Hi guys I made it through my first day. I am thinking i'm going to have a little low then i'm going to be slammed... YIPEE... Love them all I didn't tell them aout my 2 days... they said tomorrow was another day for hr stuff... they didn't want my paperwork or anything... and I don't know who i'm suppose to even report to. I have 2 attorneys I work for. I love them both. I am still sick as a dog... but going to have a quick bite to eat take a night flu pill and pass out oh.. had an eye appt tonight... I pick up my new glasses tomorrow... got the cheap ones but the girl helped me pick them out so i'm happy. Anyhoo... I was asked how I've been driving because I should not be. . . nice thought huh... night all i'll catch up tomorrow... i am so tired

Morning gals just a quick hello, I'm showered and drinking coffee. I could be much sicker so I'm ok with where I am. My chest is on fire but I'm going to take tussin all day and my cough drops and I should be fine... no I WILL BE FINE. LOL wish me luck. Kat, I know not the same because I do have a wood fireplace, but I have a gas fireplace in my bedroom... mmmmmmmmmmmm so cozy - I turned it down so it was cooler in there so I could breathe. anyway... jane, glad your arm is better Michelle & Laura - you go girls tracyk - tracyks - pam - haydee - denise - suzie and everyone else... hey!

Hi gals thanks for your good thoughts... I'm kind of nervous... and guess what I AM SICK! I have been taking tussin all day and just took a night flu med thing and going to pass out so i can be good in the morning. i got some cough drops to take with me... but i'm not getting any sicker... that is that if i don't check in tomorrow am... you will be my first priority when i get home night all

Morning gals just checking in... everyone here is sick and now time for ds to have it but he sould like he is getting his croup back. I hate that. so after a long night worried about him ... i called the dr and she said to get him back on his steroid for a week. hopefully he will be better tonight after a day of it. i feel like i'm getting tight so i took some tussin this morning to catch it before it hits me since i start my new job tomorrow. I am so ticked. I told step mom i would do a couple sundays if i HAD to and she never told me who/how I was being replaced on Friday/Sunday nights. She never said until last night that she needs me to do sundays and asked how many i wanted to do. I know she was annoyed but I told her as little as possible. Now i'm going to be working 7 days a week. NO>>> NO NO. not going to happen. I'm exhausted now... WTF I'm working a job i can pay my bills and I'm done, the end of march is it at the latest. I just can't do it and is bs that she would let it go. She has known for almost 2 weeks that she needs to replace me and has not done anything to hire anyone. UGH anyway, that sums it up. Is it May yet? I need heat and sunshine and my violets

Well I'm off to work my last friday night... YIPEE

You guys are so funny.... Unfortunately... I'm in the itty bitty titty committee with Pam ...SO I guess I won't be saving anyone either. LOL

I sucked it up and got on the scale this morning... afraid of what I was going to find... I was shocked... was only 205... I felt like 215 to tell the truth... so I was happy... considering all the pain meds and food I felt like I was eating this week. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing all week... and Monday starts a new week... and new job... I'll bring my lunch and be away from food...

Morning gals so... had a big day planned for today, have to be to work at 2 got up early... and the snow started early, already an inch on the ground. I'm so upset. Had a big night planned tonight too. not going anywhere in the snow. I do have to run down to my friends to have him fix my headlight for me. It is making me crazy not working and I already got pulled over for it. Well... TOM is still here... it has been 5 full days. I'm starting to get slightly worried about that... I never go more than 3 days and that is a bad week, and i had very bad cramps this month. I am afraid to go back to obgyn - they told me any more issues and they were going to take my parts since I can't have anymore children. I just don't have time for that. Terry - You sould like we did with gram... great gram, great mother, great life, we just didn't want her to suffer. You are in my prayers hey everyone!!!!!! that way I can't forget... LOL I am spacey lately Haydee... that was such a cute pic... you are not a dork!

