Thanks Jen and Joyce,
Brittany is feeling better but it is still rough. She keeps getting nauseous. We will find out tomorrow why. She has a re-check tomorrow. Still pretty sore there poor thing.
Hope your mini vacation was fun Jen. Sounds like fun.
What did you do there? We went there a few yrs. ago and saw the Titanic exibit when it was there. Then we went to see the outside of Graceland. Didn't want to take the kids in. Britts and I might go back to see it. Curiosity I guess.

Dianne,
Congrats on your loss. WOW! That is great! I ate a lot this last week so i will not weigh til I have a chance to get it off. maybe Sat. :lol:
It is amazing how the wrong foods make you feel. I feel horrible today. A couple days of a lot of water and the right foods should have me feeling better. I hope.

Patti,
That icon is so cute. I would have stolen it too.

Bruce gave me a cruise to Nassau, Bahamas with my sister for Mother's Day. We have never gone a trip together by ourselves. This should be a blast. He paid for her too. He had the kids dress up with grass skirts and beach attire to give me the cards. It was hysterical. We are going in Sept. I have to get my butt in gear.

Talk to y'all later.
Terri :wave:

Holy Moly!!!!!!
 

Wow, Terri - can I have your husband????LOL - that sounds wonderful. Okay, if I can't have him, can I at least borrow him, LOL.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes on my granddaughter - she's a cutie!

Gotta run, just popped in to see if Terri would give me her husband, oh, well, seems I'm outta luck, LOL.

:wave: Hi everyone!

Dianne

Just poppin in to let you know I'm still alive. I've been going to the gym right after work so I'm tired:yawn:

Be back tomorrow. Promise.

Essie

Dianne,
You are too much. :lol: You have a good one too. Mine might like a change. :lol:
He is a sweetie! I think I'll keep him. :love:
How many times did you kiss your grandbaby?
I can't get enough of the chubby cheeks. And the smell!!!! Mmmm

Hi Essie!
Luv ya all!
Terri

Tuesday Night

Hello My Buds:D

Zoe, we get so busy sometimes it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day. I get up at 3:45 am & still feel time flying by.

Terri, I love babies!! Everything about them, and yes, their scent, cheeks & legs. Toooooo cute! I hope Brittany will be feeling much better real soon. Poor Baby.
Bruce gave you some gift. Wow!!! I see why Dianne wants to borrow him:lol:

Dianne, your granddaughter sounds chunky. I could bite her. I wish we can all see eachothers pictures. My son's digital camera isn't working. Only Terri knows how. Our computer wiz.

Jen, have you tried you DVD player yet? I recently got one too but I still use my VCR.:rolleyes: Have you seen Meet the Parents? It's so funny. I loved it & Keeping the Faith.

Been going to the gym everyday except for Sunday. My legs are a little sore from the treadmill. I go on for 1 hr., inclined:eek: I challenge my husband:lol: It's fun working out with him. If he only knew MY LEGS ARE KILLING ME!

Have a goodnight everyone:wave:

Hi everyone,

Essie, we used the DVD player (after my son hooked it up, of course!) to watch Patriot, what a great movie, not to mention it's got Mel Gibson. I've got all my exercise stuff on vhs, so I don't foresee getting rid of that system in the near future!

Terri, your gift is so great; you'll have a wonderful time with your sister. We go to Memphis next month, haven't gone yet. :)

Dianne, you're so funny......switching men does sound appealing at certain times, doesn't it? ;) Of course, they probably feel the same about us at times!

This has been a challenging week so far, have been giving in to my sweet tooth. Tomorrow will be OP all the way!

later,
~Jen

Hello my buddies :wave:

Houston - we have a dress! Thank God Almighty, my daughter finally chose a prom dress! I can not tell you how many places we went to for dresses, I was about to put her butt in a canvass sack and let her go in that!

Essie - Jessa is a chunkette - we just saw her last night and she's only 1 1/2 weeks old and weighs 9 lbs. 2 ozs. Her cheeks are definitely biteable, LOL. But her mom won't let me bite her. She smells wonderful and she has the prettiest little lips -- essie, I call her lips "boca chula", LOL. She is really gorgeous, but, hey, I guess I'm a bit prejudiced, LOL. You go girl with all that exercising.

Jen - I loved the Patriot too - except for when his young son gets killed, that bothered me alot. I know its just a movie, but didn't like that part at all. Yesterday was rough for me program-wise too, not so much of a sweettooth, but out running around shopping for the prom dress, etc. and not making such great choices for eating. But back on track today!

Terri - Hope Brittney is doing okay. Any word from the doctor about the nauseousness (sp?). Did that stop?

Hi everyone else, hope you all have a great day.

Dianne

Hi all,
I wish I was a wiz at this computer. :lol:
Great job Essie, on the treadmill. "Weigh to go".
I love my DVD player. We belong to
http://www.netflix.com You pay like $20 a month and get as many movies as you can watch (3 at a time) when you are done watching it you just send it back in the mail. They send you your next choice. It is cool. We watched 12 movies last month. Patriot, Meet the Parents, Remember the Titans etc... Plus some old movies that were put on DVD. I love it. No more worrying about late fees.

