Morning girls, my plans of sleeping in went unnoticed by Billy and the puppy. He usually lets him go the potty and run around for me if I want to sleep a little, but not this morning. I woke up to him gone to play golf and the puppy licking my nose!! Now he's dragging his blanket that weighs about as much as he does around the room. LOL
No major plans today. My kids have a birthday party to go to and the wind is supposed to be blowing pretty bad. I guess that means I'll be watching football. I am playing in a fantasy league playoff challenge. I've got a few Giants on my team since my ds assures me they are going to win today. LOL We'll see. I need to plan some meals for this weekend. I want to have Mexican sloppy joes that I found a recipe for. I have used it before and they ae delicious. If you use a light bun they are only 5 points, or 7 points with regular bun. Have a great weekend girls!

Lizzy: have fun if you go to the basketball game! You'll have to take pics of your crocheting creations so we can see them!

Jen: OMG, the laptop incident would suck! Ole Kevin sure is a wise man for getting that warranty isn't he? Congratulations on your legs hurting!! That's a great sign for you! An 11 pound sign I think! You are doing awesome!!

Gina: I have heard of Publix, but we don't have any near us. I am jealous! LOL

Terry: I can only imagine Tony's face when you said the entire house was going to start eating healthy! LOL I am with you and Kimberly. I can think of nothing more irritating than being out in the cold during the mornings! LOL

Allison: Have fun on your trip!!

Lori: LMAO at Valentine Christmas! I have had those before also! Have a great 10 day stretch!!

Nikki: That's great about the job and the connections!! I am so excited for you. Hope you find new framers!!

Have a great weekend girls!! Hey where's Barb? She's usually here by now! I want to know how the juicer is going and if Holly is orange yet!

Oh Nikki I would hire the other guys and tell that asshole to FOAD! Look at how your 2008 is starting out!!! Such a wonderful opportunity for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo happy for you!

Lori- LOL at Valentines Christmas. My MIL actually leaves her tree up year round and decorates it for the different holidays. LOL BTW I gave you some advice on your other thread.

Xan- Kevin got the extended Warranty for 2 reasons...if it got damaged in transit and because what I did, is something more typical of him doing! LOL

Lizzy- I wish I could go back to bed for a nappy nappy!!!!

So I did my workout like a good girl. My legs are TRULY killing me now. Actually I am probably going to do the workout again tomorrow because I found the choreography a bit difficult and I need to master it. I didn't use weights, I went about it truly as a beginner. I figure next week sometime I will incorporate light weights and build from there. That is what i did the first time around and I had such great results.

Alright....I need to down this water and start cleaning my kitchen.

I am sure I will be back in between cleaning rooms. LOL I am so lazy.

Oh and Allison if you are lurking about...have a great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

popping real quick, really do need to get my rear in gear, if I get things done today, I can have a totally bum around day tomorrow.

Xan- I have one pic up here under my pictures for the afghan i made for charity. Only can have a few pix on this site. Will post some pix on my myspace page, will message you went I have them up.

have a good one ladies!!
Lizzy

Good morning ladies! Hey guess who called me yesterday afternoon as she was driving home from work? LIZ! I was so suprised! It was great, she had told me before to not be suprised if she called. He was so fun talking to her, Xan, can you believe she says I have an accent! LOL!!!

Not much planned for the day here, I have got to go to the store and get some snacks and drinks I am hosting our "service organization" meeting here at my house tomorrow. Xan, I promise to have lots of WW friendly foods. Any special requests? That is all I have going so far.

Lizzy: glad you got a nap! Have you got any news on your Mom yet? Hope she is feeling ok!
Jen: thank you for your encouragement on my blog, I feel kind of stupid complaining about 2 pounds but hey that is my life. I can't believe you spilled you coffee on your computer, how awesome that Kevin thought to get that warranty. Just so you know I LOVE DLISTED!!!
Xan: mmmm...waking up to puppy breath! How great! Have fun playing your fantasy football.
Allison: have a great time with your Mom and be careful!
Terry: I'm sure Tony's face looked about like James' when I tell him we are eating something new or that it is actually WW. God forbid he loose 1 pound! LOL!!!
Gina: 2 workouts, you go girl. Have a great day.
Nik: wow your 2008 is starting pretty good. I'm with Jen on the framers, although I had to sit here for a couple of seconds to figure out FOAD!!! Hey what can I say I'm quick! LOL!!!
Lori: have a safe and fun 10 days, hang in there too you can conquer your awful evenings. Have a great weekend.

Okay..I have posted "the reviews" for the 2 recipes we tried this morning. The soup is a keeper in my book--I just finished up my heaping bowl full of it and I feel so full and warm inside!! DD now thinks she needs to be the "next food network star" since her strawberry mousse was really good.

It is finally warming up some today. I have the fire barely going now. I am sure the kids will be glad for a few days of warm nights as I am really making a dent in their wood pile.

Xan: I love the blanket being bigger than the puppy..that is cute!! DD's 10 lb Fiest got a sweater for Christmas and he is not happy wearing it and she is making him...it is soo funny to watch him outside trying his darnest to get it off.

Lizzy...you sound like me, I am trying to get the laundry done so I don't have anything I HAVE to do tommorrow!

Lori...The WD-40 won't hurt her, I promise!! Cowboy Magic is really good though--DS helps a neighbor with his horses and barn and he believe in it totally!

Jen..you beat me to the punch on leaving the tree up and decorating it all year long--my beauty parlor lady does it...it is really a neat idea if you have the space, etc.

Nik: The coffee shop sounds like a great deal! G/L with it. Oh, I tried my hand and taking pics of my soup..LOL!!! It was defintely NOT a picture says a 1000 words kinda picture. It was horrid looking!! If I posted that sucker, nobody would try my recipe..LOL!!!!

Cheryl..cool about talking with Liz..must have been the day for surprises!!!

Okay gotta scoot and get dressed...we are off for an afternoon of looking at hunting dogs, vendors, etc. WOOHOO!!

Well I decided to call the number on the warranty info and am glad that I did. Now I don't have to run 30 miles down to Monroeville, as they would have to send it out to the same place anyway. So they are sending me a box to ship out the laptop in and the turnaround on it is supposedly 10 tens. If they can not fix it, they will replace it. I would love a new one! LOL Seriously, the battery on this dies soooo fast.
I have been straightening up in the middle of that and the kids are not helping my cause!! GRRRRRRRR.

Lizzy- Come on! Finish cleaning so you can bum around! That is now my goal too.....do the cleaning today and laundry tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow I can focus on crocheting. Those squares are starting to come along nicely....if you are interested I can scan a copy of the pattern to you.

OH I have to say that I am glad I am doing the crocheting.....keeps my hands busy!!!

Cheryl- You would bust out laughing with my accent!! LOL I still have the NYer in me!...can't you tell with my FOAD comment! hehehe What type of snacks are you making for your meeting? Need any recipes since I am on a kick with that? LOL

Good Morning all. We slept in this morning it felt good. The kids and I had a good breakfast now we are cleaning and getting ready to go ICE fishing with DH. He's already out there setting up the shanty and all. I dont know how much fun Ill have but the kids will have a blast. I think Ill take a magazine. After we are done we are going tp see my Mom. It will be nice. I havent spent any real time with her since before XMas. Well Ive offically decided to research some over the counter "supplements" to help jump start the weight loss. That should be interesting. Im so excited about the recipe thread. It should be fun . Well Im off to finish getting ready for our fishing trip. Have a great day ladies.

Hey Loves,
I'm gonna try posting and hope it shows up...Gregg's computer has serious problems. Yes, I called my sistah Cheryl yesterday , it was fun..wished we could have talked for longer, I'm one of those bad people talking while they are driving (not often though) She does have a cute little accent! I was up the exact amount at W-I 2.6 , so I'm gonna get my butt in gear. I was pro-active and made the "garden bake" last night and it was awesome this morning. Still waiting for my "Turbo Jam" to be delivered...damn shippers! Okay gotta run cause he's gonna ask why I turned the darn thing on....

Terry-You FoodNetwork Hottie! The soup sounds awesome, gotta try it..Go Kimberly!!

Cheryl~I love that new picture!! You skinny Mama!! Have fun, le me know how it went!

Jen~Gotta Love the accent thing, can't take the city outta the girl..LOL Awesome job on the scale!!

Erin~Hey Buddy, have a great day!

Nik~Great news for 2008 already, I'm sooo happy for you!

Barb~Is the family loving the juicing yet?

Lizzy~Enjoy some relaxing time lady!

Allison~Have a Great Time!!!

(((HUGS & KISSES TO ALL))) Anna! Angela, Em, Gina, Lori!!!

Taking a break to eat something. I know if I don't eat a little something now, come 3:30 when we are eating dinner I will eat double and I don't want that.

The house is pretty much done, except for bringing the laundry downstairs and I am figuring on doing that tomorrow. Darn! I just realized that i still need to go grocery shopping, so I guess i will be doing that tomorrow. Ah, thats not too bad though. Then the rest of the day I can crochet away and play on the wii.

Erin- I would love to go ice fishing!!!! Enjoy your time with your mommy.

Liz- Ya know, you are only a few hours away....hmmmmm. Maybe I will have to hit the turnpike when the weather is nicer and we could meet at the outlets that way! You will shake off that gain in no time.
