Wednesday hello
 

Wow, mid-week already. We've had a ton of snow and mr. snowplow man did the 0330 pass again.:tired: Then my dh decided at 0500 to clear the driveway with our snowblower. I'm sure my neighbors love us......

Happy Birthday Hershey! Bow wow wow to you!:woo: Ruthie, by him a cake and let him eat it!

Pearshape, I'm sorry but your baby rat story did me in!!! :fr: I don't do rodents.

Barb, brownies would be a minefield....nice way to describe it by the way......but it's nice to know someone who has done soooo perfectly can stray from the towel and still dust off the sand.

stephanie, sounds like you've got lots on your docket for the day. I hate packing and moving. Hopefully in spite of all of that you will RULE!:hug:

Tammy, I've really been interested in yoga, but that's about all I've done with it. I'm going to have to come up with something and soon! All this snow and it's not easy to run right now.

soon2be, ding dong.........too bad you can't come computer to computer....much less cold that way. Can you call your regular customers and ask if they want anything?

kyemom, thanks for the pizza idea. That does sound good. It's so nice to be on phase 2!

beachbum, uhm if you don't feel like cleaning house.....could you possibly feel like cleaning mine????????? Pretty please???????:^:

KO, you seem to be pretty buzzed without the caffiene! Wow, you've got energy!

Schatzi, hang on darlin'! Hopefully some handsome sailor will pick you up from yer shipwreck!!!!!!!:o Congrats on the dh and and the job! It's great when things work out! Congrats on the WL:bravo: You are the MAN!!!

Jana, yummy girl scout cookies..............what a weakness.......those and krispie kreme donuts.....................:devil: Today is a new day.......

cottage, you are being so diligent with Curves! You are my hero!!!

Tazcat, enjoy your day off!

Well, I'm off to get on the stationary bike, then to run to the university and turn in some papers, then to work. Nice warm wind picking up, should put a nice shiney surface to the roads, just in time for it to start freezing again. The ER will be a mess. And the school district lets school out in the afternoon today to take kids skiing..........broken wrists and other body parts here we come.

I redeemed myself yesterday after my totally bad day the day before, feel much better. I decided popcorn is a definite trigger food for me....must stay away!

Hi everyone! Just a quick drive-by posting today! I'm trying to work on some school research on the computer, but of course the computer is giving me problems. Just when I really NEED it to work!!! And the space bar on my laptop keyboard is going really funky so it doesn't work all the time. :mad: Arggggh.

A big Happy Birthday to Hershey!!! :hb:

Morning all!
Had another good day yesterday and with another break in our rain I managed to take the recumbent out for a ride - it felt great!
This is the best I've done in a long time so I hope I can keep the momentum going.

Have a great day everybody!

Hump Day
 

Good Morning, well I guess it's actually afternoon here! Anyway good whatever time of day it is for you. It's yucky, windy and rainy here in NY. OOOh how I hate weather like this.

I need to cook some chili to warm me up. Hmmm gotta get going on that for dinner. My kuittle one decided to start walking this week so that's certainly keeping me busy! UGH! So much baby proffing I need to do now.

I'm glad to be getting back on track after vacation. I need to get back in my groove.

Have a great day ladies.

Pearsy - you & your rats....ugh! I have problems finding my little Phoebe....she's so tiny & she's black, brown, and tan....she blends with my brown furniture & poorly lighted apartment! It is funny to see her in the windows...her little tail hands out of the blinds...hehe

soon- What is Phoebe?

Grrrrr! Went down to the cellar to start some sorting and found I was partially flooded. Romano and the lads missed patching a spot. He was back here darn fast this morning and needs to pump, dry out and plug and plaster a part that got missed. Grrrr! Another three days of crud!

It's a good thing there are no cookies in this house! :mad:

Hersh is going to have sf ice cream for her birthday treat, by the way. There's just enough for her so I'm safe.

Sheesh people. So many posts, so little time! Well, here's my story. I skipped kick boxing last night because my head hurt so badly. I went straight home from work, got in my jammies, turned on the space heater, and got snuggled under my Bears blankey on the couch. Three hours of just resting (not even resting my eyelids) and my headache was gone. Poof! Gone. So I got down on the floor and did some crunches, pushups, and leg lifts for ten minutes and laid back down. Some is better than none, right?

I'm feeling fantastic today. Slept like a baby. No headache. I'm very excited because volleyball starts up again tonight. Of course, only 4 of our 6 players are playing this season because the other 2 are on the DL, but we've got 2 people filling in. Neither of them are any good, but it's two more bodies on the floor anyway. I never thought I would be excited about all this exercise, but I really am. I missed going to kick boxing last night. :(

Taz: BRRRR!!! I hate cold weather and it sounds like it's pretty chilly where you're at. Up to 41 here today so I'm excited. I'll take 40s and 50s in the winter!

Ruthie: No more Romano? :cry: Hope Hersh has a great birthday!

Cottage: Sounds like your weather is doing what ours is. We've been having a few days of 40s and 50s, then rain, then snow, then a couple of days of 30s, and start over. It's going to be in the 50s tomorrow. I can't wait!

Jana: Have a good half day off to run your errands!

Schnatzo: Congrats to you and Man Chicken on the weight loss and Man Chicken's job! You rock!

KO: Hope you found some caffeine! I don't know what I'd do without mine in the morning. (Go back to sleep?)

Beachbum: Hope you're enjoying your lazy day!

Kyemom: Way to go getting back to the gym! Once you start working out, you'll get addicted and won't have a problem sticking to it!

Soon: Get that water! That's one of the things that I'm consistent about because I can tell if I don't get all my water. I feel sluggish and icky and bloated and fat. You'll feel so much better! Hope you found some yummy soup to make!

Pear: Glad you found your rat. I think they're cute, I just don't know about having house rats where I let them run and poop all over the house, even if it is play time. Plus, I would be afraid of losing one and it starving to death because I couldn't find him.

Tammy: Congrats on trying yoga! I can't touch my toes, so it's a little rough for me. I get about halfway down my shin and that's it for me.

Steph: Way to be girl. You just have to remember that if you have a bad day, you can't beat yourself up about it. You did what you did, you made the choices you made, and now it's a new day and time to move forward.

Barb: Wow, brownies. Those sound good. You should have made the SBD brownies instead and that way you could have some without feeling guilty! Maybe next time. Way to get back on track today though!

RNMOM: What's 5:00am? I hate snow, I hate plowing and shoveling snow, I hate having to get up early because of snow. Stay away from that popcorn!

Christina: I understand the frustration with the keyboard. My "a" key either won't work when I push it down, or I push it down hard and it types two "a's" instead of one. Fortunately all the keys on the computers at home work.

Seachick: Hope you have a fabulous day!

Amy: Hope the weather gets better for you!

Whew.

Well anywho, I have a ton of projects to work on and only a little time to do them, so I should get going. Hope you all have a fabulous OP day!

hump day...
 

gosh you girls are chatty, I'll try to jump right in. DH and I are both doing good here on day 5. He of course has lost 6lbs to my 2lbs but I expect it. Still kind of irksome though:p , just like when we go to the gym together and I bust my butt for 100 calories and his nice mellow pace while watching ESPN burns 250, LOL.

But my clothes are already starting to fit better and I've been doing a lot of strenght training so I probably lost more fat and gained more muscle, yeah that's it...

Tammy- workout clothes are really expensive but there's a lot of choices between ginat sweatsuits and spandex thong-thingys :rofl: . I say if the sweatpants don't actually fall off you, just cut 'em into shorts. The champion website has some good deals sometimes. Also don't know about your area but I tried to hit the gym last night at 5:30pm and so did everyone other person in VA! I couldn't even find a parking space for about 30 min.

I did it girls...I worked out at lunch!!! I am back on track...Now just have to keep it up...WOOOHOOOO

Hi Chicks:)

The storm went north and missed us on the Cape, except for a few towns with power outages,but we were lucky,I think its over as the sun is shine.

Weezle-Yes I did :yes: enjoy my LAZY day,made out my shopping list for tomorrow.Glad your feeling better,by all means a little exercising goes a long way.

No :no: sorry RNMOM don't feel like cleaning anyones house.hehe :lol: You must be tired first with the snowplow at 3AA and that with all the kids in the ER.Try to get some ZZZZ's tonight.

Hugs:) BB

Hey ladies!!
I went out peddling AVON...no luck. One lady actually ignored the door...wouldn't come & answer! I got a few hubby's...left a catalog for wife. How depressing.....so much rejection!! One lady was mad because I didn't have any "freebies" that she liked. Sheesh..beggars can't be choosers!
KYE - Phoebe is a kitten...some nasty woman left her behind when she moved out of my apt. complex, so I adopted her. DF was completely against it at first because we already have Thunder....an 8yr chubby (like his mama!) siamese. He's warmed up to her because she gets up every morning with him and sits on his lap while Thunder & I sleep in.
Weezle - I opted to try Ruthie's beef stew recipe...in the crockpot & it smells wonderful...warm & cozy in my little apt. Still struggling with the water...only 32oz so far.
Well....off to watch the news & pick up a little before DF gets home. Going to watch the biggest loser tonight - maybe I'll even get on the gazelle while it's on!

Crap. I forgot Biggest Loser SE was on tonight! Volleyball will probably go until 8:15 so I'll only be able to see the last half of it. I need DVR or something. That's all there is to it!

soon2befab: Did you see "Walk The Line" when Johnny Cash was trying to be a door to door salesman? I feel for ya, that's a tough gig. It must be difficult to compete with the on-line Avon buying, assuming they have an on-line site?

Better luck next time to you!

Evening chicks!

My first time to get in here today. If I don't get up in time (5:20 seems early enough for me!) then it is evening before I can check.

Weezle Sounds like we will need to got together, drink red wine, and watch Biggest Loser! I can't wait to see the two couples tonight.

Barb Way to get back on track. You are smart to not beat yourself up and just get on with it!

I am tired, so am going to go curl up with DD, a glass of water, and some papers that need to be graded.

DH is keeping both girls home tomorrow, so for the first time in about 2 months I will only have to get myself out the door!! (Not his fault- he went for 31 days in December without a day off. OUCH!!)
