Weekly Chit Chat July 7th - 13th
 

Hi girls - happy new week.

Cathy - I'm in! 3 more days off...and then maybe another 3? :lol:

Heather - :hug: No words, hun, just :hug:

Sassy - :p. Old, schmold. I'm not buyin it. Oh and here - have some gouda. :lol:

Leenie, Mof4 - :hug:

Well guys, I climbed back on the binge wagon today :( I ate fast food, which I almost never do anymore, and tonight ended up driving to the grocery store and bought a bunch of unhealthy crap - then ate it :(.

I just felt like my stomach was empty empty, only it wasn't really my stomach. It was more like a great big sad saggy bit in my heart, and no amount of junk food will fill that up. Its gonna sound so silly, but I was painting today, and it just made me want to cry because I really love my house, and I'm never really gonna get to live in it all finished. I'm so tired of making homes beautiful and then leaving them for someone else to enjoy.

But I have to make sure I don't turn to food as a salve - otherwise I'll end up back where I started this year.

Big :hug: to everyone who needs one right now. You're all in my thoughts.

Hi Ya Amarie!

As they say, "You are only as old as you feel!" lol. :p I have never tried Gouda Cheese. Hmmmm. :chin: lol.

Don't beat yourself up about the unhealthy binge. It happened, it has passed, you learned from it. Next time you are feeling blue and want to eat, write it down. Write down the date, time, place, why you are feeling that way and why you want to eat and what would food do to resolve this feeling of saddness? Maybe if you keep track you can pinpoint what is triggering it. Only a thought. I should take my own advice shouldn't I? :p lol

Awwww sorry your blue about your house. :hug: At least you have a house! lol. DH & I still live in our crappy apt and I get so sad thinking about all those homes out there needing residents to take care of them. :( Sounds like a puppy doesn't it? lol. But I know one day we will own our own home, it may not be anything wonderful, but it will be ours and that is what is important. Hey maybe have a decorating party, invite some friends, family, etc and have them help you out? You could do one room at a time? Only a thought.

:hug:

:wave: Girlies

Have a great week ahead :hug:

Leenie

morning everyone....I am going to try a start this week positive and watch my calories like crazy and get in some more excercise. I have gotta step this up because I am tired of feeling fat and guilty 24/7.....so a new week is a new start!!!

MeA-that is soooo sad I would be sad too...my BIL did the same thing to his house and it looked so nice and i was like I cant believe he isnt staying...

Sassy-You....your something....have a great day of sleep...lol....

Wheres everyone else?? buddly, Leenie, Ravan, Hope, Shop, sugamomma, dgramie...anyone else I am forgetting with my mother of young kids syndrome......Are you all still in BED??? WELLLLLL GGGEEETTTTTT UUUUPPPPP!!!

Hi Leenie..you musta been posting while I was...MORNING!!

Hey guys feeling good..I did a few minutes on eliptical (friend said mine is way harder cause its older or something...but I have to build up on that) & Did a bunch on this ab lounge2..It doesnt feel so much like working out but I can feel the soreness in my abs while and after doing them....really trying to get my focus back not just in losing weight but in life. If I am focused on the right thing (God) then I will be able to stand no matter what I face. I have been doing awful these last two weeks in everything. So in deciding all this I really feel I need to do a fast a few days from everything....food, puter, phone, communication (except what I have to with the kids).....I believe this will help me get on focus....so if you dont hear from me that is why!!!

If you noticed I changed my ticker I am going to worry about 10lbs at a time. I will work my butt off as if I only have 10lbs to lose and 10lbs is nothing!! RIGHT...lol....

Ok lata chicks!!!

:coffee: Good Morning My Lovelies!!!

I have been soooo busy! And this morning doesn't look any different! I only have a couple of minutes so I will try to be back later and do individuals. The new program is still going fabulous!!! I feel awesome! I am going to go to Yoga this morning and work out a few kinks that I have in my upper back...I have been getting in my cardio and neglecting my stretches...bad me... I also have to go to the library, take the cans to the recycler thingig, make an appt to have a mole looked at...and call and check on the parental units! So yeah...full plate today...

So I am just going to say... :hug: to everyone who is having a hard time...we have all been there...you can get through...you are all in my thoughts...

Luv luv Everybody!!!

