Good morning. We are moving into a lease HOUSE. That is right, house, not apt, not townouse, not duplex, not apartment....a house. Here is the sticky part. I do not know what house yet. lol Instead of signing a new year lease here we turned in our 60 day notice and I am working with a realtor to find a home to move into. There are lots of nice prospects. The one I REALLY want is in a super nice neighborhood and our back yard is a Golf Course. :scared2: Love it! I will just have to keep my fingers crossed that it is still available next month. Laura-Good luck today with your test! Suzanne-isn't today your dr visit? Jenn-get your skinny booty in here and talk! :thumbup: Hello all my other friends. Have a great day!

wait...i HAVE to say it.... so, it was a TEAM effort?!

balls behind your ears?:ohmy: No comment.....

Kat-what kind of premedication? Are margaritas involved? Jolly-sounds you are the B-M queen! haha My mom is too. She always knows the answers!

mornin' friends... Suz-10 degrees? :ohmy: OMG Bed is the best place! Jenn-have you tried to take something for your pains? i wish I were getting a fill! I will be there with you in spirit. :thumbup: Laura-think postive. You will PASS! I am gonna finish my right now while I surf the net then I may take a nap! Have a great day!

Good morning...just checking in. The kids are getting ready for school, I am cramping (tmi, I know). I will post again later. Kat-I am so glad for you that Rick is going to be home for Christmas! Have a good day everyone...I am going to grab a heating pad & go back to bed.

:woot: I am SO excited for you! Please stay in touch with us. Maybe you can let some of newly banded excitement trickle here to us! This is the beginning of your lifelong journey. It will not always be easy. Just remember the band is a tool to help you accomplish your goals, not a cure. It still takes alot of will power. You are going to do GREAT! We are all so happy for you!:w00t: Oh My..I love cabbage...hmmm, maybe I'll make some today :thumbup: Are you SERIOUS! :wow: oooohh, stay warm! hey girl...your fill will do you lots of good I think. You are doing so well sista! You have been my encouragement. Go get you pills & fill (haha, sounds cute) and you will be right back on track. (((hugs))) So, i made a family christmas video and am going to put it on youtube & facebook. Cute cute! I will post the link when I am done :woot: I am staying away from the scale this morning because I feel bloated. Does chocolate chip cookies make you retain water? lol :tongue2: Have a great day everyone. I will be back later. How bout those Saints? :woot:

Is that what I smell? yummmm :thumbup:

:thumbup: :wow: :woot: How is that for Water retention?! I now only have five more to go to get back to what my ticker says! How is everyone today?! I am bringing Macy to a b-day party @ McDonalds today (God give me strength). Other than that, I am just going to run to the grocery store for a few items then come back home and relax. Hope you all have a very relaxing WARM peaceful day. Jenn-how was the party?

:tongue2: well?....inquiry minds (nosey people) want to know. What did DS do? :w00t:

Isn't people watching the BEST? People never cease to amaze me. LOL

I like small towns too... Kat, yours sounds so quaint. LOVE IT! Suzanne-you made me want some hot chocolate :w00t:

Good morning friends! Suzanne-congrats on the 27 years! And to the SAME MAN! That is an accomplishment in itself! :wink: (((hugs))) Cindy-I wish there wouldn't have been so much rain & sleet that way the snow would haved stuck to the ground, but, we will take what we can get! Kat-your pizza post made my stomach growl. lol You have not had snow yet? Amazing! Jennifer-you are going to be social? GO YOU! LOL :tt2: I love to tease you. Nope, no plans for the weekend really. I need to bring macy to get a present for a b-day party she is going to tomorrow. Other than that, that is it. I am going to try like hell not to eat the cookies the girls are going to bake later...:wink2: Jolly-we have so many houses around here that still have lights galore. I will record some and post it on youtube :wink2: You are gonna do fantastic on the test this time! We will all hold hands (via the internet) and pray for you on thursday! Good new for me...I am losing weight again. :biggrin: The scale shows -3 but since I didnt weigh at Thanksgiving I am sure it is probably more like -5 or -6. AND...it is while I am retaining water because tom is supposed to be here this weekend. I just think that is dandy GO ME! Just think, if I REALLY applied myself more, it would be even more of a loss than that! Have a great day ladies...stay warm.

