Mitchy, so glad that your cold cleared up for your big night out. I bet you are so excited you can hardly stand it. Your clothes sound great. Wishing you a really great evening.
Mkay, the jewelry is great. My favorite colors. I have to admit your kitchen sounds pretty great too. Sounds like you and dh have really good taste. Can't wait to see pictures.
Wilma, I am with you not going to do anything to the inside until the kids are out. Kind of what's the point The outside will be done by Wed. though.
Gary, a day of rest How could you do that? Yeah the Raiders didn't do so good. I haven't even gotten to watch football this year yet. I have to work tonight so no Monday night game either. Just have to check ESPN when I get home.
Sunny, where are you, off having a fun weekend again?
Hello to everyone else. Hope you all have a blessed day.
Mkay, that set is gorgeous! How much for that? I'll send a pic asap and i'd love a pair of earrings. I need to get busy and make some tatted, beaded earrings for Christmas and my Mom asked me to make a tatted doily for one of her friends. I'm almost done with the baby sweater, hat too. And oh, the hair, i'm wearing it down, i only wear it up at home. I don't think it looks so great up. And yes Bunna......having a REALLY hard concentrating on work today.
Mitchy- I don't remember what I sold it for and I don't even remember to who. My memory is NOT doing so good.
The bracelets, depending on crystal size and size of sterling, range from $25 to $40 and rarely $40. Earrings usually $7 to $10 and necklace like that one probably $25 to $30. I'm only guessing on the bracelet and necklace...I don't have that one in the jewelry pricing program I have.
My goal (someday) is to have a web page with some selections on it and people can buy from there or custom order something. That way I don't have to spend the $$$ to have stock sitting around.
Well, one more hour before the healthy eating class gets here. I'm really not in the mood for it tonight. I'd rather just sit and veg.

Hi Everyone,
*~*~*
Bunna ~ Here I am... I am glad you liked the fridge pictures. I hope you will be able to get one soon.
We did allot over the weekend and had such a good time, but I sure paid for it today!! I had such a bad flare-up this morning and got so sick. I have been on a heating pad all day and it hurt too much to sit this morning & post. But I am doing so much better now, just feeling tired from not feeling well today. I'll be just fine tomorrow... like nothing even happened.
Saturday ~ In the morning we didn't meet Mike & Peg (our pals) like usual... we had breakfast at home and then we went shopping together leaving at 9am... FUN SHOPPING / WINDOW SHOPPING mostly, no grocery shopping. Just did allot of looking around and getting ideas for what we would like to do someday. It was a rainy day till about 1:00 & nice day for shopping --- we got home at around 3:00 all tuckered out. I cannot believe the people out shopping and doing what we were doing... just checking out prices and getting ideas looking at new things. There are some really nice things out there!!! We did find a small table for next to Joe's chair. We have been looking for months and finally found one. It comes in on Wednesday... can't wait!! It is a cute little painted table with a small drawer. When we get it I will get a picture of it to send you., okay. It only cost $130.00 (on sale!) Really cute! I am so glad we didn't rush into buying one when we wanted one... I love this one. We have been using a TV tray. When we got home we both just putts around the house doing small things & getting everything ready for church.
Sunday ~A Beautiful Day!!!! After church we went out with our friends (Mike, Peg & DD-Lisa) to breakfast; we got home at around 11am and I straightened up here and made a lunch for me & my tummy. Then they came over to our home at 12:30 and we all went on a Century Home Tour from 1-5pm... what a Beautiful Day we had!!! We toured through 5 homes all built in the 1800's --- what struck Joe & I funny was that the homes had allot of period furnishings and items and then you would get to the living-rooms to find the big screen TV's with surround sound... it just hit us in the funny bone. It was so cool to see all the ladies wearing their Fall sweater's for the tour... me too After the tour we all went out to dinner and then got home at around 7pm and we both put our jammies on and chilled out to TV!!! We were both so very tired! I think that is what triggered my flare-up this time --- just too much activity (we did allot of walking), I was so careful with my foods and even brought my own with me... oh well. I'll live...
Michele ~ I hope that you are having a wonderful time on your date... sorry I haven't been here --- I feel left out of all your primping fun with MKay Cannot wait to hear all about it!
Gary ~ You are too funny... like my fridge, do ya Remember... it's just me and Joe here, so it stays pretty tidy. Enjoyed your Cheerio story... my grandmother use to do that to us
How was your weekend? Yeah for your Dodgers and their win!! Our Browns won 17/10... but it really could have been a better game by them. I wasn't able to catch the whole game because we were gone all day, but we listened to it on the radio when we could.
Joe & I watched the debate too... and even though we were disappointed in how our President presented himself, it doesn't change our minds on whom is the best person for the position! I wasn't good at taking tests either, but that doesn't make me stupid Nuff said... don't want to get booted off here because we aren't suppose to speak of these things in our post sure don't want to get turned in
MKay ~ Beautiful jewelry Set!!! You sure do make some really nice jewelry!!!
Gotta go lay down... catch you all tomorrow
Luvs,
SunnyD

Sorry...
*~*~*
Wilma ~ I am so very sorry... I didn't see your post till just now. Glad you enjoyed the pictures of the fridge too... we have a huge ice maker in the freezer at the bottom. I know what you mean... until we got this fridge we didn't have an ice maker either - they sure are nice!
Sounds like you had a nice weekend too! Busy! Earthtones are definately IN still!!! I must agree with you... you gave that cabinet guy chances I may not have given him and he really let you down... it is time to find someone who wants the job! I sure wouldn't want someone to begin the job and then leave me hangin' and it sounds like something he would have done to you. Good thing you found out now! Wishing you *Luck* in finding someone.
I had SUCH a wonderful time last night!! I gave him bad directions, the exit i told him was closed for construction, i didn't even think he'd find the place, when i went in, he wasn't there....... i was preparing to be very disappointed....but then this great looking guy came through the turnstyle doors and it was like there was no time between us. We hugged, it was so nice to see him. We had a great dinner, we ordered the same thing, and we talked, we laughed..... they asked us to leave when it was about 11:00 and we were the only ones in the restaurant still there.....although I didn't realize that until then. He walked me to my car.....we hugged....he kissed me I have a permanent smile on my face today....too silly. I'll post a few pics tonight.
Mitchy- Weeeeee! Yippie Tye Aye Yea! I loooove hearing the romance stories. Where does this man live? I am so happy you had fun! You will need plastic surgery to get that smile off your face.
How's your concentration level today? What did you both order to eat? Really, I'm not playing 20 questions...30 maybe but not 20.
Healthy Eating went well...we made Hummus; all organic and very tasty. Then the instructor did a showing and demo of Essential Oils (youngliving). The oils are biblical, etc. That was fun as well. THEN...Anna, one of the ladies (probably in her 70s and sorta heavy) fell in our bushes out front. She could have help getting up due to a weak right arm and so she had to struggle to her knees and then use the steps to get her back on her feet. By the time the 10 minutes were up we were all in laughter. If only I had a camera. She did not get hurt BUT...the bushes (Gary's fav) cracked and now have a huge hole in them. I'm just glad we all have a sense of humor. And me...having a weak bladder...must I say any more?
Well, my mom just called me and is on her way over (not the norm). Bye all, and since I'm home today...I will be checking in again.
Mitchy: Oohh la la So glad you had a wonderful time. Just goes to prove that John is not the one lighting any fires with you.
Sunny, glad you had such a great weekend although could have done with out the payment. I figures out how to earn my fridge, when I hit the 100 lbs lost mark I get any fridge I want with any extras I want. DH promised. So I expect youy guys to keep me on the straight and narrow. I only have 78.5 to go. I am gonna go to the store and get a flyer on the one I want and post it in the kitchen and at the restaurant.
I worked last night so all day today and then off tomorrow then Costco shopping on Thursday. I spotted a Splenda cookbook there last week so will spend more time thumbing through this week and see how it looks. I made beans yesterday and had no eggs this morning so eating beans again. They are good though, a recipe I got off the SBD boards here.
Mkay, I may want some of those earrings. I love the ones you have posted and I was thinking I could put them on and then rub them every time I am tempted to eat and I will think of my friends here instead of myself and food. Kind of like a worry stone except that I would say prayers for the encouragement board people. Oh yeah love the avatar!
My son's dog chewed up my charm bracelet that had the grandkids birthstones on it. I thought about strangling him but...I would have felt guilty later.
I was so excited cuz someone told me they were opening a Bath and Body Works in the mall but my excitement was short-lived because it isn't them and another customers last night told me not to get excited cuz the one that opened wasn't all that impressive in comparison. Guess I will keep shopping out of town for that kind of stuff. Darn it.
I am waffling so off to get ready for work. Everybody have a wonderful day and hi to Gary, Wilma, Sue, Dawn and Sami.

Hi Bunna ~ The quote above...I don't understand what you mean??
Now that's a real goal! Lose the weight and get a bigger fridge that will hold more food Just foolin' around with you... I think it's great the DH will get you the fridge you want once you lose. The flyer is a great idea!! You will do it!!!! There are allot of great recipes on that SBD board! I use Splenda too and use it in place of sugar even in baking. I also use applesauce to replace the oil in my baking to reduce the fat... it works great! I just don't bake as long as the recipe calls for or it dries out the bakery --- just gotta watch it.
