Hi ladies,

Cristi - did you get your MRI results yet? Glad the pap was fine - at least I guess it was, or you would've said so. The movie Something's Got to Give was... not bad. It had it's funny moments, and I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think I would bother watching it again. I am a big fan of Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton and Keanue Reeves, though, so that made it better. Btw, I guess the peasant tops were popular in the 70's, not the 60's. I wish I had saved some of my stuff for Katie. She loves vintage clothes.

Susan - OMG!!! Alex is a hottie!! And his kids are cute, too. Were they skiing? You guys will make an adorable couple. Also, you gotta know we don't care how much you talk about Alex! That's what this board is for - to talk about the important things in our lives. Btw, it's so sweet that he chopped and cooked on the road for his kids. Are you getting really nervous? I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Check in before you leave, if you have time.

Marti - well, Missy, you sure had the giggles last night, lol. Dentists? I use to hate going, then I found a real gentle one, and go every 6 months to get my teeth cleaned. He has filled cavities, etc, and is a sweetie and doesn't make any sudden moves on me, lol. Let's all sing now - I Want a Man (dentist) With A Slow Hand, lol!!

Katie - hope your migraine is all gone and that you had a good time today with your son. I can see how my signature would confuse a person, lol. Sorry about that! But I do feel better including all the pounds I've lost from my highest weight. I took quite a few tops and pants out of the closet recently that are too big and will pass them on to someone else. That felt so good to do!

Yes, usually I'm the early bird here, but have a cold and achy joints. Yuk. I just got over being down and out with a bad back, now this. I've got medicine head now. I have to tell you, though, I caught the cold from my littlest grandbaby, so it's okay.

I have done real well with FT this week, and will be glad to get back to regular WW tomorrow. I'll be back in the AM with the weight loss report.

Be good,
Jana

Evening ladies--

Typical Oregon weather we got going on here...sun, then rain, sun, then rain, sun....and now it's just raining. :dizzy:

Katie--Glad to hear from you. Always good to catch up with the ones that don't post as often. I hope your son didn't exhaust ya during all is stops he wanted to make! :D You say he's on leave, is he in the military? I'm glad you're getting some time with him. Always nice to be with family you don't see much.

Cristi--Don't you think that the results should be automatic? Nothing like waiting around by the phone to hear from the doctor! I hope they have good news for you. As for laundry....I'm needing to do a load myself so thank you for reminding me!

Susan--I got the picture of Alex...very handsome man. I can understand why you are so worried about what to wear!! And his kids are adorable. Looks like a happy little family. You're going to have to post an extra long post tomorrow night or Sunday morning and tell us all about your first meeting with him.

Jana--I hope you start feeling better. Achey bones never feel good. I came home tired today. (and I was only at school for 2 hrs.) I had to go to Michaels today after school to see if they got their shipment in for the memory makers tool set....of coarse they didn't!! I have the rain check in my purse still though. I want to be able to use my eyelets I've bought!!

Scrapbooking has been slow for me. I see all these fantastic idea's and can't seem to come up with my own creative thoughts. So I'm going to have to start borrowing ideas. I tried working on a page today of Jhanai....I managed to get the mats all cut out and then stopped. I'm going to see my sister tomorrow and I plan on bringing my stuff and getting her to do some scrapbooking with me. :D

Well heck....I'm not full of anything interesting today so I suppose I will go for now.

Have a great night!!

Marti

Hi Jana-

Did I send you a picture?? lol I was having a horrible time on the computer at that library trying to attach Alex's picture- I know I was able to send it to Cristi & Marti and by the time I got to you I was out of puter minutes- though I tried to send it, I guess it went through??
duh- you got it somehow....lol
I thought he was handsome when I saw his picture for the first time on a Christian meeting site but didn't think he was really my type- never have been interested in Hispanic, even though I am half---just thought I would go against type, maybe get some luck in the process.So, I did writeto him and he was happy to get my response, someone close by--- in the same time zone and all........ He certainly has been very nice to me and respectful.I really have enjoyed getting to know him and not at all nervous for tomorrow's meeting,very excited and can't wait to get on the road!! Crank up the radio and cruz the HWY...lol.....
I told him he was a nice man and he joked back "oh, don't say that.....nice men never get the girl"....blah,blah...........
Weather might be light showers tomorrow , bought a smaller turtleneck so might wear that- and I guess we are going for the movie :).....and I bought some Altoids(sp) because we can always hope and if he wants to hold my hand , I won't protest----course, I should meet him first before I say all this.....lol.......

