Good Morning girls!! Well, today is weigh day and I still managed to get 1 pound off so I am very happy especially since I had to weigh in after 2 days of turkey dinners. :lol: So anyways my total loss is at 10.5 pounds so far. It feels good because I would be that much higher than where I started by now if I hadnt gotten my act together.
I just found out that my Mom and sister want to do a Christmas party here on December 17. I am nervous about that but I offered to make a vegetable lasagna(not good for the diet but I found a yummy recipe) and my sis will make a regular lasagna. I am more worried with the snacks that my mom and Claudia will bring. They had a ton here last year. I am going to do it on my splurge meal so I think I should still be okay, right? I have to try and stay away from the snacks and have a small portion of lasagna and a big salad. Well, I just wanted to check in. |
Hi Girls
Gosh, I love Thanksgiving! The food was great. But it is over and time to focus. My dd just found my safety key thing to my treadmill so I have no excuse now. Except a bone in my foot is cracking but I will try it out. Got tons of great deals on toys for my kids yesterday. We also found a TV on sale for our bedroom. Angie I am sure you will do just fine for the Christmas party. After all you still mangaged to lose a pound this week! Noelle too funny, I had maybe 3 rounds! Glad you enjoyed your day. Hi Dips and everyone else too. Have a nice rest of the weekend. |
Hey guys. I just wanted to pop on and post. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Of course we ate too much but what's new. I am not going to post much today. I am in one of my funks again. I am not really certain what is wrong with me right now. I will keep checking in with you guys though.

Hi girls. I am up because Lucky was barking at something...it could just be the neighbors walking around in their yard--she is scared of strangers--and my neighbors are very strange :yikes:. Kai was still curled up asleep on his rug so it couldn't have been anything too serious. Anyway, this getting back on track thing is hard with so much food lying around. I have to keep busy out of the house so I'm not constantly thinking about eating any of it :lol: I have my docs appt tomorrow (where I'll get weighed :o: ) then I have my WW weigh in on Tuesday. I have to keep focused!
Angie, way to go girl! You're so right, it ain't easy weighing in just 2 days after Thanksgiving. You're doing awesome. I know you can get though the Christmas party too. :cp: :bravo: Kempy, I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. :hug: We're here if you need us, just holla. Thanks for stopping in. Julie, so you braved Black Friday huh? I only went to one store and that was to buy laundry soap :lol: I saw on the local news there were people lining up at stores by 9 pm Thursday night, for the stores opening @ 5 am...there was one lady with a cooler with some left over turkey and drinks, her lounge chair, pillows and blankets :crazy: Some people will do anything for a bargain :lol: Dips, ain't nothing like mom's cooking right? :) Well, I'm back off to bed for a few more winks. Have a good Sunday everyone. :sunny: |
Hey Ladies
Okay, so the pounds that Angie and Noelle lost...I found! :lol: I gained 5 pounds over the holiday weekend (which I'm sure is water weight so I'm not sweating it) It was sooooo good. I went nuts with the food. But I am done with my overindulgence, It was fun while it lasted but I can't get too carried away.
Anyways, still kinda hectic around here and I still got some shopping to do so I'll check in later...:dizzy: |
Hey guys. I have been having major trouble with my puter today so I am not sure if I will be taking it to get fixed all the way through or not so if I diappear it will only be for a short time...or until I throw this one through the window and beg for another one. :lol: It was totally broken this morning and luckily one of our neighbors fixes them so Jay ran it down and he said the memory card was bad and put a new one in and walah it now works buit it is so slow. I copied all my pictures and deleted the files hoping to make it go faster but nope...
I didnt get any exercise in today because we have been screwing with this friggin thing and we put the tree up too. |
Good Morning girls!!! Who is ready to get down to some weight loss business??? :lol: I am definately going to do something for exercise today although it WONT be outdoors because we got alot of freezing rain last night and everything is like a bottle this morning. The kids even got school cancelled. I have noticed that on any week vacation they get..it snows or something on the first day they are supposed to go back and it gets cancelled. haha
I am so happy because I woke up this morning and the tree was still standing with all the ornaments on it. I thought for sure the 2 kittens would have climbed it. Oh yeah, I got a HUGE tree. It touches the ceiling. :lol: It didnt look that big when I picked it. hahaha Of course right now Teddy is nibbling on a branch. Well, I really should get moving. I hope you all get to post today and let me know how your Thanksgiving went. |
Good morning :sunny: I don't know what happened to my post last night. I swear it went through but now I'm reading up on the thread and it doesn't even show up. :?: Anyway, we went to the Bishop Museum yesterday, they have a new exhibition hall where they built a volcano. You can walk into it and through a lava tube, go upstairs to the top and look down into it and even press some buttons to make gas and magma erupt from the top. It's neat. Angie, I think Jay would get a kick out of it--it's not as impressive as the real thing of course, but it's a lot safer to watch. :flame: We had lunch at Dave & Busters afterward and I ate a little too many chips and salsa and this good queso....but I did have a grilled chicken ceasar salad and no dinner so I think I did alright.
Angie, you got your tree up already? ho ho ho!! I walked past a tree lot yesterday and just enjoyed the sweet smells. We usually have a fishing line tacked to the wall to help hold the tree up. How are Rebel, Candy and Mickey? Have you dressed them up for Xmas yet? :lol: Dips, I know those extra pounds will slide off once you get back on track. Now, hop to it :drill: ! :lol: hehe, I couldn't resist throwing in that little drill sergeant for ya. Hi to Kempy, Julie, Cal, Cherie, Red and everyone. Have a good day and hope to see more chatter around here. |
Hi Girls
Can you all believe it is going to be December? This fall has went by so fast. Our Thanksgiving weekend was nice. Saturday night we took the kids to a Christmas outdoor light show at a botanical garden in town. It was really pretty. They have wood chip trails through the woods with lots of differnt lights in the trees and lighted flowers and animals. Saturday and Sunday I got on the treadmill!!!! I am planning on going on it today when I get my laundry done and my tubs scrubbed out. I will be burning calories until I get to it! I made a beef roast in the oven yesterday. I have leftovers and I may make bbq beef on buns, philly cheese steaks or have it with gravy and mashed potatoes? Angie glad your tree stayed up over the night. I think we are going to cut ours down this weekend. I can't wait to smell up the house with a fresh cut tree. Noelle I hope your doctors appointment goes well. I bet you will be pleased with your weigh in! Dips I gained two pounds from the weekend of eating. But I am working on it. Those pounds will come off in no time. Well girls my work is calling. It is rainy and dark here and I would love to curl up on the couch but I just can't. Talk soon. Have a great Monday! |
Hi girls just popping in for a second....I ran to the store this afternoon and came back walked on the treadmill. Now ds is coming home from school and then I am off to a meeting back at school. Bye for now!
:) |
Hi girls, it's lunch time here but I am going to hold off on eating until after my drs. appt. :lol: Hopefully that'll help me on the scale.
Julie, your turkey-day and weekend sounded awesome. Good job on getting on that treadmill! The hardest part is starting up again isn't it? My house has a $ collection can going on for king crab legs and prime rib for Christmas dinner. :hun: Yum!!! I don't know how much I'm putting in yet because Rick and I seem to donate the most--and it's my sis, her husband and her 3 boys (2 adults and 1 teenager) that seem to eat the most crab. I think I'm gonna suggest that we pay per person, that way they have to shell out money if they want to eat. :yes: Gosh, I guess I'm hungry because all I can think about is food... Anyway, I'm actually hard at work here so I better get back to it. (I have to actually work one day a week or I feel guilty :s: ) |
Hey girls! I have been running steady today. I think I have packages coming in by every way possible this week. :lol: I love shopping on the intenet. hehe
Noelle, Good Luck at your doctors appointment today. No, I havent humiliated the dogs yet this year but I will get right on that. :lol: Julie, Your weekend did sound like fun. We dont have anything like that near us. Well, today I managed to get in 45 minutes for a workout and eat on track so far. Oh I wanted to tell you guys that if you like any of the things at Aeropostale, they are having a great giveaway right now. I actually ordered last week and again this week for the free teddy bear. You just order 7 items(clearance counts) and they give you a free bear with an Aeropostale coat on. I got my first one today and it is so cute and about a foot tall. Really nice. You can buy them there too and they cost $29.50. I actually ordered a bunch of the clearance items and paid less for both of my orders than the bear originally cost. :lol: So now Brit and Alicia get another gift. I am so cheap. haha C'mon, where is everybody? We need to liven this place up. |
Hi. I am still here but I am sick today. I thought I was going to lose my breakfast. (TMI) so I left work. I just wanted to say hi and I am still reading. I hope to be back to normal soon. I have mailed out your stuff so keep an eye out. It is just a little something from down here. I hope you guys enjoy them.
|
:hug: Hey Kempy, I hope you feel better soon.
|
Ciao Snow Bunnies!!
My oh my. Getting back into the daily grind SUCKED so bad :lol: I just wish I could have had another few days of laziness.:beach: But what can ya do?
Anyways I am SO EXCITED:cb: :spin: :D I'm going to meet with a breeder this saturday and by next week I could be the owner of a new Yorkie!! I always wanted one and this past weekend I was playing with my friend's chihuahua, Bella and I got that feeling. I want a pup of my own. So I'm gonna go for it. I'll keep you all posted on that. Kempy, you poor dear :(. I hope you feel better soon. Angie- You are doing so well. I couldn't be more proud of you. I'm gonna go back to phase one of SBD for two weeks just to knock off this thanksgiving chub. I also have to find a way to get some more cardio in. At any rate I am gonna be one fly diva by Valentines day. I just may be without a man by then :lol: BTW, I am all about the clearence items, it's not cheap,its smart!! Noelle- You are doing awesome too! I'm going to pretend I didn't see that bit about the chips,salsa and queso :rolleyes: It's still the holiday season so we can let some things slide for the next month. J- work that treadmill, babe! Don't let it collect dust, feel the burn:tread: And you're right about the fleeting fall season but the quicker we get to winter, the quicker we get it over with. Winter is for the birds! It's actually pretty war out here though. In the fifties today! I know it won't last but boy it felt great today. Hope everyone else is doing well. TTYL |
Heh guys, sorry I was AWOL. I just got so busy and am just recovering from the work...well, I was trying to...but it looks like I'll be busy again and then I leave next week for HK...sigh....it was a very busy week with the Japan Cup here, two big international races. But I got through them...though I must say the damage done has me feeling so down :cry: ...I put back on all the fat I'd taken off I think and I did so want to be feeling good for HK. Oh well...I hope you're all doing ok. Will try to get in the swing of things soon...ciao for now. :wave:
|
Good Morning everyone!! I have gotten in a 30 minute workout already this morning and eaten my cereal so I am good to go for the day. Not much happening here today, I am waiting for a guy to come up and look at the old convection oven we have for sale, I hope he buys it because that will give me a nice boost for Christmas. :lol:
Red, I hope you get a chance to rest. I am sure the weight will come off nicely for you once you can get back to your routine. Dips, I am so happy you may be getting your Yorkie. I know you have wanted one ever since I have known you. I love yorkies. I want something really small like that when mine all pass away. That way I can sneak him into stores with me and noone will ever know. :lol: Julie, You are definately doing a great job. I jumped on my treadmill for a bit this morning too. Everything is still covered in ice outside so it wouldnt be wise to go walking just yet. :lol: Hi to everyone else! :wave: |
Hi Girls
Dips I hope you get your pup! What an exciting Christmas present. Kempy I hope you are feeling better today. Noelle crab legs and prime rib? I will pitch in, let me know what time to be there:). Good Luck at your WW weigh in today. Angie I hope the guys buys the oven from you. Extra money is great for Christmas. Yesterday I found a twenty dollar bill in my wallet when I was at the store and I was so excited LOL. SO I bought my dh a present. We were not even going to exchange with each other, just spend the money on the kids but this present will be from the kids to him. Red rest up and take care! This morning I wanted something different than oatmeal so I had a yogurt sundae with ff yogurt, sliced banana, coconut, and raisins. It was really good and different. Anyway I am planning on getting on that treadmill again. I am getting use to it again. Tonight the Biggest Loser finale is on. I have missed most of the shows but I love to see the transformations after everyone has lost some weight. I think I am going to make something in the crockpot for supper tonight. Check back later on. Have a great Tuesday everyone. :) |
Hi girls, well, I went to my doc appt. yesterday and they are doing some blood tests. Because my weight goes up and down they are suspecting possible PCOS. Yeah, just what I need right? That would explain the difficulty getting pregnant anyway. But I will have to 'wait and see' and go back for a follow up in 2 weeks. I'm just gonna concentrate on eating right and getting exercise. I'm about an hour away from my weigh in...I did get weighed yesterday, but I'm not gonna change my ticker yet because I want to use the WW scale.
