I was busy thinking of my green bean dish and using all my brain cells to be deep.
ugh, does this mean no one is going to read my post? lol
Anyway, I think I will get this Gabster home and get ready for bed. I took tomorrow off because of no school day.
Everyone thinks I am going to take them shopping but I'm not. Value Village is 50% off, that is where I am going.
k- zzzzZZzzZzzzzZZZZzzz,,,,,night, night!

Good evening Ladies,

Michelle you sound like you are on the right track...good for you 9 lbs! :carrot: Don't be shy and we don't have that many rules...we don't expect your blood type or any other info from you....:dizzy:

Ginny, I would of called the son's friend a few hours later,,,knowing he would be passed out. And then every 45 mins after that. I got a bike for christmas but have yet to use it since we have been renovating for well ever. And there is no room,,so it sits full of dry wall dust. DS#1's gf sounds like a cheap woman....and

Jules, I know the feeling about allergies, I am looking like a bull dog,,,both eyes are swollen,,,Im itchy, and with my sensitive skin I look pretty bad right now. Going to go lay down with a warm face cloth on my eyes,,,its the only relief I get. Does the girlfriends mom say anything to the step dad?

Christina, I love that idea of the tattoo! I had seen one similar to that,,,lil white daisies on a green vine,,,very delicate. How about the *chain* being held together with a yellow ribbon, so you will have this yellow bow. I sometimes wonder about people,,,as you were saying about the people complaining about the furniture in houses they are looking at...Im like WHAT difference does it make? I like the show were they have people arguing with the decorator about what they need to do to sell this house,,,one woman was sobbing about how she hated that color,,,,blah blah UMMM you are selling this house,,,you will not be living in this house much longer, you are making it pretty to sell,,,cause man your taste sucks! The house was close to trashed before the decorator was there. totally gross.

Susan,,,what a wonderful mom you are. Did you get your shoes?

Marti,,,*sigh coming from one mother of a young tween/teen to another,,,hair grows, hair changes color easily,,,their attitude in life does too. She will look back in 10/20 years from now and could easily laugh about her blue hair or go why did you let me do THAT?!! But I see it as shes expressing her own style. Which takes courage. So many kids are trying to be the same, cool... and when I see kids doing their own thing I think they have good self esteem. I have told Tanner and Brandon I draw the line on face tattooing or anything that is perminent. Even piercings can be taken out. Brandon has 3 tattoos now, his arm band which I really like, a set of wings on his ankle, and a cartoon turtle on his thigh.

Ellen,,,yay for your furniture! I can't wait to see picks,,,I just know from your style it will be awesome. Go buy a different light fixture,,,give the chandliers to DD...lol I saw the most beautiful light fixture at Home Depot,,,it looks like a big iron worked candle holder. I want it. But it doesn't go with our house style...darn. We are so close to finishing the basement it makes me excited. The guy who has been doing most of the work was sick for a couple of weeks so we were on hold. Ive been laying in bed each night taking all the furniture in the house and rearanging it all. Wish you could come stay with me and tell me what to do.

Jane I hope you are all moved in, and all went well.

better go and rest my bull dog eyes.

I love shopping at Value Villiage,,,people think I spend alot of clothes,,,i really don't. I buy a few things there, and then of course sales...sales and more sales.

Happy Easter and Passover to everyone...a bit late, oh well.

My friend Kathryn emailed me the Desperate Housewives quiz; turns out I'm Susan...it said something about "try to remember you're the grown-up in your family" hmm I think I'm more a cross between Bree and Susan. I'm way more responsible than Susan and I like order, ala Bree. I can let it all go and have fun...so that's probably why I ended up a Susan...but I am not buying the T-shirt, and yes, there really is one.

Had a good Easter, but am ready to buckle down and detox from all the peeps. Can I get in on the Monday weigh ins? I also want to lose about 30..the same 30 that have been dogging me for an indecent amount of time. I'm going to start the Zone today. I have better success with that diet when there's lots of good, fresh produce to be had. I want to stay OP until we go to my mom's for Memorial Day weekend. So here we go....


Have a great day everyone...

Good morning---just finished all my work emails and phone messages from the weekend and thought I'd take a quick peek before moving on to the next task.

Susan--yes, I read your last post and sometimes I feel like I am stuck "in the last chapter" I always try to read everything to keep caught up.

Ellen--Good morning sunshine!!! we need some clipart on this thread--it's looking a little bare.

Christine--one of my coworkers who alos lives in WV with me, just got a contract on their house. The couple is form the DC metropolitan area and just sold their house for $450,000 and offered $249,000 for their house on 5 acres--the buyers wanted to have my coworker & her DH put a warranty on all the appliances that if something happenned that they as the seller would have to replace them. They just made $250,000 don't you think they can afford to buy all new appliances if they want. They said no way--appliances are as is and are waiting to see if the buyer still wants it. Now they are getting a camper since the property they are moving to has only well & septic scheduled to go in this week or next week and then the house will be started and finished quickly(they hope). PS--Thanks for the card!!

Angie--unfortunately DS's girlfriends mother does not defend her but her younger brother does. He just turned 16. Between a prior waitressing job, not living under that roof and my DS telling her she needs to not take it--she is beginning to stand up for herself and be more vocal. She is just such a sweet girl. I am so glad that my DS finally saw in her what I did. Everyone loves her.

Ginny--I know you will be popping in soon so Good Morning!

Marti--Hi to you --hope all is going well

Jane--thanks to you for the card too! How many days until your DD gets back??

Connie--good liuck on your surgery!!

To everyone else--have a great day!! I got to get to work before I get into trouble!!

Hi Katy!! I took the Grey's Anatomy quiz and I am a Christine. I didn't get the t-shirt either!!!

Where can I take these quizzes?

abc.com.....an excellent time-waster ;) ...need to go take that Grey's one..I like that show more than DH

i better NOT be a Meredith - yikes

the only thing you have in common with Meredith is that you both knit and your friends love you......:D

Angie--I was on a Greys Anatomy message board that someone posted on this website in General Chatter--I can't find the link to the character quiz...I'll look some more tonight at home.

Happy Monday ladies!

Took today off to get things done before surgery. Had to call the insurance co. to see if the rehab/therapy place was covered, set up appt. for water therapy, etc. So that stuff is taken care of. Trying to get caught up on laundry & things around the house. :crazy: Have a banquet tomorrow night and then babysit Chloe on Wed. nite so today is my day to get things done.
Had Easter dinner here for my family yesterday. It seems like our group is getting smaller all the time. Kids are getting married & spending time with the in-laws, etc. but that's life. DS & fiancee are coming next weekend to the hospital to see me. DD has to work all weekend & feels bad she won't be able to visit but I told her she could call my hospital room. I don't think they realize I won't be there to socialize & I will be sleeping a lot (I hope) :tired:
I have several people checking on DH while I'm gone. The Alzheimer's is getting worse all the time. It is especially noticeable when he gets tired towards evening.
I may not get back on-line before Thurs. If not I'll be in touch when I get home.

Connie

Good Afternoon ladies...

I was up bright and early this morning, well, early anyway, lol! I'm tanning again (and I need to stop that) and like to get there early when I go and get back home to clean and then shower. Don't like smelling like coconut all day!

CONNIE...my thoughts and prayers will be with you this week. Gonna be a busy one for ya for sure. Sorry to hear about DH, (((((HUGS))))) to you both. :hug:

SUSAN...sounds like you and miss Gaby had a fun time at Wiggles! I remember when the kids were that age and we took them to the circus...the light in their eyes is all worth it and stays with you forever. Did Rachel and Rebecca go too?

ELLEN...where are ya? It's Monday and a new thread and no clip art???

GINNY...have you found the perfect song yet for your mother/son dance? I have been thinking and looking for suggestions for ya but haven't come up with anything yet.

JULES...it amazes me the things people want when putting an offer on a home. You would think the appliance with out the warranty wouldn't be a big deal, especially with the money made. But some people just get it in their mind what they want and won't budge regardless.

ANGIE...hope I don't chicken out on the tat. I think it will look good, just not sure I can sit there very long. But even though it goes around the ankle, it's not big at all.

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Today is the day for new beginnings! For me anyway...I am back to walking again and hopefully I stick with it this time. I walk for a while and quit, then walk and quit...not sure why I lose my motivation. But after eating four brownies yesterday I feel like a oinker! :ink: :ink: But here's a swift kick in the arse...:kickbutt: I needed that! Too much eating this week. With the brownies yesterday and BD cake Tuesday, not to mention eating out twice this past week and candy and popcorn at the movie...well, it's time to stop. I don't know what I weigh but I will NOT gain anymore. I'm going to go get some new weight watchers scales tomorrow and WI then but won't be official until Monday, my WI day. And I'm afraid of what those scales will say. :yikes: :fr: Figure with different scales there will be a different weight. Doesn't matter though...I started walking this a.m. again. My plan is to either go walking when I get up and then tan or tan and then walk at the park. So this morning I got in a 2 mile walk. Will do this M, T, Thurs & Friday, possibly Saturday for the walking depending on what's going on. I've just got to get back on track and quit farting around. So...need to add my miles again. But rather than put April Miles, etc. just going to add Miles Walked. Also, on my third bottle of water so...so far, so good. Anywho...that's about all I have for now.

Take care ladies and have a GREAT Monday!

Cristina--my co-workers house went on the market last September and they received an offer right away but had to wait until the buyers house sold--they gave the buyer six months and the house still wasn't sold so it went back on the market last week with no price increase though prices in this area continue to go through the roof--they had 3 showings and got three offers--the realtor told them that if these buyers don't agree to the as is on the appliances then he will just put it back on the market with a price increase. DD has a anklet tattoo--it's blue roses and the leaves & vine and I think it's beautiful, she also has a turquoise & purple butterfly with a tribal design on her lower back. I have three which can't be seen unless I have on a tank top-a celtic heart on my right shoulder, a moon & stars on my left and mid center of my back is a rose with two locks--DH has the exact same one on his arm--no names for us....
We had the no facial piercings. My son really wanted his eyebrow pierced, but now he says he's glad we said no.

Ginny--I am surprised Cristina didn't come up with the song that my son sounds like is me talking to him---it's called "Simple Man" by Lynryd Skynyrd,
goes like this..
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this, It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.

Won't you do this for me son,
If you can? Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,Is to be satisfied.

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,Is to be satisfied.

Sorry for taking up so much space....

Hey is everyone gonning for a Monday weigh in--should we do a thread for it--like are 21 day challenge????

Okay, I'm back again! :D

Had to come back and thank MaryKate for the post card from Disneyland and the Easter card from Ms. Angie! :thanks: THANK YOU ladies!

ANGIE...as I said...I got it! YAY! :cp: A day late but better late than never, lol! And what you went through to send it makes it all that more special! Hey, when I first went looking for my first tat...I wanted a sunflowers around my ankle but I couldn't find the exact one I was looking for, so I started with the small heart and rose w/Nathan's name under it.

MARYKATE...completely forgot you were headed to Disneyland for spring break! Hope you guys are having tons of fun! Which I know you are :p It's Disneyland, how can you not?!

JULES...omg! I LOVE that song! And while I did think of it, wasn't sure if it would be a good one for a wedding...but it is a good song. And...love Lynryd Skynard's version but have you heard Shinedowns version? OMG!!! Now that guy can sing it and I love it so much more. So much I had DD make a copy of the CD for me just for that one song. There are some others on there but that one is the best! You know, they say once you get a tattoo it becomes addictive. I have been wanting another since I got my first one on my left ankle. Just a simple rose & heart with our baby's name underneath. DS Josh, the one in the Army has about 5 tats and even DD has one. She wanted one forever and I told her no, not until she is 18. So for her 18th BD she finally got a butterfly with vine like thing across her lower back. Her butterfly is purple too! Here's the one I am thinking about http://tattoo.about.com/cs/tatart/l/blheatherankle1.htm then I saw this one and I like it too: http://www.primevalink.com/images/P1010001dawn.jpg Anywho...geez, three offers! I would love to get one! We've had so many people look and they say they like it but it, but say it is too small. So, we've already decided that if we don't get an offers we'll just let the contract run out and stay here. We have things that we have been wanting to do and then decided to sell. Kind of having seconds thoughts now. So we will just wait and see what happens. I think your co-workers were being generous in giving the poeple six months to sale.

