I'm popping through while in the process of writing a paper for a class. Thankfully I graduate May 9th, so the end is in sight. This semester I have two nursing courses, 270 hours of clinical (in the emergency dept !), a psych course, an anatomy course, plus work. I don't have a life. *lol*
On the plus side though, I joined one of those 30 min cross training gyms with my youngest and we are doing well with it. I lost 2 lbs last week. *doing the happy dance*
I also have other news--I met someone! Someone who likes me just the way I am, extra weight and all, and who seems to share many of my core beliefs. If things continue to blossom, I may just have found a keeper. *gete* The very interesting thing is that I decided to relocate to Nova Scotia about two years ago, and he lives in New Brunswick, a short 2.5 hour ferry ride across the Bay of Fundy from the area I want to settle in. He's self employed and actually amenable to move to NS with me, should things work out. I'm excited, but also definitely afraid of getting hurt. He is definitely ready to settle down though, so I need not worry about the commitmentphobic blues. I can't move for a bit over two years due to a work commitment, but that just gives us plenty of time to get to know each other.
For the acronym impaired (this means YOU Susan, lol) Kat's *gete* means "grinning ear to ear" ...
Marti - just wait til Jhanai's in Jr. High. Just about everything you do will embarrass her. But then they get over it around.... age 22, lol. I missed Shanna's picture but I'll check it out in a few minutes.
Kat - Yay on your weight loss. Also, I am so very happy for you in the romance department. I was overweight when Neal and I met, too, but he always picked women with "a little meat on their bones". Being in love is wonderful, isn't it? How are the kids accepting him? What quality about him do you like best?
Hi to the others.
I'm going grocery shopping today after I get next week's menus planned out. I've been looking around for point-friendly recipes to try. Susan - I forgot about the casserole recipe, but will try to post it later.
Katie is off with the Junior class on a field trip to Indianapolis. They are going to a theatre to see "Cats" - something tells me it won't be the NYC cast, lol.
Memories...alone in the moonlight..... *sigh I loved CATS
Saturday Monte and I are going to The Black Coalialition Gospel Choir. Im in the second row...*GETE Hopefully no one has a spitting problem...lol
Next Saturday the girls and I are going to Dessert Caberat.

Kat,,,you are still living in Nova Scotia? Where bouts? The snow fall was brutal over there I saw. Admit I was waiting for it to head this way but so far so good. Thats great about meeting someone...*smile
Marti, Tanner is the one that is way up almost hidden behind someone,,,he has dark hair. Dirty face...lol We were given a disc of pictures of the whole play...you think I can get them on here to post? Nope...says there are too big.
I have a lunch date with my friend AGAIN...lol we miscommunicated. Then I need to lazer print Tanners pics so I can send them to Jan. Im thinking of going to apply at Winners...awesome clothing place...Brand names,,with low prices or some kinda slogan like that. And the nicknacks are fantastic...*breathing heavy,,,I haven't been shopping in so long,,,going through withdrawls...*help me I used to buy an outfit every week or so....and in the last 25 days I have only bought 1 shirt.
I watched Sharon yesterday for a whole 5 minutes...some chick on there has this need to buy every SINGLE day and is like 20 thou in dept and has moved back home and pays NO rent...and is still shopping...like can you say *DUH? I am not as bad as that.... (Im not really...really)
Last nights rehearsal was pretty good,,,I have a couple of very talented people...and a couple of what were they thinking people...
Ok I am watching way too much TV...did anyone watch my Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance? I loved the ending...
Oprah was good too,,,love them house makeovers. Dr. Phil was mouth dropping...What is that husband on? I would of booted her to the curb. Getting pregnant and sending the kids away and not getting a job.
Ok yes I need to get a life...but I was deprived of TV for so long....(like that word eh? Deprived..lol)
Ok I need to get going...talk at you all later...
Angie

Thanks Jana for the glider and acronym explanation, you are so sweet. At least you didn't say I was sexually impaired...lol
I did put a little butter on my pancake yesterday, was soooooo good. I did skip the syrup, so felt good about that.
Ok, Ang. I am close to tears!! I have mentioned Home Depot TWICE and you haven't said anything about it!! I was trying to be helpful and everything....*sniff, *sniff.......
OMG!!!! I went over the Burnside bridge last night and thought of you! The bridge that we found that awesome skating park underneath.....NOT, and the bridge we sat on to watch the parade!
OMG!!!! I went to Goodwill yesterday and found the Dr.Phil book!!!!! Yahoooo. $26.99 in the stores and I bought it for $2.99!!! I read his 7 steps this morning. I *think* it is a good book , would recommend it as good reading.
Happy Birthday to Kayecee's father!!! How old was he? My dad is 74, he is a sweetie.
Marti...........so , are you still pondering?? I get my taxes next week, I will certainly go out and buy you some walking shoes little missy!!!!lol........I wanna see you and Shanna out there walking.If I have to brave the Oregon weather so can you!! Misery LOVES company , ya know??? lol
Hi Cristi, Kat, Katie.....Shanna. Was it Cristi getting highlights today?? Or was that Kayecee??Anyway, hope it turns out great!! Would love to do that myself but always scared they won't do it right and ruin my hair.
Had 2 scrambled eggs and a half slice of wheat toast/buttered for breakfast.
Not much going on with me today. Ventured out to Wally-World this morning and bought groceries-finally! Haven't gotten much done around the house. Going to do a lighthouse border in the boys bathroom later, won't take but about 30 minutes. I love the blue in there and the border matches perfect. I thought since it is the boys bathroom, but the main one I would do something not so frilly-nix the flowers. Working on getting laundry done, only have two loads thank goodness. Going to also hang some pictures and get my room finished, as far as putting things away. I have been taking it easy. I am hoping to have things half-way organized by the weekend. Of course that's not going to happen being on the 'puter.
Angie~I did watch the Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance the other night, the ending brought tears to my eyes. I am glad everything worked out. I also have been watching Dr. Phil as he follows this family. I can't believe the woman is pregnant AGAIN! And that her hubby has put up with all that. I don't think she thinks she is the *one* with the problem. She keeps defending her actions to Dr. Phil. I don't think she gets it, and I honestly don't see why her husband doesn't leave. Crazy It's really sad though, especially since there are kids involved. Have a GREAT lunch with your friend today.
Jana~thanks for clearing that one (gete) up, I didn't know what that one was. I haven't seen it before till now. Well, I bought the foods I need to get me started on the FT. I have a question for ya, what kind of crackers and granola bars do you buy? Didn't know if there was a certain brand I should have gotten or just whatever I wanted that is healthy.
Susan~I have the Dr. Phil book and have been rereading it, when I can of course. I don't think I fully comprehended everything the first time. I also made notes in it, and answered the questions in it, plus highlighted things that I thought were beneficial to me so I could refer back to it. I really like it though.
Kayecee~how was your day of pampering yesterday? Hope you had a nice time.
Kat~nice to hear from you and on your weight loss! WTG And a new romance to boot! Best wishes with your new beau.
Hi Shanna, Katie & Marti
Well ladies I best be gettin' outta here. I have tons to do, just don't want to do it! Have a great day ladies. TTFN
Just checking back to see how everyone's day has been. DH is working late, nothing on the tube and I am a little bored. Trying to find something interesting on the 'puter. Just about finished my bedroom, didn't get to the border but I did finish my laundry. Oh what a boring life I lead. I guess I will see you ladies tomorrow. Take care and have a good night.
I can't move for a bit over two years due to a work commitment, but that just gives us plenty of time to get to know each other.
