hello everyone,
posting, so hopefully no dupe

Lizzy

Back again,
Have some good news, I might be taking up the belly dancing again. My coworker that helps teach the course says it's going to start again next month. Knees have been holding up good so probably will give it a shot.

Not much else going in still keeping up w/the exercise and water. Have confirmed my last day w/ macy's is on Friday. Need to decide soon about that online course for med transcription.

take care everyone
Lizzy

oh man just lost my post! Darn!
Hi Lizzy!
I'm up early today. I was going to work out but my bed is too toasty and warm. I will do my exercise tonight. I did go out and did the treadmill last night to work out my "doughnut" incident yesterday!
today I plan on working and not playing here too much! LOL! Ya right...

Lizzy~ Yeah belly dancing! that will be great for you. Have you checked on some clinics in your area and see what kind of MT's they use? also check out some local docs too. There are regional companies that hire MT's to work out of home on the mt boards have you checked them out too?

Xan~ Way to go on your loss girl! that is awesome! You rock!

Allison~ Have you got the book yetI? LOL

Terry~What did you find in the way of a washer last night? anything? I hate appliances! GRRRR........

Jen~ Any luck with Scout?

Nikki~ Have you made any of those recipes yet?

Anna~ How'd your night time go last night? Mine was good, no snackaroos for me.

Erin~ Can't remember if I said way to go on your loss yesterday....well way to go girl!

Sue~ How is the painting coming along? what other colors are you doing?

Ok going to go put clothes in the dryer and get my coffee be back!

Barb

Today Barb!!! lol Actually it's probably still just in hard back? I have to run to Costco today so I'll check there. I started a different book a few days ago but have been having a hard time getting in to it...

Lizzy- That's great about starting belly dancing again possibly! I hope it works out!

Well today I have to finish all my assignments so I can finally start writing the dreaded 900 word essay! Plus I am going to call the Board of Educators in Texas and find out some info on teaching in the future. I may only stay with the University of Phoenix online to get my Associates and then transfer to the University of Texas San Antonio to get a Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies along with my Teacher's Certificate. I was hoping to do everything on line. So many options and I just want to make sure I am on the right path.. Nothing like wasting time and money.....So, enough rambling about that.

Eating and exercise are back on track. I am going to try a new class at the gym this morning. It is a combination of self defense, aerobics, and pilates...? Sounds interesting to say the least...BBL

Good morning everyone. As usual we just came from having 2 weeks off....and it now actually feels like it never happened. OY!

Things are pretty good here. Last week at WI I was about 1.5 lbs out of my range to make lifetime, so I was stressing a little because I have 2 more WI's before I "graduate"....but this week I seem to be getting back into my zone. I think just getting back to my regular routine is helping.

Allison--that class at the gym sounds really interesting.

Lizzy-my exroommate was a belly dancer. It was fun to go to her performances. She used to make a lot of her own costumes too.

Okay...gotta run and get ready for work.

Have a great day everyone.
Lorena

Morning chickie! I am off to a good start today. I did a two a day yesterday to make up for the snacks I had the night before while watching my lifetime movie. Then I got up early today an got my workout in, complete with some strength training. We will see if my food choices can follow suit. I have to take DD to the doc this morning for her check up. Hope fully we can get in and out with out picking up any germs. Then we are headed to the other bakeries. I only made it to one yesterday. I realized that most of them are near the docs office so I put it off until today. Okay - better go get a shower since DS just told me I am stinky. I must really smell when DS tells me that. LOL! Check back later!

Lizzy~ How was sleeping last night? DId you manage to get in another night in a row? I am excited for your belly dancing... I know you enjoy it!

Barb~You are up mighty early! No work and all play, well you know what they say!

Allison~ That class sounds awesome! Let us know how it went. Then o your homework.

Jen~ Were you talking about Moio's in Moroeville? If so, I agree they are quite tasty and are on my list! That is where we get birthday cakes from.

Morning girls,
I should be working, but figured I'd post now while there aren't 900 responses to get through. Chatty little devils y'all are.

Congrats to the Eunice girls on the losses...something in the water out there this week? Seriously, keep up the good work.

Ds' darned spelling bee is this morning. I let him do an all afternoon study session with a friend yesterday afternoon, so instead of getting ANYTHING done, I was there helping. After that, I have to work, work, work, and then workout. I don't think I'll be getting to the house today to do anything. Carpets are in town and will be installed on the 18th, which leaves us on schedule to move on the 19th -21st. We're going to tear out the bathroom vanity on one side today and see how bad it is. We're thinking because it's a 96 in vanity with double sinks, it's going to be VERY expensive to replace, so we'll have to figure something out. I'm guessing we'll have to replace that and the floor right away, and then the shower can wait, since it's just old and crappy, but not moldy. Blech!

Jen-I hope the browser worked out for you. And I hope Scout is home.
As for Kevin and the weight loss... I wish I had some wise words. I think men, in a lot of ways, just don't get it. And since he's been burned by it in the past, he's got a mental block on. What he needs to understand, like all men, is that when we do things that make us feel better, we are better wives/mothers. And as far as the family time goes, screw that...it's an excuse, not a reason. If the shoe were on the other foot, you would be doing everything you could to help him...that's what partnership is about. If it's important to you, then that's all that should matter to him. He needs to get past his personal shit and see the path to helping the woman he loves be happier with herself. I hate that "I think you look fine" shit. It's not about what you think...
The sad thing is, that you've already had a saboteur in your life, and he's gone now...maybe there's a way to make him understand that relationships are more apt to fall apart when someone is UNHAPPY with themselves, not when they're happy with themselves. If he continues to not support something that is so important to you, it's not going to become less important to you, but he is going to become more of a "problem" and less of a husband....not good. Wish there was a manual you could give him to read in the john..men are good with manuals, lol

Terry-sorry about the washer and the $$.

Gotta run....30 mins to work b4 I wake up the kid.
Peas,
Sue

Good morning I am sitting here drinking coffee! my sis called me yesterday and said Hannah is not any better and she has not been able to keep anything down at all!! Now she is 7 sis said oh we have a dr appt tomorrow im like put her in van and get her to hospital! she s like really you think i should im like YEAH stupid! they take her and admit her right away did a cat scan and all still havent herard from her this morning but her white blood count is wayyy up like 24000!!
We watched an old movie last night the Jazz singer! God i feel old~
I will bbl take care and pray for little hannah! GinaH

Good morning.....late check in because I was dealing with computer problems in my house this morning.
Scout is still not home! I am sooo upset. We looked around for over an hour yesterday. I have a feeling that either he got attacked by something in the woods behind the house or he is trapped in someones garage. I am just sick over it and I told the kids last night to not even think about getting another pet for a long while, if they can not listen when I tell them not to let them out, then they are not responsible enough for a new pet.
On the food front, I made 2 new recipes last night that I posted.

Congrats to the girls from Eunice on their losses!!! I think we are all going to be down this week!

Lizzy- sooo cool about restarting bellydancing!

Barb- I am with you today with work! I have my check run this morning and then I have 3 checkbooks to balance...not including my own! hehe

Allison- That is a weird sounding class. Let us know how it was.

Lorena- Glad to hear you are in the zone. have a good day.

Em- Have fun at the dr. LOL I used to take the kids to Dr Green over in Penn Hills....liked him especially since he was from long island too! And yes that is the bakery! Hit them for stuff!!!

Sue- I think I have found what the problem is with my internet. First I did dowload firefox on the one last night and was having the same problems...so I did a system restore and hit my help section again to see if I missed anything. The problem is with my Winsock. I found a patch this morning here at work, and sent it to my email, but now the problem is to try to open it there. UGH. As far as Kevin goes....I am just going to do my thing. If he is not going to support me, then screw him. He can either be with me or against me. If he is going to be against me, that is his problem. I do not care if I have to cook my own meals while he is home, I will do that. After a while he will get sick of having 2 dinners going on and will get on board....I hope. For the workouts, I will tell the kids myself to get outside or upstairs for that hour. I will continue to get them done. If they are still giving me a hard time, then I will leave and go to the Y to do something.

Alrighty....I gotta run/
BBL

Gina~ Sending prayers to Hannah, that is way scary! Keep us updated!

Jen~ Poor Scout. I hope he makes his way home, maybe he is just living it up right now and he'll be home soon!

Ok Holly needs help with tights!
