Happy New Year ladies Hope all of you are ok

I ask them to take my application out of the running for Branch Manager. It's a long story that I won't get into but after thinking and praying about it I did the right thing.

The carpenters came yesterday and replaced 3 windows and I am getting new doors.

I am up about 3 lbs. I have got to get back op and start exercising.

DH and I argued all day yesterday abut the most silly things oh well.


well I better go and shut up so I don't bore all of you. How do you like the new site? Sorry I missed chat last night I forgot about it.

What I did RIGHT yesterday...hmmm...
 

I ate supremely well...low carb/within points range, good variety.
I drank at least 8 8ouncers.
I walked, in the rain mind you, for 30 minutes.
I chatted with Lucky.
I did some deep breathing, relaxation before my nap before work.
I resisted to urges, offers and temptations of all the goodies that are still at all the nurses stations. GOOD STUFF, TOO! ;)

That's it for now...I'm feeling real good about all this.

I'll be back...

:drill: Good to hear from you this morning Private Kat. :lol:

I'm feeling pretty strong today. I am such a total dweeb. I must have totally missed the fact that you guys were chatting last night. I did a big NOTHING yesterday and would have loved to have chatted with you guys. Of course, I would have had to fight to get dh off the computer.....he was on it ALL day!

I'm kinda taking a page out of Baylee's book. I had planned to go and buy me a big calendar and use it to record my points, water and exercise BUT my Mom bought me one and saved me the trouble! It is a big wall size calendar with bears on it. I love teddy bears....and the squares are big enough that I can write down my points for the day, how much water I drank and what exercise I did. It's a good way to be able to look at a glance and see what I did and what I'm doing. Thanks for the idea Baylee. It was a very good one.

Tracy: We've not heard from you in a couple of days.......where are you? Don't give up on us. :grouphug:

I wish I had time to respond to everyone, but I'm here at work and my time is limited unfortunately. I've been working on this post forever......even as small as it is, because I can't concentrate because my stupid co-worker keeps talking to me! :headache: I have to be careful not to put my foot in my mouth :foot: with her though, because I'm stuck working with her more than anyone else......but I wish she would just shut up already!

Ok, enough griping for now, just wanted to pop in and talk with you guys a few minutes this morning. Starting my morning off with you just makes my day go better. Take care and I will see you tonight. :love:

New day... new beginning...
 

Good morning all of you lovely ladies. :wave:

This is my new beginning today. Today is the day I am "officially" reshaping my life. I am a like a huge glob of clay. A big round moldable glob of clay. And I am going to work with this glob until I look more like a normal person. ;)

I too am going to "write" down everything I eat.
I too am going to "write" down everything I drink.
I too am going to "write" down everything I do for exercise.
I too am going to "write" down my gratitude list "daily"
I too am going to "write" down my emotions and work thru them instead of eat through them.

I am going to do whatever it takes.

Michelle... you mentioned exercising with a two year old.
Get out the stroller and walk. Kids love taking walks. They love being outdoors...even when cold. In fact... the fresh air is good for them... and us.
You also mentioned you have Super Bowl parties. A good "healthy" snack for that is hard boil some eggs. Dye them brown like a football and use magic marker or crayons to draw on the leather strings. I also make my own cheese ball and roll in nuts... shape as a football. Heck, you could just reshape any cheese ball. LOL

Mary.. I am sure your decision to withdraw was the right one since you gave it a lot of thought..... but please know we would NOT be bored if you shared more info. We love knowing about you and your life. Heck... I bore you guys with details of my life all the time.... LOL

Thin... thanks for starting the new thread. I was sure looking forward to reading a post too. :p

Kat... I am following in your footsteps... I am right behind you. You are making a GREAT start on this new way of life.

Tina... as far as your gabby coworker goes....
there is an old saying.... "if you can't change a situation... then change your attitude about that situation"
Soooooo... what you need to do is look at her as a "teacher".
She is teaching you "patience", "the value of silence", and " how to stop talking". LOL.
Plus... she is teaching you gratitude. You are ever so grateful everytime she leaves. :lol:
She sounds like a VERY GOOD TEACHER to me. lol :p

Okay ladies... I have got to run. All of you MIA's get back here. :drill:

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my birthday horoscope with everyone. I took it as a good sign of things to come in the new year.
Thursday January 2,
Your ambitiuos objectives are likely to be much bigger in the year ahead than they have been in the past. With the greater motivation they'll generate in you, the rewards will be greater as well.
Be back later.
Steph

Hello everyone :)

Well, I am back online again. My mom, my neice, and I went to that casino new years eve thing. We didn't get home until 6am that morning, then the lady is calling me at noon, telling me "lets go shopping" ........... my gosh..she is gonna wear me out!

Okay, today is actually my official start day, because I KNEW I would be setting myself up to feel like I failed, if I started on the first, or anytime sooner. So, today is the day, have everything ready to start, going to take Sequoia for a walk, and that will get my exercise in.

*hugs*
Cindy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR STEPHHHHHH
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU !!!!!! :gift:

I bet you thought we forgot.... :no:
Just almost. :lol:

Happy Birthday Steph !!!!!

Happy Birthday Steph :)

I just read some of the posts I missed, and had to come back and make some comments.
Tina #270, Sara.....your posts were sad, heartwarming, and motivational. My mom was in two car accidents within the span of two years. The first one my mom was a passenger in a taxi cab, and the dumb jerk went through a light to turn, luckily my mom was sitting in the front, because the spot where she would have been sitting was totally smashed in. She ended up with broken ribs and numerous bumps and bruises. I spent everyday with her in the hospital until she was released. In April 02, I got a call in the wee hours of the morning, my uncle just blurted out to me on the phone, that my mom, uncle, aunt, and cousin were in a car accident. My mom was in surgery, they were performing open heart on her, due to they thought she ruptured her main artery in her heart. All I can remember as I drove to the hospital, was thinking how scared my mom was, and I just cried the whole way there. I later found out the truck hit a patch of black ice and the truck flipped 3x, my cousin was thrown from the vehicle and died before paramedics arrived. It was a very hard time for me, I had my mom in ICU in one hospital, my uncle was in ICU in another, and my aunt who had a broken neck was on another floor. Not to mention, my brother was on another floor, for back surgery. The loss of my cousin was very hard for everyone, especially her dad, who was the one driving. He stopped taking care of himself, and since he had diabetes, the results weren't good. He passed away this past November.
Okay off of this subject
Well ladies I want to thank you again for welcoming me to this group, yours posts have already helped me, and I look forward to a successful journey with you all.
*hugs*

Morning Lady's

I feel so anxious and nervous to start this new year, I want it to be one of the best, there's so much in my life that I want to change, and I'm not sure how to go about it. Well I definelty know what I should do to lose weight, and I'm gonna try my hardest, there's no reason to stay fat and unhealthy, It's me that's stopping me from reaching my goal, nobody else, and why would I want to stay the way I am, so from this day on I am taking control of my life, and vow to be healthier, and thinner by 2004.

My other issue I want to change is my relationship with fiance, were not doing to good, I lay in bed every night wondering, how I can change things and make him understand my points and views, we are totally different people, I'm almost on the verge of packing up and leaving, but when I think about it, I don't know how I could do it finacially, as well as all the bills we have acumulated together, our furnature, and vehicles. And we have a son together, and that's the main reason were still together. Weve been together 7yrs yesterday, and he's a really good guy, and the things we fight about are minor, but I'm frustrated to no end, He likes hunting, fishing, and watching sports, and that's all he does, as soon as he walks in the house, he goes straight to the couch and that's were he stays, he eat's in front of the TV, and he sleeps on the couch, every weekend. As well as he's got no morals, or values, that I can see anyway's, He has a very crude mouth, and is always singing, bad songs, Like RAPE ME, by Nirvana, and he thinks it's cute when our son, starts singing and dancing to these songs, I'm constantly, asking him to watch his mouth, but every second word is the F word. He doesn't help out around the house, unless I ***** and complain, and then we get into fights because I have to ***** and complain to get him to do anything, he can't even hang up his jacket when he walks in the door, and I'm constantly picking up dirty dishes, and garbage off the coffee table.
I grew up in a very religous Baptist home, and my father was very helpful around the house and we never heard him swear, and always went out of his way to take us out and do fun things, And I want my son to grow up having good values and morals, I take him to sunday school, and get him to say his prayers at night as well as I have started to read him Bible stories, and I want to better my self, and start controling my mouth and the things I say, but when you live with a person, who doesn't care about your feelings, and constantly fighting with me, and telling me if it's not done my way then its wrong, when all I want is for him to clean up his mouth, help out around the house, and pay more attention to his family, then to the TV, and things he only enjoys. If he would only clean up after himself, then I wouldn't be *****ing at him all the time, and we wouldn't be fighting, but he just wont change, he'll try for a couple of days, and then gets lazy, and we start fighting. I need help.
I would love to get counseling, just so he can hear my point of view instead of turning it into a yelling match.
I want to be in love with this man, but I'm not, I haven't told him I loved him in years, and I'm constantly calling him down, and telling him I hate him. I know I have alot of issues to work out as well, even my mom says, I talk to mean to him. This year if we don't get counselling and things don't change, I'm not going to continue on with this relationship, he thinks there's nothing wrong and is constantly telling me he loves me but his actions dont show it, and I have a right be happy, I've always blamed my weight for my promblems, that if I lost weight, I'd be a happy person, and fiance would love me more, and help me out more, but I don't believe that's true anymore, we need intervention, cause we can't make the changes on our own.

