Good Morning buddies.. I finished my paper yesterday and now I am just making some revisions. With out the opening or closing paragraph it is 1500 words and can't be more than 1700 so I may have to shorten it some! And I was worried about coming up with 900 words! The paper was on diets so it wasn't too hard....After all the research I still think WW is the best for me!

Later this morning I will go to kickboxing. Then Church this evening at 5. I think we might go to Applebee's afterwards. I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Jen- good luck at the vet
April- Happy birthday to your DD. Sounds like a busy but fun day!
Lizzy- Get some rest so you can enjoy the game tonight!
Gina- Continued prayers are with ya'll.
Terry- I love looking on EBAY and comparing prices with things I have at home...I should do that too with some of our old baseball cards!! Have fun exploring!

Jen this leader was my leader and now I do NOT Like her at all

hey chicks...i am loving being the only one up.
the house is nice and quiet! except for the dogs, i don't know what the deal is but they have been driving me nuts all week. it started when we got that rain storm. oh well!

well the excitement of my day is a haircut and color-which i am in desperate need of. my roots look so horrible...salt and pepper city.
i used a lot of flex yesterday- i was soooo hungry. i think i made good choices though to get me by, well nuts and half of a leftover enchilada. im just glad i didn't binge. i had pollo loco for dinner and devoured it. thank god for that silly tetris game, that's the only thing that kept my mind off of food.

damn, i hear someone up. sheesh i just want a little by myself time.
sigh. remind of this 3-4years from now when i am crying that the kids are gone and im lonely.

have a good saturday!! gotta stay strong!

I need my hair colored too.....this week hopefully!
So back from the vet...I posted it in the other thread.

Now on to tackle the rest of my day.....more laundry and I am bringing my Transfirmer up and some light weights. Time to get in gear with that again!!!

Gina- I would still tell her that you are not doing any meetings for her anymore. She has been taking advantage of your kindness for too long now.

Allison- That is great that the paper is coming along! Enjoy your day!

Anna- Have fun at the salon. I had no kids last night and I don't think I have any tonight either! It is tooooooooo quiet for me! Good job on watching the food last night!!!

Alrighty...time to get it in gear.

Good morning ladies! So on tap for me today is taking the 2 oldest DS's to get a haircut. I can't stand the shaggy look and they are getting there. They tell me they want to let their hair grow out and I have to remind them that as long as they live in my house they will wear it like I say. LOL!!! I am so mean. Plus, I so sound like my mom there! Oh well!
Jen: as I said on the other thread, I am so glad Scout came home. ENjoy your quiet time.

Anna: have a great time getting your hair "did"! Have a great day. I must confess that I too am a "Tetris-aholic"! It does help to keep your hands busy.

Allison: way to go on the paper. Have a great day.

Terry: Hey you may have to find out if any of the bball cards are worth anything, DH has a ton. He has a Dereck Jeter high school card that some idiot said was not worth but about 15 cents. Can you believe that? Let me know what you learn.

Gina: glad DN is on the mend, how scary it all is still. Have a great day.

Lizzy: yeah job #2 is over, hope you can get some rest today!

Xan: have fun! Are you talking about Kevin? Didn't he tear up a knee pretty badly in HS? Have a great day.

All other buddies: Make it a great one!

Hello everyone,
finally back from laundry & grocery shop. Had to do meat shopping in the worse way. Did really well w/ sales and ended up saving about $25, I need to start clipping coupons again to get more deals, Got the fixings for the crockpot garlic chix. Also some stuff towards Terry's beans and Kielbasa soup. Found some turkey kielbasa, will try hard not to snack on it. They had chix broth on sale, so stocked up on that. Also going to try the light progresso soups, got 3 flavors. Also on tap later need to make a batch of diet coke cupcakes, been keeping them in my freezer then taking 1 out when I need a craving. Last batch was vanilla w/ diet cherry coke, this batch is chocolate w/ diet cherry since I've been having major chocolate cravings.

Jen- glad everything will be ok w/ scout so you can catch up w/other things
Terry- I used to go to auctions w/ mom & dad once in a while while I was young down on the cape, some good deals, I'm an ebayer too, haven't had too much time lately due to Macy's. Trying to sell off some of my wrestling magazines. I have magazines that are no longer published so there have been some takers on it.
Allison- glad the essay wasnt too bad.
Anna- glad you had some quiet. I still don't have pollo loco by me. I'm crocheting like crazy to keep my cravings in check bet I'm going to get carpal tunnel soon!! Have fun @ the salon.

take care everyone, and have a good day
Lizzy

Ok, I am having a hard time now, I just lost my entire post. Ugh!!!

Nothing much planned for today other than getting DS's haircut. Yeah, doesn't that sound like fun? Jealous aren't you all? LOL!!!

So since I just lost my post I am going to make this one short and wish everyone a great Saturday. I will try and check in later.

Hugs to all!!!!

Well the exercise was not good. It was the first time that I used the transfirmer since my knee in the summer and I was doing alright and then about 25 mins into it I heard a crack that I did not like. So I stopped. I definately got the heart rate up on that though. Maybe I need to do floor aerobics for a while until I know my knee is alot better. I don't have many of them, so I will have to be on the lookout.....maybe tomorrow I will have to hit Walmart at look.

Cheryl- Oh I HATE that shaggy look that the boys are wearing!!!! Devan and Nic have theirs like that and everytime they are here I get on them about it. Garrett wanted to also and I told him noway nohow.

Lizzy- I need to get some grocery shopping in early in the week. I want Jess to help me pick recipes though.

I am going to go put my leg up for a little bit and do some crochet.

cheryl...i think your lost post found itself...maybe it was just hiding...to drive you nuts...it's above lizzy's

jen: ay yi yi...the firm is no bueno for the knees. take it easy!!

Back from the auction....what I really wanted to bid on went way too high immediately..it was old cast iron wash pots that you cook outside with over an open flame...geezzz...prices started at $100...DH was really wanting one so I thought what a nice surprise that would be..NOT!!!! Did find a couple of things at the box lot sale beforehand (like a flea market but they auction stuff off by the box fulls and you have to take whatever comes with it)..I got a box for $1 that has 3 of the nice hardback Webster Dictionaries in it along with some junk books; $1 box that had a place setting for 4 of beige dishes (nice for DS for his apart); $4 box that had a window fan and a gossip bench which needs lots of work but I can resell at the flea market for $4 I know; and $1 white wicker wall mirror that needs fresh paint and I can take to the beach as a surprise for my parents. Not bad I do not think???

Okay, I am having some huge SWELLING issues..noticed it late yesterday with my feet being tight in my shoes and then today I can barely get my rings on my fingers. I am trying to determine what caused it??? Does anybody know if Naproxen would do that?? I took 3 pills after I hurt my shoulder. Something has gotta give though before I w/i on Mon am. I am scared to even look today to see how high I am because I can just feel the weight.

Jen..going to check for other post on Scout
Anna...I love my quiet time too--you can remind me as well later about that..LOL
Lizzy..I see you are trying my soup recipe..woo hoo!! I have 1 serving left in the fridge...
Cheryl..have fun at the barber shop..LOL

Okay..nothing big on the baseball cards yet...found a few names that are on ebay but only 1 out of about 15 so far actually has some good bids on his cards (more than $2). May not have anything worthwhile after all.
