morning everyone Terry - love the china - rest today! ok Tracyks- glad you splurged too. Me - i'm getting threathening letters for late payments so i am going to be 100% caught up by the 26th, there goes the rest of my xmas shopping, but i guess there are more important things - but i guess that will start the new year with no stress right? anyway, snowing here and then going to home depot, i'm returning a bunch of stuff i wont need to get a few little things to hook up my dishwasher, it should not cost me anything i hope have a great day everyone oh.. Terry I did get the same text too, I hope Jane is doing better today

well said Kat! Oh, and the new kitchen... well... it is almost done, waiting on my electrician for my oven and since Lowes messed up my counter top - well it is going to be a few more weeks. I should be able to run the dishwasher tomorrow, and I built a frame for my gas fireplace, i was going to hex it and i made it into a box, I don't know if I 100% like it but i have not tiled it yet either, which I'm sure will help a lot. I have a huge hole in my bathroom from where the dryer was, so i started working on that today too, and snow blowed. I'm exhausted Making some popcorn and probably going to pass out. fee better Pamela

good morning gals what a day - we got Judy's storm yesterday, took me 2 hours to get home then was out snowblowing for 2 hours, mom had to be to work at 7am so i cleaned off her car and got her out. I'm so glad i could squeeze my car in the garage, cabinets are just about done got up at 9 had some coffee and out snowblowing again. We are getting another 8-10 tomorrow - so glad i didn't have to work today I'm going to scrub the kitchen floor today so i can finish grouting - but somehow one of my tiles got broken so i have to repace that Any word on Jane Trackyinks - I have popcorn for dinner ever night air pop then put real butter on it. It would taste even better if popped in a pot then butter, but i have to draw the line somewhere I made a pulled pork last night, and just had a small bowl, it took 30 mins, but i ate it I was catching up on post.... First.. Tracy - do the best you can - but I am with you on as soon as Jan 1 is here i'm back on track with you Then Terry - loved your evaluation of what is different and I am with you 1. I eat after 7 (usually popcorn) 2. with no kitchen I don't cook at all, order out 3. gall bladder prevents me from eating 4. not enough Protein (or anything else at this point) I just got a new bullet and going to start making Protein shakes again - or pudding with Protein powder to bring to work. well - ds just came and gave me a big story about how he wants his room painted so i lost my thoughts... My package was sent out priority yesterday morning so it should be there Monday - anyway - have a great day everyone

Morning gals quick check in, i'm going to try to leave early - getting snow this morning, and then more Sunday... yuck going to be a long winter I am sending out my package today - actually m mom is running it to the post office for me this am and going to send it 2 day - so someone needs to keep a look out I don't know why i'm running so cray this year I'm making pulled pork today in the crock pot today, hope I can eat it - i lacking something, but taking my vitiimins and my hair has stopped falling out. I can't wait to feel better have a great day everyone

morning gals quick check in, trying to catch up reading what's happening We got brisket - i think that was a $30 dinner for all 10 of us.... that was great anyway - got to go, have to get money before work, i'm having firewood delivered today big meeting day today - i'm exhausted already

you are so cute Laura Hope you guys all survived your food delemas today - me... i had a cookie and wanted to puke. Can't wait for surgery - 3 weeks, which how ironic is when my kitchen will be done. Cabinets are 100% in tomorrow, and ovens hooked up this weekend but Lowes messed up in a major way and we had to re-order our counter top. I'll post pics tomorrow, i took some with my phone but i'm to tired to try to post them anyway, i miss logging on during the day to get into the chit chat.... hope you all have a good night

hey gals i guess walking the stairs to the 3rd floor it seems like thousands of times this weekend balanced out for the food i ate, still holding 203 which considering i lived on French onion soup until i was getting pains again.. I think that is pretty good anyway - hope you all have a great day, i'm off to work, i'll update kitchen pictures tonight, left the camera at work. I have cabinets! just 3 more to go, the big oven unit, the fridge and the wine rack. I'm so excited, I can actually put stuff away tonight

hey gals i'm home long ass day, left Buffalo at 4am worked all day, had to go get my paycheck - long story - then to the bank, then we went to dinner at the bar, I got a chicken quesidilla (sorry for the sp) not fried, grilled so i ate 2 sm pcs at the bar and eating 1 not. Ran into Dicky at the bar, he cam over... he has not met my kids, was chatting with them, he hates kids... my mom was there, she said she could tell he really liked me the way he was looking at me, and asked how old he was, she was shocked he was 60. he is so sweet, always kissing me when i see him, even if a sweet and innocent kiss goodbye... i love kissing him... what is with me? anyway, i'm going to pass out, long day today and tomorrow is going to be another. We got power back last night (but i just got home) so i have cabinets. They will bee done and ready for counter tops to be measured tomorrow. HOW Exciting! anyway, love ya'all.... thanks again oh... if someone does not get a pkg... I am sending it out tomorrow.... and i'm sending priority mail so you should have it by Thurs or Friday... hope you like it!

hey guys they have a computer in the lobby i finally was able to get to. Xmas party is so nice, I love these people and they now know i'm thinking about going south in a couple of years. They want me here The inn is great... The Roycroft. My room is what is on the webpage, so nice The ice Storm hit so hard, we have been without power and I felt guilty last night but better today, mom took the kids to my sisters, she has a monster generator and power so they are there and told me to have a good time Tracy - thanks for posting - I'm starving but i think head hungry, i had 1/4 red potatoe a small slice roast beef and a couple bites of salad, the most food since Thanksgiving. I had french onion soup earlier and i think my body didn't like the fat in the soup, it hurts to breathe. Oh well I'm going back up to my room and going to sleep. Hope you all have a good night - i'll check in when i can. Laura - got your text too, that is such a great feeling isn't it? I'm so happy for you

Tracy - i tried eggs tonight, 2 bites.... eating popcorn what am I going to do when away this weekend with no popcorn?

Hello everyone Laura - Congrats! I am glad you are feeling better Jane I made it to the dr today, and after being crazy waiting for over an hour in the room, thinking the worst, he comes in, tells me my gall bladder is only fuctioning at 40% and when do i want to have it out? We can do it now... we can schedule when i want to do it or wait until i have another attack, which could be any day, or 6 months... I told him i prefer not to do it on an emergency basis so I'm scheduled for Jan 16 for surgery unless I have an attack and it will come right out. I'm going to make eggs and see if i can eat those. My lock on my potty was frozen so i didn't really eat or drink today

Ok now i'm ticked... just lost a great personal post.... Jane (((((HUGS)))))) good luck today Laura - I'm so excited for you today, can't wait to hear Tracyk- were you taking those pictures in the middle of the night????? hmmmmmmmm which one is crazier that or the snow itself? LOL Kat - that must be such a great feeling for Gary to know there is a Dr that actually takes the time to care ok, everyone else... hey got to go... ice storm here Test results at 10:30 - big morning

Jane Hugs girlfriend... your story sounds similar to mine these days. My iron was ok but zink is low, i had to have the same CT done because the resident dr said it was my kidney and i had to have radioactive crap on Monday. I go to see my dr tomorrow at 10:30 for test resultas and what is next I'll keep you in my prayers tomorrow. Laura + can't wait to hear what your results are... I say boy good nigh all - for real

thought i would pop in - just sat down... was goingto grout the tiles but i decided i would be better if i did that tomorrow and i got on my hands and knees with a super bleach mix and scrubbed the tiles that are going to be under the cabinets, there was left over thinset and mud from the walls and just dirt. Tomorrow i'll grout when they are dry, we are getting the cabinets in and somewhat placed and i have to run 1 outlet and the new line for my ice maker. I'm actually going to have a kitchen... yipee what will i do with all my time... LOL ok bathroom is next then finish laundryroom yuck, ok i think i am going to take a shower, all i can smell is bleach

Hi gals just a quick check in, had meetings this morning and it has been crazy, snowed yesterday and down pour this morning i look like a drowned rat Anyway, I had so many personals but i can't remember because someone walked in and i had to shrink down... i hate when that happens I'm still on cup o soup 45 cals each... yummy, i'm not even starving anymore. Tomorrow is my appt to get results, but now whatever has to happen is going to wait, leaving Friday and can't wait!!!!! Tracyk - that is awesome what you wrote about where you are... I think that is why i've not moved, not gaining, not loosing.. and i'm pretty active and healthy... but i want more now - but that is ok, either way i'm overall pretty happy,.... just cut my belly off! Love the tables Laura Here is the kitchen painted and the Island in... Monday i'll have pictures of cabinets

Haydee I feel the exact same way lately, i'm not happy with a 16 but when i was shopping last night looking at the 16 thinking it was way too big... I remember looking at a 24 thinking I can't possibly be that huge! I should be so poud of myself too! I bought my first 16's for our trip in May so it has been a long time, but it is super nice for the bloat and gas to be going away! Now if they can just fix me i'll be good. LOL Ok they can fix me after the holidays and i won't eat too much

oh no Judy... I'm going to Buffalo on Friday so you have to keep that... lol

Morning gals just wanted to check in, it is freezing here, January temps so I have to leave a little early to let my car warm up and a bunch of other crapola to make it on time. Hope you all have a great day and Thanks Laura... I'm even happier this am because it is an easy 14 and woke up and it is that time of month... that is almost unheard of... and i'm down another lb and i tried to eat yesterday.... yea... finally, even if it is being sick that got me back on track.

HI HAPPY TRACY - I'm sitting here having a drinkypoo with you went to Target to get a plaid skirt for this weekend.... and besides they didn' have one in my size (I got a black wool lined one) I actually fit ino a size 14... I know lots of you gals are in a 10, but i'm so stinking happy i can't stand myself. I've been fighting the inbetween size for months and the skirt fit perfect without tights. I got a cute red tank type thing and i'm going to wear a black sweater with it. I am so glad going down, althought i'm hungry, i went to get a bite to eat with dd and i ordered a chicken cesar salad and had 3 bites and cannot eat any more - I'll stick to soup, but trying to get protein of some kind I hope you all have a great night, i'm going to relax and go to bed, i have to get up early tomorrow for work, so much to do so i can leave Friday

Morning everyone I'm up, mom is in a bad place and the last couple of days has decided she needs to nag me to get out of bed in the morning - this does not work for me, so she left in a complete tizzy cause i was a bitch. I know she is tired and having long hard days orienting her new job, but don't nag me, it is hard enough for me to get up and i can't close my door because of my fireplace and the stupid cat jumps on me all night long. Anyway, i'm off to the hospital for some function test on my gall bladder, it is freezing in here an -18 out with the wind chill this is January temps for us and i don't like that either Jane good luck to you today too! Pamela, the kitchen will be "old mexico" tomorrow, i'll get pictures of it then and when i get home this weekend the cabinets will be up. everyone have a great da

Morning ladies i don't know why i'm awake but i am. I went to work yesterday, came home, my plumber was here getting water to my new island (YIPEE) and then i put primer on the walls and then put my final coat on the ceiling. I'll have a painted kitchen by Tuesday! I need to wait for my dad to get electric to the Island to actually use the garbage disposal and my pasta cooker but it is so nice to have running water. I'm going to take the kids to breakfast, I think i'm going to order 1 scrambled egg and see how that goes, at least it would be protein if i can choke it down. Going to finish my last couple of cut tiles and then going to kingston with my dad, which sucks because it is snowing here Hope you all have a great day

Terry Until Thursday, I did have some French Onion soup at applebees last night without the cheese,... mmmmmmmmm i'm getting my bullet out to make some shakes and going to try to get some tuna maybe tomorrow, or some scrambled eggs. I'm over the hump of being starving. I am taking my multi vitimins so i'll be ok.. Thanks for being concerned the 13th is the holiday party they are putting me up for the weekend, i'm really looking forward to it. I'm going to find something to wear this week, nothing like putting things off. LOL going for a walk around the site... it is only 18 degrees and i'm freezing

Hey good morning everyone Michelle, how sad about your neighbor Terry - YOU LOOK SO AWESOME! (and really cute too) Kat - that is horrible - I agree with Terry - can't we all just get along? Tracyk- good luck with your visit Pam - I saw a KidRock Post the other day, he has a couple of tour dates released when he gets back from overseas, 2/14 he is going to MGM Grand at Foxwoods in CT, a 21/2 hr drive for me, so i'm just praying tickets are left after the 1st of the year when I don't have the xmas expense and I'm all over that. Going to stay right at MGM and I would assume he is going to stay somewhere too, since he is there on the 15th too. I'm feeling better but have not had anything other than cup of Soup for Breakfast, lunch and dinner and sodium free broth and s/f Jello for 4 days, good thing... i got rid of some bloat and am back down to 204 from 210 on Sunday - I hope to get well into onderland being sick, with hopes that i can hold it when i'm able to eat, or at least stay in onderland, i only hit is for a day or 2 so i guess it doesn't count. I'm going for some more test on Monday and Thursday an appt with Dr. Friday I leave for Buffalo for the weekend and I'm going to finish up my secret santa present while i'm there so i can get it in the mail on the 15th. xmas cards... holy smokes, have not even started have a great day, i have to get some work done and go check on the guys. going home to paint the kitchen - i'll have cabinets next weekend!

Laura childbirth and hospitals are great... ok not really but i'm funny on pain meds and they all found me totally entertaining My electrician came in when i was typing... So Monday i do the function test and Thurs i go for a follow up I'm going to call there tomorrow, he knows it has been months of jabbing pain and knows it is my gall bladder, but if it was my kidney... why no other test? anyway, i'm going to bed, it was a long drawn out day and i'm exhausted

I'm home from work, what a mess after the ultrasound guy poked at me for 30 minutes i had tears running down my face and couldn't breathe but don't have gall stones... for some reason i knew that you don't have to have stones for your gall bladder to be bad... so then i go up to the dr and i see his resident... ya'll know where this is going right? He pokes and tells me he thinks i have an infection in my kidney..... but because i'm not having issues urinating.... it must be a blood spread infection... WHAT?????? I now have tears again and couldn't talk because he was poking the the hell out of my back and side I was 1000 times worse, i couldn't even talk. So Dr Singh comes in ... pretty much humors the resident and sends me for a CT Scan of my abdomen??? again WHAT???? that does't hurt! Anyway, he says it is a possibility but he is not saying it is not my gall bladder, there is a condition where it does not function properly... HELLO... so Monday i'm going to have a 2 hr test done on my gall blader function
