Good Morning,

How is everyone today? So who is getting all decked out tonight and painting the town red? Any exciting new year plans?

Nothing for me, neighbors will be here at 6, we'll eat and they'll be home by 9 or 10. Its nice and quiet except if my neighbor gets really tickled then he laughs SOOOOOOOOOOOO loud, its very funny.

How bout you ?

HAPPY HEALTHY
NEW YEAR CHICKLETS

MAY ALL YOUR SUCCESSES COME TRUE THIS YEAR

.

We're not going out tonight! IMHO, it's amateur night and people get to drinking far too much and make @sses of themselves.

We're going to the New Years Eve church service and coming home. I made some special Batter Dipped Meatballs and mustard dip for us to snack on. If we get really wild, we may have a drinkie or two. If I know us, we'll be snoring by 10:30.

I want to say Happy New Years to all the wonderful, compassionate people I've met on this site. Thanks for the memories........

Good Morning Leenie!

I am fine, except for when I went to put in my Pinky Blinkies my message disappeared! It was such a nice post - I'm not sure I can recreate it.........

We are not getting all decked out tonight and painting the town red. DH has to work, but he will probably go in late so he can bring in the New Year with me and the kids. He has the black eyed peas on right now and the chitterlings are in the bathtub defrosting. He will eventually go to sleep and get up when it's time to go to work and bring in the new year with us. Then we'll eat our black eyed peas and pork for our new year good luck and he'll go to work and we'll go to bed after all the new year specials go off!

Your neighbor sounds like my father - when he laughs he is also soooooooooooo loud - I think that it's an attention getter, because he didn't laugh like that when I was little.

Hope that you have a healthy New Year too chicklet and may all you successes come true this year too for you

Hi Snoopysgirl, Ruthxxx, Mellietronx, Schatzi and Gamababa! Also Tippy!

We are just hanging out at home. I found a "Happy New Year" shiny, multi colored banner at Target for a dollar, and I made some snickers fudge, (I am giving it to others..I may celebrate with a piece for myself tho). My husband likes to have a shrimp ring on New Years and he bought a veggie and fruit tray also. I have an excitement about the New Year.. out with the old.. old fat, old clutter, etc. and in with the NEW possibilities. My hubby and 2 yr old son are taking a nap right now..hopefully that means happy toddler tonight!

I went and worked out this morning at the Y..hopefully any extra calories will be balanced with that. I am trying to be more conscience of what I eat too.

I started a yahoo group for my area for people who would like weight loss support in our community. I have 9 or 10 members already! I was sure to put the 3 fat chicks site in the links section!

Lets make 2006 a great year!

Later,

I have a quick question. I remember printing out a thermometer from this website, (maybe a link?) to a printable thermometer that measured my weightloss. I forget where it was.. could anyone perchance point me in the right direction?

Later,

Snoopy the thermometer is on Dotti's website

OHHHHH...thanks Leenie. I am a nerd. I was searching and searching.. oy vey.

Thanks!
