Hey Ladies.

This is totally Off Topic (I know surprise, right??!!) HA! But have ya all heard of the Pajama Jeans??? My friend was telling me about them and we were jokin' about them, but saw the ad online and was like, "WHOA! I want a pair!!!" LMAO!!

Ok you can go back to your regularly scheduled posting now! HA!

Hi Mindee!! :wave: Ah PJ and Slipper Day!! How awesome!! XOXO It totally would have been a great one of those days here today, it started snowing.

Have a Great Night All!

Just a quick Hi as my day as babysitter just ended a few minutes ago and between watching baby and feeling icky I just want to go to bed and sleep it off. Hoping by Monday this crude is gone so I can get back to walking and watch Lily. Going to try and find something around here for her to do or go to. Not sure there is anything but I just don't want her sitting here all day doing nothing. She plays but it would be nice for her to get out and interact with other kids...I think, lol. Anyway...will chat more tomorrow. Later gators :wave:

Hope you feel better!!!

Howdy! First week back went well - not too many snotty kids, lol! Eating has gone okay - I started tracking my food again and so far have had two days above the red line ( daily recommended cals + extra if I exercise), but the rest have been under. I have been getting my exercise - yay!

I gave up on Lose it! as the food selection wan't very good, and I didn't feel like entering a bunch of the foods I eat - it would have taken too long. So I went back to dailyplatedotcom. I have kept a diary there before, so it has many of my frequently eaten foods and recipes. I wish it would email me reminders, though. I liked that about Lose it...that and it would email me a daily summary. that was cool.

Later gators :)

I think those are kinda stupid. Just buy some jeggings, they are pretty much the same thing. LoL!! I have a pair, and I practically live in them 24/7. LoL!!

Sassy~ I want some of those! Tommy got mad the first time he saw a commercial for them because we were talking one night with friends and he had mentioned that someone should come up with those.....and then he went on to say that he would do it.....and here someone else did and he is kicking himself in the butt!

Cristina~ Feel better!

Katy~ Welcome back!!! I have been working out every day since Sunday....I just need to step it up and start tracking my food somewhere!

Another good day for Mom. She is slowly making it back...still sore at the incision site, but that will be gone soon.

I am fighting sinus/cold or whatever it is. But so far don't feel too bad. I hear of how bad everyone is feeling and hope mine doesn't turn in to something worse. Just popping my meds. and hoping for the best.

Broiling fish for the troops tonight but don't know what I will fix with it. I don't eat fish, so I am looking forward to another nice salad. Tomorrow I am making homemade chicken noodles soup. (Heavy on veggies)

Daughter cams by this morning to visit.. she had Mason with her. He is so darn sweet. He is saying a few more words so soon we won't be able to keep him quiet. :)

Hubby and I are not doing anything for our WA today. May get away for a day next week. Going shopping for a new stove and a ring. Yay!

I thought those pj jeans looked cute and comfy..but I wouldn't wear them. And jeggings I thought the same...not for me, but cute. HEY>>NEWS flash..I am 62 so what the heck do I know??

Hello :wave:

Quickie from me for now, I will be back later to post more. Slept in, then bought groceries and headed to the show...saw Black Swan and wished I would have seen something else. Like I told daughter...it wasn't bad and on a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 7...thinking it was just Natalie Portman. She did well but I still see her in that one movie, shoot, can't think of the name of it-call it the tornado movie, lol. Anyway...then off to Target to get a few things and I feel so pooped. I know it's this cold bringing me down. Anyway...I'll be back later. Ciao

Sue-Happy Anniversary!! You have alot on your plate. Hope the fish broiling goes well!!

Cristina--Teri said we should have went to see Angelina and Johnny Depp instead...keeps joking that I made her watch soft lesbian porn...the movie was good,definitely one that made you walk out thinking wth. We thought the previews for the Natalie Portman/Ashton Kutcher one looks like something we would like.

Mindee--your family definitely keeps you hopping!!

Katy--glad there weren't too many snotty kids...lol

Sassy--get to go back to Chuck E Cheese tomorrow for the actual bday party!! woo hoo!

Kathy & Susan--hope all is well!

Dommy didnt want to stay tonight...kind of made me sad.

doing my daily pop in to see how everyone is doing!

we took Logan to get his stitches out today.....he took it like a trooper! But the doctor is worried that it was red when he took them out. So, we have to watch it carefully and if it swells, the red spreads, or it starts to ooze.....then we have to take him in immediately! as it is right now......he has butterfly band-aids on it because the steri-strips that the doctor put on lasted all of about three hours! and that was even after the doctor put the liquid glue on it to keep them on! the bottom part of his cut, where the webbing is on your fingers, still has a hole in it because the doctor in the ER wouldn't put a stitch in that part because "it will heal and close on it's own" according to the ER doctor.

hmmmmm........what else? nothing really actually.......

Oh yeah.....Tommy is working tonight and will be on 10 hour shifts next week....

The first movie I saw with Natalie Portman in it was "Where the Heart Is" where she ends up having her baby in the Walmart store because she gets locked in the store.

Hello Chickies, again ;)

MINDEE...that is the movie, lmao! I've seen it a zillion times and read/have the book but for the life of me couldn't think of the name! Guess I remember the tornado seen the most. So what happened to Logan's finger, saw the cut on FB and that looked bad, poor little guy.

JULES...Yeah, it wasn't bad at all. So how's the grandbabies doing today? Oh wait, you just have Ashton??? I missed baby today but it was nice having a baby free day. Besides, I will see her tomorrow for family dinner and at Cambrie's basketball game. Won't go to Chase's since his is early and I have things I need to get done.

SUE...a very HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and the hubby! :hat: :cheers: Glad to hear your mother is improving!

KATY...glad your first week back at school went well. I never did make it back to the Lose It site...can barely keep up with this, FB and emails.

SASSY...how goes it? I have not seen those pj jeans, goofy idea but hey, to each his own. Someone mentioned jeggings and I do have some and love them to wear with my boots but not as pj's. And thank you, I am feeling better, just have a runny nose now, ugh.

FRANCIE...glad to see you back and glad you guys had an awesome time in Vegas! Would love to ring in the New Year in Vegas...lucky girl! Have fun at Ikea, love that store!

HIYA KATHY and SUSAN...hoping all is well with you ladies!

As I said earlier went to the movie with daughter after I bought groceries. After the movie went to Target and found some great deals for Lily. I like to keep some clothes over here in case she has an accident and so Charlotte doesn't have to worry about sending a diaper bag. Got her 2 pair of pj's (going to go back tomorrow and get 3 more of a bigger size. Got some socks and a cute little outift...hoodie with pants and a onesie, too cute! A couple of little spill proof bowls for her snacks and a sippie cup with a straw...she's been drinking from a straw for a while now and anytime someone has a cup with a straw she wants it! Anyway...spending money I don't have to spend, lol. I did manage to sleep in today and it felt good!

Tomorrow plans are to get stuff together for deli sandwiches for dinner before heading to Cambrie's basketball game at 3 (tired of cooking). Should be fun...a bunch of 6-year-olds playing B-ball...not sure if it is an all girls team.

Eating this week had been H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E! As has the exercise...absolutely no exercise at all...lazy arse! Oh, I did get 2, (actually 3 because there was 2 in one) WATP dvd's. Thinking that is what I will be doing until it warms up. Don't think I reported my WI Monday...it was the same, 193.4 or was it 193.8, ugh, I wrote it down. Not going to make my Valentine goal this way.

Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend! :hug:

about to head to bed but was checking my email one last time.....

Cristina~ Logan was trying to be a nice big brother and open up one of Marissa's Christmas present for her. He was trying to get the toy out of the package, and was having trouble. So, he went and got a butter knife out of the drawer. (this butter knife, came from a picnic basket that we had gotten, so it was a little sharper) And he started to use it to open up the box......we believe that he was using a sawing motion with the way that it was cut........and then we heard him screaming......dripping blood on the carpet as he was running to the bathroom where we were at.

Good Saturday morning!

I finally got in a good 8 hours of sleep, feeling good too! What I mean by a good 8 hours is I did not get up once during the night. Actually feeling rested. So thought I better get started on things...peas & carrots cooking for some mac salad and potatoes for potato salad. Not making a bunch of food. Then I'm just baking cookies for dessert and calling it good...well, I have some fruit as well.

As far as exercise, I am going to do 15 minutes of a dvd and then 15 minutes later. I am not in the mood for exercise but I will do something. If I break it up I won't be so bored. It's 24 out and I am not venturing out in the cold to walk...only supposed to be 34 for the high and that after 50 something yesterday! Supposed to snow tomorrow into Monday (we'll see). I need to get back on top of this exercising...don't know what happened. Oh wait, yes I do, I AM LAZY!

MINDEE...OUCH! Hope it is healing and Logan isn't feeling any pain. My thumb where I sliced it open cooking Christmas Dinner is healed on the outside but when I use the thumb, put pressure on it I can feel the hurt down deep...feels like it was bruised or something. It was nothing like that though. Enjoy your snow!

HELLO to everyone :wave: I better go check the peas & carrots, I can smell them cooking, stinky! Have a good day!

Geez..you ladies sure write a lot, lol!!

Cristina~Sorry you didn't really like The Black Swan. I still thought it was amazing. I don't care much for Natalie Portman though. Although..I just realized I own several of her movies, so go figure, LOL!! I LOVED Where The Heart Is.

Jules~ I watch to see No Strings Attached too!! Actually..Mila Kunis has a movie like that coming out with Justin Timberlake, lol!! I think it's called Friends With Benefits..or something like that. I dunno why..but I have a major girl crush on her. She's just so gorgeous!! I'm so happy she's not with the Home Alone kid anymore, lol!!

Mindee~ Omg, that sounds so painful. Poor kid!! I hope it heals soon.

Sue~ Happy Anniversary!!!!!


I forgot to mention this..it's kinda funny, & kinda pathetic, lol!! When my SIL & I were walking back to our hotel (in Vegas)..about 3 guys said they loved me, lol!! And one asked to make out with SIL, LOL!! I'm pretty sure they were all drunk (hopefully..lol). Then the next day..a TON of guys kept hitting on me!! A group of guys actually fought over who would get my number, lol!! It was so funny to tell them I was married!! They told me I was way too young & hot to be married for 6 years, lol!! A couple other guys told me I was pretty. Talk about a major boost to your ego, lol!! I told Fonzo that I wanted to move to Vegas..haha!!

Hubs caught my cold :(

doing my daily pop in......

we went to our nephew's birthday party today. we had fun and the kids had a blast! I was good....only two slices of pizza, some salad, one small piece of cake, and only one glass of pop!

Logan's finger looks a lot better today! it is only pink in color.....and I found some fingertip/knuckle band-aids in our first aid kit and they fit his wound area very nicely!

Francie~ That is great to hear....and I hope you can convince Fonzo to move to Vegas! I had a similar thing happen to me......a friend of ours asked what I was doing earlier this week....so I told him I was cleaning/chasing kids/same stuff, different day......so then he tells me that it was good exercise.....I was joking with him but I said "are you saying I need the exercise?" and he said "no your in good shape." I was really close to telling him that yeah....round is a shape......but I was on too much of an ego boost to be a buzz kill. (and when I used the " " up there, it was because the conversation was through texts)

Mindee~ LoL!! i probably would've said the same thing too. I have this guy friend who always calls me pretty girl. I'm sure he's just being nice..but it's nice to hear that. Fonzo ALWAYS says that..but I dunno why it's nice to hear it from someone else. LoL!! I'm glad Logan's finger is looking better.

Just a quick Hi :wave: Nothing going on, just a boring Sunday that I will enjoy. No cooking, although I do have dishes to do from yesterday and some vacuuming but that's nothing and a couple loads of laundry. The rest of the day will be spent reading and watching dumb movies. I do plan on doing a hour of exercise as well. I didn't get anything in as planned yesterday. Ummm, my planning/schedule was a little off and I wasn't sure I was going to make Cambrie's game. I did and it was fun...nothing like 6-year-olds playing basketball, too funny. But her team (The Broncos) won, yay! Lol

We are supposed to get snow tonight into tomorrow, ugh! I really HATE that white stuff...so freaking messy. At least I don't have to go far in it. Anyway...hope everyone is enjoying the rest of the weekend! Later

Lazy, lazy week-end here. I think we all just badly needed the rest and to de-stress. :) It is way too cold to be out running about, and mom is in no shape, so we just hung out here. I watched some Lifetime movies and read.

Made homemade chicken soup yesterday and it was very yummy. Today my step-son brought over a crock pot full of food for dinner. I made biscuits and we all enjoyed. :) Nothing like not having to cook.

Taking mom to her Family Dr. tomorrow for a follow up and to the surgeon next week. She is doing well, but still so run down. I know it is going to take awhile for her to get strong. She is having no pain except at the actual site of surgery..so that is great. She is doing a few easy exercises and trying to walk back and forth in the house. (instructions from therapist)

I have so much I want to do..so many places I want to go this week, but don't know if I will get out. Going to Target to pick up my Kindle, going to pick out a new stove and tah dah...to pick out an anniversary ring from DH. Sooo...I want it ALL ASAP, but my DD is ill and can't come sit with mom. Maybe by Wed. or Thurs.

Hope you all had a great week-end and also a good week ahead.

doing my daily pop in.......

we went and did some more grocery shopping today.....got some more cupboard stuff and some other things that we needed to get.

Francie~ I agree.....it is ALWAYS nicer to hear things that like from someone other than your spouse! It just makes you feel like you are still appealing to other people.......besides your spouse more or less has to stay stuff like that just so you won't get mad at them!

Cristina~ I told you I was going to send you the snow! LOL Yay on Cambrie's team winning!!!!!

Sue~ That is great to hear about your mom! And I love the idea of not having to cook......but in our house that usually means either Tommy is cooking or we are eating out! I hope that you are able to get out and get your shopping done soon!

Last week went well - now it's onto the new week! And we might have a snow storm, which has my kids all excited. Me - not so much. Most of the time the storms hit the Gorge, and poop out befor they get to us.

I was down a pound on my Saturday weigh in..and I made all my exercise goals for the week - new year is off to a decent start. If anyone is looking for online food tracking with the social component, I am on Daily plate. It's on Lance armstrong's site livestrongdotcom. It looks like you can friend people and see their food and exercise activity yada yada. I believe you can find me by my name or if not, try my user name which is dltrkr.

Not a biggie...only if you are already "in the market" as it were. I don't want to post my food and exercise on FB, but wouldn't mind a small circle of friends on this site..

Have a great day everyone!

Hello all...

Well, WI was this morning... So...WI was 194.6...just so lazy and don't want to even bother with it anymore.


KATY...I will definitely check the site out later this evening. I HAVE to do something to get back on track. Woohoo on the pound!

MINDEE...I am mad at you, lol. Kidding of course. The snow is so pretty but terrible to get out in. I don't understand the stupid people driving. So what you have a Tahoe, doesn't mean you can drive like an arse and unsafe! Drive way too fast in this stuff.

FRANCIE...you and Mindee are right, it is always nice to hear that from others. Even though I never believe anyone, lol. I don't take compliments well. Glad you guys had a nice time in Vegas!

JULES...how are those grandbabies? Are you gearing up for #3? Hope you get your girl this time, I think that is just what little Ashton and Dom needs, a little girl!

SUSAN...where are ya missy? You can't post and run, we will come hunt you down, lol. Hoping work is better for ya!

SUE...that is what I did yesterday, a whole lot of nothing! Didn't cook either although...a big pot of chili or stew would have been great for this cold weather. Glad you mom is feeling better. :hug:

HIYA KATHY...hoping all is well with you and yours.

Okay, guess I am going to go get my FB fix and then go read some, if I can stay awake. I was on for a couple of minutes earlier and then took Lily to SesameStreetdotorg...she LOVED it...went crazy with Big Bird! Thank you Kathy for the site!

Have a good evening ladies!

My WI was the same...oh well, not down, but at least it is not UP either. I have been back to the weights and some indoor walking. Food could be better...and I am trying.

Have had a "bug" going through the family..today mom had it. It lasts about 12 hours. Poor Mason had it last week and I guess he wasn't over it when daughter had him over here last week, although he seemed fine. Daughter was sick yesterday, then mom today. Hope it ends there. Oops, just found out granddaughter is sick tonight. Darn it.

Still shooting for that shopping trip this week.....I really want to pick out a lovely anniversary ring. And I am extremely anxious for the Kindle. :)

Planning more exercise for tomorrow....will see what happens.

Jules~ (in response to your thursday Grey's Anantomy post on FB) I heard a rumor that Mer & Der were going to be leaving the show. How can you have a Grey's Anatomy, without the main Grey?? I'm with you about McDreamy. He looks like McTired now. McSteamy doesn't look so steamy anymore either.

Cristina~ I need to stop eating after 8 too. I'm just never hungry until later at night. My entire schedule is all messed up.

