WOW! This group sure has lots of activity. Now I remember one of the reasons I slacked off on posting over at the 40-somethings......I usually post from work when I have time and I have a piece of CRAP computer here. Had too many instances where I was writing up a long post with personals and POOF!, it would be gone. It is so frustrating.

So I would like to follow along, but can't promise I can keep up with personals.

Someone asked what part of Oklahoma I am in. I live just outside of the OKC metro area. I love to travel over to Missouri and we may be visiting again this summer.

So far, so good on food today. Have my giant salad for lunch w/ FF dressing. A 100 cal. snack and banana for later. For supper we are doing my version of Turkey A La King.....smoked turkey cut up into cream of chicken soup with milk and some carrots and peas. Will serve over low fat biscuits. I'll need to watch my serving size for sure.

Got in 4 miles of exercise this morning. I use the Leslie Sansone DVDs.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

The lental burgers sound so good
will have to try them,thanks.

prayers for Samcat~~

Great day everyone.I dont do many personals but I love you all and enjoy this group a lot

akrosey49 I know what you mean about the snow we are driving in snow tunnels now its crazy. everyone without a metal roof is having to have them shoveled. Keeps up and we all will have to do it again !
will we ever see the ground again?

I'm not quite ready for bed so thought I'd pop in here. Hope you all had a good day. I had a good workout at the gym but mostly sat on my butt the rest of the day. Not because I was tired but just lazy and distracted by entering sweeps. I really do not like unproductive days. We were considering a trip to Vegas in April so I spent some time planning that but then I think we have decided neither of us really wants to go. Although we would have fun, we'd rather go some place new to us and frankly until this house is off our minds we don't like to spend money on frivolous stuff. We're doing fine but never know what is coming up, you know, so want to be good stewards of our money just in case.

Marie - You mean electrolysis? No, probably not for me!! I've had enough pain in life...I used to have a very high pain threshold but not so much any more. Makes me squirm to even think about it! And Marie, one thing I have never missed is my period! I didn't have difficult ones but it is very freeing to have them gone! Sorry to hear all your doggies are having problems! Poor things!

Karen31 - Really hope your house deal works out...after what you've been through I really think you deserve not to be disappointed again! I really like that kitchen too...sure puts mine to shame!

Ladysheets - Was it you that mentioned hot flashes and living in Alaska? My thought was that at least you could go outside and roll in the snow! When I had them so badly (the first few years after I stopped HRT) I used to go out and let the rain hit me. Trouble is sometimes after the hot flash I'd go into a bad chill which wasn't comfortable either...it was like when you have a fever but also have a chill. Now they don't last long enough to go to the trouble of going outside. i just flip on my fan. Also back then I didn't have a fan...dh finally agreed to one at night several years into it and then last year he even surprised me with a small fan for the family room!

No more time..good night to every one..I want to go to bed earlier tonight.

Hi Lovely Ladies,

It's raining this morning, so all the snow has melted. We're supposed to get some rought weather, but "they" have said that so many times I don't really believe it any more. I have to work tomorrow, so I will probably wake up to a really bad day. Went to the Dr. yesterday and the news wasn't as bad as I expected. I was really upset when he called in a script for fosomax, but he said my bones were ok, and he only did it because of the fracture. I guess that makes some sense. On a bad note, my cholesterol was a little too high and he said I needed to eat better. He is right. Even though I haven't been over doing the calories, I haven't eaten as well as I should have. I promised him that he would see better results next visit, so I have to get back to basics. Yesterday was DGD's birthday. She is 9 now and sooo grown up. Where do the years go.

Marie, Epilation? OUCH! Girl you must have a really high pain thershold! I tried it for about a instant one time.

Donna, I am thinking of you and saying prayers. So hard to say goodby.

Annie, Welcome. Come often. Don't worry about not doing personals, especially right away. We've been together a long time and I know these girls like family. You will too, but it takes time to get aquainted. Just know you are very welcome.

Lady sheets, See above post. Goes for you too.

Rosie, I'm sure it looks really beautiful there, but when you get that much snow it's a problem. Do they keep the roads open? What do you plow your drive with?

Mary, I had a quite day here yesteray. Just spent the day getting ready for the DGD's birthday. Did some shopping...

Z, Lime toenails? Ha! Your wild side. I love bright, bold colors, but only on my toes. Anything goes. My fingers are very conservatives.

Rie, From your talks about you mom she sounds like a very loving person. I'm suer she doesn't mean to hurt your feelings. Sometimes it's just a mom trying to be a part of our lives and making bad choices. Have you asked her why she's buying those things for you? Maybe she is so impressed with the progress you've made and wants to be part of that? I swore I wouldn't make the same mistakes my mom made and I haven't. I made different ones. Hope the weather stays ok so you can see your DGS.

Gayle, Hope work is going well for you.

Karen, Nice house. But if it doesn't go through, you like the house you have too. I would wait to pack too. I guess I'm a very superstitious person and I would think it would jinx me.

Isabella, working hard? The kitchen should be almost done and will be worth all that hard work.

Bobbi, You are a good mama. Doing all that work for DD. I know she appreciates it.

Gotta go do work, yuck. I'm much rather stay on here and talk to you,

Freda

Hi Everyone,

Just found a new cousin with my genealogy. There is an Ancestry convention in Philly on Saturday - I plan to go.

Tomorrow is the Art Museum with my DF for a lecture on Rodin. Sunday a different friend and I are going to a local movie theater to watch a broadcast from a London Theatre. They are showing A Comedy of Errors.

My DD & SIL are leaving for a 17 day trip to Alaska on Thursday.

Nothing special planned for today.

Happy Wednesday,

Lynn

Good morning GG's,

Two days down ~ two to go. Got out late again last night. A little better though ~ only 1 hour this time. It seems to kind of go in cycles ~ runs of getting out late and runs of getting out on time. I am ready for it to switch and be getting out on time.

I feel cheated when I lose part of my GG and FB time.

I had sort of a NSV yesterday. I needed to break a bill and needed to buy some small thing to do it. Yippee ~ I didn't buy candy or junk. Found a cute plastic cup.

Ok, guess I'd better quit fooling around and finish getting ready for work. I'd rather stay and play

Gotta stop at the post office ~ make sure I have enough stamps on Anniversary card for mom and dad ~ their 60th wedding anniversary tomorrow.

Hope you all have a good day.

Take care

A good find -

I just tried a Glucerna Hunger Smart Snack Bar - Chocolate Chip Crisp - VERY good. It is especially for folks with diabetes. 20 g carbs, 3 g fiber, 10 g protein. 140 cal for the bar.

Gayle - Our Missy was a Peek-a-Poo. She used to bury her treats too! We would sit and watch her trying to bury it under a throw rug, the edge of the couch, etc. For the most part, we always had 2 dogs at a time. One would pass, and we'd get another one. For some reason, our dogs wouldn't usually leave the yard, unless they saw someone across the street or next door. They would go out and do their business then want right back in. Now we only have 1 dog. He is around 11 years old and will be our last. It will be so much harder to lose him because there won't be any animals here to cheer us up. But we made that decision because we can't be away from home for more than 5 - 6 hours because of the dog's needs. Also, 2 of our dogs we got because their owner passed away and no one wanted the dog. I don't want that to happen to a dog of mine, now that we're getting older. It will be hard, but maybe I will volunteer at the local shelter.
