Good Evening Ladies!!

Jane--Wow, what a weight loss for your first week!!!:carrot::D I'm determined to get back on track this week. I already grilled chicken for salads for the next two days lunch at work. Got my tracker and snacks packed and I'm back to being motivated. I went to WW this morning but didn't weigh in. The red cadillac (TOM) decided to give me a visit and I knew that I would be up in weight and I didn't want to disappoint myself.

Sue--Hang in there with your mom, I'm still thinking about you.

Mindy-Welcome!!! I understand your "Jaded" feelings about WW. When our leader in class announced that Progresso was introducing the 0 pt soups, she reminded us that the can was still 2 servings. Everyone started to laugh in class and said that they thought that 0+0=0!!! It does get a little confusing at times but I still feel it's the most realistic and healthiest of all the diets out there and I've tried them all.

Mindee--A new kitty? I'm so allergic, but I do love cats!

Sassy--Happy Birthday and Vacation!! OMG, I just had to laugh at you breaking your glasses, not the breaking of them, but just imagining you with a big wad of tape trying to hold them together at the bridge of your nose. I broke my glasses at work once. One side broke off and I walked around looking lopsided all day. I got laser vision correction about 5 years ago but now I need reading glasses :mad:

PJ--I'm happy to hear that your WDW trip was wonderful. I'm still jealous!

Welcome!!
Kathy & Ellen and you too Mindy!!!

Big Hugs to Marti, Cristina and am I missing anyone:dizzy: We went to the beach Friday for the Sunfest. Had dinner with friends, got up for a huge breakfast (that I didn't need), went to the festival and shopped the craft show. Then on to the outlets and ended with dinner at Carrabaa's where, of course, I overate again. But boy, it was a great two days. We got in late last night and today I did outside planting of mums and pulled up all the half dead annuals. I put my fall decorations out but it doesn't feel like fall....it was in the upper 80's today!!

Gotta end with a funny story. Dh and I stopped for mums on our way home from the beach. It was about 7 and almost dark outside....so we loaded 6 huge mums in my 4-Runner...about 1/2 hr down the road (we are about 1 hr from home), dh says that something just hit his shoulder. I told him he must be imagining it and teased him about having a ghost in the car. We stopped about 15 min later so I could pee and when I opened the car door and the light came on, we were invaded by GRASSHOPPERS!!! They were huge...about 2-3 " long. They must have been all over the mums. We looked like idiots in the Taco Bell parking lot (where I stopped to pee) swatting at a dozen grasshoppers and throwing shoes at them. When we felt halfway comfortable that we got most of them, we got back on the road but were scared to death that one might still jump out at us. It was the longest hour to drive. I feel buggy just writing about it now!!

Anyhoo, gonna get a light snack, watch Bro & Sis tonight and hit the hay. Take care ladies!!

hello ladies....how are you all doing?

we had a somewhat relaxing day. we sat around the house while Tommy went to the laundry mat. Then when he got home we met up with some friends and took the kids to a different cider mill this time. This one they got to feed ducks at, so they liked it a little bit. Then we left there and went to a Chinese buffet place....then off to Wal-Mart to pick up some things.

Sue~ I will continue to keep you/your mom, in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you guys can get to some good news from the doctor soon.

Kathy~ It is good to hear from you!

Jane~ Miss Priss is doing great! She slept on our bed with us. When I got up to feed Marissa on Saturday morning, she moved and climbed between Tommy's legs.....then she climbed on his back and laid there.

Sassy~ It was in the mid 70's on Sunday. It was still a nice day for shorts, but it got colder once the sun went down! Did you find your contacts? So, far she has only gone and checked out what it looks like outside through our door wall. When we left to go out on Sunday, she was laying under one of our spare dining room chairs. When we stopped back by to pick up something, she was still laying there. When we got home, she was up and ready to greet us.

Ellen~ Welcome to the group! I hope to get to know you better!

Tammy~ We used to have a kitty when we got together, until just after Brandon was born. She went to live with my mom and dad when she started peeing and pooping all over the house we were living in at the time. So far, we are not allergic to her. I did notice that my throat gets itchy/scratchy after I have been sitting with her on my lap. So, I am not sure if that means that I am allergic to her or not. That is a funny story! Sounds like something me and my hubby would do!

Good Morning, Girls
