Oh ya...I'm gonna be joining a gym after next payday!!!! I told Fonzo that since he'll be paying it..it will be his job to drive me there and see that I dont waste my membership, lol.

Good Morning,

We made it to school just on time...w/ the time change I have been wide awake at 4am and when I finally get back to sleep I wake up 30 minutes late. Poor me....hope my internal clock catches up soon. :yikes:

Sassy - You can call me anything you want. lol I have been called SuzyQ and Susie and my last name, which is kind of a first name. So. ya.....call me whatever......just don't call me late for dinner. hahaha. anyway, feel better!

Francie - I read Bachelor starts Jan.5th. Hope you aren't getting sick, pop some Vit.C's maybe?

Kristi- I love peanut butter. The food god's must have been thinking something different because when I went to the car to get the peanut butter sandwish the doors were all locked and my keys were in the ignition. Great. So, I called roadside service and they came and opened the door for me, thank goodness for insurance.
I like to add chicken tenderloin and veggies to canned soup. Evenings seem to be the tough time for me, if I can stop at 4pm and tell myself that I am done for the day that helps......course I haven't done that for awhile:D

Katy- Hope you don't get a full blown cold. So far Gab and I are doing ok but I guess Rach is sick w/ a head cold. Have to go to HR today at the hospital and do paperwork. I am looking forward to just 1 job!! :) Thanks.

Sue- sweet you have a friend from grade school, amazing. You are crazy to be riding in the wind. lol , be careful.....

Mindee- omg- the kids start early, huh?? Makes me feel old.....Gaby was silly for Brandon in another 1st grade class, the one she went to the bowling party for...I asked her the other day how he was and she said "I don't know...he plays kick ball w/ the other boys"....lol

oops, have to get to work! :wave: to everyone else!

Cristina
Asia
Jules
Sassy
Susan

I am not sure about Tammy???

Sue,Katy,Kristi, Mindee and Francie are passing on the exchange.

Hi All.

UGH all I've been doing is sleeping!!! and I STILL feel like crap!!! Will I ever feel better????!!! lol.

K enough w/ the whining. I guess the good part of feeling bad is I have no appetite and hardly eat a thing.........Hmmmmmm........new weightloss plan? lol............Just kiddin'.

I am kinda hungry but I don't feel up to making anything to eat and we don't really have anything quick and easy.............:(

Well there I go whining again.....maybe you all should give me some cheese with my whine!!! lol..................:rofl:

Kristi -- My DH works on all the machines in the hospital and he totally loves it. He used to be a paramedic/firefighter then he got hurt, so then he went to college and got a degree in computers, so now its kinda the "best of both worlds" and he absolutely loves his job now.

Francie -- That is how mine started!!!! So I feel for you!!! Take some meds and get some rest hon! :hug:

Suzy Q -- LOL. So I will just keep callin' ya Suzy Q then. ;) hee hee hee...

Thanks all for all your well wishes. Well I am off to go yup lay down and watch tv.........again. Maybe this time I won't fall asleep! Ya right! :lol:

:hug:

Hello ladies...

You ladies have been busy little bees posting away.

Can't believe it is noon already, and I haven't gotten anything done...exercise that is. I was actually up at 7 too! Did get to the grocery store and got that stuff put away and that's about it.

Going to brave the wind in a few minutes...was kind of hoping that it would warm up a little. Only supposed to reach 57 but the wind is blowing 50-60 mph. So yeah, good luck to me walking in the wind. Only going to do half the walk and then hit the treadmill, unless I change my mind and just hit the treadmill instead. I was out earlier and it was a little cold...I don't want to get sick so...

Kristi...my route outdoors is 3 miles and then I will do a 2 mile Leslie Sansone Slim & Thin, Sculpt & Burn or Shape & Firm dvd. I will throw in The Biggest Loser Maximum Sculpt as well. I was mowing too but that's over so I will need to fill that in with something else. I try to get between 90-110 mns a day...doesn't always happen especially the last few days. But the way I see it, anything is better than nothing. Sounds like you have a great plan/menu. I need to work on the menu part.

Susan...hospital job will be here before you know it! :hug: I too like peanut butter...especially on english muffins, so good! Yeah the plants are for outdoors. I had pulled up two rose bushes in the front garden area and V thought it would look purdy with two holes, lol. He didn't even bother filling the holes. The plan was to fill them in the spring but need to do something with them now. I like your sister's way of thinking. I wish I could pull up/dig up about half of the stuff here and take it with me, lol.

Katy...no more M & M's for you missy! :nono: Hope you are feeling better today.

