Hello ladies
I took the kids (Michael and his cousin) to the zoo today, it's their last free weekday before they have to go back to school on Monday. The weather was great, nice and cool and a bit overcast so we didn't get sunburnt at all. Then they were begging me (ok, not that hard) to take them to a place called Teddy's Bigger Burger which has delicious burgers and fries.... so I had one too. So that's my transgression for the day. I counted up my burger and fries as 17 points? So I have 4 points for dinner. Thank God for 0 pt. Progresso soup!
I did get a walk in this morning plus the walking around the zoo so this day is not a total bust.
Karen, bravo for you for stepping on the scales again. You will get those 9 off plus the 31 this year
I keep forgetting to ask you, how do you get the weather ticker on your signature line? That is neat. I know I read about it somewhere on another thread, but it escapes me now. As I'm looking at your siggie now, it says CO is 33 degrees.... BRRRRR!!!!! That's cold for me!
cw, welcome back!!
It's so nice to see you around. Congratulations on your new grandbaby too. He must be a sweetheart. I love the name Aiden. That's OK if it is one of the most popular names--at least your son/daughter had the sense to spell it correctly. One of my biggest peeves is when parents take a perfectly normal name and twist it's spelling all around to get fancy. You know what I mean? Hey, don't feel down about your weight gain, the important thing is you are down those 8 lbs and we will cheer you own the rest of the way. You always have kind words for us, let us do the same for you.
Angie, yes I did get the pics on my work email. You took some fabulous shots and my goodness, your kids are so big now! I
know they are teenagers for gosh sakes, but I remember when they were still... well, kids
I hope you and Jay can get out there again for a relaxing vacation alone. I love taking Michael along on our vacations, but sometimes Rick and I just need to sneak away by ourselves.
I know I've already told some of you but we are planning on traveling to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. We will be going to the Garden District for more family friendly viewing of the festivities, so I hope I don't have to worry about us exposing Michael to some X-rated sites
. We are meeting Rick's cousin and her husband and daughter. I am looking forward to this trip, it's been 9 years since I last visited New Orleans. I'm hoping Kempy comes around to give me some tips on what sites to see. Kempy?
Cal, if you're around, I hope you enjoyed your New Year's Eve birthday. Is school starting up again on Monday for you?
I've got to get a move on if I'm going to get dinner started. Have a great evening everyone.
