Hello

Running around with errands and things today, just bought a microwave with my mother and am going down with my dad to visit my grandmother. Not too exciting but I am getting out of the house!

cristina/bep - I agree, sounds like my attacks too. I was misdiagnosed at first as well. So I hope if it is gallstones they find out right away!!!
and cristina I don't think there is anything wrong with doing short walks instead of long as long as you get it done!

HI SUSAN :wave:
Yay, to you for getting out of the house. When it's as hot as it is here it makes me sluggish and lazy. I read somewhere before that it didn't really matter if you did short walks as long as you did a significant amount of time and you are moving so...it helps when walking on the treadmill. I would love to go visiting family but they are 7 1/2 hours away, not so easy, especially with gas prices what they are, :yikes: Sounds like you are having a nice day though, shopping with your mom and then going to see your grandma. Hope you have a nice visit.

Was still on and saw that Susan had posted so thought I would say Hi again. Hope everyone is having a nice, cool day. Chat later gators. :wave:

Happy Saturday everyone

We are just getting ready to go to DH company golf tournament.

SuzyQ are you using a laptop or a regular computer? I have to use DH work laptop because our computer got a virus, and it has to go in and get fixed, and I find on this stupid thing that if miss a key and hit the wrong thing, which is quite often I lose my post. It makes me a little cranky when that happens. And it never happens at the beginning, always at the end of a long post. Do you have a dog? Or do you just walk down to the doggy park? DD told me to F off a couple weeks ago also. How come they know how to break our heart?

Bep :hugs: to you. I hope that you get your results and they can make you all better really quickly.

Cristi does V's company come close to making their quota? Does he actually have to work 7 days a week, and how often does he get a day off? No wonder when he gets a day off you just spend it with him. I really would have liked to see the wife swap show you were talking about. I couldn't imagine having to go into that house, especially the one that had to go in as she would have come from a pet free spotless house, and to have to clean that up would probably have tortured her.

Susan NYC hope you have a good day running errands and visiting your grandmother. My DD and I took my mom to a concert yesterday and we all had a great time.

Sassy :hugs: to you. I tried out fitday and found it to time consuming. I just bought a notebook and starting writing everything down, what I ate during the day, how I felt, what sort of exercise I did during the day. It actually helped. I have stopped writing in my book, and I seemed to have fallen off my good wagon. So let us together try and make that a goal, and we can work on that together and see if that helps us out at all.

Jules, how are things going with you? My brother and SIL have 4 kids under the age of 4. All boys. My SIL wanted to have a girl so bad with the last one, that they had some genetic testing done to make sure it was a girl. The tests came back that they were having a girl. The ultrasound showed a girl. They picked girls names, we all bought girls clothes, she wanted me to come in with her for moral support, etc....(you know where this is going don't you?) Anyway baby is born and she ends up being a he. Now they are expecting baby #5. Please let this one be a girl..... If I could I would come and help you get caught up. Hugs and hope that your day goes exactly perfect for you so you are done everything quickly.

Shawna happy anniversary, hope that you guys are having a great weekend.

Katy, any big plans for the weekend? How are the kids enjoying the summer vacation so far?

Hi Sue isn't the IM a great thing when you have family that lives away? Hope that you have a great Saturday.

Michelle :hugs: :hugs:

Hope I didn't forget anyone.

Well my Mom bought DD and her boyfriend concert tickets for the concert in Edmonton last night. It was Micheal Carey (I've never heard of him) Arron Prichette, Amanda Wilkenson, Big and Rich with Cowboy Troy, and Allan Jackson. Mom had wanted to go, but she let DD take her BF. I ended up with 4 free tickets to this concert at the very last minute, so I took Mom, and DD's boyfriends mother and brother to this concert. It was outside at the football Stadium. It was really good, although the only one that I went to see was Allan Jackson. Everyone had a good time. It started at 5 and we got home at 3:00 this morning. Little guy however thought that I should get up with him at 7:00. Good thing that we now have a goat because I couldn't get up and I said, go take the goat for a walk with dad and then I will get up. I got to sleep for an extra hour and a half.

Did I mention that DD boyfriend moved in with us? I'm sure I'll be crying on all your shoulders lots in the next few months. Although I told his mother that we certainly don't mind having him, but I was going to let my DD move in with her. That is something she definately agreed on. How come kids are always better for someone else??

