Hi everyone.


Sue - Mason sure is one beautiful baby. I wish I lived close so that I could
give him some hugs and kisses also. Also give you a real sorry about the pain injections. You need to have him to look at while you get it, and maybe it won't hurt quite so much.

Mindee - Happy Belated Anniversary. Hope you had a good one. Did you guys go over to your MIL's for dinner on Mothers Day?

Sassy - Did you find out if you will get to work from home? Good thing that you got your office all finished. Have you finished reading the mew book yet?

Francie - Did you guys end up going to the Star Trek movie? If you did is it appropriate for a 6 year old? My hubby really wants to see it.

SusieQ - Is that the name of the wine on the bottle? I haven't seen it anywhere. It was pretty funny to see all Cody's classmates and him at the party. However it has brought war between my MIL and myself. Where did your ex learn to cook? How was your weekend with the girls?

Cristina - How are you? I got to see your pictures. I love the one of you and Cambrie in the car with your shades on. Too cute. Has it dried up over there so that you can go watch baseball and soccer?

Jules - Yes we are married to twins. to you and your mom. I love your handsome little sweethearts new picture on your avatar. I will have to change mine soon.

Katy - How is life in your corner? Are you busy with soccer and baseball?

Well I must run. I am babysitting a sick little punkin, and she us to go sit and have a cuddle so she can feel better.

Have a great night everyone.

stopping back in before heading off to bed....

Brandon doesn't have school tomorrow, well now it is today since it is Thursday......so it should be an interesting day.

thanks for the belated anniversary wishes......

Kathy~ Nope, we didn't go to my MIL's house for Mother's Day. we stayed home and had Taco Bell and finished watching the Red Wing's game.

Howdy...sorry I've been MIA, just real busy. Look at the blog, and you'll see why! Hopefully I will burn a few calories moving this stuff around

Hope you all are well :bighugs:

Real quick here, cuz Grey's Anatomy is on..


Kathy~Yes, we saw the movie. And theres a lot of action. I mean, I saw some pretty young kids in the theatre. Theres no sex or anything. Some of the people could be scary looking to a 6 year old, lol.

Sassy~Yes..that was the part I was talking about!!!!!! LOL!!! What did you think of Midnight Sun??? OHH..and remind me to tell you to abot this one fanfiction that I'm reading. It's very naughty. LoL!!

well, my walking partner fell asleep on me.....I just might still take a walk by myself, but I am not sure about that one. I might take a brisk walk really quickly after I check my email.

we managed to make it through yesterday without any major fights between the kids since Brandon didn't have school. what am I going to do when Brandon gets out of school for the summer?

Hola.

Well we've been working on my husband's "room" not really his office, as we share this computer, but whatever it is, we've been working on it. We have to get it done because my mom comes up next week. So far the weather looks nice, so lets hope and pray it continues the rest of next week.

Jules -- in my job I could easily work from home if they let us and got us all the accesses.

Kathy -- Only thing we heard about working from home is for extreme emergencies, like the Swine Flu. Um, I'm not buying that, sorry. Why would you spend all of that money on VPN's just for emergencies when we couldn't work from home with those anyways because they have to come and set us up first! That makes absolutely no sense! Esp in this economy to just waste money. But whatever its not like they are going to just come out and say, "oh btw our co. is doing really crappy and so you all may be working from home soon." Although I don't see why not since I think everybody is for it and it would save them LOTS of money!!!!!!!!! But what do I know? lol.

Francie -- Yes I liked Midnight Sun, but it was just too short. lol. Yes that part of the book was very hilarious! I really enjoyed reading the books for sure!! I am now reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, and so far I am NOT impressed! SOoooooooooooooooooooo flipping boring. Twilight books are just so easy to read and this book is very hard, for me at least. OH I saw Stephanie has another book out?? Its called "The Host"?? Anyways I probably will get it just because I have enjoyed the Twilight Series so much, but that is if I get through this DREADFUL book! UGH! I do hope it gets better!!!!!!!!!! lol.

Big to all.

Good Morning -

Is it just me or is writing on this site is becoming a chore? I am not real sure what I am getting from it anymore.

I just bought a bagel w/ a huge slab of cream cheese. I didn't eat it all but enough to feel somewhat guilty.

Going to sign my lease on the new place so no time at the moment.

I will say hi to Francie, Mindee and Sassy since you ladies posted since the last time I was on.

Well since ya brought it up Susan... It has NEVER been a chore for me to come here and post, never! I am just not feeling the friendship or support anymore and that's all I will say about that. I know I have been doing terribly since I've not been coming here, diet wise. But I have been thinking a lot about things too and I know I HAVE to do this on my own...no one can do it for me. But it had helped me when I thought I had some support and friendship here...and believe me when I say, I am not whining.

And anyway...since posting last I have had an anniversary and birthday, too many games to attend and a preschoolers schievement program among other things. Not to say I've not had time to post because I have read this thread daily, checked twice or thrice somedays, just haven't felt like posting. Anyway...I have to go exercise.

Hope everyone has a good day/weekend.

Good afternoon. Nice sunny day here and I had to go buy groceries. yuck!

Not a lot going on as I have just been loafing quite a bit since DS left. Not actually feeling sorry for myself...but awfully close. Gotta snap out of it.

Susan and Cristina- So sorry you both feel conflicted about the site. I know there are days..maybe weeks that I just pop in to see how everyone is doing, but then don't post. I like to know you are all okay, but for whatever reason I have nothing to say. That doesn't mean I am upset or feeling a lack of anything here, just means real life is, well, REAL. And maybe things that I don't feel like sharing are going on in my life. I know we all have those days.

As far as support goes...I am guilty and so sorry. It is very hard for me to be supportive when I am doing so poorly on my goals. I know that sounds selfish and I am sorry, but just hard to get pumped up at times. I am always thinking of you ladies and applauding your victories even if I don't always write here.

I know I need to be friendlier and join you all on My Space, etc., but I just do not like that site and am deleting my family page and my page with you gals. Just never even want to go there. I am so not into decorating a page, etc...and it makes me feel 90 years old to say that. LOL....

All in all I enjoy 3FC's more than any site I visit and need to make more of an effort to post here. But like I already said, sometimes life gets in the way.

Not sure what to say to everyone....Big Hugs to you all.

Yup..I feel the same thing. I hate to admit it, but I totally forget about the site sometimes. I'm not even dieting anymore..so maybe thats why I "forget" to come on here. Although, I do enjoy talking about everything else not relating to diet and exercise, LOL!!!!

Sassy~She does need to finish Midnight Sun!! It was very very very good. Better than Twilight!! I love knowing whats going on with Edward and the Cullens. I read Angels & Demons a few years ago..I thought it was really good. But if you dont like it, dont read it anymore, lol. The Host is sooooooooooooooooooo good!!! OMG!!!!! It really should be made into a movie!!! It's a little slow at first, but by the middle, you just get really into it!!! I LOVED it!!!!!!!

I know I don't post when I get busy, and I feel bad about it, but I sure do think about everyone and wish everyone the best. It's nice to know you are here, but I am guilty of not posting enough in general, let alone to support others. I do feel sometimes that my info is the same so much of the time, and I don't really diet, per se. I do enjoy reading everyone's contributions whether or not they are weight loss related or not...it's just nice to know there are others out there who share the same day to day concerns.

Yay - I have time for chatting!

Francie..Have you been to your Twilight convention yet? There are SO many girls (and their moms) reading that book. At my book group last Wednesday, we spent about an half hour talking about Twilight books...and I haven't even read any of them. Al the other moms have 13 year old daughters and they are all nuts about the books.


Jules - Big hugs to you, too...how's your mom doing? I think I read you posted that her tumors were shrinking...is she going in for a follow up soon?

Sue - what a cute little great grandbaby! Thanks for sharing the pics. Ya know, I don't like Myspace either, I'm on Facebook more and find it alot easier to use. I probably wouldn't chat with my dad much if it weren't for Facebook...kind of sad, but it is better than nothing.

Cristina - I totally missed your birthday..so a belated Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary! I'm like you, I read this thread everyday, but frequently it is in the morning when I am getting kids ready for school and there's not much time to write a lengthy post. I also agree with you that I have to do this on my own, even though support is nice when it happens. We used to say in TOPS, "If it is to be, it's up to me!" I always admire how dedicated you are to your exercise..so don't think you are doing terribly, because you are not!

Susan- congrats on the new place..I want to see pics of your view! Re: message board, I don't know if I feel like it's a chore, I just write when I can, and I know that my life gets a little crazy from time to time...and that won't be changing anytime soon, so I do what I can. Hey, that big cruise ship was on the cover of the Oregonian... I thought about you and Gaby and how that it's practically in your back yard. Guess there will be more luxury liners coming through Astoria...at least according to the article.

Sassy- working from home should be a big no brainer...maybe one of these days your employer will catch a clue....hopefully right around the time you have a baby...that would be great timing!


Mindee - were you able to get your walk in?

Kathy--Our sports are kind of minimal...DS is finishing up track and my DD is taking a gymnastics class. Neither one have been all that interested in baseball. DS only wanted to do soccer if it was indoor and there weren't enough for a team. Hope the punkin is feeling better.

HI to anyone I missed!


I shoveled compost for 2+ hours this morning. The weather is supposed to be great this weekend,so I will do more and work on the veggie beds some more this weekend. DS has his Meet of Champions tomorrow, then I'm attacking the compost pile for the rest of the weekend...I hope some calories are being burned - sheesh! It's slowing me down on the Lazyman goal, but I feel I'm getting a good workout anyway.

Ciao!
