Hello everyone,
it'll either be very slow or very busy this week @ the main job, we'll see, most of my cube neighbors are on vacation this week, ugh a lonely prospect this week. I think I have my extra duties this week too, hopefully i can get along w/out my coworkers to figure out what they want to do.
Need to call the vet too to see what they want to do about Athena.She is eating some wet, but still not eating dry. Could have done better w/ water yesterday, just had to force myself to get it in.
Not looking forward to T'day, looks like I might be alone, a coworker did offer but she has very small children so really didn't want to interfere w/ a family day. Ex didn't mention about getting together. I wouldn't be much company anway, I have to get to work by 5:30am on that Friday, so need to go sleep wicked early

Jen- hope you had an awesome weekend
Allison- gl w/ the new classes. wasn't sure if they gave you a bit of a break.
looked up the career place I want to take the course from,of course it went up!! Waiting to see what the neuro says about mom before I start to see if they see any dementia or not.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

UUUUGGGGHHHHH...I am draggin so bad this morning...stayed up too late last night....the quiet of the house was just too tempting. Taking Cooper to speech today, and getting some groceries, that's about it for me..Mike just went out deer hunting, hope he gets something, my freezer is really empty! Be back later.

Nik

Lizzy- I do get a Winter Break from 12-24 through 1-6. Woo hoo! Knowing me I'll use that time to get ahead though. We'll see...

Nik- I am the same way when the house is quiet! I actually popped two of my Tylenol with Vicodin from my root canal and slept like a baby. I needed it!

Well girls, I failed to get on the scale this morning. Those numbers can either make or ruin my day but since I am starting a new school week I decided to put it off.....Total scale phobia... I have to have a good eating week regardless because we have a Quincenara on Saturday and I have to be able to fit in my little black cocktail dress.....

Hey girls, I have been sort of MIA recently because I have been so busy. I have been checking in to see what y'all are up to though. My weight has managed to stay in check and I have lost a total of 12 pounds on this new plan... if you can call it that. I know that Tday will be a big day for me. I don't ever overdo sweets, but I LOVE turkey and dressing! LOL I am making the SF/FF banana pudding recipe that Joanne posted at BCB a few years back. It turns out to be only 3 points for the 1/2 cup and that's alot of banana pudding! I am also in charge of a relish/vegetable tray... what I'll do to get out of temptation! We have school only today and tomorrow, PTL and then 5 glorious days off! Have a great day girls!
Lizzy: Hope the vet has good news about Athena! I hope you are enjoying being so busy of late! BTW, as cute and athletic as Tomboy is I sure am tired of the Pats beating up on everybody! LOL j/k!
Nikki: Hope you get more energy as the day goes on! My db got lost yesterday deer hunting! He says he was never lost, his wife and others couldn't find him! LOL Anyway, have fun taking Cooper to speech. Are you seeing lots of progress?
Allison: I miss those long Christmas breaks! We get 2 weeks, but nothing compares to that college month! LOL Have a great time at the quincenera this weekend! We have tons of those here too! A true staple of the southwest! LOL
Hello to all my other friends! Oh yeah, did anyone happen to read the article in Parade magazine yesterday about online friendships? It was soooo cool and so like us!

Hi there!
Just a pop in for me right now. I'm going to see how many reports I can get done today! I don't feel like working for the rest of the week! He.he..
I still need to get my market list going to Tday! Yipes! I'm behind!

Ok have a great Monday friends!

hey chicks...i've been so busy still-but keeping an i on everyone. sometimes i don't feel like posting because i seem to have the same bitches and woes.
i've been doing ok-still seem to have my monday thru friday healthy lifestyle-and a weekend full of struggles. ***sigh*** if anything i maintain-and i guess that's better than ballooning!
i really need that shove to get back on the exercise bandwagon-i swear i have no desire. none. even when i'm drying my hair and i see how my once tones arms look so flabby i just shrug my shoulders and think "eh whatever"
anyways...i just took the time to pack a lunch-i'm on this quest to minimize my carb intake. i think that is what makes for my sluggish progress.
well i'm off to the shower-and off to work.
have a great monday girls.
thinking of you all!!

xan: i read that article too, i showed it to my fam mostly so they didn't think i was the lunatic i wonder if they perceive me as. do you know how hard it was saying i was going to las vegas to meet a friend i met online? i had stomach aches trying to break that one to the hubby. now all is well-but still. i do think it's cool though-angela and i always talk about how we love our cyber friends way more than our real life friends. too bad we all can't move to our own compound. hahhaa

barbie: get typing sister. i've been missing ya mucho!

allison: i am avoiding the scale too-it messes with my brain way too much-my clothes are my way of knowing where i'm at.


lizzy: i was thinking the same thing about work this week-and i hope it's quiet for crying out loud!!

nik, liz, jen, cheryl, renee,gina, erin and everyone else...xoxo!!

ok two reports down! My fingers seem to moving in slow motion today! I've been so accident prone this past week. I'm afraid of typing too fast! I cut my right thumb pretty bad with what I have no idea and then on Saturday my other thumb nail bent backwards and broke way down low then did I tell you when I went biking with my mom last week I gouged my leg with the bike petal? I've got bandaids all over! Steve says I look like a mummy!
LOL!

Ok off to keep working!

Hey Anna Banana! I miss you too! My california gal!

Hey girlie girls...today was my w/i and I stayed the same...baa hum bug..good news is though I am fitting into clothes I have not been into in some time...wore jeans this weekend that I could not even wear last fall or winter..WOO HOO!!!! Did some grocery shopping yesterday and DH was on a health kick so we have enough veggies to feed the world...had collards and rutabagors (sp?) last night for supper..YUM!!! I did eat out breakfast Sat & Sun mornings and did great...Sat was a lite waffle and yesterday was pancakes...no sides, etc.
T-Day--YIKES!! HUGE RED FLAGS GOING OFF ALL AROUND ME!!!!

Xan, I am with ya on the turkey and dressing...don't give me anything but that but make it a triple helping..it is a definite weakness for me.
Lizzy...hope Macy's goes better than over the weekend...sending prayers for Aethena..
Liz...you asked what I was fixing for Turkey Day--got my orders from my mom yesterday--mac & cheese...the good ole southern way with tons and tons of red rind cheese...gotta steer clear of that one!!! Also sweet potatoes--good thing I don't like them--I do them with brown sugar and butter (not a whole stick like Paula Deen..LOL), cinnamom, nutmeg, and lots and lots of marshmallows melted on top. It is one of the first dishes to go!!!
Nik...need to get my guys in gear too...we are out of everything but cubed steak...DS has become a jerky king and wants to do almost the entire deer he kills in jerky and that is not setting well with mama!
Allison..we found the right fit college wise Sat...got accepted too!!
Anna...umm, can we say I haven't yet broke my internet friendships to DH...kids know and think I am NUTS!..I even met Charity in the spring one day when she was down my way and still did not tell!!!! I talk about things yall say, etc but I just say "a friend of mine"...
Barb..Miss Accident herself..I tripped over my own 2 feet yesterday and fell on a root...I have a bruise on one knee cap, a bruise on my thigh on the other and the hand I used to land one is killing me..the family laughed at me so I wasn't about to fess up that I was actually hurt!

Okay..gotta scoot girlies!!!

Ok just finished up the 5th report, I think I might be done for the week! lol! I feel that I should be doing something else! I'm going to check to see if there are any short tapes and do just one more!

Terry, all I can say is OUCH!! Hey I watched Paula doing some thanksgiving recipes this weekend. Uck to the turkey / duck/ chicken thing! what is up with that? LOL! I do want to make her apple pie though!!

Ok be back

You know I don't know why but my dh is totally accepting of having internet buddies... well women anyway. He might not be that way if he thought I was going to meet one of them. However there was one time when at the Ft. Worth zoo I said something like I should call Angela and all he said was "did you bring her number?" But of course I didn't. Maybe it's because he knows that Cheryl knows the same people or something. Now my mom is a little leery of the whole thing. But, my db met a "psycho" g/f on the web so that is her only experience! LOL She still asks about y'all though! LOL
