Hi Michelle--it's not quite as short as my dorothy do, but it doesn't reach my shoulders. It's longer in front and more layered in back--that makes no sense to me and I am a visual person....I have gotten several compliments.

I though I had posted earlier but when I came back it wasn't there and I have gotten kicked off sometimes too......I don't have the answers...

Michelle - There isn't a timer! If there was I would have been kicked off eons ago! lol Maybe in time you would feel comfortable meeting up with Katy & I? Maybe in the summer? I am trying to work on my social skills, you would be doing me a favor :D

Cristi- The resident was HORRID - terrible attitude! He sat here for an hour talking about his Meds and I wanted to scream I can't take this anymore! Causing me stress!!! I have 1 daughter in Rehab! 1 in suspension!! and 1 that is bawling me out for not buying her a slurpee!! lol Geez, back off.....and to tell me my flower is going to die....I KNOW that but can I ENJOY it today?? lol

Jules - Co worker! We don't get a long. We all know this but we are going to court and he shuts our pocket door and sweet talks her on the phone. She has been excluded from the building and is mean, mean,mean. Co worker is suppose to share with me what he does in reagards to the building but doesn't. He mumbles hello and that is it. I should go sit in his office and force him to share with me! My old boss came in yesterday and said "you're not happy??" and I almost started to cry.....*waaaaaaa

anyway tomorrrow is Friday!

back to work!

:preg: Isn't that the cutest smiley? It was a pregnant one. Cross fingers (or legs) I will never use it. lol sorry.....I shouldn't say improper things.....it is getting late in the day.I want to go home!

:cookie: Did someone mention cookies?? lol Hi Suzanne!:) Hope you are having a super day!!

Hope it works Michelle!

Katy - How is your son? Hope the temp went down!!:dance:

Angie- You around?? I have this out of body :yoga: experience that you are. Or maybe I just wanted to use that smiley?? lol Anyway, wherever you are HUGS.

Where are you Laura & Mary???:scooter: Hope you get here soon. I know you have to sign up but can't be that hard!! lol

Ginny - hope you are having a good day!

Susan--do I have to come out there and talk to you about the birds and the bees!!! No talk of babies when ex husbands are winking at you and maintenance men are looking good!!! Though my maintenance man is mighty fine and very handy around the house!!

Michelle--there are alot of Fit Day users on this site and I think I am going to check it out too. I told my friend/coworker with the diabetes about it since she needs to track her carbs.

Well, hubby is feeling neglected--gotta go!!

Hello, hello....
J's temp was 99 this morning and he woke up spoilin' for a fight....so I know he feeling better:D I still need the results of the 48 hour throat culture, but I'm not going to call for those 'til the a.m. If he does have strep, his period of contagion is over, so that boy is goin' to school - YES! I need to get to Value Village and pick up some warm weather clothing... too many cords and sweaters in my closet.....

Michelle and Jules - I've used Fitday and it's ok.

Susan-you should show up at that resident's door with a lovely bouquet tomorrow - just to cheer him up.....haha
Watch out with that pregger talk - friend of mine is 41 and now preggers with an "oops"....it ain't over 'til it's over. They are happy about it, but were in shock for a little while.

Jules - I think you and I are the same age...I've been through all those hairstyles..ugh. Now, I just had a bunch cut off and it's a bob with bangs - very much a wash-n-go mommy 'do


Cristina - I love Earl and the Office, too. I just can't stay awake for them most of the time. I don't watch much tv these days, but Thursday is the night. I watch Survivor, and tape American Inventor. Then if I can stay awake, Earl and Office.

Ok - gotta run DH is home
Later

Evening!

