Dorfus Dippinchunks checkin in here this morning

So far it has been a long week but a good one. I am at the bottom of my prior fluctuation but I am still not gonna count those #'s onthe ticker until I am sure it's not just my scale foolin me.

This morning dh is at work moving stuf around. His office bought another one and are incorporating the folks in this morning. He'll now share a corner office with an intern. I could use some moving furniture kind of exercise today. We'll see what I can do around here cleaning wise.

This week has been crazy with the boys. Beren is potty training ( ) and Logan is teething. I am pryaing that we see some teeth this weekend cause the poor baby is miserable and so is Mommy. I am hoping we can have an outing this afternoon of some sort to clear both of our heads. A little time out with no rain would be divine.

I hope you are all having a great weekend. i know I'll be checking back in later. Hugs to all!!!

It's certainly a cold day for Thanksgiving weekend! Brrrr! 41F! The woodstove will be on a bit later.

Margo, Elaine and Bailey the dog, are just back from walking to the Mill and are nearly frozen. You sure get attention when you walk through the Village with three Portuguese Water Dogs! People think they are seeing triple!

Gotta dash and serve some hot drinks to my guests - the people, not the Doggage.

I'll try to get bacjk in thsia fternoon to read your eparls of wit and wisdom!

Mornin Everyone,
I've been for my walk and I'm enjoying a lazy housekeeping morning and an extra cup of coffee (shh) DH is mowing the lawn and DS is taking a college entrance exam. The sun is shining and my headache is gone Today once house upkeep is done DH and I may do a little shopping together. No big plans just a quiet weekend at home for us.

Lil Chick- Find some time for a nap somewhere in your busy weekend

Beach Bum- Congrats No scale change for me but that's not unusual it will take me a while to lose these last pounds. I'm happy that the sugar cravings are gone and my energy is back

Schatzi- Sorry it's still raining and I hope you can go enjoy a good movie or snuggle and enjoy a good read

Hollyhock- My new name would be "Sloopy Dippin Face" I think it fits

KO- I wanna go see U2 We were at Borders last night and replaced one of our Rolling Stones Lps (ya know those antique round vinyl things) with the CD. We came home cranked up the speakers and when DS came home from the football game he was shaking his head on the way to his room.

Well it took me a while to post this am so sorry if I missed ya. Everybody have a great day on the beach!

Down 2 pounds today!!!! WOOOHOOO...just making a quick fly by...feeling witchy...lol....have a great weekend!!

Aw Sweet Tea~ I miss those days so much. My 2 are 22 months apart so when DS was potty training DD was teething. Happy sigh. If wasn't so old I'd be on baby # 5 by now. I loved being home wiht my babes and all the "fun" stuff that goes with it.Enjoy every squack and puddle on the floor. HUGS!! Now they are 5&7.Seems sooo old.

KO~ that lamb sounds devine!!!

Ruthie~ A big HUG to warm you up. It is 6C here, 42F. I still want to get out in the garden but i would have to get dressed.

Picked up some of the burgundy and rust Mums.

Sweet Tea, we must be related! I'm Sloopy Dippinchunks!

Had a slight relapse on the tummy-woes...got stupid and thought I could handle a well-trimmed lambchop. Wrong. Back to the tea and white bread. GAG ME!

KO, what writers workshop are you going to? I actually got sick at our annual Georgia Romance Writers conference here in Atlanta this past weekend. I missed the whole last day. Whaahh. But I did get into some awesome workshops on Saturday. There were two in particular that were really good. Deb Dixon blended Goal, Motivation and Conflict with The Hero's Journey. And another one "Every Gun is not a Glock. What you need to know before you put a gun in your book". Anyone ever held a Walther PPK??? I have!

Today I'm just hanging out with dh. He's been confined to quarters lo these past few weeks, painting our bedroom, so he deserves some time off for good behavior. Not sure what we'll do. Maybe just take a drive. Next weekend is the Highland Games. Looking forward to that.

Beach Bum, Congrats on your 3 pound loss! WTG!!

Ruth, sounds like you're really enjoying your company!


Okay, gotta get my heinie moving here. Hope everyone has a fantastic day on the Beach!

Hey Chicks! It's been a lazy Sat. morning. I've rearranged my weekend plans and will head to the lab in about an hour or so. It's gray and dingy out so I'm still in my flannel Pj's with my fluffy slippers on!! I'm gonna have one more cup of tea and then get my butt in gear. Have a great day, everyone!!

Greetings from "Fluffy Chickindunkin". How accurate is that???

Well, Chicks.....I have been bad, bad, bad the past 2 days(Today doesnt count, ) Thursday nite was Pizza Hut. After I got done, it dawned on me it tasted like cardboard. But, we have a friend staying with us and she bought, so who was I to say no?? Next time I will find something to eat other than that! Ick! Last nite was our fav chinese buffet. Nothing was as good as it was last time. Probably cause I have been doing a P1.5 deal for a couple of weeks. I loved-past tense there, wanton soup. And it was greasy to me last nite. But, it was Mama's treat, so who was I to say no? Next time I will make OP choices, like creating a HUGE salad and stuff.
This morning they went to Sams and bought the place out. So I have plenty of chicken breasts and frozen veggies now, !
Our friend is making ribs for supper, and it will be OP since she discovered a few months ago she cannot have sugar, and knows I am on SBD.
But other than those 2 snaffoose, I did pretty good this week
OH!!! I made the bean muffins and browies Thur, and brought them to work yest......One of the ladies I work with just plain doesn't eat alot if sugar, LOVED them. Told me I needed to get my laptop out, hooked it up, and get her the recipes. Couldnt believe they were made outta beans, cpl other ppl who eat sugar, said the brownies were ok, but really liked the muffins, go figure huh?

Today, going to get my hair cut after work. I will post a pic when I get home. Can't wait.....
Tomm....packing some. I am so beyond ready to get home.......


Little Chick-Drive safe and have a good time!

YAHOOOOOO BB!!!! Now if I could just get my ticker movin......