Well, I got on to thank the ladies for the cards and sit and eat my lunch. For some reason I was wanting a tuna sandwich from Subway and that is what I had...on honey oat bread. Not sure calorie wise if that is a good choice or not but it sure tasted good! And I don't eat chips with it so that counts doesn't it? Well, better get going. Was going to go color my hair and do another load of laundry. Haven't colored my hair in about 6 months I think so it's time. Ta ta for now ladies! :wave:

P.S. forgot to say...a Monday WI sounds good to me Jules. I've been weighing in on Mondays for a while now. Whadda ya say ladies?

Hello Ladies.......

Had a good weekend. Didn't do too much, went a got Jhanai for a day so she could have Easter Dinner w/us. Now she is back home and James left for K-Falls this morning....I'm all alone w/all this left over food!:yikes:

Angie--Jhanai's hair look pretty cute. I didn't mind that she got her hair colored at all. I knew she was going to do it. But to do it before picture day?? What really got me was...it was her dad that did it for her, and that he didn't even think once about having it done before picture day. I'm mad at him really. At least it's cute on her. It's multicolor blue.

Susan--Why did everyone think you were taking them shopping?? We have a Kohls here that just opened a week ago. Jhanai has been wanting to go and check it out. So we're doing that next weekend.

Jules--Tattoos.....Good thing you didn't do the name thing. I did that and regretted it as soon as I did it! But it's covered now and I will change the look someday.

Cristina--I'm so looking forward to going on vacation. Just to get away from everything here!! Although, I've been reading and hearing how SF has had Mudslides and earthquake watches! By July it'll probably be so darn hot!! Must pack accordingly!

Ginny--Your bike looks nice! I would love to have one but would have no where to put it! I've been wanting a treadmill but for the same reasons I haven't. W/the gazelle, I can fold it up and put it up against the wall.

Michelle--Glad to see you posting more. About other threads...don't feel bad. It was probably something that they had started as a group, and wanted to track all weightloss so far from that group. I'm thinking that they wanted you to sign a bio and join them so you could be part of it. Congratulations on the weighloss so far!!:carrot:

Ellen--Your clipart is nice...too bad Easter has come and gone...what is the next holiday that you'll be putting up?? Time sure is flying by and it's got my head spinning!!:dizzy: Wish things would just slow down.

Connie--My thoughts are w/you!!:hug: Hope surgery goes well and that once you're out you heal quickly!! Not a fun thing to go through. Just take it easy once you've had it and pop in when you have time, we all understand.

Katy--You know, I have never tried a peep. I'm not a marshmellow fan (unless its melted) and so I have never tried one. The idea of a sugar coated marshmellow......really doesn't sound good. (are they?):D

Hello to everyone else!! Hope you had a lovely weekend.

Well it's pass noon, I have a kitchen full of dishes that I left from yesterday...knew I'd regret it today but left them anyway! And I still need to get on my gazelle.

So I better get going.

Have a great day!

well good afternoon ladies,
I will try this again. I just had a semi long post I was working on when poof I pushed enter and it disappeared on my... so now to try and remember what I was saying. Fat chance of that happening. So I'll just wing it..

Jules, thanks for the song but I found one. It's call A song for my son, by Mikky Viereck and the words are :

I don't know where the time has gone, Since those little boy days
Doesn't seem that long yet here you are, it's your wedding day
And there's one thing darling I'l like to say:

Chorus:
Be kind, be sweet, be a gentle man
Care and share and always be fair
And remember though you now have taken a wife
You will always be my son, my loving son

You filled my life with so much joy
As I watched you grow from that little boy
Now Ill try not to cry
As you walk away
And just once more darling I'd like to say

chorus
It's sung two ways, I am going to get the country version. It's really quite pretty and makes me cry everytime I listen to it.

Connie, good luck with your surgery on the 20th. Just do what they tell you and get all the rest you can. Our prayers will be with you. Post when you feel better and let us know how you are doing.:hug: :goodluck:

Mindee, bet you had fun with the boys yesterday. Holidays are always fun when there are little ones around. I enjoyed watching my grandkids.

Marti, how is your walking coming along?:running: I missed riding yesterday,:ebike: company was coming and going all day, but I'll be riding again tonight and I did 8 miles on Saturday. Also I am getting more walking at work now.

Jane, are you all moved in? Did you take all your stuff with you or buy new? That would be such fun. Did you guys build from scratch or put up a pre finished house? I can't remember what you said.

You girls and your tatoos. I don't know how you can do that. My ds #3 has two of them. I told him not while he was under my roof, so as soon as he joined the Marine he got them. One is a yin yang on his shoulder, the other is a the Crow on his shoulder. My ds#4 had maroon hair when he was just out of high school and working at Wal mart. He came to breakfast one morning and his hair was the same color as his bathrobe. I looked at him and asked him if he went to bed with his hair wet? He said "no, why?" I said I thought your bathrobe ran. NOt another word...he kept it like that for about a year. then his brother got married in Calif. His dad told him if he wanted to go to the wedding, he had to go with natural hair... he's been natural ever since.. They all go thru something at one time or another. When you say blue hair I think of little old ladies with blue hair..

Well, I weighted in this morning as I do each morning and expected to see an increase but my scale was still at the same number. so yesterday didn't do any damage.:goodscale I'm glad, now I can just carry on... I drank about 6 glasses of water today, so that is good. It is getting quite warm at work with all the sunshine. So I will be drinking more. Only thing is when it's so hot in the greenhouses we drink a lot but we don't have to use the potty, we just keep hydrated...

Ellen and Susan. tsk tsk tsk... putting off the weigh in...;)

Hi AngieOk, well I forgot most of what I was going to say in the first post but I seemed to have filled this one up pretty good. If I think of anything else I'll write more later.

Have a good evening everyone.

Ginny

Well, we have had plenty going on in our house! The boys had a great Easter! Logan had a blast with Tommy’s uncle. He had given Logan some of his scotch to help with his gums. It worked, because today looking in his mouth, his bottom gums are so swollen and it looks like four teeth are going to pop through. On the way over to his cousin’s house, Brandon was trying to get our attention. When we finally were able to look back, Logan’s car seat had some how come unbuckled and he was laying upside down on the floor while he was still in his car seat. So yesterday was not a good day for Logan. Saturday was not a good day for Brandon. He had fallen a couple times, and got a good boo boo.

We got back home yesterday because Brandon had his two year check up today. He is doing great! He is 30lbs. and 32 ¾ inches tall! The pediatrician was asking us how he was doing and what he was doing. We told her that he is into everything, and she said “good, then he is a normal two year old then.” She asked us if he was understanding what all we told him and we said yes. She asked how he was doing with learning things, and we told him that he is constantly picking up on things. She said “good, then his vocabulary will pick up in no time.” She told us to start teaching him colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and animal sounds. He will already point to body parts if you ask him. He won’t point to them on himself, but he will on who ever asks him.

Then we went to Wal-Mart to pick up some things. Brandon had gotten some birthday money, so I took him to see what he wanted to buy with it. He picked out a book called “It’s potty time” and it has a toilet that flushes on it. His pediatrician asked how he was doing with the potty and we told her that he will sit on it and if you ask him if he needs to go he will run to the bathroom. She said “that is great! Don’t try to push him on it though or you will end up with a toddler that wants nothing to do with potty training.”

We have to take Brandon back into the office next week in order for him to get a lead test. That can be done in the pediatrician’s office without an appointment, so we will be back there next week. I have to call the health department to make Logan an appointment to get his 4 month shots. I am hoping that I can get him in before we move.

Cristina~ Sorry about mentioning the “p” word. We are moving next week, so we more or less have to figure out what we are going to wear and what we are not so that we can “p” it. The weather has been nice. But now it is back to being regular Michigan weather.

Those tattoos are nice. I want another one but I am not sure what I want to get. I know that I need to add my grandpa’s initials to my one tattoo. Now, I am thinking of adding both Brandon and Logan’s initials to my other tattoo.

Ginny~ Brandon had a blast doing the egg hunt at my cousin-in-law’s house. Logan had more fun with my hubby’s uncle.

I'm new here ladies so I'm just trying to find out where I'm supposed to be and what's the most recent 'chit chat'. Is this one for Monday? Will we be on #180 tomorrow, Tuesday?

Not much to say yet - just looking around. See you all tomorrow.

Good Morning Ladies....

Cristina--Is that the tattoo you have or one like you want?? Very pretty. I like the idea of a charm type anklet. (we're talking tattoos aren't we or is it an actual anklet?? Boy...I must be sleepy because I'm really confusing myself)

Ginny--I started doing my gazelle more so I haven't really paid too much attention to my walking. Next week I go to my new hours at work. Plan on going to the gym afterwards and start walking and doing weights! Really looking forward to that.

Mindee--Sounds like your boys had a great Easter. Lucky Logan didn't get hurt more w/the car seat not being buckled correctly. How scarey!

Michelle--Well too bad for the other thread for losing you and hurray for us!!:D I'm the same as you on tattoo's. People are always shocked when they see my tattoos. I don't display them. They just happen to see them when it's summer and I wear cooler clothes. May have to post a photo of one of them.

Eileen--Hello and Welcome!! This is the most recent chitchat. When the post reach up to 50 we close it and start a new one. It helps out the ones who have a hard time loading up the pages. Come join us when you get a chance and tell us more about yourself!

Hello and good morning to the rest of you!

I have a tiny NSV to share. Kind of silly but you know.....I walked away proud!

I really...and I mean REALLY wanted to have some chocolate from the vending machine today. Even had change in my pocket going" gingle lingle ling!" But I chose not to get any. And the change is still making music in my pocket!!

Pretty please w/myself!:^: Takes little steps to get to where I want to be!

Ok...off I go to get some sleep! Pulled a muscle in my next and it aches!

G'night ladies!:hug:

Good morning ladies,

Eileen, welcome.:wel3fc: Glad to meet you and looking forward to getting to know you.:welcome3:

Marti, how long do you do your gazelle at night. I've been doing 45 minutes on my bike,:ebike: but I think I may drop it to 30 for the next couple months, as I come home so tired already plus I'll be getting more exercise at work. How many miles do you do at a time?

Angie, how's it going? When is this show going to be happening that you are doing the costumes for?:belly:

Jules, how are the wedding plans coming along for you dd? The ones for my ds are falling into place nicely. You have a problem with your not so dh that is stressful, we have one with the bride to be's father too. Her parents are divorced and he is a real nut case. He has alienated himself from both girls and the bride to be won't be having him walk her down the aisle, she don't even care if he shows up,, but that is our fear. That he will show up and cause a scene or two...:crazy:

Jane hope you had a nice Easter in your new house.

Christina, there must be a reason why you are to stay in your old house. Things usually happen for a reason. How is Josh doing? How did his knee ever turn out? My Josh's back is better. But the school he is interning at refuses to help with the medical expenses. They said they'd go broke if they had to insure all their interns, and the college he is attending that sends him out on these internships says the same thing.. it's a real racket. :stars:

Hello to Connie, Michelle, Mindee, Susan, Ellen, Katy and everyone else.:wave:

Is anyone here taking anything for prevention of bone loss, Like Actonel, Foxamas or any of those? If so, how do they make you feel? I too Actonel last year and it really made my esphogus act up so the doctor had me try Boniva, which you take once a month as Actonel is weekly. But just one pill of Boniva had me filled with hives for 2 and 1/2 months. So he put me back on Actonel and it's only 6 wks and I am having same problem.. just wondered if anyone else experienced this too.

