Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

Girl you know you are welcome in all the fun.

My opinion of the way to proceed is:

Individuals send your mailing information to Suzzzie. in IM. She will randomly assign people to their Secret Santa (SS) in IM. This will be done by December 1st.

Spend no more than $25 on your SS. Less if you're a good bargain finder.

Drop your gift to your SS by December 17th.

What do you think?

And ZZ, do you think, and does anyone mind, doing a mailing list of our addresses? I'm a Christmas card freak and I'd love to send all of you cards, even if you aren't my SS. You've become such a part of my life this past year.

Ideas, concerns, changes? Let's discuss.

BG-

Korrine takes after her mommy, huh?

You'd think that Zoe would be a good ass kicker, consdering how big and strong she is, but my baby is a sensitive little thing.

And it breaks my heart that she's such a target, because she's not a follower. I love that she's unique. (I so was not. I wanted to be regular in a family of freaks.) I want her to get thicker skin, but not so much that it changes her sweetness.

J -

Sorry to hear that some other little girl was mean to Zoe. I think it's one of the reasons that it's best I don't have kids - my heart would ache too much, and I would want to do everything in my power to protect my kid, or return some of the heart ache to the other kid. "Who gives a shit what you think, you snivelling little bitch" is the first thing that would come to my mind (and worse, mouth). Good on her for wanting to wear her costume - it's halloween for pete's sake.

I like the idea of the christmas card list & the secret santa --- If ZZ is up for distributing the list.

I have a mid-term this afternoon, so wish me luck! (Finance J - Your fave!)

Ok, I am up for just about anything to do with you peeps. You know I love ya all!!!

I am going to kick the girls ass for you J!!! God, I hate meanness!!!! I just breaks my heart for your little Zoe!!!! That is one thing about being a parent...nothing hurts more, physically being born and then emotionally as they have to go out into the world....it sucks ass sometimes....

HAPPY HALLOWEENIEEEE EVERYONE. I am sooooo not a halloween person too. Your lucky you got that.

[areellady 1]

Oh, and Reeses hell, count me in....I am a licker by nature....I did not eat it either, I gave it to DD who loved every minute of it...

[areellady 1]

TX, oh my, DH is gonna love HIS anniversary present I bet!!!

[areellady 1]

Good Luck B on your mid-term...but just think....half way through the semester!!!! YEAH!!

[areellady 1]

HP, you rock it with all the new clothes and avatars....you are one hip woman.....I so want to go buy a new pair of jeans, but don't dare yet. I want to buy a smaller pair too. I just feel like I am never gonna move past here...

I eat toooooo much food....I get stuck sometimes, but can still pack in the food...way more than I should. It's like I am tired of all the happiness I have brought myself and now I am trying to sabotage myself and not lose or even gain it back. Dumb, I know, but I know you all know how it feels...

B-

Good lucky as the Deaf would say. You'll do well. Finance was hard because it's so different from what I knew, but it was interesting!

D-

I know what you mean about sabotaging yourself.

Rationally, you are probably just tired of the effort it takes to keep losing. The band does help but it doesn't make weight loss automatic. We have to work at it and it exhausting.

Also, the Holiday season is upon us and it's loaded. Physically with candy and many food traditions. Emotionally it's loaded too. And there's no denying that food and how we eat are emotionally linked...so dealing with that and having a natural laul in motivation is like a double whammy.

For me, I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. I'm not an AAer, but if I can plan one day and do well then I'm motivated for the next day, and so on.

Maybe that helps?

[areellady 1]

Yea, I like the one day at a time...sometimes I am already thinking ahead into the week.....good idea....you should be a motivational speaker J...ya, know...like Susan Powter....LOL....she has dreadlocks now...

[Suzzzie. 3]

Hey all. I don't mind at all compiling a list of addresses and such for christmas cards. I'll include myself there, cause I LOVE getting non-bill mail. Lol. So whenever your ready, PM me your info... When I get everyone I will distribute... Oh yeah, gimme a # of peole participating. Lol. So I don't strike too soon and leave someone out.
