Karla - LOL Christmas is about family - we all know how much we really get along or even like most of our families ;0) LOL but yes I agree - it's the time of yr that you try get everyone together and get along for 1 day :0) well that day and Thanksgiving ;0) I am having my stepbro & his gf (who i DISLIKE) and my Uncle over on Xmas Eve - (I'm off) We are having Tamales (which I am buying) so all I have to prepare is some rice & beans - my Uncle is bring a pie - I may make some Christmas Cookie for them & Andrew - and of course a few for me. Hugs on Simon - I sure hope that boy makes it - he's had a rough go of it in his short life ... I remember you having to take him to vet often.. Hope you had a good visit w/realtor and enjoyed your coffee... Candice Glad you got out of the house... Enjoy dinner - See you when you get home Phyl I know you have a lot of parties before you leave on Sunday - have you enjoyed them...

Good Morning Gang.... Candice more snow... Yep I bet you guys are sick of looking at each other ;0) - Hope you make it out for dinner ;0) Karla - Strawberry ice cream wouldn't call my name either - Hope your prime rib was good - toast is ok - just not the whole loaf - have you been on the scale since surgery ?? Phyl - So Jodi isn't a house keeper and that's what the whole problem is - is there some jealousy between Jodi & Tracy.. Hugs - Next year just stay here in the desert - don't go home.. You and Earl are better than me - I refuse to deal w/the traffic on Christmas Eve & the to come home the day after Christmas - plus with 3 dogs - traveling isn't ideal. The kids will have to come to me for Christmas if they want us to be together.. Well didnt get home til 7;30 last night Weight training then Hot Hula - It was fun - Well a quick ck in before the shower - cbl

Candice WTG on getting out there - hell just getting dressed was a workout !!!! I don't think I would walk a mile for some bread - doubt I would walk anywhere for food unless it was absolutly necessary - and bread isn't one of those necessities ;0).. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who isn't decorating :0) ... You couldn't come an get me if the freeways are closed ;0) - I would be stuck at the friggin airport ;0) and its way to far to walk ;0)... Well we could see if there were any dog sleds for hire :0) LOL.. Phyl - Busy Girl - What in the heck can Jodi be mad at you for.. You are our social butterfly alright... Not going to Hawaii ;0) anytime soon - that I know of anyway.. Karla - I'm with you, I am a bit of a hermit myself - most of my family are/were - I can go out and about for a bit - but then need my down time - I have enought to keep me busy - but again I still work - so I think that makes us relish our down time - when you are retired - the down time is all the time so you need to fill it up then you are right back at square one - with too much on your plate.. Shipping - Why didn't you use the Post Office Flat rate box.. Hula in gym clothes :0) - I don't know if I will continue this class - it's 6:30 to 7:30 - I really like being home before 7:30 at night - it makes for a short nite.. (t.v. - dogs - dinner - computer etc)

Hawaiian Hula Exercise Class ;0)

Good Morning Peeps !!! Candice - You haven't decorated??? That makes me feel good :0).. Just don't have the get up to do all that work just to have to take it down in a couple weeks - and hell even when I do feel like decorating - I hate taking it down - don't till after the 1st of the yr and even then it can be 1/15 and my tree will still be up - lol.. Well this yr I don't think Christmas and getting to your place would happen - we would end up stuck at the airport... Traveling in the winter .. Stay warm - that's just too much snow - saw it right now on the news... I would hate being house bound after a couple of days ... Karla - Sound like you had a great time - yep save your $ - you need to start a vacation fund - you would love the Desert in the winter - not to hot and we don't have snow - but if you want snow we can go to the mountains... Oh - Karla - I need your new address - email it to me please !!!! I think I am going to try Hula tonite at 6:30 a new class is starting - and the gym is sorta bare this time of yr - so Diane and I are going to try it out - have weights training at 5 - then 6:30 going to hula - going to look like a dork - but will get some exercise ;0) Phyl How are things today - what did you do yesterday - getting ready for your trip home.... Well gotta get ready for work - cbl Karla - email me please