I hope you are feeling better Jana- and the grandbaby!!!

Hope all is well with Cristi :) Certainly do miss Angie :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: - hope she is ok........

I weighed today. I won't be able to get on tomorrow. I GAINED half a pound, I am 147.5--- oh hum---ain't sweating it......

I guess that is it. Will try to pop on before I end my shift tonight. Am calling Alex at 9:3PM to make sure we are on the same page. My mom is ending up watching Gabster after all.......yay- and Rachel is all ready for outdoor school- just need to run the car through the wash and clean the window closest to Gaby's seat.....lol - all sorts of smeared goodies on that window....lol

THANKS!!! Appreciate your support........he can turn out half of what I think he will be and still be great....:)

TTFN

Hi Marti-

Hope you guys down south have a good week- should see some sunbreaks.

Oh- ya.......he was skiing somewhere, though he doesn't do that often-

Sigh* ok.....wish someone was around to talk with!! I washed the darn car and washed the inside. Did a load of laundry.Taking Gabster and dropping her off at 9am at Grandma's.........90 minute drive to the capitol, suppose to meet at 11am- going to change it to 11:30 though and chaning the Olive Garden to a Shari's or a pancake house- I want eggs-...lol...he won't care- I know he likes me-....lol.....

OMG!! I get to call him in a second......

argh........wish you guys were around *sigh*.....

Hi ladies,

Marti - hope you have fun scrapbooking with your sister today. It is always more fun with 2, I think. I don't do very well coming up with new ideas, either, Marti. Never said I was creative, lol. The pages you've shown us are really good, though.

Susan - maybe the 1/2 pound is due to TOM? It's cool that there's an IHOP right next to the theater! Have fun today, and you know we want details when you get back!

Angie - where are you?? We miss you!!

Hi to all the others.

I am on Katie's computer cause mine doesn't want to cooperate today.
Yikes, I hope there's nothing majorly wrong this time.

Got on the scale - 3 1/4 more pounds gone for good!! I love WW!!!! I'm really glad to be back to regular WW today, though.

I feel so much better today and hope to get the house cleaned up. Everything is dusty, and every room needs swept. Plus I need to do a load of towels and the sheets. Today is a good day to hang out the sheets.

Be good,
Jana

Eeek!
 

I haven't even had time to log on and check up on everyone this week! So sorry girls, but if anyone has given birth or won the lottery or something else important.... congratulations! :D

It has been an absolute madhouse around here. We went to get our camper on Monday and I think I have been cleaning and buying stuff ever since. School has been nuts. The nurse has been sick, so I wound up doing crosswalk duty all week. Of course, I had a nice break yesterday- the kids that I deal with all went on a field trip so I did basically two things- diddly and squat! :lol:

My mom got a call at school yesterday. Her brother died. We have family coming in, so I probably won't get to check in much this weekend. The poor man has had a lot of health problems over the past few years. He had a kidney transplant and a lot of heart problems then. I know he is better off now, but it still doesn't make it easier on the family. His step-daughter had to check into the emergency room after he passed. Y'all really need to remember them if you don't mind- especially her- she blames God. :(

Well, I think I hear DH pulling in the drive. He took some eggs (we have chickens now) to the men's fellowship breakfast at church. I promise that I will try to check in later. Bye girls.

7:50 am

Hi,

So sorry about your uncle Kayecee, many warm thoughts and prayers to your family.
Happy to have you posting!!

CONGRATS Jana!!! That is a super weekly weight loss :) How are you feeling with the aches???? How is the grandbaby??