I'm gonna be real quick right now. I just started reading "The Host" and I wanna get back to it, lol. But I think it's time to donate my hair now. If it's 10 inches, then I'm gonna make an appt to get it cut and styled. My hair will probably be kinda short for awhile..but eh, its just hair. It'll grow back. I'm donating my hair to Locks of Love in memory of my mom & aunt.

http://www.locksoflove.org/

When Fonzo gets home, I'm gonna have him measure my hair..I'll let you know how long it is. Please let it be 10 inches or more!!! Okay..back to book!!

Hi everyone!
Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead! and had a great weekend.

TOM arrived and is kicking my butt. Just absolutely no oomph anywhere. I did try to turn over my garden patch on Friday. Was out there for about 3/4's of an hour and got it about half done. Then of course we had these spectacular thunder and lightening storms with down pours so now the clay is wet and sticky. But the lightening show was something else to watch! My weight had been going up and up so I'm going to have to copy momof4 and regroup and try a different tactic. Reports say that even 10 min of exercise adds up so I may have to start that tactic.

heather- :hug:my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sassy enjoy your sleep.

Raven you sound busy today, enjoy your stretches! I remember that being my favorite part of exercising, but that was when I was flexible and my stomach didn't push my boobs to try to suffocate my in the plough position!!!

momof4 good luck to you. Reconnecting to God is always a good start. I enjoy the lightness and emptiness of fasting but find it so hard while caring for a family. My MIL was doing a food fast every Friday I don't know if she still is.

amarie :hug: I'm sorry I just don't know what to say, but you are in my thoughts. :hug:

Hi Leenie, cathy, sugar, francie,hope and everyone else!

Welcome dgramie! I look forward to getting to know you better. The more the merrier in here!

I better get going I put the dishes from last night in to soak and I really should get them done before I have to leave to pick up DdA from work.

Take care everyone!
K

Hi All. :wave:

Hope your all doing well.

:hug:

Hi girls.

I had a busy productive day today. Thinking of you all, just too tired to do a big post.

:grouphug: take care.

:wave:

Guess What????
 

:( I sprained my ankle...bad...and get this! It was *after* an awesome Ashtanga yoga class!!! I had a fabulous class...felt wonderful...floaty...and perfect..finished talking to the instructor about her upcoming sale of yoga items at her house over the weekend and was leaving the classroom...now they have a raised wooden floor...I don't know if it is under construction or what...but I have seen the signs and am usually very careful about it. Apparently not yesterday...I have a weak right ankle...I hurt it really bad when I was 16 and it just has never been the same. Well, it rolled, threw me down, I hit my knee, my head, and was completely embarassed! Luckily butterfly girl didn't see me, she had her back to me, but two little kids did see me and surprise of surprise...didn't laugh!!! They actually looked concerned and asked if I was ok! Kind of restores my faith a little bit in some people...:D I was very surprised and touched...
So, I didn't get to the library or anything else done yesterday, DH left work and took me to the Dr. They Xrayed it and it isn't broken...(kinda wish it was...cast...) They wrapped it for me, did loan me some crutches and gave me some nifty pain meds (which I actually haven't had to use other than the Naproxen) I am icing it in intervals and trying to stay off it...ugh...that puts me out of commission for I don't know how long...ugh...hopefully I don't lose too much ground...I can't even stand on the scale to check... :?:
Well, Chicas, I had better get back to the couch and the ice pack...sorry I don't have more energy...

luv luv Everybody...and hang in there to all the strugglers... :hug:

I'm back in town :wave:

I had a good trip, I'll tell you about it later. Thinking of you all!!!

Hi..it's "CIN"
 

Hello Everyone
Long time ..no see !:hug:

Leens..I see you are still here ..is Cathy still around?:?:

Cin:smug:

Hey!
 

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

We're HOT!!!!!
 

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? :lol:

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 - :hug:

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!

good morning gang :wave:

CIN CIN CIN - where ya been girlie ;) I haven't seen you on here in forever. thank goodness we have email huh ;) how are you and dh doing? how ya feeling? how many WW meetings are you doing a week? it's great to see ya here! I hope you get to post more often if you want to. :hug:

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! :cb:

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!

Hey Mom - congrats for getting on that eliptical and ablounger!!! it feels great when we do it doesn't it!?! I totally agree with you about focusing on God!!! awesome picture of you and your beautiful kids!

