Marti: Will try and get this chat thing working!!! In due time... I really appresciate your help though !!! I wrote a little message to suzanne(or someone high up) lol i didnt know how to pm her so i just wrote a quick message in the contact us thingy) hope that is ok!!
Jane: I will pm my address after i type this out... Congrats on the NSV!!!!!! Isnt that the greatest thing!! My doc told me to go by inches not weight because i am big boned and muscular and i will always weigh a lot even if i am small! a couple of years ago i was in a jeans waist size 32 inches,, and i still weighes 175!! so i keep checking my pants to get looser But... yesterday i put my size 20- pants on and i had to wear a belt because they kept falling off!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!! and i went to work at the dance last night,, and a lady i haven;t seen for a while said i was looking good!!! YAY again!!!!
Susan: That tulip farm looked really neat!!! I wish there was stuff like that around here!!(well wouldnt have it yet anyway there is still snow on the ground!!) My con is 6 now, he started going to his dads when he was about 1. I never sent anything with him... I made them buy all the diapers and tylenol and clothes.. they never had a problem with it... I say they because he lived with his parents when Nolan was that age... so i didnt worry as much because they were all there to look after the baby!!
Suetalks: Well my week-end was kind of relaxing lol... I enjoyed when Nolan went to his dads before i had the baby more though.. because then i had the week-end all to myself and i could clean and sleep and stuff like that.. Now when he goes it is almost harder because he is not here to entertain the baby!! Oh well. Oh ya.. that is soooo nice that your mom is close!!! I would be so excited!! My mom got transferred to a job 2 hours away, so now she leaves sunday nights and comes home on Friday nights... so i hardly ever see her... I miss her!!
Katy: Thanx for the compliments... she might look cute but her temper is something to be reckoned with She definately knows what she wants... I guess she is just like her mommy.. she even looks like i did as a baby.. I call her mini-me!! ah well the temper cant be helped, i am irish and french
Cristi: Hello, hope you are having a good week-end!!
Ellen: Hello? Hello? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Hope you are feleing ok and can;t wait to talk to you!
Pam, Katie, Angie, and everyone else.. Hi, hope all is well!!!
Wow, it is soo windy here today, it woke me up this morning!!! Guess I wont be going outside for my walk.. I will go to the mall and walk back and forth for a while trying to get the baby for a nap... seems to be fighting sleep these days.. It will be nice when she doesnt need to nap anymore, then i dont have to plan my day around her sleeping!! well she isnt going to sleep so i best get!! TTFN xxoo
Everyone out busy this Sunday?? I'm busy cleaning house and I wanted a break so I thought I would pop on here really quick before I continued.
Terri--I'm sure that was ok...but if you just find either Suzanne or Jennifer, just click on their name and it will give you an option to PM a message. (for future reference)
Susan--I want to go to the Tulip Farm!!! I sure wish the weather was better though. Did it rain on you? I suppose yesterday wasn't a bad weather day...we actually had sun.
Sue--We've been talking about buying a house. Not sure if we'll have to wait until next year. We've realized that it would be so much better for James to be closer to work since he's always on an on-call basis at work. Plus, we both work in Eugene and Jhanai lives in Eugene....and we're almost 25miles from it!! So time to move closer to where we're always at.
Well went to the reunion last night and not many showed up. We did see some people we worked with but it wasn't like last year when you couldn't even walk around in the place!! Don't think we'll go next year.
Alrighty ladies....I need to get back to cleaning!!
WEll ladies... I am happy to report that my chat is up and running!!!! It was a java problem...(problem was i didnt have it ) but i dowloaded it and all is well!!!!!!!!!!! Wow you would not believe how proud i am of myself for figuring it out!!!!! First i had to download activex or something, then i had to dowload the java thingy which took an hour... but it is done yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus i am extra excited because i saw an awesome pair of pants today.. but the biggest size was an XL.. no plus sizes. So... i bought the XL and figured it would be incentive... but when i got home i thought well i will try them on to see how much smaller i have to get to fit these things.. and lo and behold they fit!!!! and they look good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry guys but i am so excited and you guys are the only people i talk to about this stuff!!!!!!
WEll better get to sleep.... TTFN xxoo thanx for listening
Good evening ladies,
Feels like Ive been gone forever...
Nothing really new,,,just the play,,,kits of fairies, and lords. Takes me a full 2.5 hours to get 20 fairies done. And thats with 3 assistants. I keep getting wonderful responses from the way they all look...
The cast parties alot and seem pretty tight...couple of squabbles but all in all for about 60 people to be closed in tight quarters not bad.
Susan, that was a great email to Mike,,,point across without sounding demanding.
And will love to one day go to the tulip farm...
Marti, we had no pranks done on Friday,,,so boring...
Whats with all the wind you all keep talkinb about? It was brutally windy here last week...my eyes were swollen with allergies or dust, I looked like a bull dog.
Terri, your daughter is adorble...
And congrats on the clothes fitting!
Terri--Glad that you finally were able to figure out chat! And congratulations on the jeans!! WTG!! That is definately a great NSV!! Must feel good!
Angie--Hi! I bet you did get lots of compliments on your costumes! How long does your play last? Sure wish I was nearby so I could go see it!! I would love to see your fairies all dancing around on stage! How fun.
Got my house cleaned. So much more to do in certain area's of the house but it smells clean and looks great! Pretty proud of myself. Had A LOT of recycling....and still have more! Need to get rid of all my old school work. Don't need any of it.
I hope you all had a great Sunday. I will pop in tomorrow.
Katy - that ol' scale can be relentless, lol. How's it treating you today?
Susan - hope you had a good time with the girls. Do they like Doug's new lady?
Marti - looking at houses to buy is so fun! Around here the banks will pre-qualify you for a loan, so you know what your limit is for a loan. Do they do that in OR? It does make more sense for you to live in Eugene, but I love the name of your town now.
Sue - wow, you are so lucky to have your mom at all, let alone so near!! Glad she's all settled in. Yep, we've been having some excellent weather here, and I've been loving that!
Terri - thank you for the congrats! And YAY for your new size pants!!! Makes it worth it, right?
Angie - good to see you popping in. I've missed you!
Well, as I mentioned to Sue, the weather here is just gorgeous! I plan to spend most of the day outside again.
Well, not much happening since last night lol.... It is cold and windy here, looks like it might snow.. it is -1 degree celcius... (dont know what that is is fahrenheit.. maybe 30?) So I guess it is an inside day again today... was windy and cold all week-end!! Yes Jane and Marti the new pants size feels great... going to try the water thing this week too!! PMS is about to start and i always gain 5-10 pounds!!!! Maybe the water will help with that!! I was calculating how much i have to drink and it is like 113 ounces or something!!! That is a lot of water!!! Hope my plumbing doesnt go!! I will probably spend the day in the little girls room!! I think i might go and light a fire.. my fingers are going numb from the cold.... lol.. they are seriously!! Where is everyone?? must have had a busy week-end! WEll I am off for a bit BBL.. TTFN xxoo
Our weekend was indeed busy, so I wasn't around the computer much. We went to the fundraising auction for my DD's preschool, then we had to move our clocks ahead, so yesterday was a complete waste!
So - I went ahead and changed the ticker. Earlier in the week the scale said -2 lbs, but with TOM and all it fluctuated a little, so it's looking like -1. I'll take it! Saturday was a day with many NSVs, as I dressed up for the auction and several people commented that I looked like I had been losing weight. Yay!
BBL - I have some emails to send and some running around to do
Have a great day
I hope all is well with you. I am back to work today. So I am posting from work and taking advantage of the fact that this computer in NOT on DIAL-UP like my computer at home is.
I need some help with my ticker. Can someone tell me how to change it. It seems that I have lost another pound (YAY ME!) That is a total of 5 pounds for the month of March. An excellent start, and I am very proud.
This morning, I managed to get 20 minutes on the ski machine and even walked the dog for 10 minutes before work. I have strapped on the pedometer and so far have logged 2881 steps. I have a desk job, but most of my morning has been spent walking back and forth to the warehouse and updating all my sales catalogues. So not a bad start. I still need to have a long walk tonight with the pooch to make up the defiecit though.