Well, I suppose I better finish getting ready for work. Have a good day all and will check in later.:comp:

Ginny:carrot:

Good morning all,

Ginny is there another med you can take,,,cause for sure i wouldn't want to be taking those...yikes. May 1st Aladdin opens up, right this week the cabaret opens,,,was there really late hanging lights.

Marti, I think thats a great that you can hold off temptation.... the ex should of known better to color her hair day before. But you will have pics to prove he wasn't thinking!

Eileen you are in the right place,,,as Marti said at 50 posts we go to the next number 180...but we will post telling you we have moved over.

Michelle, tell me again what you are doing to have lost 9 lbs? And how long have you been doing what ever you are doing ?

Connie, good luck with the surgery.

Christina, I love the heart tattoo, and the other one can be modified to what you want! I really like your idea of getting charms.

Jules,,,ya I have to go over and check out those quizzes,,,how is your allergies? Does antihistamines help? I still look like a bull dog,,,eyes are so itchy,,,grrr
anywho gotta take a bit of a nap before going to work

Ahhhh, GINNY...I like that song! And just when I found two for ya! I'll post them anyway. First one would be like from a mother to son and the second son to mother but both are nice.

The Man You've Become

Big wheels, hot wheels
Little trucks and cars
Skinned knees, climbing trees
Wishing on the stars
Moments may be lost somewhere in time
But the sweetest memories are never left behind
Now you've grown so fine
And come so far...

CHORUS
I'm so proud of who you are
The man you've become
Thrilled to share your deepest joy
To know you've found the one
For the great things you will do
I'll be blessed 'cause you're my son
But I'll always see the boy
In th man you've become

School days, sleep-aways
Driving all alone
Phone calls, shopping malls
Late coming home
It was hard to knwo when to let you spread your wings
When to let you go to face the challenges life brings
But you've grown so fine
And come so far...

CHORUS

Brought tears to my eyes hearing that one. :cry:

In Your Eyes

When I look back on my childhood days
I feel so blessed in so many ways
You gave your love with every smile
with every touch
Somehow I knew that you believed in me so much

In your eyes I'd see
A special love for me
In your heart, the trust, you gave so easily
All that you inspired
Kept me reaching higher
In your eyes I'd see
The man I was meant to be

A dream came true when she said I do
You smiled at her-itwas then I knew
That your blessing will be ours for all our lives
Your faith in us is shining in your eyes

CHORUS

You gave me roots that run so deep
You gave me wings to fly
I've never thanked you half enough
As the years went flying by...

CHORUS

Hey, maybe you can have two songs!

Anyway, gotta run real quick but wanted to post those for Ginny & son. I'll be back in an hour or so to do individuals.

Hiya ladies, :wave:

Just a note to tell you I'm back!! We're moved in... I'm totally exhaused, but everything looks nice. The internet guy was here today, and I get my tv satellite tomorrow. The telephone was supposed to be turned on yesterday, but because of some bad storms, the phone company is running behind. Thank goodness for cellies, right?

I'm headed off to read what you've all been up to while I've been unloading boxes. Hope you're all well and had a happy Easter.

:hug: <--- from me to each of you. :)

GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...da49y8m64d.gifI am sorry I went AWOL yesterday , I tried so many times to post , every time I would start , the phone would ring , the doorbell rang, the kids came separately, and at the end of it all I was to pooped to post :lol: I see everyone was chatting up a storm without me, funny how everyone comes out when I'm not here :( :lol: It is such a pretty day today, sun shining birds singing funny buzzing sound , oh wait that's in my head :lol: never mind. I see everyone had a wonderful Easter Weekend and that's great to hear.:hug:

EILEEN http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...da49y8m64d.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...e1/sign2-1.gif Looking forward to getting to know all about you.:hug:

HI GINNY..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...da49y8m64d.gif Just to clear things up, I put off my weigh in for Susan's sake, out of the very goodness of my heart :lol: didn't sound much like her diet was in tact over the weekend :lol: I did have one small chocolate marshmallow easter egg , but I am pretty sure that didn't put to much of a dent in my diet. I have osteoporosis to Ginny I am still on HRT but that will end after the next two months. My doctor has been putting off ,putting me on some of those drugs , but once this course I have been on is over I know she will be prescribing one of them. I have heard of those side effects, and it always scares me to think what if I can't take them , what happens then. :?: I hope your Dr. finds one that is compatible with your system :hug: I will let you know what happens when she starts me on one of them. I have a bone scan due, and I don't look forward to the results of those, I always continue to lose bone:( and it scares me, that I don't seem to be doing enough, even though I try. I am surprised to hear all the interest in the tattoo department, but no one commented about the tattoo I wanted to get :lol: I have no tattoo's just in case you wondered :lol: Glad to hear that you didn't do any damage on the scales , always a good feeling isn't it. I hope your having a wonderful day.:hug:


HI MARTI....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...da49y8m64d.gif CONGRATULATIONS , you won out over the vending machine,:lol: I know exactly how it went down to , he stood there standing tall and majestic, lights on , taunting ,laughing , pulling you in , just when he was sure he had you , you stuffed him , wait a go Marti :lol: Kids and their hair , mine went through more the blond highlights, which wasn't to bad, a few pink for my daughter, nothing I recall in the crayon colours though, although plenty of kids that came through my house did. :lol: never really bothered me much, things come and go , phases come and go, as long as they do eventually go. I do understand about the pictures though, but for her it will mark a phase in her life when she looks back and goes, I can't believe I actually dyed my hair blue :lol:and no doubt by them your will be a nice light shade of grey blue, and you will respond by saying, I think it looks nice dear :lol: I hope your having a nice day :hug:


HI MINDEE...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...da49y8m64d.gif Sounds like things are extremely busy at your house , so happy to hear everyone had a nice Easter. The boys sound like they are growing fast , are healthy , happy, and that's the most important thing. I hope you are having a great day.:hug:


HI CRISTI.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...da49y8m64d.gif I don't blame you for wanting to stay if something doesn't happen soon, its really hard to have your life on hold for such a long period of time. The summer is coming and I am sure there are things you will want to do. Its not like you have to move right now anyway ,you have a beautiful house, and nothing might happen behind you for years. I know that what ever you decide , it will be the right decision for you and your family.:hug: Just think how much more relaxed your life would be without the constant intrusions:D I hope you are having a wonderful day:hug:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...1/Sfence9a.gif

Welcome Eileen (!!!!) and where is our Ellen???

