a boxer??? YOU MEAN UNDERWARE RIGHT??? ha, ha,ha... you are a softie, just like me and Peter.... Boxer's have really nice temperments Good on the weight loss whoo=hoo!!!! I am so proud of you and your Stick=withitness.... you rock... I made an appt. today with my Lapband clinic, they are having me in for a KICKSTART program.. next Monday... GOD I need it.

What a crazy bunch of zanny ladies... wish I was there, looks like a great time was had by all.. Oh and Have a BLAST on your cruise... you leave this weekend???? ENJOY! Painting again today, sore muscles... but FOOD was GREAT!! Breaky: Fibre 1 Cereal, skim milk Lunch: Taco Bell Bean Burrito Supper: Greek salad with chicken breast sliced on top and its 8"30p.m. and I only have to make it until 10 p.m without over eating... think I can do it today!!! :thumbup:

Oh Phyl, that picture of Earl is a Hoot~~~ Looks just likw PETER.. oh ya, and I "CAN" hear him snoring in Canada!!! Karla, you are not selfish to not want your Mother to live with you.... Its just that you don't need to be her 'daughter' 24 hrs a day... You know what I mean, to them you are always their "child" and they treat you accordingly... this drives ME nuts, so I am sure that you are the same... JUst because you can't afford a real trip you don't need to take a GUILT trip o.k... Just be a good supportive daughter, that's what they need. Don't know what happened to the Janet post...:wink: I love your "BECKism's" keep em comming... I tried to order the book myself but the shipping costs were Horrible!!!

Dah, I missed the part about the BIRD, had to go back and reread some pages... That kid has a lot nerve leaving all that CRAP there....Take the bird to an animal shelter...did he just LEAVE it there all alone???? Throw everything else in the trash... call U-got-Junk### Phyl, I love the icons... so cute:tongue:

Ya roll the quilt tightly from one end, then slide the square that you want to work on just under the needle... the "ROLL" will be to the left of the needle and to the right of the Housing opening. THen unroll another block, quilt it and carry on rolling or unrolling the "JELLY ROLL" until all your sewing is done. Dessert Jelly Roll, usually a flat chocolate cake, filled with icing and then you roll itup then cut it... makes cirlces of cake with icing in the middle.... also like pinwheel sandwiches.... that you make for a "tea" party or "wedding shower"... Perhaps, Karla can explain it better than me... sorry, I was trying to help. O/T... do you believe those JERKS at my old job... they STILL have me advertised on their WEB page!!!! I emailed my old boss and told her to take me off....goof:blink:

Oh Steph sorry thigns didnt go well with the Michael session. Try rolling the quilt into a jelly roll. itll fir under yuor machine throat that way. Ill keep my fingers cr9ssed that you dont get too much snow!

Karla; sewing on a block of the month today... and I HATE the block... can hardly keep my mind on it... hence the computer....LOL plus Bridget is being a pest How's the weather there now???

Karri; I am glad you are getting your fill... that'll be great for you. I am curious though,you havn't mentioned how you are feeling physically lately... like since the surg... Is your tummy feeling o.k. now? Is it flat??? Trying to type wiu=th a JR on my wrists... she is sucha baby!!!

Licorce sticks??? Uh-oh, I've been a bad example havn't I??

If you are having REFLUX at night - then you are TOO TIGHT... get a tiny de-fill... even a fraction of a cc will sometimes help. ACID reflux is no laughing matter... it will cause esophogel errosion which then leads to cancer!!! GET IT FIXED.... (((hugs)))

YEAH!!!! You, Me, Linda all flights confirmed!!! WHoo-hoo How is your band restriction today/?? PHyl, good for you getting into that pool when it is THAT cold... oh did I tell you that Peter was looking at AIRSTREAM trailers yestereday!!:biggrin:

Back from the gym ... with Peter... he let me take my time today... I think he is finally getting it that he RUINS my w/o when he tries to RUSH me... I did 45 mins. on the bike, then did my free weights/arms, then machine weights... lifted over 10,000 lbs today.. I've been able to increase my Leg press to 100 lbs per lift.. whoo-hoo I am getting stronger.. YEAH!!! Have eaten 1/2 pro bar, 2 skinny slices of raisin toast, 1 large slice of Havarti cheese and now drinking tea... that's it so far today for food...

I am glad ANGEL is o.k.... probably something just upset her tummy, or she got into some leftover food that was too greasy.. Go easy with your new BAND fill... your bean soup sounds good!!!

Gosh, they close the roads because of RAIN??? wow, I guess there is no place for the run off eh? No storm gutters? Glad you got your latte though... Ya I know what you mean about the CABIN FEVER... I'd want to get out and about now and then too. Its funny the 'things' we cant eat that we once could. I cannot eat raw fruit... just won't stay down, don't know if its the skins or what... I can 'sometimes' eat salad, but most times its just too much of an effort so I eat cooked veg.. meat, chicken, fish, legumes no problem... But I'd love to have a banana!!!! oh and strawberries!!!! But at least I can eat my popcorn everynight.. I've taken to the Kettle corn. So I make my own version, spray my popcorn with liquid Becel Zero fat spray, then sprinkle it with Splenda... YUMMY!!!:biggrin: Janet: how did your FILL appt go???? Do tell???

Oh you girls!!! Loving the RAIN!!! You definetly belong on the WEST coast then!! Ha,ha,ha. Got back from the RV show today. It was GREAT to see all the nice shiney new vehicles.... Peter was even getting excited to see the AIRSTREAMS... thinks we might need a bigger rig than we have already... DAH!!!! I wondered how long he'd like sleeping in a double bed after a KING and crawling over me in the night to take a pee.... Funny thing about getting older, he needs to pee twice as often as I do in the night now... looks good on him:rolleyes2:

LOL, am I not the Smartest Lucky 7 out there????? Seriously, PHYL... YOU have unfinished bracelet projects!!!!??>?????? look out or you'll turn into a quilter :biggrin: Karla, you'll be able to swing it by spring... I just have a HUGE feeling about it... Plus you'll be driving with Steph/Rose to WA right??? So keep it on the back burner anyways. Karri; I am glad that you are getting the extra help. That is so cool that your principal is behind you like that... THAT is a rare occurance!~!!~ Phyl; Got my flight all booked.. so excited now ... it makes it REAL I think LINDA bought her tickets tonight too. I got a pretty good deal out of Buffalo NY... not a direct flight, but that's what pocket novels are for eh??? Stephanie, can't wait to see you and ROSE again... she was such a blast to have around... I still laugh when I think of the night we all sat out drinking wine in that courtyard until the SPRINKLERS came on!!!!! Went to the gym Yest and today, my KNEES are killing me... but I did a great workout... both days. Snacking is a wee bit better tonight... just don't have the crap around... so I am improving.. Off to the RV show with Peter tomorrow, really looking forward to "HIM" getting bitten by the travel bug:tongue_smilie:

Happy Birthday Stephanie!!! Have a great day!!!!

Oh gosh, I'm here.. Just woke yup. and its 11:00 a.m mytime. Don't know why the DOGS let me sleep that long... Food has slid the last couple days. My meals are o.k. it's just that NIGHT time snacking... I've been eating 2 popcorns, with melted Marg. a couple handfulls of Chipets, Rice crispie squares. BUT, I did go to the gym yesterday, and I am going tonight too... so thats a good thing. I am wearing all new clothes today. SIze 14 Jeans, Large Turtleneck, Large Polar fleece zipper top. I was really glad that I could 'do up my jeans' this a.m. cause I thought perhaps I mighta gained... but I guess not... DH and I are going to the Toronto RV show on Thursday. I ican hardly wait... it'll be so fun to see all the new stuff. Plus it'll get my reluctant traveler Revved up to go!!! Has anyone booked their FLIGHTS to Seattle yet???

I love the pic of the JR puppies... Oh gosh, so cute....which one does she like the best. Does she know how CRAZY JR's can be???? and they live to 15 yrs old... Phyl, what do you want us all to do about the Rental Money for that house.... I don't want you to be out of pocket, but you are right we should reserve it soon...

Oh Stephanie; I am so sorry for your sad news.. You are right about 'people' not getting it... THe poor man could just not take the PAIN anymore... his family needs our prayers. Janet: Today was a lazy day, did quilting all day and am now prepariing to leave for DD's house in T.O. she is taking me to see the KING TUT exibit tomorrow and then we are shopping and doing lunch... I am really looking forward to it. I am taking my OWN popcorn with me for tonight so that I am not TEMPTED to be bad!!! Hotel looks good, are you booking your rooms right now already???? Shouldf I book the flight now too... or wait maybe I'll get a better price closer to the time.????

Going to the GYM in the morning!!!:thumbup:

We love YOU too toots!!! {glad for the clarification}:thumbup:

Stephie; You are completely UNfilled and you can't eat??? What is the problem... is it a SLIPPED Band??? Glad Jeff is going with the sleeve.. good choice... Karrie; You are not always NEGATIVE, now stop that... we love reading your posts... and I agree with Janet... YOU are more than a teacher.... Janet: Just looking at a JULY Calandar.... do we want to shoot for the middle of the month? or how about 3 July to the 9th July... are we doing a WEEK out in Seattle or just a long 4 day weekend thing??? Speaking for myself only... I'd like to be out there for a WEEK, as I'll be flying out there and I don't want to make that long of a trip just for a couple of days... but then I can always hang around more by myself... and SIght-see... I couldn't beleive it YESTERDAY while DH and I were at Boston Pizza we were talking about our Feb. trip south, and then onto our 4-6week cross country VAN trek in Apr/May... then he says "when are you and the 7's getting together??? and Where are you planning on going this year????" OMG... I just about flipped, cause I hadn't been talking abiut it just yet, cause I didn't want to JINX any plans... So its just kinda funny that you mention it tonight Janet!!! :tt1: or are you secretly talking to my DH?????:thumbup:
