Back In Kindergarten #12!
 
WELCOME to Back In Kindergarten #12 to anyone reading this!:wave:

I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc.
Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......~* Jules
:df:


Please join us in our chit chat as we discuss our weight loss journey and daily lives!!!

Bep post from #11

For me, I have a ton of different motivators.

1) I am going to be 29 in a few days...which is going to put me at 30 in just over a year. I want to look good BEFORE I turn 30.

2) I want to have another baby...hopefully be pregnant around the time I turn 30. I have had 2 c-sec and desperately want to try for a VBAC with #3. Better health may help me be able to do that...who knows???

3) I am so stinkin sick of dodging out of pictures. I want to feel ok about having pictures taken with my children. I barely have any at all with them...and I don't like the few that I do have because I can't look at them and remember the fun we were having...only can think about how rediculous I look.

4) I HATE plus sized clothing. It is poopy and granny! Now...I am pretty conservative in dress (I go for skirts knee length or longer, no cleavage, stuff like that). That isn't going to change just because I get thinner...it's just me. I don't like the whole 'flaunt your body' kind of thing. I don't feel the need to have men drool over me and have other women jealous. But I still want to be able to wear cuter clothes! I want to shop for the same sizes as my sisters and friends when I am out with them instead of just hanging out and saying 'oh...that is cute' but not even being able to pick up something and try it on. I want to be able to find cute clothes! No such thing in the plus-sized world.

The list go on and on...sooooooo many reasons not to be overweight!!!

Michelle post from #11

SUSAN... CONGRATS on losing that stubborn pound! All of that exercising has really helped out! I'm so tired of this 102 degree weather; it makes everyone tired and irritable!

BEP... WOW, CONGRATS on losing 3 pounds! Being down in the teens is such an accomplishment! I think your motivators are great! I totally agree with the plus size clothing being granny looking; I hate it! So did you say that you are also counting calories? If so, are you using Fitday?

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 02:37 PM

1 more!!! Bep post from #11


Michelle No...I am not using Fitday. I look at the packages of things I use and I use http://www.nutritiondata.com/ to look up whatever doesn't have a label on it. I keep a word document right here on my laptop and log every time I eat something. Ya know...our starting weights and goal weights are similar! 150 is only a temp goal weight for me. I want to get rid of the 'chunk' first, then I can work on toning down to 140 or 130ish. I have to wait and see when I get there. All my adult years have been spent at 160+ so I don't know what I will look like at 150 or less. I weighed about 165/170 about 6 years ago when I got married. About 4 months later I started gaining and exploded to well over 200. Since then, I have never been below 210 with all the yo-yo & crazy low-carb dieting. I want to get to the weight I was 6 yrs ago when I got married, but I don't want to stop there either. I am sooooo done being fat and that is all there is to it. I am doing this and what's funny is I am the only one who can mess it up for me so I only have myself to blame for screw-ups.

Happy Monday!
 
Hello ladies...

Just when I was getting used to finding us here we are going to be moved, poopy. :( Did you ladies see the notice at the top about the forum being moved July 1 to the Support forum? Might want to take a gander. Anyway...

Started the day by over sleeping. Stayed up too late trying to finish my book. Had planned on getting up at 6 and going for a walk at the park, come back water the lawn, clean some and then head to It Figures. Still did it all but instead of the park I walked 1.51 miles on the treadmill...the rest is done though. And I just finished my lunch. Couldn't decide between a lean cuisine pizza or english muffin with peanut butter and an apple...went with the muffin and apple and boy was it good! :T Off to a good start for the week. I am bound and determined to be in ONEDERLAND next WI! Again, same ole, same ole...stuck at 201.6, lol. Don't know where the 1.5 pounds went but who cares...it's gone! Guess it was just from TOM.

SUSAN...good to see ya back and I hear ya about the money thing, here today, gone tomorrow. Hope you are feeling better and Doug is as well. Swimming sounds so nice...our little pool here gets so busy and I don't really want to get in a suit yet, but one day. Hate that there is a pool and I never use it. Okay, did I miss that you lost a stubborn pound? :bravo: to you missy! :carrot: I saw a Napoleon wannabe...that stupid, and I do mean STUPID...Date Movie...they did a little part at the beginning of the movie, it was kind of funny. The little part, not the movie. Don't know who was playing Napoleon but he looked almost identical...his shirt said "Don't Vote For Pedro" lol.

HI MICHELLE...hope you are feeling well today. I am surprised at the temps you guys are having. Seems like when it's hot there we have the cool weather and when it's cool there it's hot here. This morning the bank said it was 65...really nice walking weather. Hope tomorrow it is the same...I do plan on walking at the park first thing in the morning for sure. Would definitely prefer being outdoors than on the treadmill. The treadmill though is definitely good for short walks, but more than two miles, ick.

SHAWNA...happy moving! I've been there, done that too. I had a ford explorer that I moved quite a bit in and then had to hire movers to get the big stuff. It was a lot of trips but since it was a short distance move it actually seemed easier. I took boxes of stuff over and unpacked and put away the stuff as I took it there so it was the smoothest move I ever had...and I have moved a lot over the years, ugh. Hope you are feeling better.

BEP...those are some great motivators. I used to not have my picture took too but then realized that my kids will never have any pictures of me. So fat or not, I do have pictures taken now. There was a lot of stuff too that I wouldn't do. Kept saying, I will wait until I lose the weight...guess reading a bunch of books made me realize I shouldn't wait or put things on hold until I lost weight. So now I just enjoy, figure the weight will come off eventually but I am not going to stop living because of it, not saying that you are of course. I don't like looking at myself in pictures either but I will take them. :bravo: on your 3 lbs. gone forever! :carrot: You are doing a great job!

HI KATY, JULES, & KATHY, and anyone and everyone reading this. :wave:

Talked to Josh on the phone last night. He's doing good. They have had them do stuff to prepare them for their trip to Kuwait. Of course the whole training has been to prepare them for Kuwait/Iraq. They had to get a lot of their stuff packed to be sent overseas. For some reason he said they were shipping it to Japan where it will sit there for a while and then off to Kuwait to be there waiting for them when they get there. The trip was almost called off, darn it wish it would have been. Need to quit watching the world news and the stuff about Iraq...anyway...other than that nothing else going on with me.

Just finished my fourth bottle of water, yippee! :carrot: Trying to stay away from the diet coke...have one for breakfast and with dinner maybe. Today will be a 6 bottle day. I'll have another with a snack about 3:30 and then one while I cook dinner. Always try to have one while I cook because it fills me up and I eat less. Okay, guess i'll get going.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT day!

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 03:24 PM

Hi Cristi-

No, I didn't see that about being moved. I will go read it in a second.

Gaby was sick and I had to go get her from the sitter. Poor baby, she was sitting in a corner - her clothes off because they were being washed. Anyway, I will go read that and be back ........

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 03:29 PM

Notice from Suzanne
Club Forums to be moved

We're moving the Club forums to the Support Groups area! Your current forums will appear as sub-forums, next to the 300 + group, Featherweights, and other forums. This will help organize the forum, and it will also bring your forums closer to the top so newbies will be able to find you. We will not be adding any new forums, we're just relocating the existing ones. This will not be effective until July 1, because we want to make sure everyone has a chance to read this notice and not feel lost when the move occurs.

FrouFrou 06-26-2006 03:34 PM

Ya think ALL the groups are moving or just the Misc. Clubs? Hmmmm....


SUSAN...ah, what's wrong with Miss Gaby? {{{{{GABY}}}}} hope she feels better soon.

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 03:47 PM

Just the misc clubs.....lol - I dunno. It would be kind of nice to move up in the line of forums though and get out of the basement. I try and post as much as I am able because at least it keeps us on radar!! What I do for you chickies!! :D
I think Gaby was dehydrated, it is a guess. She was fine in the pool last night and started whimpering during the night. She was warm but not hot. I took her temp at 98 and she held her juice down on the way home. I went and bought some jucies and crackers for her at the store, when I came back she was asleep on my bed with Rachel.
I think she will be ok. I have off tomorrow to go down to a ceremony for my down in Salem - if she still isn't feeling well I guess I could always stay home.

I would be stressed if my child was in the military! HUGS to you!!

ugh.....someone is here for me......*bother*....

FrouFrou 06-26-2006 04:18 PM

SUSAN...I am STRESSED! I try not to think about it but doesn't work. The thought of him going over there scares the h-e-double hockey sticks outta me! I wish I could go see him off before he goes but not possible. Last night after talking with Josh, my heart was doing funny things...don't like when I can actually feel my heart feeling like it was flip-flopping. UGH! Anyway...I agree...it would be nice to get out of the basement, lol! Just going to have to remember where the heck we are...:dizzy: Well, I hope Gaby gets to feeling better what ever is wrong with her. More {{{{{{GABY}}}}}} :hug:

Better get going. Was e-mailing my mother and thought I would check back here before signing off. Think I am caught up with all that stuff. V will be home in a few minutes and can't miss my Jeopardy, lol!

Take care and have a good day!

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 04:32 PM

I would be stressed too. Is there any support group for family?

My back to killing me with TOM, the older I get the worse the pain gets. I hate when Gaby is not feeling well. I hate this weather......wah, wah....

ugh - I better get busy! chat later....HUGS:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

chickiemama67 06-26-2006 04:41 PM

howdy
 
ok so im going to miss wi day again, ill go in the morning before i go to work. we havent bought a scale for home yet daggumit.
started moving stuff again this morning. by the end of the day everything should be there except the beds. i had to be at work at 1 so dh and the kids are finishing everything else up. now the unpacking to look forward too.....blah.
im going to the dr tomorrow to see what the heck this pain is in my chest, it feels like pleurisy but as much lifting as ive done lately it might be a pulled muscle or something, all i know is it wont go away and its ticking me off!! i feel absolutely worthless at work right now, i cant lift anything over my head and when you have the tall shelving like we do that doesnt cut it.....so hopefully the dr can figure out what the crap is going on!!! i just hope i havent torn a muscle that would be really bad.
well back to work until close, i will check back later.
shawna

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 05:13 PM

Hey lil chickie (aka Shawna!) I will send you my scale!! You need the joy of weighing too!
Are you moving? I forget.
It is 103 right now - ugh. I am staying in my AC office.
Poor Rach & Gab though - it usually stays cool in the apt but it was kind of stuffy this morning.
I have drank 60 ozs of water so far today, feel good about that.
brrrrrrrrr, I am starting to get cold....lol

chat later!

Post so I have something to read!! waaaaa, waaaaaa:cool:

Michelle 06-26-2006 06:11 PM

Good Afternoon Girlies -- This weather is a killer!!!:devil: :fr: :stress: :censored: :barf: :sp: :yikes: I'm already sick of it and summer has just started, but this is going just a little too far!!!:mad: Do you think I've made my opinion show LOL!:o

SUSAN... I'm so sorry about Gaby. It's so hard when the kids are sick, and especially the little ones. You're doing good on your water. My DH keeps refilling my glass because he said I'm not drinking enough for these hot days.:dizzy: So we're going to be moving up in the world on July 1st, but it will be easier to find us then, we can't hide anymore!:p

BEP... You're right, our stats are almost the same. I don't even know either about my goal weight until I ever get down there and see. I just know that the day I got married, I was 122 pounds, and when I graduated from HS, I was 115 pounds, oh the good ol days!:D I'm either going to start using Fitday or just having my own little notebook and write everything down in it.:^:

CRISTI... I'm jealous of your 65 degree weather -- PLEASE COME SAVE ME...PLEASE!!!:devil: ;) I'm sorry that you can't see Josh first before he would be sent away; that's horrible and I feel so bad for you and the whole family!:hug:

SHAWNA... I sure hope you find something out at the doctor! That's not a good situation with chest pains. I keep having the same pain on my right side, but I've had it for years and always been told it was probably from stress; I guess that's what they all say!:( :hug:

Well, I'm about to strip down to runnin around naked, I'm so desperate!:yikes: :lol3: :rofl: Wouldn't that just be a great site...NOT!!!:o

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 06:23 PM

Hi Michelle -

The ex is being a butt still. I think I could have half a chance at parenting if he would remove himself.
I asked the girls if they would move to Hawaii and they will get back to me.:cool:
I don't know....I need a spouse or a partner. I can't keep up with all this "life" stuff.
I don't know if I said this but I am proud of myself!! I asked the state lady if the plaque for my father could go to his family instead of the place he last worked. It is for his whole body of work and he worked in several places besides this one. He basically was a 1 man show and kept it going without money - amazing but he did it somehow. Anyway, she agreed it should be given to the family!! Soooooo happy about that...we go in the morning for the ceremony.

If you run naked, I will run naked Michelle and if I run naked......Bep will run naked and so on and so on......lol

chat later!!

Michelle 06-26-2006 06:34 PM

SUSAN... So are you maybe going to move to Hawaii? I can't believe that the girls wouldn't just jump to that suggestion; mine sure would! I think that is really neat about the ceremony for your dad, and also the family getting the plack, thanks to you for speaking up.;) :hug: Why doesn't your ex work more with you regarding the girls? I just don't understand how he doesn't see that things would run much better if he did!:?: I'm going to go crazy here pretty soon in this heat!! Where is Cristi, she's supposed to rescue me!:devil:

Mom2Gaby 06-26-2006 06:44 PM

Michelle I think I could only go if the girls would go with me. Before there was an issue with Gabsters dad but he hasn't seen her in a year now. I don't think the courts would keep me from going knowing that, or would they??
Anyway- we have 2 round trip tickets on our miles thingie. Can't we just have 4 one way tickets instead?? .....logical to me. I would just sell everything and take pictures and clothes - it is a wonderful escape at least thinking about it.
Ex just likes the control while wondering why the girls are the way they are...he has raised them. I haven't had a voice in much of it. lol......

awww, I dread 45 minutes when I have to leave my AC office!! It should be cooler tomorrow Michelle :) hugs to you!!!

jules1216 06-26-2006 08:26 PM

I just wanted to pop in and say hi!! Lightning and thunder and flash flooding...o..my... Feeling a little better--muscle relaxer help the tightness but made me into a zombie. Got the other prescription today and it has helped with the edginess.....

Hopefully the storms will pass!!

Michelle 06-26-2006 10:15 PM

On the 5 oclock news, they said that someone called in from a town that is about 15 miles south of us, and reported it was 118F!!!:yikes:

chickiemama67 06-26-2006 11:29 PM

blah
 
ok were almost done.......ya!!! have to be at work at 6 am, but i get off at 2 to go to the dr.......woopty doo :rofl:
thanks for the offer susan but i think we can get one here lol.
i will keep everyone posted on the dr visit.
night yall
shawna

jules1216 06-27-2006 07:56 AM

Good Morning--quickie post before starting my day. The anxiety pill is making much more calmer--if I can just make it until my co-worker/friend makes it back at least part-time I will be okay.

DD & her friend have painted their little house--I saw the color samples but not the finished product yet. DD's friend is a art major and has a good eye for color. DD's bedroom is blue of course, DD's friend bedroom is a rose color, The bathroom will be decorated with rubber ducky's--(DD already has shower curtain and some accessories-They painted the walls blue and the cabinents Yellow & got a border with ducky's., The kitchen is a pale yellow that they liked better on the sample paper--the say it looks white not yellow--they are deciding to go with a darker yellow or go dramatic with turquoise to match DD's turquoise and lime color dishes. The living room is a pretty coral color and I forget the color of the dining/computer/study room. The place needs a little work since it is older. DH is concerned that some of the locks on the windows don't work so he is going to fix those and the breaker box is actually outside so he wants to put a lock on it too so only the girls can get into it. His main concern is that since it is older--will the girls have problems--DD smiled and hugged him and said that's why she has him!! He will grumble about it but get it done. The landlord is older and actually installed a better lock on the back door and is getting a deadbolt & chain for the front one--he wants the girls to be safe. The house had been empty for awhile and a bunch of guys from the college lived there before. The yard needs some work so we will go over on Friday and clip,weed whack & mow again. The landlord paid someone to do it, but it was not done very well or finished.

Well I gotta go!!

RosieKate 06-27-2006 09:06 AM

:carrot: One carrot for me - I'm down 1 pound!

Sorry - today's a drive-by....I have to get some work done on these curtains...hoping to get them done before we leave on Saturday. Ok now fellow Oregonians here...all day yesterday I was thinking, you know, If I'd wanted this kind of heat I'd live in Phoenix! It's not part of the deal, man...Oregon is supposed to be MILD.... Mild I tell you It's a state full of people who get cranky when it hits 82 and it hasn't rained in a week...oh I need to calm down...crazy from the heat...Hub saw a sign on the street at some garage that said it was 112....of course all I think is that it's global warming..going a little nuts

I took the kids to the pool by the high school yesterday and it was a lot of fun - great way to beat the heat, but it's 10 bucks a pop....the outdoor pool is really nice on a hot day, but I may end up taking them to the community center next time as we have a family card there.

Well, other than that not much else happening here. DH and I saw Hairspray the musical on Sunday and enjoyed it very much. MIL treated us for our anniversary...what a sweetie. The rest of the week is all about working on the house and getting ready for our road trip to Condon. I'll be back later to chat some more...until then have a great day everyone!

bep 06-27-2006 11:07 AM

Hi all! DH & I have been working on painting the new guest room we had added in the basement. We have a partially finished basement, just need to finish with a drop ceiling. We have a full bath down there and no one uses it so we decided to put in another room for a guest room. Hopefully, we will get all the painting done and things put together down there before July 4th since we will have a house full for a few days. I want to find a pool table for the rec area down there also. I want to try to find a nice one really cheap second hand. Since we would only be doing it for fun now and then, I don't want to dump a ton of money into a brand new one. :p Maybe sometime soon I will find one for free in the paper..yeah right! :p Stranger things have happened though!

Owie! I have bad rug burn on both of my knees. DH & I each had one of our kids on our backs last night 'riding the horsie'. We were going around and around the house. I was wearing shorts so my knees are burning big time. :p It was a blast though.

OK...one more 'whine'. I spent all day Saturday getting caught up on my landscaping work. I was wearing a spaghetti strap tank and got a nasty sunburn right over my tan. :p It is still sore...the worse when I am in the shower. :p Ok...can't whine about that after all - it all was my own stupid fault. :lol:

How are you all today??? Everyone having a fun ole time of it today?

:lol: I just gave my baby girl a big ole zerbert on her tummy and she tried to give me one back on my face...I just got another shower! :lol: She is so stinkin' cute!!!

Mom2Gaby 06-27-2006 11:11 AM

grrrrrrrrr, I wanna maime children!!! They aren't ready to go!! I was on schedule until I realized they were still in bed whining why they had to go to the ceremony for grandpa - and if they went, they didn't want to be seen *eyes roll* get the frick out of bed!!!!!

Good Morning! It is another *&^%$%^&* hot day!!! My sister , who doesn't drive asked me if I had AC....she is such a car snob. Has no children, never been married. I have the kids mobile.....of course her nose turns up at my filth,,,,,, hey!!! you never know when you might be hungry for a chicken nugget - certain to find one in my car.....might even have some sauce on it.....bets are around Gabys chair.....hehe

ugh.....I am late - gotta go.

Hi Jules, Shawna ,Michelle, Cristi, Bep , Kathy and Katy (congrats on the pound)!!! Chat later

FrouFrou 06-27-2006 01:30 PM

Hiya Chickies :wave:

Can't believe the temps you ladies in Oregon are having. Have to agree with you Katy about it being global warming. Hope it cools down for you guys soon. We are at a cool 72 and only supposed to get up to 87. But the 90's are back tomorrow for the rest of the week. I haven't seen 113/118 since living in the desert in CA...the highest it got was 118.

SUSAN...there are support groups, just haven't found one yet. I have been looking online and found a lot, can't remember where but was kind of looking for some place close to home...there's got to be something here I mean, we have a stinking Air base here. I'll find something, soon I hope. Have a nice time at the ceremony and wtg on getting the plaque given to the family...but who get's it? I too can't believe that the girls wouldn't want to go to Hawaii! But at the same time I can understand them not wanting to leave their home and friends. But it would be a new adventure for them and I think they would like it.

MICHELLE...it is hard knowing that Josh (DS) will be heading to Iraq. Not so worried about Kuwait, although anything could happen there as well...just really worried about him being in Iraq. I watched the world news and saw where those two kids were killed and they thought beheaded, and then yesterday a kid was home because he had is arm shot off. Really need to quit watching the world news.

KATY...WTG on the one carrot! :bravo: I think that is the only way to spend the day with 100+ degree weather...in a pool! Bet it was busy there. Glad you and hubby enjoyed Hairspray.

SHAWNA...hope all goes well at the doctors today. Glad you decided to go and find out what's going on. Reminded me that I haven't had my yearly, ick. Just hate going.

