Weekend Cluck
 

woohoo! I'm starting a daily! When was the last time that happened?

This week has been totally messed up. Stress at work, stress at home, PMS, 1st week of college classes in 6 years. I'm eating way off plan, but I'm going to be doing better starting NOW! Easy for me to say at 1:30 in the morning after finishing 3 class assignments and a quiz, let see how I do after tackling the 8 page Biology paper.

I've had enough caffine and sugar that I'm jabbering like a windup toy monkey according to my Mom. (hey, who else you gonna call at 1am for an opinion?) Anyway, back to the books for me. TGIATDW. (thank goodness its a three day weekend)

:jig:

Wow, Dyan! You are sure up late!

Yesterday was a terrible day that started when DH took off with BOTH sets of my car keys. I was due at a frassing Bingo so was not happy when he came back. However he did redeem himself by cooking marvellous chicken skewers for dinner.

It's raining now and I still have some perennials to dig for the plant sale that starts at 8. I also have my 6 pineapple cakes to ice but do have the icing made! Didn't even lick a finger either. I'm off to the greenhouse mid-morning and should go to a BBQ late afternoon but am going to beg off pleading work. Social lies are sometimes needed!

Gotta dash. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

American Chickies, please be safe this holiday weekend.

:grouphug:

Dyan I have only 1 of this 3 day weekend off. Today so I must get things done early. I am tired I have had 2 very gruling days at owrk and managed to stay OP!!!

Soo off to get my coffee and get things going in this house.

Morning Ruth!! and all to come.

g'morning!

:)

Morning!

Still alive here and getting better every day. I am going to see my family doctor this morning to inform him of what has happened and to get another prescription (I only have a month's worth of meds right now). I am sure he's going to demand that I see a counsellor. I have no problem with that since I would like to learn the behaviour therapy techniques to surviving the disorder. But for right now, I'm still shaky.

I'm lurking a little but know that I still care about all you guys :)

Awww....Pooky, been sending you vibes of strength.

and for you too Jenny.

and you too Ruth and Harry. What is it about men and car keys?

Been thinking alot about you guys but have just not had much time to post.

My boys are making me crazy. They are loud and noisy. Thank goodness for the cat, who is a female and is sitting quietly and nicely in the window, by the computer, purring. dh is still working tons of overtime and I could use a break.

I did get my hair cut yesterday. Finally found a gal who I like the way cuts my hair.

Morning to dyan, and susan and dottie.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

;)

Have a great day everyone!

morning :wave:

Yippee Skippee! The Church Sale is over and we made a good amount of money despite the pouring rain. Lurker Lorraine called and told Harry I was not needed in the Greenhosue today so................................................ .....I'm going for a nap!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Goodmorning Gals,

Thought I would formally introduce myself, this is Tonya from Covington, Louisiana. I have been here before, but waaaay back. Hope everyone is have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

Morning All!

It is (yet another!) cold and rainy day/weekend. As someone said to me yesterday, "if I wanted to live in Seattle, I'd move there!" :lol:

Kids are cranky but we've decided on a family grocery trip for our outside exposure of the day. At this rate we may have to curl up in front of a fire - I've already had to turn the heat back on two days ago...

Enjoy your day ladies!

Did G-shopping. Starting on the house again for the 4th time today!!

not much else. just trying to get things in shape for the next 2 days of work. then 2 of rest then 1 on 1 off (baseball game that night) then 2 on. UGH and whenever I get called in.

Cleaning out grannies house today. I feel like suck a theif taking anything! I need a shower before going back to sit Shiva for the night. I farmed out older boy for a sleepove and so othe grannie is sittling with little man tonight. I left $ for Pizza delivery and so it goes. Nice to see you here Tonya, welcome back...
Enjoy the long weekend

-L

Today must be grocery shopping day all around- I just got back with some nice salad things and some basics for the weekend. DH is puttering around downstairs...nice and quiet here!

L144S- I have so many objects from two grandmother's and one aunt's houses! I love having them even the stuff that's not really sentimental, but I think they would like seeing me use. My ironing board was my aunts and also some early CorningWare, and I use dishes, a lamp, 2 mirrors, and bunches of other stuff- they would get a kick out of it, and I smile when I think about it! The traditional china and pictures and so forth are fine, but I never fail to thank Aunt Leah for that great Corningware pan! So don't feel bad, you'll be glad later!

Hi to everyone else- Pooky, hang in there, that's why they call them ups and downs- you'll be up again in no time.

Time to get the pork chops into a marinade, I'm going to light up the grill I think- it's damp and overcast here, but it'll taste good!

have a good one!