I was sick yesterday. Must have been something I ate - haha. So, sick. I was in bed most of the day until 3 pm when I remembered VV and had to get tp the 50% sale.
Gaby and I went and I picked up some cute sweaters for her. I didn't even look for myself because looked like most of it had been picked over and I was weak and about to faint. What I do for that girl. She saw a 7-11 and of course we have to stop for a slurpee all the hot dogs on display made me wanna barf. Gaby sipped on the slurpee at VV and gave me the rest, so I sipped on that. Course I should have realized she wasn't done with it and started howling when she realized I finished it off. *sigh* so back to 7-11 we went........by now I am about to pass out. Sheesh.....
Went and paid my power bill and picked up some soup for dinner. Went home and did a load of laundry. Had the soup and Gaby and I went to bed. lol
I woke up at 11 pm and went and finished the laundry.

Anyway, that was my day yesterday.

I still haven't gotten my shoes, I will today or tomorrow. I just haven't had time!!!! Get off my back Ang!!! lol

Marti- The girls thought I would take them shopping because thier dad said I would. He always thinks I have money and no bills to pay. lol I hate when he does that. I bought Rach a $28 tee shirt and Urban Outfitters . Stupid.....Gab and I get everything from VV or Goodwill - the girls have to go to the mall. Rach didn't go to school today becasue she had no clothes to wear. Which is BS, she has a whole stack of jeans and tops.

anyway, now I am steaming, I better get to work....lol

Ginny--my DD is sadly getting divorced not married & here's hoping that DS porposes to his wonderful girlfriend!! What a nice song you picked and that Christine found you another good one

Katy---I just went to the www.abc.com website and did a search for the DH character quiz---it says that I am Edie!!!! Yikes way worse than your being a Susan or your fear of being a Meredith!!!!

Angie--Thankfully the leaves are all almost on the trees so I am getting better--still have the puffy eyes and sneezing once in awhile.

Mindee--I miss having young ones around!!

Michelle & Eileen--welcome to both of you!!

Marti--NSV are just as important and don't you forget it--changing habits and overcoming the tempatations are what give us the other!! People are shocked that I have tattoos too.

Jane--Welcome back

Ellen---You are so loved--everyone misses you and your colorful clipart!! Your posts always make me smile!!

Susan--my DS was a goodwill/thrift shop buyer and DD is a clothes horse that never has anything to wear!!! She still is saying she needs to go through her stuff again when she gets time--she's not taking any summer courses to give her self some peace with the impending divorce-work-school she hasn't had much!! Give the maintenance guy a wink for me!!!

Hello to everyone else!!!

Back to work for me too!!

Katiecat - thank you so much for the post card from Disneyland in CA. In 22 days, I'll be at Disney World in FL. :cp:

Question to you gals in Canada - did you get your Easter cards from me??? I mailed them from the Walmart mailbox a few days earlier than the ones to the girls in the States. I mailed theirs from the post office. Anyway, someone said they don't pick up mail at that box anymore, so now I'm wondering!! Please don't make me go back to double-check the posts. :dizzy:

Wow - too many posts to catch up on!

The phone company still hasn't made it here, and I'm getting irate about that!

Talk to you tomorrow.......

Just a quickie here for now.. Jules I am sorry, I must have you mixed up with someone.. ok ladies, who has a daughter getting married this December. I know someone does..I am so confused.. I need help... Trying to get things ready to open on MOnday, and I just feel so tired and it just isn't fun anymore... it is just plain lots of hard work.... I am ready to retire... wish I could...now I have a bunch of stuff to do before tomorrow so I'll checklater.

Hi Ladies :wave:

V (DH) called and reminded me that I had planned on getting new scales today, um, I forgot. So went and did that really fast. Was too excited about other things I simply forgot. I went and did it! :o Okay, so it's not bad...I joined It Figures! :carrot: It's a place like curves, just like Curves to be exact. I have been going there to tan the last couple of years and have wanted to join but the thought of facing others while I work out didn't do anything for me. Well, I weighed this morning and did not like what I saw. I am up to 201! Double :yikes: :yikes: Enough is enough so while tanning , well after tanning, Charlotte (the lady who owns the place and is a friend of DS) was talking and asked me if I was still walking, etc., etc...so I just did it! And that has put me in such a good mood. Just the thought of doing something good for myself has made me feel really good. I told her I need a swift kick in the butt! She said she wouldn't do that but would encourage me. Anyway, will start that tomorrow. And...I've had 3 bottles of water so far today and a mile walk. May do another later...we'll see. Anyway, so now I need to redo my ticker and start from today's weight. Of course when I weigh on the new scales it may be higher, or it may be lower, we'll see. I'll weigh on the tomorrow but won't go with an official weight until Monday morning.

MARTI...yes, it is a tattoo I am speaking of, but it looks like it could pass for an anklet. I'm torn between those two tattoos. I found the heart one and really like it. Lord knows I've had my heart broken enough times through the years, and mended so that one really caught my eye. WTG on your NSV! :carrot: Doesn't it feel so good?

GINNY...my Josh is fine. His knee has almost completely healed, thank goodness. I was worried for a while, especially when he mentioned surgery. Glad your Josh is fine as well. That's terrible that the school/internship won't cover at least some of the costs. It's hard when they don't have insurance and the hospitals anymore demand being paid. They won't turn you down, but they sure bill ya!

ANGIE...I've having a hard time deciding between the tattoos now. I'm leaning towards the heart. :dunno: But now, where to put it. I think I forgot to thank you for the picture of the boys, wow! They sure have grown since the last one I saw. Well, that's the first I saw of Brandon, but Tanner...looks so big. I think he looks a lot like you too! You have two handsome lads there missy!