JULES...I am loving all the colors in DD's house. I too am into color...maybe not the bright colors they are doing but I love color in the house-it liven's it up. The only room that is white is DS's (Jason) he hasn't decided on a color yet. Anyway, love the duckies in the bath...sounds so cute! The turquiose made me think of my Aunt...she was into the southwestern look and colors and painted her refrigerator turquiose. That's all anyone talked about for a while and I kept picturing this horrible looking thing. Finally went to see it and I thought it looked good. It was turquiose but it wasn't bright and didn't look out of place...it looked good. Glad DH is a handyman...that does help doesn't it? Glad the meds are helping you and hopefully the co-worker/friend gets back to work soon to help out.

BEP...you never know missy...I got a piano once for free...just had to pick it up. Did some damage to my dad's truck getting it home but it was his fault so...lol. We moved and had to get rid of it...was just too big to move. Pool tables are nice to have. We had one or actually DH had one when I met him...when we bought our first house together he decided it was too big a pain to move, which I know it would have been but still would have liked to have it-love to shoot pool. We also had a ping pong table...that's fun to play too. Now our basement is just a family room, office, two bedrooms (one is used as an exercise room) and bath. I bet you can find one cheap though. So what color are you guys going to paint?

Not much going on...I over slept again. Don't know what is wrong with me. I went to bed at 9:30 but didn't go to sleep. Was watching How to Get The Guy-anyone seen that? It's a reality show about four women trying to find the guy. I did watch it all and then fell alseep with the t.v. on. Set my alarm for 6, not sure why so changed it this morning at 5 to 7. But didn't get up until 8. Geez, I thought I turned over for a minute and a hour had passed. Feel so tired lately. The weather still wasn't so bad when I finally got to the park. I did work up a sweat though...walked three miles, four times around the park. Then came home and cleaned my bedroom, made the bed, cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed my room and Josh's room, and the hallway. Now just need to dust the living room and dining area and clean the kids bath and vacuum. And that's about all I have for now.

Hope everyone is having a nice day!

Chat with ya later! :wave:

Popping in real quick for Cristina:

A friend gave me this website:

Michelle 06-27-2006 04:39 PM

HIYA GIRLIES:wave: I am SO ready for a cool down here! It's still supposed to get up to 90F today, and in the 80s the rest of the week. It just hasn't completely cooled down in our home yet.:devil:

SUSAN... I hope your day goes good and the girls don't give you any problems at the ceremony.:o I bet there will be lots of people there, because of how well known your dad was. Try to just stay cool though!:hug:

CRISTI... I can't wait until our weather cools down some so that I can get back to my exercising and taking walks up at the park. My DD has been wanting to go, but it's just too hot for me; with her being smaller, the heat doesn't get to her as bad as it does me.:( :hug:

BEP... You and your DH are so good to your kids, and you have so much fun with them! You are such a good mommy!:hug:

JULES... The colors of your DD's house sound so neat! I bet she's having lots of fun doing the decorating. I'm glad your meds are helping, and hopefully things will be fine until your co-worker gets back!:hug:

I didn't think we'd make it home tonight, our road is almost to deep to drive my little car across and then the driveway has a small creek running across it!!

Michelle ma belle--nice to see you back!! They are having fun.

Cristina--all the colors are really soft--unless they do go with bright turquoise or lime green kitchen!!

SuzyQ--hope your doing okay & the Gabster is feeling better...

Bep--I miss the kids being little--not in the I am having an attack of empty nest syndrome and want to cry or have another baby sorta way, but in a look back and smile kinda way!! They were soooo cute and soo much less trouble!!

Katy--yes for the one pound loss!!!

Shawna--hope your Dr's visit went okay and he can get you feeling better!!

Well I brought some work home to do and I want to get it done before I take the muscle relaxer before bedtime!!

jules1216 06-27-2006 07:51 PM

PS--it looks like ALL the groups in this whole bottom section will be moved!!! I hope I don't get lost...I mean were only in kindergarten--I don't know if I am ready to be thrown into highschool and being crushed in the crowds!!!!!

jules1216 06-27-2006 07:52 PM

I guess it's my turn to talk to myself, but I really have to go!!! I have homework!!!!

jules1216 06-27-2006 07:56 PM

I bet Bep made something really good for supper...I think we are both east coasters...I wonder how long it would take me to drive to her house.....
Shawna would be the next closest, then Cristina....then if I went west coast there would be Katy, SuzyQ & Michelle ma Belle all in close to the same spot...
If you look on an east coast map where I-70 & I-81 intersect I work closer than live closer to that spot.

jules1216 06-27-2006 07:57 PM

Okay..I am really going now......

Sassy_Chick 06-27-2006 10:02 PM

Hey Ladies!


Hey Jules, long time no see. lol. :wave:

It's Lil ole me, Sassy, who's been MIA! I was feeling low and blue and came here and now I feel much better and not so alone. :) I guess at times we all feel that way.

I haven't been doing well eating wise, but I plan on doing much better! :D Tonight for dinner we're having Lamb w/ Rosemary on the grill, My Mil's Oven Roasted Potatoes, and probably a nice spring green salad too.

Tomorrow not sure what we'll have. We bought some nice lean pork chops so maybe some of those, on the grill or something. Our friend took us too a cool store, The Wild Oats Store that is all natural and organic grocery store. So we've been going there for a few things lately and I found an awesome Lemonade there! It is very yummy! It's all natural and is not too sweet and tastes just like old fashioned lemonade, infact that is what its called is Old Fashioned Lemonade. :)

So :wave: everybody, I hope you are doing well!

:lol: :lol: :lol: DH actually called this afternoon and asked if he could bring some KFC home. Of course, I don't eat that so I was scratching my head about what I wanted to make for just me. I wasn't in the mood for a salad so I was going to have to cook up something. So...I went to my garden and got some basil and parsley. I minced it with a few cloves of garlic, salt, and some ground pepper. Then I took a cubed steak that I happened to have thawed and wiped some olive oil over it then smeared it with the herb mince I made. I cooked it up in some pan spray. Then I sauted a big ole bunch of red onions with some other veggies.

There you go...that is what I made for supper! :D I bet you had NO clue you were going to get a play-by-play! :lol: :lol: :lol:

bep 06-27-2006 11:57 PM

WOW! I've had a TON of exersize today! This morning I did some arms, abs, butt, and leg toning work. I painted all afternoon. I walked 2.6 miles this evening. Then I painted all night again. I am sore and pooped. Will chat more tomorrow.

Mom2Gaby 06-28-2006 12:16 PM

Good Morning!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Sassy/ Shel it is nice to have you back with us!! We have Wild Oats here too, I have never been inside. Though it is probably close to a Trader Joes?? What do you think Katy?? You probably been in both of them. Anyway it is good to have you here!

I ate a chonga bagel for breakfast. My car is making nosies and thinking it is shocks and brake pads - more expense. Good thing my brother manages a Les Schwab. I almost had my last bill below $100. *sigh*

I think I will close my door and get some work done. It was a tough day yesterday, I cried and cried. I am just feeling blag today. I did get in for the arts & crafts for camp!! lol......it'll be fun.

chat at you later!!

Mom2Gaby 06-28-2006 01:34 PM

Back again!

Hope you are feeling ok today Shawna!

It is so much cooler weatherwise today! I think I even pulled the blanket over me to keep warm last night.
I brought fixins for salad from home for lunch. I am frusterated with the ex and I guess I will do a solo session by myself today. Fine.
I don't like chaos and that is all I have now with the kids. Course it is summer - they aren't on a schedule. They need to be getting tutoring in math - all my plans have fallen to the way side to keep em busy!!! Even Gaby is unruly...haha
ugh,,,,I need something to eat. Chat later!!

Sassy_Chick 06-28-2006 02:30 PM

Hey all!

Susan thanks. :hug: It is really neat inside Wild Oats, we don't have a Trader Joes here so not sure if its simular.

Well chicas I just popped in to say hi as I need to get my behind in gear and begin cleaning. I got my laundry going so far. That sound account for something, right? :D

Have a Great Day!

Mom2Gaby 06-28-2006 02:38 PM

Hi Sassy,
I think it is a close comparison. TJ has some really good salsa. Thanks, it is a pretty good day thus far!! Starving still - think it is close enough to noon to go make my salad.
Where is everyone? Sheesh ladies come on in and chat :D
