    Hope you survive.

    I sold a gadget out of my totalled car for $25 on eBay! It got 9 bids. Cool, huh?

    Flylady made me clean out my pantry. It took me all week . What should I do this week?

    Gotta go list more stuff.

  • One Hundred Fouty Four Point Six DS wasn't home so I didn't have to meals. I did eat though.

    Flylady does NOT approve of ebay. She says get it out of your house now!!!! Don't hold on it waiting for a buyer.

  • Stop being so skinny, Peachy!
    How'd you do that anyway?

    We have yet to sell anything on eBay, but dh has bought 3 (count 'em) remote controlled cars, 4 DVDs, a computer game and a tail pipe for his motor scooter in the last 3 weeks. Where are we supposed to put all this stuff?

    McDonald's tasted like McDonald's always does. And we saved 33%! I had a large Diet Coke and after not drinking any caffeinated, carbonated beverages for the last month it had the desired effect. When we got home I headed down to the laundry room, got everything off the floor, sorted it, and swept the whole room. Now I'm exhausted.

    Well, I didn't save any of the mousepoop, so she ought to be happy with that. And if that ain't good enough, she can blow it out her shorts, eh Bagz?

    Anyway, she's just frustrated because she can't figure out how to use eBay. Peaches, you can tell her for me that if she wants me to quit waiting around to sell things, I will send her all of my junk in a big moving van. I'll send a TV crew with it to film her reaction. Talk about having a !!!

    Interesting motivational method, Sugar. Mass quantities of caffeine! That reminds me, I just made another pot of coffee. Must go get some to fortify me while I list riding breeches and sailing storage hangers on eBay.

    Thank you SO much. It's in Germany, it's in Canada, who's next?

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! At least that's something to celebrate. Green beer, anyone?

    Something's wrong with my oven and the dishwasher rack is about ready to fall off. But my laundry room is a dream.

    I didn't lose any weight, BTW, but I didn't gain any either, so it's a start. Food count for today: 2 oatmeal muffins, 1/2 banana, 1/2 pear, 2 cups black tea, 1 yummy Greek pepper with feta cheese and tomato sauce left over from last night, 1 piece sugar-free gum (to mask the garlic ).

    Friend with baby coming over to use our printer because hers doesn't work. I have already cleaned. Praise me.
  • ONE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR POINT SIX I have plateued already. It's pouring rain here.

    Sugar, stay indoors and away from germs. For amusement, you can order things from Kiwi and make her pay postage.
  • I'm the oldest and fattest. I'm going to be 47 next month - oh yeah, I already told you that and I weigh 164. I give up, I'm going to weight watchers on wednesday evening. I need major group motivation.

    I do not want to be at work today. It's a beautiful sunny day out there and I'm missing it.

    If I think of anything interesting to say, I'll be back. In fact, I'll probably be back in spite of having nothing interesting to say.
  • Rock on!
    Hi kids. Anybody watch the VH1 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction show? Of course you didn't. It was good. I've been looking forward to it all week. I love Elvis Costello. Well, not personally, personally he's sort of an unpleasant geek, but somehow his music really gets me. He played "What's so Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding?" Oh well, you probably had to be there. Also inducted were the Righteous Brothers, who can still pretty much sing, the Clash minus Joe Strummer , AC/DC (yeah, yeah, yeah, not my thing), and the Police, who can definitely still get it done .

    Who is this strange chick using Kiwi's account, you ask? I think I must have been a Banger Sister in another life. This life I'm Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes. Or possibly I'm Diary of a Mad Housewife

    Sugar, the problem with your oven is that you are not supposed to use it as a dishwasher. Take the d/w rack out of it and it will work much better. Congratulations on your cleaning.

    I have a self-cleaning oven. Why are there 2 cans of oven cleaner on the floor of my pantry? For that matter, should there be anything on the floor of my pantry? If you have a pantry that seems to have been made out of a closet and the shelves don't start until about waist high, you can't just leave it empty under there. That would be insane. Unfortunately as soon as you put anything on the floor, it multiplies and fills up and becomes a big mess of things piled on top of each other. What dilemma.

