Good Morning Ladies!

I feel like I didn't sleep at all. The past week I just can't sleep for anything. I don't know what is up with that. Anyway....coffee IV for me today please.
I am going into work a few minutes late this morning. Kevin does not know how to dress Garrett. I am tired of picking them up from school and seeing what he is wearing. NOTHING MATCHES!!!!! So I have to get the kids up in a few minutes and am going to get clothes out for him. GRRRRRR.

The neighbors and I got together last night to figure out who is making what for our party on Sunday. Little do they know that everything I am making is very point friendly for me! Now if I can just stay away from what everyone else is making. Since it is going to be at my house and next door, I guess I can always run in and make a salad to help fill me up. For beer I will probably go grab some Yuengling Light. Not sure if you get this by you or not, but I like it.

I have to run, but I'll be back for personals when I get to work.

Hello everyone,
was a bit stressful @ work yesterday. The shot went ok and traffic too, but no exercise, but did get my water in. Will call mom later to see how she's doing after the near fainting spell I mentioned last night. Oy, more and more seems like I'm going to have to move down there next year. Sigh.

Allison- i'm finding some problems too w/ the site, for the recipes I finally had to open up in explorer rather than aol.
Soup sounded good. A real good buffet place just closed down near me they had had a lot of good choices, me and ex went there all the time
Terry- hope the salt air does DH good. Caught the eclipse on the TV, was too tired to get up outside to watch unfortunately
Nikki- what's the time line for you moving over to the mainland? I'm sure you'll get yourself together.
Xan- great job w/ the party/bummer about wi, maybe next week, keep up the great work!!
Liz fingers crossed w/ the interview
Barb- ugh about the chicken
Jen- yipes about jess's behavior. hope she gets a place on the team. what the neighbor's dont know won't hurt them. LOL sounds like a great party plan.

take care everyone and have a great OP day
Lizzy

OK I am back.
So I am excited about our neighbor party on Sunday. I also know that I will earn AP's for sure since we are putting the volleyball net up. So between that, bocci and washers we will have a full day of events. I think I also might set up a scavenger hunt for the kids too. Kevin is really the awesome one that makes up games for the kids to play and keep busy. I can have him be in charge of that....knowing him he will make a mini olympics out of it.
Oh another thing one of the neighbors is making.....jello shots! YUMMY!!!!

I was in such a rush to get to work this morning I forgot my WW books. Good thing I still have access to etools. I pretty much know how the points of what I have with me, but still.

Lizzy- That stinks about your mom almost fainting. How have her eating habits been?

Liz- Good luck this morning!!! Had to laugh at Hola on your post.....we were constantly saying that down in Mexico! I want to go back sooooo badly. I love the Ultimate Fat Burning Workout!!! I have Ultimate Calorie Blaster on tap for today.

Cheryl- How did WI go? So glad you made it here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barb- My Sasha is a delicate thing too. She is allergic to EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!

Allison- Are you alternating your points yet?

Xan- Time to get the books out and journal everything. You can do it!

Nik- I would hate that back and forth stuff with the mainland. How is the house coming along?

Terry- Because I said so.....one of my favorite phrases! LOL Who is in that movie?

Oh well....I need to do my blog and get some work done.

Jen- don't get me started about her eating. she has high bp now. So what did I see her have for breakfast and a egg and a couple of sausage patties. Plus everytime I take her to a buffet nothing healthy no veggies. Plus she pouts when I dont order dessert so she can have over 1/2 of it. Oh well. her health.


gotta get to work, catch you all tonight

Lizzy

Morning everyone. Feeling much better finally. Had a breakfast meeting yesterday and made some good choices. This is good because I weigh in this morning after dropping ds off at school. I was going to do it yesterday but the center didn't open until after my meeting started.

Nothing going on for us this weekend...just chilling out. Maybe we'll find a pool to go hang out at for awhile. Calling my realtor today to start the hunt. I have a few I'd like to look at. I think after this summer I've changed my stance on a pool. I didn't want to have one, because of the maintenance and water issues, but I'm not ruling it out now, lol.

Jen-sounds like some good planning going on. Careful with those jello shots baby...they're like gelatinous anesthesia. I swear they just absorb right into your body. Can't believe Jess and the full moon man. That's one of those things I would find hard to keep a straight face while doing my parental discipline duty. I have alot of those in my life. I hope it didn't screw her chances for a team spot.

Allison-careful with the actual wendie plan...the numbers on the plan are from an old WW plan, and I'm not sure whether they will leave you high or low. Just multiply your daily points by 7 and add your 35 WAP and then divide them out with 3 days at normal, one high, one low, one really high, one really low and mix them amongst each other...one caveat though, don't put the "really high" day just before your weigh in...that's a bad thing. Good luck. Stay the course, this is when it gets frustrating, but it's all worth it. Compare it to the alternative, right? That's what my leader used to tell me when I was annoyed at losing .3 while everyone else was losing 4 lbs. Compared to the alternative, it's all good.

