Apples2

Way to go on the Masters degree, Lucy! Don't know how you did it with having young children. It's a lot to put on your plate. I'm proud of you!:w00t:

Ok...so way laying awake last night when I got up to go potty. I struggled with putting the fudge recipes on this WLS site. Sooooooooooooooo...decided that this morning I am going to post a disclaimer so there will be no "After Christmas Fudge Guilt" to keep me awake. Disclaimer: Make at your own risk. No bitc_ing, whining, complaining on the 5lbs gained from eating Apples' fudge. Whew, now I feel better. Great photo of you and Phyll, Janet. You girls look so classy and your house if very festive. I am running behind on mine but going to put the nose to the grindstone today and see what I can accomplish. How are the knees, Janet. DH is suffering big time. He's working in the cold, which doesn't help. He climbs A LOT of stairs while drying corn. Our bins are at least 40 feet high and he climbs stairs up and down all day long. Poor guy was in pain and watched him walk out to bin site this morning and he's walking like an old man. He has knee braces from doc and hope that helps. He tends to get rid of them part way through the day as they "slow him down". Wish you could make the FL trip, Lori. Be fun if you could sneak that trip in. Better get after it. Want this house all Christmassy my the time I go to bed tonight.

Happy you enjoyed the fudge, Phyll. And, what is it with skinny guys and fudge? My DH is thin and can eat unlimited sweets. Damn those skinny fudge eating men!

Thanks for the quick response Melissa. That's cool that you would want to bring your mom. The more the merrier. I thought we were thinking the Orlando area so it would be easier for everyone without renting cars, etc. I am open for anything. Just want to get this planned and set. I think we were talking Feb 11, 12, and 13. All you guys...don't be afraid to say what you want.

Oh good...back to the yoga pants...I have bought lots of Danskin things and love the quality. I have their capris and shirts and shorts. Their pants are too short for me. But they wash up nice and last. Speaking of Danskin capris...I have four pair that have never been worn, size medium. They have a zipper but also a draw string. I am thinking that would be about a size 8-10. Anyone of you that wants them, I will stick them in the mail and they are yours. Just PM me.

Gosh...what is the subject going to be for tomorrow? Looks to me like those darned sweat pants ruled the show today.

Julie..I got those Champion pants online at Target in their Clearence section. I always have to order the longs and then don't have to always line dry them so the won't shrink. I have to line dry all my jeans for that reason, even if I buy longs. You can also buy the regular length at most Target stores. I really do love them and by the way it looks, so do many others. Laura...Nels looks like he could fit right in with DH around here on the farm....so darned cute! He has those cheeks you just want to kiss. OK girls...tomorrow I am going to get going on this FL meet. Planning for President's Day weekend in Feb. I know this has kind of gotten drug out with the planning and I apologize for that. I need ANOTHER head count since I am a scatter brain. I need some input. Do you guys want Thrus, Friday and Sat. to leave on Sunday? Do you want a hotel that is close enough to the airport to get shuttles? Does anyone want to share a room to save on expense? Do you want suites? Do you want a townhouse? Some input and we'll get this thing in place. I am soooooooooo anxious to meet you guys and want for all of you to make your plans, reserve your time off, etc. Info please..................

FYI Phyll...online clearance Target...they had capris for not a very high price. (Can't remember but I think they were $9.99. Have a fun time with Janet. Take photos by her tree and have a fluffy drink for me!

Hey Jewel...first off I would make it clear to my husband that I look for his support in this. Have him do some research along with you on the band. Secondly, I would approach MIL (with information in hand regarding the LB) and ask for her support in this. You might be surprised by her reaction. Ask her to support you and help you through this. Tell her your daily menu is going to change and that you need her help in staying on track with your meals. Maybe just asking her for some help will bring her around. Keep us informed on how you are doing with everything. Stay strong and do what you feel is right for YOU.

Janet...are we sending you our home addresses and then you are emailing them to the ones that participate???????

Hey Phyll..I think you can get the pants in a short (online) if that's what you wear. I have them out of a couple different materials. Some look like more of a cotton and then have the more flowy/satiny looking. They are a staple in my wardrobe. So comfy. There are times I need to run to town at the drop of a hat and no time to change. They are very versitile.

Christmas wrapping paper?

Cherry Blossoms? Roses?

Holly berries?

Cherry or grape tomatoes?

Thanks, and I'll glady take that point!

Pomegranet (sp?) seeds?

The ocean as seen on a map?

Blue construction paper? Diva...you're gonna have me junking up this thread again with guesses!

Blue Play Dough or blue paint?

Ok, Diva, it cannot be as easy as just "primary blue" color?

Hey OnTheWay...good goin' on the weightloss. I see you are just a couple of #'s away from a lifetime goal. Way to go!:sad:

Denim jeans?

LOL:biggrin:

I would say that maybe you should give your LB doc a call. Not a good situation to be in and you could be dehydrated. Good luck and hope you start feeling better soon.
