Good morning ladies! Suzanne-dsd knows how to bake (a little too well, lol) and we DID go shopping yesterday so...great minds think alike. You and I were on the same page :confused: Thanks for that Paula Deen page. It does look like what Kat is talking about and I am gonna try the toffee one probably. Kat-luckily, the guy doesnt go to school with her. He goes to her old school. She is much better today. Thank goodness :ohmy: Have a good day and I will check back in later. Have to run to the store to get more ingredients I need. :redface:

Good morning friends :thumbup: Well, it is gloom and doom over here. I have a 15 year old that just realized her boyfriend isnt her boyfriend anymore. How long should someone grieve over someone that was their boyfriend for about 9 days? you know how one depressed person in the house can ruin it for everyone? I do not know what to do. I wanna make her stay in her room so it doesnt bring the rest of us down but...i dunno. I know it is a huge bummer for her tender little feelings. UGH. Have a great day everyone! Take care of yourselves!

Hi ladies! Jenn- :woot: WAY TO GO!! I am SO excited for you. I am so proud of how well you are doing working your band! :thumbup: Kat-I am sorry that Rick is so sick! That SUCKS! I will pray hard that they can take care of his nose with no trouble! Suzanne-has it been a year already that your friend passed away. I remember when you were going through that pain! My goodness, this past year has gone by so quickly! Hey..I wanna go to Harrahs for Thanksgiving. DH wants to go too! lol Goodnight friends :Yawn:

Hi Cari & Michelle...good to see you again! :biggrin: Kat-that is a sad story about the family that passed away. :biggrin: Jenn-the interview is today? Gosh, I am so forgetful! Let me know your day goes! I will keep my fingers crossed. Suzanne-did the ice cream make it through the night? Mine didn't. Boo. I am so glad that dh is off for the next couple of days. He goes back on nights the day before Thanksgiving, so he will not be able to with us to my sisters house. I will bring him lots of leftovers though. Have a great day ladies!

Well, thanks for the well wishes BUT...no go on the house. The owner must be smoking crack. He wants an obscene amount of money for a down payment and with Christmas around the corner we just do not wanna put ourselves in a financial bind. I believe in what is meant to be, will be. We will see what happens after Christmas! I sure love that house though! Have a great day everyone.

Kat-I do not like spiders at all! I lol at your story cuz I can see you running around screaming! lmao! Jenn-congrats on the job! Drink one for me!! Suzanne-I cracked up when you asked Kat what she named the spider. Cute :thumbup: Dont work too hard! Hi everyone-keep your fingers crossed and say a big prayer for me! We found a house that is lease with an option to buy. I LOVE IT! We are waiting to hear if the owner will make a deal with us. PRAY! Here is a pic of the house :frown: Have a great day everyone!

Good morning ladies!! Sorry about my absence yesterday...I am just kind of down and do not wanna drag you all down with me. I cant get back to 229.5 to save my soul. Its not fluid...I guess I need to try something different to shake things up. Kat-Macy is so excited about Thanksgiving/Christmas is isn't even funny! She wants a scooter and a bike and everything she sees on TV...Moxie Girls, ZhuZhu pets. I got lucky with the ZhuZhus, I heard they were going to be THE thing a couple of months ago and got lucky and got 4 of them AND some accessories :bored: Kinsey will be...4? Donna-congrats on your approval! I agree with the others...stick around and post with us! We have old & new bandsters. We would love for you to chat with us! Jenn-You like military guys? :tt1: I wanna put my tree up after Thanksgiving too. I just do not know where I am going to put it. Gosh I wish I had my own home. Maybe one day Irene-you are awesome! You have done a tremendous job! I am so proud of you! Suzanne-when is the cat scan? That is a good thing to hear about 3 years passing...you should be very positive! I will continue to pray for great things! (((hugs))) -2 by Dec 21st...only if you try really hard! lol....I think you have that locked up! No prob! Tweety-good to see you again! How are ya? I love the coupon game. Now that I am a stay at home mom I do not really have anything to challenge my brain. Coupons do Laura-how is mil? How are you? Cindy-you still here? When do you leave for Florida? Michelle-how are you? Hope you aren't still sick! Do you have lots of snow? Hi to everyone else! I need to bring dsd to school. I will see ya'll good folks later

I promised to be back in so here I am. I am exhausted. Kat-you sounded happy in your post! I love that! Irene-sounds like a good thing you got going! I am going to weigh in the morning...pray for me! Jenn-you summons me here then you haul as*? I dont think so girlie! lol :thumbup: How are ya? Laura-you certainly do know your stuff coupon wise. I am just really getting into it, but it is like a challenge...I love it! I am starving right now, but I need to get macy to bed. I hope I make it to my room without detouring to the kitchen! Goodnight friends Suzanne...did you work today? I do not even remember what I read. Sure has been a long day! lol

