Just stopping by quickly before I head to bed. What a day. The kiddos were actually great today. (By the way, Noelle, I tell the kids that I live to drive them crazy. )

I noticed today that my ankles were swollen again and I wasn't really feeling very well. I had the school nurse take my blood pressure and it was up again. I left school early (actually on time) and just came home to rest. Hubby told me again that he wants me to find another job. It's really not the kids, but the district policies that are driving me nuts. I am looking for another school for next year.

I have to sign off now, my upper back is really hurting now. It does that if I sit too long.

Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!
Take care everyone. Chat later.

Cal

Good Morning!!! I ordered some new fat lady tees for when we open the bakery/. I like v neck tees so I found some online so maybe I can feel more comfy when we open. Jay wants to start a diet too so maybe come Monday I can get the groove. It is just REALLY REALLY hard to stick with it while we are getting in new desserts all the time. I am also going to get my hair chopped off again. I cant stand the feel of it on my face.

Julie, I miss ya!!! Maybe I will have to give her a call when I get a free minute.

Cal, I hope you get better soon.

Noelle, Whatcha up to?

Cherie, Did your cold go away yet?

Kempy, How is business going? Any word yet on your refund? I hope we get one this year.

Hey girls, HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Does anyone have plans for the weekend? Super Bowl maybe? I could give a rat's behind about that I already told Rick that he has the honors of watching Michael on Sunday--all the guys are getting together at my BIL's place and playing poker and watching the game. My sister's and I will be either going to the movies or to a Vietnamese fair (food!) or both. Business is booming here, we've got more remodels than we can handle...the plumber guy seems to be working well . I'm still on the fence about it though, don't want to get my hopes up too high.

Angie, you are so funny-- "fat lady tees" -- hey, that's the kind that I wear! Oh well, what can ya do? I agree w/Kempy though, about you being an inspiration around here. You would get that groove and just week by week the pounds would come off. You worked your butt off twice and I know you can do it again when your mindset is right. I bet you'll be busy w/your bakery and you won't have as much time to eat so you'll probably drop lbs just by being busy. You are a great, fun person so don't put yourself down just because of the weight.

Cal I really hope you can find a district w/better policies, less stress and more pay--more pay is always good for a teacher. Has your walking group started? I've been wanting to go walking so bad but the weather's been really wet and muddy the past week, my normal route would be like walking through a mud pit. I'm praying for sunnier skies for the next week.

Julie, I miss ya...did ya catch AI on Tues. or Wed? It's weird because some of the ones that got through didn't really thrill me. I think I'd rather watch when they whittle it down to the top 12 or so.

Cherie how are you doing today? Is Hannah back to school? Enjoy the weekend...

Kempy, does NO get rowdy over the weekend with Fat Tuesday and everything coming up? I think I'd like to come over during Mardi Gras but I'd be a little bit scared of the crazy atmosphere

I really need to get some paperwork done but I'll try and pop in later. Have a good one girls.

Almost forgot, Angie did you see the post about updating your weight tracker--maybe in the announcements or forum help section (im not exactly sure)? You can just change the numbers in the html code (in your signature line) instead of having to create a whole new tracker every time.

Hi my beautiful FRIENDS!!

It so sweet to hear you guys missed me. I missed you guys like crazy. You don't know what you have until its gone....friends like you all love ya girls!!
Well this is a test post because we are using sil's old hard drive. Our old computer is shot, bummer!! Oh well its always something,lol. Well I am going to try and post and see if this works.

WooHoo it worked....dh has to fuss with this thing some more. It is still not working that great. So you know why if I am not posting because of this thing, if I am not here. I miss being on here because it makes me feel accountable for what I eat and let me tell you girls it has been totally down the tubes eating this week. Yesterday and today were horrible. But we now have some fresh healthy food in the house. And I got you girls back . (Hopefully if this thing keeps working)

Noelle it was so wonderful talking to you on the phone. You have a beautiful HI accent. I probally sound like an "up north" girl !! I wish we all could talk at the same time.

Well I have to get off of here and let dh try and get this thing up and running. We may have to buy a whole new system which would not be good because of the money, but it would be nice to have a new computer. I will try and go back and read the old posts. Bye for now everyone....Julie
Hi Noelle, Angie, Kempy, Cherie, Cal and Summer. Miss and Luv ya!! Have a fun filled weekend.

Happy Saturday girls, just popping in a quick one.

Julie, girl glad to see you back...a borrowed harddrive is better than a dead one. I'm crossing my fingers for you to get a new one so we don't have to go a day without you

I am such a scatter brain lately. Today was the first day of swimming lessons for level 2...well, I'm puttering around the house then get him to the pool--we're an hour late! His class is an hour earlier due to the level change, DUH! I didn't even check. So, he misses the first of 9 clasess. He was reluctant to go anyway but when I told him we went at the wrong time, he acted as if we wanted to go, that stinker. Anyway, that was a waste of a good part of the morning. I don't feel like laundry, I don't have the money to go shopping....what to do what to do?

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Hello girls on this beautiful Saturday.

It is in the upper forties here. It feels like Spring. Tomorrow the same but rain. Thats okay. Opened up the windows this morning. It felt good to let the fresh air in. Tonight we are grilling cheeseburgers. Yum I can't wait. I promise to try and have only one. I am thinking of what healthy and delish snack foods I can make tomorrow for the superbowl. Maybe some taco dip with ff refried beans and ff sour cream and all the extra fixing to go with it. I just talked to my brother out in CA. I sent his bd present out on Sunday to get there on Tuesday but he just got it. Good thing they didn't melt(chocolate covered carmels). Anyway he was eating one while we were on the phone and I swear I could smell them all the way across the country . I am like a damn bloodhound,lol!!

