Nope Michele... I don't decorated for Valentine's Day. I decorated for Autumn/Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter - that's enough for me I do enjoy all the Valentine's decorations, cards & colors, but never decorated. Being it's my birthday month I usually get pink flowers from Joe to enjoy for the month. And my mother & father always send me heart gifts. When I was a kid my mom always made me the most beautiful heart cakes! I miss those! Joe is taking the day off on my birthday this year - don't know what we'll be doing yet, something fun! I hope we have a sunny day, but I usually get a storm Speaking of Joe... he's home, time to go

Thanks for the PM's
{{{Hugs}}}

A big warm *Welcome* to you nuttymom!

I agree with MKay... sounds like you have your hands full!! You gotta come back soon and tell us a bit about yourself. When is your birthday?

Me ~ I'm SunnyD (also known as Donna) married to Joe this coming June 21st as long as you have been alive *30 years* and we have 3 furry kids (3 male cats that think they are people). I think you will enjoy this thread allot - I found it almost two years ago (this coming Aug.) and haven't left yet Great people here!

Hey there MKay, I got everything taken down and thought I got it all and my hubby comes home and tells me that the front door is still decorated Woops Guess I'll take that down tomorrow... no biggie, I haven't put anything away yet.

That's okay... you are allowed to pms just as long as it passes and doesn't stick I DO hope that your tummy feels better tomorrow

Good grief Gary, What are you gonna do now about DN? It sounds like he has a problems calming down - have you reduced his *sugar* intake? Sometimes kids do react to it in the way you are describing... or maybe too much caffeine (pop)? I do hope that you will be able to figure out what is happening and help him. Maybe it's for attention...no? How old is he now, Gary? Is he having problems of being accepted in school by his piers and you maybe don't know? Sometimes these kids act up to hide that sort of thing... just a thought. I wish I could help more, but in the meantime... you have my *prayers* as to what to do next.

I think it's great that your DD & DNiece enjoyed your cooking! Not a surprise though it's wonderful that you make dinners for the family. Joe & I sure enjoyed that recipe you gave us the other day!! I finally made it last night (had to go buy some of the ingred. I didn't have) and boy-o-boy was it ever good!!! And so simple to make... love simple. A KEEPER!! Joe said he couldn't remember ever having hominy and he really enjoyed the meal & he asked me to thank you also as he made 'yummy sounds' the whole meal and even went back for seconds I had all the breast meat left from the chicken I made up, so it was perfect! I served it with some fresh baked round bread with that crunchy crust. Thank-you again for the recipe! What type of casserole did you make last night? I always could use a fresh idea

Give Angie my best, would you

Yes MKay, I was up very early this morning I have been doing that the last couple days... maybe it's because I don't want to miss one moment of SUNSHINE I don't really know why I'm awake, but I just thought that while I was up I'd stop in.

I saw that makeover show last night too! What a difference in her!! Allot of it is her diet too, MKay... that's what Michael Thurmond was saying. But they do workout allot more then I would ever do!!! 30 - 35 min a day is more then enough for me What a change in her body though, huh. I only wish!

Are you doing anything special this weekend?

Michele, I think Joe & I are meeting our friends as usual on Saturday morning and then we'll head out to a Target --- I need to get some new storage bins to store all our Christmas decorations in, the box we have had for years is giving way As far as exercise --- don't know yet what I will be doing... my exercise over the weekends is just to keep up with JOE

Sounds like you made a very wise decision to eat before you went to the party... I do that too. Especially for wedding receptions... being that most don't serve till after 7 or 7:30 (sometimes allot later). I just make my dinner at the regular time and then just have some protein at the reception and lots of dancing and water. Wishing you *loss* tonight at your weigh-in

Wilma, Painting? YUK! I hate to paint, but love the results, sounds like your place is coming along nicely... I am very happy for you. I cannot wait to see some pictures of your renovated kitchen!

I saw that in Prevention too --- looks like a great program.
