Dee-I just ate a huge spaghetti dinner and even had some garlic bread. It's been awhile, but Patty is home and wanted spaghetti for dinner. The garlic bread loaded with butter was calling my name. I'll take spin in the morning to work it off since I don't have to work tomorrow. A walk sounds wonderful. I'd better bring some walking shoes. Notice the join dates?? We've been in touch for 8 years without ever meeting in person. I only wish everyone could join us! Come on Gayle, wouldn't you love a quick trip to Fl next week??
Shelley you make quite the detective! Shh am I slow or what. Hard to beleive that it has been 8 years. Speghetti dinner sounds yummy. I went to a dessert party last night and I put two pieces of cake on my plate but only ate 1/2 of each one. Yes you definitely will need to bring your shoes we can walk and talk after lunch.
How cool are the mornings and evenings Shelley? Is a sweater warm enough and capris?
That would be so cool if everyone would join us. What do you think girls?
I surprised Shelley last night and called her....lol She didn't recognize my voice, I didn't sound canadian enough.hehe I actually thought that Shelley sounded similar to Gayle. I just was so excited that I had to share my excitement with someone so I called her.
Janice you are doing good, keep plugging at it. If you don't the alternative is to gain and we don't want that.
Suzy no baby yet? I think that the waiting game would make me eat and eat and eat. You are doing awesome now just get better.
Gayle what are you up to these days? How many hours are you working?
Cheryl do you have your christmas stuff up yet? I bet when you do little Jake will love it. Ahh christmas with a little one.
Dee-What is cold to me is probably warm to you. It has been in the upper 40's to lower 50's in the mornings. You can probably just use a sweater. I think Orlando might be 5 or 10 degrees colder than where I live. It is supposed to stay in the high 70's this week, not sure what it will be next week. Capri's should be fine. I'll wear them, unless it gets colder. Then I'll probably wear a pair of jeans. I can't wait.
I just spent 3 hrs. cleaning my dining room for tomorrow. My DH is a pack rat and has computers all over my dining room, not to mention all the cables, stereos and everything else. Thank goodness people don't come over often. Anyway, I got it all removed and it actually looks like a dining room again. He just got home and wanted to know what I did with all the monitors. Well, I took them down to the trash. There's a cable on one of them he needs. Oh well, the stuff has been sitting around collecting dust for way too long and I am sick and tired of it. He better watch it because I might just attack the carport. It looks like we are white trash out there.
Thanks for the info Shelley. You are right when you think it is cool out it is probably warm to me. Are you still wearing shorts?
That was a big clean up job you did! Larry cleanned out a room last night that was full of stuff from Vivian and Lucky. He just moved it out to the pool house but I got to get rid of the stuff. Most of it is cross stitch material and patterns. I was hoping to sell it but haven't learned how to do that on ebay.
Who is cooking Thanksgiving dinner friday? Are you having big gatherings?
Janice and I will be good catholics and eat our fish on friday....lol
I saw on facebook that you cleaned your dining room for three hours Shelley, now I understand why it took you that long.
I didn't leave the house today. I didn't have to work and it snowed all day. I wrapped presents and lazed around. Doug is still working out of town so its pretty quiet around here, just Maggie, Angelica and me.
I hope you two will take some pictures that you will share with the rest of us.
I was discouraged with only losing one pound but it has been pointed out to me that its the pound that took me out of the eighty's and into the seventies.
Dee-I am actually wearing sweatpants most days when I get home from work. I'll be wearing them today after my run also. I think I will just go ahead and wear jeans for coming to visit you. They are the most comfortable for the ride and anything can be done in them, except for running.
Janice-Yes, that 1 lb took you out of the 180's. That is terrific.
Mike is making the turkey dinner. He is smoking the turkey. My mom and dad will be here, along with my babies. Becky broke up with her BF, so she was too upset to come last night. She will drive up today. Tomorrow, we all will be going to a wedding celebration.
I am heading out for a short run before more cleaning out. Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I am so confused Dee! I'm Catholic, but we don't eat fish this coming Friday. Share please! I even checked out my Catholic calendar and here in the states, Friday is nothing special. We have the first day of Advent coming up this Sunday.
Shelley & Dee, I wish I could join the two of you! I have a feeling we could get ourselves into a bit of trouble! All in fun though! You two have a great time together and remember to take pictures! I will be thinking of you guys that day and will be with you in spirit.
Suzy: Got baby yet??? LOL! Wishing your family a blessed Thanksgiving. You have had a rough few years and deserve having the joy of a few new additions in the family.
Janice: You are doing great on the diet front! Enjoy the holidays and get right back with the program. YOU CAN DO IT!
Cheryl: You NEED to start using that silly work computer for visiting us again! We miss you! Give baby Stew a hug from Auntie Gayle!
We had a cousin pass away yesterday. My family is on a roll. Within a 3 month period, we have had a relative pass away each month. An Uncle, Aunt and now a cousin. My other Uncle is on Hospice care and doing as well as can be expected.
All of you have a safe and fun holiday! We smoked the turkey, made a few salads & pies and are getting ready to head out to MIL's.
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!
Gayle I am sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. It is hard when you keep lossing people.
I was talking about eatting fish on fridays because when we grew up we had to eat fish every friday. That was just what the catholics did. I don't follow that any more but there are still some restaurants here that there special is fish on friday.
Shelley the time is getting closer to when we will meet. I am looking forward to it. You can email me or when I get down there I will email you or call you. I am not sure yet what our cell phone number will be. Larry gets a cell from work for traveling.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I am hoping to cash in on some of your great thanksgiving deals. We never have sales like that here.
I will be in touch with you all when I can get on Larry's pc.
we made it safe and sound. I have been busy checking everything out. Went shopping at the outlet mall yesterday. Got a few deals but not great. Drank to much beer last night.
It is so beautiful here. I am just going to head out again.
We had a wild thunderstorm here yesterday but today is nice and sunny. I already hit the pool swam lengths and did aquasize. I am off for a walk to the office. I think that I will sit by the pool for a bit and then go to sea world. I have a week pass so I might as well go a few days.
Last night we went out to Olive Garden for dinner. I have lots of left overs for lunch. The boss says when I am out with the boys I need to eat and drink like them. I am just afraid that I might get the bosses belly if I hang out with him to long....lol
Can I just say that I am SO JEALOUS that Dee and Shelley are getting to meet each other!
I'm sneaking in a visit at work, so it may be short--and I had to start with THAT! So jealous.....tsk.tsk.tsk.
Jake is doing great--growing like a weed and just getting over a cold. He's into everything, still, and, of course everything goes in his mouth first. He's started gritting his teeth. Ouch! Makes my mouth hurt hearing it!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I was thankful for all of my Floozies!
I wish you could come too. I am glad that you checked in while you were at work. We miss you.
jealous eh? it will be fun and we will share stories and pics.
Grinding teeth yikes I now remember Jay doing that. It gives me the shivers thinking about it.
I heard you guys had a bad storm in the area Dee. Glad everyone is ok! I'm like Cheryl, I would LOVE to join you girls! What a blast all of us would have together, ah??? :-)
Cheryl, I remember my kids gritting their teeth. Allison still does when she sleeps. OUCH! I hope Jake is feeling better from the cold.
