Starting a new thread as it is now 5:15 am and I am all ready for work. Yesterdays thread was quit e interesting with so much information.
I will be looking for pork rinds. As LindaBC tells me they are called Pork Puffs I was ready to start frying pork backs

There is also a chick with a great mo loss of 5.5 great going Barb.g keep up the great loss. I guess because of a few things that we should't have hay, Mis, like I had a cup of choc icecream, and three egg rolls, won't help me loose any weight.
Debbie it would be wonderful to see you and sister on TV. A makeover would be so much fun.
Ruth did DH get a new jacket..,,,
Tilly reading your post the last thing I need is to clean out anything, haha.
Thinking of you Robin, as I was doing my hair this morning, "Rod," my hair looked more like Phillis Diller
Ladies one more quick note, Anyone that is stuck for cooking low carb, I went to the library, The Carbohydrate Addict's Cookbook, is wonderful. Mis, I thought of you when I was reading this, lots of recipies for breakfast, fast and easy, not that you are fast and easy, well easy, you might be fast haha.
For those of you with less kids this weekend [L] enjoy, to the newbies, welcome, have a great day,
to the sickies,[pooky]please take care, get well now, not soon.

There is a blessing
in my life that God
keeps reprating...you,
you, you, you, you,.....

PS,
Those of you that are on the FlyLadies site, yesterday she had 545 e-mailes to me. Everyone that was ever sent to me, came again. Not happy.

Good Morning EveryChick!

We shopped for a PC yesterday but it ran a bit late so DH did not get his jacket. The PC is just what I need and will be ready and loaded on Monday. I take my old one in and they copy everything over - sure hope it works. I will do backup before I pull the plug. Of course it started to snow so I had another Friday afternoon drive in miserable weather.

Today is a happy day - HERSHEY COMES HOME! I have a 9 a.m. Warden's meeting (my last!) and hope it's over early because Morna and John are bringing her back after 10:30. She and Lucy will have to re-establish who is alpha dog so will need close supervison. Little do they know that I am really the A dog around here - I may have to lie down on her to remind Hershey of that. I'll take her to Church tomorrow and she'll be perfect after that. Lucy and I start the Show Handling course on Sunday afternoon, weather permitting as I refuse to drive in crud!

By the way, DH paid for the PC yesterday. I'd planned to use puppy money but he told me he's pay for it "because you deserve it" Maybe all my extra work around here is being noticed. I even split kindling for the stove the other day and that used to be a man's job.

A few peeps coming from downstairs so I'm off to start coffee, bacon and pet Lucy. She is never anxious to go out until she's had her morning pet and hug!

Happy Saturday.

Morning Chicks!!!

Slept til 8am wow that never happens. Stayed at work late last night, watched that new show Mr. Sterling. It was pretty good and Josh Brolin is sure not hard on the eyes.....

Not much planned today. GOnna clean my sunroom and make DH take DS to karate. Got on the scale this am and I am showing a 3.4 lb loss but that is for 2 weeks .....not all that pleased...have a great day.

I have been up since 3, I should have come start the weekend here! I tried to go back to sleep, then just gave up. Now I feel like crap, am in a bad mood and can't get it together. I know the whole day will be shot... maybe I'll try for a nap later and start over!

the week got so busy and my mind is still racing. Sometimes I can't make the transition to "weekend" easily, I'm still keyed up from the work dramas and stress. So my only goal for today is to relax, do only what feels good, and try to change my mood. Thinking of a hot shower, and maybe a trip to go look for a new kitten. DH and I still are feeling a little lost without our cat, who died in May. We have conversations in her "voice" and really miss that little presence in our bed, and on the couch between us in the evenings. I think I can even stand litter box duty again! I'm not sure, but we're talking about it.

I'll come back later in a better mood. If I can get a nap in, I'll exercise later, too. That got lost in the morning crankiness.

later chicks,
dottie

dottie... get the kittie. there's one out there that really needs you. i'm saying this as my little rescued one is chomping on some ribbon, hinting that i should play with her.

taz. don't you ever actually sleep????

now ladies. i am injured. and it hurts like HE>>>>>>> i slammed my left index finger in the car door last night and nearly took off the tip!!!!! and the wrap on the nail flew off too!!! i thought about going to the ER to see if i needed stitches, but i didn't want the insurance hassles [like, we're not covering this because you didn't make an appt with your PCP and it's not a real emergency because no one ever dies from slamming a finger in a door!] . what have we done, that we don't go get the care that we need because of the insurance????

am taking mom and her friend to get manicures. and i have nothing much planned for today. maybe i'll go visit peachie.

ruth.. dare i say it??? your dogs might be a tad spoiled!?

oh one more thing. the dog and i went on a little hike this morning on snow-covered ice. she had fun. i slipped a bit, but we did well. i haven't been able to hike for several years, so this was a real treat. of course, did i REALLY need to do it on ice????

stay warm, dry, and well, ladies. and i'll try to post later.

