Good morning ladies!
 

:rain: :no: :headache: Another wonderful weather weekend!

We were really blessed up here. Jeanne wreaked havoc around the central-east coast of FL, but didn't really have much effect on NE Florida or SE Georgia :sunny: It was nerve wracking :stress: waiting to see which track she'd take; plus getting tornado warnings every 15 minutes or so for a couple of hours :fr: . All we got was rain and wind. It's still a little windy out there, but Frances pretty much cleared out all the old branches, so we don't have much yard debris :D

My eating has been good. I'm starting to keep a food diary, and I want to take my measurements (since I can't really weigh myself with this :censored: ankle) to see how I'm doing.

Leenie: Listen to CIN's advice! Just start fresh today :D

Liz: I've heard that DDR is a good aerobic exercise tool :D Good for you getting your homework done!

Cathy: Don't worry-just look forward to having a wonderful time-we'll miss you! :D

CIN: Glad you're back-hope you had a great trip :)

Have a wonderful day ;)

Cathy I think it stands for dance dance revolution.......you have to hit the arrows with your feet as they come up on the screen...I average about 90 boo's a song! :)

I am off to get a hair cut and the oil changed!

Have a great day everyone.......Joanne you hang on to something there!

HI Leens, Cathy and Cin!!!!!

Hello all.

Cathy - DDR is a dancing game (a lot of fun if no one is watching :) ).

I started South Beach this morning. Has anyone else tried it?

Leenie - I am getting my Masters in Arts and Teaching (I got an undergraduate degree in biology and didn't know what I wanted to do). The M.A.T. degree allows me to get certified while getting my masters.

Well, I am a tired girl (I got up before 5 for the first time in at least 4 years) so I will talk to everyone later.

Hey Ladies!

:o I’m embarrassed, I posted into the wrong forum LOL! I saw weekend chat but I clicked on Lynnie’s Birthday Thread… I feel so embarrassed! This is what I posted yesterday…

I just want all you ladies to know... today I thought about you. I did some reflecting on my life in the past year. LOL only because I started class on Thursday and I feel the stress building up already LOL.

I listed all the good things in my life to keep myself happy and to keep from falling into a stress slump. You guys were on my list. All the warm and wonderfully supportive friends I have met here have really kept me on some high points.

As I've mentioned before... my depression gets really bad... but for the past year I don't think I have had any spells that have really hit rock bottom. I've had my ups and downs, but I've really been able to control a lot of my negative thoughts. Of the negative thoughts are still there, but I am honestly shocked at the fact that I haven't had a major depression spell in a long time.

I was sharing these thoughts with a friend when I told her about this group.

I just wanted to come in and share one of my happy thoughts for the day!

Liz – Let me know how DD likes the DDR game :) Mines addicted to it. If she’s not playing it at home, she’s playing it at the bowling alley before and after league heheheh! Speaking of hair cuts…. WHEW! I cut off almost 10 inches of my hair on Sunday. :( I really miss it! But my head feels so much lighter… I think I lost 10lbs too LOL! No Just kidding!

Cathy – Yes DDR stands for Dance Dance Revolution hehehe… it’s a great game for the kids and it even has a work out mode ;) but woosh, even on the beginner mode I’m working up a sweat. You have these dance pads, that have the four corners and the up/down and left/right markers. You watch the screen and you tap the correct marker with the correct matching arrow on the screen. It’s basically like dancing. You have to move your foot in a particular pattern and ta-dah you are dancing to the music on the tv. It’s great… a fun game, got the competition going and you get a work out all at one time. I’ll miss you during your 8 days! Hoping all goes well!

I’ve only started class on Thursday, and I’m already feeling the pressure… GOODNESS! I think my summer vacation was a bad idea. I am really having a hard time finding the motivation to get back into doing homework and writing papers and blah blah blah :( If I can’t find even an itty bitty amount of motivation, I think I might be in trouble this quarter! I think because I’m taking four classes, I’m working myself up just thinking about all the work that’s going to need to be done. Most of the classes are like Teacher Prep classes where you have to work out lesson plans, do presentations, and we even have to make time to take ourselves on an independent field trip to a school and a museum.

I wanted to share a funny quote I read in an email sent to me by a friend. The person is unknown, but the quote is:

“Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies – Unknown”

I found it funny at first, then I started thinking about myself and what I’ve done to keep my so called “skinny woman” from doing.

Just another something I’d like to share.

I’m going to try to figure out my webpage problem to so I can post the pictures we took last Wednesday.

Take care everyone!

Hi Ladies,

Had a busy weekend. Yesterday I managed to eat 3/4 of a pan of brownies all by myself, not in one sitting but thru the day. OY! TOM came last night and there you go, I had no control. I have Never Ever done that before :fr: whats done is done, no more brownies in my house :no:

Today is good ;)

Cin, how was your trip ?? glad your back.

Liz, lots of stocking stuffers, lots and lots :lol3:

Cathy, where yah going ?

Joanne, glad all is well, weather wise. Diary's help alot of folks. Every time I start one, I never finish. Guess maybe thats why I have a hard time. Good for you!!

Tiffanie, good for you for getting a degree. South Beach is a good plan, you'll do well. Like I tell everyone, pick a plan that you think you can live with for the rest of your life, because its a life change, not a quick fix.

Well I gotta run......zoooooom !!!

TTYT

YAY! I managed to figure out what was wrong with my webpage ftp site! Basically since I updated to XP my ftp program was to old for it to work properly <G> so I had to go upgrade hehehe... Now I can post pictures :) I basically got 12 poses, but only ordered 3, no wait, I ordered 4 because my sister and I went half and half on an order. I will post the 4 pictures I ordered and give links for the rest.

The last time my sister and I took pictures together, I was 17 years old LOL 11 years ago! Also, the last time James and I took pictures it was 6 years ago. PLUS we finally got a family picture of the three of us. We took these on Wednesday the 22nd of Sept.
