Pull up a chair and make yourself comfy!

Ok, new thread! yay. 2o oz's down so far on water and I am STARVING!!!

Better get. LOVED the kitty picture Ellen

((Cristi)) I always enjoy reading what you write Cristi. I don't have anything new to say either but that doesn't stop me from my dribbles

chat later....... I really need to go to the bathroom!

Hello ladies!!

It was a total Jhanai weekend this weekend. She has been sick for the last couple weeks. Spent her entire Spring Break ill. She has an inhaler to get the medicine to her lungs. Anyway.....I just spent my weekend holding her and cuddling on the couch. She never got out of her jammies!!

Ok you all had a busy weekend chatting. Good!

Michelle--Hello & Welcome!! I am also from Oregon, but a couple hours south of you, Katy, and Susan. Hope you enjoy or neck of the woods. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Katy--Let's trade yards!! Yours sounds so pretty and relaxing! I really need to tend to it this year. James and I are going to try and kill off the weeds and plant grass. Need to have a real lawn!

Jules--So what tips can you give us for getting more organized?? I need to get more organized here at home. Seems like I get it cleaned up well enough.....just don't organize like I want to.

Angie--Onions would be great to grow...carrots on the other hand, don't grow well here. They always tend to be these rinky dinky things. I have never tried growing them myself, but my family has. Would like to have a huge herb garden just outside my patio door! Fresh herbs would be great!! And they're a lot easier to tend to I've heard......any suggestions?

Jane--Tomatoes might be one I grow. At least a cherry tomato plant! Love popping them in my mouth once I pick one. So how far is your house coming along??? I didn't realize it was done enough for you to line cabinets! WOW!! That's fast! I'm comparing this to my sister who had her house started in August....and still hasn't moved in or is close to moving in!

Ginny--I'm still walking...just not as much. And I haven't been wearing my pedometer at work lately. I plan on clocking my mileage more when I change shifts. I have a workout plan that I want to try once my hours change. I'm hoping w/the change...I'll have more energy and feel more motivated to do things!

Susan--Cool pictures of the park! I'm thinking that you and Katy must live near my sons family. He lives in Portland and you all share the same zip code! Your blueberry pancakes sound SO good!!! I need to make some. Gosh...I haven't had blueberry pancakes forever!!! (drooling here.....)

Connie--Sorry to hear about your back! But if the surgery will releive the pain.......Will be thinking of you and your husband! Lots of hugs your way!

Ellen--Good for you on the diet. What are you doing anything in particular?? As for the cheesecake your DD is bringing....I say at least have a couple of bites of it! That way you got to taste it and you won't feel like you're depriving yourself of all good things. You know...I'm going to have to have you find me a cute clipart for my advatar!! You have such pretty ones in your post!

Cristina--I would love to have yellow and blue in a kitchen!! Sounds bright and fun! Right now, my kitchen is green. I like it, but I think I want something brighter.

Hello to anyone I may have missed!! Really hard to keep up w/you all.

Ok....my hubby is wondering why I've been in the computer room for so long...told him I need to catch up!

So time to go spend time w/him.

Hugs to you all!

JANE...a big THANK YOU for remembering us today. Not sure how you did it but the timing was right on, I received your card today. I appreciate that you always remember with a card.

Sorry this is short ladies, just not having the greatest day. Will be back Wednesday some time to do individuals. Had to add the newest smilies though---so cute! I need a kick in the butt! And here's one for you Ginny

I just drank my 60 oz's. I am so glad only one more 20 oz. to go! I hate going to the bathroom all the time!
I had a cup of hamburger stew that I brought from home. I made it yesterday with V8 juice. I also went to the store and bought a stuffed tomato with tuna inside. I don't even like tomatoes but it looked good, so I ate that along with an apple for lunch.
I am so tired, I just want to go home!
Marti - How is Jhanai today? Tell James you are chatting with us! Rocky went and got Kris from the mountains Saturday night because he wasn't feeling good. Like a 60 mile trip both ways, the next morning Kris calls at 7 am wanting to do something. Grrrrrrrrr. lol
Cristi - Sorry you are feeling out of sorts, not like you! I hope you are feeling better
Cute Gaby ism. Last night I was laying on the bed with Gaby and Mr Jingles. Mr. Jingles was being annoying fluffing his tail in my face. I was talking to Rocky on the phone and he likes to hear Gaby talk so I asked Gaby " do you have a tail? " and she looked behind herself and said " I don't have a tail, I have a butt"......it was the cutest thing.

k- back to work!

HELLO EVERYONE

How do I look in my new exercise gear , pretty good if I do say so myself Somehow I think I got that start date wrong though , I think I said the 12 and Wednesday is the 12 and today is the 10th, and its today I started, unless I eat the Cheesecake and then start tomorrow ,that would be the 11th , so the 12 would be wrong regardless But so far to day I have done a mighty fine job.
HI MARTI....I decided this is it, its now or never, I need to get myself going and there is no time like the present am starting on a chicken fish veggies a little fruit and salad diet for starters see how that goes. I have done that before and it worked out really well till I blew it I think I should invest in a punching bag and when emotional stuff gets the best of me I will just beat the crap out of the bag instead of me Sorry Jhanai hasn't been feeling well give her big hugs I am looking forward to getting my garden looking beautiful to, another reason I need to get into shape, its a lot of work .I can exercise while I cut the grass to , since I have a huge yard to cut. I hope you are doing good Miss you not being here to much.

HI CRISTI....SORRY you are not feeling yourself, I hope everything is ok. maybe all the stress you have been dealing with is getting you down Don't worry I will cheer you up , I will if you let me I'm glad you liked the rug, now I hope I can get it. I have to call the carpet place tomorrow and give him the item number and get the price and details. Its bright , but it will fit perfectly I think , there is a little bit of blue in the couch to, so I thought it would all tie in nicely. I am trying to pull some of the colours from the living room into the kitchen. I think I will make the curtains out of one of the fabrics in the couch ( there are 3) there is yellow ,pink ,green, blue, red, and a little taupe if I remember its been so long since I have seen them and I lost my sample .This Saturday is the date, they come, was supposed to be 2 weeks ago but there was some glitch so I had to wait. A lot of the accessories I had will work in the new colour scheme because of the many colours in the fabric, I am happy about that because the red hurricane lamps and candle holders I had my daughter gave me for Christmas and Birthday, and I definitely wanted them in the room. How is the house situation going, or should I ask. I hope all is well with Josh , I know that is always a worrisome situation for you I hope you are feeling better soon its not the same with out my Mrs Cristi.

You can do it Ellen...put down the cheesecake.
Susan when I first read your post I thought it said 2 oz down,,,was thinking hmmm that is gonna be one llllllonnnng day! only 78 to go!

Marti when do you start your new dept?

Im tired,,,slept funny and have sore neck. Can't look to my left. Monte is really sick...high fever and I want to take him to the Dr. but hre refuses....grrreat.
Work was insane, the computers crashed again, that means no breaks...I thank goodness brought snacks,,,chopped veggies.
well I have to go to a meeting tonight...theatre.

Talked to the surgery scheduler today & my back surgery is set for April 20. I never thought it would be this soon! Soooooo many details to take care of ahead of time. My head is spinning!
I had promised to take Chloe to a local production of Beauty & The Beast but now I won't be able to. I am so disappointed. I'll give the tickets to my daughter & she can take her then they can come to the hospital and tell me all about it but it won't be the same. It was to be a "grandma" thing. Oh well at least she will be able to see it.
Just wanted to update you on what is going on.

Connie

THE CHEESECAKE IS GONE....SORRY GIRLS I TRIED A COUPLE OF BITES COULDN'T STOP .But the good news is , its over I did put it down Angie and it was good. Aah my sweet daughter waited to see if I liked the one she picked for me, they changed the ice 4 times to get it here in good shape, what could I do she even phoned me on the way home to make sure I liked it. I ate really light today , not that it allows for cheesecake, but I kind of knew the way today would go.

HI ANGIE...Sorry to hear about your neck, that hurts I know, when you can't turn your head even. Sorry to hear about Monte, I hope he goes to the doctor,(Men sheesh ) and is feeling much better soon, if I told him to go do you think it would make a difference
HI CONNIE.... WOW that was a quick surgery date, doesn't give you much time at all does it, it will be over and done with before you know and you can start to feel better soon
Umm SUSAN... You can have cookies , cake and pizza tonight I won't mind.

Hi ladies,

No I am not cheating on another forum... I had a very stressful day yesterday, I saw the surgeon in the afternoon, had to run some errands, my car was making horrible noises, had to stop and get it fixed so I could get home.....and a few other things I don't wish to speak about...by the time I got home I had a migraine. I felt so bad I didn't even ride my bike. So tonight I'll have to see if I can get in an extra mile to make up for it.

I don't have anything to say this morning, I have to get going early. I have to walk to work this morning. Usually ride in with dh but he is going on a delivery later this morning, and the van is so full there is no room for me or my dog... yes my dog goes to work with me everyday.. I am a midwestern red neck. What can I say.

Will catch you all this afternoon. Have a good one.

Ginny

Good morning all,

Ellen, when I said put the cheesecake down I didn't mean in your belly! I keep looking at the cat and thinking is that Ellen in a fur suit? Shes drinking beer,,,probably to help wash down the cheesecake.

Ginny, all man you had a Manic Monday.... hope your day goes better today. If I could take Skittles to work with me I would. I personally know it would help with stress,,,,but then again it might add to it since shees not a people peson and I would have to worry about her biting someone from work.

Connie, wow that is fast...and your going to have how long of a down time? How long in the hospital? Thats too bad about Beauty and the Beast. One of the theatre companies is doing that and I want to go see it.

Well the neck doesn't feel as stiff, Monte sounds a bit better, yet I didnt' sleep well, with listening to him. My meeting went well, all in on plan.
I ate chopped veggies all day....
After work I have to go and copy my PI id and DL, seems my PI boss landed a huge contract and needs to keep me on, but I was tough when I said noooo surveillance jobs anymore. Im holding out for the big case..
anywho need to get showered and off to work...*sigh I sure miss being a princess.

HELLO,HELLO. No, I have not been cheating on the group. I couldn't even stay online to try to cheat. LOL. Computer troubles again. I am using DH's laptop and I do not like it. Two nights ago I wrote out nice long individuals and my computer "timed out" which it has never done. UGH.

Yes, I am supervising the new house. Actually it is going great. The foundation will be done today and then the framing will begin. I am getting anxious about selling our house now. It is scary to think it might not sell.

I know there are several on here that have been or are ill, having surgey or loved ones having surgery. My thoughts are with all of you. My dear Mom is having surgery on Fri. and has had a rough 6 weeks. I will be with her at the hospital as long as she has to stay. She, of course, thinks she is coming home the next day, but I am unsure. She is having a bypass of an artery in her groin.

I have been close to OP..and even walking as I should. So far the winter weight has come off and I am back to square one. I AM drinking and pottying lots..no problem there.

Ellen and Susan...I would like to lose 30 pounds with you two.
I have a turkey breast cooking....yum.
