Hello everyone,
dreading to go back to work today. Still not caught up on sleep yet. Hit the snooze twice. It's either going to be real slow or very busy.

Hope everyone's holiday was stressfree

take care everyone

Morning Lizzy!!!!

Had a really great xmas...i really made great choices on what i got my kids, they seemed to enjoy everything and i think it was money well spent....my dad and stepmonster have behaved themselves, i've hardly been verbally abused at all, lol...we had a blast with the Wii they got the kids, in fact it was on all day, finally put tv on at 10:30 last night.

Mike and the kids got me a Pandora charm bracelet and 2 charms...LOVE IT!
Mike also got me a digital pic frame, but my camera's card won't fit in it, but that's ok, we were gonna get one for mike's dad and stepmom, so we will just use that one...i told him the bracelet was plenty, he spent enough on that.

Parents are leaving today, hopefully this morning...heeheeehee....sorry. Need to get this house back in order again...yikes.

hope you all had a great holiday!
xoxoxoxox

Good Morning!
I am soooo glad all the running and everything is over.
So this morning I have a wine headache and my arms are sore from the wii. Hey Nik did you know that if you hookit up to the internet you can play certain games against people online? LOL We need to find one of them so wii can play!
I only received one double gift...my MIL and my mom both got us new deep fryers. Thats alright though.
What did I get.....3 necklaces from the kids (Garrett and Blair duped), a nice diamond pendant and earrings from Kevin, slippers, wii fishing game, the dishwasher(which that was enough)....oh 2 pairs of levi's from the hubby and thank god he looked at the size of the pair of jeans I bought a few weeks ago...socks, the new WW complete cookbook, and $$ from my mom to join WW, oh and stadium chairs! Woohoo no more sitting on the bleachers during football and certain baseball games.
The kids seemed to get everything they wanted...although Jess was upset she didn't get an Ipod. She got an MP3 last year...that is just fine.
I think the best reaction to any of the gifts was actually my mom.....I got her dancing with the stars for her wii and she loooooved it. She was funnier to watch than any of the kids.
So on tap today is some work....I brought some home with me and figure I will get some of it done.

Oh well.....I will be back later.

Good morning girlies. We had a great Christmas here too. I am glad to hear that yours was wonderful as well Nikki and Jen! Lizzy, I hope you have a very slow day so you can continue your rest!
I got a diamond eternity band from dh!!! He took the hint, thank God! LOL I also got a new bible that I wanted, new dishes that I wanted, a $100 gift card from my stepson Justin to a clothing store, a $100 Wallyworld gift card from my parents, and a beautiful diamond and amethyst ring from kids (my Mom, LOL). I was very blessed! Brett got his Wii and it was on here all day. I bowled alot yesterday and now my freaking leg is sorer than crap! LOL I like this Wii thing. We have to get another numchuck today so we can box tonight. Can't wait. LOL My kids were thrilled with their gifts, and Faith recited to me and Brett exactly why we celebrate Christmas anyway so I was very happy with the day. We ate at my house so I was even able to control the food that I ate. TOM started today so I didn't dare weigh in for my weekly. I'll wait until Friday when the bloating goes away (TMI?! LOL)
I hope you all have a great day!! I am going to go watch Montel. It's a Sylvia day and even though it's a rerun I just love her.

Morning ladies!
Glad to hear everyone had a nice x-mas! I took a vacation day today to give Carlos an extra day with his toys. He was excited with the Xbox 360, he should be!! Got nice things from Gregg..2 nice perfumes, he said there's one in the mail (I believe is my Turbo Jam)!! I got Celine Dion's Las Vegas concert in dvd and jewelry..I am very lucky!
I don't know about anyone else but excercise has been NONE and eating was not great, I feel the pds. creeping on...I'm not even attending Thurs.'s meeting, gonna try to get on the ball this whole week!
Glad to see some are home relaxing today!! Take care!

I can not wait for Jess to come home from her dad's. I already can see her and the boy across the street playing with the HSM. It should be funny.

It seems we are about the only country that it is not released in yet. I can't wait for this!!!!!

Hey guys! Making a post Christmas check in. Despite the circumstances, it wasn' ttoo bad. I got a little sad for the kids, having to be jossled between mike's house and my house, but I think they survived. Mike on the other hand acts as if he's been burned alive. He's so sad, and it's making me a little sad for him, but I've got to remember all of the crap that he's put me through....(got several new confessions for christmas too, woo hoo!)
Dalton got a Wii also, I haven't had a chance to get on that thing, but it sounds like I really need to!! Dalton got several gift cards to buy new games so I can't wait to see what he gets.

I have missed you guys!!!

Hello everyone
very busy @ work today. Went to Macy's after work and ended up paying 20 for stuff that totaled 153 full price. whoo hoo. Feeling wiped now so not going to exercise tonight. Don't have to work again @ macys until Fri and Sat.

Hello everyone. Late check in for me. Christmas was mellow just like we like it. Hubby and I spent most of Christmas day on the couch in our jammies watching movies. Today has been a busy day. I started my day off at Kohl's early morning sale. Hubby and I both received Kohl's gift cards from lots of our family members. (With our shrinking sizes....clothing gift cards are usually a safe bet.) Then I was off to yoga class. Today I took one of my former students who is now in high school. Her mom and I work together so we have kept in touch over the years. This evening hubby and I went back to Kohl's to shop for him. We found all kinds of cool stuff for him. He managed to spend all of his gift cards. I still have plenty left for future visits.

Food hasn't been too bad. I am not the model of a perfect WW person this week, but I am certainly not going crazy. TOM is here....so I have been a little up this week, but I should still be in the zone by Saturday.

Oh well....off to bed. I will try to hop on earlier tomorrow.
