Noelle, Dont feel bad. I stepped on the scales this morning and lets just say there is alot more of me to love. I am craving anything and everything this month and it is annoying. I swear I could just sit and eat nonstop.

We can get Tiger shrimp up here but they are so expensive that I have never had them.

Cherie, I am glad that you and Alan had a great weekend together.

You know I am kind of gald that Halloween is Friday b/c I will still be PMSing a little. That wasy if I blow it it wont be twice in one month. Ha, I knew I could finf a way to eat that candy.

Julie I think I am just going to do weights. I don't know who long I can do it for though. SIcne I have been sick the past few weeks I am just going to let my body tell when to stop. And if I still have some time left over before I have to clock back in I might hit the tanning bed.

I know Kempy. I guarantee I am pigging out on the candy. Last year was so hard to give it away but I was so gungho about dieting then...right now it seems to have slipped away. Plus we have 3 kids that are going to want to get every last bit of candy they can and no bed time because it is Friday. I will try to make dad come pick up a bunch of it though.....maybe.

Julie, I missed your post. I am baking Blueberry cake,brownies,mini cakes,croissants,cookies and whoopie pies today plus all the donuts. Too many temptations.

Yum Angie!

Do the best you can Kempy! The tanning bed sounds good. I need something to warm my bones up!

I think I have pms too. I am on a new pill and I have to take it continueously (sp). So I feel blah, spotting and my body is having a hard time adjusting. I feel like I have been bloated for a month. I think I am going to give in a little this Friday and have a tiny bit of candy, okay it will probally be a little more than tiny! Hehe

We changed our minds about what to do Friday night. We are goignt o have a party at our house. We all still have to dress up though. Joe is still going to do the Hooter's gilr thing (I am kind of worried about him wanting to do that hehe) I think I am going to dress up as one of the people that are coming to our party. There is this guy that has been friends with my sister since high shcool and he was my hair dresser until he moved away. Well, I thought it would be funny to dress up like him from a few years ago. I just hope he thinks it is funny. I can sound like him too with a few things so I hope he will catch on.

Now I am sitting here trying to think about what to do for food that will be festive and cheap.

OK I think Angie is living in paradise! Or is it "temptation island"... My God woman I don't know how you do it, creating all those things and not taking a bite or nibble here and there. I would be like, "oops, I broke that one, gotta eat it" .

Hey Julie, paradise is hot and muggy today. I hate changing BCP, that's the pits. Hope your body gets back to normal soon.

Kempy, anytime (no matter what TOM) a man opens his mouth I want to bite his head off too . Hey everybody, let's have a seafood buffet. Angie will bring the lobsters, Kempy will bring those jumbo shrimp and I'll supply the sashimi, sushi and soy sauce . Oh, mustn't forget the drawn butter and garlic for dipping. Who's bringing the scallops and oysters?

Cherie, glad your visit went well. I almost got scared for you when I read the first sentence of your post: ...my company is finally gone... I thought you meant your company (work) was gone . Whew! I'm glad that wasn't the case.

OK I have a question for you girls: when you are PMSing, what do you crave? Salty, sweet, savory?... I like to eat salted peanuts with nestle's toll house chocolate chips. So I would say salty/sweet. I've been really grouchy lately (just ask Rick) and I'm supposed to have my TOM next week--and it better darn well come because I AM NOT going to be happy if it starts when I go on my trip !

Hey Jacks, where are ya? How was your weekend run? Do tell!

Hello to everyone else. Come out and post you slackers

Noelle I can bring the oysters too. They are pretty poular down here. Exspecially in the Quarter.

I usually crave sweet and sweet. I maen the sweeter it is the longer I will eat it. I have eaten so much sugar before that my teeth hurt. Isn't that gross!

Man Noelle you are up early. Isn't it only 5 Am over there. Or is it 6, I think I read somewhere that you guys don't follow the time change.

Can anyone else tell that I have nothing to do today?

Noelle do you really know what I crave when I am pms'ing......I bake brownies spread them with peanut butter and plain salty potatoe chips on top. You have all of your pms food groups-sweet, savory, and salty! Its my very own pms recipe!

mmmm, Julie I like that recipe, sounds naughty! I can imagine the soft chewiness of the brownie and the salty crunchiness of the chips . We actually have a company here that makes fudge with crushed potato chips and salted macadamia nuts cooked in--now if that's not a PMS recipe then I don't know what is!

Kempy, bring it on! I like my oysters on the grill with a little fresh spinach and cheese, then top it off with garlic-chili pepper water. Look at me today--all I can think about is food. I guess I'm just dreaming about it because I'm not indulging in it. Oh yeah, I'm PMSing too .

I think with the daylight savings time we're 4 hours behind you guys in LA, and 5 hours behind ME--it was 5 and 6 hours difference before the time change. I really don't know why we don't observe the difference but we never have as far as I can remember.

Well I gotta run off to the store because all I have in my fridge at work is water and diet pepsi. I need fruit! veggies! something to keep me away from the jar of peanut butter! am i the only one who eats peanut butter from the jar with a spoon?

Noelle your not going to believe this but that is what I have been eating for breakfast when I do not feel like eggs. You can have peanut butter on the diet I am on. So I skip the toast and eat it on a spoon!

Kempy I saw the coolest thing on Martha Stewart, You take some kind of glove, cooking glove maybe? and fill it with red juice like cranberry or something or you could just probally use water or any kind of juice, tie it at the top and then you freeze it and then peel the glove off and put it in a bowl of chilled punch! It looks like a floating hand. Spooky Julie

Wow you guys have been busy today. Noelle, I did have a brownie today. OOPS, it fell in my mouth. Believe it or not when a chcolate donut would break off the stick while I was glazing them I felt the need to eat it but if it was a blueberry donut it went in the trash. haha

My PMS craving is a sweet and then I want something salty every night. I am in such a eating kind of mood. I know I need to stop so maybe when Halloween (and my period) are done then I will be able to do it with no interruptions again. Thanksgiving doesnt usually throw me off because I make that meal all the time and I make it all lowfat anyways. Plus I have to work that day so it isnt like a holiday at our house.

I caved into the peanut butter last night. I toasted an english muffin and put Peanut Butter on it while it was hot. YUM!!

I caved too Angie. I went to Big Lots today to get some candy for the kids for Friday night and when I got back to work I had to sample some of it. You know, to make sure that it is safe for the kids. (whatever I have to tell myself)

I didn't get a chance to workout today but I might see if Joe would go walk with me when I get home. It is getting kind of dark though. He was saying to me today that he really wants to start doing some things together. I am hoping that walking in the afternoon will be one of the things we can do as a family (us and the doggies).

Kempy, I keep meaning to ask you how Rhea and Echo are doing? Do the kitties like her?

Me and Brit took a walk after work tonight so I did get in 4.5 miles BUT...I made no bake cookies tonight. I am so bad. Noelle, wanna kick me in the ***?!! I need some of your motivation.

Angie you are so darn funny! I love how you are asking help from Noelle. Enjoy them, but..... not to much!! I am having a major snack attack tonight!
