December's Chat

NJChick · December 31, 2005

Good Morning,

Hi Cindy, woweee your up late Yep, tomorrow is a new thread :mad: New thread, new year, new start, new weightloss and new healthy US !!!!!

Oh your poor DD. I'm glad her arm is not broken, although when I was little, casts were sooooooooo cool. Do you know they now have different color casts. My neice who was born a dwarf has had many surgeries, many problems but she has had leg surgery and each time she comes out she has a different color cast on... kinda cute if you know what I mean. It makes the kids happy anyway. Glad she's okay though HUGS.

ITS SNOWING IN NJ !!! and may I say the flakes are HUGE !!!!! Looks pretty but I'm sick of snow, we had enuf this year already lol. I just hope people will stay home and not drive drunk, the snow makes it worse b/c its slick on the roads. I pray for everyone's safety tonight.

I am not doing well eating. I ate like a pig yesterday and I know I'm heading there tonight b/c neighbors are coming over and I have a troft full of food to serve..... can you say OINK! I'm gonna try not to eat until then (well I just had 1/2 a bagel lol).

Betty, i'm with you. Jan 2nd is the day I throw the crap out of my house and start my new year. Left overs are a bitch.

Whats everyone doing today/ tonight? any plans to live it up tonight?

Well, my IT dept decided to make use of the Friday before the long weekend - assuming everyone would leave early - and they shut down our computers at 5! So, I came home and collapsed into a little relieved pile and didn't come here to check in. (slug, slug, slug!)

Yesterday I felt about 10 pounds lighter and at least 5 yrs younger - I didn't even realize how much that test was stressing me out!! I am even more relieved today - since I would have felt obligated to go in and re-test if I hadn't passed. The Deadline was 12/31/05. Woo Hoo!!!

Better still, I have convinced DH that IKEA on Saturday when they are having a sale is a BAD idea... He can go and look at flooring during the day when most folks are at work... So, today, we just have to make a run to Sam's Club - and maybe take in a movie - and then I get my wish of staying in for the rest of the weekend. I will probably be vegetating... so you may not hear from me again until Monday.

Betty-Love, Thanks for the offer of the Cookies - but seriously - since I passed that stupid test, I don't have the burning desire to eat one (ok, MORE than one) that I was having. You all kept posting about baking and cooking and all I wanted to do was go to the nearest baked goods aisle and grab, grab, grab. It was bad. I did resist, though, and now that pressure has passed.

Cindy - you are so funny!! I laughed so hard about that making an outfit for Pat business...

Pat, Honey, I just can't reconcile that picture of you in your beautiful suit and your red had with a picture of you in a leather halter with Daisy Duke cut-offs and tangled hair. I'm betting you have a really good set of riding leathers - that cover all the essentials. Come on Pat, fess up! Any tattoos from your wild-child days?

And Cindy - hope DD is doing well. It probably would have been the highlight of her week to get a cast - but the story wasnt exciting enough. She would have had to make up some more exciting reason for the break.... lol! Glad you had fun shopping! I haven't had fun shopping since I was 12. Since then it has been an arduous, torturous process of finding something that fits, but doesn't make me look HORRID.

Eileenie - Some of us would be THRILLED with that lovely precipitation. We are already thinking forward to Spring here... We MIGHT get another cold-snap in January - but after that, the flowers start blooming. If we don't get some rain - there won't be any Water for flowers and grass... And that whole Hank Hill thing about the lawn? That is REAL. The folks around here get all crazy about having the perfect lawn. I don't understand that compulsion, myself... So I guess I will never be a TRUE Texan.

I have NO plans to party-hearty or any of that other stuff. I will probably watch Dick Clark (they must have him digitized... He can't REALLY still be alive and doing the New Year's Eve show, can he?) and play my computer game. I am going to keep on eating what I want until Tuesday... Monday night, all the garbage goes where it belongs and I am back to Protein Shakes and proper meals...

Happy New Year's!!

If I am not too slugged out, I may check in. Love you guys!!

Happy New Year to all my chat buddies, in New Jersey, New York, Virginia and Texas! Can't believe another year has passed. I'm very hopeful for a better new year, and even more hopeful for a year that brings good health and happiness to all of us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being just a "click-click" away! Ya'll are the best!

I'll look for our new thread tomorrow! Love to all, Cindy
