Hi Again!
 

Sorry your so sick Lori! Prayers your soon on the mend, bladder infections are awful, good thing you knew another Dr. to call so you didn't end up waiting another day. Continued prayers for Deb and her family.
Sunny thanks for the new Christmas signature- you are so thoughtfull, I noticed I had a pm, my bear is cute. Well it is 60 degrees out and raining like its springtime they say another cold front is coming in, I hope this rain drys up before that happens! going nighty night its late, just decided to check in before bed. catch ya tom. probably. see ya!

Lori -- hope you feel better soon, prayers for you:).

Gary -- oh, I did! I'm so proud too haha (and I lost!);) mmm cheesecake sounds good..

Annie -- welcome! it's wonderful here:^:. I'm been "acting" rather vegan lately, except a little chicken here and there.. but I can't stay that way forever;).

Everyone have a blessed night and stay warm;)

Lori, sorry about not feeling well, but i'm so glad you got some medicine b/c you scared me, sounds like you have a kidney infection. And glad your friend did ok during the funeral, i'm sure it was a touching service and he'll be missed. I hope that she will not relate this to the holidays, it's so hard for some people during this time of year. :hugs:

I went to my friends house today with the twins and i'm going tomorrow and thurs. a.m. too. I'm helping her sort and organize and get stuff out of the house for a yard sale at our house this weekend. It's overwhelming for her and i want to help her with it b/c i think she'll feel better when it's gone. It's a lot of hard work for me, but she's my best friend and i'm happy to help her.

Things with Junior are going well! We're going to church together tomorrow!

I got my resume done and sent to one place today. Tomorrow i'll get it out to more places. Things are starting to come together.

Good Morning Everyone!
 

It's back to work for me and I feel like I haven't even left. It is good to get back into a routine after eating and sleeping when I wanted. I was starting to gain a few lbs so it's back to my usual salads at lunch. I still have about 10 lbs to go and it doesn't want to leave.

Michele: Prayers for you on the job search. I think it's great that you're filling your time being there for your friends who need you. It shows what a generous person you are. I'm glad to hear that things with Junior are going well. Did you know him from before or is he a new friend?

mom2fivesweeties: I was so sorry to hear about your friends passing. My prayers are with you and his his wife especially. I can't imagine losing someone that young.

doitforme: Glad to see you posting when you can. Take care of yourself.

Gary: Glad to hear that your Thanksgiving celebration went well. I'd love to have some of your leftovers. I plan on cooking a turkey myself this christmas so I can have some of those leftovers too. My mom is doing Christmas dinner and I'll do a separate one for just our immediate family.

The flowers you gave Angie are really lovely. You are a big romantic aren't you?

Annie: It's so nice to meet you. I hope you post often.

Pixie: Way to go on eating well during the holiday. It's so hard to do that.

Sunny: I know you're out there because I see all the neat siggies. I miss your posts.

Hello to all I didn't get time to address personally. It's off to work for me.

Have a great day!

It's all about ME!
 

Lori - goodness girl! Hope you get to feeling much better soon. I agree with Michele, it sounds like it may be more than just an ordinary bladder infection. Take care of yourself.

Also, glad to here that Deb is doing OK and that the funeral went well.

Michele - Good luck with the job hunting. I always hated doing the resume/interview thing. I have gotten 3 jobs in the last 8 years (MN and TX) through agencies. My last 2 were supposed to be short term temp jobs to fill in while they were looking for someone permanant and ended up working full time.

Less of Me - Welcome to the site, like Margie says, it is grand. I have never been so enthused about forums to actually want to stick with it, but since I've discovered 3FC, I check everyday at least once or twice because I can't wait to see how everyone is doing.

Sue - Me too! I can't wait till The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe come out. It looks like another awesome family movie. My kids have read some of the Narnia books, but I haven't.

Margie - Did you watch the Biggest Loser last night? I love watching that show. It is so inspiring. I only wish that I had 24/7 to devote to eating right and exercising too. But, that is what support from family and friends are for. Thanks y'all.

Everyone - have an awesome day.

Hi all!
 

