  • Hello

    After work, I went for my mamogram.I'll let you know when I get the results.I also went to see my Dr. and got my Estrogen Ring.I wonder why Wayne wants to help me put it in??!!

    Debbie,
    I'm so glad that your Mom is doing well!! She sure is a fighter! YES...I can't wait until School is out!!!!! Also...I'm really looking forward to Florida!!!!!!!!

    Gayle,
    That was too funny about the shirt Liz got you (HER)!! Kids are great,aren't they??!! LOL!! The ear rings were a nice gift.I just hope I'm not the one ending up paying for them! He has a new credit card and I hope he can keep the payments up.Don't they just love to issue them to college kids!? LOL

    Cheryl,
    I agree with everyone else.Apply for the job and see what happens then OR see how you FEEL then if you get it! I know you love him but I just don't want to see you "regretting" the situation later down the road.Good luck & please keep us updated!

    Shelley,
    Are you ok? I've noticed that you've only posted on the walking thread. What's up? I miss your posts here!!!

    Jennelle & Carol,
    Again......Congrats on the weight loss!!! I think we're all doing fantastic this time!!! WE ARE DA BOMB!!!

    Doni.......Ramona...........Titan (Dee)...........Jeanne........Where are you????? I sure miss you!!!!

    Dee,
    How's your Mom? I think about her a lot. She doesn't know me but give her a hug from me next time you see her.

    Vicki,
    I'm glad you're ok from the storms! Right when we think that they are all over with, they start up again!!!! How was your Mother's Day? What did you give MIL?

    Gotta clean the kitchen & iron.Talk to ya'll tomorrow!!!!

    BTW:Today is day 57 OP!!!!

    Hugs.............
  • Sherry - Thank you for the lovely banner!
  • YOU GIRLS ARE DOING FANTASTIC WITH THE WEIGHT LOSS!!!! You are "Da Bomb!!"

    Carol: Did you realize that you are averaging a 1/2 pound loss per day by the days that you have been OP? GREAT JOB and yes, we DID miss you!

    Deb: Glad Mom is back home and on the road to recovery. Enjoy your ime with her.

    Dee: When will the article about your basement be finished? Also, I have meant to ask, how's Jackie?

    Sher: I had a mental image for a moment of you, Wayne and the ring..... Did Wayne go ahead and help out??? LOL!!
    I dread the day that Liz gets a "real" credit card! She currently has her first one to a department store, the one she use to work at. That's how I am assuming I rated the sandals and shirt!

    Everyone is doing super staying OP! I guess we are riding the weight loss train to success!!
  • hello all!
    whew we had some high winds that knocked our power out 8xs
    yesterday.
    the last time it went out as survivor came on.
    i was sooo upset then i called mom and asked if shed tape it for me.
    the power was out till 11pm.
    it was nuts.
    of all the storms the wind knopcked the power out.

    carol-great job on the weight loss!
    keep up the great work!

    shelley-woho on getting back to goal.
    so glad the kids are back together.

    im going thru the change but doc wants me to stay on the pill.
    nice on the diamonds,
    youll wear em well.

    take care,
    doni
  • Sherry-Thanks for worrying about me--I'm fine. I've been using my spare time when I am not at work or running, to make beaded necklaces for my SIL. She has a business, and pays $1.25 per string of beads. My DD's and I have a bunch of them at home and are trying to make some extra money. I want to save for a new pair of running shoes.

    My mom took me shopping on Mother's Day and bought me 3 pairs of pants for my upcoming birthday. They are all 6's!! Not only that, they fit very loose!! I tried on 1 pair that was a little snugger than the rest, and discovered they were 4's!! It feels great to be back on track!!

    Congratulations to Carol, Debbie, Sherry, Jennelle, and everyone else that has managed to stay OP during these stressful times!!

    Gotta go do some beadwork before I leave for work!!
  • SHELLEY, CONGRATS ON MEETING GOAL!!!!!!!!!
    What knid of necklaces are you making? Do you use plastic or glass beads? I make bracelets and earrings in my spare time, which basically means that I get only a few done here and there.

    Doni: Glad to hear that you survived the wind. Sorry to hear you missed Surviver. I was to busy this go around, I never watched it. Although, I have been catching Mr. Personality.

    RAMONAAAAAAAAAAAAAA??? JEANNEEEEEEEEEEEE??? Are you two still around????
  • Wow!! I'm so proud of everyone's weight losses!! I lost 4 1/2 when I weighed in at my TOPS meeting last night. I guess hard work does pay off Now, if I could just keep that up!

    I spoke w/my fiance last night about the possibility of me getting a job and moving South. His first question was "Where is Lewisville?" His second question was "What kind of job would there be for me in Shreveport?" Then he made the comment "I bet they've got some good fishing holes down there." MEN.... Anyway, he told me that I do need to apply for the job (which I had decided to do, anyway), which was nice to hear from him. So I've got my papers together and am going to mail them tomorrow. Wish me luck, one way or the other! And thanks for all the input.

    Shelley--how long have you been a runner? I want to try, at some point, but I've got to lose some #s first!!

    Cheryl
  • CHERYL, YOU'RE DOING SUPER WITH THE WEIGHT LOSS!! CONGRATS!!!!

    Men, who can out guess them!! Happy to hear that he is receptive to the plan. It sounds like to me, that we can convince our men to do anything as long as a remote, an ol' fishin hole, a beer or getn' a little is involved!!!!
  • Do any of you guys use the self tanners? If so, what brand do you prefer?
  • Sherry wow diamond earrings from your son!!! Angel that is what you are! Do you think that ring Wayne wanted to help you with might be diamonds in disguise? I just want to tell you that I am really worried about your test results. I think about it often and I am hopeful everything will be fine. After what I have been through with Mom I don't want you to be sick too. You are one of my Best Friends! Last but least I have to say something about your weight loss. You are amazing! I have to get back at it, I haven't been making good food choices. That time of the month and it is driving me crazy this time with sweet cravings.

    Debbie My heart stopped there when you said about your Dad saying that you didn't' t have to go to the hospital. I am happy that your mother made it home for mother's day. Hey, staying the same on the scale is better than moving up! Who knows you may show a larger loss next week. Keep drinking that water, it really moves the scale down.

    Gayle cute T that you got for your birthday. Maybe you can tell Allison that you might borrow it sometime. Use it for a wet t-shirt contest. Thanks for asking about Jackie. She is slowly slipping a bit. The doctors have done all they can. She just had a Kat Scan and will get results next week. She went on a little trip for a few days. I hope that her tumor has shrunk from treatments.


    Shelley, hmm, making beaded necklaces in your spare time.....I like the idea of making Dez a few for her birthday. I have lots of different beads here. Could you tell me how you make them. Her 17th birthday is friday. That is nice that you bought you some pants for mother;s day/ birthday. Nice to be a small size. That was my size too before I gained this weight. Hopefully I will get there again.


    Ramona where are you??? Are things ok over there? How was your Mother's Day? Please post.

    Cheryl I am glad to hear that your fiancé says go for it. It is important to have support from your partner. Good luck on the job. What kind of job is it? You are doing great on the weight loss. Doesn't it make you feel more in control of your life?

    Carol I haven't forgotten you. I am so proud of you for staying on program. Way to go on the weight loss.

    Jennelle another loser in our mists! Great, keep it up!

    Doni that would suck to miss the last episode of Survivor! I am glad that your mom taped it for you. We just watched it monday night. Mother's day was to busy for us to watch it then. So I warned all my friends not to say anything. Didn't even turn tv on or radio. What do you think of Jenna winning?

    Vicki we have tornadoes around here too. Not to often but they are so scary! I just hate them. Glad that your family and home made it through.


    Our basement article was in the paper on sunday. I will post the link soon. I didn't like the photos this time but the story was good. Mom is doing ok. She will start her radiation next week. She has permanent damage to her valves of her leg from the blood clot. They are calling it 'anima' (spelling?) which means swelling. Her leg will flare up with swelling and she really hasn't been able to do much. She is stubborn enough to want the same size garden as always. She wasn't able to put it in so Larry and I plus my sister and husband planted it for her. I am not sure about the picking and weeding. Now when I say garden I don't mean a tiny one. She has a market garden where she sells veggies. Yeah, it is a big job.

    For mother's day I was spoiled like a "princess" Jay gave me that name awhile ago, when he was fighting with me. It just stuck. I got a hand crafted blue ceramic bird feeder from Dez. It is just hanging outside my pc window. I love to watch the birds. That is my 5th feeder. She also emailed me 13 cards. She was at work til 2:00 so she said that she wanted to have me feel her sprit and know that I was with her. And from Jay he gave me some eye cream. Larry told him to go to the drug store and buy the most expensive one...lol Yeah well when he found out the price he just laughed and of course bought a cheaper one. Larry bought me a dinner plate red dahlia which is 5 feet tall. A patio tomatoes which already has little tomatoes on it. He also bought me a beautiful planter with frogs, flowers and lady bugs on it. Of course he had to buy me something practical too, which was a medical dictionary. My dog Amigo bought me a vase and tulips with a card "I am sorry". He broke my favorite vase last week. It was one mom and dad ordered for each of us kids from mexico. It was blown glass with a heart and humming bird on it. It was for holding a single rose. I was pretty sad after he did that. Well now he is forgiven.

    Now that I rambled on I better go get some laundry done.
    Hope you all have a good one.
  • OK, this is the third time I have posted today and none of them went through. Maybe the third time will be the charm......

    Sherry, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I know everything will be OK. Let us know.

    Cheryl, good luck with the job. I hope everything works out. It sounds like the boyfriend is a keeper!!

    Dee, you ARE treated like a princess by your family. Wow, I didn't even get a card! hahaha

    All of you who posted your losses for the week...CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are all super duper in my book!!!

    OK, here is what has had me preoccupied for the last week. We are getting ready to make an offer on a new house. It is actually a new old house. It was built the year I was born(1959) by my grandfather for a local doctor. My hubby's grandfather did all the brick work and sidewalks and my uncle built the cabinetry. It was quite the showplace back in those days and is still in incredible condition! It has 3000 square feet which is double what I have now. There are huge closests all through the house which are cedar lined. It has a double fireplace....one in the den and one in the formal living room. It is a beautiful house. It is also across the street from our store, one block from church and one block from my favorite mexican restaurant.....what more could you ask for?????hahahah
    When it came on the market, my dad made an appointment for me to see it and encouraged us to make an offer. I think it holds a lot of sentimental value to him(and to me). We told him he should buy it but he says it's too late in life for them to try and move. ANYWAY, if it is meant to be, it will happen and if not, I'm still happy right where I am. BUT, if we do get it, SHERRY, WILL YOU COME CLEAN MY HOUSE SO I CAN SELL IT????????HAHAHAHA

    Better get to work now......more later
    Ramona
  • Ramona, best wishes to you that the house deal go's through! It sounds just lovely, plus as you said, it holds so much sentimental value. I have a friend who makes it a hobby to purchase a house, fix it up, then resell. One of her "helpful hints" for selling is to either make a pie in the oven or have some cookie/baking scent going on in a simmer pot. When the prospective buyers walk in, right away they feel at home. If you convince Sher to come clean your house, push her on up this way...not selling mine, but it needs a good scrubbing!

    Dee: Ditto what Ramona said! Your family treats you so well! Guess I should start calling you "Farmer Dee" since you will be gardening all Summer!
  • Wow-Everyone has so much to say, but I don't have much time. To everyone that asked, the beads my SIL gets are sterling and also gemstones, onyx, etc. The ones I am making right now are onyx and the beads are very tiny. It takes me forever to make one because I have a hard time seeing the hole even with my glasses!!

    Dee- You are a princess and you know it!! I can't wait to meet you in person, along with all my other Floozie friends. You all have become my circle of very, very close friends!!

    Ramona-I am sending luck your way. It would be wonderful if they take your offer.

    Cheryl-I've been running for 3 or 4 years now. I love it, and when I started I couldn't even go for 1 minute without getting out of breath!! BTW, who can guess what men will do or say at any minute?? You gotta love em', though!!

    Talk to everyone later!
  • Howdy

    I hope that everyone had a great OP day!! I love to come home after a long, hard day at work to find so many posts!!

    I don't have time to post to everyone tonight but did want to make a couple.

    Ramona,
    The description of the house is UNREAL!! I hope that everything will work out so you'll be able to buy it.It sure sounds like my kinda house!! Does it have beautiful hardwood floors? I do have a question: You said that your Grandfather, Uncle & your hubby's Grandfather built the house.So does this mean that you & hubby and your families knew one another and ya'll grew up together? If so, that is so cool!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

    Dee,
    You are such a sweet person!! It means so much to me to know that you worry about me! I know that I'll be ok. When you hear the Dr. say "lump" you automactially panic! I guess that's normal.It's probably a cyst and everything will be fine.I just know it! Thanks hon!! About your house: Please post the article soon.I'm about to die to see it! On what I've seen so far, I love your house!! If I had the money to fly there, believe me, I'd be there! Thanks again for being a great friend! Luv Ya!!

    To All My Floozie Friends: Be good, Be Careful & Stay OP!! Love you all!!!! Will post again Tomorrow!!

    Hugs......
  • Ramona the house sounds wonderful I love old houses, they have so much more character, and this one so much history and sentiment. I really hope that things will work out for you. Maybe that is why you didn't move out to the lake. So close to work too. When will you decide if you will put an offer on it?

    Sherry always know that I often think of you especially if something is troubling you.
