Howdy, everybody!
I feel like it's been forever since I was here last. Pretty close, I guess. Looks like it might have been Friday or Saturday!
Honey got home safely from Germany. He had a wonderful time. The guy that he travelled with was a good guy, I guess. They liked doing the same kind of tours and museums and stuff so together they had fun sight-seeing. Alot happened while he was in Germany. His boss took another position in the company and now Honey is acting in his stead. He was given the interim position, indefinitely. Not sure what that means, but Honey's pretty happy about it. He's been a Customer Service Manager for the last three years when his REAL background and training is in Materials Management. There are alot of things that he thinks/says he can make changes to if given half the chance. I hope this is good for his career. He's played the "game" for enough years for something good to happen for him.
I finally got back with the "program" today. My eating was much better. I had a breakfast job this morning and then had dinner this evening. I'm within my WW points, just didn't get the veggies or water completely in. Tomorrow is another day. I need a good trip to the fruit market.
I'm going to try to get some responses done, we'll see if I get through them all. Forgive me if I miss someone, please.
2cute: Congrats on the new car. Can't wait to see it! I think they're adorable, except like I told you, the dashboard. All the other features are wonderful!
Leanne: Computer problems are absolutely the worst! Mine has been giving me fits lately too. #1 Son says about the only thing left to do with it is a total reload and that's a real pain in the butt so I'm just babying it for now. I've got my fingers crossed
that it will hold up for awhile longer.
Judy: Ya know, it's funny but I hadn't thought about those muffin pizzas in a loooonnnnggggg time until Melissa brought up pizza. I'll have to get some supplies to make them up myself. My mom used to make them ahead of time and freeze them so that she could have all the prep work done and just pop them in the oven when she needed them. That would be a great idea for lunches.
Terri: Glad you had a nice visit with your mom. *The new "boys" are beautiful! Hey, as I was looking through the picture thread I saw the pic of Star. Whatever happened to her? Does your mom have her? * Good for you telling the IL's to take a flying leap. Can't believe, (well, yes, I can believe because I've heard similar stories sooooo often) that now you guys are to blame. [[[hugs]]]
Michelle: The story of Andrew and the shopping cart was precious. I can't believe he's going to be going to school. Oh my, woman! You're getting old!!!
Barbg: I love the graphics! Are these your own, or haven't you had time to do your own creating yet?
Lillion: Good for you giving into your craving for the brats. If you wouldn't have indulged in the half, you would have eaten everything in the house and then still not been satisfied and wound up with the brat in the end anyway. That just seems to be the way it works. This way, you had, you only had 1/2 and then you were satisfied.
Shopaholic: Caffeine withdrawals are awful! When I gave my Pepsi up some years ago I had headaches for two weeks. But it has been worth it.
BarbPA: Thanks for the wonderful discriptions of your cruise. I am living vicariously through you. Honey and I went on a cruise in 1985. I had won a 3 day from the company I was working with at the time. It was wonderful. Short, but wonderful! The pictures you posted are gorgeous!
Catherine: CONGRATS on the milestone! I'm so excited for you!
You have an amazing story and I'm so glad you have come here to share it with us. I hope that you are able to get something from us, as we are getting loads of inspiration from you. [[[hugs]]]
Iwillbe: My easy way to see what others said while I'm trying to reply is to open a new window. You can do that by holding down the CTRL key and the N at the same time. Then in the one window hit the Post a Reply button so your window comes up for you to write in and then you can go back to what everyone wrote by just clicking on the other Chicks button at the bottom of the page. Try it, it makes life a whole lot easier!
Scooter: "it was in a state of nobody could remember if it was hardwood or carpeted " You described my office!
Hope nobody coming for Fling expects a tour of my house!
Angela: Ok, so Spring Break is over, how did your first back on program day go???
Jill: I don't know if you've tried like the Green Giant Create a Meals or the Voila's but my family and I love them. However, we find that they don't provide a very large portion so I found frozen stir fry veggies at Costco. Now when I make the "meals" I add several handfuls of the veggies to the skillet. It not only makes for bigger portion sizes with few added points/calories, it also adds those much needed veggies. They also taste pretty decent because the "meal" will be complete with a sauce of some sort and that covers the veggies as well. YUM!
Tracy: The first thing to do to stay on program is to get your butt in here!
You know, from experience, that staying away only makes it worse.
I'm glad your friend is getting the help he so desperately needs.
Hilta: Wondered what happened to you. Sounds like you've got your hands full.
Loki: Sorry, can't help you with the bike issue. We all have our bikes hanging from the ceiling in the garage. None have been used in years.
Melissa: The Laughing Cow is great. I'm not a big cheese eater but Honey and the boys are and they love it.
Julee: See, fajitas can be done without them being a big mistake.
We did Mexican last night as well. Fajitas just like you said...no cheese, no sour cream, no tortillas. *Thank you so much for your kind words. It is a Sisterhood. We share stuff that only people of or around our size can imagine....because we have lived it.
Well, I think I've caught up with everyone. If I missed someone, I'm terribly sorry. I have a couple of "bank jobs" to pull tomorrow so it will be a busy day once again. Love
ya bunches!
ONE MONTH TIL SPRING FLING II. Can't wait!!!!
