lol me 2. well i'm planning on taking my daughter out for chinese for her bday. not sure what i can have but i do know they have all you can eat crab legs on there buffet so i might stick with them

Me see if they have a mongolian BBQ you can put all the stuff you want in and keep all the stuff you don't want out.

KO- we are definitely on the same page today! I was thinking the exact same thing!!!

Don't have time to read but I want to keep up with my goal of posting every day. I just got the baby to sleep and I am leaving ALL 4 kids with DH to run out for diapers! I haven't been out by myself in ummm, 9mths or so.

Besides that, DH asked me how much I have lost because he said he can see a difference already. (9lbs since Tues btw)

:carrot::carrot:

Fl Mom Yay!
Rdw I'm craving it we used to have one here but its gone!

Where I used to live in NC they had one called Crazy fire, it was sooo yummy... since moving back I haven't been able to find one but I just learned there are two here!!! about 30 minutes to get to either one but I am going to have to check it out soon! Should be super easy to stay on plan there! We have been going to hibachi restaurants a while now and like them but to be vegetarian their meals are pricey considering I am not buying any meat- 13 bucks for a plate of veggies?! So glad I found genghis grill! Hoping one comes your way soon ;)

Hi all... can you believe I'm taking a break to log in tonight?11!!!!!

Ann apologized for her behavior yesterday! But we still have to iron some things out. She has stated several times that whoever is in this position should not start feeling confidant or comfortable until at least six months in, I'm not even into my third month yet. However, we did talk a little, and I told her she needed to back off a bit and trust me to do what I need to get done, and if she needs to ask if I accomplished something to please send an email as it is interrupting my work.

And to all those that said to go to HR? That would be ... ME! Yup, I'm a full charge bookkeeper slash human resource director, and Ann is the controller (fitting title don't ya think?) She's been with the company for 8 years, one would think the owners would get a clue that she's the reason people leave this position... but she IS good at her job, and I know I have and can learn a lot from her... I just need to figure out how to calm her down a bit and stop giving me the brunt of her frustration!

Now, on to personals!

tee hee... too funny, controller seems to fit her as well... Hopefully your chat with her will be taken to heart and she will back off! Glad there is a light at the end of the tunnel lol even if your boss feels its 3 months away?! Maybe just maybe not everyone learns at the same pace?!?!?! lol

Cottage - Great Idea to keep the girls interested in the cards, a few at a time will help them to not feel rushed and do a better job!

Ruth - Hope you enjoyed your day of rest!

Contrats Twynn on the acceptance of the house! Hope it holds up with little to no fixings!




Cyndi, a friend of mine swears by naturo... or whatever they are called! Good luck with it!

Hi Chelby, nice to meet you. I only have to set eyes on a donut and my waist expands! :O

Awe Sophie! Grandkids are the best, and families are meant to stick together! Hope you can see your grand babies more than you are expecting to!

Heather! Funny story about the keys. I once had friends over that live an hour and a half away. AT the time they didn't have cell phones. Well, when they got home they realized he (the father/husband) had pocketed my work/car/house keys! Luckily I had a spare car key, my son had house key and my boss had keys to my office (different company than now). I didn't get those keys back for a few days! Randy doesn't leave here till I know I have my keys!

Hi Gonnabe!

Kim, congrats on the weightloss! and it sounds like a plan to keep the diet with the exercise regime! Nice job!

Schmoodle! Your local library will be glad to take them! some of us who live in the 80s still live by VHS, not DVD! ;)

RDW! Your right, Chili is sounding awefully good right now! and it's colder here than TN! Welcome to winter! :)

Barb, Hope you got to go out to eat with "Don?" ;)

KO, enjoy your laptop! HOpe you got everything accomplished you set out to do!

Me4life: HOpe you enjoyed your crablegs! Happy Birthday to DD!

Nice to meet you FL_mom!

Me: Well, I signed up for a different plan with Frontier (phone service) and they are sending me a FREE laptop! OK, so it will cost me 45 for shipping and I have to keep the service for two years! Thats ok, I do that anyway! ;)

Let's see, I need to start training Cody, with all my pains and goings on, I've neglected the poor boy! And with the COLD weather and the pain they both are going stir crazy!

OK, off to play some pinochle.. I live such an exciting life! ;)

Hey all- just wanted to stop in for a quick hello :)

Lori - So glad to hear there's been a little movement and you are letting her know she needs to back off. Any plans for your weekend?

Rikki that soup looks great. Can't wait to try it! Don't you love the notbeef cubes?

Schmoodle - We've given away lots of VHS tapes on freecycle. We just offer them up in boxes "take all" and it seems to work.

Kim - I think you're doing great girl! Remember you're building muscle so that might slow the scale but will pay off in the long run.

Heather - I can soooo sympathize. I've cut my finger several times. Of course I still don't always use the guard.... Hope it's feeling better now.

Sophie - Can you get a web cam? I have a couple of friends who keep in touch with grandchildren that way between visits and it's a fun way to watch them.

Since several people asked - So far the naturopath has recommended as much ginger, papaya, and pineapple as I want along with fish oil caps, acidophiles and some other combo I have to pick-up next week. She's also doing food sensitivity testing along with checking my Vit. D level and my entire thyroid function. I know that too much wheat causes me problems but not sure what else. I'm interested in learning more because not only do I have autoimmune arthritis but my blood pressure is on the high side even after losing weight. the newer research points to inflammation as the culprit for a lot of things including heart problems, blood pressure and cancer so I'm definitely interested in seeing if I can manage it with diet. It was an interesting experience to say the least, not at all like seeing a western doctor. I already use a massage therapist to handle my crunched neck disks so I'm used to an alternative approach but this was different.

Hope everyone is staying warm!

Cyndi- Be sure to keep us updated! Sounds like your doctor has lots of knowledge for you! and yes, I love the not beef and not chicken boullion cubes... I also like the knorr veggie ones too! so much cheaper to use those than to use the canned broths, and IMO they taste better!
