Howdy all. Think I'm feeling better today. I'd better cause I've got allot of shopping to do tomorrow. Today I'm getting my son's last box to Iraq mailed cause he'll be moving around soon. Can't believe soon he'll be home. I'm so excited. And I know so is he. Not much else going on.
Solly- The carpet takes two weeks to get here and hopefully the carpet guy will come fast. We also have the guttering to put up. I'm hopeing that will be within these next two weeks then we'll be done with that part. Your menu looks good.
Monet- Hope you get it all done. What wonderful gifts your pottery will be.
Well I'm off. Have a good day.

EVENING EVERY BUDDY!!
I'm cruising through and stopping long enough to say hello to everyone.
Kate cooked a pot of PINTO's and I fixed her a small skillet of cornbread.
I'll be back after we eat...but I didn't want you to think I wasn't here!
BOB

Have a "Sugar Buster!" book question:
Where does it say to keep ur sugar grams in processed foods to 3 grams or less?
BTW-- I finished the '98 ed. of "Sugar Busters!" and found out by trial and error in my library computer search engine that they have the 2003 edition of "Sugar Busters!" available for me to put a reserve order on it... augh.

Hi everyone. Just a quick check in. I just added up November's totals for the shop and did quite well!! I was even able to pay some of our credit card bills, which is mostly how I funded the shop with 0% interest. I have many days when I find myself sitting on my butt crocheting by the heater and listening to Christmas music, but then I look at my books and see the shear amount of people that have come in for a haircut or color or perm and I'd have to say I'm doing better than I expected!! I already have $300 stashed for January's rent and all my December bills are paid and in the mail. Now I have to do my taxes. The $300 is mostly saved tips in my checking account and a $50 customer I had on Saturday, but my books have showed a loss both months, so I shouldn't have to pay too much in taxes...if anything at all. I'm new to it all.
Anyhow...I have been feeling a little sick at night lately from snacking too late and eating dinner too late. I told Derek yesterday, "That's it...no more eating dinner past 6-6:30 and NO SNACKING and more things like lettuce and fruits. Working full time has definitely made me more apt to reach for the convenience foods and you all know what that means. I just don't like how I feel. Its not even about weight loss anymore...I just want to feel better.
In other news...Derek got a call from Kinney's that they want to interview him. So, if you guys think of it, send up prayers for him that they come through for us. A job with them would mean so much to us. No more unemployment, we'd have excellent benefits and he'd have a job for life! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We could really use it!!
Okay...have to go get the boy moving for school. By the way, he's doing GREAT in first grade. The teacher has him in a leadership role, being in charge of a reading group of kids that are struggling and he helps them out while the teacher takes a different group. He's quite proud of it and the teacher says he's a great friend to the kids he's helping and does a great job. I'm very proud of him.
Okay...I'm off.

Just a fly by! I am SO busy trying to get stuff done. I have to get a lot done by next week and so I need to be throwing it all today and tomorrow so it can dry adequately.
TECH: I am so glad you are doing so well in the shop! I will be praying for Derek! Keep us posted!
TONI: I am glad you are feeling better!
BOB: You never came back!
TEA: As I mentioned in your other thread, I can't remember where in the book the 3 gram rule is. I don't have time right now to re-read and find it. I will when things settle down, but I am a potter and this is my busy season. I don't think the newer version is too different from the old one, but since it will be fresh for you, let us know what you think!

Hi!! I gave up sugar completely August 2. I have had sugar by way of ice cream 3 x's and I am eating brown bread sometimes.
Is this the place where I come for support?

Good morning ladies, oops! it's afternoon.
Got a few packages wrapped last night and ran out of paper and tags. Got up this morning and did 15 min on the Hoping to go to the gym tonight. I am trying my best to be 100% 90% of the time. I know there are a few parties planned and I will be off plan. So I have to be as good as I can now to make up for those parties. This is a tough season. I am trying to walk every morning. That's my plan, now to stick to it.
Monet, we understand how busy you are. Get your stuff done.
Bob, send me some of that cornbread. Do you make it from scratch. I always use a box "Jiffy".
Tech, you are off to a great start. You should get lots of business for the holidays. Sending prayers for Dereck's job. He deserves it.
Toni, Your son will probably be home before he even gets the box. It will be here before you know it. I am so happy for you.
Tea, I think the older book is better. But I don't think there is much difference. Carrots are added back in the new one I believe.
Rayoflight, This is a great group for support. Sounds like you are doing good w/o your sugar. Our group is small right now but it will pick up. It is important to come here everyday for great support and help. Looking forward to getting to know you.
Breafast was so good today, Oatmeal with blueberries, walnuts and milk. Yum!
Lunch was a salad with ham and those Bran crackers & a banana. Has anyone tried those Bran crackers. They are great. I love the Herb & Garlic ones. WW too!
Better get some work done. Have a great evening.
Dinner will be a roast with green beans, carrots and another veggie.

o.k. I will check in here every single day except weekends because I don't have access to a computer.
I was totally and completely turned around by William Dufty's Sugar Blues and have been on and off sugar via 30 days here and 30 days there. However, when I eat it I always want more so this is something that *I think I'm much better without. No one takes not eating sugar seriously because even poetry is written about being sweet,.....and it does taste so good --- how could anything so great be so bad for you.

Boy, I think TONI was pretty excited to get her shopping done!
I got a good bit done in the garagio today, but not as much as I wanted. I loaded up the kiln and turned it on low to warm up and dry the stuff I need to fire. Unfortunately, a platter I was making for a special order cracked. I tried to repair it, and will see in the morning if I was successful. I hope so, cause it was a LOT of work.
Tomorrow I have to throw plates. LOTS of em!
Night!

Good morning ladies,
Whew! I am worn out. I think I got to finally sit down last night at 10:45 and went to bed at 11:00. I am still worn out today. I did force myself to get up and got 25 minutes on the Went to the gym last night and got a good 60 minutes for more in. I will see how I feel tonight before I commit to going.
I finished wrapping all my gifts last night. I am finished with my youngest DD and DH, need to do some fore on my other DD. My SIL wants some gun, so he will have to go with us to pick it out. He is so into hunting now.
Monet, I am sorry your platter cracked. I guess that is the uncertainty of pottery. You never know until you open the kiln. Hoping you can fix it.
Toni, congrats on getting your shopping done. I am close to you, ti is such a good feeling.
Nancy, I think anything that tastes good is not good for you. I don't come here on weekends either. That is fine. Post some menues and we will check them out for you.
Bob, Working hard or hardly working?
I sure hope some energy kicks in soon. I am really dragging. Have a great day.

Morning everyone. Boy its windy and cool here, cloudy and yucky. But I'm sitting here having coffee and watching it out the door window. The chimes are ringing all around my house. I plan on going to the next little town and I saw some nice candles in their little store there and I think I want to get one for a gift to add to my other stuff. I need now to start wrapping and to make my DIL's stocking so I can get it in the box to mail this week end.
Monet- Sorry about the platter and I'm sure hopeing you fixed it. Good luck with the rest of the stuff.
Solly- Hope you get perkier as the day goes on. You sound so tired.
Well I guess I'm off. Will be back later.

EVENING EVERY BUDDY!!!
Sorry I didn't get back the other night, and missed yesterday completely!
We're really busy at work and believe me, I'm getting in my exercise..I'm running all over our suite! Our Christmas party is Friday night. They are having it at one of the COuntry Clubs and it will be buffet. That will make it easy to pick and choose. I've eaten at this dining room before, and the food is FABULOUS! I'll report back on Saturday about the evening!
TONI...I know you're glad to have that shopping done. We're doing something different this year. Only the KIDDO'S are getting gifts. My SIL made a good point...all we're doing is exchanging money and the Adults can get out and buy what they need when they need it but the Kids can't.
MONET...I'm so sorry your platter cracked....remember my first mugs??? OYE!! When will James be home for Christmas?
JACKIE...GOONESS GIRLFRIEND...you've been busy...slow down or you're gonna make yourself sick! How's RUDY???
NANCY...I can't remember if I welcomed you or not, but we're so glad you're here!
I'm off to eat some supper....FRESH CABBAGE and ROASTED YELLOW SQUASH that I know of, will have to dig for something to go along with it.
Oh....JACKIE...you asked about my cornbread. I make mine from scratch using ONLY white cornmeal, 2 eggs and buttermilk...all mixed up and into a black skillet at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes. JIFFY IS THE DEBIL around here!
BOB

Morning! I have to unload the kiln, glaze and fire again. Then I need to trim plates, and finish up decorations on a vase. I worked until after midnight last night and could not fall asleep until sometime after 2...and woke up at 7:30..my usual time. I don't feel too tired yet. I may need a nap this afternoon.
BOB: James comes home just about every weekend. Sunday is his birthday, so they are giving him half of tomorrow off. He will fly in from Newark early afternoon. I kind of think he will have a week off at Christmas. Tom on the other hand, doesn't get any vacation days, so he will work extra hours the week of Christmas to make up for it. That is one bad thing about being a contractor.
TONI: My thoughts are that a little of some no no is not going to hurt you, as long as it is just a little! If you want cornbread, then go out to lunch and order a corn muffin with lunch. Then you get it, and you don't have to control how much you can have, and passing up on the leftovers.
SOLLY: Yeah, that is the nature of pottery and it can be maddening! I hope you can find a solution to your energy deficit. I know how you feel. I am feeling MUCH better with the increase in thyroid meds now, but for a while I could barely drag my butt out of bed! I have not even started to do Christmas shopping for my family and her you are done and have it all wrapped!
