Good Morning Chickies!! Hope everyone had a nice, safe New Year's celebration. DH & I went to Lonestar Steakhouse for dinner at around 6:30. We were home by 8...just in time for the Giants game to start...romantic, huh? I struggled, but stayed up til midnight, toasted with some champagne and went to bed!

Today we're going to my Aunt's house, even though I really don't want to, I have soo much to do around here! Tomorrow we'll probably take down the Christmas tree and stuff, and plan our menu for the week.

HERE'S TO AN AWESOME, THINNER 2006!

Hello Everyone!

It's been a lazy day around here. We did take down the tree and put all the stuff away. My living room looks so bare now! I also went through Alex's clothes and packed away the stuff that's too little. Thank goodness for those XXL ziplock bags. Now if Cletus turns out to be a girl, everything is ready to drop off at the donation bins. Just drop off bag and all. I also packed away all of the crib bedding. I'm so torn. I want a GIRL, but I have all this BOY stuff! It would be so much cheaper to have a boy!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve!

Happy New Years all!

I lounged around all day. The most activity that I did all day was doing up the few dishes for my mom. Now that everything is done and over with, I plan on really being tough on myself. My sechedule for next semester does not seem as daunting as the last one, so hopefully I will do better.

Molly, was Motley Crue in Toledo? I did not hear about them coming to town, and even though it is not my style of music I think I would have. (I listen to country)

Lauren, I too struggled to stay awake til midnight, however it was not becasue I was tired, it was from boredom. I watched TVLand's 100 most surprising moments on tv and then turned it over for the ball drop. I was going to go out to my old stomping grounds, they were going to drop a copy of the schools mascot down at midnight, however it was only going to be dropped two stories, and I didn't have anyone to go with.

Good Morning!!!
Well...we stayed at home also but it was fun...We went to N.O. yesterday to the zoo and the French Quarter..Had a nice time..It was great to see it crowded and the street performers out..K had to dance with all of them..But once U pass the 17th Street Canal where the levee broke, it was the same as a month ago..What a sad contrast--Cleanup will take over a year and then with hurricane season again next year, who knows...

Ok--serious on the diet again..My resolution is to diet and excercise and finish my scapbooks..I ordered the pics(digital camera) and have started arranging to put in the pages..I have to loose 20lbs before summer...I just cant get motivated...
Have a great one all!!!
Back to work tomorrow...I like these 4 day work weeks!!!

Hi Everybody!

Happy New Year 2006!! Hard to believe it's 2006 already! WOW! We stayed home and had a big bonfire.. WE had a blast time. We had a chicken/sausage gumbo along with few desserts. I got managed limited my eating on desserts. I drank one beer but drank lots of water after that. I went to bed after midnight. Here's the photo of fire. OH my.. the fire spreaded to the nearby tree and got on fire. I thought.. oh my.. I needed to call firemans..... LOL.. Glad it went out itself in few mintues later. Whew! That pile was filled with pine trees which it was knocked down by Hurricane Rita.

Hi Ladies!

Tricia, Wow, that's some fire!! Glad it went out and didn't spread!

Going to be a busy day at work today...haven't been here since before Christmas!

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope y'all had a wonderful day off yesterday. We went shopping for a couple specific Christmas things and found NOTHING. Ugh. We have three stockings with a big "K" embroidered on them (for our last name) that I got last year at the sales. I was looking for one for the baby. I was also looking for a tree topper and a tree skirt. Easy sounding stuff, but I guess we waited too late.

I weighed this morning and so far I am holding steady. Whoohoo. I'm taking that as a positive.

I am new here and just wanted to jump in and say hello!

I am actually 40 something, but only by a year or two, and there isnt a 40something club! Hope you dont mind me in here!

Anyway, I am one of those that has to struggle now and never did before. Just recently diagnosed with thyroid issues and having problems with weight but its much better since I got a higher level of meds to help. At least my metabolism is somewhat better. I have visited this site off and on for at least a year and thought well heck might as well join in on the fun!!

As I said I wanted to jump in and say hello.

Hi JJ Bug! Shh, don't tell but some of us are close, or already there too!

Welcome June Bug!! You'll like it here. And we don't mind if you're a 40-something!

Lisa, No the Cure wasn't here. They were at the Palace. I listen to country too. A little bit of everything really lol. They were really good!!

OK I'm outie for now. I haven't WI in a while. I keep forgetting. I will today but I already ate so I am taking a pound off for that lol. Have a great day everyone!!

Hey evevryone .. I hope that the New Year has started out well for everyone ... As of today I have started back at it ... Jumped right back on that wagon !!!

JustJuneBug ... Welcome aboard !!!

thanks for all the welcomes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually did well over the holidays. I was off work since Dec 22nd and basically did exercise every day, and stayed away from sweets and starches.

Back at work today, 1st day, but leave tomorrow for skiing in Steamboat. Did find a gym there that only costs $10 a day and hope to go at least twice!

And as long as I can keep the beers to a minimum I will be thankful.