Dips, I hope you get your pup for Xmas too. Yorkies are cute and they're small enough so that IF you dress them up (which people like me and Angie do :lol: ) they look adorable instead of ridiculous (like my lab/rottie mix does). My BIL had one for 19 years, that's pretty darn old for a dog. Julie, your yogurt sundae sounds great. I love that Yoplait FF banana cream pie flavor, have you tried it? Sometimes I just use yogurt w/my cereal instead of milk. What do you have in the crock pot today? :hun: You're welcome to come over for Xmas dinner, I'll even pay your share :) Angie, good job on the treadmill girl. I tried to use my elliptical yesterday but even though it's supposed to go easy on the knees, my knee was aching. I guess I have to suck it up and go get that checked too. I can't believe my body is falling apart like this! :lol: Good luck on getting that oven sold today :crossed: I'm crossing my fingers for you. Dips, you're already fly girlfriend! ;) Red, hope you can fit in some down time, just for you time. Enjoy your time in Hong Kong. I am a bit jealous right now because my sisters are now in Chiang Mai, Thailand and will be back to BKK on Friday. This is their annual Christmas shopping trip. I've only been there twice but they go back year after year... Cherie, how are you doing friend? Come out and post when you can. :hug: Kempy, I really hope you're feeling better and back to your old self soon. :hug: Cal, how are you doing in beautiful AZ? Hi to everyone. I gotta get back to work. Be back later with my WI results :^: |
Good morning, all. Thanks for the replies to this often-silent one. I am feeling a bit more optimistic today. Even though my horoscope on the morning television said I had the worst sign of the day... :cry: ...I am determined to prove them wrong. Don't you hate it when you hear forebodings of woe? I let them bother me, something so silly as a TV horoscope.....
mele -- Don't be jealous. I actually start to dread the trips because I have no money but know I will wanting to use the credit card. And I kind of fear the drinking that is likely to take place. I had so wanted to be lean and then able to fill out into my clothes again, instead of having them already tight and getting tighter. Hotel mirrors and all that....ugh!! Your sisters may be shopping but, like I said, I certainly won't be. I am having to think of ways to enjoy the trip without spending money, which is harder to do once you've been to a place and are not just content walking around seeing the sights. That is silly, isn't it? I mean, I should just be able to revel in the idea of being in another city, another country, hearing another language...seeing people I don't usually see, taking an interest in the horseraces and all the effort that is being put into getting the horses ready. You're right, I really, really need time for just me. It's what I'm doing here right now, finally posting again. I also wrote an email to a former co-worker who I've been out of touch with. When I start writing it usually means I'm moving again, coming out of a slump. Sadly, I find that it is incredibly linked to PMS and I hate that thought. It makes it seem that I only have a window of a week or two to actually be positive and productive. The thought makes me angry. It's like I'm not in control but am being controlled merely chemically. I hate that! What, btw, is PCOS? I hope there is nothing wrong with you. And I hope your weigh-in goes well! :crossed: jbbm -- Thanks for the well-wishes. Did you get on that treadmill?! I hope so. I am thinking that the only way I am going to see significant change is for me to actually make significant change in my habits. Ah, like, duh?!?! Sigh. Why is change so difficult when they say it's the only constant in our lives? angie -- Thanks. Just hearing you say that you think the weight will come off helped to cheer me. I am in such a low now. I feel so beaten down, so without hope and fight. You, on the other hand, seem to have pulled out of a long slump and I am so glad to see that. I hope your oven sells. How is the exercise going? Hello to all others! I am trying to catch up slowly here....otherwise it's just too overwhelming....please wish me luck... :kickcan: |
Amazing but true!
