Good Morning Chicks!
I hope you all had a good night. As predicted, I ended up watching Survivor for a 2nd time when DH got home - and bawled again! I am looking forward to catching up this weekend on the other shows I recorded.

Friday weigh in for me ...... I Lost..........3.2 pounds this week!!! This included 3.5 days on South Beach and the other days just being concious of what I was eating. I only say 3.5 days due to the large amount of fruit in my house right now. I plan on doing South Beach with added fruit the next few days.

Gotta dig into work.....Catch ya later!

CONGRATS barb. that is wonderful. keep up the good work.

Gee... not many here this morning.
I am a little bit better this morning... but not much.
Haven't done anything but lay around and feel sorry for myself.
I have to go to the store today.. I have ran out of kleenex. LOL

My family decided we would celebrate my birthday Saturday so I have a chance to feel better first. I did not want to see anyone for last couple of days.
Again let me say thank you for all of the birthday wishes. I was hoping that a few of the MIAs would show up to wish me a happy birthday too... but alas.. they did not.

I need to run. I promise when I get feeling better I will write a longggggg post.

glad to hear you are feeling a little better, at least. had us worried there for a while.

I've been checking in on everyone on a regular basis.

2 Cute: I'm so sorry that I missed your birthday. I know you're feeling lousy, and I've felt what you're feeling as far as your weight is concerned. Like, WHAT'S THE USE? You've been such an encouragement to me and to everyone on this board. You're always cheering us on-now it's our turn! Take care of yourself, and enjoy your belated celebration w/your family.

Pam, Joeanne & Sandy: It's so good to see you again.

Syn: I'm glad you hooked up with your old friend. Could LOVE be in the air?

Andria: I hope your new job situation works out great!

I know I've missed a bunch of you, but I've been reading all your posts, and I wish you all the best.

Jen: You are doing FANTASTIC! I know you're disappointed at not reaching that magic number, but you've been making tremendous progress. We're all proud of you!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Belated for 2cute and early for Mary...

It' Snowing!!!

I know most of you think I'm carzy! What's the big deal??? But here in Dallas SNOW is a big deal! It very seldome snows in Dallas,m and even less doe it snow like it's snowing today. We usually get much more ICE and when it snows it's just a little over the ice, and everything shuts down. Well todays snow is just beautiful wet fluffy flakes that are sticking to everything around, except the streets! We had no trouble getting in to work, and it's simply beautiful out there!

Happy Birthday Mary!!!

And last but not least

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Birthday Mary!!!


Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone!!!


Hubby gave me the most precious gift last night. I collect Precious Moments and he always manages to buy me ones that mean so much! He found on the internet the one he wanted and proceeded to hunt all over for it in person. It's titled "Something Precious from Above". It's a girl with a baby in a baby carriage. He bought it in honor of our hope of having a child this year through the miracle of medicine. I absolutely bawled! He said "it was suppose to make you happy" - as you ladies know, we cry when we are happy! It meant so much to me - it was his way of saying - "we are in this together and I am ready and excited"!! He doesn't express his feelings through words a lot, and this was his way of letting me know! He's the greatest!!!

We have a good/very overwhelming visit with the Docs yesterday. If all goes as planned I will start my fertility meds and go into the April treatment cycle.

Hubby and I are going to the hockey game today. I am not sure what that means for me today food wise. We are in a club box, so I am hoping that I may have some healthier options than the usual burgers and fries!!!

I'm sure I'll pop in tonight when we get home! I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!


Barb

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUuuuuu !!!!!



Mary... I know you are out of town this weekend... but I want to come home and find all these birthday wishes waiting for you.

And to everyone else....

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !!!!

Hey Girls!
Where is everyone today? I hope you are all off doing something fun! We just got back from the hockey game! We had such a good time and the game was great. I am not normally a big hockey fan, but watching in person is great! There were plenty of scoring and fights to keep things lively!

I did eat poorly, but there is nothing I can do about it now, but remember how I felt about putting that crap in my body and move on!

We are having a major hunt in the house for DH's wallet. He swears he had it last night in the bedroom and now it's nowhere to be found....off I go to hunt!

Catch ya later!

Barb

We had a great day doing nothing today. The snow was almost gone by the time we got off work, but it was pretty this morning. After work we went and did a few errands and DH stopped at a tent set up in a parking lot and bought me a vase of beautiful pink roses. We came home and I made taco soup cause I got the new soup bowls I bought on ebay today. Also we left work and went to the computer store, he bought some business software to figure out how to keep up with the manufacturing process we will be doing, and I bought some anti-spam software, and a new jigsaw puzzle game for the computer. It is really fun.

Talking about ebay,, which one of you said you sell things on E-bay? I was going to PM you and ask you what your seller name was and what you sell, but I can't find the post where it was talked about. I think it was the one where someone wanted to list her kid!

Well have a great night. I've got to try a new puzzle!