Ok I must run and I will chat later. I am definately pushing my luck as I have not yet lost my post

Kathy

:thanks: everybody! I sure do appreciate all the support and great ideas! :D

I like the idea of writing down everything and also keeping track of how I feel afterwards. I will try out fit day and see if I can keep up with it. If not I'll just write it down in a notebook. ;)

Thanks again! :hug:

Good Morning Girlies!!
Kathy--my DD wanted to marry Allen Jackson, Billy Ray Cyrus and Johnny Depp when she was little..well she still would go for Johnny Depp.....

Bep--I had kidneystones and they are painful--they never did figure out what went on with my DS but he's fine now....Hope you are feeiming better soon...

SusanNYC--it's nice to visit all your relatives before you leave--how long will it be before you get to go back home for a visit when you go to NY?

Cristina--we never had air growing up but the medication my mom is on makes her hot all the time--she jokes that she never got hot flashes while going through the change and now has them in her 70's!! This is a woman who wore a sweater in the evening in the summertime and was always cold!! Having major TOM issues--wish I would go through the change and be done with all this!!

Sassy--I was doing really good with writing everything down and then stopped with the anxiety attacks and helping the kids--gotta get back doing it...

Well, that's getting caught up on everyone who has posted since my last post--where's SuzyQ, Michelle ma belle and everyone else (we know Shawna is in Nashville and expect a full report when she checks back in!!)

HEY!!! Where is everyone--I am here at work trying to get my workload to a manageable level for FREE!!!! They gave me more responsibility, more work and changed me from hourly to salary so I don't get paid for today which bites...it would be nice to get a little OT once in awhile, but NOOOOOO.....I get anxiety attacks instead--I will make less this year than I did last year with no OT available--but let me miss a day or not have a full week in.....

Sorry for the vent--killer cramps and extreme irritability that even my little perscription pills aren't helping!! and nobody to talk too!! Back to work for me!!! At least my talkative coworker isn't here and the phones aren't ringing...the brightside right!! should make me happier!!!

Good Morning!

Checking in for a second. Why are you working on the weekend Jules - maybe I missed that.
There is a BBQ at my work place but I am not going. I had my family one planned. I don't know why co worker is doing it on the weekend. He planned the whole thing without ever asking me so he can flip his weiner(s) all by himself:o he is also making hamburgers and fried chicken. I don't know where this $$ is coming from....he also showed me my new $1300 desk and I said "it is too big and too expensive - what if I already picked one out???" Too late he said...not really. The one I wanted was $500. It is stupid to spend so much money on a desk.
I need to go to the store and pick up stuff for our family BBQ. Cristi - I hope brother is coming but he didn't say for sure. Baby sis isn't coming......claiming the flu and car problems. I think they are both upset with the money issue earlier in the week. blah - blah -

How are you Bep?

Kathy - No, we don't have a dog - we just go to the dog park - lol I am on a regular computer. What I could do with a lap top!!!! lol

Sassy :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: I like the idea of writing the food intake down.

Susan /NYC I was in GS yesterday at the wadding pool . Lot of cute guys in that town - at least Rach thought so......lol how are you today???

Katy & Michelle- where are you guys????

Sorry- but I have to go! I need to pick up all the kids and take them to the pool so they can get their swimming out of the way before the adults get there @ the park.

Chat later!

SuzyQ--hope your family BBQ is fun and the girls have a good time swimming--I am here at work because I am so far behind I could cry, but I won't......the pile keeps GROWING bigger and bigger--more vacation requests coming in, co-worker doing better but still off on medical may be back part-time in August (I HOPE!!!) -- I will probably take another week in September when it cools down and do some more stuff around the house. Hubby wanted August--I told him I am waiting for September that we can take them separate since we are not actually going anywhere....will be glad when next summer gets here and everything is paid off and we can actually go somewhere!!

Good morning everyone

We went to DH company BBQ last night, so Cole and I are just getting up. Cole hurt his ankle again which was starting to get better.

Jules, salary is the pits. The only good thing is (and I hope the company that you work for is a good company) that when you need time off you usually get it. When I worked for a different company they were really good about that. When my grandparents and DFIL passed away (3 in 3 months) they were really good and told me to take as much time with all 3 as I needed. Billy Rae Cyrus, haven't heard of him for such a long time. I wonder what ever happened to him.

Susan I hope that you have a good time today. Tell Coworker that the desk doesn't matter if he doesn't get your office cleaned and dehumidified and ready for you to work in without you getting sick in.

Sassy how are you feeling today? When Katy comes back, I think she knows of another web site that is along the same lines as fitday.