:carrot: I am back from my WI and am down -4.8 lbs! :carrot: I don't know how and I don't know why, but it's freakin' amazing. The last time I was on WW ('03?) during Thanksgiving I lost 3.8 lbs and I was ecstatic about that, but this one takes the cake. I guess my metabolism is finally getting the jump start it needed. Thank you girls for your words and well wishes, they certainly help me to stay on track.
Red, :hug: Good to see you posting again. This time of year is tough for some, maybe it's the winter blues? PMS sucks for sure. I hope your spirits are lifted soon. PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome, where your ovaries produce mature eggs but do not release them due to a hormonal imbalance, causing cysts to build up in the ovaries. Sounds like fun, huh? I gotta run and pick up the boy from school. Ciao! |
Congratulations!!!
Noelle, that is fantastic!! :cp: :woo: How did you ever manage to lose nearly 5 lbs?! You must have been doing really well with your eating and exercise. Please send me your strength and determination!! :sunny:
|
WOOHOO NOELLE!!!! :carrot: :cb: :dancer: :woo: :high: Wow, You are actually melting away girl!! Great job!!! they should have a melting snowman smiley for this. :lol:
Red, I hope your spirits get lifted while on your trip. I get down during the winter myself and I hate it when it happens.Luckily everyone here is awesome for lifting my spirits. :hug: Well, I have been good with my eating today and I will have gotten 45 minutes for a workout in so hopefully the night time muching doesnt get to me tonight. I wanted to chew so bad last night....I didnt do it but boy was it hard. Noelle, I have been meaning to ask you if maybe a recumbent bike would be good for you where your knees are acting up on you. I bought mine from Kmart for $100 and I love it. I can do it while I am watching tv and it is comfy to sit on.It doesnt take up hardly any space because I am so short that is pulls almost all the way in. I went and bought an expensive one from Sears last winter and it sucks. I think the cheaper the better. :lol: At least when comparing the 2 machines. |
Hi Girls
Noelle :bravo: :cheer: that is so awesome about the weight loss! I wanted to tell you I have been on bc pill since about sixteen years old because of ovarian cysts. They get to the size of grapefruits and at that point just bursts....one time that happened to me and the doctor thought it was my appendix, did the surgery come to find out it was my ovaries again. So I have been on bc to keep the hormones in check. I hope you are okay, are they going to do and ultrasound to check for cysts? Hugs girl, female problems are a b*tch!! Are any of you girls getting your kids flu shots? I don't know if I should or not. They are saying for those 6 months to 23 months or a child high risk like with diabetes or asthma or the elderly. Angie aren't the nights hard time to keep out of the snacks? Most of all when my entire family is sitting around munching! I am going to try and catch some of the biggest loser tonight for some extra motivation. Stay strong....you can do it! Red hope you are feeling better soon. Pms is a terrible thing. I dread it every month! Good thing about it though is it passes. Take care of yourself. Miss you Cherie! Come back soon and chat when you can:) I made chili and put it in the crockpot. I made cornbread muffins too. I also had some ripe bananas so I made dd some banana bread. She just loves the stuff. I won't have any of it. I feel like I have been cooking all darn day! Oh well. I got on the treadmill today for about 15 minutes. That is better than nothing. Well sweeties time for me to get off the computer. Hi to all I missed! :) |
Heh guys, thanks for your kind words. jbbm, actually, I must have been unclear. I'm not PMSing now! :lol3: I was just thinking of how it aggravates things and gets me in such a slump...I mean, there are major problems in my life...debts!!...and the PMS just makes them seem even worse. It's not that everything looks rosy otherwise. It's just that the bad becomes really bad and immobilizing for much of the month. If I could just make the bad better the worst would only be bad...get it? :)
Angie -- you wanted to chew?! :lol: Maybe you should get yourself one of those doggie things, or some unflavored version and just go for it!! :lol3: Funny, my food attacks never involve chewing..it's more like just suck it all in! Trying to be a little productive today, or fall yet further into the hopeless state. What I desperately need are hugs and kind words.... |
I can't believe how great everyone looks on The Biggest Loser. They are awesome motivation!
