hello!!!!
 

TOM came a week early and knocked me off my feet!! I knew something was up when the scale went up 8 POUNDS yesterday!!! It's back down 5 today, so I am chugging the water! I have never had that happen to me before, it was scary!

Could we ever plan a daytime chat for a day or two during the week? My kids play on this thing at night, IMing their harrams, so chat is hard for me at 11pm my time. Maybe we could plan a day and time in advance and more could make it. Just a thought!

Those bracelets are cute!! The blankets are beautiful. I am SOOOO not crafty!

Got so much laundry to do, and some organizing my life as well! Before I die, I will be organized, I WILL!!! Back in a bit!

Spryng,

The pics look great! How wonderful to be talented! You are the queen :) Here is your crown :queen:

Kristen,
Go US! I have made out my schedule too! :cb: It feels so good to be in control of your life!

Ok I still haven't gotten out the door but close now...... :)

Gonna get off here and get out the door!

Good morning ladies!

Spryng, Michelle and Cheri...chat was great! Kristin, sorry I missed you but I had to get my butt to bed. My boys are up early...not as early as yours Penny and Crystal! :lol:

Michelle...I didn't say too many bad things about you...just cursing your computer :D How's potty training going? I need to try again with Will...just don't have the patience.

Ricci..sorry you weren't able to see us. I wonder what the heck is happening?

Spryng...love the baby blankets. Can you take a picture of the patterns so I can print them? :lol: I don't know anyone having babies in our family/friends. We're getting too old ;) . There'll be another set of neices/nephews old enough to marry start the families etc coming soon.

Mel..enjoy the Jersey shore! We'll hit the pool again later when Tony takes his nap. More fun if it's just Will and I.

Kristin..what time is dinner? :lol: Sounds yummy.

Penny...if you can keep up with tracking points, you'll love WW. There is always variety because you can eat normal food. I loved it, but always ended up stopping tracking which got me in trouble :^: . There's a lot of support for you here!

Leigh...where are you?

Di, are you back yet?

Let's see...got my 3 mile walk in. Not much else planned yet. Tried to clean off the kitchen counters..where all my stuff piles up..but apparently Tony didn't want me to do that. All he did was whine Mama and drove me nuts. So I told the boys we had to come down here so we could get some work done. They haven't been down here for awhile so it's like having all new toys to play with. Dinner will be grilled turkey smoked sausage and some veggies and salad and maybe a baked potato. I'll go grocery shopping tonight after Dh gets home. Just can't stand to go with the kids so I don't unless I have too.

Have a wonderful day and a big hello to anyone I didn't address personally!

TTYL

Help!
 

I have a question!

How do you figure out how many points something is if you break up the portion size. Example:

I am eating a lean sirlion roast (2oz) with my lunch and the only thing I can find in my book is lean steak (4oz) and it is 5 points. So how much would my roast be??? :confused:

And oh yeah..... How do you figure out the points in a recipe? Like if I make a dish for supper...... do I do each ingredient and then divide it by the servings :confused:

What is the typical points breakdown for breakfast, lunch and supper. My breakfast was 4 points plus a 1/2 cup orange juice (1pt) and my lunch was 7. I am up to 12 so far. Is that right or not???

My intake point should be 22.

I just want to make sure I am doing this right!

And Yeah I haven't left.....LOL I decided to eat lunch here first before I leave...... LOL

Thanks in advance!!!

I started a new thread - see ya'll there :D

Hi again!

Ok Michelle, I downloaded those programs you told me about, the spybot and the ad-aware. Well the spybot found lots of crap on the computer (over 250 things) and got rid of it and the ad-ware found 115 things, I also downloaded a registry mechanic and it found 115 erros on my hard drive but since it was a free version it only fixed the first 6 of them, ugh. I don't want to pay 30 bucks for the full verison. But my computer does seem to be running a little faster (crossing fingers) so we'll see. :) Thanks so much for telling me about those programs!
Geri, I can try to take a pic of the pattern but since the pages are glossy it may have a glare. I could always type it out, lol. But that would take time! LOL. Do you crochet? I know what you mean about grocery shopping with the kids. I always say a small prayer before going and hope the kids act right. There is usually alot of bribing going on, lol. But I don't want to pay my SIL 50 bucks to watch them. lol. I'm cheap!
Oh Penny STOP! LOL.. you are making me blush! I am NOT talented! I've only been crocheting for a couple months remember? these are easy patterns. But someday I would love to get into really intricate ones and make a twin size blanket for each of the kids beds and dh wants an afghan for his truck. I'm just not ready to commit to a project that large yet. Baby blankets work up much faster, lol. So what does you schedule look like??
Cindi, I wish TOM would hit me early this time around here. I'm due to start the day after I leave with dh... will not make for a romantic trip, lol. But at least we'll be together! I'm ok with that ;) And a chat during the day sounds fine to me. My kids nap between 1 pm and 3 pm... so maybe around there sometime? I won't be chatting today though, I'm still tired from last night and I'm ready for my nap !LOL.
Kristin, I think 2 more kids is great! We may want one more someday too... but not for at least 4 years, lol. 3 is enough for right now. I don't even remember what life without diapers is like, by the time Tanner is potty trained I'd have been changing diapers for almost 6 years solid!! eeks! That's just wrong, lol.

well I started this post a couple hours ago, lol.. just finished it, lets see who has posted since I started this.