Got on the scale this morning and it was 146.5 ,,,,,yay.....down half a pound instead of the up half a pound-

Going to headover to my mothers slowly- can't be there til 9am- she wanted to get her laundry done before the Gabster arrived-

Been up since 4:30am - couldn't sleep- probably have 4 hours in-
Bought a small coffee- hope that doesn't get me tooooo jittery- the 20oz always does----

Already to go!!! YAY- pulled my hair back alittle- think it makes me look younger and lighter--lol.....I hope at least- really need a full length mirror-- kept hopping up and down on a chair in front of the medicine cabinet--

Purse is packed-- nifty little invention.....lol--

Excited :) talk at you tomorrow...............

AAAaaaaaaaanngie.......we miss you!!! :)

Susan~you sound so very excited, as you should be. I do hope you and Alex have a grand time. Thanks for the photo of him-yes-he is a hottie! :love: Okay, you have never been to a IHOP or to that IHOP?? The times DH and I have gone we try to order something other than breakfast but it never works. Their breakfast is so good, the omelettes and waffles. Now you know why I am fat!! Anyway, enjoy your day with Alex and yes, we want details!

Kayecee~nice to see you check in. Sorry to hear about your Uncle. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers, especially the step-sister. Her blaming God is a natural feeling when someone loses a loved one, in most people. We always think that if God really cared he wouldn't take them away. I speak from experience. I think it is just part of the grieving process (anger) and something she will come to terms with eventually. At least she is not blaming herself, like I did. I will keep her in my prayers as well as your whole family. :grouphug:

Jana, Jana, Jana~I am going to have to come and stay with you so you can keep me in line with this weight. WOW!! I am very proud of you. Another big loss-CONGRAT'S and :bravo: Keep it up and you will make goal in no time at all. :cp: :dancer: Hope you are feeling better today.

Marti~have fun with your sister today. I wish my sisters were close enough that we could get together, I miss that. And yes I do wish results were automatic.

Hi to everyone else, Angie, Katie, Kat, Shanna, Kathy, & Rita.

Well, I didn't hear anything about the MRI yesterday-bummer. I do hate waiting around. If I haven't heard anything by Monday afternoon I am going to call my doc and see if she will call in a prescription for some pain pills. The past week it has worsened and it is a pain, very bothersome. I would just like to have one day without the pain. Anyway, I hope they can do something for it/me. No plans for today, except to get the laundry folded and put away that I did yesterday. Do a little ironing, and need to vacuum, don't like light colored carpet, it shows everything and needs to be vacuumed every other day (not that I do it every other day). One day I would like to get some berber carpet-love it. It doesn't show footprints or little crumbs and such. DH has to work today so no yard work-I am getting antsy about getting that done. Once we do that I think we are going to stain the deck-just don't like the natural look. I weighed in this morning and not sure if I lost, gained or maintained.I know it is a lot lower than the docs scales-I almost died when I stepped on those scales, but then I remembered, I had breakfast, a large diet coke, a bottle of water and my clothes on! Actually, they were only 4 pounds more than what my scales say, so I guess that's not so bad. I am thinking my scales are fine because my clothes definitely weighed 2-3 pounds, right?? I had some khakis on, a t-shirt, a denim shirt (I was cold) and my jewelry. I decided to change my weigh in day to Saturday instead of Monday, seems to be a better day-I guess. If I am going to mess up I usually do it during the week so don't know which is a better day to weigh in. I think I am getting there though. I've got the vitamins, and water thing down. I have actually been drinking 3 bottles of water. Trying to work up to four. That's about all I have ladies. Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday and the sun is shining in your little corner of the world. :sunny: It is kind of cloudy here and windy as usual. Anyway, have a good one girls, I think I am going to go check the P.O. box and go for a walk at the park over there. BBL

Good morning.....

Hey Jana....FANTASTIC on the weightloss!!! Amazing.

I too changed my weigh in day (strange how we think alike on here!)...I weighed in this morning and I'm sitting nicely (do I want to consider it nice?) on 150 (again) but I'm in the middle of TOM and I always feel so bloated through out!! But I really want to work on getting at least 5lbs. off this month. So later on tonight I'm going to start my pilates again and once the weather dries up a bit I will grab my pedometer, MP3 Player and start walking. Gotta get this fat off somehow!!

Well ladies,,
I will do individuals later on today....I'm off to see my sister.

Marti
