kiKo Dahlink... I can't take credit for this one..someone said somewhere that Wine is a FRUIT ....so perfectly legal on any plan at any phase! ..
So good to hear the little one is getting healthfully chubby...
Ah, some multigrain wheat thins, portwine cheese please with my Whine..........

Happy weekend, ladies! I'm doing better today, haven't gotten on the treadmill yet but that's my plan. Chugging SF kool-aid and trying to make myself eat things I'm utterly sick of...but it's all for the best, right?

Hi there, We have had heavy rain and winds off and on all day due to hurricane Dennis being west of Florida.They are saying it may come in at Pensacola and it is now a cat 3 storm which can do major damage.I have stayed in house where it is nice and dry.Hubby got drown earlier today.He looked pitiful when he came home soaked. Of course I laughed at him.
I fixed some brown rice for supper and it never did get fluffy. I thought it would be nice for a change. We ate it but it wasn't too good. I like to put a can of tomatoes in once it is done and that gave it some flavor.
The wind is howling outside.At least there is no lightning.Just rain and wind.

Anchor...I can assure there was nothing more than cleanin rocks and pipes around here! I can only dream...DH is not your average bear when it comes to some things! That's why I say marriage ain't everything! lol It's been a loooooong time around here! But has the nerve to ask why I'm ill! lol! Don't worry about DS just imagine how you would feel puttin him on a plane to Aussie at the ripe ol age of 13! That's summin to stress about! lol He will be fine...don't worry! He'll keep the X safe! lol

Crossed over the border (TN) and had dinner with some friends from our old town. We ate at a place called Cahoots. It used to be the city jail and we ate in one of the old cells that they used to carry out to jobs to house the prisoners while they worked. Pretty neat I guess. Then we sat on the square watchin all the kids cruise by decidin who was drivin Momma n Daddy's car! lol I'm headin to bed...I hope DH is not sawin logs tonight like he did lastnight! I was about ready to scream....he wakes himself up! lol DD's flight landed this afternoon accordin to the tracker. It was Sun. morning for her. Talkin about wonderin where your day went! lol See y'all in the mornin'! Oh yeah keep it down I need some sleep early birds! lol I've been peckin very quietly tonight so I didn't wake anyone! teehee Sweet Dreams!

Please keep the hollerin' down to a bare minimum. Bamie is sleepin'!

We're heading back into hot weather again so I may be doing my nekkid rain dance sometime this week. Tickets are selling fast so book early.

Lucy and I are off to Church in less than an hour. After that I'll be finishing up some Judge's sheets for the Fair. This afternoon, I'll try to work in a visit to Harry. I am also trying hard to resist the urge to go out for dinner. I've been eating out too darn much and my ticker is telling lies right now!

What's happening chez vous?

Good morning, Another day of heavy rains and winds. Dennis is up to a Cat 4 hurricane which means a lot of terrible damage when it hits land.Hopefully no lives will be lost.
I sure do have a lot of aches and pains and I think it is the weather. We usually go out to ea for lunch and supper on Sundays but I think I am staying in where it is dry.

Good morning chicks.....it is gloomy here again today. What is it with the week ends lately, I have decided to stop doing week ends, I can't seem to stay OP at all. I can't even beging to explain the things that have jumped in my mouth. But I some how a bag of chips jumped right in my cart at the Co-op and into my mouth when I got home. Then some how I went into a trance and ended back at the store for ice cream and carmel sauce. I wish they would more the Co-op it is less than 3 minutes from my house.

Ellis- Ruth is right it is PA, we have our reservations for the camp site but I am waiting to call on the tickets til Monday hoping to get better than the online ones.

Ruth- Hope you sell lots of tickets for your naked rain dance. Don't go out for supper. Nasty things will jump in your mouth. Have a great day.

Kiko- glad to hear the baby is gaining. I will glady send her some extra pounds if she really needs them

Eleni- I hope you will be safe and dry during Denis. We have friends in Florida and we worry about them. Take care.

anchor- I think they were thinking that they would sell everything. But they made 57.00 between the three girls and they had a ball. They also sold lemonande and doughnuts. They are always trying to figure out how to make money. I hope ds has a great time when he is away. It is hard when your kids go away, my girls never want to stay home anymore but atleast I can they are only a friends house I not sure what I would do if they were father away than that. They each went to Toronto for 10 day with there grandmother and I missed them like crazy. Have a good day.

Bamiegurl- have fun with the pipes and rocks.

Me- I finally have all pictures in the right years and put back in my cedar chest and I am working on putting my wedding pictures in a photo album. My I was one "little chick" back then and I thought I was fat. If I could only get back there. I think I am going to clean the fridge maybe, I have a to do list but I am not sure if I am going to do it. I just might play on the computer and work on my slide shows that I have started for xmas. Can't decide which I want to do. Have a great day chicks.

Eleni, take care of those aches and pains, hon.
Saying prayers that everyone down there stays safe.

Bamie, hold a pillow firmly over DH's face. That'll keep him quiet.

Ruth, more heat. crap!!!!
I hope you have a good visit with Harry today. xoxo

CA85, you'll feel much better in the long run eating those things that you are "thoroughly sick of".