Jen,
Mmmm, mel Gibson. I have all the Lethal Weapon movies. Love him. Hope you enjoy Memphis. Sorry, thought you went already. I read too fast. :lol:
Good luck with the sweet tooth. been there.

Dianne,
Congrats on the dress. I'll bet it is beautiful. Wait until you have to pick a wedding gown. :don't hit me:
Tell her to have a great time.

Britts had an ordeal yesterday. She had a bump on one of her stitches site and so the Dr. inserted an amnio needle in her abdomen because it was infected. It was a hematoma . Her eyes and mine were so big when the Dr. said she was going to do that. She had no numbing stuff just the betadyne (spell?). I can't imagine a needle going into an already painful area. :SHUDDER: She expelled some nasty stuff. Won't go into that. My blood pressure went so low. I had to sit down. She was so brave. The Dr. wanted to make sure she got it all out and so she did it 2 more times. Brittany cried on the last one.
Needless to say she got whatever she wanted on the way home. A dessert and some game rentals. She hasn't asked for anything this whole time. I hope she heals better this time. One good thing. It came back from the lab, the tumor definitely is benign. :whew: Thanks for everyone's well wishes.
Hi everyone!!!!
Terri

Terri - I'm so happy to hear that the tumor was benign - Thank God. I feel so bad for her though, having to go through that procedure once even. A grown-up would cry (I know I would) going through that. She is a very brave young lady. Give her whatever she wants - lol - I'll pay for it!

Oh, and stand in line to get hit about the wedding dress remark -- you don't know how many people said the same thing to me. The only thing good about that would be at least we would only have one color to choose from - white, LOL.

Well, gotta run. Have a great one guys.

Hugs,
Dianne

Thanks Dianne. She was so brave and I'll send you the bill. :lol:
What color is her dress? I am almost looking forward to when Brittany has to look for one. Only a couple of years. :eek: Hope we are still on this list and much thinner, I might add, when you are looking for that wedding gown. When is graduation? I have 1 nephew, one cousin and my sister's niece graduating this spring.
::Getting out the wallet::
Good luck with everything proud mommy.

:wave:
Terri

Terri,
Brittany went through quite a lot....I hate to think of how painful that must have been for her. And how's Mom doing? It's even worse for you, in a way, to see her going thru that. My very best to her. :angel:

Dianne,
Ahhhh, prom. This is such a fun time for Alana. I won't mention the white dress, LOL. When is her prom? The majority of the schools here have them the first weekend of May, so they're over already. Do they have an after-prom activity planned? It's so cool how they party afterwards now; when I went, we went home after the prom, and went on a picnic the day after. When my son went, they took an overnight cruise on Lake Michigan on the Spirit of Chicago dinner boat....very neat!

Essie,
I didn't mention your exercise......I laughed out loud when you said you wouldn't admit to your husband about your legs hurting. :D Great job!

Well, ladies, I've been struggling again, what else is new! :( I'm so tired of losing my motivation. Will not whine about this, it's up to me. Today was a good day, I'm going to finish up the day under points. And I cleaned the house and did yardwork, so got lots ofexercise in that way. I haven't gotten on the scale in a couple of weeks, will do so before the week is over.

Like the Little Engine That Could says at the end of the book, "I know I can!, I know I can!"......that's gonna be my mantra.

Have a great evening,
~Jen

OUCH!!!!!!!
 

.......:wave:...........oooooohhhh, Essie, my legs are killing me too. I had a GREAT workout last night and tonight....OUCH!!! Great job on going everyday. I only go 2 weeknights after work (Mon and Wed usually) and I "try" to go Saturday mornings when I'm not too lazy. :rolleyes: Keep up the good work!

Dianne ~ I'm so glad that the prom dress shopping is done. Believe me, I don't miss those days. I'm glad you made it through.

Terri ~ Brittany is such a brave girl ~ to go through all she has and then, more. Give her a big hug for me, K? {{{{{{{Brittany}}}}}}}

Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all having a great evening. TGIF tomorrow!! :D

Hi:wave:

Terri, those prayers worked :) Thank God the tumor was benign. I really feel for her, going thru more pain. My nephew told me about netflix.com I have to check it out.

Jen, I see you have a sweet tooth problem just like me. That's definitely my weakness. Losing your motivation? Okay that's it. I'm coming out to Illinois to give you a Boot Camp workout:lol: Hang in there buddy. You can't give up. WE won't let you. We know you can, we know you can!

Zoe, the gym is always packed. I don't even attempt to go by the weights. All the buffed beautiful people are on that side.:rolleyes: But I'm hangin tough. Good for you on going 2X a week. Beats doing nothing at all ;)

Dianne, kiss "boca chula" for me. She sounds so cute. About the prom dress, :lol: I'm happy she found one, for your sake! LOL

I've been doing good. Pretty much OP. I'm using my Winning Points so I feel satisfied.

Well, have a goodnight everybody

Essie:wave: {{{hugs}}}

Thanks guys. You are all great! Thanks for your prayers and I will give her that hug Patti. Thank you. I feel things are getting back to normal. ::Knocking on wood::
Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday.
Off to watch ER in awhile. Just got done watching Friends.
Love these Finales.
Terri :wave:
