Good Sunday morning all!!!!

nothing going on here!! I am trying to get my house squared away!!!!

Hope everyone has a happy sunday!!!!!

I'm up at 12:30 am, and I'm still not first? I got my shelf up. I am so not Bob Villa. Off to bed now...

Well, it's still Saturday night here but I'll check in for Sunday anyhow.
I am SO op, I can't believe it. Most of my cravings have gone away and I'm not as dozy as I was before. Ketostix are a medium purple tonight. I sure hope that means I'm burning off my body fat and not just the fat in the food I'm eating.

Pouring rain so I'm feeling achy again but I have to say that since I started taking my Cal-Magnesium pills again, I haven't had as many really bad aches and pains. Thanks for the suggestion, whoever it was...Pooky I think. BTW, Pooks, I hope you're feeling better.

Good Sunday Morning to you all, It is now 5:07am. ahead of things a little this morning. I was so not op yesterday, I don't know what got into me lately. I was so good over Christmas with a few slip ups .
Chicks, I am trying to find these pork rinds, pork puffs, well they have herd of them but no one carries them?? I looked for two hours after work yesterday, I was so hungry that I bought a bag of pretzels and ate about 15.
How is the new PC, ruth? I bet it is working so oo good that you don't even have to turn it on! HAHA. And the pups, sound interesting. CAreful of the kindling, he will expect it.
Scooby, 3.4 lbs is wonderful, I would be happy with that. I only lost 2.25 after three weeks and that was with 4 days of poops.
I see a kitty or three at the shelter that need a nice Dottie and hubby. You could call them, "Faith, Hope, and Good Will".
Jiff you made my cookie hurt with the finger story, Ms24GAl you go girl!You can.
Peach, I have unsubscribed from FlyLady. I couldn't do the e-mail thing again.
Samsgrandma, enjoy life any way you see fit for today, that is why it is called the presant, it is a gift from God.
Mis-No carb information in this one, I think you can eat as much as you want? Cant you? WTG with the MIL. See,I think they see the I'm trying look on our face.
Well I hope that you are feeling better Pooky, I know that you will only feel like drinking for a few days.
I think your Barbie Bed is wonderful Sherrie, and I bet you are thought of as the bestest Mom.
Linda, take the sheets back.
Dyan, why are you up so early? I am only up because I have to go to work.
Well I won't be up so early tomorrow as it is my day off. I will have a long sleep in and then do a little house blessing around here. I also know how to Fly a little even without the Flylady e-mail.
Well off to get ready for work, have close to OP day.

A friend listens to our words but hears our heart.

Tazcat.

It worked, it worked, it worked!!! The new bed, the new linens, in fact, we have moved her room from where it used to be, and it's now closer to my room. She stayed in her bed ALL night! No pitter patter of little feet in the middle of the night with "I had a bad dream" and her climbing all over me to get back to sleep. She is a happy camper this a.m. and so am I!

Today we have to go visit her aunt Nonnie and then her Grandma and Grandpa, so I better get this laundry done before time runs out. I hope ya'll have a wonderful day! Talk to you later.

Feeling better today after a nice, still-not-long-enough sleep last night. Yesterday was just a lost cause. Ended up taking DN for a couple of hours in the afternoon for a little computer play time, to give her dad some time to run errands. SIL stable, with some increase in pain, so pain meds are added. Other than that, OK.

We decided to hold off a few weeks on the kitten- there is just too much going on here, we're both distracted by SIL, work issues, and I have some house projects that need attention this month- and a baby needs a lot of time! So, I will work on finishing up my kitchen walls- some paper removal, replastering, and painting that will take up a few weekends at the rate I work. Of course if DH would take off from work, he could do it in 2 days, but he won't. He only has 12 weeks vacation accrued, but he thinks he is very valuable and that they will fall apart without him! Never mind the 6 colors of wall paint and various paper, adhesive and plaster on our walls. It could stay like that forever as far as he's concerned. Oh, well, I enjoy it, but it's a lot of work.

What else? It's great to have the board so busy... everyone is doing great, it's very inspiring. I skipped my exercise yesterday, but did it today, and have had a protein shake for breakfast. I'll finish the leftover chicken for lunch, maybe a big salad, then marinated pork chops for dinner. Cauliflower? Or green beans.

Enough... hope everyone has a great day, and do something YOU want to do today!

Hi just back from Church where Hershey quickly renewed her friendships with her people pals. It's so nice to have her back and happy to be back. Lucy is in ecstasy over having a doggie playmate again.