MICHELLE...there was a time people looked down at people who got tattoos but I must say things have changed. There are some that still do, but I think it is more acceptable now days. And the age range of people who are getting them now too has changed. WTG on our weight loss again! :bravo: And...I LOVE Leslie Sansone's WATP videos & DVD's! I have two or three, can't remember. I know I have one and two and thought I had the 3 mile one also. Or maybe I was looking to buy the 3 mile one and haven't found it. :dunno: I am going to have to look now. I use those though, and I walk on the treadmill or at the park. Weather permitting, I would rather be outdoors.

HI & :welcome: EILEEN!Glad to have ya aboard and looking forward to getting to know you!

ELLEN...it is hard having your life put on hold. V and I were just discussing this Sunday. I told him are we supposed to just quit living in the hopes that we sell? Well, no. So, I bought another tree for the back and put flowers on the deck. That's about all we will do for now. But we will continue with our plans we had if we don't sell. Heard word today that the people who looked at it Saturday morning, well, it was just the wife-her DH was out of town. Anyway, she said she liked it but...it's priced too high for the area. :lol: I have to laugh at this one because apparently she hasn't done much looking in the area. Her realtor told ours this and she probably wants to look at it again with her DH. So she liked it and if they do look at it again and place an offer we know what she is thinking already. Anyway...I'm not letting it stress me out anymore! And yes, Missy, where were you yesterday? I was lonely here.

MINDEE...I hope the boys are having a better day, poor little guys. I hate to see them get booboo's. Here's a hug for them from me :hug: Okay, you can say the "p" word, lol! And it looks like Brandon is gowing, yay! :carrot:

SUSAN...where have I heard that before? Hmmm, oh yeah...I think I have said it a couple of times and V just looks at me like I am crazy. Of course DD has said it also, has a closet full of clothes like her mother and still says I have nothing to wear. Hope you are feeling better today.

JULES...I too miss the kids being little. When I found that song for Ginny, I was listening to it and the memories were playing in my head. So many good, cute memories. Hope your allergies get better soon. I've actually done pretty good this year so far (knock on wood).

KATY...going to have to go and do the test and see what it says about me. I don't watch the show often but have caught it a few times since DD loves it!

JANE...good to see you back and hear that you guys are all moved in. And thank you for the Easter card, can't remember if I thanked you or not. ;thanks:

Jeez, I hope I didn't miss anyone. Hard trying to catch up sometimes, and go up and down to make sure I didn't miss something or someone. Which, I am sure I have. So...

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Guess I better get going. Still have a load of laundry to dry and make my bed. I took the sheets off to change them but then sprayed the mattress with Febreeze so was letting it dry and air out. I need to flip them but can't do it myself so will wait until I change the sheets next. Or just leave the bed un-made until V gets home, which will be late. Also, gotta go change my ticker and print up some of AOL's calendars.

Take care ladies and have a wonderful day!

GINNY...that's Ellen's DD getting married in December. I know how you feel though, it gets confusing sometimes around here. And hard to keep up!

MARTI...this CD that I got those songs off does have songs for DD's too! I am going to order the CD for "when" and "if" one of my kids ever get married. I'll go find it for ya and post them tomorrow. And yes, Martina McBride has the DD song which is nice also. I LOVE her music!

Okay, really gotta go now. Have a good one ladies!

Poppin in before I hit the showers!

Did 30mins on my gazelle. Was watching tv part of the time and listening to music the other part!! Was glad that the half hour was gone!

Jane--Loved the photos!! Very nice home you have. How does Neil feel about it now that it's finished?? And does Mary want to switch houses again??:D

Ginny--I got confused on whose DD was getting married too!! What's happening on Monday?? See I you probably mentioned it already and here I'm asking!! Hope you get some rest...you sound tired.

Cristina--The heart is a cute one. At first I wasn't sure why you would want it, but now it makes sense to me. The question on tattoos is always the same for me...where would I want another one??? I have one on my back and one on my leg. Where would I put another one??

Ok....needing a shower like you wouldn't believe!!:D

Chat w/you all next time!!

HI CRISTI....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...kbbbifesli.gif I tried so hard to get to you yesterday, but between the doorbell ringing , the phone ringing , the kids popping in and out, I was as I said to pooped to post :lol: It was one of those days when you have nothing inside to work with. I did a lot today , believe it or not, I finished painting the cupboards, the island , I put a couple of coats of polyurethane on the counter tops and I freshened up the seats of my chairs with a fresh coat to. My neck is sore and I am covered in paint, I don't need to go for highlights now, I have some nice white ones in my hair. :lol: Yay Cristi for joining a fitness gym, good for you, now remember you actually have to go now :lol: I used to go with my daughter, but she has a membership with her sweetie at "White Oaks" doesn't that sound posh :lol: well its to expensive for me. She said she would try it for a while , but would rather go with me to our usual place The passion pit, :lol: ha ha got you there I bet, no just kidding, we might try curves though. Good for you not letting the house situation get in the way, life's to short , when the right person comes along , you won't have missed a thing. Isn't that a song :lol: I don't want to miss a thing , I love that song, used to make me cry all the time, so I stopped listening to it.:lol: Now to the tattoo issue. if you are leaning toward the heart Miss Cristi, there is only one place to put it, on your sleeve, or under your sleeve , but on your arm where your sleeve would be , if you wear sleeves that is :lol: what did you think of my chip tattoo, no one , not one person commented on my chip tattoo , I am so offended :lol: I let out my inner desires and nothing , Nada :lol: I just heard that my house that I sold before moving here just resold for one hundred thousand dollars more than I got for it, ouch that really hurt, what a difference 5 years made :( Oh well it wasn't like I had a choice in the matter, just life throwing you another blow. I like my little dwelling, I miss my gardens at my other house, but maybe someday, I will get to doing the same here, as I did there. :) Well I hope your having a wonderful night, relaxing , reading a book or just hanging out with the family :hug: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ci7cqwhxp6.gif


