Morning All,

First of all Jnini, Welcome to our happy little thread!! Anyhoo, I have so many things to do, but again I am wasting my time.... bad me bad me! Things are going well, I have an awkward first date tonight (not that it will be awkward, you just never know with these things, hopefully it will go well!!, but the pattern is holding true, everytime I have a first date my apartment runs out of hot water!). I also am finishing an assignment right now, which of course is always exciting At least I should be done and have it printed by the afternoon.

Kay: definately good luck with the job search, but even if you did get a kick@ss job, consider becoming a receptionist anyway. I am tempted to get trained this summer. I'll definately get my leader training once I am out of school.

Lisa: yeah I am not going to the gym today, but I'll at least be taking various walks of at least an hour. I'll do an aerobics class tomorrow I think.

Stacey: I hope your pup is allright!

Jess: congrats about your boyfriend situation! Hmmm, how about high fiber bread and half a tablespoon of peanut butter. I use laughing cow cheese a lot as well to keep my going through the day. Low call pudding also contains a lot of protien as well as yogurt. Soy cereals have quite a lot as well. Just a few suggestions!

JenK: I just don't see the point of moping for weeks and months about my ex-boyfriend. We were only together for four months anyway and the last month the relationship was practically dead anyway. Yes, I miss him and he was a great guy, BUT he just wasn't the right one for me.

Jen: Good for you about the Chocolate!

Kierie: Glad you made it back to Ireland safely!

Lolly: The divorcemate software is basically for law-firms. There are standardized forms in Ontario so we just follow those, plug in the information and the application for divorce is done.

Rina: Well, my abs and my hip bones are reappearing so yah me

Mike and I have to get the landlord in, our avacado oven blew out one of its main elements... I can't bake... We need a new fridge and oven...

Take Care!

Ali

Good morning!

Ali - I have an avocado oven too!! And the best thing is that my fridge is white, but when you open the door, you can tell that it used to be avocado and they just painted it white!! Ahhh - you gotta love apartment living! I am actually trying to sublet my place right now so I can move into a bigger place. Some friends of mine own a 3 flat and they live on the top 2 floors. Their tenant on the first floor is moving out and they want me to live there. It is a 2 bedroom place, with a huge kitchen, which would be so much more room than what I have now. I am pretty excited! Good luck on your date tonight! I hate first dates, but I have to admit I have gotten better at them since I have so many!

Lolly - When you said that I have a 1 in a 100 chance of getting into law school, it doesn't sound as bad! I scored really well on the LSAT so the way I look at it, I've done the best I can and it is out of my control now.

Rina - Good to hear from you! I hope you find a solution for your sleeping problem. I was suffering from the same thing about 8 months ago and was absolutely miserable. It caused me to cry all of the time too because I was so tired and short-tempered. It was a really rough time so I feel your pain. It ended up being stress related, and when I changed jobs and took time to relax, it basically went away. I tried sleeping pills first though, and HATED them!

Jen - Glad you're back! Yeah, the Pack got theis butts kicked huh? Don't feel bad - no one is beating the Rams this year. Had the Bears managed to win this past Saturday, they would be losing to the Rams this week!

Welcome to Jnini!

Hello all. Talk about being sleep deprived! I have never thought that sleeping in 2 hour incraments would be so hard!

JenK: I am sure with your great lsat score you will get in fine! Did you apply any place else? The new appt sounds great. I was just thinking that Patrick should look for a job in Chicago so that I can live in Lincoln Park and be one of those cool moms who goes to the market etc. Oh well, he would make me live in the sub...Glen Ellyn here I come. But he does not even want to leave Peoria so I have some convincing to do.

Ali: goo dluck on the date.

I am trying to get some more baby pics posted. Will try to get them up this week.

Trish

Ugh! I'm here but have a stack of work staring at me.
Bailey is fine. The vet couldn't get her incision to stop bleeding so they kept her over the weekend. I missed her soooo much!!
She was getting ready to go into heat when they did the surgery so the capillaries, etc., were primed and ready and did not want to stop bleeding.
I'd love to stay and chat but boss is flying around back and forth so I'd better get going...
Bye and hi to everyone!!!!!

Trish - Forgot to tell you that little Alex is so adorable! I'm sorry to hear about the sleep deprivation though. I wonder if it will get any easier? (i.e. will you get used to less sleep?) I applied to Kent, Loyola, Northwestern and U of I, although I can really only go to Kent or Loyola since I need to go part time. Move to Lincoln Park!!! We could be neighbors! I love LP and can't imagine living in the burbs again now that I live there. It is such a great neighborhood!

Stacey - Glad to hear that Bailey is okay!

Hi all!!

Thank you so much for all you welcomes!!! I guess I should tell you a little about myself. Im 28, live in Northern Calfornia, single. Im a data manager at a pharmaceutical company (about as exciting as it sounds). I just interviewed with a company in new york city and Im waiting to hear from them. I really want this job!! My baby is my horse, Starbuck. Love him to death!!

Had my first weigh in last night (I didnt even start ww until saturday) and I lost 3.5 pounds!! I was sooo excited!! SO I just need to stay OP now.......

StacyT - glad your puppy is ok!! What kind of surgery did she have?

TrishO - DId I read correctly that you just had a baby?? Congrats!!

Ali - Good luck on your date!! How exciting!! Im single too, so I know how it goes.......

SweaterGirl - You too have a date!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! This is one happening group of chicks!!! Maybe all the good date vibes will rub off on me too!! I've been on two real dates in the last 3 years....not so good of a record!!

Anyway, gotta run!! Good luck to everyone today!!

Way to go HorseyGirl!!! YAHHH!!!!!

Will post more later! Busy with work, kids and puppy......

Hi everyone!! I'm skipping WI tonight. I know I should go, but I just don't wanna!! We ARE taking the dog for a walk tonight, then I'm going to Kohl's. They are continuing their 70% off sale and I have a gift card that is screaming my name!!!
Tonya: How are things with the puppy?
Congrats to all our losers and 'new' posters!! Come out and play!
I have to get back to work now, but if I don't get back before this evening, then have a great one!!

Stacey, my hubby got a pair of Levis at Kohls for $15. He said he looked at the Womens but they didn't have any left. I was bummed. He went shopping with Emma and squeezed the cart and himself in a changing room so he could try them on. I think that is funny.... Scarey thing... a lady asked if he wanted her to watch Emma while he tried the jeans on. The day before Christmas a Milwaukee woman had her baby kidnapped in Chicago, since that is soooo close it freaked me out. I made it very clear to him that no will ever watch Emma if we don't know them!!!!

Jen: I think your hubby did the right thing!! I agree with you!
Argh! Is it time to go home yet?
