This is a very warm and friendly group of ladies who talk about everything. Who also provide daily support in our everyday lives, as well as our walk towards a healthier lifestyle.
Marti - hope you're having a good weekend with James and Jhanai. Btw, you didn't answer my question about her age. Get on the ball, woman, lol!
Susan - so sorry you didn't get the job! (I agree with what Angie said, lol) Your time is coming, sweetie, it just wasn't meant to be yet. Hope you get some rest this weekend. At least the stress of not knowing about the job is over.
Angie - lol, I love your plan for giving the kids something to do and getting the house cleaned all at the same time! What a great idea! I made soup today (chili) for tomorrow. Forgot what kind you said you made, but it seems that when one of us makes soup, some of the others are making it too, just by coincidence!
Jen - glad you have all that extra space. I finally gave up trying to fit a dreadmill, er... treadmill.... in the house. It would have taken too much space in the playroom. So I've been doing WATP every other day. It's boring, but it gets the job done.
Hi also to Katiecat, Shanna, RosieKate, Cristi and the others!
Like I told Angie, I've made tomorrows soup already and I made a low-cal version of banana pudding for tomorrow, also. We're going to Mary's in a little while for the party, but I'm taking a smoothie with me for that. I am lucky that I don't like store cakes, lol. That has saved me a lot of temptation!
My good news is that I'm down 1 1/4 more pounds. Too bad it wasn't at least 1 1/2 to make an even 50, but that's okay. I'll get it next Saturday! Four crummy little ounces, lol.
Good day all,
Jana, I make soup as much as I can,,,I love soup. The family is ok with it but would rather have *real* food.
I made left over soup...meaning I have some roast beef and potatoes from the night before. I just added more veggies, and spices
We had another veiwing this morning,,,nothing. The house is clean....
Thinking of going to see Harry Potter,
Monte had meetings all morning and just got home...maybe he will come join Tan and I.
well gonna go get dinner ready.
Angie
Doing weigh in 's every other week now, so didn;t do that today.
YAY to Jana & Marti!!! Miss Cristi- hope she is ok....
Hi Jen
I am really ok on the job, not real down about it at all. Going to take advantage of my mornings and take some college courses in the Fall- and sooooo much to learn on the job-
Look forward to the new boss- and just carrying on. I worked 92 hours on my last pay period,can't wait to start buying stuff for the apartment-
Soup sounds good!! Mayeb I will go buy me some from the store....
Met a man on line- he lives about 30 minutes away- he has 3 children living at home , is a plumber= goes to a good church. I haven't met him yet, just talking on the phone.......he went fishing today,,,anyway his kids are 13, 10 and 9......we'll see...........
Making my way through Ben & Jerry' coupons. GAby and I went and got some last night. Butter Pecan and Cherry Garcia........lol., probably gain back....
Marti - YAY for the 1 pound down and for the good grades, too. When will you know about the Math grade?
Angie - my dad used to make a version of leftover stew, only he called it "Hobo" stew, lol. He would throw all the leftovers in a pot and I do mean everything! Saurkraut, bologna, beets, whatever, lol.
Susan - speaking of beets made me think of you, lol. So.... are you planning to meet the mystery man soon? Glad this one lives closer than Alex.
Hi to the other Jaded Ladies and any lurkers out there.
Well, the party was so much fun. The theme was Dora the Explorer, lol. I took my smoothie with me and did fine with that.
Today I have no special plans. See, Shanna, having a boring life doesn't prevent ME from posting, lol!! Anyway, hope you JLs have lots of fun today.
I have heard of Hobo stew, love that stuff...........so much soup talk I went and bought me a can for dinner.
Gaby and I are heading for church. I asked the other girls and they passed.
His name is Les and he said " so , wanna meet tomorrow (Sunday)" I said no...maybe in a few weeks after I build up this wonderful fantasy....lol
He said "why would you want to do that??""..........I was joking.
Maybe this week sometime, he doesn't have a problem meeting Gaby at the same time. He seems very involved himself as a father.
We talked for 3 hours last night when my phone battery went dead. He seems like a very nice man. He does commercial plumbing- only deals with clean pipes....lol.
His kids are 15 ,13 (girls)and 9( a boy)- I think I said it wrong before.
So to answer..........this week or the weekend......see how the phone conversations go.
Just a quick one at the moment. Not sure what I'm doing today but I need to get myself busy so I'm not bored and want to eat myself silly!
James left at 4:30 this morning. Won't be home until Thursday afternoon. I had told him that I was going to go Birthday shopping for Jhanai and he told me that he wanted to do some of it while he was in Salem. Hope he decides to find me something!! Ok ok...so it's not my birthday...just being needy!
I will definately do individuals later. Jana, I will get back to the music thing...I have to think on that one.
I went over to my grandpa's today and made us some lunch. Spent an hour with him. He watched the ball game while I yapped!!
He made some stackable drawers for Jhanai and he plans on getting them laquered (Did I spell that wrong!) in time for her birthday. He had another set that he didn't like how it turned out and I did....so guess who gets that?? I want to use it for a filing drawer. It would work out perfect!! (and it wouldn't be ugly and metal!!)
So time for individuals......
Jana--I'm not sure when I'll find out my math score. She was supposed to have it in by Friday.....but it's sunday and still no grade. I'm not too worried about that class though. I'm still amazed that I got a B in Accounting!! I was sure I was going to barely get a C!!! So just imagine my surprise when I saw B!!!!!!
Angie--Don't worry...you'll sell that house soon enough. With all our good vibes heading your way from all over your bound to get a buyer soon!!
Susan--Three hours on the phone!! Wow....it's like we're talking with a teenager here!! Hope all goes well with the meeting. I think you're brave. I don't think I could ever meet someone on line even though I have heard so many couples getting together that way!! So good luck!
Hi to the rest of you girls!! Where are you all??? Enjoying your weekend? Hope so.
I'm off to read a book. Borrowed some of grandma's old romance novels. I have never seen her read any of them so I'm not sure how she got so many!! I borrowed three. Actually grandpa woudn't care if I kept them. One of them is set in Oregon.....so that one ought to be easier to imagine!!
Take care girls.. I may be back considering I'm all alone for the week.
I tried Weight Watchers with my sister in 2002, but quit after they refused to change the unrealistic goal weight that they had set for me. My goal weight was supposed to be 145 lbs. I brought in a report from the doctor showing that I had 146 lbs of lean body mass - they were unmoved. I lost 50 lbs doing Atkins and step aerobics in 2002, but have been unable to stick with either and am slowly putting weight back on.
I'm thinking about trying South Beach or SugarBusters, because I know that carbs are my big problem, both weight and helathwise. I also need to get back to exercising, and to that end, I ordered a pedometer this morning. My fiance is a diabetic, so a low-carb diet will help him out too.
Hello Kate the Spinster, and welcome to our group.
Yes Susan i tried to PM you like 5 days ago...lol Just was going to say I would call you later but,,,I fell asleep right after....lol thank goodness you I ddint' call,,,3 hours? geesh melted the ear wax or what?

Congrats Marti,,,good grades!
So yesterday we hung out,,,didn't do alot,,,relaxed,,,rented a couple of movies,,,Big Fish,,( still confused about that one) and Cold Creek Manor (save your money!)
Today we had to help Monte out with his route...things have changed so we went throu that,,,we then went to a German Brunch Buffet...OMG that was too good...and I was soo bad! WE then went and saw Harry Potter 3....now Im home needing to do some lists for Monte.

Hello to all the Jaded Ladies! Thank you so much for the warm welcome on the bio board!
First item on the agenda: I'm a really, really bad poster. I do most of my posting on the week-end when I have some free time and I tend to get really far behind sometimes! But this group looked so warm & cozy that I decided to barge in anyway.
At this point, I'm pretty much reading the posts and getting a feel for all of you regulars. I'm sure I'll delurk & stick my nose in from time to time.
As Homer would say, "Mmmmmmmmmmm.....soup.....". We have a food coop in town that makes absolutely scrumptious lentil soup. In fact, it's so good I had it for lunch AND dinner the other day.
My other quick comment for Mom2Gaby is that I met my husband online too. We've been together 5 1/2 years now, so those romances can bear fruit! Good luck!
And good luck to all of you in your various ventures: school, work, kids, etc, etc.!