JANE--Not to worry about the extra postage. Mine didn't have it. Must be the Canadian exchange rate eh?
TECH SUPPORT-- Can anyone tell me how to change my ticker. Seems that I have lost another pound somewhere.
Will write more later. Right now I have to deal with a customer.
Jane~ We have been using Orajel night time on Brandon’s gums when he gets super cranky. But for the most part we really don’t need to use much on them.
Terri-Lee~ He seems to be over his poopy diapers. Although, his two cousins, Nicholas and Veronica are over and he is being a BIG time bully! I will have to post the pictures later, but he knocked over Nicholas and THEN was climbing on him! We have to get that out of his system before the next baby comes.
Cristi~ How are you doing??
Tommy is watching the Tigers opening day game. Right now, the score is 11 – 2 and they are winning!
Marti~ How are you doing?
Susan~ Sorry to hear that you were missing Gaby, but she I am sure has made up for the time that she was gone!
Jane--We have a friend who is going to help us out, she works doing morgage loaning and all that stuff. She said she's help us out w/half the cost or something like that. Anyway, she's going to help once we get going. Probably won't be anything looking to buy until summer is closer...(which is just a few months) Have a lot of home buyer guides....gives us idea's of what neighborhood we want. Very excited about the idea.
Terri--Adding more water will do wonders for ya! I've been drinking green tea everyday. And lots of water. But I sure don't think I drink as much as Susan! But I always notice a difference when I do drink lots of water. Great for the body. I will PM Suzanne about you're chat room victory!! Wednesday afternoon!
Anita--Congrat's on 5lbs in March!! To edit your ticker, just go to your signature page and put in the new weight. You don't have to go back to the ticker pages to change. It will automatically change when you do. I have a desk job too and getting the workouts in during the day can be hard. I've pulled out my gazelle after two weeks of not working out on it!! (shame on me) and I always do a minimum of 30mins. Gotta get my body back into shape!
Katy--Hurray for the NSV's!!!! It feels good to have people notice doesn't it? I had someone at the Sony reunion tell me I looked great and getting small. Hmmmm.....I didn't think so, but I felt good anyway.
Mindee--yep, need to get your little one bully'd out before baby 2 comes along. He may be a little jealous at first, but he's so young it may not even affect him.
Ok ladies...I've got to shower and get some lunch before work. I may check in again later...if not I'll be back after work.
YAY on Angie posting! Wow - a lot of dressing of fairies Ang- lol- would love to see a picture of them
House hunting is exciting Marti. Doug still has a GI loan he could use. We looked when we were still together. I wish he would use it and get a home for the girls before anything happens to him ( he is 71)
ooooooh, Jane. I have only seen his lady friend twice. She came to church once and was at his place when I went to pick up Gaby after work. I think she is nice so far - lol. Outgoing, single mom - has a 17 year old son and a daughter out of the house who is married with a child. She has her own home and rents out another. The girls say they don't like her and I say.........stop being so selfish. He deserves to have a friend.Sheesh......these kids.
argh.,.....cranky - lol
I didn't get any sleep last night!! Slept on the pull out bed and it was lumpy. Girls were up and down the stairs waking me up......anyway, coasting today.
Gaby is home!! She was whinning for awhile when she got home. We went to Dougs and I put her pj's on and washed her clothes.
Another sunny day here. I was able to walk my 2 miles this afternoon. We went to visit BiL this morning, then I cleaned 2 bathrooms and ran the Hoover. Brought in the bird feeders and washed them all out. Now I will feed the finch. Can't wait till May to attract the hummingbirds.
Tomorrow I plan to finish the housewoork and do laundry. Fun, huh?
Terri - your body will adjust to all the water you're drinking after awhile. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks? I forget. Even once you slack off going so much, you'll probably continue to go more than before you started drinking so much, but it's worth it to see the scales go down. Did you get snow?