Hi to everyone else. Hope you all have a great Sunday.

kathy

Hello ladies...

Not much going on today. Was up at 6 a.m. and surprised I am still wide awake. Got lots done and it didn't take long so spending lots of time on the ol' 'puter. Going to look up some more avatars. Have a few that I saved but want more so I can change it as often as I like, lol.

SUSAN...hope you and the girls had fun at the pool. OIC about brother and sis...of course I don't really blame them.

JULES...sorry you have to work today and it is TOM. :hug: Vacation...what the heck is a vacation? I would love to take one, and actually go somewhere out of this state. Hope you are getting caught up at work. That sucks that you don't get OT though, bummer. Billy RAe Cyrus has a show called Hannah Montana on some station...just saw it listed on the DirecTV guide, can't remember what station it was on...thinking it was the Hallmark channel. If I remember correctly, I think his daughter is in it with him. Remember seeing him on an awards show or something not too long ago talking about it and she was with him.

KATHY...V's work...they say it is mandatory but he could take the day off if he wanted. The money is so good though so he works. He gets tired of it but he still does it and has been for years. He's been with the company for 9 years now and no they never make their quota, lol. They get pretty close though. Have to especially when the planes are sold! That wife Swap was a funny one because the house she went to was a pig sty-you would not believe! And the woman that went to the goat house was anal about cleaning and keeping to her schedule. Her hubby was too. It's pretty funny sometimes but then other times it makes me angry when some of the people judge the others because they are not up too their standards, ugh. Glad you guys had a great time at the concert!

SHEL...how are you doing today? Did you get to FitDay?

Guess that's about all I have...gonna go look up some things and do some reading. See ya :wave:

Danger, danger Will Robinson...DD met a guy that reminds her of the ex.....scary...she still in love with him you know, the ex...her head says no but her heart says yes...she has been dating, not seriously with any one guy, I hope she doesn't fall for this one for a surrogate.....we think that DS dated a girl Tess because she looked like a girl he was in love with named Felicia...Felicia is around again...dating a guy DS works with..was at the apartment the other night...DD says she is cuter than ever...hopefully DS doesn't do anything really stupid..I LOVE his gf Alicia...and I hope DD doesn't fall for the ex look & act alike..... my head is spinning.......

hi yall
 

well we didnt go to nashville, we went out to dinner at the bonefish grill, it was really good. the kids spent the night at the in-laws. it was a nice relaxing evening. then this morning i woke up with a daggum migraine, so ive spent the whole day in the bed today.....grrrrrr!! hopefully i will be able to sleep tonight since i have to be at work at 7 am in the morning. we are planning on going to nashville with in the next month or so. well im going to get my shower and try to get to sleep.
nite nite,
shawna

danger danger Will Robinson......over,danger over....what show is that from Jules??? Yikes on the DD attraction to a look alike.
hmmmm, dare I dare say I was thinking of Mike in a sexual way this morning?
Naw, I better not...lol
Ick - I was though. Hands down best sex I ever had....yikes, should I say that?? ha
anyway, brownie sugar high happening!
I think I am going to bed after a cool shower . I dread the weigh in tomorrow, I am sure I have gained back.....my sisters say "you look healthy" whatEVER,,,I call it fat,fat,fat.....point me in the fried chicken direction and I am one happy camper. *oink,*oink.....
It was just the sisters today and their families - 1sis and 2 brothers MIA. Maybe next month we will have calmed down......can't we all just get a long? It will be Rachels B-Day I mentioned going down to Enchanted Forest and they agreed....that might be fun.
I am soooooo far behind & salaried too Jules. I just do what I can in 8 hours and I am out of there - there will always be work.

anyway.....I am exhausted. Hope you all have had a nice weekend......

chat tomorrow and don't forget weigh in!!! yay.....:carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Hi

I too am dreading the weigh in. I was thinking the other day that I may be feeling some more room in my jeans in the thy region (though not the gut :( ) but this morning there was the dreaded pulling on of the jeans after they had just been washed. So much for the extra room...it was more like a sausage casing and they were unwearable. UGH. I will be amazed if I haven't gained a pound.

Shawna - hope that migrane gets better :(

Hey Ladies.

Feeling okay today. Just really tired. I'm glad this was my "Friday" Now I'm off for 3 days! :D

Work is taking its toll on me.............Just a lot of drama again........I know there is drama at every workplace but I'm just glad I'm off for a few days! lol.

Will come back in later on today after I've gotten some sleep :tired: and respond to posts.

I hope you all are doing well! :hug:
