Home of the Loozing Floozies.....(#82)
 

Hey Sher, did you read my last question to you about the murder rate in Nashville? Can that be correct? Sure sounds like alot!!!!

Hey all!
I'm having a pretty laid back morning. My kids spent the night at a friends' house so dh and I actually got to sleep in until 9! Quite a novelty around here. We went to dinner last night and then saw "The Gangs of New York". Wow, it was very intense and too violent for my taste--although I can see why Daniel Day-Lewis is a front runner for an Oscar nomination.

Anyone have special plans for the weekend? We were camping at the beach last weekend so we are just hanging out and getting stuff done. I plan on getting some walking in and keeping my food intake in line since I did a bit of over indulging last night.
:ink:

My special plans this weekend are cleaning, getting back OP, and running!!

Nice to hear from you doni!!!!!

What would you like to bring to Dee's cyber B-day party???????

Howdy :wave:

Well we STILL have lots of snow!! Our street hasn't cleared up at all!! But the main streets have. We lost power last night for about 3 hours!! They said it was a power box down the street that went out!! Talk about being COLD AND spending 3 hours in the dark with hubby!! :lol:

Gayle*** To answer your question (I'm sorry!) No....I didn't know that Nashville has that many murder cases!! Maybe it was the whole state of TN and not just Nashville.Hmmm...didnt know that it was so high!!

I'm not to to address everyone on this post because I've got something to tell you!!

Jennelle.......Thanks for the email! This is why I wanted to know:

Wayne has been offered a job in Mississippi.Right outside the TN, Memphis line.It's about 4 to 4 1/2 hours from here.If he takes the job, his income would be doubled on what he's making now. After talking, talking & talking about this, We have decided that if he gets the job, HE would go there and work Mon.-Fri. and I would stay here with Drew (Also, Chris & Zach aren't too far from here in College). Wayne would come home on Friday nights and stay until Sunday afternoon then go back.We will try this until School is out.If it doesn't work out OR if we can't stand being apart then when School is out, We will find a house there and move.All of our family & friends are here in TN so we're going to try to make it work with him being there through the week. It's really no difference then what truck drivers do.Right?

I WILL let ya'll know if he accepts the job and what happens.If it's meant to be, then it will all work out.

Debbie,
Thanks for being a great best friend and talking to me about this move change.You are the main reason why I didn't want to move.Well...you & my parents! Thanks for being there for me...as always. :angel:

Ok....gonna try to go to store.IF I can get my car off my road! I'm sooo bad at driving in this sh**!!!!! :lol:

More later..........Have a great OP day!!!! TITANS & Raiders play today at 4:30!!!! GO TITANSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Love to all........
Sherry (Sher-Bear)

Hey Sherry -

Depending on where in Nashville you live and where Wayne will be working, it might be faster for Wayne to drive down 65 (or is it 75?) to Chattanooga and cut over on US-72. The drive isn't so bad.

PM me if you need me to send apartment guides, etc.

I actually had an OP day Saturday!! Just had to pop in to say that!!
Sherry-Sounds exciting for you and Wayne!! I hope everything works out for you!

Sher: So how did you guys "generate" heat with the electricity out????????? :lol:
Good luck on the job decision!!!! I am sure as you said: If it's meant to be, then it will work out. Probably 4-5 hours away isn't that bad after you get use to it. We too have had chances to move, but it's hard when you have elderly and ailing parents.

Shelley: GLAD TO HEAR YOU HAD AN OP DAY!!!!!!!!! You are doing great!!!! At least when you over eat you still exercise....with me,its all or nothing!

Deb: I have you down for the hot tub & a snowman for the party!!!! We better not let the snowman get to close to the hot tub, we will melt his icecicle (sp) off!!!!!

Doni: How long have you home schooled? Do you need to be certified? If so, how do you go about getting certified. It seems that home schooling is very popular in the larger cities.

Well, busy weekend, playing catchup and trying to mark more things off of my list!!!!!

Well our poor Titans lost :cry: :cry: But it was great that they made it this far!! As for superbowl.....I'm for TAMPA BAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just saw on TV that daily hula-hooping and doing the hokie-pokie will make you lose 2-5 lbs. per week!!!! Hmmmmmmm....interesting!!!

More tomorrow!
Goodnight....Sleep tight!!
Sherry (Sher-Bear)

Shelley.........WTG on staying OP!!!!! :cp: I hope the snow leaves soon or.....I'll weigh 300lbs!!!!!!!

Dee...........When do you come home????????? I miss you!!!!!!!!!! :grouphug:

Way to GO TAMPA BAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry TITANS i was pulling for ya...

sorry Sherry your team gave a good effort...

I am hang in there everyone...Thank you for your support

I know nothing about football, but WTG Bucs!!! My family are all Buc fans, since some of them live in Tampa.

I had another OP day!!:dance:

Okay, lets see--Gayle is bringing the guys, I'm bringing the drinks, Sherry has the hot tub and snowmen--have I missed anyone?? Who is bringing the dessert??? And who is bringing the other food?? I can't remember if someone already said they would. How about the music?? I was downloading a new disc all day yesterday to jog to, but it is all oldies, and I don't think all of you like oldies, since some of you are youngsters!!!!

Give me an oldie any day compared to some of this stuff thats playing on the radio!!!!!!
I vote for playing: "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to".... :stress:

Okay Shelley, here's my list:
Shelley: BOOZE
Deb: Hot tub & Snowman
Lisa: veggie tray, peppermint schnapps
Sherry: "HOT DAMN" & $1.00's for the dancers
Jeanne: hula entertainment & the ukelele
Me: Balloons & strippers

That leaves: Vicki, Doni, Jennelle & Carol to still pick something out. I hope I didn't skip anyone.

Oh I forgot!!!!! We need the birthday girl!!!!!!!!!! If we can drag her back from the beach!

I'll bring the margarita mix, the daquiri mix, and the blender. :hat:

Debbie,

Oh bless your heart! You sound like you need a big 'ole hug!! :grouphug:

I'm sorry to hear that you & James are sick again.Maybe the shot & meds that you got today will help this time! Yes...You may need to move to the guest room so ya'll will stop spreading germs to one another!!! :lol:

With all the snow we've had and being closed indoors for 4 days, No wonder why you have been pigging out!! But you know what Debbie? Tomorrow we go back to School, the snow is almost gone AND it will be a NEW DAY!!!!! :) You have done so good in the past by staying OP and loosing......YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN!!! Look how much you have lost to get to where you are now!! So I know you can do it!!!

Read this post over & over until it sinks in!!! TOMMORROW YOU WILL GET OP & START BACK AT CURVES!!!!!!!!! By this time next week, you'll be happy & smiling again!! :D

Don't give up and remember..........we're all here for you!!!
Now I'm going to re-read what I posted to YOU and get back OP myself!!!!!!!!!!

Love you!!
Sher

P.S. Are you smiling now??????? :p

HERE! HERE!!! I second what Sher just said!!!!!

Well, I didn't have an OP day yesterday but still when I made choices they weren't the worst ones I could make. Unfortunately, I went to check out the points values of a restaurant I ate at last night and no such luck on the Dottie's site. Darn it! :dz: I guess I'll have to check out their web site. Does anyone know of Buffalo Wild Wings? It was ok, but there's a place back in Indiana we used to eat at that is way better!

Gee how come no one else is going to root for the Raiders? I was born in the SF bay area so they're the team I'm going for!!!! Woohoo yay.

I've been doing so good on my exercise lately.... I wonder what is wrong with me!!! I had to drive the little one to school because we took the kindergarten class guinea pig home with us on Friday to clean his cage and let him have some family time. We do that a lot .... Fuzzy is quite a guest and when he stays with us he always sleeps! The teacher says it's becuase it's so quiet at my house.... Yeah right! But compared to the classroom I suppose she's right. Also he and our dog have grown quite fond of each other. Anyways, back to the subject, I actually stopped at the gym and worked out for 45 minutes! It's weird, I'm getting back into liking my exercise, yikes.

Sherry congrats to your dh about his job. I've been married to an OTR truck driver and am used to having him gone during the week home on weekends. It does take adjustment but it's not too hard.

Glad to see everyone is well. I'm working these next two days... hopefully it's not too bad.

Lisa - I rooted for the Raiders! I grew up in the SF bay area, so when the Niners got knocked out of contention, I had to root for the Raiders.

Janelle,
Where did you grow up? I grew up in the East Bay.... went to school in Hayward, lived in Union City and my dad lived in Fremont. We were just home in September altho my dad and step-mom sold the house I grew up in to live closer to her daughters. But that's ok because I can't help out when there's health problems like they can.

:balloons:

Lisa - I grew up in Sonoma. I lived there for a year when I was three, then my step dad got stationed in Panama. We moved back Stateside in December of 1976, when I was in the third grade. The stay in Sonoma was supposed to be temporary, but my parents ended up getting divorced and we stayed to be near the grandparents.

Hi everyone,
I guess I'm the lone Raiders fan here! Not all Raiders fans are horrible (although I must admit that when we went to some games when they were still in L.A. it was pretty crazy. There were always fights breaking out in the cheap seats). Hopefully it will be a good Super Bowl with the best offensive and best defensive teams in the NFL playing against each other.

I had a rough weekend...too much eating and no exercise. We saw "Kangaroo Jack"..super corny but great for the kids. I planned to work out on Monday since it was a holiday but when I woke up, I had pulled a muscle in my back and it was in spasm mode all day. I was basically flat on my back. The kids loved it because they had a lazy day too---computer games and cartoons. This gave me a chance to catch up on tv...MTV Cribs marathon (I love checking out the houses), Joe Millionaire, The King of Queens, the news, Jay Leno, etc. When I finally was able to fall asleep, my son woke me up 15 minutes later to say he had a bad dream...Yikes! I was up for the next 3 hours. I finally went to a chiropracter this a.m. and he gave me the full treatment, but I'm still sore. I go for a follow up tomorrow.
Take care everyone. Thanks again for all the welcomes.
P.S. I'm assuming OP means "on program", right?