    Hi Peacher. Have a nice time on the plateau. Enjoy the view, take a little nap, have a lemonade. Soon the tour bus will come and get you so that you can move on.

    Hi Wabbit. You may be old but you'll never catch up to me.

    You'd think I'd had too much green beer, wouldn't you? I think it may be the fact that I haven't been out of the house since Friday, and when you look out the window, everything is still black and white. Mostly white. Middle of March and still giant drifts of snow.

    Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!

  • Kiwi, why would you assume no one would watch the r&r hall of fame? All it required was sitting on the couch and watching a bunch of middle aged has-beens wax nostalgic about the good old days...Right up my alley. I loved it.
    I'm supposed to go to Bulges today, I don't feel like it. Do you think it's hormonal? I haven't had sugar today...after a week of bad behavior. I will not weigh myself at Bulges, as I usually do. Why depress myself?
    I went to Sam's today. I bought a TON of food. I'm exhausted. Now I have to take the boys for haircuts.
    I think my son had that Pneumonia thing. He had pneumonia that he couldn't shake, all winter. Finally, they put him on an antibiotic, but since the original illness was viral, all it did was stop the secondary infections.
    Our science fair projects are going well. We're doing
    1. Who has the most bacteria in his mouth, a boy or a dog?
    2. which room has the highest bacteria count, a kitchen or a bathroom?
    I have petri dishes all over the living room. It gives me an excuse not to clean.
    Wabby, I'm older and fatter than you. Please don't steal my only claim to fame. I'm also depressed. I don't look good because I haven't bought any spring clothes, yet, so I look shabby in last years washed out clothes. My car is messy. My house is too. The wash isn't done. I could go on with other reasons I am more wretched than you, but I'll let it suffice to say that I'm older and fatter, OK?
    Peaches, you tiny slip of a thing. You are a normal weight, I consider anything under 150 to be within normal range.
    I have to go clean up from bringing in the groceries. bye

    haha! I knew you would! I really liked Billy Joel's intro. It was actually interesting (not your usual award show fare)

    What an...interesting...bunch of science projects. I had a nice science project in my fridge the other day. Yogurt with a blue fuzzy layer on top. MMM yummy.

    I haven't eaten anything yet today, and it's 3:42. And I have a headache (not surprising). Maybe I'll go heat up something.

    Ah, that's better. A couple of toasted cheese sandwiches and a can of V-8. Breakfast of champions

  • I know the answers but I'm not telling until after the science fair is over. Do the petri dishes match your sofa, Lush?

    Going to bed now. Can't stay awake long enough to see what Dubya has to say. Who knows what the world will be like when I wake up?

    Billy Joel? I missed Billy Joel? He must be, like, 70 by now, huh? And the Police? I went to a concert of theirs once. Sting's still got it.

    Way to go eating breakfast at 3:42, Kiwi! You enjoy it so much more when you're awake and absolutely starving.
  • 181 this morning. It's a loss.

    I've been sick since last Wednesday so it's been all I could do to walk. Now I have to do papers for school.

    I went to a concert of Sting's once. He's even better in person. I have a tape of a Billy Joel concert.
  • I remember when a local veternarian's dd did the experiment on dog vs human mouth bacteria. It was great. Everybody was betting on the outcome. (not actually betting but very interested)
  • Can one of you green-thumbed geniuses please tell me which gardening zone I'm in? We get maximum minus 15 celcius in winter which is who knows what in fahrenheit. I bought herbs today - lemon thyme, normal thyme, sage and rosemary. Can I put them outside already? I'm so ignorant.
  • ONE HUNDRED FORTY FOUR POINT FOUR I'm sure I could put weight ON faster than this.

    Congrats on YOUR loss, Cherry.

    I have nothing witty or charming or interesting to say. I am obsessed with being younger and cuter than all of you.
