grrrrrr, I think I will go eat my salad....

Just wanted to :welcome2: Laura and Mary before they figure out how to get here!!!

That are sweet ladies that I invited from my single parents group. So welcome , welcome! I am soooooo glad you are heavy and struggle with your weight!!! lol jk

chat later :)

Susan--I'm here for a late lunch--I went and got my hair cut--shortest it's been since the dreaded Dorothy Hamil wedge cut in the eigth grade. I got me a greek salad from panera bread and hubby a regular garden salad. I gave him me bread though it was tempting to eat it myself.

Cristina--there are lots of funny things up in the lighten up thread. I sent it to my daughter on one of her bad days and got an email back that she was a vegetabletarian and didn't want any frog legs!!

Michelle so sorry about your Grandma. My coworker is home from the hospital but has no idea when she will be back.

Hi Ginny & Katy!!

And I am back yet again! :lol:

I did get some things done though. Changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned up the living room, dusted and actually got dressed! :p Even ran to the store to pick up a couple of things. And now I am back eating my sad little sandwich. Just need to vacuum and sweep the bathroom floors and I am done for the day. Oh, no I'm not...gotta get a walk in. *slaps forehead* :doh:

MICHELLE...what happened to the teddy bear avatar? That was soooo cute! I love teddy bears. Hugs to you and your grandma. :hug:

SUSAN...I only have one bottle of water down so far! So later on when I try to guzzle the other three, I will be feeling like a big blimp that sloshes! :lol: Not a pretty sight.

And a big WELCOME to Laura and Mary! Any friend of Susan's is a friend of ours and we look forward to getting to know you both. :welcome:

JULES...too funny! I used to frequent and post on the Lighten Up thread. That was when I found all kinds of funny stuff. I do read it sometimes though. Probably need to read it more often. Hey...I always liked Dorothy Hamil's wedge cut! Always wanted one but with my chunky face :nono:

Okay ladies, going to go look around a little but will be back later. Ta ta for now! :wave:

Jules -
I had these Nicosie salad with those arugula capers. I forgot about those - kind of like these deer pellets. It has 320 cal. 40 oz's of water down so far. I think gaby would look cute in a Dorothy Hamil DO. lol It is growing out now, she had hacked away at it awhile back, just looking decent again.

Cristi - Have you ever had one of those walking ped....whatever they are called, that measures how far you walk?? I bet you walk a lot and don't even know it :)

I was reading on a poster the other day that second hand smoke:smoking: around children (or an adult, I guess) compares to 207 packages of cigs by the time the child is 5 years old! I thought that was sooooo amazing and sick.

k- back to work!

Cristina--When I got the Dorothy Hamil wedge at my grandmothers insistance, my hair had been all one length past the middle of my back. My hair is very fine and straighter than a board. To do the Dorothy Hamil wedge justice you need some body in your hair. Didn't look good on me at all and then the hairstyle moved on to the Toni Tennille (Captain & Tennille) mushroom cap cut which was not much better. Boy I'm really dating myself aren't I. I'll go one more and quit--After a botched perm job--the resulting cut made me look like Joan Jett with the straight up spikes. I actually did get alot of I looked like either Joan Jett (the haircut helped) or "janet" from three's company and my best friend Kelly personality was like "Chrissy's"

SUSAN...forgot to add...there is always someone to rain on our parade isn't there? Why can't someone enjoy the flower and say how pretty it is an dlet it go. Do they have to say "it's going to die?"

And yes, I do have a pedometer. For a while I was using it everyday and was amazed at the miles/steps a day I walked. Then it got old, not the ped, but me wearing it, lol. I still wear it sometimes. But usually put it on for a new walk to see how far I have gone. For the most part it is pretty accurate. To make sure I measure it with the park, and.or drive the walk. And speaking of walking missy...ummmm, when was the last ime you walked and did you get those new shoes for yourself?

I read something like that about second hand smoke. Something too about the chances of getting cancer were higher with second hand smoke than actually smoking the cig. Now does that make sense?

Okay, going to take off and look a couple of things up and then go vacuum. By then it will be time for jeopardy. Darn tv people...they keep changing the times of all my favorite shows. Was on at 3:30 and now they changed it to 4:30.

Have a good one ladies! (I'll probably be back later this evening after My Name is Earl and The Office-love those shows!

Susan--hubby and I don't smoke but both of our kids do and my neice who comes from a chain smoking household doesn't, but with her asthma I don't think she could do it anyway.

Funny Jules! My hair too is straight as a board and oh so fine!

MICHELLE...my whole family smokes except for me and my mom, *cough, cough*

Cristiana-my son has a gathering at his apartment every thursday night to drink beer and watch "Earl".

Susan--you should keep buying more sunflower plants when one is looking bad and brag about bringing it back to life.

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!
