Hmmm..... Danielle, you raise an interesting point. Instead of using the 240v label I could use, say, the 60v label. Yes, yes I think you're onto something...

Well I finally made it today!!! Been one of those days starting out with an exam that I have a feeling I aced. But I spent my morning studying. After classes I went to get groceries and to find a deal on a new thermometer for the school, theirs broke so pta bought a new one. Then I had this huge miscommunication fiasco with my older daughter and her getting home from school which entailed me driving all over town! IN the rain! And then yesterday I thought I had a meeting at school...nope its tonight! I just hate days like this!! Af is giving me fits! But I'm getting my water in and we are having a really good dinner tonight...beef n broccoli over rice! YUM!

Mia...what a little princess you have!! I've got one of those skinny husbands too, although he constantly thinks he needs to lose weight...bratS!! when I switched scales it put me up a bunch too, just remember its just a number and scales are for fish! LOL!!

Heather!! congrats on your acceptance!! I'm so happy you got in somewhere you are excited about!! I hope your foot feels better soon!

Trish...okay girl did you get that exercise in? I know what you mean about school, I've had times where I felt like I should take a semester off and work and catch us up on some financial stuff but everyone tells me dont you dare, once you stop you wont go back. So I didnt.

Liz...the characters in your life crack me up! LOL!! Jim the lunch stealer. Reminds me of that friends episode where someone ate Ross' sandwich! LOL!! Maybe you need to REALLY start messing with him! LOL!

Bonnie...wtg on that exercise today!!! WOOHOO!! 300 crunches...are you crazy! LOL!! Excellent job!

Amanda...CHEATER!! LOL, jk. Its okay to share your wonderfulness with others just dont abandon us!! LOL! oh and hey.....bob is my boyfriend so back off!!! LOL!! Isnt he just a doll! Although I'm not liking his hair, I'm sure it'll grow on me!

Danielle...I dunno if I like Bobs hair!! But I fell in love with him again when he took his team to workout after they lost the competition so that they werent feeding their emotions. He is just the best!! I dunno about Kim yet, I think I like her better than Jillian but we'll see. I puffy heart bob!

Sara....WTG!!! congrats on your victory!! You are just shrinking away! And see you didnt have to run to do it!! Way to go!! Keep up the good work and just think of all those skinny clothes in your future!

Whew!!! I made it!! I hope everyone is having a warm snuggly evening! Its so rainy and cold here and out into it I got to go listen to a forum in interviewing tips...wooohooo!!! I know you are all just green with envy! I may be late again tomorrow morning, another exam! Have a great one!! Its WI day for me! Last one before I start counting leaves!! Hey how is everyone doing on their miles for their challenge trip?

~melissa

Never ever!

I hope you have a great evening. Glad you got a chance to pop in and congrats on acing the test!

There ya are Melissa! So good to have you with us finally today. I am more than positive you aced your test, you are such a smartie!!! I have to giggle at your mistake about your meeting for tonight--it is so me! Can't tell ya how many times I've insisted certain things were on certain dates, only to realize that I was either a day ahead or behind! Hence the reason I got a PalmPilot for Xmas 2 years ago! lol As for it being warm and snuggly....good lordy no it's not! Please, someone crank up the a/c it's hot in here!!!! Keepin my fingers crossed for your weigh-in tomorrow. I have mine too, AF has been here so I dunno what to expect. At least I can look back on the week with my head held high though!!! BTW, I like Bob's hair!!! DS's hair is cut in a very similar style but alot shorter in the back...he doesn't have that mullet thing happening like Bob's is tending to do. LOL His laugh gets me, it makes me smile cause it can be so dorky sometimes. I ♥ Bob!

Amanda, yes yes....you can show 'em whose boss now! Maybe now they'll letcha start playin with all the tools & wires?! heehee Where exactly are all these stickers going? Would be funny to watch a bunch of macho men cry wouldn't it?

♥danielle

i have a ? for all you bl fans do that bob guy have a workout video? i know they have the bl site but i really didnt want to pay for another online site

yes he does!! Its the biggest loser workout and he's amazing on it!! He'll kick your butt!! The dvd is great it has 4 different workouts warm up and cool down. Be ready to do some squats and lunges though, he just loves those!

~melissa

the dvd is great. While the group has issues staying together, the actual moves he has you doing are amazing. When I was doing it consistently several months back, I had great results in my lower body, especially my hips.

thanks im going to have to give it a try

Oh the weigh in...

Ok, I'll finish out the weigh ins for the challenge, but it's against my better judgment!! Dangblasted instrument of evil!

I need to log my exercise. I have to try to remember it cause I haven't been doing it....

Mia - BTW, you're little darling is adorable!

TGIF I am soo glad that this week has come to and end. I am soo sore from working out yesturday and then I took my two mile walk. I am going to get ready to walk to the store I have decided to go shopping for a bit. I am going to check out Halloween Decorations. I will be the first to say that I always go over board I have sooo Much stuff. Expecially when it comes to christmas I start in Nov . So by christmas I will have all my decoration up.

I hope that everyone is doing well and making their goals I drank 4 of my 6 bottles of water yesturday and that made me feel good. I have to run and I will check back in later.

I'm sorry, I forgot to answer your question Danielle. The company I work for manufactures controls for robots. The robots are used in auto plants and industrial factories.

You know I was thinking this morning that I could test their math skills. Instead of putting 60v tags on 240v circuit breakers, I'll put four 60v tags on those circuit breakers. That way they can't accuse me of sabatoge. That's what I'm doing on Saturday as well as putting serial number stickers on the components used to make the controls. Then I'll have to put the part numbers and serial numbers on the controls themselves. It's very tedious.
The production group leader asked me if I'd be willing to stay until 2:30 instead of noon to work a full eight hours. I told him, "OK. Noon it is!"

Morning Bonnie! You're such an inspiration. I can't say that enough times to you. There's a Kmart almost a mile away from me and a grocery store across the street. I really should walk to those places more often.
I love to decorate for Christmas too. I've sort of taken over the lobby at my job. It used to look so crappy! I bought some plants, and I decorate for the seasons. I just decorated for fall!

Good Morning lovelies!!! I had to pop in quickly and let you know WI results...down 1 lb!! Not to bad considering yesterday I had peanut M&Ms for lunch!!! Its AF's fault! Shes trying to kick my butt but I still lost a lb despite her and her evil cravings!! Okay, off to study some more before my exam in 45 minutes! Have a wonderful morning all!

~melissa

WOOOHOOO Danielle!! Way to go on the loss lady!!! And now the exercise can begin!! I think we are both going to be ripping down some leaves next week!! I'm excited to start!

How come its so quiet here today? Everyone okay? I hope so! I'm having a great day so far. Sticking to plan, thought for sure I was gonna need a coffee this morning since I got up at 530 to study but so far I've been okay, no mochas for me! Thank goodness its the weekend though! Tomorrow I plan to do nothing but clean and clean and clean this nasty house.

Well I'm off to school again for an assembly. Should be fun, its American Indian Heritage day I bet it'll be really interesting. I hope everyone gets a moment to check in! Have a wonderful afternoon!
