Mare, Dynamo Mal and Fit2btied

Shelbie~wishing you well with the evil ice cream battle! I lost to the Oreos. tied2bfit~It was a pleasure meeting you last night. I hope we can keep in touch throughout your journey. Thanks for the perfume comp, it is Alfred Sung, I LOVE it, it's the only scent I wear. It's an old scent and hard to find. I ususally order from Perfumania, sometimes I can find it at Kohls or Marshall's. Woofay~We missed you!!! The waiter took one group picture, I'll post it soon (I left my camera case in the car with the USB cable). Enjoy your first day at your new job, the hours sound great! I am going to try and make it to RR again on Monday, I have been soooo busy with something to do EVERYDAY, but I'm gonna try!!!

Wasa~that was GREAT!!!

Drews~I hope things get better for ya', we will miss you if you don't make it tonight. Marcy~Congrats on the new size!!! And I know what you mean about NOT wanting to leave food on the plate. We went out for dinner at my fave (On the Border) and we ordered sooo much food. Before the food even came to the table, I was thinking how bad I was going to feel not being able to finish it all. I put some food on a small plate and we took the rest home we I had it for lunch and dinner the next day. The head thing is sooo hard to deal with some times!!! We can do it!!! Hi Woofay!!!

Good morning LB buddies! Dynamo~how are things? Have things settled with the IRS? What a draining experience it must be. My cousin was battling with the IRS just last week...Long story short, the lady had the nerve to tell my cousin that she was rude and hung up on her! Dee~Looking forward to meeting you tonight! Lap~Looking forward to seeing you next month! Woof~are you going to be there tonight? Marcy~how are things in Alaska? Shesha~How your first trimester going? Drews~hope to see you tonight too! gotta run...have a Powerful Day!!!

Hi Dee~LOL!!! My pictures went from being way too big and now they are tiney...oh well, I'll just keep trying. My goal is to be able to run the race...I did the 5k in one hour this year (my feet are feeling it too). My pink glasses are from a Disco party costume...LOL, I found them at a costume rental place (the one on Chambers and Hampden). They have the coolest stuff in there. My son rented some plat form shoes with gold fish and water in the heels!! They were hysterical!!! Have a GREAT evening everyone..I am off to help my cousin move...who needs a gym when you have family and friends that need help moving?!?!?

Thanks tied2bfit! I hope to see you out there next year, it is truly an amazing experience, very humbling! okay, I have been palying around on Photobucket and I think I learned how to resize my pictures...lets see it this works???? Here are some more Yurt pictures.. fire pit Country Roads My Buster

WELCOME Dee!!!

gosh...why are my pics always soooo huge???

Here I am just after doing the Race For the Cure on Saturday. In memory of my mother, lost her 21 years ago. The Hawaiian flag in honor of her, the pink jfunky glasses...don't ya' just love em??? I can make both RR dates!

losingjusme~You are in our thoughts...where are you???...we miss you! Hope all is well and she is just on vacation.

I had mine done by Dr. Kirshenbaum too. $9950 with three month follow up care, then fills are $15. He is AWESOME!! But he is getting VERY BUSY!!!!

congrats newly banded buddies!!! walk, walk and walk some more! wishing you all quick healing and a smooth journey!!

Dynamo~My heart goes out to you! What a terrible ordeal! Your trip to NM will be such a relief for you!!!! I don't know about the book donation???, hopefully someone else can help with that. I can be at RR on the 9th. (((sending you hugs)))

Dynamo~How did the meeting go witht the IRS?? Are they done or will they need to come back??? I hope they made it short and sweet for you! I tried to back out of my third quarter estmated tax payment, but my Tax Accountant suggested that I send it in...darn it, I could have really used the $$$. Oh well, what can ya' do? SO, what date did we decide on for our next gathering, I don't have it on my calender??? Dr. K said that he had a patient that managed one of the RR and he told him about our group, he said that he could probably give us a discount or something???, the patient left but didn't leave any info for us...???it was a nice thought. Shelbie~thanks for the kind words..."Super Mom"...that is soo funny. I think all of us Mom's are SUPER! I decided on my Halloween costume...my hubby is going to be Dog the bounty hunter and I am gonna be Beth, his wife. Get some long blonde wigs (mullets and big hair), throw out some "shaka's" and "brahs" and "sistahs", wear all black, carry maise and hand cuffs...what do ya' think??? I know I look nothing like Beth, (I'll deff have to stuff). I think it would be hysterical if we could pull it off! anyone else dressing for Halloween? I know Lap is...what are you gonna be...

CONGRATS WOOFAY!!! Your new job sounds great! IT's great to have flexability, I am happy for you!

little~CONGRATS on the baby girl!!! November first will be here sooo fast. This little girl is very blessed to have such caring family awaiting her arrival!! All this baby talk....I am soooo jealous!!!

Woofay~wishing you well on your job interviews! Go get em'. My last interview was like 11 years ago, I remember being crazy nervous. Remember this: Who ever YOU choose, will be the fortunate one. Keep us posted!

Hi Shelbie~ I still drink Protein shakes. Paula said to drink two a day. I usually have one early around 9:00 ish and then one after lunch/before dinner. I LOVE the Atkins Advantage chocolate ones! I think you are supposed to eat until you get a full signal, I think mine is when I start burping, or I feel tight. People have different signals. But stop when you are full. You will be suprised how quick that happens. My head still wants to finish the plate (which is probably why we are supposed to porion the amount we should eat BEFORE we eat)or continue eating (that is the hard part, the head hunger outlasts the actual hunger). I think they say you should eat one third of the serving you used to eat. I use a salad plate for my meals. About eating slow...my band will let me know if I don't eat slow enough. That is when you get that stuck feeling. Once you get one or two of those, you will remember to eat slowly and be more aware during your meals. I bought baby spoons, but I used them maybe three times and that was that. I hope this helps and I hope I am giving you the correct info...

awww, Shelbie, thanks for the kind words. Yep, my house is the house where all the kids always are. My hubby gets annoyed sometimes, but I LOVE a house full of kiddos! Hope your doing well! My fill is working fine, it seems like it works really good about a few days after a fill up to about two ro three weeks, then I need a fill BADLY!!!

Thanks Dynamo~I really had a nice time with the boys. I took them to the Denver Skate Park, out for pizza, swimming, Trails Skate Park, BBQ at my house, they danced played video games, tried to pierce an ear or a lip (thank goodness I was with them EVERY moment!...not gonna happen on my watch!),then we watched scary movies, then that was it for me, I left them at about 1:00 AM! The next day I made them breakfast, off to the skate park again and then ended the Birthday celebration with Elitches! WHEW, that sounded like a lot now that I read it!!! awww, sometimes I wish I had 10 children...don't know how I would be able to afford to feed them though...those boys ate like monsters!!! It was a lot of fun! AHHH YESSS HELLO TO OCTOBER!!! Dynamo Wednesday will here and gone before you know it!!! It will all be over with and then you can focus on fun times in New Mexico....aaarrrrribah!!! I registered for the Race for the Cure. I do the race in memory of my mother. She died at the age of 40 from breast cancer. good day to all

Shesha~CONGRATS on the baby!!! I just spent the weekend with 10 thirteen year olds (birthday sleepover weekend), I have to admit, I LOVED it!! I wish I had more children...too late for me!

Tina~I have not used the card, but I am meeting a bunch of friendsat Ted Montana's tonight and after looking at their children's menu online, I think I will give it a try tonight. I'll let you know if I do and what happens... DITTO to want2b, shelbi and biggest loser... Happy Friday to all have a powerful weekend! It's my son's 13th birthday, I'll be taking a trip to the Denver Skate park, then the pool, then a BBQ and top it off with tent camping (them not me) in the back yard (weather permitting)!! Whew! I'm exhausted just writing about it!! off to lurke on other threads...LOL

Dynamo~I am happy to hear that your mom is doing well. How long will she in the hospital? You sure do have a lot going on. I'm thinking about ya'! Good job, keep up the excercising! I actually look forward to the gym. I would really love to see the scale move though! IRS in a week...eeewww, I don't envy you there! I am such a terrible bookeeper. I have everything...somewhere in one of the many boxes labeled "TAXES", gosh, I pray that I NEVER get audited!!! I think you will be fine, it will all be over with soon!

Hi Woofay! How awesome, you got to see your bro again!!! Thanks for the compliments, I haven't lost any pounds in such a long time, I am losing in inches though. I really like to see the scale go down but I'll take the inches too. I hope this fill helps. I tried to hide my beer in the picture....awwwww BUSTED!!!