Francie...yay to the gym membership! Now that is motivation...making the hubby take you. Hope you are feeling better too!

Sassy...feel better soon too!

Sue...be careful in that wind! I would love to ride but it's hard enough just walking! Have a good lunch.

Mindee...boy & girlfriends already, yikes! Made me think of that Donny Osmond song...Puppy Love.

Hiya Jules, Asia & Tammy...hoping all is well with you ladies.

Okay, I better scoot and get some exercise done before starting in on something else around here. Right now I am doing some laundry...seems that has been put on the back burner the last few days-oops! Might just throw a dvd in and watch a movie while I walk.

Have a wonderful day! :hug:

well, no real issues in this house today!

one of the maintenance guys that works here came over to change the furnace filter, which mind you is in Logan and Brandon's room. I opened the bedroom door and saw that Logan was sleeping, so I was hoping that he wouldn't wake up while Steve was putting in the new filter. Sure enough...........Logan slept through the whole thing! Him and Brandon must have been partying it up this morning at the butt crack of dawn in order for him to be that tired!

Marissa is refusing to take a nap like usual....so that is nothing new! although she is really quiet right now, so maybe I can get lucky in that aspect!

My in-law's are supposed to be coming over today to drop off some money for the cookie dough that my MIL and SIL bought from Brandon. And then they are picking up some stuff that they bought from Brandon's last fundraiser!

Kristi~ I just noticed that you live in Wisconsin, I have family that lives there! Where in WI are you at? They are in the Port Washington area.

Katy~ I wasn't sure about this whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing.......but I guess we are safe for now since they are so young!

Sue~ That is great that you are still friends with her after all these years!

Francie~ That sounds like me with the kids candy! I am a sucker for the small twix's and the small kit kats. Although it doesn't help that between the three of them, they got 33 full size candy bars!

SuzieQ~ I can't believe how early they start these days! It makes me wonder how much worse it could get when they get older! but then again, I don't want to think of that just yet!

Cristina~ I was talking to Brandon's bus driver today. She said that now they will only be picking Alexis up, and not dropping her off. so I am sure that Brandon will be bummed by that!

Katy, Great job on ditching the extra candy. I lucked out this year. None of my children got to go trick or treating. There was a special CSI exhibit at the MN Museum of Science so we took a little trip there over the Halloween weekend. I did indulge in a huge Juicey Lucy burger at the 5 to 8 Club in MNPLS though. I think I'm still walking the salt off from that bad boy!

shopaholic, mmm Twix. My nemesis right now is white chocolate covered pretzels that were ordered from the scouts. They are so good and just right there on the kitchen table!!!

Susan, Tough luck locking your keys in the car. At least your insurance paid. I spent two hours on the phone arguing with ***S about not paying for a Dr visit. They talk so sweet and call you back and check into it blah blah blah just to ALMOST always tell you, " sorry that service isn't covered under your current policy" grrr

Sassy, Be sure to drink plenty of fluids at least.

Cristina, That's a lot of exercise YGG! I get those kinds of minutes in during the summer months. I have two friends who's children play on the same baseball teams as mine. Some days we have kids at practice for 4 hours and we'll take 8 and 10 mile walks together, but once fall comes I rarely do more than 4 miles and that's just an hour.

Mindee, I live in a really small town in the sw corner of Junea county. Port Washington is at least a three hour drive from me. It's a beautiful area!

No yoga for me. The skies cleared and I was able to get a 4 mile walk in with my buddy Mel. Foods been good. Now, just so I don't overindulge on that Stove Top!

Hello from the sickie. :wave:

http://dl4.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...pqv5iald4k.gif

I thought this picture best looks like how I am feeling. lol.

Take care all!~

:hug:

well, nothing really new since I last posted. Tommy and Brandon went out around the complex to sell some more cookie dough. They are going to go back out again on Friday to try and sell some more. Brandon had a goal of selling just four tubs, and right now, he is sitting at 10. If he sells two more tubs, then we get a free tub of cookie dough.

we are supposed to be going grocery shopping Friday night.....so I better get my butt in gear to figure out some dinner options for us! I am at such a loss that I am going to go and scour some recipe sites.

Here I am again..I was feeling a little better but the runny nose and sneezing is here again...I hope Teri didn't give it back to me....

going to WW and I am scared--haven't been doing the things I should be....hopefully with the cold it won't be too bad...

you guys have been busy posters once again and there is too much to catch up on to do indys...

I will try to be a better poster....

Sassy..that's how I feel, too. yuck. I'm supposed to go on a filed trip with my son's class today. I may take a shower and cold meds and just do it. I don't get to do so much with his class now that he's a big boy, so I'd hate to miss. It's aplay, so I hope to feel up to it.

Scale's back down to 170. It's my usual bouncing around, but I'll change it...hopefully it won't go up again.

Feel better everyone :) ((((BIK)))))

New glasses
 

Let's see if that works

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3197/...b6ee2138_m.jpg

yep - sick and at the crack of dawn, but I just know everybody was waiting to see these babies, right? :p

Omg..I feel awful!!!!! I'm actually considering having some ice cream just because I'm craving cold things right now (I wonder what that means? A fever inside?).

Katy~Love the new glasses!! I gotta get some new ones myself..but I wanna keep my frames, lol.

Good morning- Sorry I didn't do indies last night. Just felt yuck..and still do this morning. Are you guys spreading those germs? I blamed it on the Mexican food I ate, but that shouldn't be still going on today, so who knows?

I will be back later if my head stops pounding and my tummy settles.

Good Morning, we made it to Friday:carrot:


Kristi- 10 minutes and the towing truck was there! Benefits to living in a small town, I guess. I didn't eat the sandwish, it smelled to me, even though Gaby had just made it the night before.

Katy - Yee Haw Chickie! You look nice in the glasses, did you say they were Calvin Klein? I have to wait 90 days to get my medical in place but the first thing is an eye appt, I soooooo want new glasses. Good for you on getting back to 170 :carrot:

Sassy- Cute avatars. Sorry you are still feeling out of sorts!:hug:

Cristina -omg -I feel soooooo lazy compared to you in the exercise dept!!!! lol W/ the new job though there is a discount at the local fitness center, so I will check into that, plus Curves, PROMISE. Since I don't even start til 11am on the weekdays there is n excuse to find the time in the mornings. Anyway, don't fall in the holes.....lol. Oh, I did HR at the hospital yesterday and got a nifty picture ID to wear and after work this morning at the motel I need to go find some black scrub pants to wear the first day....after that they give you 3 uniforms for the year....and I get a free flu shot next week...!!!, life is looking up. haha

Jules - You ready for the X-mas exchange?!?! :hug: Hope the WW visit goes well , great to see you posting!

Mindee- I missed something:dizzy: where is the cookie dough coming from???? Brandons school? Like a fund raiser? Yum, what kind of dough? You know why has killer cookies, it is McDonalds, sooooo yummy chocolate chip.....not that I would know first hand.....lol. They are good though.

Francie- :hug: Hope you feel better!

Yikes, better get to the motel, 5 minutes to get there!! My last day of work there , sooooo happy about that and I am getting out of working Tuesday because there are covered and since it is Veterans day Gaby and I are going to see the R's....I miss them sooooo much. Rach is doing great on her GED testing, so proud of her.

k- going to be late!

well, I am making some apple cinnamon muffins that have been in the cupboard since we went shopping last month. the hooligans here don't really care for them that much so I will take them over to the office. I have some banana nut muffins that I know that hooligans will eat, so I am saving those!

we are going, or I should say supposed to be going shopping tonight for groceries! wish us luck, since it seems to be a dreary rainy day here. thankfully both Marissa and Logan are napping so they shouldn't be a problem shopping tonight!!

All I heard from Brandon today while we were waiting for his bus to get here was about Alexis. Oh yeah, we got his school pictures yesterday! They turned out so cute!!!! I will see if I can get a picture of them and then post it....not going to make any promises though since it was rough with the last ones.

Oops! gotta run the muffins are smelling good and the timer should be going off here in a second!

Mindee, I love www.recipegoldmine.com !

Healthy (((( vibes )))) to Sassy and Jules

Katy, I so love the new glasses! Hope you were able to make the field trip and are feeling better.

shopaholic, Ok, I'm guessing you're Francie and I'm hoping you're feeling better. Ice cream can cure most everything. Well, in small portions anyway.

suetalks, You feel better now too, ya hear.

Susan, I hope everyone was extra nice your last day on the job. Guessing the R's are children???

Having a great OP day. No exercise yet, but time hasn't run out. It's rainy and some snowflakes are mixed in. I may go in early to pick DS up from BB practice. I can walk the halls in warmth.
Feeling kind of guilty about being healthy here.
Hope you all enjoy your Friday night!

This is for Francie regarding Jesse and Deanna.

I tried to ride and the wind was too strong. I got 1 mile in and that was it. Feeling some better, but not tip top. I did a load of laundry, cleaned the kitchen and then have been lazy.

Be back later...