SEE??!! Lookie what we got over here in SE Texas!!! This is a REALLY big deal to us down here! :wink2: Can you see it? lol

1:05 AM... just running through... Kat-that sucks tat Rick has to leave for so long before Christmas. I would only be a hinderence while baking, so I can;t come help you! lol :w00t:

Where do I begin. GO NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!! Macy had a visit the tooth fairy last night. I pulled her 2nd tooth ever last night. Drama...drama...drama. lol We have been been hem-hawing around trying to decide if we are going to resign our lease for another year. I am NOT going to (or dont want to) move into another apt or townhouse. I want to lease a house. I am tired of living with people up my butt all the time. So, after lots of talking between dh and I, we went ahead and gave our notice of intent to vacate in 60 days. There are so many places available now that I would love to rent but we need to ride out our lease. God will see fit that we get a good place. :w00t: maybe one of those I like will still be available in January. OK, so you all know by now I live in the Houston area. It is supposed to SNOW here tomorrow evening. OMG...everyone is so excited. I hope it really happens! I guess I am going to have to MAKE myself get on the scales just to keep me honest. lol I am not making holiday treats for my family & friends either this year. I know I am not in a good place in my brain to have that kind of evil in my home. It would last like a snowball in hell. It would be self sabatoge at its finest. I went to my dr office with dh yesterday. To make a long story sort, his wife (47) passed away the Tuesday before Thanksgiving unexpectely. (she was also a dr). Yesterday was my dr first day back to work. I get really emotional when I know someone is in pain so I was not going to say anything to him because I did not want to cry in front of him. Well, he came in the room and omg...he looked like...the life had been taken from him. Just sadness. After we talked aboout a few things dr patient wise, I got up and walked to him and reached out to hug him and something happened that I was not expecting...he grabbed me and hugged me so tight and so long...I could *feel* his pain. I told him, "I am so sorry for your loss". He said "it was so unexpected". I still do not know what happened and all the patients were told not to ask to allow him his privacy. The newspaper did not say either. Anyway, when dh and I got outside, I fell apart. I can only imagine the pain he is in. Please pray for Dr. Johnston and his 2 daughters. Everyone have a great night and I will talk to you all in the morning.

Suzanne-yes, e-mail me please. And heck yes, you are in my prayers sista!

Good morning friends~ Kat-well my hibernating plans did not work out. Errands we had to do that took way too long. Then before we knew it we had to go get the girls from school. But, today looks promising for a nap. My mom tried to take a pic of us 4 kids on the couch. Ages 2, 6, 8 & 10. LOL, she took about 5 or 6 pictures and she finally gave up. So, best of luck to you! I have been re-teaching myself to sew. It has been since high school. So far, so good. My mom used to be a seamstress when I was little. She had lots of customers. She did an entire wedding once. She is quite good! I hope it runs in the family. Laura-did you get to watch the bigest loser? Dont forget to vote! Who would you like to see win? I would love for almost any of them to win, so I am happy. Suz-Im sorry that your nephew is acting the way he is. I know how tough it is. How was the Christmas tree lighting? I'll bet your neice loved it! Irene-so what do those letters stand for young lady? lol Yes, curiosity kills the cat. MEOW :nono:. I gained about 7 (or more). You know what, we have the same struggles but you are doing fantastic. Hold your head high, ok?! Jenn-I am so sorry that you are sick and sad. :smile2: ((((hugs)))) sista! Day 3 of trying to be a good girl. I havent weighed yet. I am still too scared. So, one morning I will wake up and feel lighter and think, this is the day I need to weigh. When that day comes, I will let ya'll know. Until then, I am doing damage control. Pray for me please. Today my dad would have turned 76. I miss him so much. Have you ever noticed that people on TV never lock their doors when they leave the house? Just a random thought. :tongue2: Have a fantastic day ladies.

