<p>here they are....</p>

Hi ladies!! So many pictures here tonight! Denise, congratulations!! He's beautiful!! Just got back from doing more shopping. Not done yet! I got my picky cousin a combination of some of your ideas... A microfiber throw for her lap, a nice watch ( i couldn't find one with interchangeable bands) and a gift card for iTunes. Whew. I'm glad I'm done with her! Okay, I'm gonna go back and catch up on all the posts. Oh, I wanted to share my Christmas Tree picture and my house picture that I took tonight. It looked so pretty when I drove up tonight that I couldn't resist taking out my camera!

I've got LOADS of work to do but I just seem to get on it. WAAAAHHHH why do I have to be at work today???

You're very welcome Terry. I bought myself one too! They're super soft and I always put it around my lap in the evenings. I'm so glad you liked it!

But I like fudge!

Allergic to chocolate and nuts! Allergic to shellfish. Sensitive skin so makeup and body lotions and perfume are out. Thanks Judy...

I changed my username too Laura. When I saw your thread I PM'd Wheet. I was tired of people butchering my username... Chucka Chilla? he he he

Tracy - i'm in the same boat as you. Office staff dont get a bonus this year because we're in the red. Does my boss not realize that I'm the one that pays the bills and I know how come we're in the "red". His trips to Hawaii, Germany, Las Vegas, and trips to go see all the Notre Dame football games kinda put us there... But anyways, I'm still trying to stay positive. I won't let him ruin my Christmas. I was eating a pear for breakfast and I got the hiccups and I can't stop! They hurt... I went shopping again last night. Can't find something for a 20 year old girl cousin. She is allergic to everything and super picky. I am her secret santa so I have to spend $50-75 dollars on her. Any ideas?

Jenn, what the hell is wrong with your doctor? You need to kick him to the curb. Can't he see how much this is affecting you? AUGH!! I wish i could come kick his ass for you. Tell us how we can help. It hurts me too to see you this distraught. (((HUGS)))

Thanks for your kind words girls. We are the most critical of our own selves. Well, at least I am! Laura, glad your sis is ok. Is the driver that had the seizure ok too? That would have been so scary to go through! Pam - I wish I could come help you wrap honey. I hope you feel better soon. If worse comes to worse you might have to consider putting stuff in gift bags... Cindy - WELCOME BACK!! Can't wait to see pictures! Suzie - Is your job that you're training for the one at Curves? Judy - more forbidden fudge... how do you do it? i would fill my hot tub with fudge and swim in it. Ok, now i'm getting delirious. I haven't eaten all day, can you tell? I'm gonna go grab some food. I'll be back later...

Kimberly, we must have been posting at the same time. My prayers tonight will be for your mom. Please keep us updated of her progress...

OK, here it goes. Picture of me in blue panties is from May 07. Me in beige panties is tonight, 12/18. Don't see dramatic differences like I do in some of ya'lls but I'm getting there. First pics are at 295, current is 240.

Wow michelle, that's alot of pumkin bread!! Email me a slice please! Kat - your recipe sounds perfect for me. Easy and delicious! I'm going to make them on Sunday and see how they turn out. I'll call you if I have any problems. K? Glad I'm not alone in not being ready for Christmas. Tracy, Janie we still have 5 whole days right?? LOL! We just got home from the mall. Got alot accomplished but not even close to being finished. I'm gonna go wrap a few of them right now. I'm not too tired yet. I'm going to attempt to post a picture now...

Hi ladies! I'm shamefully sitting here talking to ya'll while there is a big peanut butter cookie in my mouth. Couldn't resist... Thank you so much for all the wonderful Christmas cards! I go check my PO Box almost every day in hopes that more have come in! I finally got mine out yesterday along with my SS gift. I hope everyone gets them before Christmas!! Kat - could you email me your turtle recipe? I've been trying to figure out what to give all all the distant family members and a box of handmade turtles would be sweet! You guys, guess what? I haven't even STARTED on my Christmas shopping yet. Me and Juan are hitting the stores tonight. We've been so broke with everything that I've been buying for the house that we had to wait until my Pampered Chef commission check came in. I finally got paid so now we can shop. Crazy huh? Am I the only one who's this far behind? Laura - i just saw I Am Legend last night too. Good movie but I wanted more... What is the name of the book? I need to read the book. I keep forgetting to post my pictures up. I'll do it when I get home this afternoon...

Oh and I finally got batteries for my camera so I'll take pics this weekend. I haven't posted updated pics in awhile. I might get brave and post undies pics. Depends on how "fat" I feel...

Thank you Tracy! I got my nanners and my week ends with a bang!