Noelle you are just to sweet. Sorry to hear about the hectic morning. Don't worry I never feel like laundry. I wish we could go window shopping. Thats always fun. I really don't have the money either to shop right now. And its hard because there are so many cute Spring clothes on-line now. I really agree with you about AI, I just can't wait until they start showing some good ones and get down to the top 12 either.

Hi Angie, Kempy, Cherie, and Cal. Gotta go help with dinner. Can't let dh make supper alone. Well I probally could .

Nighty Night Girls

Well I did have one cheeseburger w/o a bun but made up for the carbs with a small brownie....ugh, I needed chocolate though so bad. I just should go buy those chocolate calcium chews. Good for you and wrapped in one little piece.
I am not weighing in this weekend. Don't want to get discouraged. TOM is a week from now and I all ready feel the effects. So I am just going to go about my week trying to stay OP and not stress what the scale tells me!! Pretty slow this weekend?? Everyone must be busy. Didn't do to much today....cleaned and cleaned some more and more,lol. Dh took the kids to Grandma's so I had time to clean alone. That was nice to hear silence .
Well talk to you all later. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Good Morning girls!!! I have Britt's cold now so I am feeling like garbage. My throat is scratchy and yucky. Luckily MIL is in Florida so we dont have to cook for her bakery this week so it should be a slow week.

We have most of the equipment for the bakery now. We are just waiting on the soda cooler and a fridge and freezer for cheap and we should be able to get those easy enough. I have bought all of the coffee stuff(hard to do since I dont drink coffe) and all of the paper products and bags,etc.

We went and looked at Double wides and Manufactured homes yesterday since it was so beautiful out. 48 degrees and so sunny and warm feeling!!!!! I loved it. I am thinking that if I can get enough money out of my house then I can just do this again in Greenville. I love my house because I got it the way I wanted it so I dont have any bad feelings about living in a "doublewide" Plus the damn things are so damn expensive I dont understand why people say trailertrash. Sorry to rant but my two ex sister in laws(sisters in real life ) always have such negative things to say but yet my house is 20 times nicer than theirs. so it is a touchy subject for me.

Kempy, I am so sorry!!! I forgot to congratulate you on your AWESOME loss!!!!! I bet you look hot now!!!

Julie, Isnt it amazing that we hit 40 and we are like wow it is so nice out?

Noelle, Jay liked the volcano picks. He really wants to come for a visit.

Well, I suppose I should go do my hair and go to work.

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!

Hi girls

Angie that is so exciting about your store. Everything is happening so fast. I still I am in shock. A happy shock . I can't wait to see pictures of it. Pretty sad we are acting like summer when it is in the forties, I agree .
Btw, my aunt and uncle built a manufactured home and let me tell you it is so beautiful. I just love it.

Well I got some bbq'ed chicken baking in the oven. I have been good today so far. I am not feeling to well either. Sore throat and sinus thing. Feeling like yuck. This year I have been lucky. Have not been sick at all. I hope the kids don't catch it. Well I want to catch some more Food TV. I am watching Paula's Home Cooking, I just love her recipes and she is such a fun outgoing lady. Check back later. Julie

Hi girls again. Just checking in. Oh dh just got home and needs the computer. Bye for now

Good Morning!! Now we are all sick in my house. Luckily today we are just doing frozen so we can all get better. Corey was feeling okay so he went to school but the girls are still in bed.

Hey I won this weeks free book giveaway on 3FC. I picked the cookbook by the lady who has the show on the food channel. Kathleen something. I love her show. Maybe there will be some nice lowfat recipes that I can use in the bakery.

Well, where is everybody today?

Hey girls, happy Monday. How was your weekend? Yesterday I sent Rick off w/my dad and Michael to watch the Super Bowl at my BIL's house over the mountain (on the other side of the island)...I went w/three of my sisters to watch the movie Sideways. It was so hilariously stupid, it's amazing how dumb men can be The weather's beautiful here today, nice and sunny and we're expecting to top out at around 82 degrees . This is a nice change from all that rain last week. Don't forget to watch the Pro Bowl next weekend on tv--I'm pretty sure it's broadcast nationally so you can see if we've got sunny skies then. Damn, 40 degrees must be tropical for you guys after all that single digit stuff.

Angie, congrats on your cookbook win, that's great! This site is so great to do giveaways like that when it's actually free to come here. 3FC rocks baby! I try to post at least once a day so I can be eligible for that drawing...I wasn't near the computer this weekend though. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Maybe I sent my itchy scratchy throat to you from last weekend? Sorry

Julie, what's shaking today? How's the computer holding up? Mine freaked me out this morning, saying Windows didn't start due to software changes or something like that. I am going to have my friend come over and clean this thing out when we go on vacation...

Hi to Kempy, Cal, Cherie and everyone else. Back to put the nose to the grindstone.

Be back later.

Hi girls just popping in. I am not feeling well today at all. When I got up this morning I was so dizzy I felt like I was going to keep falling to the right.

Noelle glad you had a nice weekend. And happy for you that the weather is beautiful by you today. So far so good with the computer. We thought we use this one until it quits and then buy a new one. I hope your computer is behaving now.

Angie that is great about the book. Hope everyone feels better soon in your house. I am praying the kids don't get what I have. Yuck!!

Well hello everyone else. I don't know if I will be on later or not. Just feeling to sick. And I would just love to crawl into bed but I have the kiddos. I can't wait until dh gets home from work. Its hard enought to take care of myself right now. But I will manage, Moms just have to . Have a great day everyone and don't work to hard.
