Can somebody lend me some dishwasher detergent? I need to run the darn machine and we are fresh out! Our little store opens at 8 so I'll just have to be patient. (DH suggests I use the liquid detergent. My kids did that once and it looked like a big marshmallow made of bubbles was in there. Major rinse job needed.)

Yesterday was sunny but cool but I gardened anyhow. Wish you chickies were al closer so I could give you perennials. I have lousy clay soil but everything seems to flourish. Of course, I'm at it later this year so stuff seems bigger.

Today I "lunch" with Morna the Breeder and Lin the Trainer to discuss Lucy's career! Doesn't that seem silly? However, if she does well in show, it means $$$ for the kennel and prestige. Why didn't I just get the runt of the litter? Or the dog next door who is up for adoption. Anybody want a sweet tempered husky?

This afternoon I go for a bone density test. I hear this is one test where you leave your clothes on. Am getting tired of those dumb gowns with the ties. This is just to establish a baseline for future checks. My Mother had osteo but I am on estrogen so my bones should be OK - when I don't break the damn things!

Got my Lesley Sansone set of tapes yesterday. After I walk down for dishwasher detergent, I'll pop the first one into the VCR and give it a try. Some other chick uses these tapes but I forget who. Anyhow, would love to hear how you liked them.

Have a great Hump Day.

If it isn't I am going back to bed, cause I don't have to work today! Hope you all have a great day and I will check back later! Liz

I knew I was up early, but a whole day early was crazy...

I knew it was Thursday because I've been OP for three days and lost 1.5 pounds. Last night I read some of you are on something called Protienn Power. What is that and where can I get info on it?

My DH had to be at work at 8:30 so we got up at 7:30 this morning. I have gotten so lazy this summer, I haven't been getting up until 9 or 9:30. Me who used to get to the gym by 5:30 every morning. Now I fell good to get there by 10:00. I'd love to get back in the habit of getting up early, but it's hard with DH still asleep.

I'm going to use this time to work on my AVON. I "sell" AVON and have for about 4 years, but here lately all I've done is process orders for regular customers. I've got to get my act together with that too, I've either got to get back the interest to work with it, or give it up. DH says I only do it to irrate him, and right now he is probally right But I do enjoy getting the boxes of goodies every two weeks. I just don't like having to get it all delivered. I can't imagine all the ladies that do this for a living.

Well, my labels are finished printed, got to get going.

Sorry - it is Thursday. HAve just vacuumed the car and am waiting for the tub to fill - then I'm off! DH can empty the DW.
Will check in later. Be good!

I'm one of the chickees who absolutely loves all of Leslie Sansonne's walking tapes. Matter of fact my alarm went off at 5:00 this morning so I could do the 2 mile one before getting a shower and getting dressed for work! I love them!

You said you were putting in the first one...so did you do the 1 mile tape? how did you like it? isn't she perky and cute?

you go girl!

hugs, cathy

Hi Kids,

Just another quick hello. Nothing exciting to write home about. Its sunny and beutiful today, wish I was at the beach just relaxing to the breeze and sounds of the ocean (no people there either........hey Its my dream )

1 1/2 more days until its the weekend.......uhhhhhhhh.

Have a good one, Love Leens

Nothing exciting from me today either!
I think I'm going to run to the store and rent one of those carpet cleaners, too embarrased to have someone in to do it!! No, actually I'm thinking if I rent one I can go over the same area again and again and again, and again and...you get it... Anyone every use one of those before???

One week of school left! Then what do I do?? Does anyone want to place bets on how many times I hear "MOM, Can I get in the pool NOW???" I'm wagering no one can count that high!!!

Ohhh...phone just rang..think I got a job offer for next year!! I'll know in the morning!! Wooeee!!
Good day to you all!

Stacey

Ok, so I'm back from the obgyn and I'm officially on Clomid. For all those that don't know it's a fertility drug (save the twin jokes! ). The doc says I have to increase the Metformin I'm taking now that I'm not so sick on the stuff, go for 30 days, if no period, take Provera for 10 days to start one, and 3 days later take the Clomid for 4 days. In amongst all this I have to keep taking my Metformin, Paxil, and maternity vitamin. In other words, just take the pharmacy and see what happens!!!

Hopefully in the next 3 months there will be a bambino on the way--cross your fingers and toes and whatever else for me, OK

Other than that, I have lots of shopping to put away and a house to clean. Jenny, have fun at Star Wars and don't tell post what happened because I think I'm going to take in the matinee on Saturday!

Have a good one everyone!

Oh pooky,
Good luck and happy tryig. The chemicals can be overwhelming at times.

Stacy, I hope I hope!

Cathy! I miss you chicky! i hope you are doing well. i have not made it to chat because I am trying to WO after the kidletts are in bed and that use to be chat time for me. Say hi to Cin for me too.

All is well, mom's night out was fun. They let late and we drank a lot of wine. I went back to bed after carpool this morning.

Uneventful day. Kids are at karate and I have to go stop by and see someone about doing birth announcements, so money is good, but I have to work to get it...lol.

I had my toes painted today and am off to dinner with another family and to the bookstore after that.

Have a good afternoon all and enjoy the sunshine!

Pooky, I have my fingers and toes crossed for you and my legs crossed BECAUSE of you!!!!!!!! You can have all the babies I will not be having! Good luck to you and hopefully it's not twins. PS, want me to send you some water from SC? Everyone I know is pregnant. Around here it goes in stages so I think it's in the water.

I am upset and crying and it's not fair! I have gained back all but 3 measly pounds of the weight I've been losing since last September. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! I haven't weighed in a long time so I don't know what I was starting at, but I know I haven't gained all this in 7 days. I have promised myself 1 more week of out of control eating to allay the "I-gotta-eat-something-or-I'll-smoke-right-now" feeling. Then, I guess deprivation will be my name. No smoking and back to STRICT induction. I just keep reminding myself how wonderful it will be to be smoke free and thin at the same time! It still hasn't worked, but I lost it once and I can lose it again. I can, can't I??????????

Ya'll have a great day. I'm going for a walk!

HI everyone, first chance I have had to get in here, work is madness as we get ready to move to our new building. IT is exciting and fun though!!

DS started Karate tonite...it was hysterical, he kept turning around to look at me..he is so cute. I hope he likes it and it helps his attention span.

While I was at karate DH took DD to the park, they had a ball, I cannot imagine anyone loving anyone anymore than he does that little girl!

SO are you all sitting down? THe girl from work that I told on Monday she could not ride with me JUST CALLED ME TO RIDE TOMMORROW!!! can you imagine? I did not answer the phone so I am now officially hiding in my house for fear of her coming by...although how would she get here apparently she is transportation challenged!!!!!

Hope you all had a great Thursday and an even better Friday!!!
