Won't officially start my added responsibilities until tomorrow. Oh man, read yesterdays post about mom's flight. Thank goodness that's been taken care of. Thank goodness I looked!! Flight won't be until the end of the month.
Allergies seem to be winding down @ the moment. Knock on wood.
Have the rest of mom's stew ( need to drain the fat each time I heat it up.
Have 1 more helping left then I switch to the cola chix I made for the rest of the week

Mike the more the merrier

Good morning ladies.
I woke up an hour late this morning.....I could not fall asleep last night for anything. I am sure it did not help that I was busy watching a "Family Jewels" marathon of some sort.

So it is yet another busy day for me......work, Dr's appt at 10:45 for the MRI results, back to work, Jess has a softball game tonight, leave for a bit during her softball game to go to TOPS...which better be a bit better of a meeting....then back to the field.
I do not forsee my getting any painting done tonight, which is good because I have to work on this baby blanket. I am halfway done.

Us neighbors all had dinner together during the steeler game and I did very good with the food. I stuck to smashed potatoes that I made and loin of pork. Stayed away from the chips and dips, the cake, only had 2 light beers......so I am proud of myself.

Lizzy- I hate when the airlines change things and do not tell you! That happens to Kevin depending on what airline he is flying.

Ohhhhhh I got nervous for a second when I saw MIKE on yesterdays post thinking it was Nik's hubby! ROTFLMAO.

I am also getting emails regarding my old job asking questions on certain customers and how they do things, they STILL do not have a person in my old position there.....or at least they can not keep someone in there because of how hard the work is.

Alrighty....gotta get some work done.

Oh Jen....I THOUGHT THE SAME DAMN THING!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!! That is toooo funny, great minds think alike huh?

Mike...welcome, as long as you are not my husband...heeheee

Lizzy....Exercise? What's that? lol....

Ok, so I just got off the phone with the vet....he is very encouraged by Maverick's progress thus far...they took him off the pred. and started the new meds and his mobility seems to be better, they are starting him on his new diet today....and the diarrhea has stopped. Makes me happy.....until I get the bill, of course....YIKES.

Food is still awesome!!!!! loving the structure of the NS...haven't had anything too terrible yet...I really needed this strictness to feel like I am in control again.... I mean I'm still shaky, but hopefully as the weight comes off I will feel powerful again.

Alex is home with a sore throat today, Regan went off the island for a field trip, they are going to a pumpkin patch and then bowling....how fun!

I'm off the island tomorrow, Regan and Cooper have dentist appt., we are still doing surgery in small doses to fix Regan's umpteen cavities...hopefully this is the last one, that kid has more crowns in her mouth! Cooper is just going in for an intro.

Ok, I'm off to p/u the house...

Good Morning Lizzy and Jen-

My Mom is still here, she is heading back to Houston this morning. Hopefully in time for me to go to the gym. I need it!!!!! I didn't work out Saturday or Sunday after being on a 30 something day straight work out spree! Plus we went out to eat several times so I am feeling very off track! I am not weighing in this morning needless to say...........

I still need to read some old post's to see what's going on with everybody! I hope all is well girlies!

Nikki- I am so happy to hear Maverick is doing better!!!!!

Good morning buddies not much here. Just drinking my coffee workout will be a bit later ive been cleaning on my house My new ww class opens this week too! BTW mike is my friend that has been doing ww for sometime.

Nik he buddy hows ur dog
Lizzy glad things are going better with your mom
Jen how are things going with the painting>? have u heard from DH.
allison have a good day

OK....so I am glad that even you Nikki thought it was your hubby! Could you imagine the hubbies logging on here to see what we are saying!?!? ROTFLMAO!

Nikki- Glad you are doing so well with NS and I am happy to hear about Mav.

Allison- You needed a nice little break from the workouts....it is healthy for you. Hope you have a great day.

Gina- Good luck with your meeting! I only have 2 walls left in the living room to do. I have to go get blinds yet and then I am on the hunt for an entertainment center...which I will probably just go to the thrift stores to look for something I like and then sand it and paint it for my liking. I also have to rip up the rug in the living room so I can then start moving stuff back in there and get the dining room stuff out of there so I can start there. FUN.

Add me to the list that thought we were about to hear from Nik's hubby! That is too funny!
Welcome Mike!
Had a good day yesterday, but I spent wayyyyy to much money over the weekend. I'll have to work that out during the rest of the month! LOL It was Cheryl's fault for finding so many cute clothes for Faith! LOL
Brett has a football game tonight so we won't be home until late. I know we will eat out but I have planned for it. I have had Honey Nut cheerios this morning and will have taco soup at lunch. My only snack is a 100 cal pack and a SF, FF pudding. Shouldn't be too bad of a day.

Jen: Sounds like you did a great job at the get-together! I am now going to feel your pain since Brett starts football. I wish we didn't have to travel to another town so I could actually cook a meal on those nights. Is your room coming together like you want it to? Have fun at TOPS
Nik: That's great news about Maverick!! I am glad the NS structure is working for you! I want to go with Regan! Hope Alex feels better soon!
Lizzy: Good thing you looked at that flight! Good job on your walk and your yard work!!
Gina: Good luck with your new meeting!
Allison: Hope your gym withdrawls get a fix! LOL Have a great day!

Have a great day girls! I have to go teach!

Hey girls, just a fly by for me.... gotta be busy busy at work ya know? Or else my boss tells me that I suck! ha! Screw him.

Not much to report here, been doing really good with food, but trying to keep quiet about it, or else I feel like I jinx myself.

I'd die if my mike was on here! How could we ever talk about them if they were here? sheesh!

Okay, off to slave away....
