Back In Kindergarten #21
 

"I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc.
Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......":wave: :cheers: :sunny: :cheer: :cofdate:

From Susan:

It is a Winter Wonderland here! Very beautiful watching the snow fall. I made it to work, can't beleive that! I have never driven on snaow before.
Just wanted to take a minute to say hello and share (finally!) some weight loss news. I am down 3 pounds! Yeah!
Take Gaby for her pre op appointment today, poor baby. Chat later!! On the run!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Cristina:

Hello ladies!

SUSAN...will be thinking of you and Miss Gaby. Give her lots of hugs from me! You made me think of the first time I drove in snow. I was 16 and a waitress and had to be up early. I was trying to be quiet because I knew my mother would want to drive me to work because of the snow. Anyway, I left early and was creeping along the street driving like a little old lady (shouldn't say that because I've seen some crazy old lady drivers, lol). This person passed me going way to fast and I though what a dip. When I finally got to work the dip was one of the cooks and he looked at me and laughed. He said, you're the one who was driving so slow like an old lady. Hey, I had never driven in the stuff before and I was being careful, lol. WTG on your loss this week! WOOHOO

JULES...hope all is well with you. Did you go for your massage?

MICHELLE...how is our little Miss Oreo doing? She is sooooo cute!

KATY...hope you are staying warm.

SASSY...I saw that you guys (well the state) was getting some cold and snow, hope you are staying warm too.

SUSAN-NYC...how are you doing?

KATHY...is hubby going on the trip? Hope he gets to go.

Nothing much going on here today. I was up bright and early and already got in a 3 mile walk and feeling good about that. Almost got all my water down as well. And...my laundry is almost done. So really nothing to do today. Going to dust and vacuum once I get off this thing but the rest of the day will be a sort of lazy day.

Hope all is well with you all in your little corner of the world! Lot's of hugs

From Scuzin:

Hi!

WTG on those 3 pounds Susan! Still wishing I had a scale...

Had just about the best jog of my life yesterday...and the 2nd best the day before. Makes me sad that I can't go today...tomorrow though...tomorrow...

Life is a bit chaotic at the moment...everything is shifting around at work. My roommate may end up working at the same school (actually I really hope she does so that she can stay in the city...keep her in your thoughts and prayers, she means a lot) and we have a big retreat comming up next week that we have to prepare for, and well, life in a small apartment with 4 other people is, you guessed it, complicated.

Have a good evening, I'll check in tomorrow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Michelle:

SUSAN...I hope everything goes well with Gaby's pre-opt appointment. Yes, we are certainly in a winter wonderland!! The just announced a few minutes ago on the news that chains are now required in the whole Portland Metro area, so be careful driving today!!!

CRISTINA...Your story is cute. Oreo has so much energy and she is so feisty!! My DD has to put her in her cage for little periods of time just to get a break from her chasing the cats and latching on to her pants, socks and anything she can get her little razor sharp teeth into lol!!

Hi!

WTG on those 3 pounds Susan! Still wishing I had a scale...

How do you all do with water? I know I need much more of it. I get really dehydrated sometimes, but can never manage with a water bottle...I always forget to bring it with me or leave it whereever I go.

Had just about the best jog of my life yesterday...and the 2nd best the day before. Makes me sad that I can't go today...tomorrow though...tomorrow...

Life is a bit chaotic at the moment...everything is shifting around at work.

SASSY...You are such a sweetheart!!:hug: Thank so much for the cute card with all the hugs! I will pass some of the hugs on to my DD and Oreo. You are just so thoughtful!!:hug: :hug:

Hey all,

Yes we are finally getting snow! It is light and fluffy! lol.

YW Michelle for the card, I hope you all are doing well! :hug:

I'm off to watch some "Girlie" movies as my DH calls them! :rolleyes:

Take care and KEEP WARM! (those who need too!)

:hug:

Hello ladies...

SusanNYC...keeping you and your friend in my thoughts and prayers. Glad you had a good jog. And...me and water, ugh! I really do hate water but I do drink it. I aim for 64 oz a day and anything over is a bonus. Been doing good so far with it and getting more than the 64 but not much more. I am going to try and double it today, we'll see.

Sassy...yes, thank you for the card. You made me feel special and that was so sweet of you. :hug: :hug: Enjoy that snow and keep it your way, lol!

Michelle...how's little Oreo doing today? And how about yourself? Are you having a good day?

