  1. Hello Ladies I will post my photobucket pics from the last year. I have hired a little help, but did a ton myself. I have a beautiful new deck and french doors (I had nothing to do with the doors) a new kitchen, and bathroom I've been doing since July, and I have a laundry room, which I've wanted for 10 years, but I have to finish framing the wall around the washer and dryer and tile under them where I cut the carpet out, but I can close the door so I'll do that when I can. Other than the bathroom, everything else was done on nights and weekends. My house looks totally different in the last year, and I did tons of stuff before that. Ok I'm going to drink some coffee, i have a ton to do today
  2. Tracy how funny, I feel lazy not walking and going to the gym. my body hurts from sitting on the floor all week. Anyway - off to pass out, I'm beat!
  3. Hey all quiet here Laura - please... keep the snow! It is freezing here 20degrees below normal. I am taking a break, the bathroom is tiled and grouted, I have to wash the floor a couple more times but I'm going to cut the holes for th water lines in a few and get the cabinet in. Dad is coming to help with the toilet tomorrow when i call him. Getting ready to clean up a bit here and hope to get the sink in tonight, and the faucet on the tub so I have water. That would just be so nice to take a bath. Anyway, another crazy day and I'm off to get more stuff done. hugs to you all... I'll catch up with ya'll... xoxoxoxoxoxo
  4. I'll keep her in my prayers. That is a good thing she went back to a new DR.! That must be so scary I would be happy to lose 4lbs, I'm still so stuck, glad you are doing well! Good luck with school, I did it when ds was 3mos old, full time mom, student and employee, and soon to be downward spiral in a relationship... no wonder why I needed to lose 150lbs:eek: Wow! I would have never thought papaya would work for the band. My mom is always pushing when I feel like throwing up, which seems to be a lot lately... I'm going to take one next time. Hi Tracy. Whatcha up to sister? You know me, I wait until the very last minute for everything. Took me all day yesterday to get 15 tiles down, got up yesterday and should have just gone back to bed... I had interruption after interruption yesterday, so i got the last tile down after 5pm and I started at 7:30:mad2: I watched The Proposal last night, it was a great movie. Had a nice wood fire and just relaxed. Dan, the guy I met in Sept, came over and hung out with me (and helped) while I worked and watched the movie. He is really sweet, I do like him. . . I just need to be free for a litle bit. It is freezing here... 25degrees, I'm not ready for this yet! I go up early this am and turned up the gas fireplaces I use for heat source to warm it up for the kids. I get to spend the day in the bathroom again today and tomorrow. I get to grout the floor this morning and then that has to set for 24 hrs, so I'm going to bring the sink in the living room so i can put the faucet in and get it ready, tomorrow I get a toilet and tub faucet and put the fronts back on the tub and storage and I'm done (ok I still have to grout the wall, but not until next week) I have to take care of my health insurance Tuesday and get my stuff together for Heap and family court. I'm going to get my class B license and hazmat endorsement so I can have more job options and finish my osha certifications. I have to get going here, and now that my house is just about finished I need to focus. Ok off to get the troops up... see ya'll later
  5. Good morning all Mom - I would say slight unfill for a month to let your system adjust. Tracy K knows about that best. Me personally, I would try do do the post surgery diet for a couple days, do liquids to let your body settle down, I'm doing that right now because I've been throwing up. Also, I know you can chug water, but try sipping for a few. You could have done too much too soon? Hi gals, I'm still feeling like i want to get sick, If I could have children, I would almost wonder.... that is just how I feel. I was going to go for my walk this morning, but I'm going to put it on hold for a couple days. I have to get this bathroom done and the house cleaned up for Friday, and it seems I'm running out of time. Maybe I'll hit the gym tonight. It is COLD here, 30 this morning when I got up. Yuck! Unseasonably cold all week, mid 40's. I don't like it, have my fireplaces going already! Ok I'll be back, going to get kids ready for school
  6. Hey all Tracy - I didn't want to put too much on Facebook, because I didn't know how much my aunt wants our family to know... but I only get to see her 1-2 times a year and she is my absolute favorite. Her daughter lives right outside NYC so I get to take a road trip, spend the night and spend some QT with her. They live in SC and I would be down with her in a hot minute!!!
  7. Hey all sorry for the lack of personals. I'm feeling better and just don't know where to start reading. As for the swine, It is very scary, you hear about get sick and 2 days later... It would be nice if they gave details of what happened and what to look for. My kids have asthma, dd is much worse than ds, but I'm right on them. They both have colds and I keep telling ds if he has even a slight problem with his chest and listening very carefully to his cough. I'm so scared of that. I have nebulizer here and stocked on their meds, but what happens with these kids that they are not getting the proper care or attention that they fill up so quickly? That I don't understand and that is what scares me most. Do they just give them an antibiotic and send them home? I just don't get it. Anyway, on another note... I'm feeling better, and got floor done and now going to get my lazy butt up and clean. Going to walk tomorrow if it kills me.
  8. Good Morning drive by post, I am sick and feel like I'm going to puke, so I'll be back
  9. Get on a plane and come spend the weekend with me! oh... all my favorites, would only be better if they were peanut m&m's:eek: Ok so I just did a muli Quote and I have no idea how I did it
  10. Tracy - you know it is not good to skip meals (((((hugs))))) Suzanne - I've been cursin' like a construction worker today working on the bathroom. I want to kill the guy who did the work, ugh. I won't be done until Thursday and I am having a party Friday
  11. Suzanne - just came to take a break, I am done chipping up tiles and have almost 1/2 of the subfloor taken up. I need to get the entire floor up and new floor down today. I think I'm going to layout a row of tiles so tomorrow I can go to town. I have to paint the wall behind the old sinkand where the toilet is going to be so it has a nice coat while it is empty. I'll update final pics with my other ones on photobucket when it is all done. I can't wait. Trim in the kitchen, living room and bathroom will all be done at the same time, and other than my office/laundry room, and some paint... I'm done! It has been a year of a lot of work, but it was so worth it, things look so very different in here and it is so much warmer with all I've done.
  12. Hola Tracy sorry your time is ending so soon, but it was nice wasn't it! Hi Suzanne I just got in from my walk, and having water and breakfast and then i'm going to sit on the bathrom floor for hours DD is watching the breakfast club... i love that movie! We do netflix so that goes back Tuesday and We will have The Proposal on Wed, and going to pick the next movie, we get 2 at a time but returned one yesterday instead of returning at the same time. Anyway, off I go...
  13. Hi guys I can't figure out that multi post, I did it a couple times but then i go to do it and screw it up so forgive me if i miss personals Suzanne - I wish I could go to support group, I just can't for personal reasons, and I can't seem to find one that is not with Albany Med. Tracy - so glad you are getting a nice quiet all about you weekend. Love ya sister Michelle - holy crapola... a Bear????? I would freak It is so cold here today, I turned on my gas fireplace that heats my downstairs. It is on low and just enough to take the chill out of the air. It was only 56 in my house this am. We are only going to be 39 as a high on friday and possible snow. YIKES! I had a nice time last night, we went to dinner, I felt like I ate like a pig... I had 1 scallop wrapped in bacon, a very tiny salad and didn't finish it, an ounce of steak with some onions on it, and some butternut squash as a replacement to potatoes. we had nice conversation and company, then we went to bar, it was quiet when we got there and for quite a bit. We had a drink and visitied and when it got crowed and we were getting ready to leave we had a great time people watching. So I'm up, going to walk, come back and work on the bathroom, and then going to ladies night tonight. have a great day all... i'll be back later
  14. Good morning gals! or afternoon, really busy, have a date tonight and worked the last 2 days Kat - I so enjoyed talking to you too, and that is a sad turn out on that. No matter what happens, you guys were close and it is sad to see someone you cared about in such a bad state. Hi everyone, just wanted to drive by, got to get moving
  15. Tracy enjoy your free weekend. I want to go to bed and just stay there.... I feel lost today
  16. Tracy (and anyone else) you know you are welcome... come visit!!!!! Kat, enjoyed catching up... enjoy dinner tonight! MUAH hi Suzanne, I see you
  17. hello all worked, went shopping for furnace parts, met with my contractor who is fixing it for me, had a salad and about to get the rest of the tiles off the floor it is freezing here, only going to be in the high 40's next week... I'll take your cold front Tracy...lol
  18. Hi all just wanted to drive by post and let you know I'm thinking of you all (((((jane))))))
  19. Good Morning gals Laura - wow thanks for the compliment. I have met someone online support group, not banding group, but wl group and I've been talking to him for almost 3 months, the thing that sucks is he is so far away, because we have such a connection and very similar goals and it is to the point where we can't wait to talk to each other... oh.. why me. I am going on a date Saturday night, He would have us married, I've known him for a long time, but we are just going as friends because I told him I'm too f'd up to get into a relationship... The other thing, most of the guys I know, meet and hang with are all constrction, so I can tell it the way it is. Ok so I'm going to make kids breakfast and figure out if i'm working this morning, going to rain about noon so I don't know that is my new shirt
  20. hey guys been logging and chipping trees all day I'm about to fall over Concert was great, i'll post some pics we could have touched him I saw poison and def lepard too that was the nght i caught kev in more lies (july 3rd) and the beginning of the end for us the real end, so needess to say i had a horrible time at that one. ok i'll be back for personals, i am so tired i cnat even think straight
  21. Michelle - I hear you, my dr says why torture yourself if you can't or are done having children. I did Depo for 3 years and my friends wanted to KILL me, I was the biggest Bitch in the entire world, but it did stop my bleeding. I'll keep you in myy thoughts. Tracy- that is great it went well for you yesterday, I'm off to help a friend so I'll be out cleaning trees all day! I will catch up later because you know I want to chat with you. Concert was AMAZING, I got security to put us in the pit and he had a back stage and was right there!!! I will have pics later and will try to post, it is almost unreal! Sugarland was amazing too, best show in a long time, we danced all stinking night. xoxoxo off to get ready - have to leave in 20 mins, i'll be back for more personals later
  22. Michelle Yes feels great, I've been in regular stores for a while... 16 is doable, but still was not into trying things on. We had a blast today, the first time ever! As for my surgery, I had the ablasion done (SP) best way to describe it is as a DnC that is more perm. I was having very long (2week) periods and get cysts approximately 2-3 times a year. I should only get a very short light period if any and I should not have the cyst problem if all goes well. There was no other medical reason than to have a hysterectomy to straighten my problems out, so this is the best option and worse case, I still have to have the big one at some point in my life. I was back to regular activities the next day, other than leftover pain pills. I can get the exact name if this sounds like a similar thing. pm me if you want more details xoxoxo
  23. Irene - Admitting there is a problem is the first step.. LOL... just kidding, kind of. But I understand where you are...Tracy, Kat, Suznne all know, I've been the same 5lbs for over a year, this last 30 was me waking up one morning and taking control of my life, my eating and my exercise. That is the bottom line. I don't alter my food much because I really do well eating the same thing, then something different is a treat. I have stuff that is easy to make and prepare and only takes a few minutes if I'm in a hurry. I never every drink with my food, bad things happen to me... and I have not put anything with bubbles in it in my body in 3 years, no soda, no beer, no champagne, nothing!!!!! I hope you figure it out and I know that you can jump start this again! I have faith in you, getting your head in the right place really is the next step (for me it was anyway) So in March I was a size 16/18 and today I went to Old Navy and bought a solid size 12, and have on a 14 non stretch jean right now that is too big, just didn't hav clean laundry. I found my new winter coat there and it was a size L and beautiful. I can shop in anystore I want and I am finding all these clothes that I've never been able to wear ... and my old navy bag with a skirt in it was so tiny I had a hard time with the reality that there was something in there that would fit on my body. I mean a bag you would get at a salon with shampoo in it. I wish I could just make the last 25lbs go away, and I wish I knew what I have been doing so I could share with all of you. Kat - I'm glad ds made that choice, I think it was a smart one too. Tracy - good luck with your legal advice... (((((hugs))))) ok i'm off to have lunch and then go tan so I can hit the gym at 3 with my daughter. xoxoxoxo all
  24. Thanks gals for the compliments Suzanne YIPEE YOU..... see... now doesn't that feel great??? I think I'm totally bloated, it is TOM but because of my surgery I only get symptoms... I am up 2lbs and there is no reason for it. I'm going shopping this morning to return some jeans I got for dd that are too big... I have been harping on her, she was up to 164, granted she is 5'8" but still, she was getting a little belly and kev has heart history and she is built just like him. that scares me. So anyway, I have just been harping to take smaller bites and chew her food... she lost 8lbs and went from a size 10 to an 8 in 2 weeks... not even changing anything she eats. Ok off to get ds on the bus in a few and get showered to hit the mall, a nice rainy day. DS is staying at aftercare and dd and i are going to the gym at 3, she wants to start going back. Then home to get ready for the concert tonight, can't wait.
  25. Nice Kelly love the story of Shalee Thought I would share a pic of me today, was feeling a little fat but pretty good at the same time. and I found a shirt at target tonight, and guess what it was a small, i got sad and then thought I'll try it on... I BOUGHT IT. I'll take pics tomorrow of that, wearing it to Keith and Sugarland!