Jules - Silly girl, everyone knows babies come from the stork - not the birds & the bees. I will come out and visit you and we will do some girl talk :) lol

Katy - Gaby was my oops baby-lol I don't know if I get a second one. The older girls would flip out if I turned up pregnant. The resident is very sensitive. I sat there for an hour listening to him and finally I had to say "I need to get to work" he looked sad and said we use to talk more.......poor thing. With my shorten (6 hours) hours I just don't have time to give an hour a resident, we have over 300.lol

Spoke with Rach tonight and she sounded great. Her father had bought some new shirts for her in the missus section and she said she couldn't wear them because they were too old looking. So, I went back and bought her some more. Sheesh.
I had this rice/veggie/chicken dish for dinner.I got a mile in - yay.

Night Cristi!,Night Ginny!,Night Michelle! Night Lurkers!

Mary & Laura - Sending a search and rescue tomorrow :)

Chat later!!

Hi ladies...

I am pooped! And sleepy...this getting up at 7 am is for the birds! Anyway, got to see My Name is Earl and The Office...love those shows. Then had some folding to do and here I am finally. I know when I fall into bed I will be out in five minutes, probably more like 5 seconds! Zzzzzzzz....oh sorry.

Michelle...hope Suzanne helped with the problem. I have no clue about computers, cookies and such. And haven't had that happen to me. Now AOL is a whole nuther' ballgame!

Katy...glad James is better and can go to school. Can you believe it's almost over for the year?! This year definitely went by way too fast! I watched American Inventor a couple of times and it was funny! I can't ever remember when it's on but I am usually busy cleaning the kitchen at 7-7:30, sometimes as late as 8 like tonight. Very late dinner.

Susan...hope Mary and Laura find us! And glad Rachel is doing well. You know my first DH used to try and buy me clothes. Some of it was old womanish...I was only 22, 23...and the rest was always like 2 sizes too small! :yikes: I had to tell him I appreciate the thought and especially you thinking I am so tiny but this ain't gonna work anymore! That was after 1 kid and I gained 20 pounds. Still wore a size L-XL but he was buying smalls! LOL Loved that man! I miss him a lot to! And who mentioned preggers?! :nono: I think it's the water that does it ladies. I mean after all we have had 4 babies born on this tiny little cul-de-sac in the last three months! Either that or someones hubby gets around, lol! Kidding...WTG on getting a walk in! :run:

Jules...I think your son has the right idea...Earl is a beer drinking show! And it's funny. I love the brother and crabman. Well, Jaimie Pressley is good too! She plays the part perfectly!

Well, ladies...time for me to hit the hay. I usually don't go to bed until 10 and fall asleep sometime between 11 and 12 but tonight I am tired. Been this way for the last few days. Nighty, night!

Good morning ladies,:yawn: :coffee:

Don't think I have jumped ship if I don't post to often, but I am working 7 days a week for the past two weeks now, 10 hr days. So time in the evening is pretty tight for me. I still get my 5 miles bike ride in every evening,:ebike: but that don't leave much time for much else. Laundry, dishes etc. still have to be done too... but I'll try to read the posts as often as I can so I don't get to far behind.

Susan, glad Rach is having a better time of it. :hat:

Men mean well, but they don't have any idea about sizes. My dh gave up trying to buy me clothes after the first few years of marriage. I always had to return them. So now he sticks to jewelry, that is always the right size...:)

Michelle, I looked into Fitday. It will help me keep track of my calories, but it's not going to be all that accurate. They don't give you much selections. Like this morning, I had scrambled eggs from fresh eggs. That isn't even an option on FD, they have scrambled eggs from dry eggs. Or they have scrambled eggs, with sausage hash browns etc. frozen meal...they have several choices of that..like come on everyone doesn't eat frozen meals all the time. I am a fresh from scratch cook. But I'll try to use it for a while see if it helps anyway. I was surprised to see cake under eggs. If you have a piece of cake are you suppose to take it apart by ingredients to see the calories...? if so I don't think I'll ever eat cake again....well maybe sometime.

My dh always gets up early, like 5:30, 6, 6:30 somewhere in there.. he usually wakes up around 4 or so and lays in bed a while. He has trouble sleeping. Most of the time he wakes me up, not intentionally, I don't think anyway..but once he gets up I usually fall back asleep for a short time. I am up between 6:30 and 7 everyday too. I am a morning person, if I have had enough sleep. I have been sleeping better, course I am exhausted by the time I get home now.:yawn:

It is cloudy out again today. We never did get the rain and storms they called for. But it may rain later today. Who knows.

Well, nothing much to say. I'll check in when I can.

Ginny:carrot:

Katy--a couple that are friends with my mom from her church have a daughter graduating college now, a son just finishing his freshamn year at college and a 2 year old--talk about oops!! I am glad your son is feeling better!!

Susan--Rach sounds so much like Teri, Teri is still so picky about her clothes and everything has to match just right and heaven forbid you get something that doesn't fit just right or it looks like something somebody "older" woudl wear. Teri's getting a little better but she is still picky. The girl has at least 25 pairs of flip flops in all different colors and heel height(most are cheap Walmart bin type) along with dress shoes (had to have a different pair each dance to go with the dress) sneakers, and boots. She did say to me the one thing that is good about not being with her ex anymore is that she can wear heels again. He was only slightly taller than her and didn't like her to be taller. One of the many little controlling things I am still finding out. The more she thinks about it and talks with me and her friends she is realizing that he was very manipulative and controlling without being in your face demanding so it didn't seem like it to her at the time. Her divorce hearing is May 25. The ex and his Dad (who was never nice to her) are coming down from Philadelphia, I am taking all day off to be with her, hubby is coming home at lunch time to be there, her old friend since 8th grade is coming and her new friend from college will be ther too. Her Dad says that the ex and his dad better not try to get smart with Teri or he may end up in jail--he joked that at least the bail bondsmens office will be close. The ex is terrified of my 6'2' husband so I am pretty sure we will be okay.

Crisitina--My son has a whole collection of Jason Lee movies..Mall Rats, Chasing Amy and I can't remember the rest. They also watch the office though they play video games through Will & Grace.

Morning Michelle!!

Well I am going to drink a cup of coffee, hit Slim-n-tone for a workout, go to work for a few hours, stop by the vet for some doggy pills for Levi's allergies and off grocery shopping and the library---boy, I am thinking about going back to bed after just typing it all out loud!!

HI Ginny!!!! Sorry I missed you!! I would bet this time of the year you are extremely busy. Try to remember to take sometime for yourself!! Jewelry is always good!!

Good Morning!

Have to get Gaby to the sitter, just wanted to say hello!!!

Catch up in a bit.:)

:fr: I am back!!!Scary, huh??? lol

Hi Ginny! That is awesome on the 5 mile bike riding! It would be nice to walk more myself. I guess my problem is I open it up to an option and it isn't. lol Should be walking more!:woops: Would be wonderful to have you more to chat with :cofdate: but will accept that you have a life! lol


Jules - Hey! I saw the clothes that the ex bought Rach and really not too bad. One shirt though was a 1x, I might keep that one- if I am losing it will get roomy fast enough. I could wear it now though - :chin: have to think about that. I picked up some clothes that weren't acceptable that I had brought earlier. Some Happy Bunny PJ's - what could be wrong with that? She can't wear tank tops because she can't shave her arm pits with an electric razor:blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: so, we had to buy short sleeve or long sleeve and with summer coming there was no long sleeves to buy:blah: :blah: :blah: Anyway, I will call her tonight and see what she thinks of them. See her Sunday! Didn't you go to work today?? No fair!:rollpin:

Michelle Hope you have a nice time with your family today and a good lunch:hungry: . I made myself a turkey salad from home and brought that and I found 2 apples in the fridge for snacks. Ain't I good?:encore: I will probably blow it over the weekend - lol.

Cristi ugh.....getting all teary eyed talking to you!! :stress: Hope you are having a WONDERFUL Friday. Hope you pamper yourself and remember what a sweet lady you are and how much I appreciate you. You have been a wonderful friend to me in the last 2 years. I nominate you for saint hood:preg: oops.....wrong one:judge: ok, close enough.

KatyHow are the kids?? How is Leigh?? Gaby can't wait to make a new friend tomorrow!:dance: It will be great to visit with you too :)

Better get! Chat later on today!

Good afternoon ladies...

Not feeling so great today. Woke up with a headache, backache and a tickle in my throat that won't go away! Feel like I am coming down with something but not sure where I would get anything. No one here is sick.

GINNY...at least you are keeping up with your bike riding. I missed my exercise yesterday. Spent too much time here and then trying to play catch up with the house work. With throwing two errands in between. It's cloudy and gloomy here too. Rained some before I got up and is supposed to be this way tomorrow too.

MICHELLE...oh, DH doesn't wake me up. We both have our own clocks and I hardly ever even hear his, or him getting up and in the shower. I will hear him leave sometimes. Now when the kids get up and moving about I do hear them. Their bath is right next to our bedroom and for some reason that shower (the pipes) are loud and annoying. Just not been able to sleep for other reasons-too much on my mind. Hope you have a nice day of shopping and lunch with your DD.

JULES...that's us. Our son would have been 6 this year and the other three are all in their 20's, yikes! (22, 24 & soon to be 26!) Only he wasn't a surprise, definitely planned. Have a nice day shopping and at the library. I bought a couple of books yesterday thinking maybe it would get me into reading again.

SUSAN...Hope you got Miss Gaby, the slurpee queen off to the sitters. Or should I say she is the slurpee princess and you are the slurpee queen? A slurpee actually sounds good right now...would feel good on my throat.

Well, not much planned for the day. I usually go to IF on Friday but didn't feel up to it so walked the treadmill (2 miles) before getting in the shower. Straighten the house, get a load of laundry done and then get the wedding gift together and take to V so he can give it to the bride and groom. They are a cute couple, some odd things on their gift registry...a womans bike, the game twister, a swimming pool, two flat screen tv's and a bunch of little kitchen gadgets which is what we bought for them. I wanted to stray from the list to get a better gift. But...since they have lived together for a couple of years I don't know what they have...I don't even know them, more of acquaintances. Anyway, they are headed to Corpus Cristi for a week for their honeymoon. Aaahhh, to be young again. Anyway, chat with ya later!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT Friday!

Hiya Susan!

I was too busy posting my mini-novel didn't see ya there. Sainthood, no way missy! You are the saint and the one keeping me from losing it. But THANK YOU and I appreciate you too and all you do!

Give Rachel hugs from me. Sounds like she is doing better and I am happy to hear that. Eeewwww, can't shave her pits though, that has got to be the pits! :lol: She is sweetie and so are you!

Hi everyone!! Love to read what all of you wrote! New to this site and enjoying every minute of it!

:coach: :coach: :coach: :coach: :coach: :coach: :coach: :coach: :coach: Member Reminder!
MONDAY is WEIGH IN day!!!! 3 days to go!!!

Welcome Fenix! Monday is weigh in day. That is where members strip naked and run around their home - do a couple cartwheels when the scale comes in site. Hope you are ok with this? Cristi can show you how it is done.lol
jk


So happy it is Friday!

Hahahaha Susan! No way, you show how it is done! :lol: And I couldn't do a cartwheel if my life depended on it!

Ah, the dreaded WI day! I am afraid after this past week to WI! :yikes:

I too am happy it's Friday! WOOHOO!

WELCOME Fenix!

Ok so do I post my weight on this page? I subcribed to this thread should I subscribe to another page also?

Fenix
No you just want to be with us Fenix. :) Kidding - you can go anywhere on the site, some wondeful groups and topic's - hope you stay here though!
Saw the picture of you and your child , very cute!
I have a 4 year old daughter myself.

You don't want to show her how to do cartwheels Cristi?? lol I have never done one......we will have Gaby and Leigh show everyone.....

k- heading for lunch!

Deborah--Welcome--If you and Susan want to do cartwheels to the scale--have at it--I have never been able to do one...we actually just post our weight loss (or gain...yuck) I have been stuck at 0 loss for the last 2 months!!! I love "the Phenix" so cool...I want to get a lotus flower tattoo on the botton of my back when I get to goal weigh or at least to 150. Similar meaning to the phoenix rising.

Susan--no I didn't end up going to work today , hubby and I were going for a ride after I got back from exercising, library, vet & grocery store but I just got here (all groceries away) and he's getting ready to leave with a friend to go put a windshield on the friends bike so they can ride with us tomorrow. Today day would have been a good day to catch up since the crazy coworker who talks all the time and listens to your conversations from her booth would not be there. My DH did not believe that she listenned in until yesterday. Our friend Becky called me, there used to be a Becky that worked with us..I call me husband to say that Becky called to give him a message for both of us and the coworker jumps up and ran over to my booth while I am on the phone with DH and says "Becky called...how is she...did you tell her about our other coworker that is out after her diabetes attack"...He says he will never doubt me again.....

Cristina--I actually would have had a 16 year old too if I hadn't miscarried. I hope your feeling better. I just finished Sandra Brown's "Chill Factor" it was pretty good, I got a few others but couldn't get into them. I got one today on conquering clutter--now if I can only find those papers from the "how to get organized" seminar I went to.....

hi Ginny & Katy!!

Wow when I loaded the pic of my son and myself it said it did not load! Strange. So how do I find you all for the weigh in? is it this same thread? Does it have a name or is Back In Kindergarten #1 the name of the club? Sorry very new here.

Fenix - After you do the cartwheels and weigh yourself come on into the Kindergaten thread (it might be #2 by Monday btw) and say if there was a loss that week.
This will ......#1 inspire the others to lose themselves or #2 make them really jealous of you. lol I am JOKING. We do have a weekly weigh in for those who want to sahre. You don't have too!! :)

I saw the pic , he is a cutie!

Jules - Hi :) Co worker and I took a stroll to see our new office space. It is huge and maybe I won't hear him chatter to his sweetie so much. He needs to keep his dentures in more securely though because his lisp is annoying me now. .....tsk, tsk...one thing after another! lol

Question: Would you like threads to stop at post 100??
:drill: I am not trying to be bossy,but I like order!:drill: and think it would be easier to read.
so TROOPSwhat do you think?? :coach: Discuss,debate.....talk among yourselves!:blah: :blah: :blah::callme: :boxing: :gossip: :blah:

Jules, Break time! I was going to say I was wide awake at 3:00am. I haven't slept all night in awhile. This time though I got up and cleaned. I did 2 loads of laundry and mopped the floors, took the garbage out. There had been a terrible stinking smell when I had gotten home that evening. Turned out to be a 2 gallon jug of milk that had been sitting on my counter for days. Don't know how I missed it there. Good thing I didn't give any to Gaby haha. I finally went back to bed around 4:30 am.
Mr. Jingles (our kitty)came out of hidding after 2 days. He had a blue lollipop stuck to his tail. The same lollipop that Gaby had been sucking on. Poor kitty, I had to cut it the lollipop off.
K- Break time over!! I am a really slow at typing. So, was there a reason you stayed home? I think that is great.

What are your plans for the weekend??

Back again for a few minutes...

SUSAN...100 sounds good to me! And I love that new smilie :boxing: look at this one :whoo: at first I thought it was cute but the more I look at it...it looks kind of nasty. Next time you can't sleep...come on over to my house and clean, lol! Funny, the last like week and a half I have been waking up at 2 a.m. weird...funny about the kitty and the sucker. Wouldn't have happened to be a caramel apple one would it? Our Ernie dog loves those as does DD. When she has one, he will jump in here lap and try to get it. How's the new office? Too bad the boss is a dummy with dentures. That has got to be awkward. But the gf can't come in right?

JULES...sounds like you are/did have a nice day with DH. Wish DH had and liked motorcycles. Had a boyfriend years ago that had one and I loved riding it. I haven't read Sandra Brown in ages. She used to be a favorite until I discovered Janet Evanovich and Catherine Coulter. I bought one of John Saul's books and the other I can't remember who it is. Need to finish Marley & Me. I love dogs! But I almost picked up Chill Factor to see what it was about. Maybe next time.

FENIX...looked everywhere for those pictures and couldn't find them. Would love to see you and you child.

HI Ginny, & Katy! And Mary & Laura if you're lurking! :wave:

Well, Ms. Susan, about this weekend...nothing special planned. Tomorrow is supposed to rain and Vince is working so will just stick around here and play on the computer, clean house and read. Sunday we will be doing yard work and possibly some painting. That brown mustard in the kitchen is looking horrible to me, ICK! GAG! Looking more like nacho cheese! So we are going back to the green, something I like and can live with.

Cristi - I want to go home!!:rollpin: This is the loooooongest day. It is so nice outside :flow1: Speaking of which....kind of funny....my sunflower died - lol
How weird. I almost think co worker (he likes to think he is my boss but we are equal :boxing: ) did something - like put it by the heater...I can't prove it but I know he did something!! lol......whoa......lets go for a drink Cristi! I question everything these days.....lol
ummmmm.The office is nice.We won't move over til the end of the month. We will still be together but the room will be sectioned off for our own space. I almost rather have the front office by myself, though it's not as big.I might ask......I just need a hole to survive in....lol.No, the gf can't come around.....I will tackle her if she does,,,,,,bf will come to her defense and his dentures will fly through the air...... I am sure they will hurt someone really bad....at least I hope and he gets sued and goes to jail......lol
I don't think the lollipop was carmel/apple. I think it was just apple....or kind of tasted like kitty litter, not sure......haha

You think 100 post too??? Cool, votes over!! lol - jk....chat later. Deb has her pic back up, isn't she pretty?? We are so good looking in this group. :)

Trying to be nice and sweet ...not working
 

Cristina -Ok Cristina I got my aviator to change and this one has my son and myself on it!!!
Susan - Thank you so much I think he is a cutie too!! I think he looks like me :p
I was having a problem at his school this week and I went up there ready for a fight because of another child in his class picking on him . This child had the entire class tellimg my son that he stank and had bad breath :mad: My son was in the hospital a few years ago and becauseof all of the meds it staind his front teeth kinda tan/brown. Well this child messed with my child about it soo much that it began to effect his self esteem. So my husband and I had his teeth whitened. If you had seen the fase he made when he saw his new white teeth it was worth every penny I paid. Well the 1st thing he said to me is "Mommy I am gonna show all of my friend that my teeth are not dirty (thats what that lil creep was telling him every day) any more" Well he went to school and came home very upset!! :?: I was a bit confused cuz he was looking forward to showing his friends. He said well I showed then and (childs name with held) said infront of all my friends that my teeth were still dirty and that my breath stinks :tantrum: I was ready for murder then. I talked to him and told him that we would have to pray for (rude kid). I went up to the school and spoke to the director of the school and she said she had met with the childs mother because of a similar incedent. Guess what mother said/did? Director said she glared at her as if she were lying and made the whole thing up. SAid she then said "BOYS WILL BE BOYS"
What the heck kind of responce is that? My son is in Pre K !!!! 5 years old!!!! This is way to young to get a complex about yourself!!! I was sooo angry! THis is a private school that I pay $500 a month for my son to attend and I feel more needs to be done.
Cowinky dinky - Director just called and said that they spoke to childs father and that parents of rude child are getting seperated. Is this an excuse? No. Said that they explained to him that this is a private school and if his behavior does not change he will not be accepted next enrrolment. Victory? No I feel bad for the child but I think his parents need to deal with his anger issues.
Sorry for the long post! :(

Hi ladies,
Just a quick post here tonight, I forgot to bring the days invoices home so I have some extra time this evening.. no big deal, I 'll just get them in the morning and post them tomorrow...nice to be my own boss.

Hello and welcome:welcome: :welcome2: Debbie, can we call you that or do you prefer Deborah? Or Fenix.. nice picture. What a terrible thing to happen to your little boy. I would be steaming too. There is no excuse for someone so young to be so rude, doesn't sound like he gets very good training at home. :nono: Why was your little guy in the hospital? Hope he is ok now.

Christina, hope you feel better. Not any fun being sick.

Ahhh Susan, how do you know what the lollipop on Mr. Jingles' tail tastes like? Eeewwwww... :rofl: :barf:
You girls have been doing lots of posting.. I agree 100 is time to change.
My screen keeps flashing at me.. not sure what is going on.

At work today I had to repaint a sign. It was in the mid 50's but the wind was from the north and cold.. I had to stencil it upside down.. turned out pretty cool though. Tomorrow I'll have to paint the lettering. Had to change the sign to help the customers find the right building to come to.. We have two driveways, one for the wholesalers to use with access to the main greenhouses, and the next one for the retail side which is handicab accessible and more spacious. But there is always someone who will drive up the wrong driveway, block the loading area and then come in and complain about having to climb the little hill and step etc. I want to just slap them.. and tell them if they could read they would have come in the right way. I used to have patience with people, nowadays everybody bothers me... I am getting old and crotchidy. IF that is a word...:tantrum:

WEll, going to go ride my bike :ebike: and then call it a day and relax with hubby.
I hear you gals on the getting up during the night and not being able to get back to sleep. Last December I was up decorating my tree at 3 am.. couldn't sleep. Then went back to bed around 5 and the others were surprised to come down to a decorated tree.:tree: They didn't know I had done it... It's all part of aging ladies.

Ok. I'm out of here.. There is that little bunny again. He is running rampart around my yard. He looks the madhatter... going in all directions.

Night all.:yawn:
Ginny:carrot:

Back again for such a quick moment. I forgot to say something.

Michelle, do you actually use Fitday? I started it yesterday but I am done with it already. It doesn't have any real foods on the list. Everything is from a frozen meal or product with a number etc. I wonder why it just don't list simple foods, real foods... what was the other place you mentioned?

Ok, gone again...have a good night all.

Ginny

Ok- so I took the kids to Baker and Spice and bought some lovely little treats...then came home and was reminded of the expletive-deleted WEIGH-IN...I had forgotten and I ate some absolutely sinful carrot cake....and a bite of DS' flourless chocolate cake...and...um...a little bit of DH's german chocolate cake. I did leave him some of the carrot cake...not a total piggie here. I worked some of it off in the yard today. Getting ready for the cow poop.....I mean composted dairy manure. Ordered a unit, so all that hot,steamy goodness is destined for my driveway on Tuesday. Hopefully it will make it onto the beds before Christmas :yikes: Ginny - you're the expert....I have had the best results with this as opposed to bark chips or mushroom compost. My plants are looking great and I didn't have nearly the weed clean-up this spring as I usually do. Ginny - you are so right about the insomnia - for me it is very much due to aging...even though I am a "young" 40...hee hee. I find that cutting out sugar ( not today, obviously) and regular exercise help my sleep habits a bit. But then there's TOM, then all bets are off.

Deborah - what a cute little boy. My DS is 9.5 and my DD is 4.5. Sorry about what happened at school. Sounds like the school was right on it and that's a good thing. I have a high-energy boy and I always hated it when people would write him off with "Boys will be boys" inside I would just scream, "NOOOO" how's he supposed to learn how to communicate if people keep saying that to him? Hopefully the little bully's parents will catch a clue and put his needs before their own as they move through this tough time.

Susan - see you tomorrow...Let's hope this great weather holds. 100 posts sounds good to me. So far I'm not having trouble loading.....