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been gone for a day or 2. I have been SO busy! Running here, running there, doing this, doing that, yada yada yada. lol :redface: Today isnt much better but I saw the worries and threats (Jenn, lol) and I figured I better post. :w00t: I am about to go shower and get dressed to go eat lunch with dd at her school. I have never done that and she is SO excited! Yesterday I had errands to run a house to clean then when I got the kids from school I had to go to the mall and let dsd get some 'business clothes' for a field trip she has tomorrow. Spent money I didnt have. Ugh. Awww, man, I just remembered I need to get some hem tape from walmart just now....crapola...one more thing I have to do. See what I mean?! I am starting to remind myself of one of ya'll that are busy all the time! :smile2: I am the busiest non working person I know. Whew. I have been wanting to see if I can reteach myself to sew and I can not even sit down long enough to do that! On the food front...I am going to weigh tomorrow, I am at least wanting to be what I was a week or so ago. I will take the same, just not more! Especially considering some of the junk I ate last weekend! Jenn & Irene-you both are inspiring me by reading your ast few posts! I am gonna join you on the band wagon...but MY way. No sugar. OK, gotta run go shower and get my butt in gear... I will be back later today. I promise. :tt1:

Good morning ladies~ I am so ready for today. Peace, & quiet. DH is @ work and the kids will be at school! :w00t: I am going to sit here and listen to the quiet! lol My sinuses have been horrible for the past few days. My dr prescribed me some allergy meds that the insurance doesnt pay for so now we have to wait and see if they can get us something else. I gotta run so I can get macy ready. I am gonna web surf later for coupons

Coupons? Did someone say coupons? I am new in the coupon world but I saved 25 bucks on our grocery bill today and felt like I had conquered the world! I am SO proud of myself. Any hints on where I can get some would be greatly appreciated. I already use coupons.com but that is it. Any advice? Kat-GOOD FOR YOU!! I know how relieved you are! Congrats to you! :tt2: Hi everyone! I have been so busy the past few days I have really neglected the homeless DH starts days tomorrow so I will have some peace & quiet. I will talk to you all in the morning! :biggrin:

Good morning everyone! Brenday :biggrin: Good to see you again! Suz-keep us posted. I will say big prayers for you, k? Dont worry. Jen-map? Mt? Hike? Did I read that right? YOU GO GIRL! Have a great day everyone! I will check in after all of the errands. Shopping, booster shot for dsd, pay bills...fun fun fun.

Hi again Justiceaim1.... Welcome back Kat!! I am so tired after being on the road. Right now I am about to give macy a bath so I need to run but I promise to do a nice long post in the morning! Love ya'll!!

OH....Subway....that is what we can do and I will be able to be a good girl today :wink2: I am gonna start cutting out sugar again...GO ME!

Good morning to you, good morning to you, good morning dear homegirls....good morning to you! :lol2: I crack myself up! Thanks for all the compliments...you all are gonna make me blush! My moms lunch/party was a hit! I was able to suprise her on one thing...I was able to get her sister there and that REALLY surprised her! It was a great time. I ate a few bites of things I shouldn't and then polished the night off with Ice Cream so...today I start over! She (mom) looks fantastic too! She is having to follow a strict diabetic diet and she is 3 pounds away from onederland. I am SO jealous! :tongue2: lol She has really worked hard to lose the weight she has lost. Her big moment is right around the corner. I am so excited for her. I know the feeling (and will know it again). When we came home we were -1 child. My six year old convinced her mawmaw & pop that she needed to spend the night, lol. So today we have to go back over there to get her. It is about 75 minutes one way. But I dont mind. I made my mom and Gene a facebook page. Mom did not think she would like it but I knew she would. :wink2: Cool Mom. Have a great day everyone! I will post later this afternoon/evening when we get back. We have NO groceries in the house but we just decided we are waiting until tomorrow when the girls are at school to do it. That means....fast food today?! :yikes: I will just be careful. Gotta run :bolt:

Here is my new do~OMG, I have a pointy chin! :thumbup:

Hi there! We LOVE when new people post! How hve you been doing since banded? Thanks for the kudos for me quitting the cigs. The hardest part was the weight I gained but the band is helping me (slowly but surely) take it back off! Please stick around and talk to us! We have lots of nice folks in here. If you ever have any questions, just shout! Best of luck to you on your journey! Hey homies :lol2: I am SO tired but I have to go get my dsd from her moms house. She just sent me a text saying she is ready for me to come get her. My mom turned 70 today and we are going to bring her to lunch tomorrow. the whole family will be there. It was supposed to be a surprise, but she ruined that by knowing us too well and she figured it out! lol Have a great night friends! :woot:

Good morning everyone. I will be back to post. I am just running through right now.

My GOSH, where did the day go? It is a total blur. Jenn-(((hugs))) wish I were there to sit and have a drink and talk. Wouldn't that be the BEST?! Cindy-wow, that is kinda high but since dd is 6 she would LOVE Disney. I hope ya'll have a fantastic time! Laura-the blanket sounds heavenly! It really does! Suzanne??? where are you? Irene-did I read somewhere that you are going out of town or something or did I just dream it? Goodnight everyone...gotta get macy ann to bed. :thumbup:

I have never been to either one! How long does it take to cover Disney? I know dd (I) would love it! :biggrin: Jenn-I am not going to get on the scales until tomorrow or Satuday. I know I am retaining fluid, I just hope its 5 pounds worth! Suz-believe it or not, I do not like drama either . Hard to believe, right? lol but I really don't. I like for things to go smoothly. That is why I prefer to work with men instead of women. Hi homies :wink2: I am back on track again, doing what I should do food wise. I got more exercise than normal yesterday, so thats a plus. Friday is my moms 70th b-day so saturday we (my whole family) is getting together to bring her to dinner. Was supposed to be a surprise, but she knows me so well that she figured it out. I swear that woman is psychic . She has been able to read me like a book my entire life and she can do it over the phone too. Kind of creepy actually, LOL. Have a great day everyone....(((hugs))) Irene-did you exercise for me? :lol2:

Jenn-Sunk into a Funk...you're a poet and didn't know-it :biggrin: You will be FANTASTIC!! Cut yourself some slack! Suzanne-you are one of a kind. If I were a boss I wuld want a team of YOUs to work for me

Yep, I watched it and could not believe it!

Good morning homies :tongue_smilie: Heres hoping the 5 pounds I have gained is water weight Michelle-now *that* is when you really know you look different...when someone doesn't recognize you! Love it! Suz-i slept great!! Thanks! You know as far as the liquid diet goes, I am great too until about 1 or 2, then Katy bar the door! It takes loads of restraint for me to pull it off! Laura-how are you? How is MIL? Cindy-Florida for Thanksgiving sounds heavenly! What part of Florida are you going to? I love Destin & Ft Walton Beach. I am so sorry about your mom. That has to be tough to handle. Irene-question...why did you end your post with a J when your name is Irene? Inquiry minds wanna know :smile: Ya know, you and Jenn exercise so much that I feel like I don't have to. I have an idea. Since you do not remembered what you weighed that day, just pretend it was 5 pounds more than what you weigh right now and fight to lose it just so you will be even?! That might work? Jenn-yeah, I read about how much you ate this past weekend. Reminded me of ME, lol. But, that is over now...on to a new day and new challenges. I was gonna tell you something and now I can't remember what it is...I hate when that happens. Let me think.....OH yeah, as far as the TT thing goes...I really thik that is one of the reasons I started gaining again. I got SO depressed when I realized I was not going to be able to get it done and finish this thing. Now looking back, I wish I could have talked about it, but I kept it all in and just started eating again. This time, I know whatI am facing. I jusst have to keep it in my mind that I WILL have it done one day. Even if I am 80 years years old, I will. I have backslid a few days because it is hard not to get back in a funk over what I have done to myself. I need to try not to dwell on it but it is hard. That is one reason I have been quiet. You know, me being quiet, something is going on and it normally is NOT good. Thank you for recognizing it and calling me out! LOL Love you! It has really been beautiful weather here too. Now if I can separate my bootie from the couch I will have it made! lol Have a great day everyone! TTYL....

Wow, so much to say about some of the posts I have read...I will have to postpone it until the morning. DD is WAY ready to go to bed. :smile: I will see you homies in the morning :tongue_smilie: LOVE your hair Michelle!!!

Hi Ladies (homies, as Irene says, lol, cute) Jenn-I think I am in a funk because I am pms'ing. I have been SO hungry. I am sure some of it is head hunger but all in all, I still need to use some will power. Irene-glad you stopped by. Its good to see ya sista! Suzanne-so glad your dr appt went well yesterday :tongue2: What is on your agenda for today? Michelle-I am SO excited for you about your haircut! How long has it been since you had it short? I really hope you post pics! You are gonna feel light headed Oh my dsd is ready for school and just came in here and said I feel like I am gonna be sick, then went to the restroom. Hmmm....not good. I am so anxious for a new year. I am ready to get this one overwith. 2010 is going to be a losing year not a gaining year. We are going to go on a vacation, a real vacation. You know, load up the car & kids and head out. Probably go to Florida . Travel at night while the kids sleep. That is what we did when I was a kid and that is what my best childhood memories consist of. I can't wait! Have a great day everyone! I hope Kat is having fun! Today is her anniversary...Happy Anniversary Kat & Rick!
