hello everyone
had an night of hell w/ the coughing fits. Finally bit the bullet and had another dose of antibiotics and the sudafed. Got to sleep for a little while. But the voice is so bad from all the coughing plus the ears still hurt I called in again. Just have 1 more earned sick day left. My pill taking sched is now off. Hopefully I can get it back on track today. Going back to bed to try to sleep some more. Hopefully I won't be this whiney later. Water has been great. Exercise forget it. Just need to get healthy then worry about it I guess.

take care everyone
Lizzy

Morning ladies!

Well, it's the new me....got the hair CHOPPED last night...not as short as Sue's (or pink ) but it's up to my chin. Poor Jim (why is it that men like long hair????) he came home and said, "hmmmm, went short huh?". Now, keep in mind I have loved this poophead for over 20 years now and he has some very endearing qualities, but my emotional button is in high swing with all the major life changes right now. So I said, do you like it? His response, "kinda cute". Is there a class you can send men to to learn what a woman wants to hear????? Ugh....

Ok, now I'm running late, so I have to finish this later from work. Big hugs my friends...

Lizzy - feel better sweetie. I heard from Lori Bluff and from Gina (Yogi) yesterday...will update you guys later.

Love
lori T (Hey, I don't need to use the T now do I?)

Good Morning Ladies!
Had a soso night last night. I really want to go see Kevin on Saturday night but it now looks like I will at least have Garrett....I got the call from billhole last night saying "oh I have to work I cant take him this weekend" Oh well.....it's not like I won't see him for weeks....he is due back probably on Monday.
I have my ortho appt at 11:30 so we will see what he says about my knee. I think it is a sprain but considering it is still going out on me, we will see.

Lori- I had the same thing happen last week when I changed the color once again. I had blonde highlights for summer and this time went a reddish/purple color. Kevin "seemed" to like it...."it's different". LOL There should be a class for them to go to!!! Lets create that! Give me the update on Lori & Gina!

Lizzy- I hope you get lots of rest today and feel better!!!!!!!!

Hello again everyone,just couldn't go back to sleep, so lots of on demand movies that I want to see. mostly those 70's disaster flicks. Saw the first airport on Mon. Watching the 2nd now ( wish they had airplane on there as well. They have Earthquake and a whole slew of the old Godzilla pix. Now if i can snooze a little I'll be fine. A least no coughing. Going to start sipping my throat coat tea as well. Been drinkng a lot of water already today.
Will have to call mom later today, she's begging me not to come down this weekend. We'll see. If I'm on the mend finally wouldn't mind a little break, heard it might rain for part of the weekend. So we'll see. Alrighty let me hit the bed and watch my movies.

Lori- ugh about men. I hear you about that. Hope you like the cut.
Jen- hope you're on the mend soon.

take care everyone,
will check back later. please send sleepy and healthy vibes today.

Lizzy

Lizzy- Sorry to hear your still sick! I think my son has what you have..his voice is all scratchy, he's sniffly, and coughing like crazy.

Lori- I'm sure your hair looks great!! I wish I could pull off having short hair! Pictures?

Jen- I hope you get good news about your knee.

Not much going on today. Son is sick so we'll probably be home all day. I gave him some med's so if he does feel better soon I'll probaly still run to the gym. The Counselor from the school is calling today to do a "walk through" online with me.

Have a good day buddies!

Oh....the men we love and OUR hair....it should be a soap opera! Mike hates short hair and he's constantly bitching about changing the color...I can have 6 inches of black roots and he sees no problem with it...with him I think it's the money though..lol...I got my hair cut short last May...it looked so cute, sassy etc...a guy friend of mine says "Oh you look like a mom now" I said for 36 years old then I'm one sexy mom!!!! jackass...

Did great with food...until....Mike and I got in a fight, can't even remember the reason really but it was the usual...pointing out of nikki's faults...blah...blah...so I ate a couple bowls of cereal....dammit....yesterday was a new week though, so I'm counting it as WPA's and moving on...I also know that the only person I punished was me.

Part of the prob. with Mike right now is my dog...he's gone down hill so quickly in the last few months, the vets think he has lymphoma, biopsy came back inconclusive, he's a 12 year old dalmation...it has been so hard to see him decline...he has been urinating on the carpet periodically, it's only happened 2 or 3 times, he's on prednisone and it makes him drink and pee alot, but mike is NOT an animal lover and wants me to put him down....but he's still eating, alert, interacting with the family....doesn't seem to be in any pain....LORI...any advice?????? If I put him down before I'm ready just to please Mike we might as well sign the divorce papers, bcuz I'll resent him forever. HELP!......

Ok, sorry, just such a tough thing right now....

Wow, I can't believe you guys just made me appreciate my dh (hard to do right now, lol). He's all about haircolor and changes. In fact, he'll point out when my color is in need of a *ahem* "pick me up".

Been very productive this morning, got a lot done. Will make it easier for me to get to the gym. My house is an absolute disaster area and needs to be cleaned badly.

So, now that I've finally booked my tickets to go home for fall break, I tried on my jeans last night (which haven't touched my body since March) and man, do I have to step it up for the next 3 weeks. I was joking about losing 30 lbs in 3 weeks, but I'm going to have to take some off if I want to wear anything I own in the cooler weather. Quite a wake up call.

Ok, gotta run and get the kid up. We're car pooling again as Dh's scooter is leaking oil. I can't wait to get a new car so this doesn't have to happen anymore. We're waiting for the weather to cool down so dh's friend can work on the volvo for us. It's just waiting on his property until the sun is not shining quite so hot anymore.

I'll be back later.

Good morning guys. I found Lara. She is now on buddyslim, so add her as a buddy!! Hopefully she will be checking in soon.

As for me, slow morning today. The back is really sore. I am trying to decide if I am going to workout. I am thinking a day of rest would be good for the back, but as far as weight loss... thinking I need to get up and move. Less calories in + more calories burned = more pounds lost! I seem to have trouble with the less calories in so I need to get all the more calories burned I can get.

Tomorrow the kids and I are headed down to some caves for a field trip. Should be fun, except that I detest bats! Saturday we have soccer and a picnic and the UT v. FL game is on. Sunday morning the kids and I leave for a week in TN. So, I maybe MIA for a few days, but will be thinking about you guys and wil checking asap!!

Lizzy~ I am sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well. Hopefully the meds will kick in soon!! Enjoy your flicks. I love Airport.

Jen~ Let us know what the doc says as soon as you get back. Sorry you won't be able to see Kevin this weekend. At least he will be home soon. Where does he go next?

Lori~ I want to see some pics of the new do!! DH and I have a running joke about how he never notices my cuts. Maybe it is just he doesn't like them and doesn't want to hurt my feelings. I am thinking there is some $$$ to be made... there are lots of women out there that would spend big bucks to have there men learn what to say on lots of issues - not just hair!

Nik~ At least it was cereal and not ice cream or something horrible for you!!

Sue~ You know on the BL they are losing 20 lbs a WEEK - don't kow how but I am thinking you will look fab in your jeans.. just make healthy choies and keep working out. You will get there.

Allison~ Sorry to hear about DS. Hope he is on the mend soon. Good luck with the school call.


The bottomless pit (DS) is screaming "more brefest".

Morning girlies!!! Tons of work to do today and trying to make it to DD's first pep rally of the season...I absolutely LOVE their pep rallies...we never had anything close to what they have when I was in high school much less middle school...they have the h/s band and everything...it gets really wild and exciting!!! Last year, I was so wanting to jump up and start dancing..LOL!!!! Then @ 5:30, we have her 2nd game of the season. I have to say that I do miss the h/s football games but have not had any great need to go to actually attend one yet however DS has been following the team almost every week which totally shocks me..I guess the middle school games will suffice me for now.

Poor, poor Lizzy...sending you major hugs and get well wishes!!!
Lori: I made my hair appnt yesterday for next week...I get me new (biofocals--sshhhh!!!) Sat.
Nik: I had a bad day yesterday with DH as well..I ate a frozen pizza!!! Same story as yours..what I had done wrong or hadn't done yet...URGGGGG!!!!
Allison: Hope DS feels better and good luck with school. DD is taking a h/s credit class that involves a virtual classroom--she has to play catch up right now after school with the class work part and we have to have DSL to do that..we do not have DSL...so she will be perched on the extra computer up here this afternoon for a couple of hours.
Jen: Good luck @ doc. Let us know.
Sue: Glad you got your tickets booked...
Em: So you coming back down south for a week...you better brush back up on your accent..LOL!!!

Where is Liz??? Cheryl has been having internet issues...and Xan is MIA too!!

Hey Anna & Angela!!!!

Oh I tried to w/i this morning however DS had taken my good scales and moved them and when I weighed I was up 10 lbs...not sure what was going on there but I am certainly NOT using that as a w/i until I get or DD to get on those scales and see if they are right..if they are..HOLY COW!!! you will here me screaming clean to Pennsylvania!!!!