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Good day today as far as water and exercise. Was up bright and early and had my water down at noon. Started the day with a 30 mn. walk and then went to It Figures later so a whole hour of working out and I feel GREAT!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Lot's of hugs :hug: :hug:

Good morning Everyone
:hugs: :hugs: :hugs: to Gaby, and to you to Susan. Hope she feels better soon.

Well my DH got to go on his trip. Everything was found Monday morning like I told them would happen so they got to go. He phoned me on the cell phone from Porto Rico to tell me they got there and it was way to hot. I told him I would be an hour late to pick him up seems as he thinks he is suffering.

Well, I slept in so I must get going or I will be late for work, and my coworkers have already been placing bets on how many days I will be late. (Haven't been so far but I really have a hard time in the morning)

Have a great day. Cristina could you bottle your feeling great and send me some?

Afternoon!
WHEW! I'm substituting teaching for the 3rd grade today. Its a workout! But hopefully I will be running today too. It was WAY too cold yesterday. Its been hard to hydrate lately too because well...our toilet isn't working...maybe it was fixed today...Lord I hope so. Anyway...short check in ...more tomorrow...must get back to those kiddies

Hi Ladies! :wave:

SUSAN...thinking of you and Miss Gaby today. Give her lots of hugs from me. :hug: :hug:

KATHY...lol, about DH and you being an hour late. I was going to say I hope he has a great trip but I know he will. Hey, if I could bottle this "great" I would and send it to ya. How about some good vibes for ya? :goodvibes: :goodvibes:

SusanNYC...I feel for ya...I remember the kids being in 3rd grade. Hope you get your run in.

Hi MICHELLE, KATY, JULES & SASSY :wave: Hoping all is well with you all.

Just dropping by to say HI to everyone. :wave: Hoping all is well with you ladies, pretty quiet around here.

Take care and have a good day and weekend!

Good Afternoon!!!!

A moment to check in with you all. Thank you very much for your prayers for Gaby. She went in yesterday morning and had her tonsils taken out. The staff gave her a liquid medicine to make her *happy* which was kind of cute to see , she waved me kisses as she was taken to surgery. It went well but she had a very difficult time coming out of it and they had to sedate her again. Today I worry about her taking in enough liquids, she doesn't want to take her medicine, otherwise she is chilling and watching Animal Planet.
Her *father* called yesterday. The man we haven't heard from in 18 months. He wants to see her on Feb 17th, the day after her 5th birthday.
Michael thinks that is BS and I should go by what the court had set up, I tend to agree.

anyway
................. THANK YOU Cristina for the goodies you sent Gaby!!! She loves Barbie, thank you so much. :)

Ho to everyone!!!! Check in a little bit later.....Gaby is calling.

Hi Everybody! :wave:

I hope you all are well!

:hug:

Michelle-good job on starting the new thread!!

Sassy--thanks for the cute note!! Hope you are doing okay!!

SuzyQ--give Gaby some big hugs!! Anything special she likes?? Care Bears, Dora the Explorer etc....I can't believe that the ex just thinks he can show up anytime he wants--he will probably be in and out as quickly as before--Michael sounds like a smart man and will watch out for the both of you!! Sounds like he likes Gaby which is good since the two of you are a package deal!! How does he get along with the teens??

Cristina--sounds like you are doing good with the IF and the water--good for you.

SusanNYC--you sound busy but happy--it's good that you like what you do, how's the jogging going?

Kathy--I am not a morning person and tend to run late myself which is really not good since I am the supervisor!!! I do usually work late or take stuff home to work on or even go in on my days off so I guess that makes up for it.

Katy--hope you are warm and safe!!

Sorry I have been MIA, between working a lot,the stress of work and the neck pain I just wasn't able to sit and type at night after being on the computer and phone all day. The one hour massage did wonders--she said I was very knotted up and I need to go back again soon but I already feel so much better!! Started WW two Fridays ago, last Friday I lost a whopping 1/2 pound and was a little dissappointed, I started my TOM and was bloated so I was a little worried but I have been doing really good with staying on plan and drinking water, to my suprise I list another 4 pounds--I was so excited!!

Well I gotta go!!

Hey all,

YW Jules for the card. ;)

I feel totally BLECH :p and wish I could just call off work tonight, I mean I "could" but I know I "shouldn't"

Well have a Great Weekend!

Hi ladies...

SUSAN...aaahh, poor Gaby, hope she gets to feeling better soon. And I am glad she liked the barbie. Thought the care bear would be something she could hug before and after surgery too, and cheer her up. I love care bears, lol! I agree with you and Michael...not sure why the ex thinks he can just waltz in whenever he feels the need.

JULES...I am doing pretty good with IF and the water, now, if the weight will just come off! Doing something about that Monday...going to join WW.

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Did my 1 mile walk and went to IF...must be crazy because the weather is horrible! But I didn't think the snow would start until this afternoon or evening and I told Charlotte I would be there today so...I went. Then came home and shoveled snow for 1 1/2 hours, ugh! Will have to do it later as well. But easier shoveling an inch now and later than 5 inches at one time. Plus I get a work out.

Anyway, need to go clean house and get some laundry done. Take care ladies and have a good weekend! :hug:

Good Morning Sassy & Jules!!

Rach and I just rammed some tylenol w/ codeine down Gabys throat. She wasn't sipping on anything or wanting food yesterday. I was starting to worry so I said "lets hold her down and give her the meds" ......beats taking her through ER. Now she is eating some ice cream.

Jules - Cristina sent her a cute blue care bear. She loves animals and horses and she is getting into the Barbie. She likes the .......beanie babies animals - dogs and cats and such...and she always buys 2 of the same one so they are twins...lol Congrats on the 4 pounds!!! woo hoo......I bet you looking sexy :o *wink.......course remember you ain't my type. I think we had this conversation before....I am taken Jules!!! lol

Michael and I went out last night, he is a sweetie. We went for Mexican and a movie, saw The Good Shepard. Angelina Jolie is soooooo beautiful.

anyway - I better go Gaby says she wants a slurpee...

you all have a good weekend!!

awwww, Cristina - you sneaked in!!! Hi to you too. Wonderful on the walking.
You know last Sept when I was just moving in with my mother she told Mikes mother (when she called checking on me because I wasn't writing her anymore) that I would welcome him in Gaby's life. Course after that I went on meds and became sane again ( ok close enough to sane for me at least - hehe ) Mike didn't call for months, I think it was in December saying he wanted to make arrangements. My mom was talking to him , not me. Now he wants to see her Feb 17th and I am really not going to let him without all the court is asking him to do before that can happen. He is so annoying......opened my big mouth though.

blah - blah....slurpee calls!!!

chat later

SuzyQ--Hope Gaby is feeling better! I agree with Michael--make Mike the ex pay his back child support and follow whatever else the court has set up for him to do or it may get you into trouble. I still think even if he does start seeing her it will last only a short time like all the times before. He is such an @$$!! Yes Suzy we had that "conversation" before and I am taken too, for almost 21 years! My son is probably the only one in the world that does not think Angelina is beautiful.

Cristina-Your snow is suppossed to be coming our way today. We have had flurries a couple of times but it has been an extremely mild winter until yesterday!! We aren't suppossed to get alot of snow...more icy roads. DS and gf were going to come out but I am not sure--I don't want them on the icy roads.

Sassy--Have you gone to the doctors for the cat bites and scratches--you may be getting a nasty infection from them. Go to the emergency room if you have to and get on antibiotics.

Hi to everyone else--hope you are all having a great weekend!!

Hi Ya Ladies...

JULES...you can have the snow, lol! I hate it! It's just so messy. Starts out looking really pretty but then when you have to shovel the driveway, ick! Or drive in it. Usually, they do a good job on the streets, not the case yesterday. They said we got about 5 inches and some places got 8 but I think it was more 6-7 here. V took some pictures to show Josh...everything was just about covered in the yard, as well as his truck. Of course we still had that ice that never melted from last week to add to it.

SUSAN...sounds like Gaby is feeling better if she wants a slurpee, bet it feels good on her throat. Lot's of hugs to her. Sounds like you and Michael had a great time. I'm glad he is a sweetie! You deserve to be happy! :hug:

SASSY...hope you are fine today. Make sure you keep an eye on your arm. I agree with Jules though and think you should go to the doc right away. It may not seem bad but you never know when it comes to animals even if they are your own.

Hi KATY, MICHELLE, SusanNYC...hoping all is well with you ladies.

Nothing going on here today. Been in my jammies all day, in bed most of the day. That shoveling did a number on me and I over did it for sure. Really feeling it today. So, I've been taking it easy and will try tomorrow as well. I think I will be okay to walk but I won't go to IF...my arms are too sore.

Take care ladies and I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! :hug: :hug:

Hi all!
I went to the doc today. I seem to have some infections...ick...and I have to go for an ultrasound tomorrow. I can't decide if having a over cautious doctor is a good thing...or just annoying.

Was not able to jog at all untill Saturday because of weather or schedules but I did some great jogging this weekend...and thank goodness, since I had my first cookie binge since I got my appetite back.

Sassy, glad the arm is better!

Cristina, I WISH I had a day to sit in my jammies! I always end up busy or on the move on the weekend

Hope all the rest of you are well! Have a good night!

Cristina--well we got about an inch of snow and none of the freezing rain that was suppossed to come!! made me happy--I am not big into snow myself. I don't mind a little.

Sassy--I've been worried about your arm, glad it's better.

SusanNYC--hope the infection is ssomething that can be easily taken care of. I bet you Mom wants to come take care of you. If DD gets really sick she comes home for a night or two. DS calls for me to bring him soup and stop by too. My kids are so spoiled!!

Rough day today at work--busy and all sorts of problems--I was going to go to the gym but I am mentally exhausted and my eye is twitching!!

Hi everyone

Just popping in really quick to say hello. I can't believe how busy it has been since DH has been gone. DH has called once, but I missed his call and he talked to the DD. He says he is having a great time and loves us. If he really loves us, wouldn't he say he is having an awful time? :lol:

Anyway, I must run and get ready for work. I will check in later. Hope everyone has a great day.

Hi Ladies -- Just popping in to say hello and that I'm still alive. I'm so tired of our computer with problems, and then I've just been down and out, not really feeling like myself. Wanted to say that Oreo got a clean bill of health at the vet check up last week, and she's like a regular puppy now, feisty and into everything!!:devil:

SUSAN...So glad to hear that Gaby came through her surgery so well. I remember mine being taken out in the 5th grade, and it's just the worst sore throat ever, and even though you want to eat SO BAD, you can't. Give her a hug for me, and good job sticking with your plan of not letting her dad have her until he cooperates with the court orders!!;)

Hello ladies...

MICHELLE...glad Oreo has a clean bill of health. Sorry you are feeling down and out. :hug: Hope you feel better soon.

JULES...ugh, we still have this icky stuff hanging around. Don't think it will ever leave us! Glad you guys didn't get too much of it.

SusanNYC...hope all goes well with the ultra sound and the doc doesn't find anything. Sorry about the infections and hope you get to feeling better soon. Glad you managed to get some jogging in. WTG!

SASSY...glad your arm is fine.

SUSAN...hoping all is well with you and the girlies. How's out little Miss Gaby doing?

KATHY...yepper's, if DH loved you he would say he was having a horrible time, lol! Glad you are keeping busy and he is having a good time.

Not much going on with me today. Not sure if I will exercise today or not. Maybe when I get off the computer, we'll see. I will be going to IF tomorrow for sure though. And today is my first day of WW and I am doing great so far. I have the whole day's meals planned and I've not strayed yet. Don't think I will either. And I've used up all my points, well with dinner and a snack. Unless I decide to not have that cup of milk later, ick. That will leave some points but why...can't carry them over so may as well use them all. Anyway, hope all is well with everyone...lots of hugs! :hug: :hug:

Hi Ladies
Appt went well, nothing wrong, as expected. I'm going to be weighing in tonight...I'm a little scared...its been almost a month since the last one and I'm terrified of having gained poundage. *crossing my fingers*

Susan - Hope Gaby is recovering quickly!

Michelle - glad little Oreo is doing better :)

Jules - eek! hope you got a chance to destress last night

Hope you all are well.

:hug:

Hi Everyone

I am just watching American Idol. I love the audition shows.

SuszyQ - Wow have fun in Hawaii, but just remember if you really love us... the weather is rainy, the views are only mediocre, and you would be having so much more fun if we were there with you. :lol: Glad Gaby is doing better.

Michelle I am so glad that Oreo is doing good. I know all about computer problems. They are very frustrating. Hopefully you get them all worked out soon.

SusanNYC glad that everything is ok. :goodluck: with your weigh in. I am sure that it will be fine. Did you find it hard to get into jogging? How far do you jog a day?

Jules, Hugs to you. Sorry about the problems at work.

Sassy. was it your day off today? If it was I hope that you had a relaxing day.

Cristina hope that you don't have much more snow. I would take some of it, but we have lots. Is DH going to WW with you? I don't really know alot about ww, so maybe you can tell me a little bit about it.

Hi Katy how is everything going at your house?

I hope that I did not forget anyone.. Ok I must run.

Morning,
And the official weigh in shows...4 pounds down!!! :cb: WOOO!
Well I'm off for the weekend. All the people in the East region of my volunteer program are getting together for a retreat so I'll be MIA till Tuesday. Good luck to you all till then!

Sorry I've been MIA - we were snowed in last week and that meant the whole gang was home. Of course they all want a crack at the computer and it leaves me little time for posting.

I made these really yummy sweet potato veggie burgers last night. Only I used yams...whatever. You grind up about a half cup of nuts ( recipe called for peanuts, but I used pine nuts..almonds would work well) then add 2 cups of cooked taters, 1 cup of oatmeal and seasonings... I put in some onion and garlic and salt. I baked them at 350 for about 30 minutes..they can also be fried up in some olive oil if you aren't counting the cals too closely.

Just thought I'd share :) Yesterday was a cooking day. I baked bread, made a cassoulet from the Weight Watchers cookbook and the burgers. I'm done :dizzy:

Susan - Have a great platonic time in Hawaii,lol!
SusanNYC - glad it was nothing - WTG on the 4 lbs!
Michelle - Glad Oreo is doing well - how are you doing? Hope the soggy weather hasn't been making you feel cooped up.
Kathy - sounds like the hub is having fun..thanks for asking after me...we are doing well. Business as usual for another week or so then it will be utter bedlam as we have our flooring installed.
Jules - did you have a relaxing evening? Hopefully work will be better today.
Cristina - Have fun at IF - Sounds like WW is a really good fit for you right now...I can't remember - are you going to a group or at you doing it on your own?
Sassy - hey girl - how are you

Hope I got to everyone if not - well, HELLO! Have a great day!

DD just got up so I have to go :)

:( Hi Ladies,

You probably notice my username has been changed again, because of a scare I've had from another site I belong to. I've been being harrassed by a lady on another site, and she only knows me by my former username, so using my own name here is fine. I don't think she even belongs here, but wanted to be on the safe side of things. She had me so upset and worked up yesterday, that I think my stress level caught up with me, but I had a horrible dizzy spell, I was all clammy, sick to my stomach and I couldn't quit shivering for a good two hours. I took two extra strength tylenols and laid down for awhile, and I did feel better, but I'm still not back to myself completely today, still fighting a headache. It's amazing how you can have someone you are very close to on a site, and they write you a PM asking you if you're okay and how you're doing, and I gave her my honest opinion why I didn't feel comfortable posting on her team anymore, and that was it, from there on out, she's had it out for me. Oh well, I'm going on and refuse to let her affect me like she did yesterday.:( Thank you EVERYONE for your kind words, and I promise to get back to personals when I'm feeling back to normal again.:grouphug:

Hiya ladies :wave:

MICHELLE...Idid notice your username...it's a shame that the person is harassing you and being a big butthead. No person should make another feel awful like she has. Lot's of hugs to you :hug: :hug: And...I also noticed since I have been on you changed your avatar...hey, I liked the one of Oreo as your avatar and your picture next to your siggy. It's nice seeing your pretty face as I read your posts! I've been meaning to put a picture of me up and I will get around to it soon. I have one of me, Josh & DH but I have to resize it and get it scanned and on the computer first. Anyway, take care of yourself today.

KATY...I actually did join WW so that I can go to the meetings. I tried doing it online last year and it just wasn't working for me. I am one who needs to have the accountability. Knowing I am going to weigh in front of someone makes it more likely that I will lose and be more conscious of what I eat. Plus having to count points. I didn't realize you guys got so much snow up there. And your burgers sound delicous! I'm not much of a sweet potato/yam person though. :(

SUSAN...well, I hope you have a wonderful time in Hawaii! And I am happy that R decided he wanted you and Gaby to come regardless. Too bad you're not going in July or August...Josh is going to fly me out there when he comes back from Iraq. You better get to figuring out what to take for your trip missy! You're talking about tomorrow right? Not much time. Have a wonderful time and we will see ya when you return. I am glad Gaby is feeling better.

KATHY...WW is just basically counting points instead of calories. There is some work involved but well worth it in the end. I mean if you consider counting the points and figuring out your menu's, etc. You can eat what you want as long as you stay within your points for the day. You start off with a set amount of points plus 35 extra to do as you wish. You can use them all at one time or spread them out and have 5 extra a day or whatever you want to do with them. They just can't be carried over into the next week. Like your points for the day, you can't carry them over either. What I like is having a weekly meeting to go to, it really helps me. About the snow, ick! I think it's going to be around for a few more days. It's weird to drive around and see everyone's yards piled with the stuff. But I love all the snowmen people have made, and igloo's.

SusanNYC...WTG on the pounds lost this week! :woohoo: :woohoo: And glad everything went well with the appt. Have a wonderful weekend!

JULES...how are you doing today? Hope it's not a crazy day at work.

SASSY...hoping all is well with you too! :)

Well, ladies I didn't make it to IF. I got up with the worst headache. Went to bed with it and woke up with it. Since I went out shoveling snow I have felt pretty crappy...mentally and physically. Not sure what is up, just hope I am not coming down with a cold. But since I didn't feel up to that I am going to pull out my 2 mile WATP video and do that before dinner. I haven't done those in a while but not quite feeling up to walking or IF so it is better than nothing. That's about all that's going on with me. Hoping all is well with you all. Take care :hug:

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I am exhausted!!!!!!!!!!!


Congrats on your 4 pounds down SusanNYC! I always love your ID's Michelle and the avatars are the cutest. Wasn't the snow wonderful Katy??? I dorve on that, so proud of myself.....

Hi sassy!!!!

With this mad dash to get packed and visiting thrift stores for summer clothes (cause I hear it is 80's Kathy.....not that I will enjoy that or the lack of sex either....lol , I will missy you all- :) ) I wear a size *gulp 12 now. zzzzzzzzzzzzz, whatever , I don't care.

anyway just wanted to do a quick hello ....I swear I don't even want to go. I miss my Michael already....I will talk to you everyday Cristi - R has a computer - lol .....I hope the tropical paradise is worth it . lol oh, gawd.....as my world turns......chatter later!!

Hello ladies...

SUSAN...have a GREAT time in HAWAII!!!!!!! :hug: :hug: :hug: OMG!

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Good Morning!
 

Once again...I am up at the crack o' dawn....yeesh

Michelle - I hope you manage to ditch the little cyberstalker - that struck me as so creepy. Just take care of yourself, ok - don't let get you sick, it's just not worth it.

Susan - hope you are having a nice time in Hawaii.Waaa - it's so cold here - I wanna to go Hawaii!


Cristina - that's great about WW - I know I am enjoying the support from a group meeting; it does help me stay focused. Good job! I have a lentil veggie burger recipe too... for the non-yam-types :) I was so glad my son liked them because I seem to have alot of yams sitting around right now and I need to do something with them...guess we'll be having more burgers.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hiya Ms RosieKate! :wave:

WW is helping me stay focused too! I can get the exercise down but then the food suffers so...thought it was time to do something about it. I've done good so far this week so I am hoping to see a good loss at WI. :crossed: That's great that the kids like the yam-burgers. They actually do sound good. If you'd like to share your veggie burger recipe I think I would try it. It sounds good too!

It's cold here as well and I would love to be in Hawaii too! Hope you are having a good time Susan!

HI to everyone else :wave:

Have a great weekend ladies :hug:

Just a quick post to let you know I am around--extremely busy. Hope to be back when I have time.

Hello ladies...

Just checking in.

Jules...you are one busy lady! Hope you can get some time to relax soon.

Susan...guess you forgot all about us...being in Hawaii and all. ;) Hope you are having a good time!

Michelle...hope you are having a good day. How is our little Oreo doing?

Sassy...hoping all is well with you and your arm is better.

SusanNYC...hope you were able to get some jogging in.

Hi ya Katy!

Slow day for me today. Had to run to the post office this morning to mail some packages to the troops. Came home and did a 3 mile walk which actually felt good. Now on the 'puter while I get some laundry done.

Hope all is well with you ladies in your little corner of the world. Lots of :hug:

We have been enjoying the 80 degree weather with swimming (Gaby does this,I watch) going to the south end of the island and seeing the sea turtles at the black sand beach. Today we visited the Volcanoes Nat'l Park. It was AWESOME!! The lava flow all the way down to the ocean is an awe inspiring sight. HOpe to make it to the other side of Kona tomorrow and more sun, sun, sun!! Eating all sorts of wonderful chocolates.......lol . sorry, I think I ate a whole box. I am eating lots of salads too.
