Ho ho ho!!!! Went to Wally world today with about a thousand other people. And tons of little ones being dragged around miserable. But people were nice and not grumpy. Boy am I tired. My back is so sore and sweet Steve just hooked up the heating pad for me. Don't know how he found it in this wreck of a house. But its all ready now. We're having finger food on Christmas eve and then our prime rib with a bunch of fixin's for dinner. I'm doing a cheesecake for dessert.
Ray- would love to have a mall near by the nearst one is almost 3 hours away. But next Christmas we're going there. Just forget about that fudge and go from there. Monet- You'll be tired tonight. And the cleaning too. That mug sounds so darn precious. What a wonderful gift. Bob- Got the stuff to make your lasagna for New Years day. I can't wait to try it. That spinach recipe sounds so yummy. I'll have to try it. Thanks for printing it I love the Barefoot Lady. Your cookin looks good lady..... Think I'll go heat my back and have a glass of wine. Till tomorrow. |
Guess everyone is busy. Hope you're all having a great week end. I took a fruit bowl up to the top of the hill to the people living there. Then ran in to town for a couple of things I forgot to buy. Tomorrow I'll try to get some housework done. Have a good night we're supposed to get snow later tonight.

I never got the chance to report back last night. We got the house in really nice shape before folks arrived. Tom vacuumed the whole house for me. I even waxed the dining room table! I was not too tired last night. I really enjoyed seeing Justin's aunt again. We are really good friends, but have not been able to get together for about two months. I will probably go up next week and work with her. I want to use the extruder and the slab roller in the studio up there.
Tom and I went out to breakfast with some friends this morning and had a wonderful time. Then he went shopping with me to Costco, and I got the pork roast and some stuff I needed for Christmas dinner. When we got home, he helped me wrap the presents. All I have left to think about are stocking stuffers, and usually the kids do those! So, I am wracking my brain to make sure I did not forget anything, but I think I am all ready for Christmas, and three days early! This is a FIRST! haha! No word from James...he was supposed to be flying in this afternoon, so I don't know where he is. I tried calling him on his cellphone, but got no answer, which might have meant he was in the air. I hope so! I know he is tired and ready to be home for a few days at least! :yes: TONI: Oh! A white Christmas! How lucky! BOB: You did all your shopping online too, eh? Isn't it great!? I love it! I really need a small thing for Laura and one for Justin, but since Tom got laid off, money became an object, so I am afraid to spend anymore. I hope they are not hurt by a lesser amount of gifting than the others get....I am praying they are ok with it, but one never knows with her... :dunno: |
Sounds like everyone is ready for the big day! I have cooking to do but that is all. We were surprised by an unexpected snow and ice storm late this afternoon. A drive that usually takes me 35 minutes took 2 hours. Not my favorite thing to do! :nono:
I got some agave syrup today to make the cheesecake with. I tasted the syrup when I got home and I really like it! I am anxious to see what everyone else thinks on Christmas day at the dinner. I really like only having to be concerned with glycemic indexs and not carbs per meal. Sure makes things simpler! I also hope this gets the weight loss and glucose readings headed in the right direction again! |
Howdy all, We didn't get our snow and it doesn't look like we're going to get it. So no white Christmas here after all. But brr is cold out. It was about 19 when I stepped out at 10 this morning.
Monet- I didn't get enough stocking stuffers for Steve's stocking and its mostly candy in it this year. Pretty sad looking sock. But it will have to do. Wish my house was nice and clean. We're pretty stacked up here from getting the carpet put in. It will have to do. jakebabe- Can't wait to see what you think of the cheesecake. It really is an easy way of eating. Well off to enjoy my coffee. |
AFTERNOON EVERY BUDDY!!
Yesterday seemed even longer than "the longest day of the year" is supposed to feel! Today is even slower! I'm watching Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel...right now, we're in India. Kate is layed out in the recliner watching the food network...says there isn't a good football game on. It just doesn't seem like Christmas to me. I'm just not in the spirit. I miss all of my family being in a remotely close area. I've got to figure something to fix for supper. That big pot of soup I made the other day is still available in the fridge, but I'm getting tired of it. It is good though....really thick with veggies and stew beef. I'm going to freeze a lot of it and we'll have it all ready when the urge comes again. I'm off, but will return later! BOB |
NO Good Football?????? You tell her the Patriots are on!!!!! LOL....Hope everyone is having a great day!!! I have not even started my wrapping.....tonight will be a busy night as we travel tomorrow. Have a wonderful night!!

HI all! Hope everyone is ready for the big day. I am about as ready as I am going to be. I have to work tomorrow (I work at a hospital). All the gifts are wrapped. All I have to do when I get home tomorrow is make my cheesecake and the dip I am taking to the Christmas dinner.
I will be glad when Wednesday gets here and this is all over with plus the after holiday sales start - yes! :woohoo: |

Hello everyone!
I'm just popping in to tell everyone Merry Christmas!!:hohoho: It's been over a month since I've been around and I am so sorry about that! I've just been so busy these days. DH and I are starting SB again after the holidays. I know that it's no use starting before then because I won't do it. I have my 20 year reunion this year - I'm sure in the summer - and I don't want to go looking like I do. I was "the most athletic" girl of our senior class - HA! That's a joke now! So, I really can't show up weighing 286 pounds!! So, I'm going to TRY my best to do this again. I managed to gain back all of the weight I lost while I was pregnant (how many people actually get to say that?!?!) I'm miserable and I am having a hard time keeping up with the kids. So, like I said - I'm going to try my best. I know you all have heard that 100 times in the past - I'm like the kid that cried wolf! HA! We'll see what happens! I know that if I come to the board daily I will be better off and more likely to stay OP. So, I will have to make time each day to post. The kids go to bed by 8:30 so I should be able to pop in before bedtime! I see we have some new faces! WELCOME! Can't wait to get to know y'all! Well, here are the pics that I put on our Christmas card this year! Hope you enjoy! OH................Guess what!!!! Lexie's adoption will be final on January 29th!!! Isn't that wonderful?!?!? Can y'all believe it's finally here?!?!! AMEN! Well, have a good Christmas! See you SOON! Missy |
Hi all and espeically Missy! Glad you are getting back on program. Since I am just starting out we can support each other on our journey! And no, you do not have the market cornered on gaining weight while pregnant - I kept 20 pounds with my first child and 50 with the second and I liked it so much I gained 20 more! Now that I am a diabetic I have to get rid of this excess poundage. SB seems to be the best plan for me in all regards.
Hope everyone has a great holiday - I am at work - could not see wasting a day of vacation and sitting at home when I can come in to a work site where almost everyone is gone and still get paid to surf the internet all day!:carrot: |
Hi Beauties - welcome Fruit!!!
I'm flying by and will be back logging when I return to work January 7th. I am doing very very good considering the volumes of food and the availability of it........I'm say NO NO NO NO, Merry Christmas bahahahha I went for a run and a workout today......plus NO SUGAR. My son and I decided ORANGE JUICE WITH LOTS OF PULP would be our dinner wine :) You guys all seem to be thriving and gettin' the job done too!!! See you soon Ray xoxoxoxoxo |
Its a great day here in the Ozarks. I'm having a wonderful day. Steve wanted to run to Wal Mart this morning so we did and had a great time. Stopped off and bought lunch. He finally got his stuff wrapped and all the snacks are made for tonight. So I'm relaxing and enjoying the day. Theres no excuses but my eating has been awful. It will be good when this is all over but mean while I'll enjoy the holidays.
Missy- My gosh its wonderful to see you. I'm so glad you're coming back. :carrot: The babies are wonderful. They look adorable. Congrads on the adoption finally coming to and end. Jakebabe- Happy Day to you. Sounds like an easy job. Ray- Have a good holiday!!!! Well if I'm not back everyone have a Merry Christmas.... :present::snowglo: |