Mitchy- Good luck job hunting, you are a talented lady so don't assume you'll have a problem. So nice of you to help out your friend conversation alone can make a day of working go easier. Its always more fun with friends.
Wilma- you've done an awesome job this year, I am sure the last 10 will melt away!
Margie- Hi there! never enough friends, it will be neat if you get a chance to meet her.
Beth-= The chronicles of Narnia are great kids books, I read them along time ago. The graphics look cool in this movie, similar to Lord of Rings, both were Christian authors. I watch NCIS when the biggest loser is on, but like that series too.
Hi there pixiefalls- I have to second that, cheesecake sounds yummy- Hi to everyone else. EZ,Sunny, Lori, ECt.....
I helped put tree up today at friends house (prelight) so just had to put it together and plug it in, decorate the rest later this week. Youth group tonight- Christmas play practice, gotta get busy on those outfits procrastinating, something I don't usually do!

Wednesday
 

HI GALS:wave:

What did you all think of Biggest Loooooooooooser? I was so impressed by almost all of their losses! As far as the winner...kinda was pulling for Seth~~ but ya gotta give Matt credit~~ the biggest % of all of them!!

Angie is making turkey soup tonight for dinner so I have a few minutes to spare here. My ham and bean soup was a :bomb: big hit :bomb: last night~~ but Angie almost :faint: from the fall-out :lol:

AUNT SUE~ So glad to hear from you. Have you bought the little one tons of stuff yet? She should really like the "boxes' this year;) ..those little ones really love the paper, bows and boxes. I have a friend at church that is a huge C.S. Lewis fan~~ looking forward to the movie here too. Have fun with the rest of the decorating. Now :coach: :drill: get after those costumes! :coach: :drill:

MARGIE~ Super! With the new friend~~ I have been over there a little~~ that sneaky LORI has too;) How is the kiddo's Nutcracker going?

WILMA~Nah! I am not that romantic...however...I am not a total dufus either;) Salads can get boring can't they? I usually throw some deli lean meat in mine for some extra flavor when I am taking them to work. How is the big guy doing with his asthma?

MICHELE~ Good luck with the job hunting! Plenty of work here...but..oh my! the cost of living!! As you well know!!

BETH~:coach: :coach: :drill: NINE MONTHS!!~~HOLY MOLY~~SOME PEOPLE CAN HAVE BABIES IN THAT LENGTH OF TIME~~ YOU CAN EASILY ;) GET BACK TO YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SHAPE!! :coach: :drill: Well, maybe not "easily"...but hey, with all of us here pulling and PUSHING you it can be done~~:drill: Now get away from the computer and start walking!! ;)

PIXIEFALLS~ OK Hilary~ How do you act "vegan"? Is that like acting a little nutty?:spin:

LORI~ SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL~~ PRAYERS~PRAYERS~PRAYERS!! FOR YOUR HEALING!! Glad to hear the funeral went well (as well as they can I suppose). continued prayers for all of the family and friends as the healing process continues. Did Abbi ever get any of the post cards we sent? She certainly should have by now. How did the "Thanksgiving" situation turn out?

Well~ Hello to all the M.I.A.'s

Off to bring in trash cans........later, Gary

DON'TCHA JUST LOVE ALL THE NEW SIGNATURES GRAPHICGODDESS GAVE US?! AIN'T SHE JUST THE SWEETEST?!!;)

The Biggest Loser finale was so awesome!! I've been so inspired by them and I was routing for all of them. They all looked amazing and they were so happy.. who could sustain a smile at that?! :carrot:

Gary -- haha well, I've been M.I.A. with meat lately.. even today.. ate no meat *shrugs* I really haven't been craving it. Is that weird;)?

Sue -- Doesn't it though? That's what has been stuck in my mind since I saw it:lol:.

Everyone -- never give up on what you most want! I'm 19 pounds down since the date in my sig.. it's amazing the transformations, let's keep it up.

I love the holidays! :gift2:

Junior and me went to church tonight! The Lord is working in our lives! Have a big date with him tomorrow.

Today i did grocery shopping for my friend and cooked. I made a potroast with mushrooms, onion, carrot and potato and some broccoli and cauliflower salad and chicken breasts with cream sauce. Her hubby was happy!

Thank you all so much for your responses and support. What I meant by eating in the flesh, is that I'm listening to "me" about what and when I should eat, instead of praying and listening to the Holy Spirit about what I should be doing. I think if I can listen more to God and have Him guide me, then I know the choices and the time of when I eat will be the right path. Make sense? Just easier said then done.

I am involved in a prison ministry and while I was there last night, I found a passage about fasting that was really interesting in Isaiah 58:6: Rather is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every [enslaving] yoke?

Food/carbs are definitely my oppression!

Lori: my prayers are with you!

Hi there!
 

E.Z.- Our little niece is already attacking the tree- they put it up weekend following Thanksgiving and she takes ornaments down and is unwrapping things, so should be interesting.. Her sister left her homework by her bookbag and Kaylee ripped it so she had to re-write it again, Can't wait till she is fully mobile then she'll keep them busy. I have got her several things debating on rocking horse as its $60. but it rocks automatically, which is cool... She already likes boxes, and pots and pans ect... She is doing so well. will have to post her Christmas pic when I get it. Thanks for the push on costumes gotta get busy there.
Hillary- love cheesecake, I have thought about it since you brought it up and I as well love the holidays- they go so fast though, I like baking, and doing special gifts for people and all the decorating and lights ect. the season goes to quickly and I must admit spend to much of it involved with something other than our blessed savior... Hi to all Mia's see ya

Hi!
 

Thursday
 

HI GALS:wave:

Well, I had a short day at work today, then went to the grocery store and produce market. I have stuffed cabbage cooking in the oven for dinner. Gonna visit here for a few then off to the pantry in the garage~~ it sure needs some organization! Angie and I "slung" stuff around over Thanksgiving...well, probably "me" doing the slingin';) I found out that if I can't find something and just start "slingin'" stuff that I feel better;) Of course I just make more of a mess...so...off to the garage I go!!

What about LOSTladies? Getting stranger by the week!!! I'm staying away from computers...just in case:lol:

GRAPHICGODDESS~Is that really you?;) :hug: Oh, and pay some bills for me too:D

AUNT SUEActually~~I~~brought up the cheesecake first...my daughter made some for Thanksgiving for Angie and I...Amaretto...so you can blame all the extra calories on me!!;) Ya know, Kaylee...don'tcha just love the second part of her name?....LEE...just like MY middle name~ thank-you!!;) I tell you though girl~~that kid is trouble!! OH YEA!!~~getting into the Christmas tree and homework~~sounds exactly like REBA and RYLEE...bad~bad~NEWS!!!:love: :yes: :love:

SCARLETT~ Now I understand the fleshly thing...thanks for the info. My daughter's :barf: :barf: boyfriend :barf: :barf: and his family don't eat meat...well, he does, a little...every now and then some chicken or chicken nuggets and of course IN~N~OUT BURGERS...(need a California connection to understand that one).

MICHELE~ Potroast AND chicken breasts? That's it~ I'm coming for dinner...you KNOW that I can be there in less than 3 hours;)

HILARY~ Great job on the 19 pounds!! You are the BIGGEST LOOOOSER here today!! If you saw the post above to Scarlett...the reason my daughter's :barf: :barf: boyfriend's :barf: :barf: mom doesn't eat meat, it is because she can't stand the texture in her mouth....her parents are meat eaters...maybe one day you will fell the same way.I had a friend years ago that went vegetarian...several years later when he tried to eat meat again he got very ill...maybe there is something to it?...anyway, he worked his way back.

Well off to organizing the garage food pantry!!

Good Morning!
 

One more day of work and then it's the weekend!! We are going to spend all day Sunday with my mom. She had surgery on Monday on her foot and she's laid up for a couple of weeks. I plan to cook up some meals for her and do a bit of baking. She lives almost 2 hours away so I can't do a whole lot for her but spending the day with her will give others a break.

Gary: I also tried to keep up with "The Biggest Loser". I was really impressed with how great they looked. I didn't even recognize one of them on the final show. He was the one who had been sent home and then came back to win money. I can't remember his name. These people lost a lot of weight but then they worked out 8 hours a day!

As far as DS's asthma issue - we still haven't heard from the specialist. Up here in Canada we have free medicare but the waiting time is ridiculous. Hopefully we will hear soon. It's been 2 months now. DS's doc said it never takes this long. I think DR will end up sending him for allergy tests too just to rule out an possibilities there.

Sunny: Looking forward to your post. You must be incredibly busy these days. Is everything going okay?

doitforme: Little ones are so cute at Christmas. Their curiosity is so cute. Frustrating sometimes but cute. You are going to have so much fun with her.

Pixie: You have been doing awesome with your weightloss.:carrot: :carrot: Keep up the great work! Are people starting to notice?

Michele: Yum! You could come cook for me anytime. so glad to hear that you and Junior are hitting it off so well.

Hello to all I missed and to those MIA.

Have a great day!
