Hi y'all! I just can't seem to make myself stay out of the kitchen! I was cleaning up in there this morning and putting away some of the stuff I was using to make cookies/candy with and decided to use some of it up! Yup, I made some more. I made some turtle candy, (two kinds) then I made some rum balls. I just didn't want that stuff to go to waste! Dianne - I am glad you took the medicine. I think it is bad long term, but never had much trouble with it short term. I have no idea how many different kinds of cookies/candy I made. I do know I fixed a BIG tray for DH to take in yesterday and I couldn't fit some of everything on it. I have cookies/candy all over the house. But, it was fun making! Lisa - Glad to hear you are feeling better. I think we all have used that chew up spit out method at one time or another. Eileen - Glad to hear the problem with FIL wasn't too bad, or that they at least don't think so. Hopefully he will heal up fast. My Aunt just went back in the hospital again too, it's hard when they live so far away. I wish I lived closer to her, she's my favorite Aunt and she is a gem! Cindy - Freedom at last!:laugh :laugh :laugh That daughter of yours sounds like a sweetheart. She must be very special to think the way she does. Mmmmmm that bread sounds delicious! Ivan - What a beautiful family! I think you should use that for an avatar also. Pat - Awwww, thanks buddy! You made my day! Ah, that story made me laugh! In my PG days, they banded sex 4 weeks prior to delivery! HMMMMM Maybe you'll have a Christmas G-baby! Or, she could have the first New Year's Baby! Beanie - Where are you?????? I know you are out shopping and enjoying your time home. Miss ya! Check in please! Well, going to go get some work done, I need to find something to do besides bake. I have a dinner to go to tonight, so maybe I'll do my nails, and get ready for that!

My doctor told me the bite should be the size of the eraser on a pencil, although I think mine are a little bit bigger than that.

Sorry you had to go throught that, but also glad your smile is back on your face today! Things do get better!

Good luck in whatever you decide to do. I would be a little concerned about someone trying to get my business that bad though.

I tried all last night, never did catch it open.

Glad to hear you both are doing good! :Bunny

Good Luck Trish!

Welcome to LBT! I can't think of a better present to give to yourself!

Good luck, and please keep us posted!

Good Morning! It is raining here today, but we need it so bad that I won't gripe one bit. It is supposed to warm up and get to the 60's by Christmas Eve. I am officially closing the kitchen for baking Cookies and making candy! I just finished up my last thing and I am done with it all! Dianne - You really should take that medicine. You might gain while taking it, but as soon as you stop, it will all come right back off. You certainly don't want to get down here during the holidays. By the way, you have done a great job with your band. Your beginning and after pictures are amazing! Hey, I ate three cookies yesterday too. Eileen - Sorry about the in-laws. Hope it turns out not to be a big thing. Please keep us posted. My prayers are with them and your family. Pat - Have fun at the mall! I don't go near the malls down here at Christmas time. It is a mad house. Our neighbor was mad Saturday because his daughter planned a birthday party for her daughter at the mall. He had to walk 6 blocks to get there. Jan - I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You'll do just fine! It is normal to feel nervous. Please post and let us know how you are doing when you can. Patty - My PCP said he would be very happy with my weight if I would lose 100 pounds. He didn't think I needed to lose more than that. I thought yeah, so would I! So, my goal was 100 pounds. If I never lose another pound, I will be happy, but I probably would like to lose 20-25 pounds more. I more or less want to play it by ear, see how I look at different weights. Cindy - Have fun at the lunch! Seems like Christmas is all celebrated by us eating. I had a party Saturday, a dinner Wednesday, another dinner Friday, and Christmas eve at DB on Saturday. I don't have a chance! Well, going to go get some stuff done that I have neglected. Catch you all later.

Congrats, beautiful pictures! You make a beautiful couple! Congrats on the seat belt too! Great NSV!

Good Morning! Thanks for the compliments on the Cookies, but they are not all that special. I was just tinkering with some that's all. Actually on some I surprised myself on how they turned out! Eileen - Sorry about that cold and sore lip. Hopefully it heals up fast for you. Have fun with the cookies! I have some dough ready to go in the fridge, I guess I best get mine done too. The folks at DH work keeps asking when I am sending in the tray. Hmmmmmm, how much longer should I make them wait? Beanie - Good to see you back here. Glad you had a good time while you had to do all that horrible work. My Nephew and his son was here yesterday, I gave him one of the mice and you should have seen his eyes light up. My Nephew thought they were so cool. I might have to make these on a yearly basis now. Cindy, Ira, Dianne, Patty, Zan, Lisa, Pat, good morning! Catch you all later!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day!

Whoooo Hoooo! Great NSV!

Good Morning Y'all! I feel like crap today, too much fun time last night. I didn't get home till 1:45 a.m. and I am not use to that! Also had too much to drink/eat and that didn't help. I think I will be glad when the holidays are over! I usually don't drink much, but the guy that had the party kept having me taste different booze. Eileen - Hope you feel better! I didn't take any cookies last night, I am taking them over this week. I took some hot stuffed peppers with cheese and bacon around them. They were good, along with all the food they had there that was so good too. Cindy - How special, getting that lapband! No excuses now about checking in with us! Enjoy it! Patty - Sounds like you are a busy bee! When are you leaving? Have fun at D-land. Sherry - Welcome! I haven't heard of a protein powder like that, but I have heard of Crystal Light that comes in packages and you add to a bottle of water. Beanie - Where are you????? Quit lovin on that man of yours and visit with us! I know you missed him, but now it is our turn! Dianne - I nibble on a few cookies too! I just don't go overboard! The cook always has to taste her work doesn't she? Well, going to go get busy! Catch you later!

If I eat too much my left side hurts too. I'm glad to hear it happens to others and not just me! I was beginning to think something was wrong with me!

A lot of people just eat the cereal, no milk. Some people put just enough milk on it to wet it, then some people drink off the milk and eat the cereal last.

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great one!

Good Morning Y'all! It is chilly this morning, makes me want to stay under the covers! We have a Christmas party to go to tonight at the neighbors. It will be lots of fun, I have great neighbors! Beanie - Did you make it home to your own bed???? Eileen - Today is the first day of your vacation, enjoy it! Cindy - Are you making cookies yet? Pictures of those pretty decorated ones please! Pat - What's up today? More shopping/wrapping? Patty - Maybe your beautician can recommend someone for you? Hope you find a good one. Dianne - What kind of puppy are you thinking of getting? Lisa - How you feeling today? Ivan - Are you still working all that time???? Zan - Hey girl, how are you??? Miss your posts! Well, going to go get my day started. Everyone have a great day! If you are going shopping, I wish you luck!

Really cute, thanks for sharing with us.

How cool! Great pictures too!

Beautiful pictures, every one of them!

Congrats to you on that great weight loss and your upcoming marriage!

Hi everyone! Not doing too much today, trying to stay out of the kitchen for a few days. I went shopping this morning, I was just going to window shop, but Penny's had a good sale on and I found a pair of pants I liked. I didn't think they would fit, but when I tried them just to see, not only did they fit me, I loved them! They were a size smaller so I was happy with that! I just couldn't resist then! Lisa - Glad you are feeling a little better. Hey, maybe my mice was a good thing if it makes you want to eat a little something. Eileen - Wow, that is so cool that you get off work the rest of the year! I love vacations like that! Glad you and Beanie had a good time! Beanie - I am glad you enjoyed yourself even if you had to work hard, but I am glad you are coming back to Texas. It just isn't the same without you here every day! Cindy - I baked a ton of sugar cookies, but just can't get in the mood for decorating them. I know I should get it done, but I am more interested in making new things. Patty - Hope you got all your wrapping done today. Pat - How is your wrapping going? Are you finished? Ivan - Hope the ingredients helped your DW. If you have any questions, please let me know. Well, going to go kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet for just a bit. DH will be home soon!