Sue~ What kind of ring are you getting???

Katy~ I didn't know you could add friends on thedailyplate. Or did I? I cant remember now, lol!!

Mindee~ I never believe it when Fonzo says I'm pretty or looking good. If I know I look good that day, then I'll believe him. But I usually feel like I look crappy, lol!! Although, my hair has been coming out better than ever lately. LoL!!


Nothing new with me. We went grocery shopping finally. We shop at Whole Foods now, so all the food is organic. The fruit tastes so much better, I love it!! Same with the meat! It's all free range and doesn't have all that crap in it. I'm very proud of myself though. I checked all the labels before adding it to my cart. :) I'm going to clean tomorrow & move some furniture around. Hopefully I can get enough space to play with the Kinnect. I really want to buy Zumba!! I keep hearing great things about it. Several of the gyms here are teaching it!! So now I want to join a gym & take a class. I love to dance!! Has anyone tried it yet??

this year is off to a great start! My first WI of the new year, and I am down 1.4 pounds!!!

I do have to say that I am down to drinking one pop a day......and even then I usually don't finish it all! I am also watching more closely what I am eating....and I have found a new love......pretzel crisps!

Katy~ It is good to hear from you and good luck if you guys get the snow! I know how my kids are with snow days.....so good luck!

Cristina~ :P It seems like all the dummies come out of the woodwork when it snows or rains! It's like they have never driven in the stuff before!

Sue~ Great job on the WI! Any week without a gain is awesome! I hope you are able to get your shopping trip done!

Francie~ I am the same way! If I don't think I am up to par that day and I hear that I look beautiful, I don't believe. Our friend that watches the kids for us, even tells me that I look pretty when I get my hair and makeup done.....otherwise I look like a ragbag. And since I never really learned how to put on makeup when I was in high school, I usually never wear any.....unless our friend does it for me! Same thing with my hair.

Back again...



FRANCIE...daughter kept talking about going to Whole Foods but we have yet to make it there. Not sure we can afford it though, which is sad. But I will definitely check it out-soon! Something HAS to change or I am just going to keep getting bigger! Good for you too for being a smart shopper! I've not tried the Zumba but have a friend who took/takes the class and she loves it! Keep seeing it on tv and I too am wanting to do it! I love to dance! Can't dance for nothing but I still love to dance, lmao.

MINDEE...yeah, I swer, never fails...the worse the weather the worse the drivers. You would think they would learn. WTG on the pound missy! :carrot: I do the same thing. I never was a makeup person and one day in Jr High my sisters took me to the bathroom and said "You need to start wearing makeup" I said "Why?" And so I did but a downed version of their hooker style make-over, lol. I always joke about looking like a bag lady! I think we ALL should take time and fix ourselves up, at least once in a while...makes me feel good about myself when I do.

MS SASSY...I am so sorry I forgot to say HI to you earlier! :( I knew I was forgetting someone. :hug: Hoping all is well with you and the hubby. How's the job situation, has he decided on something and did you get a call back?

SUE...I see the kindles and the Nook I think it is called, I told daughter I am all for technology but I will never get one. I like having a book to read and having books on the shelf. I won't even get one of those fancy phones...don't see a point. I have a computer so don't need it on my phone. Guess I just like the simples things. Hope everyone feels better soon!

Good morning...The snow is falling quite heavily here. DH has already shoveled the drive and walk so the nurse and therapist could get in. Trouble is it is still falling, so he said he will go out and do it again later. He likes to do it in shifts. :) If we get 6 or 8 inches it is too heavy to move all at once, so while the neighbors are out trying to move that, DH can just push the inch or two around that fell after his was cleaned the first time. Personally, I would wait until it is done and call our builder who moves it off with a plow...lol.
Nothing planned here...will wait for the weather to clear before we do anything. :( I guess I "might" clean house.

Cristina- I also resist technology to some extent. I could have had the Kindle last year, but insisted I love my books. I love the feel of books and the smell of books...I love the library. But, after running out of reading material on our last trip and both times mom was in the hospital I decided a Kindle would be excellent for those times. Not to mention all the trips to the Dr. when I carry a big hardback book..ugh. So, I am giving in. And now I am actually excited to get it. I don't even have a cell phone for regular use. We have a prepaid one in the car for emergencies. That is it. Daughter had a new Smartphone and I am tempted. LOL

Francie- I am going to get an anniversary/eternity ring I think..although we also like the "past, present, future" rings which have 3 diamonds. I have to go look and try to find something that works well with my bridal set. I am excited. I am not a big jewelry person...but like something new once in awhile.

Mindee- Way to go on the loss. I am with you on the pretzel crisps. They are tasty. I have a hard time resisting potato chips if there are any around. Need to buy some more pretzels.

Okay...gotta run and talk to mom's therapist.

Almost said good morning, lol...Good Afternoon ladies!

SUE...yeah, that is perfect for going away and being in the hospital! Never thought about that. I too love having books!

MINDEE..totally missed that about the pretzel crisps...will have to try them. Didn't even know they had them! Lily likes pretzels too! So I see you guys are getting more of the white stuff. Have fun in it!

HELLO to everyone else :wave:


Anyway...need to get some laundry done, head over to Shutterfly and order the Christmas pictures and I am all caught up with that stuff...then do a dvd
Have a good one!

Mindee~ A good way to pick up makeup tips is by watching those makeover shows. I learn a lot of new ways to apply my makeup. Of course, those shows do not help me with my hair. I'm just stupid in that area. I just straighten it, and that's about it.

Cristina~ The food are Whole Foods isn't that expensive. We find that we're spending less there than at Safeway. I recommend the Kinnect..there are NO controllers. YOU are the controller!! And those dancing/exercising games look so much fun! We don't have any games for ours yet..just the sports one it came with. The Wii is still fun though. Just Dance 2 is soo my fave game. I haven't tried the Michael Jackson game yet. But it came with a studded glove, haha!! My only problem with those dance games..is that sometimes I add my own moves. I've been dancing to some of those songs on my own for a while now..so it's hard to follow the steps exactly. I always add a extra shimmy, or booty move. LoL!!

Sue~ Oh, the 3 stone rings are so beautiful!!! You MUST post pictures when you get it! I almost bought one for our anniversary..but we decided to wait until our 10th to get one. I bought a single diamond ring instead. The ones at Zales are gorgeous!!!

I need to start going to bed earlier. I had big plans to wake up early, eat a good breakfast, exercise, and clean. But none of that happened. I woke up at 3, had toast, and now I feel like eating a burger, and I didnt clean. I failed today.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm like this, because I HATE where I live. I feel like blah every single day. I hate this tiny apartment, this state, this depressing weather. When we were in Arizona, I actually lost weight. Fonzo lost weight too. It was so nice to be in the sun, even though it was kinda chilly. It was nice to be with friends & family. There is always something to do there..somewhere to go. With all that being said, I just want to say that we're moving back to AZ. I know I always said I'd never ever live there again..but it is home. The houses are all within our price range..the schools we want are there too. It's just a better choice for us. So ya..Fonzo is getting out of the Navy in 6 months. I just hope it goes by fast, lol!!

Um ya..I just found my lazy day song: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-lazy-...runo-mars.html

UGH!!!!! I hate neighbors! We had the cops here at dinner time, in fact I burned my sandwich because of it! Our stupid neighbor called the cops on us for disciplining our children! The cop came to the door and said that they got an "anonymous" call come in and that they just had to check it out. Funny thing about the "anonymous" call was that she had TOLD the office manager that she was going to call the cops if we got loud again. MIND YOU, it was dinner time! The noise ordinance law is ONLY to call the cops AFTER 10pm!

So, I called the office manager, and started chatting with her, then I handed the phone to Tommy and he was telling her what went on and all that. He told her that we refuse to walk on eggshells for this princess because she thinks the world revolves around her! The office manager said that she was going to talk to the owner's brother today, Wednesday, and figure out something that can be done.

We have already discussed that if we have to, we will break our lease, and Tommy has already said that he will drive the boys to their schools if he has to! This is pure BS!

Mindee~ OMG!! What an annoying little twit. I HATE annoying neighbors!! You should egg her front door.


I joined Weight Watchers!! I hope it helps. I'm confused about the point system. My friend explained it a little to me..but I'm still confused. LoL!! Oh well..I'll figure it out tomorrow (later today).

Francie Good luck with WW. My daughter works with someone who just lost almost 100 pounds on it. I am sure once you figure it out you will love it and do well.

Mindee How annoying. I get frustrated when the police force is used for this when they could be better used elsewhere. Dang...you guys have had a lot of ups and downs there. I hope you can get out this summer, or sooner. GL

Mother Nature does not want me to go shopping. We got at least 4 inches of snow yesterday, 1 1/2 and still falling this morning. Our street has not been cleared yet....
I am certainly not going out, which means I have been homebound since last Tues. except 1 quick trip to the bank Sat. UGH... I really wanted to go out to eat for a late WA lunch. :(

Oh well, may be the kick I need today to clean out some closets....I am bored.

Sue~ I started tracking today, and found it really easy to use, lol! I understand it now. We got maybe 2 inches of snow last night. It's not too bad. Fonzo said it's supposed to snow more next week. Snow makes me happy!! LoL!!

So I just found out that I lost 16 pounds!!!!! :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot: I think it's from my new medication. BUT I did lose 3 pounds at the end of December, before I started the new meds. Either way, I'm going to use this ego boost to help me keep losing!! :carrot: And I'm going to throw those cupcakes in the trash RIGHT NOW! :D

that's terrific, Francie! I just checked over at daily plate and you can add friends...looks like you need to know user names?


Mindee - oh poop, hope you can get a house soon and be done with stupid neighbors.

Hi Everyone else...I signed up for a 3 hour aerobathon this saturday at my gym...third year I've done it - woo hoo!

Gosh, you girls are busy posters!! I have a toothache so I am going to get some advil in me and go to bed!

doing my daily pop in!

Logan had his well child exam today! He is growing like he should.....the doctor said that if he keeps going on this path, he will be 5'7" by the time he is done growing! And here we thought he was going to be short, like me!

Francie~ That doesn't even begin to describe her, but I guess it is a clean start for posting on here anyways! That is great about your weight loss! Keep up the awesome work! Tommy was already thinking of ways to get even with her.....but if she wants to be childish, let her.....I refuse to be!

Sue~ Thanks for the good luck! That is exactly my thinking! The police have better things to spend their time on, then having to go to a door for a total of five minutes because someone can't act their age!

Katy~ That is my thinking! I have been dabbling at the reality site that I have been on before, and I will be hitting it hard core now!

Jules~ I hope your toothache goes away soon!

Hi Chicks! :wave:

Sorry I've been MIA. I got one of my wisdom teeth extracted on Monday so haven't really been feeling like getting on the net. Now you know I must have felt bad, huh?!! LOL.

It wasn't really that bad. They gave me a local, so yes I was awake, my MIL says I am more of a woman than she is cuz she couldn't stand to be awake during it, but it really wasn't that bad. But they did have a heck of a time getting it out. First it was a woman who tried and tried, had no luck. Then she got a guy who does a lot of wisdom teeth and he got it, but it was no easy task. He was working so hard that my head was moving back and forth!! lol. But he got it and that is all that matters to me! So I've been on pain meds and all. I try not to take them, during the day because they make me sleepy :yawn:

Anywho. I did not get the job I interviewed for. But it was nice of her to call me and tell me so I wasn't just hanging. Then I received another call from a different person, same co. for an interview that was supposed to be for today, but she cancelled, said she'd be in touch to reschedule. But found out that this lady that just called for an interview was not HR, she is the actual Hiring Manager for this position!! So that means either that HR lady who I interviewed with previously called her and told her about me, or she found my resume online herself. That is what happened to my DH when he got hired on. So it does happen. It kinda makes me feel special that the manager liked my resume enough to call me! ;) http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...pq19nwsro5.gif LOL!!

Inlaws are doing good so far. We go over as often as we can to help out since we are so close now. It is really nice that we're so close by.

As for WL, since my wisdom tooth extraction I really haven't been eating much at all. Heck that might be the answer! HA HA! So not too worried about WL right at this time. I have given up Caffeine once again. Have been having TERRIBLE headaches from it too. But I know its worth it to get off the stuff.

Well guess that is about it for me. I hope your all well!!

:hug:

Mindee~ When we lived in WA, our downstairs neighbors called the MPs on us once, and I really lost it!! Then another time, when we had family over & had just gotten back home..the husband came upstairs and told us we were scaring his wife. Well at first he was talking to Fonzo, and I yanked Fonzo inside, told that dude to F off, and slammed the door on his face. Then Fonzo told me the thing about us scaring his wife, and I was like "I'll give her something to be scared of" and I was seriously going to punch her face in. I didnt care if I was arrested or not. But Fonzo held me back. I think after that I went on Zoloft, LOL!! You just do not mess with a girl from West Phoenix!! I was going to get ghetto on her butt!! Taking the high road is probably a better thing to do..but you should come up with several ugly things to say to her, just in case. LoL!!

Sassy~ Your tooth story scares me. LoL!! I hate the dentist. You are a strong woman for being awake during that. I hope you get the job. That is pretty great that the manager called you!! I love your "I feel special" sticker, lol!! Do you think it's a scratch-n-sniff? I miss those!

I worked out a little bit last night. I did some cleaning, played The Michael Jackson Experience & Just Dance 2. With TMJE, I found it to be a little hard. Basically nobody can dance like MJ, unless you're Justin Timberlake, Usher or Chris Brown (ew). I did have fun dancing to Thriller & Smooth Criminal though. I like that you have the choice of being either a backup dancer, or MJ. For Thriller I danced as MJ, and he just wiggles too much for me, LOL! So for Smooth Criminal, I was a backup, which was so much easier. Just Dance 2 is still my fave dance game though. I love the Just Sweat feature. It tells you how many calories you're burning off. I danced to 4 songs, so I burned a lot. It even keeps track of much you're sweating per song, lol!! Kinda cool, kinda gross. Fonzo told me that we have Dance Central for Kinnect..so I'm going to look for that, and try it before dinner.

Today started off kinda bad. I set my alarm for 11am, but ended up turning it off. I woke up at 2:30 instead. Oh well, I was really sleepy. My cats were being so bad this morning, and kept waking me up. Then Fonzo came home and woke me up again. He is so NOISY!!! LoL!! For lunch, I ate plain yogurt with frozen blueberries & a slice of sourdough toast. The plain yogurt was gross!!!! I had to sprinkle some sugar in it, and it tasted a lot better. I think I'll just try the strawberry one tomorrow. I'm going to make spaghetti & meatballs for dinner. I'm a little worried about only eating a cup of spaghetti, I don't think that will be enough. But at least fruit doesn't cost any points. I'm going to have to start using a smaller plate from now on. The bigger plates always make me feel like I should be eating more.

Does anyone have a problem not feeling totally full? I just feel like if my stomach isn't bursting, then I'm not satisfied. I hope that goes away..

Okay...time to go looking for Dance Central. I hope the pile of junk doesn't swallow me. (I dunno why that made me think of the garbage pile from Fraggle Rock..or was it Sesame Street? Wow..I need to watch those shows again.)

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHH!

And here I thought the end of the drama was over on Monday night! Tommy came in this morning and the first things out of his mouth were "I am pissed.....and I am ready to move the he!! up out of here." Then he asked me if the office manager had called me and I said no......so then he went on to tell me that the office manager told him that supposedly our next door neighbor told the office manager that she got the police report (the anonymous caller police report) from Monday, and she has all this evidence about how we are verbally abusive and plain abusive to our kids. And that if she hears us being abusive to our kids again, she will call CPS on us. She told the office manager that she is going to write a letter to the owner and have them put it in our file and all this other bullcrap!

I then called the office manager after I talked to Tommy and wanted to see what she would say to me......she told me that she is just doing her job and can't get into the middle of it and blah blah blah. I then asked her when the next door neighbor's lease is up (because she had mentioned that she was going to move out when her lease was up).....she pulled this whole thing about how she can't tell me that.......so then I said "well then I guess we have no choice but to move out before our lease is up" and then hung up.

Sassy~ I know what you went through with the wisdom tooth extraction! I had one pulled, but I need to get the other three pulled plus a couple of other teeth and some other work! I know what you mean about the giving up caffeine as well. I am only down to one pop a day, and I actually look forward to when I can start drinking my water! Before I know it, I will be wanting the water all day and no pop!

Francie~ Trust me! We have said a lot of stuff about her, which I am sure that she has heard since I am sure she has her ear pressed to the wall all day waiting for us to say something!

I do have to add that if I don't lose any weight this week, I will be shocked! This lady has gotten us both so stressed out that, I can tell you that I know I haven't been eating like I should.

I am suppose to eat between 1980 to 2330 calories a day, and I have only managed to do that ONCE this week since I have been tracking my food!
