Kempy I wish I could give you a great big hug right now. The holidays bring back memories, and can just be such a stressful time of year. If you ever want to talk, this includes any of you, pm me and I will get your number,( I have a really good calling plan.) We could make fun of each other's accents ! I know when Angie and I talked on the phone it was so much fun. I love her accent. Take it easy on yourself. I know you know that I have issues with some stuff too. We are all here for you, and I mean it I will call you and we can talk for an HOUR! Don't leave us, I would be so sad. Post when you can hon.

Angie have fun cuddling with your sweetheart. Yup, another meal, I think I did a little better today than Thursday.

Noelle, do you have model hands now? J/K I hope your nails turned out pretty. Pretty soon AI starts, can you believe it. This year went by so fast. I finally hope Paula and Simon get it on all ready ! I am a hopeless romantic....just like I faithfully watched the Bachelor and cried like a baby with Cherie on Wednesday when my cutie Byron proposed to Mary. I don't know if you watch that show.

Hi Cal, Summer, Holly, Gen, Cherie and everyone else. I'll probally check back tonight sometime. Julie btw I am dreaming of our Vegas trip . Someday we will make it happen!

Well, the vets finally came to give the animals all their shots. Rebel was shaking so bad and he peed a little while he was getting his shots. After we took the muzzle off from him he rolled over and gave the vet his tummy. My psycho dog isnt so psycho I guess.

Well, I got asked the question that every girl dreads....."Oh, are you having another baby?" I said no I am just fat. I said I have a yoyo problem. He was so embarrassed and kept apologizing(sp). It is my own fault. I see them a couple times a year and when I gained 60 pounds back in a year I guess it is to be expected. I am so sick of yoyoing. I want to be a stable weight even if it is fat. I have been either gaining or losing my whole life. Will it be like this forever?

How was everyones weekend? Mine was nice.

Good Morning Girls

Angie I feel bad for you about that question, don't feel bad though I think my neighbor thought the same thing about me 2 years ago! Glad the pups got their shots, your in the clear now for Florida. How exciting. Can you believe this month is almost over? Crazy, huh?

Cherie....Byron and Mary were on the View this morning. They looked so cute together. I think they are far the best couple on so far on the entire show. She looked so pretty and he looked really great! Well anyway I just had to mention it to you, oh they asked if they were going to have the wedding on tv and he said no and she said they have asked her, but she did not say no or yes....I would love to see it.

Check back later girls, hi to everyone. Julie

Good Morning everyone. It's Monday and time to step back into the routine. Thankfully, all the leftovers are gone, there is no more cake and one more holiday is behind me.

Angie.. I know how you feel about the yo-yo stuff.. I have been on a diet my entire life since I would say 10th grade. It's very sad. I just love to eat, and that is my problem. I do it when I am happy, when I am sad, when I am angry, when I am frustrated, any thing is a good excuse to eat in my book. I have to really watch myself, and give myself limits, or I would be eating every hour of the day. (((((HUGS)))))

Kempy (((((HUGS))))) I am sorry you are having a rough time. Friday was my dad's birthday and I just missed him all day long. We used to have the best Thanksgivings going to his family's, where all his brothers and sisters and family would get together. There would be like 60 of us or so. Now almost all the brothers and sisters are dead, down to two sisters (out of a family of 8 kids) so, I have fond memories, but this time of year really makes me remember what I am now missing. We are here for your.... Just come and check in when you can. (((((HUGS)))))

Julie... I am lost now knowing that Wednesdays are going to have a huge void in them until January. I am excited that Jen is the new bachelorette, however, I was really hoping that she and Andrew Firestone would have had a better relationship. I thought they were perfect for each other. Oh well.

Noelle.... sounds like you had a great weekend! I haven't had my nails done is years. One day I will pamper myself like that again!

Gen.. good for you for getting back on track so fast! I enjoyed my food til it was gone. I never over ate or stuffed myself... but now it's all gone, I am back on track I think. Going to get a turkey breast sandwich from Subway for lunch, no chips, so today will be a good one.

OK.. well, I need to get back to work..... Happy Thanksgiving to all of my wonderful friends here!!!!

Cherie

YEAH ME!!!! I just got in a half an hour of exercise. I havent exercised since before I got food poisoning so it has definately been a while. Well....I had better get dressed and go help Jay so he doesnt have to do all the work himself.

Where is everyone today?

Kempy, Come out and talk.

WTG Angie!!!!!!!! There you go! GREAT JOB!!! I bet you feel wonderful right now.. that is a great accomplishment!!!! Go Go Go!!!!!



Cherie

Woohoo Angie, great job excercising....keep it up! I know it is so hard for your body to get use to. When I don't excercise for awhile I feel like I am running a marathon. haha....I did get a little cardio in, if you call dancing with the kids excercise . Do you have any snow on the ground yet? I know some places in the country are getting hit hard with 6-12 inches!!

Cherie isn't it a total relief when you get rid of all the sweets? I still have leftover pumpkin pie and M&M's here. Yikes!! Hubby can eat the pie and the kids can go for the candy. I hope your Monday is going well. I can not wait until Friday .

Noelle I bet you guys are so busy after the holiday weekend. Don't work to hard. Is your ds in any Christmas plays or concerts at school? My ds has one, I can't wait to see him up there singing his little heart out, I just hope he does sing and not freeze up or yell the words !!

Kempy are you hanging in there? I also hope your Monday is going well. Hugs

Well guys gotta figure what to make for supper. I hoping something lowfat or lowcarb. Check in later girlies....Julie Hi everyone!!!!

Can I quit as being a mom????? PLEASE?????? A bowlful of chili on the carpet later.... my small bissell green machine that wouldn't work..so I ended up throwing it on the floor.. broke part of it, but the motor decided to start working THEN????? Really, I quit. Whoever said having kids was fun was on some major drugs. I so relate to Lynette on Desprate Housewives. Too bad I don't have ADD medication to keep me going.

Thankfully.... both girls are in bed. And they both got their hugs and kisses. Sigh... now it's time to finish my glass of wine, and go to bed myself. :-(

Night ladies.

Cherie

Good Morning. :-) Yes.. I am in a better mood. Hannah wanted to know if I was still mad at Megan this morning for dumping her bowl of chili, and I had to tell her, no, Mommy wasn't mad. I gave Megan a big hug.... she is back to her normal oblivious self this morning. I am sure she doesn't even remember dumping it.

The girls were so excited this morning... seems we had our first official snowfall this winter. It was a TRACE. Dusted the roofs, covered the cars a little. I had to scrape my windshield even.. I park under a covered patio, so the wind must have been blowing last night. Anyway... They were so excited. I would like to take them one day to Colorado where they can see BIG snow. Hopefully my next car will be the Suburau Outback I've been drooling over.. I would love to have a AWD car, and then to be able to take off someplace like that. In a couple of years maybe.

I hope everyone is having a good morning! Come out and check in!

Talk to you guys later..

Cherie

Hey Cherie, When you go to Colorado let me know and we will come too. I want to go there so bad. I also want to go to the Grand Canyon so bad.

I exercised again today for a half an hour so I am pretty proud of myself. My eating is still sucky but I want to start to workout again so it becomes routine and the eating will fall into place after vacation. I love my ner bike, I cranked the stereo and went to town on it.

I watched a video someone made about pitbulls on an animal websight last night and the song they played to it I loved. It is called Afraid of me by Twiztid. I will try to post the link to the video so you guys can watch it too if you want to. It is sad in the beginning and then they show the family pets with their kids and it is so sad. I hate that so many losers have ruined it for them. Poor babies. In case you cant tell I love pits or any terrier for that matter. I would have one if I could keep my house insurance still. My Mom has 3 Rotties and she lost her house insurance last year because of them. They told her she had to have them put to sleep and show proof of it. That is sick> Her dogs are old babies. They raised my kids. When the kids play in the woods the dogs stay right with them and everything.

PS: She told them to kiss her ***. She went without insurance until she could find a company that would take her. She is now paying through the nose just because of the breed of dog she has. They would NEVER bite anyone either.

I found out I exercised at an 80 rpm on the bike yesterday to the tv and today it was 90 rpm with music loud.

Kempy and Noelle, WHERE ARE YOU?????? Come out and play!!!!

Cherie, I have the same feelings myself sometimes. I wished I could tell you that they get better with age but they dont. They get meaner and more mouthy. haha Your girls are little cuties though

Here is the link to the video.http://www.deviantart.com/view/11454716/

Hey ladies!

I hope all of you had a nice Thanksgiving and from reading most of the posts it sounds like you did.Mine was nice - met my sister's boyfriend and he was nice (and tall 6 ft. 5in.) and he was smart enough to take most of piercings out before meeting the parents. Very sweet to my sister and he brought his dog so Fenway was so happy to play with someone!

Just wanted to wish you all the very best and that you are a group of dynamic women I am thankful for!

Good morning ladies. I tried to pop in yesterday but my work computer wouldn't let me so instead of getting aggravated, I left the office . My 3 sisters are returning from Sacramento tonight. Thank gawd because I am so sick of cleaning that d@mn litter box! **P-U! ** I spoke with my sister yesterday and she said she spent $84 on dog tag charms(?) at Petco. I told her she was crazy. But then again, she's the one that buys loads of dog clothes in Thailand

Cherie, I think we all have days when we wonder why we spawned the little stinkers Glad you're feeling better today. I like that Subaru Outback. I had one while my car was being repaired and it handled great. I almost didn't wanna give it back. Enjoy the snow with your girls.

Angie, that video is so sad. I agree--dog violence is not breed specific, it's stupid human pet owner specific. I had tears in my eyes and all I could think of was that poor pit that attacked Kai, he was probably put down instead of rehabilitated. Too bad the owner wasn't put down. WAY TO GO girl on that bike. I can feel your motivation already. I better get my butt moving soon too

Julie, Michael's school will be having their Christmas program on my birthday. He's been practicing singing Frosty the Snowman and Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. I always cry at those functions . I don't know what it is I'm hoping Michael will sing as well. He loves doing it at home but I remember last year, he just stood there smiling and only mouthing the words...my little Mili Vanili

Kempy, how are ya doing today girl? Hugs if you need them. We miss you and need your input around here. Thinking of you.

The rest of you girls: Cal, Summer, Gen, Jacks....come out come out wherever you are. Have a great day all.

Summer, we posted at the same time. Sounds like your sister brought one hot-dish to Thanksgiving dinner huh?

better than past dishes she has brought home....
