Good Morning Peeps... Candice -How old is this little girl?? I guess I am lucky I would say most of our office gets along - there is a little back biting but not much - Hope her seeing the quilt makes her understand that you don't hate her... Well it's almost 7 - got up around 6:30 gotta hit the gym in a few on my 1st cup of coffee.. Karla must have slept in this morning - Good :0) Phyl are you guys going to the tamale fest today or tomorrow - I hate that my gf always has her xmas partry this weekend when there is so much more to do - I really wanted to go see the Temptations tonite - plus they have that parade in palm springs and the Tamale fest.. I don't think I will be drinking tonite or staying late - I plan on taking cran rasberry to drink ;0).. Had some fudge last nite - not too much but had some ;0)

Kari really it is slow compared to how much it use to be in the very beginning ;0) - it's just that you don't come and visit much anymore :0).. Karla - Yep I feel like you have been with us for the whole 2.5 yrs - You are a lucky #7 - now we just got to get Steph to come back :0)... Get some sleep it does help ;0).... Sweet dreams

Candice How did your little meeting go..

Yep I felt like I should be doing something - but I didn't feel like doing anything - so I didn't... I am like that - then I have to cram everything into a short period of time ;0) - But heck it's my vacation - I need a day off - well I have had 3 days off - last friday - sunday and today. No one has called or texted so I guess not - they talked about the 19th hole but didn't say time or anything and I haven't asked - it's 7:20 I have eaten (early for me) and I could go to sleep - am thristy and my 1/2 is up I think :0) I doubt if they did call or text I would go - don't feel like getting showered and dressed..

GF HUGS HUGS HUGS !!! Pple don't send cards like they use to - I use to get them - but those days are sorta gone - it's all email and I thought Xmas cards in the mail would be a nice thing - instead of bills and discount stuff that we can't afford anyway.. We all are cutting back - I got most of my gifts at Target Marshall's & Ross - it's not about the cost it's about the thought behind it.. I have an Xmas club savings account - so every Nov I have Xmas $$ I'm like you - I would have left a note too - I did tell my trainer that cuz of the furloughs I might have to quit - so he lowered my fee - he rather lose a little be than all of it :0) so you could have just ordered your fudgesicles ;0) Angel fights bear about their treats - sometime Angel is up on the couch w/me and bear comes by and she will snap at him.. You have friends - You have us - I am so glad Steph brought you to us...

I'm here still in my pj's haven't left the house or done a damn thing all day well I did get the xmas gifts out of the trunk and put in my room - and wrote down addresses - took a 2 hr nap and just fed the dogs and am cooking some spinach to go with the left overs from last night.. coffee sounds good - may go make a cup - it's cold 54 ;0) and a storm is coming in suppose to be 68 tomorrow and then 63 and rain the rest of the week - I will get to wear my boots and sweaters next week and to the xmas party tomorrow nite My dogs are right up under me when pple are here and when we have gone to Joseph's they are under my feet 24/7.. right not they just ate so they are full and sleeping

Quiet nite - is it Charlene who leave for Hawaii 12/5 - I don't even know what date it is - oh just looked at the calendar - it's the 4th :0) - I know the day of the week but date nope :0) that's vacation for you and since we don't write ck's like we use to - who needs the date - at work it pops up when I do email or letter - plus I am looking at a calender every day.. Well I'm still in pj ;0) it's cold 54 anda storm is suppose to be coming = 68 days with weather - I will get to wear my boots and sweaters to work next week ;0) Apples - I haven't had any fudge tosay - will have a little tonite but keeping it in the fridge outside has been a deterrent - so I'm safe :0) I'm cooking my spinach - just have to warm up the rice and fish left over from last night :0) and reading a book - just chilling today :0)

Great - I can't put my 2 cents in on this cuz I still live where I was born - the farthest I have moved is 20 miles to Desert Hot Springs to live at xdh house.. But I guess I can relate cuz my DS now lives 7 hrs away. I miss seeing family more than every few months.. I am like apples would like to see the world and travel - My Uncle and his bro would say oh lets get in the car and see where it takes us and they would be packed in an hour and on the road (they both were merchant marines and would work on ship for 6 months then be off ship for 3-4-5 months) they had the freedom to do that - I would love to be able to do that - but alas I work :0).. Julie Glad you are coming.. Jewel we are going to Orlando in Feb - President weekend.. Apples is getting it together - stay tuned for more info. Glad that you are learning to stick up for you - yes it can come across as being selfish to some but it's called boundaries and having them doesn't make you selfish and IMHO there is nothing wrong with taking care of you!! Well gang I am still in my pj's - all I have done is get the xmas presents out of the trunk and put in my room.. I also had a 2 hr nap a good one slept hard... Well back to the couch - heck I may not be going anywhere tonite - I havent heard from anyone - I am pooped.. I guess I will have to go back to work to get some rest :0)

That was too cute - alot of pple in my office are on happy pills as we call them too from anti depressants to xanxa

Apples - You can make a smart a$$ coment - won't bother me as I can't sing worth crap - I am tone deaf :0) - but my Trainer Idrise & son can sing - so we are going to watch them sing :0) I will and have sang karoke in a group but again I was a little drunk :0) - Won't be drinking tonite - have party tomorrow night plus I have to drive and I sure in the hell don't want to end up in jail ;0) Ok you and me share a condo 2 bedroom condo :0) - I think we will get along fine :0) - Well I think all of us will get along fine :0) I am dragging butt this a.m. on my 2nd cup of coffee and it's not doing the trick -

Good Morning Gang Apples - I am ok with the fudge - no need for disclaimer - I made the stuff - I have to take responsibility for my own actions :wink2:) - Anyway I put the rest in the outside fridge as I don't like cold choc - I know pple do but not me - I had some last night while reading - but that was it - no getting up in the middle of the night eating it all :0) I will be cking out ortho doc next week when I get back to work need to find out what the problem is - my right knee hurts the worse - but the left does have a little pain too.. Well I got to sleep in til 7:45 this morning and would still be a sleep but bear woke me up - today is my last vacation day :0) weekends don't count.. Don't know what I am doing today - may wrap - I am suppose to go to kareoke w/trainer tonite - so may save the getting dress til then Well need another cup of coffee :0) CBL

You and I could share a 2 bedroom since we both are early pple and other stuff :wink2: and I think I saw that there is an outlet nearby :0)

Good Morning Gang I got to sleep in this morning - in fact if bear hadn't woke me up I might still be a sleep.. Phyl - Thanks you are too sweet - dinner was my normal dinner thought you and Earl would love to eat what I eat on a normal night ;0) - I like it :0) enough to eat it for 29 months - I do variations to the fish but - it's my dinner and it's easy.. I was just thinking when I 1st woke up I should have made Earl a little bag to take home - Well it's it the fridge (I don't like cold choc) I had what was on the little plate last night but no more - I wanted more - but like I said I don't like cold choc so I am safe for now :0) I know the curve you are speaking about - I have seen a couple of 1 car accidents there - yep driving too fast You can make horduvers (sp) with the dates - wrap bacon around them - broil them - My Mom use to do that when they entertained ;0) - I bet your Canadian friends will love them. Ok gang we need to exchange Addresses for Xmas cards and dog bones - & I want the black/white cookie ;0)... I will send out an email - and we can give do a card exchange ;0) Candice - Your letter was fine really - but I have always been told not to send stuff when you are in a huff - I have written many of them - just writing them can be enough for me - I usually don't send them - I am not as diplomatic as you - I have to be really careful or I would be fired and I can't do retirement yet :0) - I need my health insurance and I need to be able to shop ;0) Karla - I picked needy ones then got over that and picked a controling one - thought I was making a good choice - he didn't do drug/alcohol - owned his own house and had his own car (all prior bf had nothing and usually a drug issue) and it still wasn't a good choice - he was a control freak ;0) had great qualities too - he did take care of me like earl does phyl but the other stuff like being jealous of my kids - giving me crap for being 5 min late from work or hanging w/gf - just was too much for me.. This yr when pulling out my xmas decorations - I had a box of like oldtime decorations - for the last 5 yrs my tree was done in a diff color - but this yr felt like the color stuff - I miss the tinsel though.. There was one xmas in 98 where I didn't decorate at all.. Well need another cup of coffee - don't know what I am going to do today - suppose to go karakoe w/my trainer tonite - I may just start wrapping - don't feel like getting dress right now and won't be going to the gym - knee is giving me problems CBL

Jackie - Hugs Hugs Hugs - Seeing a Counselor is GREAT!! And I agree if you aren't ready then don't do it - but with the help of counseling you will get there and understand why you choose needy men.. Yes you will get thru it and be a better person for it - This is what I mean about growing up - you are still in your 30's and this is your life experience and when you get to be my age & done the counseling thing you will be as smart as me lol lol... Gf in my 30's I was still making mistakes - made them in my 40's and all those mistakes I have learned from and have made me the person I am today. That's not to say I won't make any more as life goes on - but I think I got a pretty good handle on what I want from life and how I want to be treated.. In my case - I am sick & tired of caring for others - It's my time - But again I spent 40 yrs of taking care of others You know we are always here for you - Hugs Candice - Hugs on you meeting - wait to send the letter re-read it tomorrow - Nothing wrong with it - but it's best to re-read stuff after you have been upset - I sure and the hell don't see you as a mean person - I hate victims :0) Karla - Your food wasn't that bad 1/2 a choc bar not 10 - that in its self is a great thing :0) - I don't know what to tell you about the parents - I would tell them I have 165 kids and I can't respond to every single one of these parents - They need to log on and ck things out - they need to stay on top of their kids.. I wish you were closer - we could have great adult time :0) Had a great time w/Phyl & Earl and they enjoyed my dinner :0) Here our Picture

Here's Pictures of My Desert - 4 wheeling w/Uncle yesterday

Well, Phyl & Earl just left a little bit ago - We had a great time as usual - I just love hanging w/them - they are so happy and upbeat !!! Dinner was great - they enjoyed my catfish, rice and spinach. I wanted them to see what I have eaten for the last 29 months - my fav dinner ;0) Here's a few pics Apples - Fudge was great !!! I had one tiny piece and it is very rich - I have bagged it up and put it in the outside fridge - I left a couple pieces for later - I may have to end up throwing the rest away :0) can I freeze it ?? Jewel - We are here for you... Your DH maybe be afraid of you losing weight - there are pple like that - This is your life and you will make the best decision for you - Remember YOU DO DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY - THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE - Hugs Hugs Hugs.. Julie - be careful girl - I don't know when I will wrap gifts maybe next weekend or may do some tomorrow I have no great plans for tomorrow - except go to see my trainer Karaoke tomorrow nite - Nails & Xmas Party Saturday.. Apples - President Weekend is fine with me - is Orlando by the beach - I want beach :0)... I think I was thinking about taking off thru - that would give us all day Fri & Sat and I would fly home Sunday - Since I smoke - single room for me and I am an early riser.. Laura - you DS is just the cutest - I just want to hug that little boy - and yes when we look back at pic's it's shocking to see how far we have come..

Dee - if insurance covered the band - then it should cover any issues with it.. Jewel - Hugs on the MIL issues I have eaten some sort of starch with dinner every single night (usually 1/2 c of rice) for the last 29 months - and I have lost 112 lbs (did 105 in 1 yr) - I believe in a balanced healthy eating plan - I limit my starches - for breakfast and lunch - lunch is usually always a protein & veggie - I basically follow a WW type eating plan - I use to eat really high fat and tons of sugar - those 2 things have been greatly decreased - I eat mostly sf for the most part.. This is about your health - it is about you and no one else - this is your life - not theirs and you deserve to have a healthy and long life and staying obese is just going to kill you.. Apples is a lot more diplomatic than me :0) - So I would follow her advice - have your dh go with you - so that he understand this is only a tool - it's not going to lose the weight for you or make your food choices How much longer to do you have to live with them - I love my DIL BUT I couldn't live with them :0) Yep - that will work - I have Cheri & Julie's so far - I already have yours and Charlene and I thought I had Great's but I can't find it :0).. I know she will have her camera - and I have mine too :0) I have made your fudge both white choc & reg choc - hordourves (sp) are made - wine is chilling - and dinner will only take 20 mintues and it's all ready to start I am going to have to ck the online deals - they are usually $19.99 or $17.99 Great - I love the target pants boot cut and like I said I wear them not just for exercise - I wear the long ones (really short) in the winter and capri's in the summer Well Phyls at the gate - so cbl :0)

WTG PHYL !!! You Rock !! Yes - Wine in the fridge - the hordourvers (sp) are made along with 2 kinds of fudge (apples recipe) white & choc which is in the fridge. She won't be reading this cuz she's pm her way here - she doesn't know what's for dinner !!! My fav dinner - She's going to get to try it - Yes ladies - Fish, Rice, Spinach :0) Will ck back later - I won't be drinking tonite, saving it for Saturday and my Xmas party..

Laura Buy a white t-shirt and some black dye !!! WhaLa - Blk t-shirt Since Andrew went to Catholic school - I had to make Shepard costumes - A good thing about going to a private school like that they CAN talk about Jesus - God & Holy Ghost (I'm old school I still say ghost instead of spirit ;0)... Sorry about the cold - get some dayquil - it will give you the pep you need and dry up the nose at the same time.. Apple - those are the pants I get too :0)... I wear then on the weekends and traveling too - comfy Well showered, makeup on - hair almost done - now need to get dressed ;0)

Scale this a.m. 141.5 :0) Yea !!! Get to eat fudge :0)

Great Khol's is good for exercise stuff - never got any from Penny's - I get my yoga pants either from Target or Marshall's - but again it's not 15 degree outside - but you could wear tights with them.. I am on a wireless system - so I understand it to a degree (enough to be dangerous) and I set it up myself (well with a little help of linksystem and it wasn't picking up my ips address - this is how you connect - i think) My Computer is in what was suppose to be a dinning room ibut it's my office (I have no need for formal dinning room) there is no phone or cable jack in here - so have a linksystem my internet is my cable company the moden is in GS room and so is the wireless stuff - I have a little usb adapter which I plug in to my computer or laptop - depending on what i am using. I need to get dressed and get my shopping done - DIL called last night and wants me to p/u a tool box for DS for Xmas since she can't hide anything for him ;0)

Julie - I am the same way about pictures - I did take a couple yesterday while we were out in the desert. Forgot on Thanksgiving ;o(... I don't put presents under the tree till Xmas eve after kids have gone to bed - cause Santa brings them - heck I remember the day - we went to my Dad's for Xmas eve - wouldn't get home til 11 or 12 and I would be up wrapping til 3 ;0). But since I don't have the little one til Xmas morning anyway - I think I will start sooner - cuz that's the thing when you get older - the back & legs start hurting when you have been sitting on the floor for hours wrapping . Even to this day - all the presents under my tree say they are from Santa - I do the gift tags on the computer For the longest - Brooke thought I was Santa cuz I was there every Christmas wearing my Santa hat :sad:

Yes me too (scale) then we will be ok w/our decadent dessert :0) I think I am going to have a 3rd cup of coffee :0)

Julie Hope you got a good nite sleep.. I don't know how you deal with Mimi everyday - heck my 5 yr old wears me out - I love being with her but I don't know about every day :0)... Dee - I agree w/Apples 100% I budget my calories for when I am the hungriest which is nite time for me - You gotta take what you have and make it work for you.. I eat lite for breakfast usually Plus I eat at work - so it's something tote able Linda you are in our prayer - you gotta give the meds time to work - sure hope they start soon - Good luck on your mamo they are a little nerve racking for me - since twice they have found stuff which turns out to be nothing - but still nerve racking.. Apples - I would love going back to school - I never got to college - did take upper baccalaureate classes for my AU (Associate in Underwriting) and CPIW (Certified Professional Insurance Woman) for you non Insurance pple ;0) But have not had formal college - If I every get to retire - that's one of my plans - going back to school for fun :0) Hugs on the cold - I gotta say I love our winter weather here in the desert - I think the news said low 70's today and high 60's this weekend.. Bee wings - I was wondering what that was - I gotta say that I think I need some new Xmas decorations - not to happy with how the house looks - looks like I a missing something - Andrew said no - and since I put the stuff up last year - I knew where it was this yr - but not really satisfied with looks - May go to Micheal's (craft store) this morning.. Well today is cleaning - food shopping and seeing Phyl & DH this afternoon - I love it when she's here.. Well I need another cup of coffee this a.m. didn't get to sleep til after 11:30 and up at 6 am dragging butt a bit - but another cup should get me going :0) CBL

Ya that was what SHOCKED ME !! We have to give the other Phyl a name - one gf name is Cindy - her alter-ego is LiL Put Karla see smilies - maybe she said it without really saying its :0) Karla - I am into nativity scenes myself - when I was a kid it was my job to set it up - I have a big Costco one I got 10 yrs ago - I put it infront of my fireplace.. Last nite I thought the tree looked good - but this morning it needs more ornaments - then only thing I really miss about not having a real tree is the tinsel - That too was my job as a kid - my Mom taught me to put it on a few pieces at a time ;0) My X and I painted a village pple ceraminc's about 14 yrs ago and I have added a few store bought items - I love that too.. Those kind of things (non add kid) are the things I don't think I could deal with. I would love to take a real personality test to see what job I am really cut out for - I know it's not customer service ;0) - I think I took some sort a long time ago - advertising or something like that - something that works my brain and isn't paper pushing or dealing with pple. Linda (0ur) thinks I am a very compassion person and I most likely am to a fault - I feel bad for my sb brad cuz he doesn't have any clothes - but then I hear what he spends his $$ on - and I shouldn't - but I still do. I got him some really cheap/clearance clothes - I can be an enabler myself.. Plus I feel really sorry for the kid - even though he's 52 and hasn't grown up and has no one but me (he was an only child). He's been sorta hanging w/my Uncle (this is my mom's bro) and I think it's good for him - My Uncle is like 64 and has done just about everything in life - Airforce - to being in a Mex Prison for 2 yrs - to being a Captain in the Merchant Marines - He really has live life and is well read - a very intelligent man with the life experience to go along with it.. Plus I love talking to him about family - I think it's great to get to know your family once you are a grownup - My Uncle Bobby died (my Mom's other bro) - hell I don't remember when - but he's another person I would love to talk to as a grown up - I knew him as a kid and in my 20's but as we all know we are diff pple and appreciate more as we get older.. My Aunt Valerie to - My uncle says I look like her - but I don't think facially I do - but my stature (petite) I don't have any pic's of her.. Well up sorta early this a.m. 6 - didn't go to sleep til after 11:30 went to bed about 10 but couldn't go to sleep. Not going to the gym today - Need to shop for dinner and finish cleaning the house and maybe do some bills for bro's estate. I am going to need more than 1 cup of coffee this morning.. Phyl & Earl are coming over at 3 today :0) - I'm such a lucky girl :0) I am looking forward to it.. Food was excellent yesterday - Omelet & toast (lite) for dinner w/Habenro cheese ;0) popcorn and 1 cup ice cream.. I know not healthy but sometime I love it when I don't eat - but I know today I am making a dessert that I got from my other thread (fudge) so I will end up making up for yesterday :0)... Dinner will be healthy - but dessert will be decadent Candice - How's Bridget & how did the meeting go??
