Good Evening Ladies!

Cindi: WOW! WTG on the job! You're gonna do great! Good luck on clothes shopping. Any news on having to move? Maybe the landlord will change his mind!

Spryng: I wanted to go see a movie tonight, but they aren't going to be showing Ray for a couple weeks. I asked the lady who owns the theatre when we were trick-or-treating last night. So I did go to the grocery store for a few things after dh got up. Supper was frozen pizzas for everyone else and I had a Smart Ones meal. I am soooo short on cals today, I can have a snack in a few. I still have like 610 left for the day. But WI is tomorrow morning so I will take it easy and hope for a good WI. Glad Bubba's fever is down. I would check his tonsils for white spots although not everyone gets them. Only a strep culture would tell for sure. Sounds like you are sooo ready to go to work! You go girl!

Kristin: That is sooo nice to help your neighbors like that. Hope you got all your errands done today.

Roxy: Thank you for posting your kids' names and ages. You cracked me up with your analogy of a day in your house! Yes I live in the country, on 2 acres about 3 miles outside of town. I hope I can get out soon too! I think I'm just feeling couped up and sorry for myself because I don't get much time by myself, just trips to town.

Jeniqua: How scary! Glad your son is okay now.

Penny: You are BEAUTIFUL babe! So glad you had a great time, even if you didn't win really big. And you met Rita Rudner, how cool is that? Thanks for the wtg, another WI tomorrow. Hope you have fun at Disney World! I know the kids will enjoy it. I went with my mom and brother when I was 16, so I'm sure it's changed alot since.

Crystal: Glad dh is in a better mood now. Make sure you get that quality time in tonight .

Michelle: Thank you so much for all your organization for the swap. How will you be giving out addresses? email? The rules are all fine with me.

Mel: Hope you had fun with your friend and shopping. Whadya buy? Anything special? Glad you made it to the gym today. I get to check out Curves tomorrow wooohoooo! I can't wait.

Well not much going on here. Dh went to work and kids go back to school tomorrow...YEAH!!!! Andrew has a field trip to the zoo with his gifted class tomorrow then Wednesday I am walking to the library with Abby's preschool class, my excercise for the day. It's about 5 blocks each way and chasing after 13 three to five year olds....should count for something I guess. Will be going to vote tomorrow and check out Curves and maybe checking on tires for dh's truck.

Evening all,
Been busy busy busy today. I worked, and went shopping for groceries. I just got home and everything is put away. Time to relax.

How was last night for everyone? We were home by 8:30. Took the kiddies trick or treating and went to see our friends' house all decorated for halloween. They animated some ghosts and other ghouls, had fog machines in the ground and tons of creepy stuff. It looked really cool. But my kids just poop out fast. We were done trick or treating by 7 and went to my sister's MIL's house for apple bobbing, some donut game, and some pumpkin pie and hot apple cider.

Today I actually got up and exercised before I went to work. I was good for food today too. And to top it all off, I drank a ton of water.

Michelle-The rules are fine with me.

I'll get personal tomorrow. I just don't feel much like doing anything tonight. Kind of tired and not really feeling very good.

Wow I have a lot to catch up on.You girls were chatty today. My Mondays are pretty busy between the kids and work so I don't have a lot of time for the computer. I have my second session with my trainer tomorrow afternoon. I've been doing very well on my water and food so far. I guess my weigh in day will be Friday as that was the day I weighed at the gym. I know that I'll see a loss. I'm too tired to reply to everyone right now, but I did want to welcome Penny back. Glad you had a great time. Hope to get to know you better. Talk to the rest of you girls tomorrow. Goodnight.

Good evening all

Michelle..thanks soooo much for putting the swap together. You're a wonderful friend to all of us .

Chris..congrats on the exercise this morning. It's the hardest thing for me to do...get up early to exercise! I'm trying very hard to do some when I get home on the days I work. That's tough too 'cause the kids want all my attention then.

Deana..good luck on the WI tomorrow. I KNOW you'll do great! Curves sounds like fun..hope you like it. As an AVON rep I get the month of December free. Don't know how much I'll get to use it if at all...just never enough time in the day and don't want to pay a sitter to watch the kids. I think Dh may let me sneak out a couple of times. Since we're probably buying that Expedition there's absolutely no extra money for a membership.

I test drove it today and fell in LOVE with it. We're getting an excellent trade in on our Explorer. We could probably sell it outright for more money...but we don't want to hassle with selling it ourselves. Find out the finance rate and other details tomorrow. I'm soooo excited .

Jeniqua...glad things worked out with your son. So, I'm not the only one that would panic in that situation

Mel, loved the pics...your neighborhood looks very cozy and friendly. The kids are beautiful too!

Penny..glad you had a good time. Loved the pics...how did you get to meet Ms Rudner??

Hi to Crystal, Kristin, Spryng, & Jill and all else out there. Need to get my beauty sleep...must work tomorrow.

BTW...down 1.5 this week. Finally moving back in the right direction! Hoping for another good week now. Thanks to you ladies for all your inspiration! (Spryng..I'm still calling you by your nick name..but now put a "size 6" in front of it....you know I love ya!!!)

TTYL!

Hi Ladies!

I am just pooped!

I am so tired so I am gonna hit the sack but I just wanted to check in..
Have a good night

PS I never did tell Michelle THANK YOU!

For organizing the friendship swap. You are the best! Oh btw, a friend emailed me a thank you note for donating to the Night the Light for Allie .... I wanted to pass on a pic to you

OMG Penny That just brought the happiest tears to my eyes!!! I love you girl!!! That is so awesome!!

Everyone is so very welcome, but I don't feel as if anyone should thank me! We are all friends and without any of you this wouldn't be possible I love you all

Crystal Now I understand that some people have financial strains especially this time of year. Now keep in mind that you don't have to spend a dime....if you are crafty and can knit or crochet or anything that you like to do then do that! Like I said the swap is meant to be fun but I don't want anyone to feel like it is going to place a burden on them If you need some help let me know and I'll do my best or maybe we can have some of us donate a few dollars to help those who are a little low on cash. Crystal email me if you want or send me a PM. I'm here for ya

Sounds like everyone had a good day! I'm glad!! Well I'm gonna go back to sleep I just woke up for a few minutes lol Ive been asleep since 7 pm wow thats early for me!

TTYL!!
Love to all!
Michelle