GOOD Saturday morning chickies! Today looks to be a gorgeous sunny day here on LI (of course, I haven't stuck my nose out the door to check how cold it is!) .. what shall I do with this day? hmmmmmm - I need to run errands that did NOT get done yesterday because I was being a good friend (spent the entire 10 hour day - instead of the 2 or 3 planned hours - at The Ministries helping with the move of the agency to new quarters).. I also need to finish cleaning out my closet and dresser drawers, and de-clutter my office before tax season begins - both of which were put on hold when I hurt my back last week. Hmmmm, what to do, what to do? What's that? Did I hear someone say I should just curl up with a good book? Crochet the baby blanket for my niece's baby who will be arriving at any day or moment?.... nahhh.... I think I'll visit here for a while, and THEN start the rest of the day!

Dottie, I'm sorry your weekend has started off on such a sour note, hopefully the gorgeous sunshine will help pick you up a bit. Not to mention that the kitty will help lots!

Jiff, OUCH OUCH OUCH! I've done that to my finger and wished that it had fallen off, cause it probably would have hurt less! I hope it's better real soon. Mazel tov on the hike! But please, next time, do it AFTER the ice melts!

Ruth, so glad Hershey is coming home - you must be thrilled. Spoiled? Lucy?... nahhhhhhh....how could that be?

Scooby, I had planned to watch that show last night, but didn't get home til after 10 pm...... so, should I watch it next week? HEY! 3.4 lbs gone in 2 weeks is better than 3.4 lbs added in 2 weeks! SMILE, girl, it's a good thing!

Taz, HOW many emails? ouch! Also, thanks for posting that little blessing, I loved it!

Well, everyone have a great day...... will check back later after I decide what to do today!

Morning!

The little guy has a big cough! Wrestling for the big kid this afternoon. I had to keep him out of Wrestling Media Night yesterday because of EXTREMEMLY bad behavior. The head wrestling coach is my walking buddies dh and he was shocked when I told him that the kid wouldn't be there. oh well, he has to learn that he won't get "stuff" for acting badly. So another day and we try again but somehow I feel like I won't make the cover of parenting monthly!

Paper work to catch up on and some organizing to do today.

Taz, I'd fire fly lady! Hope to get another note off to you this weekend.

Ruth! So glad to hear that Hershey is coming home!!!! And a new pc!!!!! happy dancing feet here for you!

Scooby! sweetie! don't fret!!!! You lost!!!!! losing is good!!!!!! REally!!!!!!

Jiff, OUCH! good thing it wasn't your middle finger eh? (pays to hang out with the canadian chicks! Looking forward to your visit, call first!

Cranky Dottie! you know what? I think that you are entitled to being cranky!!!! I would take a book to bed, announce that I am going to read and lie down and pull the covers over my head for a couple (few? several?) hours and THEN go out and get that little furry kitten who needs you!!!!!! Stopping only to pick up something delish and leagal for dinner!

Sams g..... I vote for the blanket and a book!

See why I don't get anything done around here?

off to work off my lazy tendencies by doing a bit of organizing of my kids calendars....and good junk like that!!!!!

later,
peach
ps, Jenny, been thinking of you and sending you good vibes!

where is 3fc Jennifer?

Who gave permission to go back to bed for a few hours? I need it! My sister called at 6 today, I was still up at 1:30 trying verrrrrrrry hard to get to sleep. I could have shot the phone! Anyway, been awake since, but my brain has not joined the party yet. Caffeine is my friend!

Have to babysit my little nephew today. He can't walk yet, which doesn't stop him from getting into EVERY LITTLE THING!! Oh, well, it counts as exercise. Buying Miss Tommie her bed today, too, she's going to love it. It's all frilly and girly and nothing like the one I had when I was a kid. Helps that it's all decked out with Barbie bedding. Gags me every time I see it!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful day, take some time for yourselves! Talk to you soon!

