Good Morning:sunny:

I've had a hard time keeping a connection this AM. Someone told me tomorrows Full Moon is the biggest of the year. Haven't googled yet, but it got me thinking about sleep issues this week.....and my computer.

Thanks for starting us up, Okie. I love your title. It reminded me of my quest to LW this time around. With all of the Fun we have here, staying OP has made me feel Fancy Free. I feel so much better than I did a year ago, even if I still have a long way to go. You just sound so good these days! I'm glad to hear you're thinking of fun things for your weekend , and are pondering your long term goals. Great to hear you have a job fair this weekend, too. Have a great day!

Cottage, enjoy your day off, and all the indoor projects you can come up with. One of these days we'll be packing up the winter projects and heading outdoors!

Heidi, I hope you find your Wii. :brr: I'm hoping it will really be Spring by the time we finish our new challenge. Thanks for all your work in getting it set up. BTW-I'm continuing my new habit :cp: it seems the theory worked for me.

Ruth, busy busy! I'm listening for your loons every day! Have a great Friday!

Cyndi :cheer: for Friday! Have fun tonight. How was the Indian Chili?

Mmc, some people just never learn "social graces". Find a grain of compassion for her because everyone else must have silently said "OMG", even though I'm sure it wasn't a weight reference. I've never mentioned it, but my Dad was raised in the Bronx. His parents came through Ellis Island from Finland.

Karen, have fun with Mom. I enjoy your pic-we could have been Sisters. Some day I'll dig mine out for a chuckle. I haven't checked your blog yet, I've had a hard time keeping my connection this AM.

Chelby, I've been thinking of you lots. :hug: Maybe I'm selfish, but I've missed you lots! You were such an important part of this group that encouraged me and cheered me on when I first got here, fat, tired and depressed. :hug:

Cat, have fun today!

Twynn, I appreciate your sharing the exercise reevaluation. It's so important to find out why...and it makes sense. I took a food break this week and have been thoughtfully reevaluating. Hope your day flies by! Weekend sounds great!

:wave: Tammie! What I thoughtful suggestion for Okie. See you later!

Pearlrose, Wow, DH going to PB SB! That's a feat! I'll bet laundry is on your list this weekend, but hopefully more fun with the new dryer. Have a great day!

Me, going to Grand Junction (Chelby and AJ know). A dear friend in strategically planning an exit from a hopeless marriage, and has a job interview. I'm just along for the ride. This AM I had the grand idea that if I drove, I could take my :bike2:. :cp: I'm really excited! Fun and Fancy Free it's ME! I have quite a bit of waiting time while she interviews.

Have a great day everyone! I'll see ya'll later!

Cat, :rofl: I really should rephrase that!

Hi all! Just have a minute to post so I will do personals later. We had a wonderful time at Tom's promotion ceremony! We got pictures and I'll post one later. Connor tacked on the stripes and punched SO hard! The whole place burst into laughter. It was really funny! We went out to lunch afterward and I stayed totally on plan. I expect the scale to drop a good five pounds tomorrow morning just because I was so good. Think it'll work???

Be back later!

You chicks always make me smile. :grouphug: Thank you!

Chelby - You and your mom need to meet up for a spa vacation to work out together! Hope your blood sugar is okay.

Cat - Sounds like a fun day. All I can think about are beignets. So not SB friendly:( What a great note you got.

Twynn - Have a great weekend away:)

Pearl - Sounds like you are busy! Have a great weekend.

Debbie - That sleep issues thing is funny. I am working on a blog post about it. More babies are born during full moons too. I look forward to seeing your pic - funny thing... my original avatar was a picture of yellow flowers that we took near home. But then I realized you had a yellow flower and wanted to be different! Great minds think and look alike?

Kara - Glad your hubby and you all had a nice time. Congrats on his promotion.

Later gators!

Good afternoon, everyone. I think I'm going to drown in all this work. TGIF, for sure. I hope you're all well!

:) No worries, Cyndi. I'm sore but it's healing. I've got a theory that it's going to feel a LOT better tomorrow when I don't have to drive to work or do all the things I do in a kindergarten classroom all day. ;) lol

Heidi, last year I tripped and really jammed my elbow. I actually sprained it, which is very hard to do (you have to hit the elbow in a very exact way to sprain it rather than break it). It was SO painful. The ortho told me to ice it for 24 hours and then use heat so it wouldn't stiffen up, and to be sure to exercise it. Maybe things are the same for wrists too. I also used a cream from the health food store called Topricin, which works specifically on ligaments that may have been bruised or damaged, and it really helped. I'm usually a bit skeptical about homeopathic remedies, but this one really worked.

Thanks for the tip! :)
I've been icing it when I first get home from school (it swells during the day) and using heat off and on the rest of the evening because it feels soooo good. I'll stop off and see if can find some Topricin this afternoon.

Yup, that's why I'm trapped indoors with 17 wild 5 year olds. :lol:

Oh, drat! I'm out of time already!
I'll finish catching up with everyone when I get home. :hug:

morning...er noon all. GOt my . today which just makes everything worse. Not having a good day. Will be back when I am not Mrs. Killjoy...

Happy Friday to you all...

I have the munchies. Must stay out of the kitchen!

So I wrote every one and it did not post so I will check in this afternoon to retype.

I got another job doing web site maintenance for a real estate company. Thank GOD! I was pretty down yesterday. I haven't really eaten very much for 2 days so today is important that I get every thing in ever 3 hours!

Be back after I do the paper work!
AJ

Congrats on the new job AJ! That is fantastic news!!!

Kara - What a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing those.

Great photos Kara, thanks for sharing them! :)
(You looked terrific, btw)

I'm still wii-less.
They sold the one they had before Fergie phoned at 10:15. (They opened at 10 am) I may break down and order online one of these days. But for now, Fergie's still enjoying "the hunt". ;)

Kara, what a beautiful family you have! And you do not look like you could lose a pound. Congratulations!!!!
