Hello everyone,
damn, where did the time go. next weekend is memorial day!!
Did a wi this morning and am up 8lbs from vacation . Doing all the right things & I will be down by next week.
Guess my sis talked to the bride and groom yesterday while picking them up from the cruise. Seems like sis and my cousin feel that a member of the bride's family switched the table markers, making us sit way in the corner rather than next to the head table @ the wedding. I wish we could drop this and move on, no way of knowing that this person did it or it was staff misinterpreting the seating plan. I know when we were decorating in the morning the table was in the right place. When we got to the ceremony the table # had been moved. As a result my sis told my nephew and niece she wont be attending any functions if this person is present.
Oh man what a way to start a life together!!! I hate to have them in the middle like this.
Such is my family
ugh back to work today!!!

take care everyone, thanks for letting me vent
Lizzy

Morning Lizzy....dont' fret over the 8lbs..may be a lot of water weight as well...I know where you are coming from with the wedding stuff...it is over and done with now, might as well let well enough alone!!

Well things went very well yesterday for DD..they had a blast BUT he was NEVER ready to go back home..ended up taking him home around 10 last night which as you all know is past my bedtime..LOL...I know he has to learn us, etc so I explained going back to town that we go to bed really early Sun-Thurs due to DH's work schedule but that Thurs-Sat is no problem with being later. Had to laugh last night...DH & DS caught them walking behind the house holding hands in the field and when they saw them come around the corner, they dropped hands and jumped about 2 foot apart and kept on walking..DD told me later that she explained to him her daddy has a "1 foot rule" at all times but that I am a cool mom (3 cheers for me!!!).

Eating was really good yesterday and I w/i this morning and I am dropping the excess on back off...only 4 more lbs to be back at my ticker weight!!! I am also going to start back up with my exercise this week!

Good morning ladies.

Racing around as usual.
I had a decent weekend. We thought we were going to be child free on Saturday night, but Billhole ruined that....along with any chance he has of seeing Garrett again for a while. Seems him and his gf had a huge fight and she threw him out again......so he had to bring Garrett home on Saturday and he told me that he is looking for an apartment. Well Garrett is not going with him again unless he has a stable apartment in a decent area. Period.

Also on Saturday I went and got my new tattoo! I love it, but now I have to get my other one recolored because it just looks so pale in comparison. The new one (I will have to have Jess take a pic for me to post) is 2 hummingbirds(me and Kevin) with a vine and 5 flowers(the kids). It's really nice.

My eating has sucked since I started this new job and I have got to get my ass back in gear....so I did my shopping yesterday and am getting it back in gear today. I have no way of getting to a WW meeting, but the nurse at the Dr's office told me I can come WI on Tuesday evenings there (the night they are open late)....we will see depending on the baseball/softball schedule.

Lizzy......just start eating right again and take your walks. That is all you can do.

Terry.....that is too cute about Kimberly!

Alrighty...I have to run.

Have a great day.

Good morning!
Was MIA all weekend! Sorry! We went to my sister's on Saturday and did some sunnin' and swimming and bbqing! Had a fun day. Yesterday just stayed home and hung around. We bbq'd hot dogs at my mom's house yesterday, I had a ff one! Yeah me!
Today is Holly's field trip to a park and then swimming at the Y. I should have signed up to swim with them but I didn't, may take my suit anyway! It's going to be 108 here today! Yipes! must stay hydrated for sure!

Lizzy~ Glad you are home and ready to get to business. Too bad about the seating thing, that's just not nice!

Jen~ Hey there! Cool about your tat! take pics!

Terry~ I saw that you were having company yesterday. Glad it went well. Ugg about the time though, are we the only ones that go to sleep early? LOL! Tyler stayed until 10 on Friday night! Didn't see him this past weekend. I'm getting nervous for summer break, don't want him here all the time!

Ok I better get scooting!
be back later

Just read yesterday's thread!

Lori~ I think about Bluff all the time! I have her addy but it comes back to me! I want to find her but don't know how! Maybe I should post on BCB looking for her? Glad you get to work from home and cut down that drive time!

Xan~ It must have been sad for you to see that class graduate! Now you can see them off to college! Yeah about your two pounds, don't find them again k? LOL!

Morning girls,
oye, what a day yesterday. 5 minutes before I'm about to leave for Ds' friends birthday party, I get a call from the mom who is a good friend and she is HYSTERICAL, she's just been in a car accident and the airbags deployed, can I come get her son. Long story short, car is a mess, breaks failed while turning from main road onto a side road. She was going about 25, slowed to make the turn and realized the breaks weren't catching....plowed into a concrete block fence. Not so sure if the car is totalled. It's a land rover, and it's a good car, so it' might survive, but who knows. I waited with her for the tow truck and then went to the party place and took over the party for her, and then took her to urgent care afterwards. Didn't get home until 9 last night. Long day. She's going to be hurting pretty badly today, but no one was seriously injured, so we're all thankful.

Anna-110 here today. We're "shattering records" as the weather people put it. Thanks for the heat girlfriend

Barb-are you ready for summer in the desert. Get the suit out and go hang by the pool today. Good day to use that wireless access, lol.

Jen-nice that Bill doesn't have a place just in time for summer. Good timing eh. Sounds like a sweet tattoo, you'll have to post a pic. I'm such a wuss...I've always wanted one. I'll pierce just about anything, but prolonged needle exposure is not happening...I've always told myself when I get to goal weight, a lower back tattoo and a belly button piercing are in order. Maybe that's why I'm still fat, lol.

Lori-Sweet! I'm so happy for you about working from home. I know how much that will decrease your stress. The heart rate monitor is really cool. You program in your age, weight, and a few other things and it tracks your heart rate and calorie burn during exercie. It keeps the data for a week, and then resets. You can upload the file for storage onto their website. I love it. It beeps when I drop below a certain heart rate and I know to step it up a bit. It's nice to know what I'm really doing now.
Polar USA
Mine is the F6...sort of middle of the road. These things have some awesome functions. I didn't want to spend more than 100 bucks though. I ended up getting it on sale for 99.99 lol.

Terry-it sounds like love to me, lol. I love the 1 foot rule. And yes, you are the cool mom. Keep up the good work, those 4 lbs will be gone in no time.

Lizzy-sucks when the family can't get out of the newlyweds way. Been there, done that. My mil was like that. Thankfully things are better now. You know how to get that weight off, it'll be gone in no time. Sorry that ex flaked on you...not a good time for him to be clueless.

Okey dokey...on my list today is a lot of work, getting some groceries, checking in on my friend to see how she's doing, and getting to the gym. I have to go get the kid up now and get him to school...last week of school this week.

OMG- I just saw "Harptallica" on the news. It's Metallica on harps. Wow. I have no words for that.

Peace out ladies,
Sue

Hey Sue~ I hope your friend is better today! Scary! Yep I'm armed with my water bottle and ready for summer! Remember when we moved it was like 117? LOL! That's just not right!

Have fun today!

Morning girls, no kids right now... it's eerily quiet! LOL Tonight is the employees banquet. They always have grilled chicken and baked potato on hand, so hopefully they will again tonight. I plan to have that and salad. I have been known to sneak in my own salad dressing too. LOL

Lizzy: Oh definitely not a good way to start out your mother/daughter in-law relationship. I bet your sister will live and learn alot over the next year or so. I can't believe it's almost Memorial Day either! This year has flown by.
Jen: UGH about Billhole! I totally agree with the restrictions though, Garrett's safety has to come first. Hope your new wi place works out. How was softball this weekend?
Sue: That's terrible about your friend. I am so glad that everyone was ok. Stay cool today!
Barb: Hope Holly has a great time! Pool time is a must at 108... we'll only be at 101 today! LOL
Terry: Glad the visit went well. I LOL about the 1 foot rule, you rock Mom! Hope you have a great week! Good job on your food and weight loss!

BBL... maybe we can actually have a hopping board some day soon! LOL

Good morning my friends,

Comin' atcha from home today. Man is this nice. Dogs are happy, I'm happy...sigh. All is well. I am back on track too. Got my exercise in this morning and already have my lunch planned. Still need to get to the grocery...didn't get that done yesterday. Going back to my old meeting tomorrow night. Since I can work from home, I can actually get there in time for the meeting...YEAH!

Lizzy - ugh about the wedding. If I had to do it over, I would elope in a heartbeat. All that angst among the family was a bit too much for me.
Barb - Jim is out in Vegas for a meeting until Thursday and then headed over to silicon valley for a bit. He IM'd me last night that it was 105! Ick.... Say hi to Wendy for me!
Sue - thanks for the info. I went to the Polar site and am debating between the F6 and the F11. Will keep you posted. I like that it beeps to remind you to step it up a bit.
Jen - the tatoo sounds cool, but I am too much of a weenie to try it!
Xan - enjoy the peace and quiet while you can!
Terry - perhaps you need to just train one of the horses to walk between them? The farrier was here yesterday and he said the girls were much more well behaved than they have ever been when he's been here. He said he could tell someone was working with them....yippeee!

Ok, back to work. Don't want to ruin this work from home thing...LOL

Lori T

Hello everyone

Jen- ugh about billhole, but you are doing the right thing!! cant wait to see the new tatoo
Barb- yipes about the weather. actually i'd take it compared to our 50 ish degrees

Sue- OMG for your friend. glad she's ok. i'm going to have to check out harptallica now too
Xan- sounds like a good plan for today, glad graduation went well, but sad
Lori- mom always told me to elope, she's sooo right

Lizzy