Sherrie! I'll trade you the godzilla stuff for the barbie stuff......um, maybe not!

I must be the only one who actually SLEEPS IN on a Saturday morning around here!!

Had a bad night of sleep..so caught up this morning on the couch--it all adds up to a good night sleep ....I think.
I gotta go to a dreaded baby shower today ...I know its not nice--but it is my brother-in-laws girlfriend and let me tell you...I have had my share of run-ins with her. She is only like 21 or 22 and acts about 15--and yes she is about to have a baby. So I guess I have to buck up and act right today--the kids are excited-soooooooo--it doesn't help that I am having a VERY HEAVY TOM and just really do not feel like moving!!

Taz--it's funny you mentioned that cookbook--I do have it from the library--was flipping through and my problem with it is it does not give the carb info--how many per serving...does yours??

Ruthxx-- have a happy happy day!!

scooby-- A loss deserves to be celebrated...no matter how small!

To everyone else--have a great day!! And quit getting up so early

mis

Just checking in to let you know that the pecking order has been re-established after about 10 minutes of negotiation. It's Ruth, Hershey, Lucy and Harry. Harry will be able to move up once he starts being consistent in his commands!

The girls are delighted to see each other and are outdoors playing - Hersh in her red coat as she has blown her fur again. Nursing 7 puppies is hard on your fur!

So life is back to alleged "normal" around here.

flying my kitchen this day!!!

I took out eons of trash to the dump went to the doc to get my contaqcts, and did a recycle run. not much today!!! I do see my kitchen counter!

for being Op I am. (except for last night)

You girls all sound so busy and having fun (or not in some cases)

I just want to check in and see how every one is doing and say I am still here and alive!!

Sick. That's all I can say. Nausea, weak, poopoos--not good. Just saying hi. talk to you later--believe it or not OP.

OH Pooky--I hope you feel better soon!! can't belive this nasty virus is running rampent thru our board like this---someone please stop it!!

Ruthxx--Glad that things are gonna get back to normal at your place--enjoy the dogs!!

I went to the dreaded Baby shower--just let me tell you an example of litttle miss girlfriend--she has been saying all along that the baby is gonna be a girl--2 ultrasounds she has had mind you--so today she gets all this girls stuff and someone mentions that this had better be a girl--with all the pink she was getting and GF says--"Well, I think it is gonna be a girl--the Dr. says it was a 50/50 chance"---UH HELLO?? You have been telling us for months you are having a girl--then you say there is a 50/50 chance?

After meeting her mom--she was a very cold person--I can cut GF a little more slack.
Anyway GOODNEWS_-as I got onto the van my MIL says--my Misty-you sure are looking slim!!--how about that!! One week into the plan and ragging at that!! That makes me want to keep on going!!

Well girls--gott ago--my house looks like a flickers nest--whatever that is!!

mis

Ooooh, bruised fingers, poopy fluey people, lack of sleep people...what a henhouse! I'm almost scared to come in. I hope all sick, *****y and injured people are feeling better soon. I guess I'm lucky that I generally sleep very well. Conk out when my head hits the pillow and, other than waking up to go pee occasionally, I usually have a good 6 hours a night. Then I often snooze another hour or two in my recliner chair after DH leaves for work.
Ruth, glad your puppy is home. I know how you missed having her there. I bet it's entertaining watching the two of them play and rebond. I'm so happy for you with the new computer coming. Whoopeee. That will be so fun.
I finally got my vacuuming done this morning. I'd been putting it off for over a week but couldn't delay any longer. Also started some dusting cleaned one of the bathrooms. Three loads of laundry are now finished. Changed the bed only to find that the "bargain" Queen sized sheets I bought last week are really strangely sized. The fitted bottom sheet is too small (made even smaller because of the fluffy feather mattress pad we now have) and the top sheet is several feet too wide. So, my next plan is to cut some off the sides of the top sheet and add a piece into the part of the bottom sheet that should fit over my mattress. Shouldn't be too difficult.
I had my computer/bookkeeping guru here yesterday helping me get my accounting program into the new year and installing a program update. I still have some year end work to do but now at least I can write invoices and cheques with 2003 dates. I don't know why I let this get me in a flap every year but I always do.
Still strictly OP and the ketostix are showing a slightly darker shade of mauve...but still not in the moderate or high range yet. It must be the Synthroid.
Well, that's it for me. I have to go do some grocery shopping now which I hate doing on the weekend. Working from home I can do it any day so why did I leave it until today? DUH!!