She may not be as happy this afternoon when we leave to go for show handling class. I'm a wee bit nervous because I hear you have to run/trot with the dogs. Why didn't I get a chihuahua (sp?) instead of this tall beast! I think the last time I ran was to grab a kid who was heading for trouble - 1965 maybe?

We have kind of been living in the kitchen and back roomn with the woodstove the past week. This morning I went into the parlour to get a hymn book and realized the tree is still up! We took down the decorations and put them away but...... Anyhow Harry dismantled the darn thing while I was at Church but we still have to lug it to the basement! Sheesh!

Have to go think of something creative and low carb for lunch - maybe cold pork with mushrooms, peppers and onions, covered with cheese and broiled a la LindaBC? Maybe a Chinese soup (minus the cheese) with egg white noodles?

Gotta run and throw a load intoi the dryer - need to wear layers to class as she keeps the room really cold and works you hard until you are roasting! Anyhow, it'll be a good solid hour of fast walking, running (maybe) and maybe Lucy will learn something!

Good Sunday Morning........ well, I (sorta) took your advice yesterday......... I did a couple of errands (only the ones I really wanted to do!), tackled some of Mt Laundry so that I'll have clean scrubs to wear to work this week, and then took it easy for the rest of the day...... relaxed, played on the puter, burned some CDs, chatted on the phone, etc etc etc...... then went out to dinner at a wonderful Turkish restaurant in Deer Park, where it is totally possible to remain OP and eat wonderfully well - VERY INEXPENSIVELY! YUM YUM YUM! Today will be some organizing of my office - I just can't stand the clutter in here, and there literally is no room for a client to sit down! Oh well, gonna make a start, anyhow!

Sherrie - glad she enjoyed her new room...... now you can get some rest of your own!

Dottie - glad you're feeling better today........ continued prayers go out for your sil........

Well everyone, have a good one........

Ruth..... you snuck in on me...... glad Hershey is back where she belongs! Enjoy your class today with Miss Lucy!

Good Sunday afternoon!

I went to the Temple last night for a comedy night. it was fun and the turnout was incredable. We served wine, coffee and dessert. I sold raffle tickes so I only had one mini eclair.

Older boy is having a great time and only called because the other mother made him do it. i did get and i love you...but I did not tell him how much I miss him.

Ruth, just think of it a short little sprints.
GFM: Congrats on your first night without DD. I hope you have another. Enjoy your day with family.
Tou you early chicks..when I see 4:45 in the morning, I roll over...lol my DH would kill me on a Sunday am if i got up them and started puttering aropund the house.

Cooking today. We are making Chili and DH made soup yesterday. I have a ton of laundry to fold, and little man thinks I should get dressed...maybe.

Feeling more human today, although I had some pretty wacky dreams! Lots to catch up on but I am taking it one thing at a time--do one thing, sit down for 1/2 hour and so on. Eventually it will all get done.

tazcat, did a little research for you--I looked on the package of pork rinds I'm eating. The brand name is Porky's and here's the website:

I'm sure you can call them up and find out where you can buy them, or even if you can order them in.

Hope the rest of you have a great day, I'm off to slowly get some laundry done.

See you tomorrow!

Good Afternoon Ladies

I actually had to squint when I opened the blinds around mid morning lol.....its been a wonderfully lazy sunday!!

Its off to Starbucks in a little bit, then off to the Kmart for some laundry soap......and maybe just maybe I can get hubby to come for a sunny afternoon walk with me.

Enjoy your day ladies

Afternoon Ladies!!

Well, after having passed up the cake and chips at the baby shower Hubby and kids and I went to Tumbleweeds last night for supper. I did really well, had salad, steak and a few grilled veggies--not very many.

My kids have company today--so now the 4 of them are trying to drive me insane!! You'd think with freinds here they would go off and do there own thing--yea right!!

Went to store-and bought more lo-carb thing--let me tell you after the first 5 days this gets a little easier!!
Pooky--hope you make full recovery soon!!
TTFN ladies!!

DH made it 1 week on Atkins. He's currently stuffing a Snickers Ice Cream bar in his face. He's giving up because he gained half a pound and he feels sick and tired all the time. Boo Hoo. I'm not feeling particularly sympathetic today. I spent all day cleaning while he worked on his ex-wife's computer.

It actually snowed in DALLAS!!! it was beautiful. we came out of church with in coming down. It never got cold enought to stick, but sure looked pretty. Of course it's all gone now, but it was fun while it lasted,

WoW--Dylan what's up with fixing the EX's puter?? I'd think if your DH made it a week he shoulda been feeling better??
More importantly-how are you?? Are you doing Atkin's OK? It'll probably be harder without DH--But stick it out!
