Awww Cristina...so sorry about Ernie. I'll keep him in my prayers!!!

Weighed in at 173, carbs yesterday were 105...slowly getting back in the swing of things..

Cristina - sorry I let the cat out of bag about Ernie..I read it, but never noticed that you went back and deleted..you still get lotsa big :hug::hug::hug:, hope he gets some good news fro the vet.

Susan- I wish I could get into beets, they are so nutritious. I only like them roasted, even then not that much, No one else here will touch them, so we don't buy them. Yay on the great WI!


Mindee- I wondered the same thing - why won't he come in? I mean, he can't really do his job if he doesn't, now can he? I hope it gets fixed soon - it's cold out there! Glad Tommy got his unemployment, what a relief.

Sassy - both houses look great - and a big improvement over an apartment, that's for sure! Glad your back is feeling better.

Sue and Tammy - hope you both are feeling better today.

Jules - keeping your mom in my prayers...let's hope it's nothing to worry about.

Nothing much new with me. still cramping. still bleeding...ugh sounds so delightful..I see the doc tomorrow - yay!

Bachelor tonight - yay!

Back again for a few minutes...

Susan...for breakfast I fixed some bacon and scrambled eggs for Cambrie, I had oatmeal and 2 slices of bacon...glad there wasn't anymore because I can't ever get enough of that stuff. For lunch she had one of those dreadful frozen kid dinners...I will not give those to her anymore...too bad for her, as in not good for her. All your talk about beans I had to fix some white beans with ham today...just sounded so yummy. I've been meaning to fix them for a few days and finally did. Making some cornbread later to go with them and not sure if I will have any meat since there is ham in the beans...we'll see. Good job on WI :yay: :bravo:

Katy...:bravo: to you as well on your WI. Sorry about the cramping and bleeding but glad you are headed to the doc tomorrow! :hug: Not expecting any good news from the vet...just confirmation and to see how bad it is.

Mindee...I'm with the others and wondering why the guy won't come in, ummm, yeah, how is he supposed to fix anything? Glad Tommy will get unemply.

Francie...thank you again. Hoping all is well with you and Fonzo, oh and your BIL...almost forgot about him.

Hi again to everyone else :wave:

Got Cambrie off to preschool after an incident, lol. She dumped her milk in her lap! Of course I tried to get them cleaned in the sink, I did actually but they didn't dry in time. She went off in a pair of pants I had for her while she is here but her momma won't be pleased, lol...they didn't match her outfit-oh well! Anyway...better get going almost time for Jeopardy.

Hoping everyone is having a GREAT day! :hug:

Katy - I am sorry about the cramping and all around icky feelings.:hug::hug:

Yay to the 173 though! I never have tried roasted beets. I am a pickeled girl at heart I guess.

I like the red kidney beans too. I had the salmon today on the salad and it tasted a little salty to me, I usually just season w/ pepper. It was good though and feels or felt me up. I might have to drag Gab into the store today and get another cucumber and some more tenderloin chicken for tomorrows salad.

I also been drinking a lot of decaf tea during the day. Last night I had the munchies so I grabbed a candy cane and chomped on that.

And today I tried the spring blend of greens and really didn't like it. I know. What a whiner today.

And since I am on a roll I went to a 7:45 meeting w/ the school speech lady and she cut Gaby's time from 90 min a month to 75 minutes a month. I asked questions on why and she seemed a little uncomfortable , maybe she just doesn't have the time???? I was going to add that at her old school the speech lady offered 15 minutes to Gab before school started.

blah - blah....anyway we compromised on exercises we can do at home and I am looking into what her medical would cover because she did start at Kaiser.

anyway , better go get Gab from school. She starts her swimming tonight and I hope she is fast asleep when the Bachelor starts tonight. I made it through the Golden Globes last night.

*sigh...........anywho....chat later.

oops, you snuck in Cristina....

Bacon is evil, stay away from it! I thought you meant oatmeal at first that you couldn't get enough of...actually cold oatmeal is yummy and when I make it I have to only make a small portion because I will eat the whole thing.

Poor Cambrie, good thing you had some extra pants , I bet she looked great. I saw a little 2 year old this morning at school in the layer looked with a meshmash of colors and patterns. I think that is the in fashion! lol

now I really need to get to Gaby!

talk later. :wave:

Ahhhhhhhhh I feel good!!!!!!!! I just got back from the gym!!!! I did 10 mins on the bike, 5 mins on the treadmill, and 5 mins on the elliptical. Then Fonzo & I raced each other on the sidewalk in front of our building. He beat me the first time. But the 2nd time, he got all cocky and was showing off, so I ended up winning, lol. I feel really energized right now too. I also feel really icky..so I'm gonna go shower right now, lol.

Hi All :wave:

Thanks. We're only probably gonna go look at the one house. (the 1st one) but figured I'd share them both anyhow. lol.

Well back to work for me, my back, so far is not hurting, so lets hope it stays that way!

We're supposed to get snow either tonight or tomorrow or both. We'll see. So far this year we've only received 5 inches total so far here. Whooppee. :trampo:

Big :hug: to all that need them right now!

Toodles!

:wave:

Sassy- I really like the house you are going to see. Looks like it would be roomy, and a nice backyard for cook-outs with friends. If you like it inside I hope you are able to get it. :)

Francie- Keep up the good work. I know exercise does make you feel better. I just get off the mark so often...ugh. Neat that you and Fonzo can do it together.

Susan- I also like red beans on salad. Actually, I am looking forward to my favorite salad fixings on the buffet in Vegas. Big salad keeps me away from the bread and fried foods. I never did tell you what my breakfast was...it was a veggie omelet and 2 small pancakes. Also had potatoes, but after one bite I gave those to DH. That is the meal I cut in half and had for 2 days. The omelet was HUGE.

Katy- Yay..you are doing great. Good luck at the Dr. tomorrow. Can you tell me what percentage of your daily meals should be carbs?

Cristina- Lucky that you had extra pants for Cambrie. Cute though. Yum...bacon, I could eat a plateful. (is that food porn??) :)

Jules- Love cottage cheese, not so much the beets. Well, um, actually, NOT at all the beets. Mom likes them so I buy them...that's as far as I go. LOL

Tammy- Wow..from one wedding, into another wedding and head first into grandparenthood. You go girl! "Grands" are one of life's greatest treasures. I know you will enjoy every minute!!

Alright ladies. I am all packed except my bathroom goodies which I will pack in the a.m. Ready for a good night's sleep, so I can stay up till all hours in Vegas. We are supposed to get snow in the morning and I am going to be sooo mad if the roads get bad. We have an hours drive to the airport.

My back is a lot better, but not 100%. It will be ok though. I will post here late Sat. night or Sunday. Depending on how tired I am when we get back Sat. Be good while I am gone and play nice on the playground!!

STOP!!! Head on over to BIK#69...see ya there :wave:
