Hello everyone,
did great w/ water,food and exercise yesterday. Got a lot of crocheting done and the team actually won!!! Not to mention a bit of windfall in the $ dept. So it was a great day
Going to go to the casino in RI in a bit. Not a 24 hr one,this doesn't open until 9. Like to get there when it opens up, so the smoke hasn't built up to much yet. Gotta check the restaurants there, thought there was a subway but not sure, if not will go to the nearby mall to eat there.(gotta keep planning)
Planning on georging some meat,crocheting(started another project before finish the other one) and watching Nascar. I told ex i'd take him out to celebrate the win. So not sure if he'll take me up on it tonight.

Anyhow keep your fingers crossed I can keep my dr's appt on Wed, been having major problems finding a primary. We'll see because I need some stuff checked out.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Good Morning Ladies.
I did not want to be awake yet, but Kevin was not very quiet as he was leaving.

I did good yesterday in the food dept. but did not do well in the water area. The bathroom at the place the game was at was just yuck, and when I used it, we were only the second game....could not even imagine it later!
Blair's team won the tournament and she did great. Was glad Kevin got to see her play a good bit finally. I did 10 squares at the game too! LOL Myself and one other mom brought stuff to do....she was doing cross stitch.

I have shopping to do later today...but of course that will be after Jess' practice this morning at 11:30. SuperWally for me, so I have to drive 30 miles to go there. UGH.

Lizzy........Woohoo on your win at the casino and also for DF's basketball team!!!! Thats great! Have fun at the other casino!!!!!!

Morning guys,

Already got a 20 min walk in outside this morning. Going to do some more exercise later, but first really, really need to clean this house!!!! Ugh! It's nice to be home, but geez...could the man really live in anymore of a pit? Yikes.

Lizzy - yeah on the game! Have a fun day!
Jen - hi friend...sounds like you got a lot done yesterday. I'm on tap for the grocery store too today. I did much better last week when there were healthy things in the house to eat.

Have a great day everyone! Will check back later

Hey! All I can say is thank goodness for cyber school. I am using DD's computer that the school provieds for us because I had to send the laptop off to be fixed. Well, it is just the plug, but Best Buy wanted to be sure it wasn't the connection so it is gone until the 26th. YIKES. I cannot imagine not being able to check in until then! DH brings his laptop home in the evenings, but we all know I could eat myself thru the days between now and the 26th if I did not have access to you guys.

Must be the day for groceries - I need to restock today too. May go to the grocery with childcare and take DH with me so we can have some time without kids. Such romantic time, huh?

Jen~ If you guys are in Monroeville in the next few weeks - Great Clips opened and has haircuts for $2.99 for the next six weeks. It is right near Panera in the Miracle Mile Shopping Center. Hope you find lots of goodies at Wally World.

Lizzy~ Good Luck at Casino. Hope you and ex have a nice time out if you go.

Lori~ Excellent job on the workout already! Happy cleaning and shopping. Are you at ome this week or travelling?

Well just checking in......ask what I have gotten accomplished so far today? The answer is NADDA!
I need a day of relaxing. I am doing nothing today other than taking Jess to practice and then shopping.

I have to say, since I didn't get my water in yesterday, I feel totally bloated. I have got to get it in today!

Lori.....happy shopping!!!!! When do you hit the road again?

Em......J is still home?!?!?! I figured he would be out somewhere. Kevin is on his way to Quad Cities in Iowa. Thanks for the heads up(LOL) on the haircuts. Who knows when I will be down that way next....if this weather doesn't stop. I hate driving down there in yuck weather...thats actually why I do most of my shopping in Butler because it is a straight shot for me. LOL at romantic times at Giant Eagle! I miss having an Eagle's Nest!!!! Actually, I keep saying that I have to start doing my grocery shopping at the one in Leechburg just so I can throw Garrett in there and shop in peace. Plus the fact they have a heck of alot of better choices in there than the crappy Foodland and Shop & Save over in Kittanning that I go to.

Good morning ladies! So we made it through the Spelling Bee! Ian did great he went out in the 3rd round, he was so nervous. Poor guy! We are so proud of him. After the Bee we went to the mall, did not spend 1 dime there. Then we went to Burlington Coat factory and I bought a cute pair of black ballet slipper type shoes. Then on to Target, oh and we ate at Olive Garden! MMMmm, it was so yummy! Not sure how many points I used there, but I know I did ok because I had the Chicken Scampi over steamed broccoli, my WW leader told me that was a great choice. Not like I ate anything else the rest of the day other than a banana. On tap for today is my service organization meeting! Then more laundry. It should be around 79 today and then tomorrow we are looking at rain and snow, WTH??? We'll see if they are still saying that tonight.

Anyway, everyone have a great day and I hope to catch up more this evening!!!

Hello everyone,
back already. Usually I can make my $$ last a couple of hrs. but only lasted 1 this time. Then waited a bit in parking lot for the mall to open. Of course the place I wanted to eat wasnt open yet, so did the best I could w/ the choices I had. Will get in that water and exercise today watching nascar.

Jen- congrats to Blair. only went to 1 casino(thank goodness w/ the luck I was having.)Cool about getting all those squares done. I'm going to see what I can do today to finish up w/ mine. I have 2 projects on the back burner right now
Lori- welcome back. gl w/ the cleaning. too cold to walk today, not sure of the wind chill but its brrrr. I'm getting old I guess
Em- ugh about the computer. @ least you have a back up in DD so you can check in
Cheryl- congrats to Ian making it that far!! yum about olive garden.

brr heat is off for some reason since I've been home the past 1/2 hr. sometimes I have problems w/ the thermostat. Off to george some meat for the week then watch the racing previews while hitting the strider.
take care everyone
Lizzy

Quick check in but my home computer is back up and on the good foot!!! I have a new virus/spyware program installed and I pay $4.95/mo for the coverage/updates/IT help 24/7. They found the virus and after fighting it for about 2 hours, finally got it deleted and gone!!!

Eating and water was horrid yesterday and not good today either..may be a redo moment for me tommorrow am. Lots of stress yesterday and just not good circumstances where the horse show was..bad choices on food and no water! DD get good but did not place..ran a fraction of a second too slow/fast for the placing..DS however came home with the #2 spot in the state for the hunt! WOO HOO!!!! Last year he could qualify so he went out with a bang!!! Will post some pics for you girls soon as I have them.

Okay..DD has to get on the computer do to some school work. Chat with you later.!

Hello everyone,
landlord came by about an hr ago and the heat's back on yippee. Also just finished that afghan/lap blanket. phew thought I was cutting it close w/ the yarn. Had more than I thought. Also found out have a bid on my auction already, thank goodness, last auction I had to put in 3 times before the magazines sold.Waiting a little bit more then will find something to eat. I didnt get back in time to see if ex wanted to eat out tonight. I hate eating late if I don't have too.

Terry- bummer about dd finish, congrats to DS( is there anytype of college scholarship for the hunt???. Dont give up about the eating brush yourself off and start over and think to yourself what made you go down that road.

edit- didnt hear back but then again could have cld his cell, but I know he was in the middle of taping the b ball games today. ate a lean cuisine panini

take care everyone and have a great evening
Lizzy

Lizzy...nope no scholarships..that would have been nice though!

As for me..dang I am just falling off the wagon over and over today....not that I am eating too much..just bad food choices...DD & I ate bar-b-q last night with some of her fellow riders and that is such a HUGE no with me (the place we ate at offers absolutely nothing except straight meat, hash, rice and slaw) and then I had the brillant idea to bring it home as well so had some for lunch today..YUCK!!! Did have a good sensible supper but probably should have skipped all together. I feel parched from the salt in the food...not to mention the lack of water.

Just wanted to let you girls know with all the snow and cold temps that I actually got sunburned on my face yesterday. Looks like our winter is over with here...my flowers are starting to bud, etc.

Okay..gotta scoot...just so happy I have my computer back!!!
