Good Morning Ladies~

I can't believe this weather we are having. It is supposed 60 today. It was just as nice yesterday and I had to open the door it was warm in here. So today I am going for walk outdoors. It is too nice to be indoors today. Hope this doesn't mean we are going to have a late winter and get tons of snow later on.

Pam~okay, what you need to do is copy the second url-I believe it says 3fc above it. Put your cursor at the beginning of it and click on it and it will highlight then go to copy. Then you have to go back to your signature page and put the cursor where you want the tracker to be and paste it there. the url will/should be there and then if you click on preview signature you can see if it is what you want. I think I explained it right and I hope that helps. Oh my goodness AI is just too funny. Yeah, I can't believe some of those people thinking they can sing.

Angie~I bet it is sad every time a play ends. I would love to do theatre but never have been good at it. So I just watch and look at the people and think they are just so talented. Oh my goodness...scary Mary...I think she was crazy. seriously something was off in that girl. And now everytime I think of her I get that song stuck in my head. I feel the earth move under my feet...she was too funny. So did the guy come back and fix the leak? It was a leak in your roof right?

Jane~another day with another granddaughter. I think that is so special and I know they love their time with grandma. I can't wait to have grandkids, although I may be dead by the time that happens. Out of the three kids I only see Josh getting married and having kids but not anytime in the near future. Have a fun day! I thought chat was at 1! I wasn't on at that time and I always seem to forget about it till after the fact.

Okay...Ms. Ellen~where are ya lady? I've been looking high and low and no Ellen anywhere to be seen. Hope you are feeling better today. How did the results of the GI go? Missing ya here.

Susan~so are you off with the Russian or the Hawaiin this week? LOL Just kidding. HJpe everything went well and you and little miss Gaby are fine.

Hi to everyone else

Other than a walk outdoors and cleaning up dog poo in the yard nothing much on the agenda. Little bit of laundry to get done. It will be a somewhat easy day. Take care ladies and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday.

Hey Girls

Jane: I have to say, what a cutie that granddaughter of yours is!!!!
MARTI: Sounds like that man of yours did well this year huh??? I always gets scared because DBF doesnt have the greatest sense for gifts and sometimes I really have to play it out!!!
Supposed to work at the hospital tonight, but I think Im calling out cause Im just really exhausted this week. Im thinking its from my workouts and maybe the lack of junk that my body is used to eating...I kinda feel like Ive put myself through detox, because all Ive been eating is healthy stuff!!!
I had granola and applesauce for breakfast, lunch was lentil soup, yogurt,granola bar, and then maybe a Lean cuisine and salad for dinner...Plus Ive been drinking about 100 ozs of water a day.....I just hope I see results , so that I dont totally binge over the weekend and ruin my hard work this week
I feel like Im living in the bathroom, but I hear that it shouldnt be that way for long, that your body will adjust to holding large amounts of water? Or something like that!!!!
One more day of work to get through for the week, and then 2 days off!!!
Might take my friends kids this weekend, seeing that I havent seen them in a couple of weeks.....We'll See...
Anyway, hello to Angie, Cristi, Ellen, Susan,Katy, Pam, and anyone else who pops in later
Julie

Hello Miss Julie your friend is so lucky to have you. You are a sweety for helping her out so much and for taking her kids so she can have time to herself to do whatever.

Well ladies...agaist my better judgment I posted some pics. I am not pleased with them at all. Okay, actually the pics turned out fine and when I scanned them they look fine but somewhere between yahoo uploading them and adding them to an album I am not sure what happened. The ones of me look horrible and they really don't look that bad. The first one the picture went really dark for some reason and distorted my face. And someof the others look like I have lipstick smeared all over my lips and V's too! What is up with that? Anyway...at least I posted some. I don't like the ones with the sweatshirts either make me look even fatter than I am. But I like the comfort of the big baggy sweatshirts and sweats, not very attractive tho. Maybe I will just make some extra copies and send them out. Anyway...also pics of the house. Just realized I didn't take one of the kitchen. A lot of them also turned out blurry, really not understanding that. They are befores, during and kind of after. I say kind of after because we still have the border to do and then will be getting some 2 in. plantation shutters for the windows except the sliding door. We open that too much for them there. Plus we are going to get some lighter valances-don't like the dark ones on the dark paint. Then we are going to paint the hallway taupe, possible the front and kitchen door. The white stands out too much. It amazes me tho how different the paint looks in the different pics because of the light. Some I took at night with the lamps on and the others I took on a gloomy day. I think the ones that I took when the sun was shining thru will show the true color. It's funny to me to see these pictures tho because it looks like it is a bunch of different shades of green but it's not. Anyway...we like the color. Take a gander if you like, not sure how long the ones of me & V will be up because I really don't like the way they look.

Later ladies...

Girls, I'm afraid you have cast your pearls before swine. I can turn it blue,I can grab it with the little circle but can't understand how to get it to a signature page.I've desided to draft the teenager nextstore when I can catch him and forse him to show me how to do it,until then I'll leave things as they are so I don't mess it up like I did yesterday.

Cristi, Erni is adorable.Loved the antlers.You sure did alot of work but it paid off.The house looks so nice and love your fireplace.Liked seeing you and Hubby.Now I have faces to go with the posts.Thanks for sharing.

Julie, I love Lean Cuisine.It's been a staple to my diet along with Budget Gourmet.

The innagrual has preempted all my soaps. They don't just show the speech but everybody and their brother has to put in their two cents. Groan.So much pointless chatter to fill air time.UGH.

Hi girls!!

Ok lets see here.....

Pam--Let me see if I can help a little. To post at your signature...you can find it in your User CP(which you can find on the menu bar at the top--it's highlighted in blue---first option up there) You can also find it when you go to PM someone and you see the whole menu to the left of the screen...it should say "Edit Signature" Click on the edit signature (it's the first option on the menu) Once you are there, it will bring you to a window where you can put what ever you want....including your tracker. So see if I gave you good enough directions to get you to the siggy area and paste your tracker. I hope that helps. If not...then maybe you can PM Suzanne and she can do better.

Cristi--You look GREAT!! You're beautiful!! I love your photos! I love that pose of you in the pink shirt. I want your outfit!! Is your hair blonde?? (oh...and V is pretty handsome too!) And your house looks so pretty. I love the colors of your walls. I feel very bland now with all my white walls!! May have to talk to the landlord to see if I can paint!! Thanks so much for sharing that with us!! Our weather here in Oregon is scary warm. It's never sunshiny in January!! We even haven't had much rain this year!! Crazy....hope that doesn't spell out a horribly hot summer!

Jane--I love my Gazelle. I've been on it for half an hour these last two days. I like how I can feel it in my legs. And it fold up so nicely. Very light. Right now it's in my living room in front of the front door!! So hopefully I won't be having company anytime soon!!

Angie--I wanna see your hair!! Post some photos if you get a chance. Blood red?? Wow!! If only I was so daring to color my hair!

Julie--You may be going through a detox if you've changed your eating habits quite a bit. Just keep it up and in no time you'll see great results.


Hello to everyone else!!

I took a shower...then.....I worked out. What was I thinking? So back to the shower I go.

I'm loving the gazelle. It's my friend! And for now...I'm going to save my money and not join the gym. I'm more comfortable being home....for now! Maybe later...once we move back to the sony building.

I better get going. Need to shower off what I sweated....eewwww!!

Ok,girls. Kris, teenager next store came over and did it so if it's below....... This is kind of a test post. There it is ! Don't you love my little fat bee?

Good evening ladies~

CSI is a rerun so here I am with nothing to do for an hour.

Marti~you are too kind but thank you! Don't think you can see my little pink thongs I was wearing with the outfit but DD got tired of it because every time we went somewhere someone was saying how cute they are and where did I get them. She threatened to throw them away if she heard it one more time from someone. My hair is blond. I can dye it red and it will turn blonde. Actually my natural color is dirty dishwater blonde with some grey and I usually dye it the same color or pretty close but it never fails after a month or so it starts with the blonde. Probably because it needs to be dyed again. Just don't like dying it much or too often. It's been over a year since I dyed it last. But I am waiting to get a haircut before I do it-who knows when that will be. Anyway...I do love having color on the walls and we are loving the green. Glad you are liking the Gazelle sound like it would be fun to do.

Pam~yeaaaaa! you got your weight tracker up! Love the bumble bee. Thank you also. Ernie is our baby! My son put those on him and he actually left the antlers on just long enough to get a picture. You wouldn't believe the number of pictures we have of him and it is so cute how when I open the lens on the camera wherever he is he comes running. The same with the movie camera also-he hears the beep when you turn it on and he is right there in front of it. And he won't go away until you take his picture and the camera is turned off and put down. Were you the one who has the blue kitchen? I would love to see that, bet it is really pretty. Blue used to be my favorite color for the inside of the house but I have since switched to pinks, green and taupe/beige colors. But I do have a blue bathroom with a lighthouse border that I love. Found some neat things to accessorize.

Well, didn't really have much to say but wanted to drop in and say Hi to everyone. Hope everyone is having a good evening. See ya tomorrow ladies

Cristi, I love the new colors....
have to tell you I have a cast member named Cristi...and hes a guy! Same spelling and everything...
Marti, thats so cool that you can save the bucks and work out at home. My hair is Elmo red...lol
Pam, I don't know how to do computer stuff, so what you get from me is well all you can get from me...lol I once sent everyone a picture of me,,,it was life size..lol And believe me,,,Im big in life!
Jane,,,don't temp me I would love to come and get a lil girl...and spoil her terribly!..lol
I have decided I want to be in charge of hair and makeup in Iolanthe. Its fantasy fairies...so cool. Feathers and beads and shiny stuff all over the hair and face.
Most of the ladies have long hair so wild abundance of girls with shiny ribbon braided in,,,and everything everywhere. Im thinking tiara's and headdresses with feathers...lol
Ive been asked to do other shows,,,which is funny. I haven't done makeup for real in so long...lol
Can you see the excitment? I have been recruiting assistantes for hair...have makeup artists , and one drag queen doing what I have in mind.
Mary Kate, I looked up the Pageant,,,,and would love to do that play.
Right now in the works are, Evita, Leader of the Pack, Hair, and the Full Monty. Oh ya Midsummer Nights Dream. I have been asked to do all of them. But Im standing my ground, I have said no to 2 for sure....the other two is a big maybe, being they are in 2007.
Well I better get to bed...
night all

Hi Everyone
Just checking in to say hello, so Hello, I will try and catch up on all your posts, and chat tomorrow, Jane your Grandaughter is precious, you really are blessed with a wonderful family.talk to all you girls tomorrow have a good night.

Good Morning ladies---

Ok....second time I'm trying this....I got kicked out and put in the main menu! How weird is that?

Pam--Hurray!!! You got your tracker up! And yes...your little bee is cute!! Glad your neighbor helped you out.

Cristi--Pink thongs....I want a pair. Although my daughter would have a fit if I called them thongs around her. She always tell me..."Mom...don't call them that, they're flip flops. Thongs go up your butt" Of coarse...I keep calling them thongs! I'm wanting to start wearing more pink. Jhanai bought me these cute pink slippers for Christmas and ever since then I've been wanting more pink. I guess I want to look more girly!

Angie--Elmo red?! Oh my girl...I MUST see a photo!! As for spoiling a little girl...how about if I just come up there and you can spoil me?! I'll even bring Jhanai that way you can spoil the both of us!! Being in charge of the fairies makeup and hair sounds like so much fun. I'm so not creative enough though to ever get into that. But it would be fun dressing up as one!!

Ellen--How are you feeling? I sure hope you're feeling better. You're in our thoughts!! Get some rest and see us soon!

My legs were so sore today at work...and I was absolutely THRILLED about that. Means I'm really doing something. I told James...I'm going to have such a nice behind in about 3 months if I keep this up! (then I started laughing.......I only wish I had the perfect butt!)

I better get myself to bed. James went to work tonight so I have the whole bed to myself......how lonely!

Talk to you all in the afternoon.

Marti - A belated Happy Birthday! Sounds like you had a good one...I am intrigued by the gazelle....need to look it up so I can visualize what you are writing about. I also workout at home on a stepper that can be folded up and set aside..It's a life saver when them weather is yucky and I can't walk outside. PS ..I still think of them as thongs also.

Jane - your DGDs are so sweet...and you are the best grandma. I have a couple of grandmas that spent that kind of time with me when I was little and those memories are so precious. I am so fortunate that my ILs are the same with my kids.. My parents..well...that's another story. I know they love my kids, but just don't put in the kind of face time with them they should ( my opinion).

Crisit - I really love the new colors and furniture - It totally changed that room. Are you still thinking of putting up a border? I also liked the pictures of you and V - love those capris you are wearing...you two are so sweet together - I like having faces to go with the names now.

Angie - speaking of which --- it's not too hard to set up a yahoo photo page, missy! I would love to see what you really look like. I have this vivid visual in my head thourgh your descriptions...some day would be neat to see if you look like I think you look, lol!

Out of time for now --- will try to get back later to chat with everyone else
Have a great day

Good morning, ladies,

Cristi - you first! OMG, I love your pictures!! You are beautiful, and you and V look so good together. Your boots looked so cute with that outfit, btw. Love the new paint, too. Where are you going to put the sofa table? I notice how you have lots of windows.. so do I and would go crazy w/o lots of light. Fern's house was so dark, and I didn't like that when I lived there. Mary and Dale are going to put in a picture window when they re-do the living room. Anyway, thanks for sharing a peek into your home. It's gorgeous.

Pam - YAY for the neighbor kid, lol. Mary was mad that they took her soaps off for the Prez, too, lol.

Julie - yep, your bladder will adjust after a couple of weeks. I still go more often then I did before, but not as much as when I first started drinking so much water. Or wadder, as our Susan would say, lol.

Marti - not only are you saving money and still getting toned, but you don't have to stay at work to do it. YAY! So glad you love the Gazelle.

Angie - I can see you doing the hair and makeup for Iolanthe. You're a natural for something like that. I loved the movie The Full Monte, and thought it was funny, but Neal didn't crack a smile. Wonder why he didn't like it, lol.

Ellen - oh, I do hope you're feeling better today! How're the babies?

Katy - it's been awhile since you were here.... hope all is well.

Hello to everybody else.

Well, my laptop died yesterday. Boo-hoo!! That's why I never checked back in yesterday. The monitor fell backwards and took the wiring with it. It was damaged from being stepped on (don't ask) and so I knew it was only a matter of time before I needed an undertaker for it. Right now I'm on Katie's computer. Dinosaur that it is, at least it's functioning. I'm going to buy a regular (not laptop) computer and desk today. We really don't want to spend the funds for this right now, but consider it a necessity.

Then I'm having lunch with my buddy Sally for her b/d. She chose Applebee's, since they have some healthy choices. Well, at least they are smaller portions, lol.

I'll try to check back later...

Katy, I didn't send you a pic of me? I sent it to all emails I have of the JL. Im not wearing my glasses right now,,,long story can't find them and too lazy to put in the contacts,,,,Im like minus 3 in each eye,,,Im think Im doing pretty good, but then again my fingers could be on the wrong keys and you are not able to read this. Nope I can see if I move my nose along the monitor. Thank goodness I don't have a cold eh? *shudder
I notice when I start drinking lots of water its like 2 weeks or longer for my bladder to get used to that....then everything is almost back to normal.
My office has alot of windows, one whole wall infact, and being my bedreoom is above that our bedroom has one wall of windows. The rest of the house doesn't thou. And that is one thing I don't like. I agree I think Cristi's house looks so different with the different color, both colors are great but funny how one thing changes the whole look.
Well I have a chiropractic appointment and eye appointment then of to work. I took the night off, no plays at all! The cast from Steel Magnol;ia's hates when I take time off cause my stage manager partner doesn't do the same things as I do. Weird thing is, this was her show,,,I was her spare, but she got sick and I had to juggle both shows.
Cpuple of weeks Tanner goes to band camp,,,better stay away from them flute players...lol Anyone not see American Pie
Katy In will try to set up a photo album and let you guys in on my pictures./life

Good Morning Ladies
Wow the sun is shining today, but the house is not, I really don't like when things get so far behind,its just that much harder to get motivated to do anything and when your energy level is next to nothing.I fianlly got the medication straightened out, now It just needs to build up in my system again usally a few weeks, another week almost over,I am so looking forward to spring and being able to get into the garden.
Hi Jane
I think I would be lost with access to a computer now, its almost as good as my morning coffee Your pictures are so cute,maybe you could spread some of those sweet babies around,for us less fortunate My Daughters sweetie says he has a three year plan which includes building a home this year, being married and starting a family by year 3's end but I'm not sure if my daughter is ready for all this at once, as a matter of fact neither am I
Hi Marti
I'm so happy you had a wonderful birthday,and you got your Gazelle, how do you like it. I really like mine I just haven't been too motivated to do much of anything, but I really do enjoy it when I'm on it.I am hoping to get going as soon as I get some answers back from the doctor next week.Hope you get your card soon , again so sorry it didn't get there in time for your birthday.
Hi Angie
BLOOD RED hair huh, now that I would like to see, you sure are a spirited girl inside and out I Have done some funky highlights on occasion, I to, like mixing it up sometimes , just haven't done it for a few years. As soon as I'm ready for my new look I think I might do something different,this spring.
Your baby Maddox is doing fine , he is twice as big as little sister Maddie.Amelie has a doctors appointmet today, she is sore again and having a hard time feeding the babies , so she may need more antibiotics,they helped her a lot the last time.The babies keep climbing under the blankets and when she can't find one of them she runs to me crying for help, so I have to go uncover them and show her everything is fine , she is still so young and it shows at times ,but she is so sweet and gentle.Angie I saw american pie funny movie
Hi Cristi
What do you mean the pictures are not good , the room looks beautiful and warm as does the new furniture, but I don't know how to break this to you, I have to say those pictures of you, ARE BEAUTIFUL what do you mean they look like you have lipstick smeared all over your face, I bet its because you and V were smooching and you have a guilty conscience You are exactly as I pictured you, now its two for two, You and Angie,Jane was close but for some strange reason I thought she was a blonde I thought I read that somewhere.but beautiful to. How will I ever show my face, every morning I look in the mirror I say the same thing but I'm working on it Cristi I do the baggy clothes to and my kids hate it, they don't mind if its a hoody, but baggy t-shirts they are just so comfortable ,and even when the 30 lbs is gone they will be hard to give up because they are so darn comfy,everybody's got an opinion
Hi Pam
your doing so good , look at you with your weight tracker up and all, good girl, I decided to do mine,if it doesn't change I will just say its broken Hows the weight loss going,good luck with it,We can do it I know we can
. Did you get your room all reorganized , refresh my memory now what is it that has invaded your livingroom. How did you handle the Taco Bell problem, did you call the police??? Inquiring me wants to know
Hi Susan
Now I don't think I have seen you here lately, or possibly I have just missed you, So if I have just missed you then I'm sorry I have missed you, but if I haven't missed you and you in fact haven't posted of late, where would you be miss Susie?? How did the meeting go, I hope everything went well for you,
I hope you and the girls are doing fine, ((HUGS))
Hi Julie
congratulations on sticking to your program when I cut out the garbage from my diet I feel the same way, although I don't know about the water thing do you girls find that your body adjust to the excess water, I find if a lot goes in a lot comes out
Hi to all the rest of you Girls where ever you are and what ever you might be doing, Mindee I'm watching you , well my eyes are closed I hope Brandon is doing well as for your little family. Kathy ,I don't know where you be, Katie , Ann, Sue,I hope you are all doing well.I will catch up again later I'm Hungry right now.so I will go and find me some viddles

Yipi. Good morning Ladies, from me and my fat little Bee. As you can tell I'm still jazzed.

Ellen, Taco Bell,your so bad. Not much happoned from the phone call so am keeping the dog door closed at night till my son comes home and then he opens it. He's going to put up that fence but has to wait till pay day and when his friends off to help him.The new addition to the livingroom is my son's huge Streetfighter arcade game.Glad your back.

Angie,I'm near sighted to. You did just fine. Hate it when I can't find my glasses.
