Good morning!! Headache still sticking around, but not throbbin!!! Is your tummy better Michelle? I hope you do fine with your fill Tracy. I think we have all learned that lesson between too much and too little, and it is a wee amount!!! Thought I had my tip, but I need to get a different one, so hang on and I will find one!! Jane

Judy too funny!!! Prayers for you Laura and your family!!! Night all!! Jane

I just lost my last post!!! Anyways I just got home from work and I am sorry if what I said was taken the wrong way. I guess I am just sensitive about this because in an investment club I belong to it seems like we are always beating the same dead horse. I am all for getting a good deal. Money is an issue with me and probably everybody else!! My panties were never down, and I am as happy as I can be today. I was only saying that because it seemed to me (although I didn't really say much at the time because I didn't think I would go) that decision was already made. I am not tethered down by anything at the time so I am pretty free to go and do anything. I am sorry again if this was taken in a harsh way!! Just trying to make it simpler and I ended up making it worse!!! A very :embarassed: and Jane

I was thinking and I might get some people mad at me, but wasn't all this "location" talk decided already? I love a good deal, but my low cost deal is not going to be the same as say Pam's low cost deal because of all our various locations. It really doesn't make me any mind where we go, just thought this was all decided already and hate to re-hash certain subjects!! I guess this is my pet peeve is I have one. Maybe I am wrong, and can def. accept that!! But I think the house that Michelle picked out is GREAT!! But, if we find a place better and cheaper and more central and easier to get to etc.... I am fine with that, I just want everyone to be HAPPY!!!!!!! Once again I am sorry if I am speaking out of turn, but when you have a headache and am already crabby and not feeling well.... By the way Michelle hope you are feeling better:sick Jane

Just for the record I am over my "private room" issues! You all convinced me I was being silly!!! Jane

I am not going to give my yes until Thursday. I have set that as the deadline for the Dr. to call. But it looks really really good that I will be going. Speaking of classes on the trip, can someone PLEASE HAVE A CLASS ON POSTING PICTURES SO THEY ARE NOT AS BIG AS MY COMPUTER?????????? Off to work!! Jane

Judy you are so funny!!! I think we should have a jewelry making class in Maryland!!! We can give Terry the cost of the stuff and then she can teach us to make some pretty earrings to match our bracelet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let see, Laura is showing off how to dress sexy, Michelle is hopefully doing our aquasize class, Judy is showing us about cyrstal light slush, and a jewelry making class!!!!!!! I can also bring scissors is anyone wants a trim or the proper way of cutting bangs!!! (There really isn't a proper way.) I am fighting a pounding pounding side splitting headache!!! Kept me awake off and on all night. It is still around but not as bad. As least I am not throwing up now. Didn't go to my meeting this morning. I am the secretary and take minutes, and get paid!!! Oh well, I called and emailed and hope they got the message, if not they figured out I wasn't coming and had someone else do the notes. I had someone else take notes a few years ago and had 6 pages of typed notes!!!! Oh my gosh how was I supposed to get that into one page!?!? Hopefully they were not chatty today. Okay I am rambling.... Have a nice one and talk to you all later!!! I am glad today is CTC DAY!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I just walked outside which is a major accomplishment for me. I wonder if I can hit onederland by our trip??? That would be a goal, I have never set a goal for specific weight loss before and am sort of scared to now. What do you think?? I would need to lose 42 pounds by then to be at 199. Plus my birthday is the 23rd of May so maybe I will set that as my goal to be in ONEDERLAND BY OUR TRIP!!!!! I guess you know by now I am pretty sure I am going, just going to wait a few days in case the Dr. calls back. Alright, long day tomorrow, plus it is the first week in two weeks that I have had to work 5 days!!!! The nerve that it starts out with the marathon Tuesday!!!

Gina and Haydee welcome back!! I hope your Grandmother gets better and things in general with your grandparents get under control! As far as you go Gina, WOW! Can't imagine how I would feel if I found out I had another sister or brother!!! Wow is all I can say. good Luck! Jane

ooohhh I look good in purple!!! I live the closest probably other than Suzie, I think it would only be a 4 hour drive!! Weather here is funky too!! I am about ready to turn my air conditioner on (not really) but oh so tempting!! T racyK I am glad you got your bonus, better late than never, but wish it was bigger for you!!! My Doctor did call and said that unless she calls back all was fine! So I will give her a few days to look at the actual film like she said and if all is well, I am going to Maryland!!!!! Jane

All hairdresser may say they do up dos but they don't! I quit doing updo because I never really did that many, and it would take me FOREVER and still not look that great! I would for sure schedule an appointment for a trial and just playing around to see what you like best. Do you go to a regular person? If so they should help you!

TracyKS, it looks to me like you have naturally curly hair, so maybe put it half up and let the rest curl down the back? I don't know, you look like you have great hair. I always wondered about why it took so long, now I know!!! Went to Wal Mart and got some of those Hostess 100 calorie cupcakes. Has anyone had them? They really don't taste bad, but oh my gosh they are soooo small. They look big in the ads, but really what can you expect for 100 calories?!? Off to do some things around the house!! Jane

That is great Kat!! Now we will all shift the purple power to JEN!!! I called my Dr's office about my CT scan and they told me they would discuss it at my next visit! I didn't know that and I don't have another time scheduled! They told me that is why she has office hours!!!!!! The NERVE!!!! I then said I want to find out today and would appreciate a call. She said the Dr. was in surgery but she would leave her a message. The Dr. was very nice and I liked her, but if that is the way the practice works i will find someplace else! I think I paid enough at my first visit to get a phone call that tells me my results!!! Can you tell I am mad!?!?!?! Well off to do lunch and then a bunch of errands!! Glad they foound your friends again Kat!!!

Oh Laura, my heart goes out to you!!! Sometimes when I hear stuff like that I think I am lucky I am single. Have a great day!! Jane

Kat, that is horrible and frightening for them and all that care for them. I have never been in that position, but I think someone not being found is one of the scariest things ever!!! Prayers pronto!!! I think I will go as long as I don't need sinus surgery. You guys are right, I am just being odd!! Now I feel stupid for saying something and calling attention to it!! So if I go pretend I never said anything!! If I need sinus surgery it is $2500 deductible and then $5000 out of pocket. Plus the time off work, although I think it will just be a day or two, but still. I am wondering if I do have this leak if it is something that you can live with, or if it goes away? I mean if you have your ears pierced and don't wear earrings the hole closes up!! I think it will be one where it hurts my bank account much more than it hurts me physically! It is hot here!! It is the middle of January and St. Louis was 10 degrees on Wednesday and I think the high today was 77! I have my windows open with the fan running in January!!!! Wow!!!!! Prayers and purple power to the Groen family and friends!! Jane

For all you hearing that strange noise, it is me thinking!! Thanks for the advice!!!

You know that sounds so nice, I might be changing my mind about the trip! I am thinking of making it an early or late stay over and seeing the Smithsonian. I really don't travel much so I try to get the most bang for the area. I went to Corning NY once and then to Niagara Falls. It was nice to do both!! When will we know about the sep. rooms? I hate to keep that issue alive but am just sooo sheepish about my cpap!! At this rate I will never get married will I? Well really looking forward to thinking about this and meeting you all!! Jane

TracyK, my grandfather used to tell me I had legs like an organ, and he died when I will little!! I have HUGE calves or is it calfs! My thighs didn't use to be large, but by gaining weight they are, now that I have lost some, it sort of looks like something melted. But, I think my calves have not gotten bigger than they are now since I was 10!! They are huge, and I hate them!! Ranting aren't I Pamela, got the picture of you and Suzanne, what a great couple you make!! You both look so happy! There isn't a Denny's smile (fake) in the group!! Here is what my January goals are: eat oatmeal and yogurt both 8 times for the month, do the treadmill at least 12 times this month, and only 3 sweet days! I am toying with the idea of today being a sweet day! Everyone have a great day today!!! Jane

Judy great nsv!!! Laura I wish I had a happy pill for you!! Pamela I didn't get the pics either! Terry, I never get tired of seeing jewelry!! Especially yours it is sooo pretty!!! Going to bed and not going to church in am, they are having some kind of installation of new officers that takes forever and a day! So I am going to sleep late!!!!! Wanted something sweet today soooooo bad!!!!! But, I was a good girl and didn't give in!! Jane

I made a schedule out for the days of the week and the tips and they are as follows, Judy---Sunday Pam---Monday Kat---Tuesday Jane---Wednesday Suzie---Thursday Laura---Friday Michelle---Saturday Michelle yours was in honor of the wonderful "To Be" list instead of To Do!!! I liked that!! If anyone wants to switch that is fine, I don't care what day I have. But, I will look forward to finding and posting something wonderful on my day!! Thanks again to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jane

Michelle, Laura, and Judy thanks for volunteering to do a tip of the day!!! :eek: FOR TRACYKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNO:whoo:W YOU HAVE BEEN SO FRUSTRATED THE PAST FEW DAYS, BUT YOU ARE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure how that wayward smile got there, but you know what I mean!! Congrats again Tracy!!!

Okay the tip/quote/inspirations/etc will not happen over the weekend. I was thinking if we could get one more person we could have the 5 weekdays covered, if we get three more, then everyday of the week would be covered. Any takers??? If you take it you have first choice of your day!! It is supposed to be warm this weekend!! So odd it was 10 Wednesday and 70 on Sunday? Wow!!! Okay everyone have a great evening and weekend, and Suzie you have done a GREAT job of motivating me to drink more water!!!! Jane

Wow Tracy, when do update your picture?? Looks great!!!! I am hoping you feel proud of the picture and the email you got earlier today!!! If you don't feel good about you should!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, now that I know we have seperate rooms, I may change my mind!! Jane

Well I haven't heard from my Dr. about the Ct scan I had on Monday, it really is no big deal since it is not serious, but I am left to wonder, and I know she got the results because I had to take them over after the test! It just aggravates me that Dr.s are no nonchalant (sp) about test results. There were times where it was serious and I was on pins and needles, do they not understand this? This time it just aggravates me!!! I hope everyone is doing better today! It is sooo hard to get back on track!!! Yesterday it was a good thing that I was busy at work because I had a hollow leg all day!!! I could have eaten and eaten!! Well off to work!! Have a good day! By the way Jennifer I sent you some lottery tickets about a month ago or so when you were talking about needing to win the lottery, did you win anything? Jane