Ravengirl - sounds like you've been exercising too! YOU GO GIRL! :cp: 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. :hug: a lot of the girls in our youth have done that lately too. it's an awesome thing!

Hey Buddly - how ya feeling today! 10 minutes of exercise does add up and sometimes that is just all we can get in. I say "go for it" ;) Btw, that gardening counted too :) I really do hope you're feeling better.

Hey Hope - so glad you're back and glad you had a good trip!

Sassy - fresh corn and watermelon and chicken sounds so yummy good! I hope you have a cooler day at work!


hope everybody has a great :running: day!
hugs,
Cathy

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!

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

I really want to be away at the beach:beach: my bday is during or vacation so my husband said if thats what I want to do then thats what we will do:queen:. Just have to do it on limited funds since I didnt plan ahead for this:dz:. Next year that is what income tax goes for:smug:. I want to go to the beach every year:dancer:. Its good for my husband to have a chance to just relax and worry about nothing other than that. :bubbles: 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:jig:!!

I am going to go get on the excercise stuff:woops:. :ebike:I wanted to swim :swim:last night but a skunk was out there so oh no i wasnt going out there!!:no: 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:drill:

Foster dd had court hearing the judge ordered her to have over nights here and be discharged in August. :cb: The overnights are great but hard on everyone :crazy: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!!:crossed:

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. :cloud9:It was just wonderful!

Boys had dentist appts today...NO CAVITIES!!! :broc: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. :carrot: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:angel:

MeA-what do I say to you...:bravo:..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:D


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??:goodscale Hope everyone wore their deodorant or that would be one stinky place!!! Oh and yeah now I am hungry for chicken.:hungry:.thanks a lot!! We had these super juicy pork chops from the grill last night ohhhh they were sooooo goood!!!!

CIN-Welcome back:welcome2:...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..:no:.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!!!:wl:

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

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!!:chicken:

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


Ok well I am actually hungry for once.:hungry:.. 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:dunno:...ok talk to you all lata...:club:

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

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 :wave:

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

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 :hug: 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 :hug: for those that need it!

Hi Lauren! :welcome:

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

hey lauren! :welcome3:

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

hugs,
cathy

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

Ankle is better!
 

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?! :D 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!

Good Morning everyone!:wave:

:welcome2: 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

cathy-Yes we just took over the youth pastor position a few months ago. We moved into the city where our church is so we could be available to the youth. Since we are renting we dont have a big pool its on of the big blue ones...enough for me to swim around and move in. My bday is on the 22nd. Yeah Last night i was on the puter and heard a pole from the skimmer fall and hurried up and turned the light on not knowing what it was. Then I sat back down and smelled that awful smell.

Lauren-:welcome3: My foster daughter who is 15 has issues with that too she is always jumping around in the 160's somewhere. But she loves food and wants to eat every hour of the day...She can out eat me without even trying!!! But she struggles with comparing herself to all the skinny girls!! So welcome...

MeA- I never seen that show...probably because we dont have cable...if we had it we would never move from the couch...LOL...That sounds like a cool show I will have to look it up or watch it at my parents or have my mom record it when it comes on....Yes I am the drill sargent of teeth brushing....EVEN though my son hasnt gotten any cavities at any of his previous visits...When I went at the end of the preg. with Maddie I had like 8. I was like what the heck i brush my teeth more than anyone. But I hadnt had any appts in a while and been prego so who knows. I got them all filled just have to get the one pulled in the back it just fell apart...Yes I feel so almost different today. yeah I was in a smiley mood and had the time to put them in..unlike now...HAHA


Buddly-Ok now if you have set the smoke alarm off with just cooking toast do you realllllyyy think you should be coooking cookies or ANYTHING for that matter?????Maybe you should have the fire department on call!!! Yeah my family (dads brothers families) always went to the beach except for my dad and us. He would never go. I got to go one year with them. We never went on vacations because my dad was a farrier (like a blacksmith) so it was always super busy in the summer. I hated that so I wanted to make it a point to go on vaca every year!!!


Ok I am going to go relax for a little while before church. I need to get some energy built up for those hyper teens that I so dearly love...The one drinks mt dew and she is bouncing off the wall. My dh was gonna duct tape her mouth the one day...LOL...not really but yeah...She is crazy hyper but fun to!! OK talk to ya all lata!!!

Wow What a morning!!
 

Hello!
 

Hello again.....................there are so many in here I can't remember who is who.so hello to all!

I did not see Leens..where is she?:(

Cathy..maybe you can explain why it refers to me as a "Sr. member" Of course I am getting on up there! :dizzy::dizzy::dizzy:

Leens baby girl must be getting up there too.I remember when she was a tiny baby girl!:D

My grandchildren are 8,9 13 & 14 now! Can you believe that? Abby is 14 and 6'1 " tall!

Cathy..are your boys married or anything yet? How are they?

More tomorrow.

I currently lead 7 meetings a week on a regular basis..more when I sub for others.

Gas is $4.15 a gallon here in Ky.what is it where everyone else is?

Later

Hi all,

I'm really struggling to manage my time and find time to post. I just finished reading everything but I don't have time for personals.

I got off at 7pm tonight, had pizza, went to the grocery store, put it all away, played briefly with the dogs, read the posts, and it's 10:30. I still haven't worked out tonight and if I do now I'll probably be up all night. I think I'll hit the ellipticle briefly anyway b/c it will help in the long run with having to stand all day again.

The trip was nice. We mainly stayed in and worked in the garden, cooked dinners with family, and helped my aunt who has schizophrenia. Thank God I don't have that severe of a mental problem. :dizzy: I brought back fresh squash, zuccini, cucumbers, early apples, and honey. :T It's good to just get away sometimes and just hang around the house.

Well, I'm going to try to go work out quickly :woops: and hit the hay.

Gosh I want to respond to you all but I better go. Just know I am reading and I'll work on my time management.

Heather: Still eating cake? It's OK if you are, but work on those daily goals. Hope you are feeling ok. :hug:

youth was awesome tonight....doing good...hubby off tomorrow...really thinking and close to take the plunge and chop my hair off....I know it grows back but still....Well gotta do more research on beach stuff and see if I can pull it off!! lol...I HOPE!!!


Catch ya lata chickies!!!

Bad News.
 

Thanks everybody for such a warm welcome :)

Sugar - I can totally relate - I have a 7lb gain and have also hit a plateau too! You'll do it though!

Sassy I'm so so sorry, I will send some thoughts here and hope that you're time away will help you emotionally and that life goes a little more smoothly. :hug:

Lately I've been feeling so overwhelmed with calories and guilt and so many things that I'm giving up on my plan temporarily to 're connect' and hopefully sort out my mind. Tomorrow I'm at work so I'm going to see about upping my hours in the hope it will get me out of the house and away from the kitchen.

I hope you all have a fantastic day !

good morning gang :wave:

I did 3 miles this morning :running: I didn't feel like getting up bec we were up late but I got up anyway. ;) I say it counts for double on the days I don't feel like it but do it anyway ;)

Mom - thanks for answering all my questions. that's great! we work with youth too. We have about 100 youth at our church. Dh and I are teaching the 11th & 12th graders this year. We usually just have the 12th graders but they needed to be combined there year. He has the guys and I have the girls. We are blessed to work with youth!

Cin - gas was $3.99 this morning. it goes up daily.
I have "senior member" under my name too. I'm sure tha is just bec of the amount of time that we've been a member at 3fc.....it certainly can't have anything to do with our age ;-) I cannot believe your grandkids ages. My they grew fast don't they?!? neither of our guys are married yet. they just turned 24 and 21. the oldest is back in school and will probably graduate next fall (09) and the youngest is finishing a 4 year degree in December. both are still at home. should be leaving the nest in the next year or two. Leenie is really busy with work and life but she pops in once a week or so, or whenever she can.

Sassy - hugs!

CONGRATS to all of those that are exercising!!! it's does a body (and a mind) GOOD :p :p :p

hope everybody has a great day!
hugs,
Cathy

:wave:

Hi girlies, good to see everyone.

Cin :eek: Abby is 6'1" and 14 :faint: Its really good to see you lady, I"m glad your back. How are you feeling? I know you went through a very rough time.

Spotz, Cathy, Mom, Hope, Heather, Sassy, Francie, Sugar, Buddly, Raven, Amarie, ..... love yah :hug:
