Good Morning Ladies,

Yeah I'm up and at it early, cause I'm home today

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had to go to a surprise b/day party last night. We didn't get home until 9 pm. DD didn't go to bed until midnight, it really threw her off wack but she had a good time. It sucked b/c there were two tables of deserts and I didn't have so much as a crumb of it I know this sounds weird but I was so angry inside b/c I couldn't have any, hope it didn't show on my face. Oh well. DH stuffed his face all weekend too and that got on my nerves. Here I'm trying to be so good and I'm not losing b/c I'm going over in my calories and I get to watch him eat entire bags of chocolate chip cookies in one sitting and he's 145 lbs. SIGH~~ GROWL ~~ SIGH~~

Okay i'm done lol.

Oh dear! That man needs a good slap. Shall we call in Tippy? Good for you resisting the desserts, Leenie. Enjoy today at home with lovely Gracie.

I didn't have your will power this weekend. I definitely enjoyed the cheesecake and am glad I didn't order the large size. We had one piece left over after the Pypers had seconds and H. scoffed that for lunch yesterday. However, there was some fudge.....note verb tense....and I have tummy ache today. Today will be pure low carb and lots of water. I actually threw out the rest of the fudge!

Hersh and I go for her treadmill this morning after Gail arrives. This afternoon I need to mix up my natural food supply for the doggage who are loving the raw foods! Lucy is even eating hers like a normal dog! No more sniffing and wanting to be hand fed! Can you say spoiled?

There are still a few tidying tasks to do so I'd better split for now. Happy Monday!

You threw fudge in the garbage ? WAAAAAAAH!

Just the chocolate. I ate the vanilla. It seemed fresher and creamier.

Morning, I am feeling more rested today and taking the time to clean uo some space on my hard drive. That means copying pictures to CD's to get some more room. I am conteplaiting going to the laundry mat to get my laundry done. I have sheets that my gail took off the beds before I left and lots of stinky close from the trip....

oh well i am sure I will figure it out.
have a good one.

Hello everyone...........

Ruth, not to worry, 'cause you were not alone this weekend - I ate about a whole bag of pretzels and maybe a pound of pistachio nuts AND some lo mein this weekend!!! Chocolate in the garbage??????????? oh my!!!

Leenie, as far as skinny dh is concerned: New York rasberries to him!

Linda - welcome home.... I'm glad you had a wonderful, relaxing vacation - wanna do some of MY laundry too?

what a GORGEOUS day!!! Ok Ok Ok - it's bitterly cold and windy out (but sunny!) - HOWEVER, I am one very very happy puppy today: isn't it amazing how much of a lift a little bit of recognition and appreciation can give? Here's my story: I've been at my current job for almost a year and a half; about a week or so ago I went into my boss and told him that I wasn't going to ask for a raise, but I DID want certain things: ie some paid vacation and holidays, and also for him to pick up the rest of my health insurance. Today he called me into his office to tell me what the deal was. Well, I got the vacation and holidays, but not the health insurance. HOWEVER, for days that I am not working in the office as a highly paid file clerk (1 or 2x per week - just to make up hours) I also got a 25% raise!!!! He told me that this is not a "social promotion" due to length of time, but rather because I am doing a "kick@$$ job" for the company!!! now tell me, how great do I feel!!! In fact, I just called dh at work to tell him that I am taking him out to dinner 'cause I have something to celebrate!!! Ok, I guess now I'll go get moving - have a great night all.........

Hi gang. I've had a busy day starting with my morning pool workout. Rushed home to tidy up and then went to pick up the quilt that my women's club has made for raffle. I took it to a lady who has a huge quilting machine and she did a beautiful job. Now I just have to bind the edges. It was a lovely day for a drive in the country. Nice to see the trees getting that lacy green look and the median of the freeway has naturalized daffodils in full bloom. Lots of pink blooming trees all over the place. Just a delightful drive.
When I got home I decided the car really needed to be washed so I did that and then crashed while watching Y&R. Just finished paying a stack of bills so now it's play time for a while.
I went out for lunch today and broke my diet too, darn it. I had fish & chips and cole slaw. I had a few bites of the very nicely batter fried fish and the picked off all the batter. I didn't eat all the fries either. I was feeling overstuffed after just a few but I still think I had too much. Oh well, I guess once in a long while won't kill us. I hope.

It doesn't hurt to give this a try I guess. I just started atkins again today. I did great if I do say so myself. I found this yogurt by Dannon that only has 3 carbs. It is really good for breakfast since I can no longer stomach eggs and bacon. Hope everyone had a great monday. As for me I am back in school and loving it as usual Have a great week!!!!

morning,
Sunny day bit cold. I am almost caught up on the laundry...maybe 2 more loads to go. not mich planed for today. looking for play dayed for the kids but not much luck. I am still wiped out from out trip so maybe another day at home. I have to go to the market and town hall.

-L

What a nice way to get wiped out, L144S.
I was wiped out yesterday and managed a 3 hour nap in the afternoon. Good thing because I'd be really kwabby right now as we are in the middle of a major snowstorm!
I may just go back this afternoon. Wake me when it's over, OK?

Oh, Ruth, that's the pits about your snow. When is it going to stop?
I won't even mention what a lovely spring day we're having.
I'm having a lazy day at home. My friend, Lil, will be stopping by shortly. She just had some tissue samples taken from her breast to be tested for cancer so she's in need of some TLC. I think waiting for the results has to be the most difficult.
Welcome Skyttles.

Sending healthy vibes your way Linda - I hope the tests results are good.

So sorry about your snow, Ruth - enough already! Sending sunshiney, warm thoughts your way.

L - Hope you are able to rest up and feel better today.

Welcome back, Skyttles.

Just home from Bry's first official game of the season. They lost by one in the very last 2 seconds of the game after being up by 3 - drat! But they were hitting well and made some good plays so that is ok. I'm tired by I''ve got to go do some laundry - I'm trying to keep up on it this week (yeah, right) since we are leaving for SF on friday afternoon and won't be home until Sunday a 3.

Chat at ya tomorrow

Still doing great. It just seems to come so easy this time. I had my low carb yogurt for breakfast. I had chicken nuggets at lunch. I made an appointment with glamour shots to get my senior portraits taken. I can't wait. I get a really big paycheck in a few days and will go shopping for my out fits then. I can't wait to get on the scale on friday and see how much I have lost. I have to admit I cheated and weighed this morning and it just motivated me more to see that I am already down a pound. I swam 16 laps or 500 yards today. I had meetloaf and broccoli for dinner. I am off to bed now. Have a great week

Rested and feeling good. I have to get the kids away from the TV today. That and the gameboy. I am up bright and early. It is sunny and thinking about getting warm, we should be close to 50 today.
We are meeting friends to go bowling today and I have a few errands to run this morning. Just getting out of the house for the day will be good.

I am going to hit the shower and get dressed, have a great day ladies Spring MUST be coming....
-L

L - keeping my fingers crossed that you're right and spring IS coming! I know that the view out the window is sunshiney, the ballgame is playing on the 'puter, but is sure is #$%%^&$#cold! I guess I ought to be glad that it isn't gray and snowing! So, I'll quit my bellayaching............

time to get ready for work and out for the day........ hmmmm, double cupofcoffee and a mushroom/cheese/omelet sounds kind good - now to go see if I can get dh to make it!!! Have a great day ladies!