Good Night Girls :) |
Good morning girls... :yawn: It's 1 a.m. and I'm wide awake. I want to kill Rick, he came strolling in around 11:30 pm (out drinking again). I get so mad when he does this. Don't know if I want to put up with it much longer. I'm seriously thinking of packing a bag for him and pushing him out the door until he agrees to get some help for his problem. On a more positive note, I am going to an Eagles concert tonight, with or without him. Music just cheers me up, you know?
Julie, I just found out that there will be another local biker build-off here (of the motorcycle sort). They are going to have the Motley Crue bikes on display as well. Can't wait to see if i run into any of them, mostly Tommy :T . Oh yeah, and Tommy Lee will be DJ'ing at a club the night before the concert. I can't make that one though since Michael's school will be having their Xmas program that same night. Bummer! I will send my girlfriends though and they promised to take pictures for me. :lol: I didn't watch any of the other shows but I did watch the finale of the Biggest Loser. It is SO AMAZING how these people transformed themselves even after getting voted off. It's so inspiring! That guy Pete was pretty darn sculpted wasn't he? I don't think it's fair that they pit the men against the women, although Suzy did a bang up job didn't she? Angie, I've never considered a recumbent, but maybe I will since you mentioned it. But how to sneak another exercise thing into the house when the ones I've got aren't even being used? :lol: I'm short too, so if it works for you it may just work for me. Julie, ouch on those cysts! I have to wait for the blood test results to come back before they plan any course of treatment. Of course I have the feeling that my blood tests may turn up 'within normal limits' and I'll just be one of those people who have all the symptoms of something, but the tests show otherwise :rolleyes:. I may just go back on BCP and be done with my dreams of having another :bb: :( Red, I'm following Weight Watchers and it just seems to work for me. I honestly don't know how I managed almost 5 lbs because I ate a few things I probably shouldn't have. I was really sedentary prior to this so just doing the change in diet and starting to exercise again has really made a huge difference. I'll send you some good vibes :goodvibes: :goodvibes: :goodvibes: Well, I'm done rambling for now. I gotta get back to bed. Chat with y'all at a more decent hour :lol: |
Ciao babes
Okay, so I meet with this chick on saturday. I'm sooo excited :carrot: . The Pup is 10 months old. He's a teacup so he's only 4 pounds and he won't get much bigger than that. Just how I like 'em :D The minute I make this thing final I will bombard you guys wit photos. Okay enough about me...
Angie- Those sudden snack attacks will pass. Its all a part of your body's transition. GFood job on resisting temptation! You're doing a great job.:D Red- My love, :hug: I hope you find your way out of this slump and feel better. You are such a bubbly happy person, it kills me to see you in bad spirits. I'm here to give you all the hugs you need. J- OH MY GOD. My jaw was on the floor the entire show [The Biggest Loser] Everyone looked so good. It's actually inspiring that they have to finish the last leg on their own. I just feel terrible for the one who didn't show up because he gained so much weight back :(. Hopefully he watched the show and decided to change his life for good. My goodness, some of these people dropped a whole person Matt lost 157 pounds. :yikes: That's phenominal. Anyways, I'm not a big fan of the flu shot. One year, my command made me get it, it just made me sick. I never got it again and I never had the flu. But that's just me, the kids may benefit. A lot of people swear by them.BTW, 15 minutes is great! A good starting point, you just gotta build yourself up but go at your own pace, you'll be fine! Noelle- YOU ROCK!!!:carrot: I am so proud of you. You're gonna look so hot! I was checkin' Pete out last night too. He says he's ready to have some babies...I'm ready to help him :love: I was so glad he won the 100 grand. The ones that really deserved it were him and the Doctor. They were the two nice guys on the show. What a fabulous show. I watched it from day one. I am hooked now. I hope you get things squared away with Rick. I guess what he needs moe than anything is a lot of support and a little tough love. :hug: Have fun at the concert! BTW isn't it just fabulous to lose weight even when you cheat a little? OH that's the BEST!!! :carrot: Cherie, Kempy- come out come out wherever you are!! Hope everythging is okay. Okay ladies, not doing such a good job of getting back to good eating. But the women at work keep bringing all this damn food! :lol: But today is a new day and I'm going to be a good girl. I just witnessed a panel of people who lost like 1000 pounds between them, granted it was no walk in the park but how impressive indeed! I'm off to work now!! |
Hey everyone! I'm back.. to a point I can check in! Last week, my daughters and I went to Tennessee to the Smoky Mountains for Thanksgiving, where we met my sister and her family there. That was a great trip.. but an extremely long drive home. Here are my pictures from it!
http://share.shutterfly.com/action/w...8AYt2TNu3cNGJ3 We drove home Sunday, (14 hours, through storms) and for the past three days, I've been trying to play catch up here at work. I think I am finally making some headway. Yesterday, the girls and I went and picked out a tree and set it up last night. Its the first full sized tree that I've been able to set up since 2000. The girls were very excited... I am glad. they needed that. Tonight, Hannah has gymnastics, and I need to go get a star for the tree.. and let Megan pick out an xmas gift for Hannah... then I am going to try to make some attempt in cleaning my house as well. I still need to unpack and I still need to do laundry... so that is the plan.. I'll check back in later when I can take a breath!!! I hope everyone is doing great! Cherie |
Cherie, So nice to have you back. I love the pictures! You and your girls are just so pretty. Those pics of you and the girls together look like they are professionally taken. Those would be great framed. That looks like a beautiful area. I am glad you had a nice trip. Sounds like you have a busy night ahead of you. Take it easy:) And talk to you soon!
Dips four pounds? That is so tiny. When I lived at home we had a maltese poodle mix. He was nine pounds. But you would think he was a big dog, he was fearless and had a temper, LOL. I just can't get over it either how great everyone looked last night on the Biggest Loser. Isn't food at work the worst? Hang in there and stay away from it. Noelle sweetheart I want to reach through the computer and give you a great big HUG. I hope you were able to get some sleep last night. Have fun tonight. It should be a blast. Have your girlfriends get lots of pictures of Tommy. That would be awesome to meet him. Well I am off to get my body on the treadmill, haha....Holiday traffic was out today I think and I need to burn some steam from drving in it, LOL. Hi to everyone else! :) |
Hi ladies. I came home for lunch and found a mess in the yard. Lucky (that darn mischievous pup we have) is into chewing EVERYTHING. We had to stop leaving our shoes and slippers outside or else you would have a chunk missing next time you wanted to wear them. She's eviscerated all of her squeaky toys and took the stuffing out, popped a couple of Michael's basketballs...now she's taken to chewing on the foam rubber from Rick's weight eqiupment outside. She's even been chewing on the wooden stairs of the house! I don't know what to do with her. I walk her for at least an hour about 5x a week, or play w/her in the yard when I can't. I just gave her and the other dogs some rawhide chews and she just up and buried it! Crazy dog. Does anyone have any suggestions for a 8 month old puppy to stop chewing? I can't be around to watch her every minute. I can't think of anything except maybe tying her up during the day--which we've done before and all that did was make her chew her bedding.... help!
Cherie, you and your girls are just beautiful--and that place! Awesome views! I had butterflies in my stomach just from the shot from that lift going downhill! And your sister and her family, very nice looking people. This is the sis that works for Fairfield--that gets you good room rates? I love the reindeer and the bears. Your girls will remember this holiday for many years. Glad you could make some time to pop in with us. Dips, 4 lbs is just the right size to sneak around in your purse like (the other) Angie said :) Let us know when you finally get him. He's gonna be so adorable. Julie, thanks, I needed the hug. Holiday traffic is the worst! Good for you for de-stressing on that treadmill. You know with parking at malls? My sis has a friend of a friend named Cynthia Mitchelson who lives somewhere on the mainland. Anyway, this lady "Cynthia", she always gets lucky with finding a close parking space (or so we've been told). So when we're in a busy shopping center trying to find parking, we chant "Cynthia Mitchelson, Cynthia Mitchelson"....and someone almost always pulls out in front of us so we can park. It's weird and funny at the same time. We've never even met this Cynthia person, but we use her name to get a good parking space, and it works! :lol: Red, how's your day going so far? Have a good one! :flow2: Hi to Angie, Kempy, Cal, Holly....come out come out wherever you are. |
Just wanted to drop in and let you know I'm still here.
Progress reports go out tomorrow and I'm still putting grades in the grade book. I'm so tired and feeling down, but don't really know why. I'll try to check in again soon. Cal |
