Hi: Everyone seems so busy. I went food shopping this morning for my SB food for the week. I have been on the diet only a week. Haven't loss anything, but still very motivated. It is now 12:43 EST and I am trying to motivate myself to vaccum. Think I better stop reading these threads and get started.

Happy feisty friday everyone!

I'm back from the gym (workout with mom day), grocery store, and library. Had sugar snap peas for a snack and sipping tea catching up. After lunch I plan to hop on the elliptical. I am feeling virtuous today Not feisty yet... but working my way there.

Chelby - Happy scale day to you.

MJ - Happy last day of vacation. My best girlfriend shopping buddies live toooo far away. I miss that.

FoodO - I laughed thinking that now we have poor Mike surrounded by our TOM talk. My year is flying by! Only 3 weeks until we leave on vacation for spring break. Yikes. I loved watching Evan's happy expression.

Debbie - I sure have aged! Arm was fine; thanks for asking. DH did a yoga video at home today on a chair. I thought of you. I think I may have to jump on that crack slaw band wagon. Let me know how you like it. I like the accountability too. And I love the image of you with snowflakes

Kara - I keep thinking in my head "wii wii wii, all the way home" from the little piggy thing. I wonder how they came up with that name.

Jenn - I am so sorry that you are depressed today. Good job staying OP. You are usually the one who motives and cheers me up! And your colors today are very feisty. Last week I was feeling the same and just hung out here until I got happier again. And blogged about all the good things I could think of that day. It helped a lot. I am sending cheery and thin thoughts your way.

Rose - Glad your day is going well.

K - I agree with you - it is sooo hard. And my memory is so bad. I hate forgetting what is going on with everyone. My secret: two computer screens. I keep the thread open on one and work my way up. I type on the other. And I refresh the first screen before I reply... since so often someone else pops in. Sounds like a great day for you.

J- Have a great visit and long weekend. I love my Tivo! And am way behind on shows.

Kate - How did the interview go?

Sharon - Well hello there Nice to meet you.

Hey Karen -- The interview went GREAT. Im glad that my mom interviews people fairly regularly so she's given me some great tips for interviewing. I gave my interviewers a good handshake, was very personable and talkative. I should know by monday!

Glad the interview went well, Kate! How nice of your mom to give you good pointers!

Sharon, welcome to the chat. Glad to hear you're doing well on Phase 1. Half way done!!!

I didn't do any decluttering today. I had planned to do it this morning but I had a lady come for tutoring and she ended up staying two hours instead of one, so I never got around to it. I could have done it this afternoon but I chose to play Wii with the kids instead, and I don't regret that at all. We had a blast and it was fun to spend that down time with them.

We had the mock cornbread with spicy "beef" casserole for dinner tonight. I ran out of cumin (horror of horrors!!!) and substituted chili powder instead. I also used Rotel tomatoes with lime and cilantro. I can't remember if I did this last time or not, but I added a thawed block of frozen, chopped spinach and a can of mushrooms. I doubled the "cornbread" and made it in a deep dish square pan I have that's probably 10 or 11 inches to a side. It fit perfectly but we have about 3/4 of it left over. Guess that'll be lunches for a week or so! (Or breakfast - I think I ate it for breakfast last time.)

Early bed for me tonight because we have a busy day tomorrow. Have a good rest of your Friday, all!

Ks, glad to hear the pants are smaller. Have fun shopping! BTW-I post like Karen does.

Kara, you probably wouldn't like our pool, but it's pretty good year round exercise when you get the hang of it.

jyoyo, on onederland! Keep rollin'!

Jenn, you "crack" me up!

Kate, hope you finish your paper and move to happier ground. Have fun at the mall!

Hi, Sharon and !

Karen, virtuous is a far cry from feisty! Glad your arm is better-I'll let you know on the crack slaw.

Organic broccoli was on sale so I just ate a whole bunch steamed w/lemon. It hit the spot! I decided to spend the next 2 days working on sewing projects-I'm going to try to take in some of my favorite shirts....otherwise I just get sucked in by endless paperwork and cleaning.

Hey, everyone! I was thinking about you all and stopped to take a break and check the thread. I hope you're all well!

Schmoodle: You're in my thoughts!

Okay, I've got to get back to work! Only 37 more minutes to get everything ready for me and my girls to take off to the country next week!

[Schmoodle]

Thanks everyone for the support. I made an appt with the program manager Tuesday, so we'll see what he has to say. No point in worrying until then.
Debbie you are so right about getting sucked in by endless cleaning and paperwork. That's exactly what happens to me every weekend. I love the thought of swimming in a warm pool in the snow!

You chicks that are headed to Orlando, do any of you plan on checking out the Wizarding World at Universal? We are dying to go there.
