Also, What dates are you looking at? I would love to try to plan a get together with all of you guys. I think the trick though would be the dates. It would be great to go on a cruise but I am not getting in a bathing suit for a good long while.

Is it time for me to leave yet? I have got some serious ants in my pants right now. I have one more project that I need to do and I keep putting it off. I have to do it too b/c no one knows what is going on with it. It sucks that I have to do actual work these last few days.

The airfare is $257.00 from Maine to New Orleans right now. I dont know how long that is for but the websight says to plan your Christmas vaca so it must be for a while. That would be so fun. We should do this you guys!!! Plan for like a spring meet up or something. I would love to do it.

If you wanted to come down here the best time is going to be between March and the begining of May. Once you get past that is gets too hot. I mean I know it would for you northerners. :D I think Noelle and I would do just fine with it though.

What are you eating for lunch? I have left over chili. I am trying not to spend to much money right now. After all I will be unemployed after tomorrow. :dance:

I have been buying the bowls of Lloyds BBQ chicken and eating it on half a sub roll with wow chips. It is cheap as well. :lol: I am making quesadillas for supper.

March thru May is perfect for me becaue it is our deadest time so I could leave Jay home to work and he wouldnt be overwhelmed with baking.

I love that Lloyd's stuff. I have a few containers in my freezer right now. They were buy one get one free at the store so I stocked up. They are very easy and not that bad for you. I actually got tired of eating so much when I first bought it.

Listen to me, I just think that everyone wants to come to New Orleans. We do't have to meet up here I just thought it would be nice weather down here for it. Plus, I know how we all like to eat and this is the best place for food. (in my opinion)

Whats for dinner everyone? I am craving chili and spaghetti, with corn bread muffins on the side. I should really eat some breakfast and get off this computer now, it taken forever to post because dd. haha....Talk later, Julie

Kempy, I would love it. I think it would be fun for all of us. Lots of drinking and spicy food. :lol: I am willing to do it...anyone else? If everyone really wants to do this we should seriously start planning it. I already told Jay I may be leaving him for a few days this spring. :lol: It would be a great break for us all and plus just think of the fun of sitting up all night talking. :lol:

Julie, You should come down too. My son sounds just like yours. He is very overhyper. Does your son play with alot of other kids before school started? Mine didnt and I think he just didnt know how to act. He will get better. Well, Cor still has a ways to go because now he is the jokester so he gets in trouble and he hates to do his work. I keep telling him to take it serious because he needs good grades.

We have a DU meeting tonight and we are having it at the Mexican Rest. that we love. I think I am going to have Montery Shrimp. It is grilled shrimp with veggies and a little rice. They give you their cheese dip to dip the shrimp and veggies in. I love it. I say I want that now but once i get there I am going to want the good ol stand by. A soft taco and a chicken quesadilla (sp). I love that too but I am sure it is worse for me than the shrimp. I do know one thing. I am in PMS week and I do't feel as bloated as normal so maybe I can keep myself under control tonight.

Julie I ddidn't know you were looking for a job. Where are you looking?

Angie I meant to tell you, the twins are spitting images of you and Jay. Corey looks just like his dad. It is so cute. Little Angie and Jays. :D

I just booked my reservations for Christmas!!! :cheer: I am so excited now because it feels like I am getting ready to go even though it isnt for 12 more weeks. :lol: I have been dreaming of the chocolate cake we got at Sea World in the Busch cafetaria. YUM!!! I may buy a whole cake to take back to the campground and just eat that for supper that night. :lol: I am staying at hanna Park for a few days on the way home too. This way we can hang out on the beach for a few days to unwind.

I am making quesadillas for supper. I loved the last batch we had. I put the southwest sauce from Wendy's on them and they tasted just like the ones from Taco Bell. Probably not the healthies but they were good.

I gotta go to work. fun fun. Talk to ya all later.

Angie when you said 12 weeks I was like wow! It is that soon. I would love to do my shopping not at the last minute this year! You know he did not have any boy friends before this. Girls in the neighborhood :lol:, and his sister and him play all the time. They do sound alike :). Some kids need an extra push push. Congrats on getting that trip booked. How exciting, it is always nice to have something to look foward to :). Julie

Thanks for such an awesome welcome! And for letting me know a little bit about yourself. That was sure helpful.

Julie - I totally understand about the job thing - I'm looking right now myself. Although the waitressing thing is the exact thing that I DO want to do. Good luck though.

Noelle - I am also a mother of a 5 1/2 year old boy. And focusing is not even a word in his vocabulary let alone something he can do. Very frustrating.

angie - Mother of 3? Wow you must keep pretty busy. I can't imagine having twins. My youngest just turned 1 and she is 10 times harder than my son ever was. I think I would have to commit myself if there was 2. Love her to death though.

So yes, I am a mother. 25 years old and 4 kids (16,12,5,1 yrs old) - The older 2 are mine through marrige don't worry! Our family just moved to a new neighborhood and we are all still adjusting to the suburb life. We are all so used to the city.
What kind of program is everyone following? Low carb? Low fat? WW? I could never do the low carb thing. I looooove bread.
Thanks again for the warm welcome - I'll check in later and until then everyone have a good day and good food choices! - Jessica

You all have inspired a mexican dinner at my house tonight as well. Low fat Turkey Tacos with Kraft fat free cheese! I find that if I melt the cheese a little bit on the tortilla first it's actually pretty good, otherwise I can't stand the stuff. I've even diced up fresh mushrooms in with the turkey (you can't even tell) just to up my family's vegetable intake. They'll never know! He He! - Jessica

WOW, Did we all have Mexican tonight? :lol: The quesadillas were delish!!

Kempy, Would it be okay if my sis came with me if we all can plan a get together. Neither of us have ever flown before and would like to do it together. I hope we can all plan this out. I am psyched. It would be so much fun to all meet together. There would probably be so much talking going on that noone would get a word in. :lol:

Does anyone else think they could do it? I will have an extra 300 saved out for miscellaneous stuff so that would cover my airfare now all I would have to do is save money for going out and stuff.

Well, I will talk to ya all in the morning.

Of course your sis can come. I wouldn't mind. I like you so I am sure I would get along with her too. You are right, it would be great to have everyone of us together.

TODAY IS MY LAST DAY!!!!!! I can't stand being here right now. I am thinking I might leave after lunch. I have nothing to do so I feel like I am wasting my time.

Jess is seems that your dinner was way healthier than mine was. I ended up having a small order of nachos and we ate some bean dip. I feel a little bloated today. Oh well, I did it so now I need to move on.

Julei I waited tables for years. I liked it but I needed to move on. I got to the point where I was tired of serving people. I felt like all I was doing was begging people to tip me. But, I know that if I ever needed to fall back on it I could.