Kiko, congratulations on the pound down! I know... if it would drop off in lots of five pounds, we'd be much more inspired, eh?

mamaeli, did you find a sectional? Ah... KFC. I could be happy just eating the skin.
You know, I've just discovered that I'm lactose intolerant. Big DEAL!! I barely eat dairy!! I eat everything else, though! Why couldn't I be chocolate and chip intolerant!!

Amy, why is it that they drive us nuts, but when the kids leave for some reason, we want them back!

Schatzi, oh my goodness, that's a long drive! How's the packing going?

We went to that wedding yesterday. I have clothes strewn all over my dressing room floor. sigh. My new red skirt made me look like a big red barrel, so I eventually opted for nice summer pants instead. Nice BIG summer pants. ho hum.
I was thinking I could start running again soon if I'm feeling well enough, but if it's going to get hot again...
Funny how when you're at a wedding or something (or ANYWHERE, for that matter), you take comfort in seeing that are women there who are fatter than you.

Little Chick... I missed your post. You'll have fun in PA! (okay, I get it now. heh heh)
I think you'd be smart to "take the weekends off". Sometimes we just have to give ourselves a breather.

Mornin' Chickies!! I love reading all your posts! You ladies are absolutely fabulous and have really helped me stick to this thing this time. This site has been so great for me this past week and a half but today is the first hard day I've had in a while. Today I was supposed to go out to the woods but I feel disgusting!! PMS is kicking my butt! I'm crabby and feel like puking. I was good this AM and ate eggwhites w/ one yolk and summer squash and asparagus....yuck!! Eggs have never made me so sick before. I've been so good all week (except the little Taco Bell incident) and the stupid scale hasn't budged in 4 days!!! I've been so positive and excited since starting this diet but I'm getting sick of it today!! I've been drinking so much water I feel like I have an ocean inside me! Sorry to gripe, girls, I'm just having a bloated, icky day. Hope you all have a better day than me!

Mornin chicks!

Ruth...Thanks for keepin it down I enjoyed my sleep! lol

Eleni...We are supposed to get a lot of wind and rain from that up here as well. Nothing compared to you all down there but more than we are used to up here. Stay in and be safe. I guess I should call my dad and sis who live down there.

Little Chick.....I need to skip weekends weekdays weekmeals! lol Glad the girls had a good time!

Ellis...I have come so close to doin that before...lol He gets mad when I wake him up but I don't care cause I'm mad cause I can't go to sleep! lol

Pearshape...Hang in there sweetie it's juat a test! You will get through this.

Well my coffee is done so I need to grab a cup and wake up! DH is back under the house tryin to clean up the mess. Have a great day all!

Just a drive by ... very busy day! DH found a house for us in Holly Springs NC.. Yippppeeee... so all plans are on track..at least now we can move in at a "leisurely" pace, as we are shooting for a Sept 1st closing... With an August 1 rental ... We'll be able to load up the SUVs and move some of the stuff in...
Everybody have a great day! r

I think I'll (reluctantly) join the weekend off-plan club; I'm an unofficial lifetime member anyway......why is it so hard on the weekends? I too had an incident with Archway Windmill cookies jumping from the shelf, into my cart, and immediately into my mouth while unloading the bags at home. Things that I don't really care about during the week are suddenly irresistible on Saturday and Sunday, and then I spend Monday and Tuesday trying to recover......Anyway, just another normal Sunday around here. DS is asleep, and DH on the phone. Speaking of which, maybe we need to find some kind of supplement for these men, Bamie, if you catch my drift? I've seen "Horny Goat Weed" advertised in a fitness magazine.....hmmm? So glad you found a house, Schatzi! What a load off your mind--now for the packing, ugh! At least you can throw out the useless stuff. What happened, Ellis, that is hurting and keeping you from the treadmill? Great job in the maintaining, Go fishin'! And, hope you have a nice visit with Harry, Ruth. Kiko, every pound counts.........okay, so here it is late Sunday afternoon, so I hope you all have a nice night and Monday am. Oh, by the way, the discount liquidation warehouse going out of business forever sale had the couches marked "down" to $2500! That's no sale!!!!!!!!!

Mamaeli...So my DH is not unique? lol Sorry about the sofa! I hate those rock bottom prices they advertise to only find they are sky high!

Schatzi...Great news for y'all! NC is so pretty. I lived there for about 6 months when I was a teen. We lived in Durham.

I have been online all day tryin to find a package deal for new York cause the travel club is not goin cause only 10 peeps signed up but me and my MIL still want to go. I think we have settled on the Warwick and bookin through Expedia.com. DH has been watchin the race with his eyes closed and his mouth open! lol But now decides he wants on the pc so I am off of here. Lots of weather breaks for Dennis. Take care Fla. Chickies!

I am so glad to hear that other people have trouble staying OP on the weekend. I was begining to think it was just me.

We had two 60th birthday parties this weekend. The first one was a dinner and we were all suppose to be there ready to eat at 4:30pm. So I didn't snack or anything before we went. OK so we didn't eat until 7:00pm. I was so hungry that I finally gave in on the cheese and crackers and bread as well as the veggies I took. Then of course I was so out of whack by the time we did eat I ate way to much and of course was feeling crappy and convenced myself that cake would make me feel better. Uhg talk about feeling like crap afterwards.

The second party was at our house and I made mostly OP items but once again the cake got the better of me. So Monday morning I am going to be floating up on the P1 side of the beach for awhile.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.
