Hello ladies, and a Happy Thursday to you!

SASSY...well, ya gotta do what is best for you and your family. Sounds like you guys have a plan with saving and buying a house...good deal! Reputable banks screw people just as well as others. Not saying that that bank will, just saying that because it is a bank that's been around for years doesn't mean they don't screw people. I know you guys know what you are doing though. And hey, I am all for saving moola! How is your FIL doing by the way? Your MIL too? Did she ever go to the doc?

SUSAN...hey, I think you and M are made for each other! Hey, if you move down to the beach can I come? I want to be a beach bum too! gotta lose some weight first so I can wear lots of cute shorts and such, lol. Glad it's not a bone out of place. No what about your throat and the gallstones? Have you heard from the doc about what he is going to do? The FrouFrou...just like the way it sounds. Don't like using my name for my username. I thought it was kind of random so sounded good to me...it is a band, that's where I got it from, lol.

HIYA JULES, MICHELLE, KATY, & SusanNYC!

Did the wally world thing this morning. Feeling really tired for some reason, sleepy actually. Since my back went out I have not slept good at all. Other than that not much going on. Headed to Sams later to pick up lots of water and other necessities. I have got to get things ready for a yard sale Saturday, ugh. I hate having a yard sale. But have some things we need to get rid of instead of carrying them around every time we move, what a pain. Can't wait to get back on track with my walking. Anywhoo...

Take care ladies, and I hope everyone is having a TERRIFIC Thursday!

Yay - someone is reading my blog! Hee hee. Susan - I am here, but just running around crazy. Lost .30 lbs this week. Need to go over to PEA and do a blog post (my weekly Thursday check in)

Been working hard to sit down for every meal and snack. Harder than it looks - yeesh - I didn't realize how much eating on the move I was doing.

DD goes to kindergarten open house today - she is so excited to see her classroom and meet her teacher. I think she wants to go to kindy right now - heck with summer.

Hope you all are well - I quickly read thru some posts.
Sassy - sounds like you did the right thing. We scrimped and saved to get into this house and have never regretted it.

Susan - hope things work out with M - he sounds like a really great guy.

Christina - is your back feeling better? Is that old news? I have been doing water aerobics and yoga this week and it's amazing how much better my back and knee are feeling

Hi to everyone else!

changed my mind, just very down right now.

Thanks All.

FIL is doing pretty good actually. His last test results came back ok so as long as it stays that way, he will be able to go back to work next week and he said he is ready as he is extremely bored at home and MIL is getting on his nerves! lol. MIL I think went to the dr, but I didn't hear anything about it. I think it was probably due a lot to all the stress from FIL being in the hospital, etc.

Have a Great Day!

Hello ladies...

Busy morning...

SUSAN...hugs to Rachel. Maybe you guys can help each other. You should print out your article from the paper (the one you sent me) and let her use it/you as inspiration to lose weight. You have come a long way baby! M sounds like such a sweetie.

KATY...wow, can't believe little Leigh is going to be in kindergarten! Where has the time gone. Back is much better, I think. I'm hoping I didn't mess up by doing some gardening this morning, lol.

SASSY...well, I am glad to hear both MIL & FIL are well.

MICHELLE...sorry you are feeling down, wish there was something we could do for you. We are here for ya when you want to talk.

A little late getting on the computer today, and not much time to post. But, hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Chat with ya tomorrow

Hi all, sorry I haven't been posting though I have been lurking....

Lots going on. Reader's Digest Condensed version is work still sucks and keeps me busy, I have been having problems with my allergies of course since it is spring, I ended up with the flu and had no voice for two days, DH and I are trying to work through our problems to salvage our 21 year old relationship, my niece and her little Blair are doing well, Little Henry Joseph arrived on Thursday, 8 lbs, 4 oz, 21 1/2 inches long looking like a carbon copy of his Daddy with the exception of a head full of jet black hair (will be a heartbreaker with the black hair and his Daddy's green eyes), DS and his gf are having problems which is breaking my heart, DD broke up with the bf who was going to be a cop--too controlling and violent, she met a new guy who has a three year old who calls her TeriBeri and will soon have a little sibling since DD is now pregnant--went to the first appt today and heard the heart beat and got an ultrasound picture the tentative due date is Dec 28, she goes for the sonogram to get a better idea of the date next month--she can't remember her last period date, all we know is that on March 19, the hospital did a pregnancy test when she had the stone to rule out an etopic pregnancy and she definitely was not pregnant then.

Well, I will try to keep up better!!

Hi Ya Jules!

Wow sounds like you've been very busy! Big as well.


Hi to everybody else out there! I hope you all are doing well and have a Great Weekend!

Sassy-Thanks for the hugs--it's been stressful to say the least.

I hope I didn't scare everyone off with my problems--it's why I haven't been posting--kind of depressing.

Hi everyone!

Jules - Whew! Here's some from me...hang in there.

Michelle -hope you are feeling better; I've been thinking about you this weekend and hoping all is well with you.

Sassy - Glad your FIL is doing better. I know I'm a day late and a dollar short, but, imo, you and your DH did the right thing about the apartment. OR did I post that already - I'm so behind!

FrouFrou - love the new nickname, Cristina! Kind of reminds me of a little french poodle....I've been out in the garden as well - amazing how much exercise that is. It never really seems like much until the next day and i'm sore all over!

Susan- did you get to see M this weekend? How's apartment hunting going? Would love to see Gaby in Leigh's school, you know - wouldn't that be fun? All this talk about greek salads has me salivating - gonna have to get me one of those.

I went to aerobics this morning, then took the kids to the zoo and walked around there for 3 hours. I also had a bacon cheeseburger from Burgerville, sitting down, I might add I think I may have burned it off, but I feel pretty stuffed anyway. My other meals today have been real light. I will eat better tomorrow! I will!

Enjoyt the rest of the weekend, ladies!

Hey Katy -- TY and no prob. I think we did the right thing too. I know we are not very happy with where we are now, but its extremely affordable and we can save a lot of money by staying put.

Congrats on the aerobics! We are going to take my mom when she comes up to visit this coming week to the zoo for the zoo babies........I think one burger is okay, esp since all your exercise you did!