Also, I want to be a better mother, Im very cranky and *****y, and son take alot of my yelling, he's only a 5yr old acting like a 5yr old, and I'm not letting him, I get so irritated over the smallest things. I don't want my son to hate me when he's older, and all his memorys be that mom was always cranky and yelling. Maybe I'm just depressed and there's medicine out there to help me, I don't know, but I do know that as of today, things are going to change, I will not be a fat, grumpy old ***** any more, I want to enjoy life, and I want someone to enjoy it with me. I deserve to be in love and to be loved.

I guess I should stop ranting, really want to delete this post, all my litte secrets are out there for every one to see, but I decided last night as I cried my self to sleep, things were going to change. Sorry for putting a damper on your day, I just need to get this off my chest and tell someone.

Does anyone know who won the ROSE BOWL game?
(hehehehehe)

Oh, Duckie.... I have to say I agree with all of Baylee's statements. Just think it all through...you can't change someone else. I will be keeping you in my prayers.

Today has been good on the food front. Work was UGH, work....I have to find a job I like.

ITS OFFICIAL!
 

Ok you all...its hiney kicking time! Its official! I rejoined Weight Watchers tonight!! And the damage isn't as bad as I thought it would be!! I am woman hear me roar! DETERMINATION is the name of the game....who wants to play?????

Well well...Duckie...let me just tell you one thing sweetie!! I was reading your post and I had to keep looking at the name because I could have written that post just over 4 years ago...only add that my ex was an alcoholic and drug addict who did physical abuse too....some think I'm crazy but I felt the verbal abuse was much worse than the physical...and just one day it hit me that I had had enough and I left....I moved to Pennsylvania and haven't looked back since!! I met a wonderful man and we now have a 2 year old son together and I couldn't be happier!! It was the best thing I ever did in my life! It was hard...but it had to be done. You need to get to counseling yourself and build your self esteem back up....then take one step at a time...work on whatever you need to do to get yourself out of that situation. If you have to sell your car and buy a cheaper one then do so....check out government programs to help you live on your own with your son...even if you have to turn to the welfare system. Children are not happy living in a tense household...trust me on that one!! Once you are on your own you will also find the strength to lose the weight and take care of yourself. I lost the 97 lbs once I left my ex. It was soooo easy then! So now that I babbled on and on.....

2Cute....your egg idea is cute...only thing is it took me a few minutes to realize you were talking about drawing on the shell with a magic marker...I was thinking you meant the eggs themselves and I said eeeeewwwww! LOL Then I went DUH!!!

Tina Belina!! Aren't some co-workers just annoying??? How are you doing girlfriend???

Mary...you would never bore us! I love hearing about everyone's trials and tribulations...makes me feel so much closer to you all....

Lucky....have you heard anything about that job yet? I;m sure I missed something there!!

Wow Cindy...my heart goes out to your family....that has to be hard losing a close family member like that....I feel for the dad! I can't even imagine how he must feel!!

Kat seems like you are off to a good start!! I am right there behind you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!! One day you me and Kat will get together!!

Baylee....have fun at work!!

Ok I have been here long enough and my little guy wants a drink...I'll talk to you all later!!

TTFN Michelle

Hello ladies
Work was soso today.
Let me tell you a little of what happened, the old branch manager told me to apply for the job she was going to recomend me, that I was the best person for the job.The job required a 4 year degree but they would consider waving it since noone had applied that had one. I only have a GED which is suppose to be as good as a diploma. Last week end she called a friend of mine that is the susstitute at the library and told her to apply that I probably wouldn't the job because I didn't have a diploma and she did. She didn't even bother to explain things to me or anything. Tuesday my friend applied, which was fine with me her husband just lost his job and she needs the job. I am satoisfied with the job I have, But at least Dianne could have done was talk to me. So after lots of consideration I removed my name from consideration. When I called Dianne and told her what I was doing all she could say was that it was the best thing I could do, no I'm sorry or anything. I am fine with my decision but I am hurt that she kept things from me the way she did.

Enough of that. I was good today I didn't eat anything between meals even though I wanted to.
I really need all of your support to put all this behind me and do my job as best I can. My friend has her interview Tuesday afternoon. I am proud for her. She was afraid to tell me she was applying because she didn't want to hurt my feelings

On a better note Happy Birthday Steph.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. Duckie- I hope you are able to work out your problems. Just remember your feelings matter and you should be valued as a person. That kind of environment isn't good for you or your son. Just remember that we're always here to listen when you want to vent. Mary- sorry about the job, but if you are happy with your decision, then good for you. Dianne shouldn't have misled you. Well today went off without a hitch. Here's to many more.
Steph

Happy Birthday, to you! :) Happy Birthday, to you! :) Happy Birthday, dear Steph! :) Happy Birthday, to you! :) and many more!

DH was in a car accident on the way home tonight. He's fine, but his new car isn't. Stupid pizza delivery kid. The pizza place just started delivery service tonight. Think he'll be out of a job???

We're in the middle of a HUGE snow storm. I'll try and get back later.

Mary.... I know how you feel... but remember this. Dianna doesn't know everything. You would have made a GREAT head librarian. Remember that Micheal Jordon's high school basketball coach told him he wasn't good enough for the high school team. He may have been the coach... but it didn't mean he was right.
You are worthy and qualified for that job... whether you get it or not. Hold your head up HIGH and stand PROUD. :D Yes you were cheated and it was not fair or right. But... life has never been fair.

Lucky... this is your lucky day... I happen to know who won the Rose Bowl. :lol: ;)

Well ladies... I stayed on program today. :D
It depressed me rather than cheered me up... but I made it.
The first couple of days can be hard.
I seem to notice just how "FAT" I am when I first start. :(
I can deny my real weight problem... and think I only have a hundred to lose instead of 200. LOL
I did not do all of my writing... but I will tomorrow.
That is a pledge to all of you.
It is now going on 2am so I am headed for bed.
bye, bye :wave:

Good morning everyone! :)
It is very, very early in the morning here. I don't know if I should post this in this thread or not.

Well I have some good news, I weighed myself yesterday, and I don't weigh what I thought I did, I am at 237, don't know what happened to those other pounds, but hey! who am I to argue? :)

Okay, I have not a clue as to how you all remember what each person said, and then you post a response, one thing I know for sure, you all are good at it! :) I guess it will take me some time.

Have a good day :)
Cindy

Hello Ladies!!!

How is everyone? I haven't posted in a while. I am still OP. I am sooo glad the holidays are over!!!! I lost only 1 pound within these two weeks, but I am glad that I didn't gain! To much wine and food!! Now I am really back on track with everything. How has everyone been doing? It is nice to be back in the saddle again.

Have a great day!!!

Good Morning, kiddies...
 

Ugh...nasty weather today! Sleety, icy, snowy...it can't quite make up it's mind what to do. The kids were SO hopeful that school would be cancelled...SORRY!!!! It's not that bad out, just a pain in the butt to drive in.

Okay...first things first...

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, STEPH!! :queen: :gift: :hb: I hope it was wonderful for you!

Duckie, I can only add to what the others have said, you are a good person and deserve to be happy. Your son deserves a happy home. Please be good to yourself and to your son and do what's best for the both of you. BIG {{{hugs}}} to both of you!

