Hiya ladies and a HAPPY FRIDAY! :clause:
It is such a nice day so far! I am lovin' it! Supposed to be 61 today! :sunny: Had to run a few errands this morning early and by the time I was coming home people were already out and about. Jason decided to wait until the last minute to do his shopping and headed to the mall, poor kid! Actually, he called and said it wasn't so bad at that point. They expect a lot of people today and tomorrow. Boy, I wouldn't want to go anywhere near the mall either day. Anyway, will be glad when it's over. Thinking about taking all the Christmas stuff down the day after and getting things back to normal, especially my walking! SUSAN~OMG! That made me think of when I did that to Josh! He had cradle cap (think that is what it was called ???, his scalp was REALLY dry) and someone told me to put vaseline on his scalp that that would get rid of it. Yeah, right! All it did was make a mess and of course it was hard to actually get it on his scalp with the full head of hair that he had. Kid to this day has to keep his hair short because of his dry scalp. Okay, so what was the deal with not wanting to touch the carpet? Kids do and say the darnest things and you gotta love 'em for it. I know mine have kept me in stitches over the years with the silly things they have done and continue to do. We have loads of fun though. Hawaii in April sounds so nice, I wanna go. One day I will make it over there, want to do an Alaskan cruise first. So did ya get Gaby's hair straightened out? MARTI~I hope you, James & Jhanai have a wonderful Christmas weekend! We are having a small dinner on Christmas Eve and then will attend midnight mass-always a nice way to end the day. Then we will just relax and open gifts on Christmas day and pick at leftovers. I too need to get back to my walking. I have slacked so much and the last week and a half I feel I've been out of control with my eating! Somebody save me! Actually, I have felt out of control but when I weighed I hadn't gained anything so that is good. But I definitely need to get back on track with my walking/exercising and drinking my water. I can't remember the last time I had a bottle of water either. :nono: JULES~sorry you have the blues. :hug: :grouphug: I usually feel that way every year as Christmas gets closer but this year I am very thankful to have my son home. Now next year will be a different story because we have no idea where he is going. It just won't seem like Christmas without him here. I think I will literally die when they all leave the nest. :( Okay, sorry, I am not helping you here. Just remember we are here for you anytime you want to talk or vent. :hug: Hi to everyone else :clause: I am going to be scarce this weekend and probably next week. As I said to Marti, our Christmas dinner is tomorrow and later today I have some baking to do and then tomorrow lots of cooking. V has the whole week off so will be spending some quality time with him. He's been working so much we hardly see each other, or so it seems. He goes back to work Jan. 2 and Josh will be leaving Jan. 2 so I am going to be spending time with both, actually everyone but Jason & Carrie will go back to work after Christmas. So, I am going to wish you guys a Happy Holiday today and I will see you, not sure when. Hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! :tree: :candy: :wreath: :ginger: :hohoho: :present: :snowglo: :elf: :xcheer: :ginger: :wreath: :candy: :tree: |
Hi ladies,
Angie - Reese cup dessert if lethal. It's basically melted butter, peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, and powdered sugar mixed together with a layer of milk chocolate on top. I made it at Dale's request. Katie's braces were $5500.00 four years ago, and included oral surgery to get an impacted tooth out. Insurance only paid $750 of it, but the orthodontist let us make payments. Cristi - the no-bake ones are the ones with oatmeal. I only use 2 cups of oatmeal, though, and add a big squirt of Hershey's syrup to the rest of the ingredients, and they're real creamy. Uh, like you, I also made the mistake of going to the porn site by accident when I first started coming here, before I bookmarked it, lol. :yikes: Susan - if Cristi gets to be your maid of honor, can I be your personal assistant, lol. Will the wedding be held in Hawaii?? I need a grass skirt for the occasion. OMG, stop the visual!!! MaryKate - hey, your New Year's Eve munchies sound good and healthy, too. Neal and I plan to stay home and celebrate alone. Last year we went out and the smoke in the place about killed me! Julie - aww, this is for you ---> :hug: I hope you're feeling better by the time you read this. Marti - we can get serious again about exercise after the new year as a group, if you want. I'm planning on becoming strict after we get back from Florida. Well, my appliance repair man hasn't shown up yet, but the furniture guys were here early. I love my new table and chairs!! It's going to be busy around here, so I'm not sure when I'll be back. So.... Have a Blessed Christmas, Jaded Ladies!! |
Hello Ladies!!
