Gonna start this and see if we have a dupe.

Good morning ladies.
I am up earlier than usual, but I have got to get some cleaning in this morning before I start all my errands and lord knows I need to nair my legs!

Scout seems a bit better this morning. He is walking around more and is definately awake! I did notice last night that his leg was quite swollen, I am guessing it might be a bit of an abcess fromt he bite, but since pus was coming out at the vet and he is on antibiotics, he should be alright. I will just keep putting warm compresses on it for the next couple of days to see if that helps. Kevin was laughing so hard at me last night about the compresses and the fact that he is on antibiotics. But I was just now watching him and he is DEFINATELY walking on that leg 1000% better than yesterday.

Speaking of Kevin, he should be done with the job he is on the week of the 21st. Where he goes after that, I don't know yet, but it would be nice if he was home for a couple of dyas in between.

Jess did REALLY good at her game last night, but definately needs help in the making shots department. I can't help much with shots, unless they are tequila! LOL So after we get Garrett from the donor, we are picking up a couple of her girlfriends and then heading to the Y. They can practice in the gym doing shots, then after that we are going to swim. I do not give a shit how bad I look in a bathing suit. The point is to get that activity in and eventually I won't look that bad in it! After the swimming, I will be hoping that the racquetball room is available and hopefully take the kids in therre to play handball for a bit.

Last night I got a few more squares done for the afghan. I am not going to be able to get much done there tonight as I brought work home that I really need to do tonight.
Ohhhh and I still do not have anyone to watch the kids tomorrow night so I can go to my meeting, so now I might just go wi and leave. I was thinking about going to the Tuesday morning meeting instead, but I have a check run that morning.

Oh well.......everyone have a great morning!!

Hello everyone,
ended up taking a little nap yesterday. Still sore from doing inventory of all things but did get a walk in. Stayed up late to watch the football game. Wouldn't you know woke up early again, but managed to go back to sleep. Cooked the chicken last night but not ready until about 10 so that's for dinner tonight. might try my belly dance video this morning. I don't have to go to the b ball game until later today. Had to force myself to get up to 80oz water, ugh but hopefully will do better today, I always make sure I take a 16 oz bottle w/me.
Jen- ouch about the knee, sounds like a fun time planned w/ the kids today. Messed up one of my blocks for the afghan, so need to do 1 over again. Can't rip out since did several colors. (the one w/ the white and the colored stripes.) Unfortunately cant tell I messed up w/ the colors until the block almost completed. Glad Scout is better.

Need to go and cut and paste some of our recipes. Yum

take care everyone
Lizzy

Lizzy- I hate when I have to start ripping out!!! GRR. The squares I am working on are only 3 rounds, but the 3rd round, I have to really read the directions as I do it....it goes from dc, hdc, dc, sc, hdc, sc and sometimes 2x, sometimes 3x. I have to make 27 of 2 colors. Right now I am on #24 of 1st color. I would realllllly like to get that first color out of the way already...but if I can do a couple a night right now that would be good.

Morning Lizzy & Jen!! YIKES, I am swollen like a freaking elephant today..worse than yesterday by far..WTH ?? My feet are hurting they are so big. Not sure what the crap started this but something has to give and immediately!!! Got all my water in yesterday thinking I would flush it out..NOT!! Seems to have just caused me to blow up more .

SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE TO FRIENDS FOR SUPPER !!! That was a MAJOR mistake!!! I ate a little something before we left and then once we got there, the "girls" were all inside around the dining room table laughing and cutting up and eating..OMG, did we ever eat ...the hostess had fixed an entire taco dip recipe just for ME and slapped in right down in front of me and YES I ATE IT AND YES I FEEL LIKE CRAP FOR DOING IT AND YES I WANT SOMEBODY TO KICK MY FREAKING ASS FOR IT!!! Why did I feel that I had to eat it??? but I did...they were all eating and drinking and I did stick strictly to water since it was that, koolaid or alcohol but I should NOT have eaten the crap I did. I just want to go stick my finger down my throat, I SWEAR! I HATE MYSELF RIGHT NOW LITERALLY !!!!! I ended up leaving very early (against DD's whining wishes) but I swear if I had stayed there 1 more minute with all that crap she had (cupcakes, cake, dips, crackers, meat & cheese tray, daquaries, marqueritas, creme cheese everywhere I freaking looked), I would not be able to walk this morning.

Okay so I am going to stay totally on tract today and I MEAN IT!!! NOTHING GOES IN MY MOUTH THAT ISN'T HEALTHY AND DIET!!! I need to get my butt up from here and get some breakfast started so I don't have to snack my way through that....and WATER, LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!!!

Sorry to be such a downer this morning but had to get it off my chest or shall I say my hips, butt and stomach this morning ....

Last night was a great night for DS ...he won the entire competition and qualified not only for the state hunt in March but for the world hunt sometime this summer..won a lot of great and expensive prizes too!! About $300 worth of stuff if not more..gotta price some stuff he got on the internet...he & DH got in sometime around 4am so they are still snoring. DD woke up with a freaking migraine-type headache this morning--she has never had one of those . I ended up giving her a prescription strength aleve so she is knocked out too so it is nice and quiet in the house this morning...

Okay scooting off to start my breakfast! Any kicks, etc will be taken like a woman!!!

Terry-Kicks for taco dip....but WTG on drinking water!
OK......swollen....do you have asparagus in the house? That is a massive diaretic. Try to stick with fruits and veggies today and see if that helps with being swollen. Nothing processed!!! Do you know how much sodium per day your intake should be? That has to hurt and I am soooo sorry!

Oh....almost forgot...WTG JODY!!!!!!!!! That is absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!

Good morning girlies,
Sitting here eating my cheerios before child#2 comes in to hang with all of us, hope the stress level stays down. I was able to squeeze in an extra workout day Fri., felt pretty good..think it was call Turbo, kick, punch & abs it was awesome and I felt that pretty good...Jen I think you would like this one! I was hoping to get a walk in but we might just hang with the kiddos, I'll drop like Barb and do some crunches. Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

Jen~Glad Scout is on his way to healing!! Have a great time at the "Y" sounds like fun, I'd be going with ya if I was near..2 lovely woman in their bathing suits!

Terry~I feel bad about you swollen feet that it hurts me to kick you! I agree with Jen, at least you were chugging water instead of the alcohol. Do lots of healthy veggies today...hope it goes down ((HUGS)))

Jen & Liz...I control my sodium intake and rarely use salt on "my" food because I do have a tendacy to swell...I am just confused as to what caused this epsisode...weather? meds??..strange!! I had been doing so good for the past several months having no ankle swelling at all until Friday at work. I am trying to think back what I ate this week...sausage & bean soup & salad on Fri for lunch and the swelling started about mid-afternoon...maybe weather related--we are cool one minute and hot as hang the next with humidity like summer time. I am just bumfuzzled. Fingers are feeling some better now that I have been up for a while...I woke up around 1:30 and I was washed down in sweat last night so maybe I was sweating some of the fluid off because I am not peeing it out. I drank 4 huge mugs of water from 6:30-9:30 last night with ice and still did not find relief. For supper last night, I ate a small helping of rice with beef stew (carrots, potatoes, onions and venison) but it was a small helping since I was more into the "junk food". I am going to search naproxen and see if it is a side-effect since I did take it Thurs & Fri. BBS....

Hello everyone,
had my walk and my bellydance video.Trying to plan lunch right now. Might have some of the progresso soup that I got yesterday, or have the garlic chix for lunch.
Listening to the news looks like a northeaster by tomorrow morning's commute. Doubt they will cancel work though. A lot of people out on Friday, so really hope nothing is going around. I haven't recouped my sick time in. Just crocheting now until the game later this after noon.

Terry- yeouch about the swelling, i'm sure that dish had a lot of sodium in it, drink that water today. here's a kick for you. congrats to DS.

Liz- good for you for getting the extra workout in

take care everyone
Lizzy
