Hi all!
By hook or by crook, I AM going to catch up tonight. It may take me hours, because to do it properly I have to go back about 3 threads!
As I dropped in to say before, yesterday I went scouting for and booked a hotel for Spring Fling II. The accommodations are very nice, convenient to the airport, include a nice breakfast and are reasonably priced. Rooms are available that you can have your own room, or to help cut down on costs, you can room with someone else and still have your own bed. I'll be getting out more info in the mail soon. If I don't have your address and you'd like to be included in the mailings, please PM me your contact information.
I haven't worked much lately. I'll have to get moving if I want to pay my van payment this month. Just a couple of lunch jobs this week, but the restaurant jobs don't pay, they just reimburse, so I need to get crackin' and makin' some money. *sigh*
The snow is old news around here. We got about a foot. They were saying on the news that this is 3rd most snow of any January on record, something like 27" we've gotten this month.
Terri: I'm so sorry to hear about your BIL. That's awful that he is going through all this and there doesn't seem to be a good outcome in sight. My thoughts and prayers are with you and hubby. This is an awful time for you.
Angela: That's a wonderful accomplishment for that guy, but you're right, the headline is a bit out of whack! * Congrats on your 100% OP day!!! Good job.
Marcie: THREE OP days! WooHoo for you! Great job! * Good choices at Ruby Tuesday's. I was there for lunch with Honey yesterday and I saw that menu you mentioned. Really nice. Following WW I look to see if the nutrition facts have the fiber content because that's important in measuring for WW. Alot of times the fiber count is not included. Everyone being so hyped on low carb and as far as I know, low carbers don't count the fiber. I was glad to see this one had it all.
Ruby: The first thing I did was PM the new chickies to tell them what I did and direct them over here.
Serious: I'm glad you found a scale that would work for you. I invested in a Weight Watcher scale from Bed Bath and Beyond about 8 months ago. Also glad you're not having to pay shipping. That's always a plus. "I would like to wait until I get my scale before starting, but I don't think I can wait that long." How about taking your measurements. That's always a good starting point and might work until your scale gets here.
Gwhiz: Welcome aboard. Great to see you here.
Iwillbe: "This forum does seem to be a good place to visit. I have packed my bag and plan to move in here.... I have found more useful information on this website than on any other." What a nice compliment. I'm going to pass this along to the sisters. I'm sure they'll appreciate your kind words.
* Sorry the SBD didn't work well for you. I'm glad you were able to easily slip back into your calorie counting plan.
SpecialK: Welcome to you as well. I'm glad you've decided to post here.
Teflon: Again, Welcome. We have a bunch of new folks in the last few days and it's great to be growing again.
Shanberg and KandiceA: Thanks for stopping in and helping out.
Barbg: Sorry your plan fell apart late last night, but I'm sure today turned out so much better. What is it about a get-together having to be about food? Funny, I suppose, but one of the first things I was looking for when shopping for a hotel was what kind of breakfast can we get. Then also in planning the agenda it's been where are we going to eat. What kind of snacks and stuff will I bring to the hotel, etc.
Just can't get past it, I suppose. Every occasion seems to be surrounded by food of one sort or another.
2cute: Sounds like another funk coming on. Better shake it quick before it takes over. They are such a waste of good time.
Judy: Gosh, I'm sorry to hear you're not headed here for the Fling. It's only for a weekend. Any chance you can stop here first and then head on to NC?
SkinnyMemories: Glad to see you back. 6 pounds is a wonderful restart. Good for you!
BlueHairFawn: Glad to see you back as well. I bet Chicago is a HUGE difference than Oklahoma was. It sounds like you're doing great. I see your stats are down 34 pounds. That's GREAT!!
SueMarie: Thanks for the info on websites with answers to some of the questions that have been posed. * You're doing great. Glad you've joined us. * Congrats on the nice score bowling. Honey and I used to bowl when we were younger AND in better shape. Every other Saturday night. Gosh, I miss those days.
BarbPA: Hope you're doing well. How are the injections going? Still have those cute bulls-eyes?
Hilta: That was really nice of your neighbors to plow you out. But ya know, what goes around, comes around and it sounds like your hubby paid it forward for years, now it's your turn to let someone else do it for you.
Leanne: You did a great job at Sizzler. I wonder if they're the same Sizzlers that we have here in the US. Actually, we don't have them up here in Michigan, but we did down North Carolina way when we lived down there. * I'm sorry you're plagued with such hot weather. I actually prefer winter to hot hot summers. The way I look at it I can always put MORE clothes on, but once you're naked, you're naked!!!
Steph: Glad to see you checking in. I hope that's going to become a habit. * Are you dug out yet.
Michelle: You must be knee deep in catching up now that vacation is over. That happens.
Hope you'll be back here real soon.
Amandamomof3: I don't think I said how sorry I was about you losing your baby. I can't imagine what that would be like. I know you're little angel is smiling down on you and with you all the time. [[[hugs]]]
Qadira: I'm glad you got your scale. You must be having quite a good time with it, I don't think you've posted since.
JazzGurl/Elisha: Glad you checked in with us, Welcome. Hope you'll be back real soon.
Ocean Girl: That is a horrible way to be treated by a co-worker, or anyone else for that matter. Unfortuneately, some people just have no class. I hope that you are able to move past the insident quickly and get back on track.
Mary: Don't beat yourself up over 12 minutes of exercise. That's a whole lot better than doing nothing! Come on, the negative talk isn't going to do you any good either. Do 13 minutes and then 14 and before you know it, you'll be up to where you want to be.
Tina and Sandy: In case you're reading, I hope things are going better for you. Check in and let us know how you're doing.
Jenhari: You haven't been around in a bit. Do I have to hunt you down again?
Memoe/MaryB: Where are you?
Ok, everyone, I have gone wwwwaaaayyyy back to get to replies. I do hope I've caught up with everyone. If, by some chance, I missed you, it was NOT on purpose. I hope you all have a good night. I'm going to turn in....early for me.... I've worked on this for 2 hours. I can't keep my eyes open any longer. Love
ya bunches.
300+ And Ready To Try Again...#639
I would hate to move it if they intentionally meant to start their own. Maybe they felt theirs would just blend in and they wanted it to stand out. Does that make sense ?? Maybe write them and ask if they want it moved. I know if I am going to have a HUGE WHINEY post... I would probably start a seperate one to not bring down the main thread. 
I did feel pretty good today and hope for a good tomorrow. 
that you have stuck around and joined our group. 
I would love to read about your journey for AI and see your photos. I think a LOT of good singers don't make it. Last year Simon even apologized for not letting one guy in that he should have. I would love to know if he auditioned again this year. I know they invited him back. 
I am sorely tempted to throw them out the door! One way or the other I plan to lose that other lb. for the 2x2 challenge. When I first saw that challenge, I said piece of cake, anybody can lose 2 lbs in two weeks!