Mary, I'm sorry about the job...and the underhanded way that you were treated. You have handled yourself with dignity...showing that you are a better person...I KNOW they will be sorry that they passed you by. Come on, girls...we are going to Mississippi to boycott Mary's library!!!!

Thin...gee, that stinks about dh's car, but I'm glad he's OK! Now that we got my dh's car back, my daughter's car is in the shop...she had her license for precisely one week when it crapped out. We've only had it since July. NOW it poops out on us! grrr...

2cute...come on cheer up! We'are all in this together! Don't look at that big number. Concentrate on a small obtainable goal. We're gonna string a bunch of them together and get the job done!

Cindy...don't be too impressed with our powers of memory!! Just scroll on back and read what everyone said! I'm forever scrolling back and forth...I can't remember what I said two minutes ago! Maybe a daily dose of Gingko Biloba is in order for me this year!

Blast! I just saw how late it is. I have my library duties to perform this morning, so I have to run...I'll get to the rest of you all later!

:wave:

First of all, let me say to Steph: :hat: I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I am so sorry I missed it! :gift:

I had planned on hopping in here last night, but I kinda got busy and flopped out. Please forgive me. :^: I came home from work and cooked dinner and when dh got home from work, we went to see "Sweet Home Alabama". Now, if your not from the south, you may not truly appreciate this movie, but we absolutely loved it. I can't wait for it to come out on dvd, because it will be mine!

I am happy to report that day two came off without any hitches! I stayed within my points and drank 10.....yes, count them! 10 8 oz glasses of water.....of course I had to get up in the middle of the movie twice and go to the bathroom! :lol:

Food has been really good and I'm feeling strong. Hope your all having a wonderful day and I will see you later!

Good morning
 

Well... day one went well. :D I stuck to my food plan and drank only water all day. I did not do all my writing... but I am going to as soon as I click off of here. I guess I came across more depressed than I actually was yesterday. Thanks for all of your concern.

I am blank to anything to say this morning.
Thin.... I am soo glad your husband is okay. Did he total the car? How much snow are you getting? We are getting more snow this year than we usually get in 5 years.

Baylee... I thought I had a good start to today... but you put me under the table. LOL Way to go girl !!!

Tina... I too loved "Sweet home Alabama". But I love Reese Witherspoon. She is sooo cute. Congratulations on your great day.

Kat... you are such a sweetheart. :love: I am cheered up.
I had a good day yesterday and I plan on having an even better day today. As we said... 2003 is the year for me.

Tonya... welcome back. That is great losing during the holidays. If you can do that... you definitely can go all the way.

Cindy... It took me a long time to figure out how to scroll and find the posts... but once you find it... you will be shocked how easy it is. LOL Like Baylee said... just scroll down and it will be there.

I know a couple of people have made comments about how little room there is to reply in. If you hit the "post a reply" button you have more room than if you reply in the little quick reply box.
The post reply button is green and you can find it just above the quick reply section (to the right).

Duckie... there is a saying I heard long ago and I think it is true.
"you are as fat as you are secretive". I find that a lot of us overweight women hold everything inside. I am glad you shared your little secrets with us. I feel honored with your willingness to open up with us. :love:
You said qoute... "I decided last night as I cried myself to sleep that things are going to change".
Duckie... many have said this already.... "HE" is not the one who will be changing. It has to be YOU.
We as wives often spend all of our efforts trying to change our husbands when we should be changing ourselves. We need to quit acccepting unacceptable behavior. We teach our husbands and children how they are allowed to treat us. Has yelling and fighting ever fixed your problems? If not... don't yell and fight anymore.
Change is DIFFICULT. Whether we are changing our eatting habits, changing jobs, changing ourselves. But if where we are at is unacceptable.... then change is the only way out.

I am overstepping my bounds if I tell you what has to change in YOUR life.... but I feel change is inevitable. What you have now is obviously unacceptable to you. But I suggest a good place to start is to change YOUR behavior and realize you can't change his... no matter how much you beg, fight or cry.

I will close with another saying I heard that made a lot of sense to me....
"There is a big differnece in believing in God and Believing God."
Believe that God can and will provide for you... if you let him.

Thank you, 2cute, you really make alot of sense, and I know I have a lot of things to change as well, in the way I speak and ask him to do things, I know I don't come off sounding the nicest, I'm all teary eyed right now,cause you make so much sense, and I know your right.
Thanks to all my other angels, and you suggestions, it's nice to know some one cares, and is listening.

written in love...
 

Duckie... {{{{ HUGS }}}}
I hope you know that we are here for you.
Just remember... we care. We can not solve any problems for you... but we can be here for you while you find your own solutions. {{{ HUGS }}}

My daughter just cooked me lunch....
 

ALERT !!!!

I have found a good fish... Tilapia. You can buy at WalMart... a bag of four, individually wrapped in the frozen food section in some Walmarts.. but in most Walmarts they are in the deli, in a seperate frozen food section. They are big and only 1 point per fillet. (less than salmon). Here they only cost $1.99 a bag of 4.

My daughter has cooked in both a lemon pepper marinade and a garlic/olive oil marinade. Today she just lightly floured and seasoned with garlic and salt/pepper ... then pan fried in the smallest amount of olive oil possible. It was delicious !!! :T

Just had to share this because I have never been a fish eater and they are so good for you. If you are like me and afraid to try new fishes.... don't be afraid of this one.
It REALLY is good. :lol:

Just wanted to thank Thin for the birthday card. I got it in the mail today. I had a nice quiet birthday at home with the family. Today, we went to see Disney on Ice Princess Classics with my son's class. It was a really good show. Still staying op. Thin- glad to hear that your husband is ok. Sorry about the car. Tina- I loved Sweet Home Alabama as well, and I live no where near the South. Well, talk to you all later.
Steph

It's me... AGAIN. :lol:
I just wanted to come share that I have followed my plan today.
I wrote down the food I have eaten.
I wrote out my gratitude list.
I wrote out a positive affirmation.... " I grow stronger with every minute that I follow my program."
I have written about my emotions and not eaten over any.
I have also written down the amount of water I am drinking.

BOY... I feel skinnier already. :smug:

I am going to be tested tonight. :^:
We are going out to eat at a restaurant where we get appetizers and desserts. I know I can resist desserts... but those blooming onions just love to jump into my mouth. LOL
But I will stand STRONG !!! :strong: Not because I am so good... but rather because I don't want to come back here and report that I gave in. LOL
Have a grreat day everyone. :wave:

2Cute...we will be waiting with baited breath to see if those onions got ya tonight!! I know they would get me for sure!!

Well ladies....my very first day OP and I drank my water and wrote in my journal and I think I got enough exercise at work today since it was the busiest day since I started there..up down, bending over, standing up, walking to the back, counting money and 7 trips to the bank! Phew....I'm exhausted! I also still have 12 points left and I'm not even hungry! Can you stand it? I really want this weight to come off so hopefully I will be able to resist and bank some points for when I really need or rather WANT them!

John went to a friend's house to watch the game tonight so its just me and my little guy tonight. WHen I get off here I am going to do the dishes John so willingly left in the sink for me today and then change the sheets on the beds and then Andrew and I will hop in bed and watch MR. Deeds. I fell asleep on it last night so we will finish it tonight!

With that said...I will hop off here and get my rear in gear!

TTFN Michelle

Hi Friends
I am so looking forward to a great new year. I have had many successes last year, even though they were not weight losses it still counts for me.
I have missed many group meetings with TOPS but not this year, I can see now that having friends does help a lot.
I wish you all have a great weekend and I'll checking in lighter!

Thanks for the kind words about the job. It is cold here but at least no snow.

End of this thread
 

Well ladies... it is time to move on to the next thread.

STOP !!!!!! Do Not Post Here .....
INSTEAD COME JOIN US IN 300+ ..#262
See you all there :wave:

I am so impressed with all of your advice to Duckie.

Michelle, Congrats on joining WW.

Mary, Dianne is a spineless (as Baylee pointed out). And as 2Cute stated Micheal Jordon's high school basketball coach told him he wasn't good enough for the high school team. Kat, I will be in on the library boycott!!

Steph Belated Happy Birthday.:gift: :hat: :dance:

Cindy, what a nice surprise to find out you have less weight to lose. You are :lucky: since most of the time it is the other way around. :lol:

Tonya, nice to have you back in the saddle...post often, okay?

:flow1:Yeah Tina :flow1:

Baylee, I feel kinda guilty, do you - no snow here!!!! NOT !!!!!!

To be continued:
