if thats what I want to do then thats what we will do. Just have to do it on limited funds since I didnt plan ahead for this. Next year that is what income tax goes for. I want to go to the beach every year. Its good for my husband to have a chance to just relax and worry about nothing other than that. When he is home he thinks he has to be working on something or over at the church working on youth stuff. So I feel it is important to be away for him and for me. Cause then I know he will truly relax..I mean as much as possible with the monkeys of ours running around!!

I am going to go get on the excercise stuff. I wanted to swim last night but a skunk was out there so oh no i wasnt going out there!! I am really trying to get the laundry room free of all the boxes cause then I can put it all out there nice and neat. instead of it in the MESSY play room and stuff...so that's my goal for the week

Foster dd had court hearing the judge ordered her to have over nights here and be discharged in August. The overnights are great but hard on everyone cause we get used to her being her and she gets used to being her and she said it makes her more homesick cause she knows she has to go back at the end of the weekend. So hopefully that will go fast!!

OHHHH yeah I know that it paid off for me to take some time out of things because it was my tuesday (dh & I rotate) to go to prayer meeting. Well I prayed for a while in the youth rm for them. Then When we went upstairs it was just sooo peaceful in there. No one wanted to leave or move or anything. I felt so renewed and refreshed and just at peace. It was just wonderful!

Boys had dentist appts today...NO CAVITIES!!! My 5yr old was disappointed this dentist office doesnt give them toothbrush's. I took all of them and snacks. So while those two went back I fed snacks to the girls and they were good. No fits...all the girls that worked there kept watching them I felt like I was on stage or something..LOL...They were laughing and awwwing at the girls and how cute they were and........yeah....On the way in an older lady was coming out she was like "oh you got your hands full"...I always get that or "are they all yours" or "Bless you" the one youth girl that was helping watch 3 of my kids monday while we painted, when I came in, she was like Your my Hero. I was like why shes like cause I dont know how you do this everyday...HAHA...It cracks me up...Yeah you guys get to see my everyday issues and when I am pulling my hair out....HAHAHA....I am good at looking all together most of the times...HAHAHA boy do i got them fooled..HAHAHA

MeA-what do I say to you.....that is good you didnt drive!! Sorry you are soo groggy this morning but it must mean you didnt over do it and stayed somewhat controlled!!!

Cathy- I love cucumbers for lunch i got my kids hooked on them


Sassy-Yep I am staying cool...have the air on me as I speak ....HAHAHAHAHA...So by the time the night was over how much weight did you lose?? Hope everyone wore their deodorant or that would be one stinky place!!! Oh and yeah now I am hungry for chicken..thanks a lot!! We had these super juicy pork chops from the grill last night ohhhh they were sooooo goood!!!!

CIN-Welcome back...Yeah I signedup a long time ago and came back at the beg. of the year...hopefully your gonna stay a while!!

Raven- That stinks about your ankle...I messed mine up a few years ago and once in a while it swells up...sprains usually take longer than brakes to heal (IS IT BREAK OR BRAKE???BRAIN FART!!!)

Buddly-that is the approach I am taking on excercise to every 5 minutes I can get in here or there is better than nothing and will add up!!!

Hope-you will have to catch us up!!!

Shop- you made me think about that too I have been debating chopping all my hair off cause its too thick and i was thicking about doing that too...I am having a hard time parting with my long hair. It bugs me sometimes but its sooo beautiful. But in the summer all i can do with it is keep it up sooo I dont know gotta decide I guess....I am the type that I will just be in a mood i am tired of it and like I am cutting it and go do it. I cant schedule appts cause then I like chicken out!!

leenie--hi...I hope you get some energy, time, and want back to posting!!!!


Ok well I am actually hungry for once... i dont normally eat breakfast but I must be thrown off from the last few days and I am hungry now..I have been hungry since like 10 so I am trying to hold myself off...ok talk to you all lata...

ps. I had to make up for the days i missed!!! HAHAHA

[cathyxxx]

Hey Mom - is your husband a youth pastor?

CONGRATS on no cavities! that is a major feat!

We had a skunk outside at our house last night too. It smelt terrible!!! do you have a swimming pool? wow!

You are gonna have a great vacation!!!! when is your bd?

hugs,
Cathy

Hey.. I just wanted to quickly jump in here. I think this forum could really help me, 3fc has been a huge support in my weight loss but being a sufferer of diabetes, depression an anxiety sometimes makes being a teenager and trying to lose weight very overwhelming and I feel that this thread may be a better place for me to post. So I just wanted to say Hi, I'm Lauren

Wishing you all a happy healthy week

Me too! Somethings are just strict no-nos as far as I'm concerned.

The painting is going OK. I've got the one bedroom totally done, and only one wall left to do in the second one (too much furniture, had to leave it against one wall while I painted the others) Then its on to the living room, which I'm not really looking forward to - its HUGE, and I havta paint the ceiling which is not my favorite. The color looks beautiful though - a warm beige with white trim. hmmmmm.

Mof4 - thanks Bravo on the no cavities! WTG giving your kids a good foundation in healthy tooth-care. Have you seen the promos for the show the "baby-borrowers"? I guess the idea is that they have teens take over running a house and taking care of kids so they can understand how much work it is! Haha.. they could do a show on you!!! You sound so cheery today, I'm glad! And I LOVE your smileys!!!!

How's everyone else doing? Big for those that need it!

[Amarie2pt0]

Hi Lauren!

Nice to meet you, look forward to getting to know you!

[cathyxxx]

hey lauren!

this is a great place and we're thrilled to have you here!

hugs,
cathy

[cathyxxx]

uhmmmmm Amarie....your ticker DOES look like an emery board!

[Ravengirl]

Hey, Hey Everybody!!!

My ankle is feeling alot better this morning! I am able to hobble around sometimes unassisted and sometimes leaning on one of the crutches...(it's giving me a bruise though...) I am icing it off and on...elevating it...taking the Naproxen and doing pretty much nothing! I am getting my upper body workout going up the stairs backwards on my butt though so does that count?! My food program is doing fabulous...I feel great other than the whole ankle thing... It really is amazing!

Now that I said that of course...I feel a little tired all of a sudden...not bad...just tired...sorry Girlies...I weaseled out on your personals yet again...thank you so much for caring though and I really hope to be back in the swing of things soon... Maybe I wore myself out more than I thought with the more walking on it today...ugh..

luv luv Everybody...and welcome to all the wonderful new faces!

[buddly]

Good Morning everyone!

Luaren! This is a great and supportive little corner, I really look forward to getting to know you.

You are all so busy!

Cin its great "seeing" you again!

Cathy good job on the walking! Cucumbers and watermelon sound like a wonderful and light summer dinner. Its cooled right down here again.

Raven so sorry about your ankle. DdC sprained hers in a tournament a few years ago and she still has to keep it wrapped for practice. Don't do to much and give yourself time to heal.

amarie good for you to know when not to drive. Like others have said I wish more people would think first. We just had three teens from a small community north of here get killed this weekend. Alcohol, speeding and no seatbelts. Two just graduated hs and the third was in her second year at the university. So stupid. And the poor lone driver in the pick up that they hit, thankfully he had non life threatening injuries. Its just such a waste.

momof4 glad to see you refreshed. Enjoy your vacation. I really miss the ocean living where we do now. I hope when we go away in August it will be nice enough for us to go to the beach.

Hi Hope, francie, Leenie, Sassy and everyone else!

Not to much new here. I have to get some cleaning done today. Still so very tired tho. Have to bake cookies today so that DdA has a snack to take to work tomorrow. It will be nice to have the heat today tho. Haven't made it back outside as it hasn't dried up at all. But it sure is green. I was hoping to get some beets planted so I could have even baby beets at the end of the season and of course some swiss chard and lettuce and radishes, but at this rate it will not happen. DdB is suppose to be going out today and she is going to a "grad" party on Friday. Its a sleep over at her one friend's so at least I know that they will be staying put and her friends house is more isolated than ours so they shouldn't get into to much trouble.

Anywho I should get going and see what I can get done today, so far I've set off the smoke detectors twice while making toast and I can't find my sweater so it should prove to be an interesting day before I'm done!!

Take care all and have a great day,
K
