Great so sorry that you aren't going to make it to FL, I feel so bad for you. Wonderful that Eva and Janet got new flights. Way to go Ladies. Thanks for the prays and wishes for my Isaac. He is doing a bit better still a wait and see. I will wait for all the great news and pics from you FL peeps. Have fun take care. Laura K

Apples, if MN is chosen for next year I would drive up. That would give us another car. It is probaly about 9 hrs for me not to much beyond where my daughter is now. I know my Mom loved Duluth when my DB lived there. I've been babying my dashound Isaac. Had to take him to the vet, was prepared to put him down but we are trying steriods first. He ruptured a disc in his back and he could not stand or walk. He can stand & walk for about 2 feet today and is finally eating and drinking a bit. I will not see him suffer but am going with this for awhile. First thing vet said was send him a neurologist which would cost $5000-$7000. ugh not going to happen. Yes I am envious but so excited for all of you that get to meet. Have a great time and I can't wait to see all your pics. Take care all. Laura K

Phyl, wonderful pics of you and DH. Kinda sucks about the weather. I would be so upset if it rained on my trip. All you ladies heading for FL are getting so excited. Linda it will be you and I bumming but we have next year to look forward to. I think my fav commercial was the little boy and the doritos. Most were lame. My DS had his GF and buddy over we played euchre and had munchies. Made stuff I could eat also and they had other stuff too. Janet glad you had a good time with your sister. It is really neat learning about the jewish faith. I don't know anyone that is jewish nor have ever learned anything about it. Keep up the lesssons ladies. Julie glad you were able to sleep sounds like the pt is working. Take care. Laura K

Eva, great job in getting down, that's on the floor. LOL Gotta love it when we can reach those little milestones. Great, that will be cool for you maybe it'll turn into something more. Everyone take care. Laura K

Hi Everyone, Janet get out the wet noodle I need a lash or two. When Apples posted she is drinking cappachinos to gain back her pounds it hit me like a ton of bricks. My new addiction has been drinking caps w/coffee. Duh & I wondered why I have not been losing even though I have been exercising like crazy. So I finally checked out the calaries, they are history. Replaced my diet pop with coffee, I have never drank that, I hated the smell. Not a smart trade for me. I've started reading my Beck book and like it so far. Makes you set back and ponder a few things. Well better get back to work. Thanks for letting me get my stupidity of my chest. Take care & have a great day. Laura K

Jessica, thoughts and prayers for you and your family on the best out come for all. Melissa, Apples forgot me because she is trying to pretend she doesn't want a CHOC LAB PUPPY. Big brown puppy eyes, soft and cuddly needing a new momma LOL I went to the Frankenmuth snowfest today. Wow what beautiful snow and ice sculptures. Down side way to many people, had a hard time seeing some of them. Felt like we were cattle being pushed through a shute. Dang was it cold, had on 3 shirts, coat, 2 prs of socks, boots, ear muffs, cuddle duds & gloves. brrrrrr Cheri, congrats on getting to goal. Take care. Laura K

Janet, Happy Birthday. Apples, kick some young butt... Laura K

Apples, glad you made it safely and son is doing good. Have fun spoil him while you can. Laura K:thumbup:

Hi All, Had a good food day and exercise day. Walked on treadmill this am for 30 min before work, 20 mins after work and went to zumba for 1 hr. Still tight at night, could not eat but a few bites of my dinner. That's ok I'm not hungry. Had some sunflower seeds when I got back from zumba. Mrs Bubba, hope the pain stays away tonight and this pt helps. Glad you are making those Cookies for the troops. They will love it. Take care. Laura K

Lisa, Welcome we were both banded in the same month and year. I'm from MI. Glad to hear you are doing so good, keep it up or Janet will come after you now that you joined us. lol While growing up we had horses of our own or I would borrow one for the summer. Was in 4H until I was 19. I love to ride. It's been a long time since I have. Jessica, congrats on the wonderful grades, you rock. I bring doggie bags home every time. I think it would look better to bring yours home rather than leave them on your plate. They might think you didn't like it. It's amazing the questions people will ask you when they want to know about your band. I think there is a lot of bad & confusing messages being passed around by people who don't know. We are all little ambassadors for this. We can get the right message out there & hopefully it will help at least one person who needs it. So put on your hat & suit and spread the message. Lol Everyone take care have a great day. Laura K

Don't think there were as many la la la's, Momma

Ahh come on Apples you know you want one. Their so sweet when they are little and when they get big. Big brown puppy eyes.......... I hear them calling momma come get me.:thumbup:

Apples, I would jump that plane in a heart beat. Tired of the cold, tired of work, need a change of pace. Now if I could only win the Mega Millions tonight I would pay for everyone to be there. Everyone cross their fingers for my numbers to come up. DS is is an easy target also. Just love a good joke. We are always doing stuff to each other at work. We have a truce right now, I'll have to think up somethinge it's getting to boring. I can sure tell I have restriction now, can only eat 3/4 c for dinner. I seem to be opposite of most I feel tighter at night. Guess I'm weird, no I know I'm weird. lol Be safe tomorrow in you travels, I want to be able to meet you all on the next trip. Laura K

Don't ya just love when you can pull off a good joke like that. Just warms your little heart. lol Way to go Apples.

Deb, Very cool scarfs. I'm like you I love to create but hate to sell. It takes all the fun out of it and makes it work. Laura K

I loved the pics of mnts and snow. I haven't been exposed to too many mnts., it's very flat here in MI. The palm trees and snow are so cool... Hope all that are not feeling well continue to improve. Been kind of a down day around here. Haven't had much sunlight in the last week. Waiting for my Beck book to come, they say it has been shipped. Of course I had to order a few extra books, had to get that free shipping. lol Take care all, Laura K

Laura, What a trooper. Love the color, we call that Michigan State University green!!! go MSU lol Laura K

Apples, you gotta have shoes, sacreligious not to. lol Laura K

Eva, I'm not that coordinated either, go the wrong way all the time. We just laugh and keep going. Nobody gets mad or disgusted. There is getting to be a group of about 9 of us that keep showing up. It's fun. Your job sounds so fasinating. At least you get to learn and do different things. I love learning new stuff. Guess I need to start taking some classes again I'm getting bored. Same ole same ole. Oh you guys also got me excited about that Beck book so I ordered it and a few others from Amazon today. Janet, did you get your fill? Everyone else take care have a great Friday. TGIF laura K

Linda, Yes they do have zumba tapes. Not sure of the names but I have seen them advertised. Laura K

Deb, I love Zumba. I have my class tonight. It's so much fun. I don't feel like I'm working out. Our instructor tells us to just keep moving even if you don't have to same moves going on as the others. lol Laura K

Way to go Melissa, congrats on all your good news. Laura K:thumbup:

Janet, you are right it takes two days to recover now. We'd have to start on Friday so I could function on Monday. lol I'm not Catholic but guess I'm just bad. Got to amend that not to bad any more, can't drink the beer. Boy do I miss that sometimes. Laura K