I can't believe it's Friday! It has been one long week I tell ya! I have a bunch of little things to catch up on today before work and I haven't even started! Jane--The oven guy still hasn't come by?? I think it's time to make a phone call and ask when they'll be there. OR....to ask if you could borrow their oven so you can get in some baking!! Cristi--I'm glad to hear that your son is home for Christmas. That is truly a wonderful gift to have! I hope you and all your family have a memorable Christmas together! Jules-- :hug: Sending you a hug! I'm sorry you're feeling down. :hug: :hug: :hug: Hope you feel better soon! Susan--A vision of your sister scooting on the towel cracked me up. For some reason I picture her scooting like when dog scoots....not a pretty vision (sorry) But I'm curious too....why didn't she want to touch the carpet? MaryKate--Your New Years menu sounds very good! I think you and hubby are doing such a fantastic job dieting together! So proud of you two!! The artichoke dip sounds good! Is there a recipe to share??? Angie--I want to go to the zoolites w/you and sing!! And if I did that, hopefully you all would sing loud enough to drown me out since I can't carry a tune!!:D Jhanai needs braces too. I'm not sure how we're going to afford it. But it's something that needs done. She just got the last two teeth that needed pulled, pulled yesterday. Poor girl...she had a total of 6 teeth pulled out, w/one being pulled on her own! Hello to everyone else out there. I know I'm missing a few....so sorry. Well I think I better get to my list of "things to do before work" before I just don't get to any of it!! Not sure when I'll be back online since it's Christmas but know that I'm thinking of you and wish you a very Merry Christmas!! :rudolph: :clause: :candy: :ginger: :xcheer: :coolsnow: :snowglo: :present: :gift2: Merry Christmas Ladies!!:rudolph: :clause: :candy: :ginger: :xcheer: :coolsnow: :snowglo: :present: :gift2: |
Marti -
lol No it wasn't like how a dog scooted. Not like she had worms or anything - (or did she???? - lol) She might have had 2 towels and kept one ahead of the other. She did this like a week , I think it had to do with bugs or something. As a family we didn't really talk about it - seemed normal. lol- jk Jane - Hool skirts and a coconut bra is what we are all wearing!! lol Gaby would look so cute in one. I called and talked with the ex for a second and could hear her in the background barking like a dog. Cracked me up....she is so sweet. Anyway= heading out for a second...so bored at work today - everyone is gone. |
Merry Christmas!:rudolph: :shocksn: :snowglo: :shocksn: :hohoho: :snow4: :snow4: :gift2: :xcheer: :candy: :candy: :mrsclaus: :mrsclaus:
That was kind of festive. I haven't done much to prepare this year. I feel bloated and depressed the last 3 months. I hope 2006 is better and I can get back on track with the weight. Picked Gaby up a bear at the store and just watching the clock so I can go home. ohhhh, Rocky is on the phone - yay. He is weedeating outside, it is around 85*. He has such a laid back lifestyle - annoys the heck out of me - he moved furniture and now is outside working. blah :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: I better go - he is in a chatty mood. |
Hello to all my ladies!
This has been a very tiring & frustrating day. First of all my DD's surgery was postponed - again - because of her period - again. I had a few choice words with the nurse and let my thoughts be known - not that it did any good! So it is rescheduled for Jan. 13. I am a wreck. Then I checked on my Mom and her one eye and side of her face was all swollen, red & yuck. She didn't want to go to the dr. because my cousin is home from Chicago & was going to visit. I called him & said we'd call when she got home from the dr. so then she went to the opthomologist. She has shingles on her face and in her eye! It looks awful and is very painful. So we went to the pharmacy for antibiotics, antibiotic eye drops, another eye drop and pain pills. Her hearing aid broke last week so I have to shout all the time which is tiring too. Gotta check on that next week. Now DH comes in complaining about another guy "threatening" him at the Sr. Center (just like little kids)!! :yikes: :yikes: Susan: Know how you feel about the hair cut experience. That's what my Chloe did - she cut off all her long hair to just under the ear. Ended up looking cute - after a trip to the beauty shop! Thanks again for the birthday wishes. My little Chloe came to my office to see me that day and give me a cute "grandma" sweatshirt, teddy bear calendar and Christmas tree ornament. DH got me a very nice pair of sterling silver & birthstone earrings. Chloe has an ear infection and hopefully will feel better for when Santa comes. DS is coming home tomorrow afternoon until Mon. morning. I don't have to work Mon. so we can have breakfast together. DD has already hit me up for babysitting on New Years Eve. We usually don't go out so that will be OK. Looking forward to our Christmas Eve service at church. Our choir is doing a cantata which is to be very nice. It's always a pretty service. Time for a wine cooler. Thanks to all for listening! :hug: I hope everyone and their families have a safe, blessed, and Merry Christmas! Connie :candy: :tree: :santa: :coolsnow: :wreath: :snowglo: :present: :candy: |
Merry Christmas!
Angie and Marti - thank you for the lovely cards...
Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone the best...may not be around much over the next few days. Tomorrow is grocery shopping, housecleaning, then 3 o'clock candlelight service, then off to the IL'S for Christmas with them. Sunday - we have our usual hubbub in the a.m. My brother is driving up from Eugene ETA noon; but church is at 11, so we haven't decided if we are going to that or not. Ham dinner 'round 3 with him and the other IL'S then more presents. Lotsa fun Will be thinking of you all and wishing you peace in your homes and in your hearts I am thinking I need to jumpstart something in the new year to break through this stubborn plateau I've been in. Anyone else feel that way? Maybe we can do an OP challenge of somekind? If we all do it together and we each decide what OP means for us, it could work. I liked the old 21 day challenge, but it kind of pooped out. I wouldn't mind participating in that again, if anyone else is interested. Food for thought ( no pun intended) :) Love to all Katy |
Good evening ladies,,,
Susan,,,you will need hair and makeup done...ahem I know someone who can do that Both boys have cut their hair,,,Brandon took a marker to Tanner once...like last year. And drew black glasses around his eyes. Then there was the time Monte thought he could save us bundles by buying a razor and doing the boys hair. i came home to Tanner looking well sick. I hid the razor... Jane, your oven is still not working? arghhh call the guy. I have to tell you I have been so bad with sugar,,I don't normally like it but dang Ive been almost free basing it lately. I can barely see my eyes are glaced over. When i got to WI I will have to strip down,,,even my contacts...possibly get my body waxed. Thats going to be a no makeup day... Connie,,,that is just crazy,,,again having to reschedule. Im worried it will happen to me since my TOM lands on the time I go in. My tooth still hurts,,,or I should say the area around it. i bit down funny and almost cried. We opened our gifts to each other tonight...since we leave tomorrow and will be gone till late at night Christmas. well should get to bed...so much to do still |
You can do the make up/ hair Angie. Unless you were meaning Gaby can do my hair?? haha
First family gathering down , 2 to go. Went to my ex's family gathering. I must say the food was rather sinful. I had some salmon and someone made awesome fudge. The kids are nice to me (they are 48 down to 38 now - Rach & Becks older sis & brothers) now. When I was married to their father it was hard. The youngest and his wife announced she was pregnant so that was wonderful news. It was also sweet to see the grandchildren all grown up. Tomorrow I go to my mothers and see family - one is a new nephew - love babies!! (((Connie))) would love a challenge Katy!!! Planning on getting serious Tuesday after this marathon of family gatherings. I think I will even buy a new scale - it broke when I moved last time. better get! |
Hi ladies and MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! :clause:
I have a few mintues before I have to start any prepwork/cooking so thought I would drop in and say HI! Although, no one will see this for a few days. Did all the desserts yesterday so just have to do the meal today. I actually made some strawberry jello with bananas, mmmmm, yummy to my tummy. I haven't made any jello in years. But remember having it for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year growing up. Just sounded good to me yesterday. Maybe with that I will stay away from the cake and pies! Forgot that the turkey V got at work is just a small 10 pounder and won't take as long to cook so don't need to start it till about 2-we don't eat until about 5 or 6 so plenty of time. Also, have a 10 pound ham. Anyway...my day's not starting out so good. First I woke to rain and wind, ick! My jaw is hurting and my lower teeth, I've had a stomache ache for three days now, (not sure what that is) and to top it off, I have a killer headache. Not sure if I may be coming down with a cold or the flu but of all days, why today?! Anyway, I'll make it through. Just hope it's better before tonight because I really don't want to miss Midnight Mass. CONNIE~(((((HUGS))))) to you! :hug: Okay, my question is if she started TOM the month before scheduling the surgery and most women are anywhere from 28-34 (I am anyway, for the most part-haven't had TOM since end of Oct) in between TOM why would they schedule her the next month close to the day of her TOM? You would think they would have a clue. Hope your mom gets to feeling better soon and you guys can enjoy the holiday. SUSAN~that would be kind of odd having step-children older than you! My SIL has sisters that are old enough to be her grandmother, not sure what happened there. We had a neighbor growing up that had a sister as old as her daughter. Her parents looked really old, they actually were...that would have been weird too. Calling a girl your age, which was 8, Aunt. Okay, loving the hula skirts and coconut bras! I'm game! :lol: I'll be half way decent looking in a few months and wouldn't mind wearing one! LOL 85 degrees in HI-let's go! MARTI~did ya get everything done that you needed to get done before work? JANE~did ya get your stove fixed? Well, glad you got your table and chairs and hoping you got your stove fixed. Your reese dessert sounds so rich and yummy! ANGIE~I'm picturing Tanner with the black eyes! LOL Kids are funny aren't they?! Gotta love 'em! :love: :hug: Hope you got lots of goodies for Christmas! KATY~enjoy the holiday with your family! Hi to everyone else :clause: I second and third, or fourth what everyone is saying about getting back on track and maybe doing a challenge or something. Like Katy's idea. I am doing good by not gaining but then I haven't lost anything in a while either. So definitely need to get a jumpstart on losing again. And get back to exercising. :blah: :blah: :blah: Okay, so I need to get going. I've been on here for almost an hour and want to go get things started in the kitchen so I'm not left doing everything at the last minute. Take care ladies and have a great Holiday weekend! MERRY CHRISTMAS! :tree: :candy: :xcheer: :wreath: :ginger: :snowglo: :ginger: :wreath: :xcheer: :candy: :tree: |
I fell off the diet wagon. I'm climbing on the excercise wagon until the 1st, then I'm going back to the eating right.
Could you WW gals explain to me WW food & how it works? Merry christmas to you all! I miss talking with you all! EM (ps) Angie: 24"???!! WOW!!!!!!!!! I would've died. No way could I have done that, no way! |
I'm a competitive person :blush:
I would LOVE a challenge! |