Good morning ladies~Day 1 back on the wagon is complete It is a rainy cold morning and after dh brings the girls to school we are gonna go back to bed and hibernate. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day. PS...Laura, thanks for the advice!

oh...I forgot....my tree is UP & DECORATED :confused:

Good morning ladies~ Laura-thanks for the link to the IRS. Kat-I could feel the disgust in your 'voice' when I read your post about DS and DIL. I have to admit, I laughed but only because every family has that one or 2 family members that can really rain on the event. I know that you and ds will get all of it resolved. Pull rank. I would! As far as the CS thing...when dsd mved in we quit paying. she has a child, we have a child, so her idea was to call it a wash. That is why we have to hire a lawyer when we get taxes. We are protecting ourselves. OH, another thing...we NEVER (according to the court papers from the divorce) get to claim either child. That is what Frank agreed to, he had no lawyer representing him How is that for getting screwed? Jenn-I am there with you in spirit. I am so excited for you today! Suzanne-way to go for starting WW today! That is awesome! Let me know how you like it. OK, so today I am back on the wagon. I am not going to weigh because right now I know about what I weigh and i am not going to depress myself. I am more interested in where I am going...not wheren I came from. Only positive thoughts. Depression (the devil) can get hold of me and not let go. I am not going to allow that to happen this time. SO, no official weigh in. I know I need to lose about 10-15 pounds to get back to what this ticker says. That is my focus...where I am going. :confused: Like Miley Cyrus says in her song....it is The Climb that is important. Have a great day everyone! *smooches*

Good morning everyone! You have all posted so much since I have that I will just play this post by ear. Cindy-you sound like you had a ball and your dd DOES look like you. Talking about PS makes me sad knowing I will prob never get to have it so, I try to avoid the subject, LOL. Jenn-yes I got the vast majority of my shopping done. I am proud. I have never accomplished so much so soon before. dsd and I went shopping together on Friday and we had a blast. Bonding time. We went to see New Moon too. Good times!! I'll bet you are excited/nervous about tomorrow! You are gonna do GREAT! Suzanne-I hope you get to find out your results tomorrow. Waiting can be torturous. I will pray for you! Let us kow as soon as you hear. Text me. lol Irene-good thing I see you on FB... :tt2: How are you doing? Laura-I dont know what I would do about your mil clothes. I really have no clue. I think that I would let her have her clothes. They make her happy. Everyone else doesn't have to like it. If you get the chance, tell the folks that work there that she would not wear new things. People are more understanding than we think. Everyone knows that elderly people can be cantankerous. lol Kat-I am so glad you are decorating for Christmas! I am going to put up my tree today when dd and dsd get home. I am SO excited! I love arts and crafts. Especially when I have the extra money! I could go nuts! OK, new ex-wife in law drama. Do you know she has the nerve to TELL my husband that she is claming dsd on her taxes? Uh, I have news for her...I'll bet I can file before her. LOL We will half it with her but she is not getting all of it...I have news for her! Dsd has lived with us for just 2 weeks shy of half a year. Since dsd was with her mom the 6 months and 2 weeks, she considers that the majority and so she is claiming her? NOT!! I guess what is pissing me ff the most is that dh will not stand up to her and demand half...he told ME to call her. I said "I shouldn't HAVE to call her." Does it EVER end? BUT, on a brighter note...we had a fantastic holiday. I am fat and sassy :confused: but all the fun and games (eating whatever, whenever) is coming to an end tomorrow morning. DH is off and the kids are back in school and we are hitting the gym again. I am excited. Have a great day everyone!

I shopped til I dropped. :Yawn: I will post a nice long post in the morning. As for now.... nite nite all! Oh, one more thing... oink is a good one but MOOOO is more how I feel! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!! gobble gobble gobble I am thankful for all my homies in here :wink: Hope you all have a fantastic holiday. My house smells sinful. Tomorrow is back on the wagon day but for today...Katy bar the door! :frown: I have so much to do. I need to finish this cake, bake a corn casserole, make a green bean casserole...is there a casserole theme going on? lol Anyway, then I need to pack macys suitcase because she is staying with my family until Saturday :thumbup:. Get the kiddos ready and pack the car. The hour and a half drive there will be the calmest part of the day! Gotta run, my oven is about to BEEP! Love ya'll!