Crazy crazy week here. Work is crazy, home is crazy. I've been doing Pampered Chef parties trying to get the orders submitted so that everyone gets their stuff before Christmas. My sister sells Arbonne, which is a skin/makeup line and I've been helping her too. Now that I'm all caught up with that the real work starts. I haven't bought a single present yet. My poor tree is lonely. The only present under was the present Laura got me but it didn't last long. I kept "dipping" into it every night and finally thought that was getting ridiculous so I just pulled the box out and put the lotions on my bathroom counter. LOL! I got my secret santa gift and all I have to do is wrap it and i'll be on it's way on Saturday. I'm also working on my cards this weekend. Everyone have a great weekend, i'll be dreaming of fudge...

Okay 242 on the scale for three days straight. I finally got to change my ticker! -7 pounds in two months. Not bad. Where are my nanners Pamela?

Laura - bouquet looks beautiful!! Take a picture of it when they send you the real one. OMG I love love love your gold sweater that you had on in your pic. I love anything V-Neck liek that and it looked beautiful on you. Kity looks so cute posed next to you. He looks like a model! Tracy - SIZE 10!!! WOW! You look amazing... and your son is so cute!! Judy/Michelle/TracyKS - if you sold your fudge on this thread you would become a thousanaires. You would be our drug dealers!! How much for an ounce? he he he

Hi girls! Just a quick hello to everyone! Hope everyone is doing great. I've been super busy here at work and even more at home. Exhausted and crancky but not gaining so that's good. I love this time of year but could do without all the added stress! Love you guys!

GUESS WHAT? I got my SS gift, I got my SS gift!!! Was I the first??? I couldn't resist opening it! I took a peek and then closed it back up and stuck it under the tree. It's WONDERFUL and my FAVORITE!! Laura, how did you guess?? When I wear that lotion to bed Juan can't keep his hands off me. It's his favorite too! MICHELLE - :clap2: You have caught up to me! Your scale just gave me the motivation to get my ass in gear!!! I can't have you pass me on up! Congrats on the scale moving! Pam - I can't believe you get to go to Garth!!! He's awesome. You'll love his show. I don't think he's coming to Houston, but I wish he was. Does anyone like Celine Dion? She's already selling tickets to her January 2009 concert. We are so there! We love her! She's a little cuckoo but she has an amazing voice. TracyK - I'm so glad your sis is okay. Has she ever had this happen to her before from her diabetes? TracyKS - $3.49??? WOW! That's an awesome deal! That reminds me that I have to run to Target on my lunch hour. They have the cutest sweater there and I have to see if it's on sale yet! I still have tons of stuff to do before Saturday. I finished putting up most of the wall decore up yesterday. It felt so good to finally be done with that. They had just been sitting in the garage for months now. I've weeded alot of stuff out and I've got tons of stuff for a garage sale. What do ya'll think, should I wait until after the holidays or do one next weekend? Janiebug, Denise, Terry, Kat, Judy, Cindy, Suzie, Jennifur - HI! :sleep

Suzie! You made me snort oatmeal out my nose. Not a pretty sight! I need those too if you ever find them! I'm so glad your results were ok! Laura - WOW! You really do look amazing... No more whining about invisible bulges that only you can see! Cindy - Your posts crack me up! Can't wait to meet you in person. By the way, your float looked fabulous! I'm sure you'll be receiving a call from the Rose Bowl committee pretty soon. Terryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - hey! how are you? Heard from Josie? Said she wanted to get together soon... Let me know. Janiebug - I've been wanting to watch that movie! It's good for adults too? My boyfriend said he is definetly not going but I might go with my sisters. Real quick post because I'm headed into a meeting. Been so busy at work and at home. I'm a Pampered Chef consultant and I'm doing parties left and right. Everyone trying to get their order in so it ships in time for Christmas. I'm having a holiday party at my house this weekend. First one in my new house. So we've been so busy getting it ready. Trying to get all our lights up and I've been decorating and shopping like crazy. I'm so excited! No changes as far as weight loss. I think I also confused CTCD with ETCD. I have another fill scheduled for Sat morning. We'll see how it goes...

Just made me and my two best friends elves. Thanks Michelle! http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=9637220550

Good morning ladies!! Yay for CTC day! I forgot my cottage cheese so I have no breakfast!! Yay! Gotta stay positive today! He he he!

As I have not been on forums for very long I guess I missunderstood the meaning of "flaming". I assumed that was when you post a message, people don't like what you said and they start responding with snide or sarcastic remarks. That's what I was expecting. So my apologies for using that word, didn't realize what it meant. Actually I still don't! And I hadn't asked for fear of ending up on the dreaded newbie questions list. And no I don't mind if people disagree with me, but no one was disagreeing. All I was doing was pointing out that just like someone can ignore the RnR section others can ignore stupid questions.