HI SUSIE Q .... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...kbbbifesli.gif .http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...y1q9kxigas.gif
I hope you are all snuggled up in a blanket watching a good movie, or sleeping. Night Susan:hug:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ci7cqwhxp6.gif

HI MARTI.... .http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...kbbbifesli.gif I could see the whole encounter with the vending machine in my mind :lol: One thing I did with my kids was pick my battles, things like hair and clothing trends never really bothered me, I was always concerned about the real dangers out there for them. I fortunately never had to deal with anything like drugs or drinking , I counted my blessings everyday for that. Both my kids are grown now , and I can only pray that the rest of their lives turn out well for them. Jhanai is just going through what all kids go through and if blue hair is the worst of it, everything will be fine :hug: I hope your having a great night.:hug:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ci7cqwhxp6.gif

HI JULES.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...kbbbifesli.gifThank you that was very sweet of you to say.:hug: I am happy I can make you smile. I hope your Daughter won't feel to bad when your Son proposes to his Girlfriend , do you think she will be ok.I know the world doesn't stop for one broken heart but I do feel so badly for her, I'm sure she is so heartbroken right now and you are for her. Its such a tough thing for anyone to go through. It will be her time again, even though I know she thinks it will never happen. It is my daughter who is getting married in December, and as a Mom yes I worry, even though she is marrying a wonderful young man, I just read a funny saying , about wonderful young men, and how they all started out that way. :lol: I can only hope and pray.:yes: I hope you are having a nice night Jules
and :hug: to you and your daughter :hug:

HI GINNY.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...kbbbifesli.gifIt was my daughter who is getting married in December, Its hard keeping track of everyone and their kin :lol: It sounds like you are a little , or a lot stressed at work, how long till you can retire. I think you need a vacation, come on over to my house, and we can sup tea, and watch old movies :lol: It doesn't have to be tea, anything your little heart desires is fine with me. I hope you are getting some rest , chat tomorrow :hug: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ci7cqwhxp6.gif

Logan went for his 6 month check up today! He is 17lbs. and 26 ½ inches long. There is only 6 ¼ inches between Brandon and Logan. And 13 lbs. between them! She checked out Logan and said that he looks great! She asked what he was doing development wise and we told her, she said that he is right on target for his age. She also said that he is doing things now that he isn’t suppose to do yet. He goes next Tuesday at 1:15pm for his four month shots since he was sick when he was suppose to get them. We also have to take Brandon into the pediatrician’s office for a lead test next week. She asked if he was starting to get nervous around strangers, and from what we could tell he wasn’t. She leaned in and started to exam him, and he got nervous with her! She also took a peak in his mouth and said that all of his teeth are in the gums, now just the wait for them to pop through. She also checked Brandon’s teeth yesterday and said that he has all of his teeth including his molars in the back.

We will be going internet less as of next Tuesday. So, I will try to get on here before then to post again. If not, then I won’t be back on here until after we move and get hooked back up with internet. Hope it won’t be too long!

Michelle, Ive been told that women who have had hysterctomies gain weight,,,which scares me,,going on my second month since surgery.
I don't think there is anyone in here who has any thyroid issues...

Marti, Im doing costumes for Aladdin, Im taking tons of pics for this show. My LAST one...then Im taking up blacksmithing!

Christina, I love both tattoos,,,infact I may end up stealing your heart one too! Why not right? We are so similar in everything,,,we drive teh same vehicle! lol I was watching Miami Ink the Kat special,,,I told everyone here that when I loose 100 lbs I want a tattoo done by Kat. Brandon's tattooist is fantastic,,,similar style to Kat. Told him he should buy his grandma a tattoo for her 60th...lol

Jane, Im so glad you are all settled now...and hopefully the phones will be up also. Katy will be so excited to be coming home to a new place. Yes THANK you for the card,,,I wanted to wait till you were back to thank you.

Jules,,,I feel and look horrid,,,allergies are killing me. I scratched my eye lid bad last night while i slept. Both eyes are swollen,,itchy,,,throat is itchy,,,Im cranky. My stuff takes a good 3 days to really kick in,,,on an average allergy day,,,this is extreme right now,,,took Benedryl and it makes me all tired...which enhances my cranky mood...I know what your thinking,,,wow I sure wish i was hanging with her right now...she would be alot of fun...lol
oh ya i am Susan,,,,from Desperate Housewives. I can't believe that,,,thought forsure Bree.

Anyways need to get to bed...hello Ellen and Susan,,,did you notice you both posted at the same minute? You guys are spooking me.

GOOD MORNING LADIES
What a beautiful day it is , the sun is shining so brightly, birds and squirrels are as happy as birds and squirrels should be :lol: It feels like it is going to be a beautiful day weather wise and hopefully everything else will follow . Yes I fell out of bed this morning ,my eyes were so itchy I thought I was going to dig another eye socket :lol:, so I thought it best to get up and put some nice cool water on them instead. I made my coffee , put another coat of polyurethane on my counter tops and headed upstairs to my computer and here I am. I think a lot of us are suffering with allergies right now, miserable things aren't they.

HI ANGIE.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Sbirdnest3.gifI had a hysterectomy at 27 years old , I don't think you have to worry about the weight gain , it didn't affect me at all, I didn't have a weight issue up until the last few years, and that's a good 23 years ago. Angie get my chip tattoo :lol: no one likes my chip tattoo idea :?: :lol: Oh by the way what were you doing up so late last night. I take reactine, affects me the same way, if I plan on getting anything done in the day, I can't take it.:( I'd hang out with anyways, we could be cranky together.:lol: Where did you get that quiz from I want to take it, see who I am like.:chin: I hope you have a great day today Angie.
HI MINDEE.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...Sbirdnest3.gifI don't like being internet less , its like being naked in front of a mirror, ewe :lol: yes it is that bad :lol: Once you get settled , everything will be back to normal, you will be so busy you probably won't even miss me :lol: miss it :lol:It sounds like little Logan is catching up to his big little brother pretty fast , time to get started on the next one :lol: I'm kidding :lol: Kiss the babies and I hope you have a great day.:hug:
