Hi ladies,

Cristi - did you remember which book it was you wanted? Wasn't the Bob Greene one, was it? I understand he's pushing Slim Fast in it, and charging extra $$ to access his website. But that might be just what some people want. Like you, I think cleaning is so much easier when nobody else is around. Even though it's just Neal and me who acually live here, lots of people are in and out.

Sassy - glad you're feeling better. Some of the exercise programs on tv are pretty good, and as you say, something is better than nothing. I hope you get some good rest. You need it, missy!

Jules - aww, how cute! In another of the ultrasound photos, our little one was sucking his thumb. I can't wait to hold him. <sigh> Good luck with WW. I lost a boat-load of weight on the regular Flex plan, then messed up big-time at maintenance. Not sure why I dont just do WW again.

Sue - so what did you and DH think of Dr. Oz? The smoke in the casinos would KILL me, lol. Don't know how you take it.... When are you coming back to Indiana?

Marti - I'm so proud of your progress! And be sure to share some recipes if you have time. My baked sweet potato fries were sure good! Now that I CAN'T use the treadmill, of course I want to, lol.

Hello to anyone else reading this.

I used the exercise bands yesterday, so that's something, at least. Today I walked a lot in Evansville while shopping with my buddies, proabably more than I should have. My feet feel like they're about to fall off. Dixie dropped me off at the doors of the stores we went to, so my feet wouldn't hurt as badly, with this pf. I'd hate to know how bad they'd hurt if I'd walked any more than I did! Btw, I stayed POP (perfectly on program) while out. We ate at Cracker Barrel, and I had grilled chicken, carrots and grean beans. No roll, no dessert.

Mary's good friend gave her a beagle that had been dumped near the friend's house. She's a small dog, and sweet as can be. After the fact, Neal noticed the dog is pregnant! So today Mary took the dog - Sadie - to the vet, and he recommmeded terminating the pregnancy, since she is so small, and we have no idea how huge the dad may be. It's a risky surgery, but not as risky as the birthing could be. Sadie goes in tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for her. She sure is a sweetie pie!

Toodles for now,

Jane- We enjoyed Dr. Oz and DH picked up on a few things that made him say "hmmm." I had read most of his latest book back in IN and am anxious to read both books when we get home. DH kept saying that we DO buy food like that and we DO cook like that and have for a few years. I said Obviously NOT or we wouldn't weigh what we do. Actually, we do buy things that are healthy, it is the other junk we eat AFTER the healthy stuff.
By the way...congrats on the new grandson...Blue is such a pretty color.

Jules- Good luck on starting WW. Seems like you had good results before so should really rock it this time. Keep us posted.

Sassy- Glad you are feeling better too...now get some rest.

Cristina- I remember how annoying it is to try to keep the house in tip top shape for the "lookies." Wishing you very good luck on the sale and purchase of a new home. I am really missing my new house this week. I think it is because of all the White sales and good prices I am seeing on things here that I want at home. LOL...

Marti- You are doing impressing things chickie. And to have your own private chef who cooks WW meals. Wow...you go girl!

We are feeling better here...even went out for a brief time today. DH is worse off than Mom or I today...still sniffling. But says he feels much better. I had a nice walk early in the day and was glad I did since it got real windy later. DH wants to start walking tomorrow, so that should keep me going.

Think I will go lay in bed and watch House Hunters...lazy I know, but everyone else is asleep. DH won't move if I turn on tv, so I am off.

Hey Gang!

Well I'm sorry to report -- no rest for me! I had to come into work early yesterday @ 2 p.m. and um I'm still here and have to be here at least until 4 a.m., maybe later! We were going to leave early @ midnight, but our co-worker was sick so we let him go home and we were nice and stayed. So Jane & Sue don't be too mad at me! lol. Oh yeah and we're coming in early today (Friday) too, but not until 4 p.m.

What can I say? I'm a gluten for punishment! lol. Plus with the new car now, extra money comes in handy!!! But seriously, one of our co workers had to have emergency surgery and will be out for a while so we have to kinda cover because someone has to cover for her.

I was a bad bad girl yesterday. But as Dr. Oz says, "Don't focus on that, just move on." So that is what I shall do. See I've been working now for almost 13 hours and I still am postive!

Well chickies I guess that is all for me, for now. lol.

Thanks for all the well wishes and requests for me to get rest! I did get a good sleep before coming in at least and I'm sure I will sleep VERY VERY well once I get home! IF I ever get home, Co-workers have been joking to us that we should just move in to work as it would be much easier! lol!

Take Care Everybody!!!!!!!!!

Okay I just got done working 14 and 1/2 hours a few hours ago, why can't I sleep?????? I stayed in bed for about 45 minutes, nothing. I even took some Nyquil because I started coughing again, hopefully it will kick in soon! I took it about an hour ago!

I so wish I could just take off tonight and I could, but that would mean bye bye overtime!

Oops! I forgot to leave a message saying head on over to 227 before I closed!

Well it's been started so see ya there!
