Oh my goodness! I guess I should have waken up earlier. There are so many posts!
Linda: I hope you have a great day and that the girls aren't hoping for haircuts that are too shocking!

I wish the stores we shopped at this weekend had free gift-wrapping. That's the only thing I have left to do.
Kara: So nice to see you back here! I noticed your thread the other day, but haven't been able to post in it due to the connection problems. It sounds like you're all busy and doing well!
Hi, Ruth! Hope you made it out the door on time!
Cyndi: I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm not sure what osteopenia is, but I'll be looking that up after I get done here.

I hope you have a wonderful day! Stay warm! You really shouldn't worry too much about Christmas shopping; just send me some wine and be done with it!
SillyFluff: Yikes! Sounds like a rough two days! At least you'll be capping it all off with a nail appointment. Enjoy that! That is one thing that I miss about living in the city; getting my nails done. Maybe one day we'll get a nail salon out here.
Schmoodle: I feel your pain! My head hasn't been in the right place, either. I'd tell you where it's been, but I don't think it's appropriate for this site.

I think it's great you're going on a getaway for Thanksgiving. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time! And just because you're not at mom's table eating turkey, doesn't mean you can't be thankful!
Debbie: I'm in West Texas, directly north of Big Bend National Park and about halfway between El Paso and San Antonio. We're a dry, desert climate and tend to get snow two or three times a year. I hope you're having a great day!
Chelby:

I know how you feel! It just seems to be that time of the year for a lot of us. I hope you know that you could never bring us down...we're here to lift you up!
Meelsie: Sounds like a rough schedule, but you're right, it'll be good for the money! I hope you have a good day!
Me: Nothing going here. I was supposed to be out in the field inspecting today, but our paperwork wasn't very well organized, so we're in the office getting it all sorted out. (I entrusted one of my appraisers with the task of organizing as a re-training exercise, and it didn't work too well. I guess it's a good teaching moment!)
I've been doing decently on my workouts, but my eating has been pretty horrendous. I've got to get that back on track. I'm going to leave work a little early today so that I can get a long outside workout done before sunset. If I get that taken care of, I should be able to get a decent meal plan into the computer for the rest of Nov. and beginning of Dec.
Well, it's so wonderful to see everyone back! We've got to encourage each other to stay active; it really helps me to stay on track!
