Hey guys,
All is well here. I just got dh off to work and need to get doing the housework I've put off all day. I got the washer going...it's a start.

I hate it when I buy something too high tech for me. The kids tried to get me to buy a digital camera that was just above a kids toy. I realize now I should have listened..LOL. The camera is simple but the program for the computer is very confusing. They said they would figure it out and show me how to use it. Don't you hate it when that happens. :?:

Later my friends gotta clean :grouphug:

Good Morning Ladies....

What a beautiful weekend. Sunny, warm and took Ms. Bella for a walk. She was pooped when we got back and collapsed on the floor. Her short little legs got tired. Too Cute.

How is everyone doing? and where in the heck is everyone?

I have lost a total of 49 lbs so far. Today is six weeks and I go for my check up tomorrow. I am feeling better and better each day with just a few bathroom probs, but those are getting less and less also.

Have a marvelous day.

Annie

Hey Good Morning! and where is everyone?

Hope all is great with everyone!

Have a marvy weekend.

Annie

Hi Annie and Debbie!!!

Being hanging around but not posting as much.
I signed up with a personal trainer who does a program thru emial. I start the workout today. I need to email her my foodmand exercise every day.
My 18 year old cat Clyde died yesterday. It was hard.In a sense it is a relief that he is gone because he was so ill. Waiting is hard.
Hubby and the kids had a funeral last night. DD said Daddy cried. Good. He needs to face things and deal with them. He was really angry with me for not doing it all. I am glad now I stood my ground.Maybe some day he will skip that part where he is a total jerk first .

Back in Dec he said he wanted to be the man and head of the household. That takes action. He needs to “be” it. I would be glad to give him that hat to wear. Someone has had to be the adult and parent around here.

I am not working at payroll today!!! Very happy. I have a big trade show tomorrow from 10-4, setting up at 8am. Guest speaking at 11:40. I need to prep brochures, display and retail stuff. I wrote most of my presentation the other day. I do it off the cuff anyhow but I got my thoughts in order.

I need to clean both bathrooms and work on taxes. Gym tonight but no hockey. 6 weeks til soccer starts. Nice break.

I still want to clean up my computer; documents, email and pics.

1/2 hour til the kids get up. I am soooooooo happy that I dont HAVE to shower and do my hair and put on make up!!!!!

Will try and actully write personals later.

I wrote my goals out earlier this week.

1) keep the house clean and tidy all the time

10)take kids to Toronto this summer
11) earn a minimum $300.00/week

I called a friend last night and we talked for a lonnnnng time. Felt good.

There is no such thing as a day off in my life just days working without pay, LOL!! I am happy to be home tho.

Hey friends,
I've ate too much all weekend. Dh and I stayed on the go so we ate every meal out. We spend most of sunday on the bike. It was so nice.

Holly: I'm so sorry to hear about Clyde. Last year we lost our 14 yo cat. She left a very large hole in our hearts. :hug:

Got to go lunch is over...:grouphug:

HI Deb!

I'm sick. Both kids are sick and have been home. I napped all morning so far.Kids are playing quietly. Luke has been less intense than anticipated so that is great.
I am going to make some avon calls. At 2pm I need to pick up a book and deliver some Avon. It is damp and drizzly. Thinkin’ I will start a fire.
I pushed myself to go to School Council last night even tho I felt terrible. I was glad I went. We do 1 hour of a parent support group with a facilitator and then a 1.5 hour meeting. Some interesting projects were brought to the table. This is a diverse and deep thinking well spoken group. We had good discussion and debate around the issues. Set up some projects for the next 2 months.Had a nice visit with David afterwards.Nice to be with people who care about me, each other, our community....
My head hurt a lot tho and still does.
I was grieving for Clyde Sunday and parts of yesterday but seem to be thru it now.It is odd not to have him here with me.

Hi and Happy Easter Everyone.

Hugs

Annie

PS Holly, so sorry to hear about Clyde. I grieved over my doggies for about 6 months. Literally cried. Hearts to you.

Happy Easter!!!

We have a few inches of new snow, on top of the snow from yesterday. We are supposed to go to the park for an egg hunt but may skip it. It is pretty fluffy snow but I dont want to drive for an hour in it.
Puttering to do here for the morning. Need to make a veggie tray and prep everything for a ceasar salad.

We had a lamb dinner at my folks yesterday. The battle axe brigade were very well behaved and it was enjoyable.They were getting into the wine but we left before any fireworks.
Going up to hubby's bro's at 1pm today. We will have a ham and scallops dinner there.

I am going to do a treasure hunt for some Easter presents for the kids here tonight for the morning. I picked them up each a CD, some jeans, runners....

I have slept til 8:30 the last 2 days. Usually i am up at 6:30. Feels good to let my body decide when to wake up.
HUGS!!

Hey friends,
We had SNOW today. Nothing stuck but big flakes have been falling most of the day. It was 89f just a couple of days ago...:crazy:
I have a restful Easter planned. Our neighbor smoked a brisket for us. So I just have to make a potato salad and fix a fresh veggie tray and some deviled eggs and a banana pudding...all WW friendly. Grandson has out grown the egg hunt thing...bummer. I missed the fun. May have a senior egg hunt...LOL


Later

HI Deb!!

We got 6 inches of snow today. Easter dinner #2 has been eaten. Much good chat.Nice to see hubby's family.My folks yesterday. Kids have had 2 egg hunts too. I picked them up craft stuff and cd's and shoes and will hide stuff and make a map.

I want to do some tidying in the LR and then wrap the few gifts and make up the treasure hunt. Just got my SS lesson ready.

HUGS!!!

Hello Ladies.....

Had Easter with my family at Texas Roadhouse Restaurant on Saturday. Was quite good.

Then I fixed a sprial ham, greenbeans, potatos, sweet potatos, salad, and dessert for my kids and brother/wife on Sunday. It was quite the weekend.

BIG NEWS FOR ME>>>>I bought a house and close on June 8, 2007. I am so very excited about it. It is closer to work by 40 minutes. Only a 20 minute ride. Whew whoooooo!

Hope everyone is doing well, all you lerkers, start posting, we miss you much.

Hugs to all.

Annie

:carrot: Congrats Annie!!!!!

Hey guys,
This is my busy week. They have us stepping and fetching..LOL
I'm still in limbo with my diet. I really hate being out of control. I fix our family meals as low fat and low calorie as possible but I still overeat.

Annie: I'm so happy for you. You truly deserve all the wonderful things that are happening to you...:hug:
YOU GO GIRL....

Holly: Glad you survived the holiday. You have such a busy life. It'll keep you young. :carrot:

I probably won't post a again til Saturday, but I'll be thinking of ya'll

Later :grouphug:

Hi Friends,
Life has been busy for me. I have not lost anything but I haven't gained anything.

I am starting a new job on Monday, April 16. I'm starting at Procter and Gamble. I'm so excited about it. It's more money than the job I lost a couple of months ago.

I was so lucky to have an in-between job. It was ok pay but not great and it wasn't exciting enough for me.

I'm going to be an Administrative Assistant in the R&D department. Just to work for such a company is exciting and an honor. I'm so ready to start!

I'm going to try to start posting again. At least a couple of times a week.

It's good to read everyone's posts.

Take care.
Susie

Hi Ladies,
Where is everyone? :spin:
I had a 3.25 lb loss at my weigh-in last night. My goal right now is to have a loss every week for 3 months. It doesn't matter how much of a loss, I just want to get in the habits that will help me to loose each week.

Have a great day! I'll be around some this weekend, so I'll see you here.