I love Bath & Body Works! Joe gets me Christmas Gifts from there each year. He buys me so much that it usually last till the next Christmas --- I look forward to getting new & different products each year from him He knows to ask a clerk for help, giving them ideas as to what I enjoy... so far he has done real good each year
Michele ~ I think it's just wonderful that you have found someone that makes you feel like a young school girl again... Reading your post I remember those feelings when Joe & I dated. So adorable!!! I am so very happy for you... enjoy!
MKay ~ Sounds like you are glad that you had that Healthy Eating Class now... good that you pushed through your fatigue and enjoyed it. The food sounds great... is there a title/name to this class? Is it a nutritionist from the hospital? How did you hear about it??
I am glad to hear that the lady who fell in the bushes is okay... I bet you all laughed till your tummies hurt!!! Just too funny!!!
*~*~*
Quiet day for me today... I am still not quite up-to-par, but am feeling a little better today. When I have flare-ups it usually takes me 2-4 days to feel really good again... ... bummer!
Awwww...you can stop missing me!! I am here Just got off of work and am catching up on ya'lls posts. I was just reading about Mitchy's date! How exciting!
I believe this weeks weigh in is going to be a good one. I am still losing..just sllllloooowwww...
I learned at church Sunday that we are going to start a series called "33 days of Stewardship". Anyone familiar with this program? It looks interesting, just haven't had a chance to read through it yet.
I am all decorated for Halloween, I have got to quit going to Wal-Mart though, they have the cutest scarecrows for CHEAP and my husband is going to freak if I buy another one...heh heh.

Hi Angie-Wangie
I am so glad to see you and to hear that you are doing so well on your program. I am a very slow loser too (I hear that slow and gone forever was the best way to lose ). I have lost another pound as of October 1st so now I am down 24lbs. (yeah). I try real hard not to weigh-in too much or I get discouraged. Once or twice a month is what I do now...
Nope, can't say that I have heard of the "33 Days of Stewardship" but I do know that there are a couple churches here doing the 40 days of study in "The Purpose Driven Life". I have the book and journal myself --- just haven't stopped to read them yet. Felt like it would be good for me to study during the winter months of being closed up and that it would keep me focused and out of the winter blues You must come back and let us know what that involves...
Yes... Wal-Mart has the cutest things for such a good price! Joe & I don't decorate for Halloween (per say) we just decorate for the Fall; then it takes us right into Thanksgiving It works for us being we haven't any children. Sounds like your place is really !
Sunny...The Healthy Eating started out...
A lady from my church had breast cancer. She was told that without treatment, she would last maybe a year. She did not claim this and claimed God's Word that By His stripes we are healed and hung onto His promises. She totally and I mean totally changed her eating habits, all organic, oils, etc. and believed in her healing. She finally found an oncologist (sp) to monitor her "self-treatment" and has NO cancer. She dedicated her life to a healthy lifestyle and God told her to teach it. Opportunities came up that looked her square in the eye regarding teaching this way of life to people. One day at church I had kitchen clean-up duty and she was preparing food. I didn't know her but we started chatting and healthy eating came up. She said she wanted to teach it as a Small Group within our church but was disappointed that she didn't have a kitchen big enough to do that. I told her that I have this huge kitchen that can hold easily 10-12 people and an peninsula where she could do the demonstrating. She couldn't believe it, but she came over and checked things out and presto chango...I'm holding her small group in my kitchen.
Whew...all that chatting...I'm beat! Sunny, I hope you feel better tomorrow after a good night's rest.
I hope I remember the work camera to bring home tomorrow and then I will take pictures of all kinds of stuff and bore everyone with pic posts.
Bunna- Hey baby...we're gonna be watching you...and weighing you...and praying for you and all of us.
Angie Wangie-33 days of stewardship sounds good. After this 10 week stint of KP duty for Alpha and the other bible studies on Wednesdays, I may take a bible study on that night for the next session instead of KP duty.
Mitchy...Where Areeeee you? Dreaming? Posting pics? That's only question #7.
EZ- received the package today in the mail and I'm going to bed shortly and open it up and read.
Wilma- Kitchen progress?
Sprout- Missing your scriptures.
Dawn- MIA
Ya know...I need a list of all of us...my memory chip needs overhauling or updating.
Hugs and Goodnight All! p.s. Done playing at home...going to work tomorrow.
Attachment from Mkay
The outside will be done by Wed. though. 
How could you do that? Yeah the Raiders didn't do so good. I haven't even gotten to watch football this year yet. I have to work tonight so no Monday night game either. Just have to check ESPN when I get home.
