Morning, Okie!!! I myself have never gotten into Biggest Loser, but I imagine if I gave it a shot I probably would. Hope you're doing well this morning.
Anywho, 3 more hours of work for me and then a day off. Yay!!!
I've got a hair appointment this afternoon and I'll probably do some grocery shopping beforehand as well. Other than that all I'll be doing is packing for my trip to SC and watching Glee. Yay, Glee!!!
First, I have some personals from yesterday's thread:
Beloved - Cute picture!!! I hope your pictures weren't ruined. I spilled a glass of tea on our family Bible one day (it's been around probably 70 years at least) and was terrified I had ruined it, but luckily it was just fine. Hope the same is true for you!!!
Here's to losing that extra pound that you found.
Ruth - Wow, it sounds like you are always GO GO GO. I hope you get some time for yourself at the end of the day.
Heidi - I guess you could call me a workaholic...but I'm not so sure it's ALWAYS by choice, LOL Luckily I love my job so it's not TOO bad...but sometimes it'd be nice to have a little more time off. Oh well. You've got me craving brownies now, LOL
Cottage - Thanks!!!
So glad to hear you're feeling better!!!
Cyndi - You're another one always GO GO GO. We are some busy ladies around here!!! Thanks for the laugh today...I giggled at the monthly exercise thread.
Twynn - Oooh, please DO share the soup recipe...what kind is it??? I love a good bowl of soup...especially since it's so easy to freeze some for later if you make a large pot.
Lexxiss - I don't blame ya...I'd be at the pool all day everyday if I had my choice!!!
Oh lord, working so much before vacation is definitely tons of fun. LOL When I went to Boston a few years back my vacation leave got denied due to staffing shortage (a couple quit and then we lost a dispatcher in a motorcycle accident, so tragic) and I had to swap some days out w/ a co-worker. As a result I ended up working 7 days straight, flew out to Boston and stayed 4 days, flew home, and then worked another 7 days straight. YUCK!!!
WaistingTime - Yep, I'm going for fun!!!
My bestfriend lives there and it's the last football game for her daughter this season. I wanted to make it down to see one of her games, so we set it up about a month ago. I'm so excited!!! And good for you for not giving in to the Halloween candy or the neighborhood buffet!!! I'm glad I had to work...my nextdoor neighbor always has the good stuff...snickers, twix, reeses, kit kats, etc. UGH!!!
Chubby - Good for you for going and getting a second opinion!!! I wouldn't go back to the other place again, that's for sure!!! I stopped going to Meineke after one of their mechanics got ticked off when I wouldn't agree to an engine cleaning at 15K miles (ON A TOYOTA!!!!!!!!!!!).
Lamay - Good for you for not giving in to the cheesecake!!! I posted a recipe in the forums here for a sugar-free low-carb cheesecake. It's really yummy if you wanna try it. At least then you wouldn't feel so guilty.
You are definitely not the only one w/ that problem, hon. Sweets are a HUGE weakness for me. When I get to the point where I just HAVE to indulge now, though, I go to Sonic and get a 99 cent Sundae. It's tiny but just enough to satisfy my craving. And I have to say that given the choice between candy, chips, crackers, and cheesecake I think I'd be in the same boat as you. I mean, cheesecake is like God's greatest gift to mankind or something.
Alright...done w/ personals. It's been a busy night at work, but thankfully, only b/c of one call. We had a HazMat situation happen and we're still out on it (6 1/2 hours later). I was super nervous when we got the call b/c in 10 years I've never had a HazMat call...but everything went smooth and everybody is going home safe, so yay!!! Here's the article (although it's not a detailed one, really, so there's not much to see):
