HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES

Angie, Reba, Rylee and I had a quiet New Year's Eve. My brother and sister in law were going to come over but she was sick. We had a nice chicken stew/soup that Angie made, her mom made it for me, a few weeks ago, when I stopped by from an out of town job. Very tasty and easy, if anyone wants the recipe let me know. We had a glass (ok I had 2) of a very fine $5.99 (OK it was on sale, usually $7.99) of Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon California 2003, then we watched a couple of "UGLY BETTY'S" and four "MY BOYS" that we had dvr'd. We were in bed at 10!! Just flat out party animals!!

My son came by for a couple of hours on Saturday night while his wife went to visit her folks. He was on his way to watch the UFC fights with his buddies. Had dinner with us, Angie made a nice salad with chicken and chipotle ranch dressing and tortilla chips.

It was an easy day after church yesterday. We went grocery shopping and when we got home my daughter was here. We had a nice visit with her, she had picked up the bridesmaid dresses, so her and Angie were checking those out. We worked on trying to get the wording just right for the wedding invitations and went over some of the details of the wedding. She and her fiance were heading up to Los Angeles to hang out with friends for New Years Eve. They were making their own dinner and staying home to play Loaded Questions.

Son and his wife headed out to a time share in Palm Springs for the next week ~ then the Honey n will be over! He has a time share he bought from his grandparents several years ago...way cheap! They got it when time shares first came out. He usually uses it for Hawaii but Nicole has family in Palm Springs so they are usung it out there this year. He called twice yesterday to talk football...gonna here from him today during the ROSEBOWL game I'm sure.

Lara went with her boyfriend to his college, Humboldt, for a week, then will fly back here for a week or so before going back to school in New York. Nephew spent the week-end with his mom, came back here for 5 minutes last night then off to a friend's house to spend New Years Eve "hangin' out".

AUNT SUE~Glad to hear you are safe from the storm! Sounds like you will be spending a lot of time with your doctor soon, hope he is cute I hope you have a great trip....it is gonna be a great day for the start of it....the 6th will be the 11th anniversary for Angie and me.

Well, it is 7am here, better finish my and get some work done before the games start. Have a great day with your families.

I may start a new thread later today...if not I will soon okie-dokie?

2007 IS GONNA BE WAY COOL FOR EVEYONE!

We had a very quiet new year's eve. We woke up to a foot of snow everywhere. Church was cancelled! DS and DH spent 3 hours shovelling! Other than that we relaxed, watched a couple movies, etc. Just like you Gary we were in bed by 11:00. Party animals we are!!!



This morning I made waffles with fruit sauce. I also have cinnamon bun dough rising. It's nice to have an extra day to get some things done that I don't get to very often. After that it's relax again!!

I have a busy week ahead of me and then a week holidays. We are planning to reno our bathroom and I'm excited about that! We are painting, replacing hardware and flooring. Also, a new countertop if we can find one that fits. It'll be chocolate brown and soft teal.

Gary: Enjoy your "football day". I am so glad you're a part of our thread. Keep things interesting around here. Even though I'm almost at my goal weight I still need this thread and the support it gives me. Happy New year to you and Angie!!!

Sue: Wow! You're going to be busy just with appointments. I am praying that everything goes well for you with them. Enjoy your holiday. Make sure you post when you get back! We'll miss you!

Rachel: A plateau at Christmas is a good thing!! I'm sure I gained a couple but starting today it's back on track - eating healthy and exercising.

Where in Canada were you? I live in Manitoba!

I just want to wish everyone the best in 2007. God bless you!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! E.Z. AND ANGIE! I would wait till the day but will not have a computer... 11 years is along time in today's world.... My doc. is an older man He is a little shorter than me and is oriental I believe or at least he looks to be... he has been all business when I have seen him but I am told he has a good sense of humor so may discover this at a later date.

Glad you got a day to relax, breakfast sounds yummy... bathroom sounds nice choc/teal pretty together I leave very early Sat. am plane takes off at 5:30am then it will be relaxation time for a week yeah! God Bless!

I posted once here before, but have been MIA for a while. I lost my girlfriend when she was hit by a car walking across the street on Dec 08, 2006, so I haven't felt like writing. My cell (bible study group) has been a great support. I need to get back into the healthy eating and excercise though. I have been emotional eating and have gained the pounds I lost. With God, I can try again and know that he is there to cheer me on.
I live in Windsor, Ontario Canada and we haven't had any snow yet. Christmas was so mild. It hardly felt like December. There were days we were wearing spring jackets. The tags are still on my sons new winter boots.
I'll try to make a point to get here more often to keep you up to date.
