Good Sunday Morning All
FINALLY, I'm getting on here and having time to post. I don't know where the time goes sometimes and I find myself having no time to even sit down at the computer to get in a post-thank goodness these kinds of days aren't too often.
Got in my walk/jog this morning doing 4.5 miles. Time wasn't great, 48 minutes, but better than not going out at all. Was able to get in 6 days this week, which I'm happy about. I know I have to find SOMETHING else to do besides walking/jogging and have thought about taking either a spinning class or weight training at the school-sorta leaning on the later though.
Eli is off today, but not home. He went to do the AIDS WALK down on Miami Beach with other SB people. Hope he took water with him, it's hot out there. Next week we have XMAS IN APRIL which is something we did last year and painted a school. I think we are painting more of the same school this year-always something. Anyhow, not sure what time he's due back home so not sure of the plans for today.
Went to some garage sales yesterday, not that many around for some reason-it was a beautiful day to have them too. Didn't get much, just a few things. Michael got a scanner for $2 and if it works, it will be a great deal, otherwise, $2 down the drain.
Friday's eating was AWFUL and I can't say why, but I can tell you it was ugly. Don't know what happened to me, but I was totally back on track yesterday and feeling great. Scale is at the top of my cushion and THAT I am not too happy about
I did have all good intentions of posting on Friday and actually started the post below:
Good Friday Afternoon!!!
Can't believe it's already afternoon, and the way I'm going today, I won't be surprised if I it takes me til evening to get this done and posted!!!!
This morning I got in 3.5 miles
Was happy since I thought of a few excuses, but out I went! As long as the weather is good on Sunday, I'll get in my 6 days this week, which I haven't done in a while.
Michael sorta pissed me off this morning-called and told ELI he needed me to bring a paper that he left to school. His room is a distaster, so I took ALL the papers on his floor (good place from them) and was almost at the school (which isn't around the corner) and he calls to ask me if I'm bringing the book!!! What book????? Had to run home, find this math book under all the crap in his room and go back-he owes me big time! Going to tell him if he doesn't clean up that room I will and he won't be happy if I do
Had to run some other errands afterwards, including going to my sisters house and just got home. I'm pooped already!!!!
ELI got home last night safe and sound. I had to circle the airport 10 times before I found him, what a pain. We didn't get home til after 11pm and didn't get to sleep until after midnight, at least I didnt', he stayed up for a while as I fell asleep. They gave him a gorgeous leather jacket for being Mgr. of the Qtr and pampered them all silly. Said the weather there sucked though. Next year it's suppose to be in Vegas-that, he'll like!!!!
Scale is up today, to 124. This morning eating sucked, had a sweet tooth. Kept it legal but once again, too much. Tomorrow should be better since I'm out all morning at garage sales.
Okay, I better get to the replies, I feel I'm going to be here at the computer for a VERY long time!!!
GATOR, can't say I've ever had a problem with potlucks since I'm not a church goer, and I can't imagine YOU having trouble with that anyhow. Whatever you decide to make to bring, just make sure it's
SB LEGAL, at least you know you'll enjoy what you've made and will know it's OP for you. I'm sure with being the great cook you this shouldn't be a problem and I'm sure everyone would love what you've made! Geez, the salmon you made sounds wonderful! Everyone says the salmon is fresh and only once have I had it where it doesn't stink up the house for days. When I smell it at the store it doesn't smell fishy at all-but when it's cooked-yuck!
NANCE, hey girlfriend, trust me, ELI is trying his hardest to get me to be a coffee lover. Give me chocolate covered coffee beans, coffee ice cream, candy with coffee nibs in them, anything like that-but coffee, just not crazy about it. Anyhow, everyone is happy that we don't drink it at home, they are all standing in line for the coffee ELI brings home each week. Hey, I did hear you when you mentioned chopping off your hair-but how short could it be? It was short when I saw you!!!
JACKK, thanks for explaining BUNCO-sounds like a fun game and one we could play in NC in OCT.
TV,
WELCOME BACK!!! We've missed you! So glad to hear all went well with the surgery and you recovered well. Happy belated bday-can't wait to see pics from the new present your received! I wish I could give you some good words on the situation with your MOM, but not ever having been in the position, I can't. I do know my friend NANCY went through the exact same thing you are going through though when her Mom decided to remarry another man they all MR. PETE-, it was very hard for the entire family. If you would like to "talk" to someone I'm sure she'd give you some of her insight of how things were handled within her family-just let me know. No new records to tell you about, just trying to maintain right now-how've the scales been for you since the surgery??? I know your eating wasn't OP, but I'm sure you didn't have to break out the double wide wagon seat to get back on track!!! I loved the "song" you wrote for BOB-I've missed that wonderful wit of yours! Hey, can you come up with a snappy name for those of us who are going to be doing the WDW MARATHON in Janaury?
HEART, CONGRATS on the 2lb loss you had the other day
I hope you are enjoying today and have a great day with the BIRTHDAY BOY-I wish you both a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! What are your plans for your bday day tomorrow? Your sqaush sounds yummy that you made!
TRANQUIL, first, let me say how I loved seeing your picture on the PHOTO ALBUM BOARD-thanks for posting it, as you KNOW just how nice it is to put a name and a face together. You're adorable and it's killing me to come up with who you look like as I find your face vaguely familiar and know you remind me of SOMEONE! Will have to rack my brains to come up with my answer. SB ICE CREAM-ick, too much junk in it-I'd rather go for the BREYERS, it's all natural! If you have a low-carb store in your area call and see if they have the Carbolite Soft Serve-otherwise, you'll just have to come down to Miami
ROSALIE, glad you liked the Lebanese recipe site-I know I have more sites that are good if I could weed through my FAVORITES files and find them. The broad beans aka FAVA BEANS, which are actually high on the GI I had found out long ago. There are 2 types, the big green ones and the smaller brown ones. In the middle eastern stores they are call FOUL, or spelled something like that, but pronounced FOOL. How'd the dish you make come out???