Terry-hope your dh feels better soon. It really sucks to be sick for so long. Yes, we're renting now. Things are really bad in the market here in the valley...it's really a buyers market now. When we got here, houses sold in 24 hours...no way we were buying then.

Nik- I love Will Ferrell. Elf has become one of our Christmas classics. Devon quotes it all year long.

Lizzy-I'm sorry about your mom. Hang in there.

Barb-that's cool that you stayed on with them. I know they are "old school" but you could set up an FTP on your home computer, have them upload a .wav file there and then download the report. Really easy. That's what we do with financial reports in my job. Saves on overhead. Good luck with Boswell. There are so many companies that want an experienced MT.

Busy day today, must get all the stuff I haven't gotten done all week done today. Ds has art class this afternoon, so I get an extra hour to work. Gotta get moving and get him up and out the door.

Have a great day!

Good Morning girlies. Our bathroom renovation is turning into somewhat of a disaster like most home improvement projects do!! The bathroom is completely gutted and we special ordered a shower insert only to find out the drain is not in the right place and they don't sale them the way we need it! So back goes the shower and now we are going to have to tile. Plus when they removed the tub last night they put a hole in our freshly painted wall......Oh also, my DH opened up our french doors so they could get the tub out and broke the latch on the door. (not fixable......) There was also some plumbing issues which are racking up the pocketbook... Oh well, what you do ?...... I'll just be glad when the project is over!!!!!!!

TOM arrived this morning so I am hoping that is why the scale is back up a little. I'm not going to worry about it. I need to get dressed my PUMP class starts soon. I'll probably stay after class and get my cardio in somehow.

Jen- Michelob Ultra Light is also good for weight watchers...Sounds like the party will be a blast.

Lizzy- Maybe it is AOL. I've been having other issues with AOL too. It takes forever just to boot up AOL in the morning. I'll try Internet Explorer.

Sue- Happy house hunting! We plan on moving in about a year and I have already started pulling flyers and getting ideas in the neighborhood. There are so many houses for sale right now! We thought about a pool too but are concerned about the extra costs and maintenance too! Good luck! Thanks for the advice on the Wendie plan and changing things up. I haven't tried it yet. May wait until after TOM is gone and new weigh in.........

Hey girls, I am posting early because my kids are studying right now.
We had a good night after WI last night, so I didn't feel so bad. I woke up this morning and was down 5 pounds from my WI last night. My scales are off exactly 2.8 pounds from the center's! That girls is how much water weight I can gain in one freaking day! But, that will mean a good WI next week and I do plan on following the program while in Vegas. I will probably drink every FP though! LOL

Jen: I hear you on matching clothes. I don't dare let Billy dress the kids... and you should see Faith's hair when he get through! LOL Sounds like you have a great party planned!!
Sue: I am so excited for you! I hope you find a great house!!
Lizzy: I bet you are a better influence on your mom food wise than you think. I hope all your stress is going away!
Allison: UGH about the wall and door issues! When it rains it pours! LOL
Hi to all who come after me! Have a great day!

OK....did you girls find this quick reply box? I always forget about it! LOL But at least you can scroll on the current page.

SO I am being a good girl eating my lunch....salad, smart 1 pizza sandwich (NOT worth the 6 pts I might add IMHO) and a sf pudding. I am working on mug #2 right now. I have a feeling TOM is coming here soon too. ugh.

Allison- That sucks about the remodeling drama. I want to start on my living room already, but we need to go pick out furniture first. I do not know the first thing about decorating....honestly I do not. It should be interesting.

Sue- Happy hunting! I guess now that you know the area, now is the time to do it. Hope you find what you want.

Lizzy- Ohhhhh why do parents do that to us with the eating!?! My dad is the same way...you would think since he is diabetic and had to have a toe removed due to it, he would be careful.....nope! UGH

Xan- Oh dont you hate that the guys are friggin color blind!?!? UNREAL! And tell me how a polo shirt matches those satin looking atheletic shorts!?!?!

Oh well......gotta get back to work.

Jen

Hey girlies!!! Sorry it is so late but I was getting so much needed work time in ...so I have the thread open in another window so I can make this work today....forgot to mention yesterday that my weight stayed the same ..nobody's fault but mine...I did get up this morning and exercise with Denise Austin and Fit for Life....I have got to get motivated!!!!

Jen: The movie is Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton...it is a must see but it is a chick flick!!! And yes, I found the quick reply like the 1st day...
Allison: You need to get on the internet and get on one of those remodeling shows
Lizzy: Hope things go well with your mom this weekend.
Xan: Can any man actually do a good job dressing children???
Sue: Happy house hunting..keep us updated!!

Gotta run for now--lunch is here....hello to all my buds!!!!