Hi guys just checking in... ds is making me crazy today... breathe.... anyway... have you all heard about MUFA's and loosing bellyfat? It was in my prevention magazine and then on Oprah yesterday (but i missed it) about the same thing. Anyhoo... to sum it up, you add 1 small serving of the following to every meal... olives, oil, nuts, avacado, or chocolate. I mom has been doing it and swears her pants are fitting different and her love handles are going away. it is odd. But she has had olives with every meal, just 4-5. I got some macadamia nuts yesterday and had 5 with my breakfast, (protein shake) and will do the same for lunch and dinner. I'm going to do shakes for a few days, but when i start eating i'm going to put the 1tbs of olive oil/flax seed oil in my tuna/chicken salad. I took measurements yesterday, they have not changed in months - which i guess could be good or bad... but i'll do it after 2 weeks of the MUFA's and see if it really works. ttfn

Terry - My prayers are with you and your family. Make sure to get rest when you can - you won't be any good if you get completely run down

lol oh wait... my ticker is gone

tickers are back. how strange i'm off to get some groceries.

Good morning ladies. Well - last night I moved furniture, put my table back in the kitchen and the island in the back room and sat at the table. Let me back up... 14 years ago, I was in a horrible car accident, rolled my jeep going 60mph with no seatbelt and was stopped only when I hit a utility pole. Needless to say, I destroyed my back! Anyway, after years of therapy and drugs I got better but sometime some things just don't work for me. OK... back to today, my stools at the island don't bother my back but... I cannot eat at them, I must be sitting funny and everything gets stuck, but the table chairs, I remember why I had them in the back and never sat out there. Within 5 minutes of sitting at the table with mom, I could not get up, once i did, could lot lie down, bend over - i went to bed taking a hydrocodone (sp) and on my side surrounded by pillows. I am better this morning but still hurt a little. Can deal compared to last night. I need to get back to the exercise. Anyway, dd is home this week, our winter break, so last night I asked her if she would do a photo shoot with me today with some new clothes, of course she said she would. I have a ton of things to do today but if I don't get them posted I'll post them tomorrow. I have to be to work today at 4. The count down begins! Tracyks - I need a new dl pic. mine is 20 years old, but I'm going to wait until i get to 190. LOL

Tracyks - I start my new job on Monday!!!! Just went shopping with mom, she got me clothes for my birthday that is coming up. I got... 2 pr dress pants, 2 pr casual pants, 3 skirts and a bunch of tops (5 sweaters and 5 shirts) all for $250! and I was so very happy with everything I got. I am slightly bloated from TOM but all the bottoms were 16's - which should I mention I was thrilled about because when I was this weight last time I was in 18's and tops were med/lg depending on how I would wear them. Then we went to applebee's for dinner and I stuffed myself - came home and made breakfast and lunch for tomorrow. I need to get it together! Anyhoo.... I'm going to hang up my clothes and do some more laundry...

Congrats Kat - I'm so happy for you... and jealous!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!!!! Hope you have a fantastic Birthday. Pam- I'm sure Suzanne made it home safe and sound but I understand the worry. Kat - I hope you hear today...and go you with the scale moving, hey the way I feel lately a lb is a lb. Michelle - go you... I have to go back and find the link for that 5 day thing. I'm doing protein shakes today. I need to do something. I wanted to get back to the gym this week but i have a very long list of things I need to take care of before I start working Good morning everyone... just getting up.. got an early visit this month from TOM... which sucks but I guess better than having to deal now than the first day of a new job - but definately explains why when I went shopping Sunday I wanted to take the bridge and felt like a big fat cow.

sorry - HI DENISE LOL I forgot you too ... and Jane... and maybe Michelle... in my drunken stuper last night. Off to shower and get groceries. I have a busy week ahead to get everything done before I don't have days anymore. when I go do my new hire stuff I have to tell them I need 3 days since I have trial on April 17th. :wub:

Morning ladies Judy - thank you... that was so very touching what you said, and it is true... I start next monday - the 25th. Kat - soooooo jealous.. LOL... my tt won't be until next year Laura - they are all giving good advice - I too am in the same place. I've been bouncing up and down for months, but then I go out and get hit on, get looks from people I have not seen in a while.. shoot, I went to Fridays for lunch with mom yesterday and this guy almost fell off his chair watching me (mom was cracking up - she was watching him). How easy is it to get comfortable with that? Anyway, I have not been to the gym in 6 weeks. I am going to try to get there today and if I don't make it i'll be there tomorrow, because next week when I start working days I'll be at the gym every night and will be doing water aerobics Tues and Thurs nights. I miss that - I was going in the morning but just so tired couldn't make it at 9am and then shower there - I felt like I was spending my entire day there. Now I'll be able to do aerobics and rinse off in the shower and not worry about drying my hair and fixing my make up and such. PLUS... I won't be working around food every day and sat nights are my oven nights so... that should help so much. Pam is right.... we need to figure out why we eat... that is the first step, but doing something bout it is not always easy when our environment is part of the problem.... well mine is changing so I won't have excuses

hi guys well. i've officially lost it again... celebrating being able to function again... love you pammy :cheers2:

good morning ladies I have missed a lot.. I do want to say... Laura and Judy - my heros... you guys look great... I went out after work friday night to have a job celebration drink and was going to be home by midnight.. well... 4 drinks and 2 shots of tequilla on top of that and 4am later... i got home... NSV... was hit on by a cute guy... and actually danced with him... and at my bar where I never ever do anything like that... another friend came over looking me up and down and gave me a great big hug and hold me how great I looked... anyway, needless to say i slept until 2 when I got up to get my car from the bar and go to work, I think I was still drunk at work... so after working all night last night... I got home and was so tired, took a little nap at 1 and got up at 4 to go pick up my neice who was completely wasted and needed a ride. She is just 21 and I'm so proud of her for not drinking and driving. I never laughed so hard in all my life... she is so funny and her friends they were cracking me up... so we are 1 minute from home passing a small town, i'm speeding, laughing hysterically and then the police lights turn on... OH SHIT... one of the friends says... my uncl is the capt of the police dept... i'll just tell them who I am.... I was freaking out... saying no don't do that... so he just pulled me over for my headlight, which has a short and I told him I was picking up the drunk kids, he was impressed ran my license to find out i'm clean and sent us on our way... no ticket nothing... so that is what I've been up to... Oh, Judy, every time you tell us about stroms and high winds it arrives here the next day... I hope you keep your ice storm.. How exciting... another curise Kat... Hope you fell better Jane - you too Terry - so glad you got a day to relax, you need it Tracyks & TracyK, Haydee, Michelle - hi there I know I'm forgetting someone... so hugs to you all off to go early b-day shopping to get some clothes for my new job... have my last week of full time pizza shop this week. It is going to feel good to get dressed every day.

:thumbup: i was looking for a hug and found this... and was cracking up. had to share

I am so anxious about starting my new job. but after today only 1 more friday, just sucks that I have to work the week my kids are off I have to work nights... Denise - i'm so excited for you. I use to be in new construction lending and you are in for fun getting everything just the way you want it. hi de ho everyone... i'm going to bring my car to the dealer this morning and get that taken care of. I am also going to get my mom her birthday present, we are getting her a flat pannel tv for the breakfast room where she put the exercise bike she got for herself. I have such a sense of relief about everything and just can't wait to be functioning like a normal person again. Yes there are some things i'm going to miss by working day hours but i gain so much it is incredible I hope everyone had a great V-Day yesterday... i'm off to shower

Pam- Yup that was pretty much the way it went... sadly.. i think i got his attention...and that was not even my intention... LOL just felt good to go in there and not be a mouse... like i have always been. did i mention that my tickets are paid for!!!! that is a great feeling... and I paid off a credit card today! this is all good
