Morning ladies-- :wave:

Well today must be a two pound day!! I'm back to 150 and extremely happy about that!! So I say we all do happy dances all weekend!! :dance: :dancer: (just as long as we don't go crazy and eat everything available!)

Jana--You truly are inspirational! You have a major thing go on in your life and you still manage to stay OP!! :cp: I would have dived right into something chocolatey and gooey!! I'm so proud of you and know you are going to reach your goal!!!!!

RosieKate--Bathrobe and curlers?? :lol: That would have been a site!! Then I would really have the neighbors talkin!! :gossip:

Well girls...I'm set for another long day. (didn't get to bed until 2:30 last night) I think I'm going to get into the yard and finish pulling weeds along the fence. (As long is it's not too wet) Gotta keep myself busy.

You all have a great day and I will check in later on.

Marti

Just checking in....

Marti and RosieKate - YAY for the 2 pounds down each!! It was hard for me to stay OP this past week with everything going on, but my desire to succeed is immense. I just pray to God I keep this feeling of control.....

Cristi - thank you so much for the card. You are a true sweetie! Where have you been today?

Katie and her friend Kayla helped with the cooking and cleaning today for tomorrow's party. Mary and Gina are also helping with the cooking. :cp: I am really looking forward to having everyone over.

Neal and I are checking out a new church tomorrow. We're looking for one that the whole family can go to and take communion without a bunch of lessons first.

Hope you are having fun this weekend!

Hello everyone,,,,

Well mom came for a visit,,,we did like 15 yard sales...I bought 4 huge flower boxes for only 3 bucks,,,they were brand new! So of course we then had to go shoping for flowers....lol 60 bucks later everything is looking purdy in my back yard.
Again it was cold and windy...hate that. BRRRRrr
I cleaned my pantry,,,made some brownies and feel pretty good,,,need to fold about 6 loads of laundry...*sigh
Marti,,,I don't let Skittles out without a leash...shes a nasty lil Bleep.
Jana, you amaze me,,,someone with that much will power,,,,I have been eating horrible for 3 days now,,,must get back on track.
Rosiekate, I have plants a few plants that I have pulled apart and planted elsewhere and man they just keep growing,,,does cabbage flowers sound right? I have that all over the place and have actually started to cut them back and tossing them out. Plus pansies,,,didn't know they were perinnials...and they are growing wild in the back yard.

I bought a couple more fairies for my flower beds...I like that look.

Well gonna go read my book, and pretend to watch the game...
night
Angie

It really must be a 2 pound day! Put me on the list of losers...and a surprised one at that.
I thank you all for the input about Curves. It is attractive to me because it is ladies only. I haven't checked them out yet, and since we leave for 5 months of the year I don't know how that would work if there is a contract or yearly thingy. Maybe I can do this without them!! (at least I am finally starting to believe I can)
Jana--I must try the lemon version of the dreamsicle cake. Lemon is my all time favorite flavor. Sounds yummy!
RosieKate--I grew up camping, but married a guy who never liked it. I've become quite accustomed to hotels and now my idea of camping is Holiday Inn. :)
Angie--I love yard sales and used to go all the time when I had little ones. Now I just go look for books as I don't need to bring anything else home. I never pay full price for books.
Jana--Your DGD is a doll. The "grands" I have nearby are all teens now as the youngest DGS is 4 and lives in CA.
Hope everyone has a great (rest) of the holiday week-end. Sunshine to you!

Sue

Good Morning,

Just sneaking on and now I have to sneak off......lol

Sorry,always rushing around.

You read a HAP story RosieKate?? We are off of Burnside but there are 2. I know one had a criminal scene a few weeks back, maybe that was the complex??
Or maybe it was an article on how residents attack others when laundry is removed???? That be us.......lol....

How funny. I wil have to scan yesterdays paper.

I am down 1 1/2-yay........142 from 143.5....... ok about that.

CONGRATS to Sue, and Jana....and Marti.....was that it?? Super good...

I property manage Marti!!!! Geesh..lol....I am assistant and wanna be the boss, .....tell those maintenance men what to do......get free housing & utilities now.......but I would rather have my own place.

Oh, ya the head man knows me Jana, at least the one for my area. VERY nice man....the one that shares his diet pepsi.....the one that offers to babysit Gaby....that is that boss that will hire the new position.I trust whatever he decides, I think we have a bunch of talented people working for HAP, it is a good employer.

Ok- I know it is all about me posting but I better go. Just wanted to say hello before the girls woke up!!

TTFN :)

Good Morning all -

Susan- the article was about the Civic apartments - In Friday's paper. They are getting redeveloped - sounds like not a moment too soon. Doesn't sound like the one you live in.

Jana - Good luck with your church search - hey that rhymes! As a former Regular Baptist, one of my criteria for a new church home was open communion. I just felt, and still do, that that is between me an God. Or is that God and I? Anyway, our family found an ELCA Lutheran church that fit the bill - and are very happy there. Hope this church is a good fit for your family. I am enjoying attending again after many years away.

Angie - sounds so cold where you are! I had some violas that were returning yearly, but we had an unusually cold winter this year, and they have disappeared. I like pansies, but they are annuals here. I love yard sales, too and live a great neighborhood for it. They should be getting in gear soon.


Congrats on everyone's losses! We have all had great weeks, it seems. I'm a hormonal wreck right now (TOM) so I'm getting the Tylenol and heating pad and will check with you gals later
ciao
