Hello everyone,
not much changed from yesterday. Need to do laundry but not much else to do. Should take a walk and do some crochet. Was up this week, but w/ less exercise, those chips and the accident in general. Wasn't a normal week. Hopefully will get back in the groove this week.
Bought some skinny cow sandwiches and the cookies tasted so stale.

have a good day everyone,
Lizzy

Morning Lizzy....I decided to get up before everybody else and do my exercises (Jen, are you proud of me??)....yesterday was quite exciting although I did not have to do anything hands on..I got there too late to be "taught" what to do, I did learn alot about the different cuts of meat and where they come from. You don't think about stuff like that when you buy it out of the store--you know? Also found out some of the stuff they have labeled in the store does not really exist-they just made it up by cutting something else or renaming something. Interesting!!!! We are to be back @ 8 this morning to start today's work. Today is making sausage and pudding---this part I know how to do the work so I will be hands on.

Eating went well yesterday..grabbed a subway soup for lunch on the way out of town (it was really good but I need to check on nutritional value) and left over spagetti last night with noodles (LOL!). The family was so pooped out, they ate, showered and hit the sack. I decided to go early too (I am talking 7!!) and get a good nights rest so I was in tip top shape today.

Called some local stores yesterday afternoon for pricing on washer...has anybody ever done rent-to-own?? I figured it was not a good deal in the long run but they have the EXACT machine I would love to have!! Sears does not have any great sales going on as none of the local appliance/furniture stores did either..checked on a couple of used ones but still too much I think for used ($150+)...decided to hit laundry mat tommorrow or Monday and get the bulk done and get this weekend over with and then concentrate on a new washer.

It is nasty out today...light rain and 42...they are calling for bad weather to move in later this afternoon if the conditions are right. Maybe looking at icing up tonight which is NEVER good..I will take snow & sleet but leave the ice up north--it destroys us down here with power lines, driving, etc.

Found out yesterday my dad has to have cataract surgery end of this month in both eyes and my MIL has to have heart cath on Wed of next week. Not good to get bad news from both although I realize both are totally routine deals. Just keep them in your prayers please!

Okay off to take a quick shower and wake the house...have a great day girls!!

Good Morning Ladies.

I had such a hard time falling asleep last night! I think it is because Kevin told me he will be home the middle part of the week. Last night when he told me that, I asked him why he hasn't asked how it is going with WW and exercise....so he then was sarcastic and asked how much I have lost, so I told him and he said wow so you mean I make you gain weight. LOL Yes you do....he asked how and I told him...I do not eat healthy food when you are home, I drink too many calories when you are home, I get no exercise when you are home. I then told him that I do not care if 2 meals are cooked, I will eat what i need to, I will workout 4-5 times a week whether I have to go to the Y and do it or stay here it will get done. It felt good to get that off my chest and he said that maybe we could take up racquetball together.
We will see what he does, but i know what i will be doing.

So it was just me and Garrett last night. Jess wound up going ice skating with one of her friends and then after she asked if she could sleep over there and I said yes. I was glad that she was asked to go, but I am a bit nervous about her staying there.....they are great people, really are, but this is the family that had started that whole epidemic with lice during softball. Ugh Jess and Blair kept passing it back and forth no matter what I did. Finally I had to get a prescription from the dr for them. That did the trick. I think as soon as Jess walks in this house later I am automatically washing that hair with whatever I have in the house. I will be really upset if she gets it again.

The weather report here.....high of 25 today...tomorrow the high will be 15. I dont' think I am going to be outdoors much! hehe

Lizzy- No you did not have a normal week....hopefully this one will be alot better for you.

Terry- I am very proud of you for doing your exercise already!!! Great job!! Don't do the rental thing....you wind up paying double for it. Do you have a Sears Scratch & Dent? I had gotten my fridge there....normally $700 but it had 2 scratches on it (hello i have kids who cares) and paid $300!!!!

OK.....gotta finish my coffee and then tell Garrett he has to watch Jetix upstairs so i can workout. I have even made my rotation calendar again for my workouts! wooohoooo feels good to be back in the saddle.

Morning girls! I'm heading to the mainland today to get some last minute winter groceries and leave my truck over and bring mike's truck back, it's blowing pretty good though, so I'm just waiting till 8 to see what the ferries are doing. I'm figuring that they arn't gonna run past the weekend with the temps we are supposed to get, the lake is bound to freeze soon. Bummer!

Also hoping to head over and check out the house, last time I saw it only 3 walls were up, now the whole addition, 1st and 2nd floors are up, I even think it has a roof on....whoohoo...

Cooper in bed with me AGAIN...no barfing though, I think the other night was a fluke, he was fine all day yesterday.

Ok, I'm off to get some more crap together in case the boats are running at 8:30.

Have a good one!

Morning Terry and Lizzy...early birds!

Hey jen, you snuck in! Have a good day!

Oh Nikki I hope the boats can run for you!!! I dont' know how you do it. I bet you can not wait for the mainland house to be finished already!!!!!!
Does Cooper sneak into bed when mike is home too?

Hello ladies! It is cold here today, right now it is 21, and the wind is upposed to blow to. Not sure what I will do today. Ian (DS#1) went to work with his Daddy and the other 2 are still asleep. So I sit here with my coffee on the computer. So nice!

Nikki: heard that there is supposed to be a major storm with "lake effect snow" up your way. Stay warm and safe. Have fun going grocery shopping.

Lizzy: I hope your week turns out to be 110% better! Have a good day.

Jen: way to go telling Kevin what you need. I hope it works for you. You are so strong I know that it will. Have a great Saturday.

Terry: glad you didn't have to do any real hands on yesterday. So sorry to hear about your Dad and MIL! Prayers for both!

Has anyone ever visited the website grocerygame.com the lady that came up with it was on the early show today and she was giving tips on how to save money while grocery shopping. She and the other lady had the same lists and the one spent $49 while the other spent $167. I couldn't believe it. I am going to go check it out.

Buddies have a great and warm day! Hugs to all!!!

I am so excited! I actually got an extra day of exercise this week!!! WOOT!!!!!
On the bad side, I looked at my scale this morning( I know bad idea) and I am right where I was at WI earlier in the week. I am willing to bet though, that it is because I started using weights. It's alright.....it will all catch up in the long run. And thats what this is....for the long run.

Cheryl- Ohhh I didn't see about the snow near Nikki.....that is where Kevin is. enjoy your peace and quiet.....my Garrett is playing is gameboy and watching Jetix.

Alright....I need to jump in the shower and get over to my MIL to hook up her DVD and VCR with the TV. She is not very electronically inclined. LOL

BBL

Well I say it is near Nikki, they said the Great Lakes region and how much closer could it get, right? Not really that big of an area is it? Hope Kevin packed his long johns so he is warm. LOL!!

Cheryl- Kevin had to run to Wally and get longjohns! LOL And his he didn't bring his new carhartt jacket either! It is freezing in the plant.

So I got home a little while ago from my MIL's, had my lunch and am awaiting Jess' return. I have also got to get cracking with cleaning! OY....particularyl since the tornado himself will be home midweek. hehehe