BETH, glad to hear your first day at work was good. Surprised they started you at the end of the week and not on a Monday. What are your hours going to be??? I'm sure you'll plan your WOE to work right in with your job without a problem. Planning makes all the difference in the world. How's your SD doing? What's the latest word?
MONET, I don't know how the heck you could NOT put on your a/c! We rarely ever turn ours off down here, even this winter it was on most of the days. Your DD's dress sounds beautiful. Can't wait to see pics after the special day of all your handiworks!!! Maybe it was a good thing Mom and I never found BREWSTERS, sounds like I wouldn't of been able to chose the SF over the regular ice cream either.
SEF, how'd the cake you make come out??? I liked your insight about remarrying.
FRUIT, good talking to you yesterday!!! You know I'm hear for you girl! CONGRATS on the new upcoming feather child. Please, just try not to breastfeed it-OUCH!
GRACIOUS, sounds like the shower went without a hitch and the ladies liked their new names. I'm sure that must of been a hoot! Wonder how many of them will refer to each other in the future by those new names! LOL!!
SOL, got your envelope, no picture eh, well can't you see THE LOOK as I'm posting this to you?????????
Will get in touch with you to "chat"-you'll hear THE LOOK through the phone when I call you. Ummm, to answer your question, I haven't signed up as of yet, but I will. I think I will put the same time as you have when I do.
SHMILY, sorry Madison is keeping you up at night-you KNOW they grow out of that, hopefully! Would you believe, the bank that I go to is now open 7 days a week! They have not only drive thru hours but lobby hours as well. Like today, they're open from 11am-4pm, they open early and stay open late on weekdays, even later on Friday nights, I think til 8pm and longer hours on Saturday! I wonder how long this will last. Too bad you weren't on the board just a few weeks ago, we drove right near you on the way home!!!!
MEL, don't do windows, or a/c's!!! Hey, we really aren't use to the 90's down here. It's not often that we get over 90 degrees, even in the summer, due to the breezes off the waters-you are definitely going to have more of a heat wave up north than we ever get down here. Time to come back for another visit!!!
POOCH, glad to hear you are feeling better. CONGRATS to your DD for her getting into that class! I know how you feel with now having both kids going to the magnet school next year. And my word, sounds like you have a little Einstein on your hands with your 2nd grader! Sounds like every one of your kids are doing great in school! I'm sure your DH was thrilled to hear this news. I'm sure you'll meet that goal before DH comes back-he's not going to recognize you!!! Thanks for posting those tips, found a few good ones, esp. #17!
FILLISE, CONGRATS on being down another 2lbs and hitting a new milestone!!! WOO HOO!!! What great news to hear. You like the heat so much that I'm willing to send you some more from down here!!! What's with this rash? Hope all those drugs they gave you have helped you find some relief.
VES, CONGRATS girl! Finally, the scale moved downward for you-see, as I always say, patience pays off! So, what did you decide about the dog? Saw the pots you have on EBAY, they are both beautiful. I am awaiting to see one of your teapots!! Would really LOVE to have you make me one of those butter bells one day
Hey, I'm willing to pay!!!
TRISH, sorry to hear you're having car trouble AND TV trouble! I've never seen this show you all talk about-guess that's the price I have to pay for not having cable. Kids think they are deprived without it-too bad! PLEASE let us know if you are going to be able to come with DH to Orlando-we'd be due around JULY for another get together up there, at least I would! Keep us informed.
ROSE, hope you are having good weather up in NC and enjoying yourself. Thanks for letting us know about the SF buns-though I have never even seen those offered down this way, I'll continue to watch for them in the future. Hmmm, apple sauce. I was reading a cookbook that had an interesting way to use some-will have to remember which one it was and let you know. How long does that keep?? The TURKETTES were found at this HFS that's across the street from a hospital my Aunt goes to-will have to ask her the name of it. I liked the COOP better. Did you get to go there?
RED, hope you are enjoying your visit with Mom and Dad!!!
JRED, hope you are feeling better today!
THUNDER, glad to hear you're doing well and everything's progressing well with the baby. What a pretty name you've chosen for her!
COUNTRY, sorry to hear about your great Aunt passing away. My condolences to you and your family. I have a few great aunts, one being 95 already!
SHEANN, please keep us informed about Jason and what the Dr.'s say on Tuesday-I hope and pray the news is good!
BOB, glad to hear you had a nice bday! Happy to have the chance to sing you happy birthday and talk with you, if even for a few minutes! Girl, you do love to shop!!!
If I missed anyone, trust me, it's not intentional! Anyone I missed, HOWDY!!!!!
Well, it's after 11am already and I've got to skiddadle and get in the shower, plus Michael needs the computer and Lauren wants to play a game of Scrabble.
Please remember,
TOMORROW IS MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY!!!! If you have any words of wisdom, quotes or stories that you think will help us get through the day, week, etc. please, try to post them tomorrow.
Have a great day!
Debbie

Evening All!
on SB. In fact, I have been to Mullens SC--have been stuck in traffic there. The only thing you forgot to mention was that the family renunion is a week at Myrtle Beach!
Happy Sunday
Is that bad or what? Mind you we get about 20 calls on the cell phone so it's not like we actually get to RELAX like we planned. If I were home to kids would care-a-less what I was doing!!!!
Like I need this on top of trying to recover from the pneumonia. DD felt like this on Saturday so I guess I caught it too. She is better today so I am hoping for a 24 hour cootie thing this time.