Early afternoon here as I write this. The skies just opened up just as dh was getting set to power wash the patio. Ain't it always the way? Another layer of algae to be washed off when he finally gets to it.
I've been lazy today with the exception of baking a couple of loaves of bread. I usually start the dough in my bread machine and finish it in bake pans in the oven but today I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to prepare the dough. It sure rose high. I should have used my larger pans I think. THe loaves pouffed right up and over the sides. Sure smells good and wish I could have some but that's a no-no.
Yesterday I picked up the South Beach Diet book that I'd had on order from my local book store. I was all set to get going on it again today and then the blueberry/rhubarb squares called my name and before I knew it I'd gobbled up several economy size slabs. SHAME! It's like once I start I just can't seem to stop. There's a devil :devil: in me saying "It's ok. Just one more won't make a difference". GAAAHHHHHHH!! :stress:
I've made my big recliner chair wonky again. It looks sturdy and it's very comfortable but I guess it doesn't like my bulk so now when I push it into recline, it won't come back up again. I have it upside down at the moment, hoping dh will fix it for me. I can see where the metal accordion thingies are pulling away from the wooden frame. Darn. I hate when that happens.
I hate being fat but I guess not enough to actually stick with a diet that will help. :?:

Hi All

Day 2 for me, going good so far. Threw in some "roughage", as 1st day was pretty bad stomach wise.

Does anyone ever use the chat, or just stay in touch through the threads?

:?:

I personally do not use chat as time is of the essence for me. no time to chatt. when i do next thing I know 3 hours has passed.

I know several of the ladies have chatted before and probably get on regular like.

Today Still OP. Dipping into the PB on celery as I am starving.

I started to clean out my closet as i can no tput away my "small clothes" untill I have room. and my large stuff is sitting on my dressers waiting to go in the drawers. I think the energy is just starting to return. I love this WOE. I get so much more done and feel soo good!!!

Good morning! Have a happy Sunday! We just had a splash of sun so it may clear up today. The Girls and I need to walk!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
:grouphug:

Coffee is on and trying to get things back together for havign to go to work this noon.

Good OP day yesterday!!

Catch you all later.

I hear we might have 5 minutes of sun today, can't wait. It's been overcast and drizzly on and off for weeks!

We are getting closer to our closing on our new house- probably for the first week in June. Then there will be a few weeks of prep- this house needs EVERYTHING redone, and we won't fully move in til late June. Yesterday I ordered flooring for a bathroom. And I've been collecting paint chips like a crazy woman. I have quite a pile! I have been packing up some boxes of stuff we don't use much- I'm getting excited, but worried since there is so much painting and prep to do before we get in, and of course, DH thinks we can do it ourselves. Ha. We'll see. :lol:

Making a steak tonight with a big salad. Maybe we'll rent a movie. That's all the excitement here- hope everyone has a good Sunday!

Hi ladies and gent!

Slept in til 930 this morning have not done that in I can't remeber when, DD slept til 10, DS was up at 8 but he turned on the TV and watched Power Rangers and left us alone. Then we had a HUGE breakfast - no bread for me. We have cleared all the pool patio furniture off and are getting ready to pressure wash - hopefully it won't rain on us as it did on you Linda!!!

Nothing planned today - more of the pool scene if it stays nice. Have to watch the NASCAR race tonite!

Had friends over for steaks last night it was fun, but our friends wife is a bit of a weird bird...oh well it takes all kinds. :dizzy:

Have a great, safe, happy day!!:wave:

quick hi this morning :wave:

HAPPY SUNDAY ALL
 

Thought I I would get drier, warmer weather by coming south (Boston to the Jersey Shore) for a few weeks....

NOT!

At least I can't complain about it being too hot to do the walking I need to do.

I posted regularly at 3FC eons ago it seems - but not on low carb - mostly on general and WW. But now I am an Atkid (starting my second induction week today) and looking forward to giving and getting support here.

:rain:

Lemonade

Just a quickie today !
 

Trying to catch up on some posts and my chickie buds!

Things here are same ol'. Crazy as usual, stressful as usual. I've even found myself when shopping seeing little things that remind me of my friends here. (Hey Peach - found the cutest flying pig figurine here! Now for the chicken hat! hehehe)

Wishing we had a summer chick meet planned sometime in July - I'm sure game! Dawn and I slightly talked about NY or DC for the summer trip. But game for anything interesting! hint-hint!

Mostly OP and dropping slowly. My plan is to go back to the gym starting Tuesday. Even if it's just walking - it's more than what I'm doing now!

Hugs and love to all my buds and big welcomes to all the lurkers and new chickadee friends!

PS-puter is driving me nuts but still attempting to post and working on dh for a newer model!