Cristina - your weekend sounds lovely. I am hoping for James's health to perk up. I've been stuck at home with him and the errands are piling up....Tomorrow DH is on duty so I can break free for a bit....They are getting haircuts and going to as many comic books stores as they can stand because its Free Comic Book day ( it's a national thing, so yes, even you gals could get free comics where you are)

Michelle - well, I am a sahm, and I am stuck at home with a sick kid, so I have been on the computer more than usual. Good thing, since I forgot all about WEIGH-IN....aack. It's Friday, I can get it together before Monday, right? Thanks for the pm earlier... guess I have to watch my ps and qs around here. I apparently referred to a website that 3fc does not want promoted, so they edited my post. It's a little unnerving as the site I mentioned is a free one for members, but it is advertiser supported ( like this one) and I think the mods don't want this site to become a forum to advertise. It used to be a fee site, which is why I figured it was getting flagged by 3fc software; but they don't want it mentioned even though it is now free. Ok -- now I know.....

Jules - the cartwheel thing cracked me up..back when I was in TOPS everyone would show up to weigh-ins wearing the lightest possible clothing and, of course, we all went to the bathroom before weigh in and...and took off our shoes...and jewelry.....mmmm what else. Love those weigh ins

Spoke too soon about the son...we thought he was good to go for school today, but his temp spiked last night. So he was home again today. The throat culture came back negative, so that's a relief. The nurse said if this fever doesn't go away by Sunday that we'll need to bring him in. DH is going to take Leigh swimming tonight ( Family Fun Night at the Community Center) James and I will watch the American Inventor we taped last night...and that's all folks. I will stare at him alot and will that fever to go away...beware the power of Mommy

Have a great evening everyone.

Hi ladies...

Thought I would pop on for a few minutes before heading to the bedroom. Usually go in there around 9'ish-10 and watch some tv or read. I'm a little tired and try to stay away as long as possible so that when I fall asleep it will last, yeah right! Never knew it was an age thing just thought it was me. See Susan, you learn something new everyday. And I think I am at my quota for the week, lol!

KATY...well, I hope James' fever goes down soon. Wonder what's up with him. Does he have any other symptoms or just the fever? At least Leigh gets daddy/daughter time and mom gets mommy/son time. Free comic books, eh? You know, I haven't picked up a comic book in ages! Don't even know where a comic book store is around here. Well, you could have shared some of that cake missy. Carrot and choc. cake sound so good right now. I treated myself to some peach cobbler and man was it good!

GINNY...sorry about the dummies not reading the signs. I think some people just do what they want to do and have no regard for others. Don't understand it but I see it all the time, especially drivers! Bet that was a nice surprise though...waking up to see the tree all decorated.

SUSAN...for some reason I thought he was your boss, duh! he probably put a hex on the sunflower, shame on him, lol! So is that case over th GF being the arse? Your office sounds nice, and at least you will have more space.

MICHELLE...I don't work outside the home. Just after cleaning house, doing laundry and running errands I usually hit the computer. It's my link to the world, lol. Somedays are busier than others but for the most part, I am a bored housewife. Hubby works a lot, kids are grown (but still at home except one who is in the Army) and do their own thing. I have been looking for a job though, just haven't found the 'right' one for me. the ones I do apply never get a call. The ones I do get a call and interview...not sure what happens. Seriously thinking about volunteering again, I did that for years. But not sure where yet. Also, it may look like I am online but a lot of times when I know I will be back later...I don't bother signing off.

DEBORAH...what a pretty picture of you and your son, and yes, he is a cutie. Sorry to hear about the bully picking on him. Some kids are just so mean. But glad to hear the school did something about it. He's probably just acting out because of his home life but someone needs to do something about it now before it gets out of hand. You don't have to apologize for the long post, we all have long ones from time to time.

Well, ladies, just wanted to drop in and say Hi since I had a few minutes. I am actually getting a little sleepy, but know it won't last. I once went to sleep at 10 (was very tired) only to wake at 11! Woke up thinking I had had a good nights sleep and looked at the clock, yikes! Of course spent the next few hours watching a movie. Glad DH is a sound sleeper. he's gone to sleep with the overhead (fan light) on and it is bright. The man could sleep through anything. Of course if I actually do get in a deep sleep like that I could to. Anyway, see you ladies tomorrow some time.

Whatever you do in your little corner of the world this weekend...I hope you have a good one!