Katy - YAY for the 1 pound gone and the NSVs!! IN in legislature right now trying to pass a bill that would keep the entire state on the same time. If they do that, it will be about 10 PM before it gets dark, in the height of summer, where I live.
Anita - are you glad to be back at work? Your job sounds fun. Yep, what Marti said about the ticker. Just go to your signature and change it there. A big Bravo for the 5# down in March! That's like 20 sticks of butter!
Mindee - seems like when the DGDs are cutting teeth, they get a runny nose. Is Brandon like that, too? How're you feeling?
Marti - must be great to have a banker friend!! When we sold our house in town, we agreed to this: instead of coming down a few thousand from the original asking price, we let the buyers put that $$ toward their down payment. We got what we wanted, and they didn't have to come up with a down payment on their own. Worked out great for everyone. The only down side was, as sellers, we had to give the commission fee on the total amount, which made the realtor happy, but cut into our profit a little. It was worth it to us, though, to be rid of the house, and of course, we still made a nice profit. Do they do that in OR too?
Susan - does the lady seem ok to you? It would be normal for the girls to be a little jealous. Aww, I bet you snuggled with Gaby a bunch!
Sue - don'tcha just love hummingbirds? W have so very many cardinals in the fir trees here. And buku mockingbirds. The mockingbirds try to attack the dogs when they come too close to their low-lying nests, lol. It's fun to watch, lol.
I'm getting my hair evened out later today. Mary and I tried to trim it up the day I left for Chicago, and although we did an ok job, it needs a pro's touch, lol. Worked in the yard most of the day yesterday. It's just so beautiful out that I can't stay indoors, lol.
Ok I am all ready... I got my notepad out to take notes!!! Got my warm cup of coffee!! I needed something hot... it is only 12 degrees in here(celcius)... My DH went to light the fire this morning before work and the house fill up with smoke!!!So we figure the birdies have made a little nest in there.. so for today me and Emma are freezing our big buns off!!(Sad to report the baby is built just like her momma) lol (Although up until i had kids I was a little beanpole!!) THis weight loss thing is a little new to me!!
Jane: I was right, i only drank half of my water yesterday and i might as well have been just sitting on the toilet... I dont think I moved from there..But happy to say i got out for my walk after a weeks hiatus!! but now my back is killing me...Oh the price we pay to look beautiful!!! A new haircut always makes me feel better!!
Susan: I am always a walking zombie.. I have insomnia.. plus when i finally do get to sleep the baby wakes up every hour almost!!! I can;t wait until she grows out of that!!!
Marti: WEll is is too cold to drink all that cold water today.. so i might be drinking warm cups of green tea all day Oh well, tis better then nothing... (they will have to wait until i am done my coffee of course lol) If you don;t mind me being nosy, how much do houses cost in your area... We only paid 30 000 for this house but had to put a lot of work into it.. plus we are way out in the country.... the taxes are ridiculously low!! but in town the average house is about 100 000... , we only bought this about a year and a half ago.. my hubby is friends with a bank manager.. so she helped out a lot!!
Suetalks: I love hummingbirds.. I will have to get a feeder this year because last year i had a couple hanging around my house... what other kinds of birds do you get in your area?
Mindee: It is perfectly normal for a little boy his age to be aggressive... even my baby girl 20 months beats on her big brother.. when she does it we just say emma no.. be nice and show her how to touch nice... seems to be working so far!! And i found that orajel never works for teething.. but the doctor said to give her some tylenol before bed to help the pain go away to sleep.. that worked a little.
Anita: Bravo on the pounds lost!! I have dial-up way out here.. but i changed internet providers and now i have this thing called hi-speed dial-up.. it works very well!! much faster then the regular dial-up!!
Katy: Congrats on the pounds lost and the NSV!!! Ya the clock thing really messed up the baby's routine!! yesterday she slept until 10:30 am !!!! crazy..
Has anyone heard from Ellen? I hope she is doing alright!! I don't think i will be doing much today as it is too cold to even get out of my blanket!!! So I will BBL to check if anyone is around TTFN xxoo
Good Morning!!!