Karla - how about he skips ;0) - Sure glad he's doing better.. Don't really no what was wrong yesterday just quesy and the tmi - ok today ;0) but would love to retire.. I know I would find something to do ;0).. Have fun at your party tonite ;0)... I don't have this yr.. I guess I am just not doing too much Christmas this year at all... Pple here at work were bugging me why I wasn't decorating - told them just too much work just for me and the dogs ;0)... Don't know I'm just pooped ;0) Just day to day stuff is enough to keep up with - then you add Christmas. Well maybe next yr I'll have more time (won't schedule family vacation) and will be more in the mood for it.. Phyl - you are the Grandparents - Age alone is the reason that they should be driving to see you and bring the kids to you - I think that's the priviledge of our age and grandparent status... Maybe they are just bah humbug. Yep 60 miles 120 miles round trip is too much - Don't her and Tracy get along or what... I would think they would want to be w/the whole family on Christmas.. But again this is coming from a girl who has only 1 sibling left - if my Sis was just 60 miles I would go there for Christmas for sure ... Yep back on tract - so much so I have boot camp tonite. Candice - I know I heard just a tad when napping yesterday about the cruise ship - yep lightening doesn't strike twice - if seas were that bad - don't think there was much the capitan could do ... Storms... 30 ft swells - I know that I would be sea sick for sure with those kind of swells .. Hugs on your snow - Ya sometime Walmart is the most exciting thing to do - for me it's target & marshalls since they are across the street.. Well at least if I lived there I would be getting snow days - but losing power - well that would be a bitch - can't watch t.v. or get on the computer - and I'm read a book on my eread that needs charging every 6 hrs ;0).. Well just a quick ck in- bored at work - not motivated today... Maybe tomorrow ..

Good Morning I stayed home from work yesterday - tummy wasn't good had the trots in the a.m. then slept on and off most of the day - and had cream of ck soup for dinner - (not good - how come it use to taste good) and was even able to sleep all nite - must have had a touch of something. Karla - virus not good - hope you got it fixed.. Phyl - Family issues Xmas - is hard trying to get everyone together.. I am sorta glad I'm not doing anything - well am suppose to cook - but may no do that... Well just want to pop in - going to work today - tummy is fine... cbl

Good Morning Peeps Had a great time yesterday - good friend, wine & food.. Phyl gave me the cutest earring she made ;0) Am feeling a little yucky this morning - tummy just a tad upset - Don't why (hope it wasn't my food - it tasted good last night and was fresh)- had bad heartburn from the wine - had one little glass - Tired - dumb dogs had me up at 4 - but went back to bed but never got to sleep..

Karla I'm not decorating this yr ;0) Kids aren't coming Andrew's not here - just me and the dogs - and it's 2 weeks to Christmas - too much junk to pull out for 2 weeks... I'm not really celebrating this yr - ;0) We had our Xmas - going on Vacation - Will send cards for Xmas - got Andrew a few things (blanket - Lost season 1 $19.99 - DVD $19.99 couple $3 DVD ) Ya sounds like the roomate is the cause - I don't think you are a bad mom for telling it like it is - I would - that's just the kind of person I am.. I don't keep my mouth shut either Candice - I got the 2.5 lbs with in the week - I weighed when I got home Sat or Sun - and then Weighed in on Thursday the 2.5 were gone - I didn't eat to many starches this past week - Ate lots of veggies & protein... Glad your gig was a success ;0) - Yep unless you are a trained professional or the flub was major I know I wouldn't notice either ;0) Well just waiting for Phyl & Earl & Zoey.. We will toast you all - it's 80 in the shade ;0) - got cheese/salami crackers humus for appetizers - chick cactatorrie main meal - fake cheese cake pudding (greek yogurt) for dessert - Pinto Giegiro - Melot wines ...

Good Morning.. Karla Where are you Candice - Glad you didn't get killed ;0) and my gosh girl didn't know you were such a control freak - leave the guy's hair alone ;0) - Band pple look diff than others - lots have long hair ;0) even jazz pple ;0) all that matters is that he's not a serial killer and plays well.. Those extra calories will help the weight loss - It did for me during my weight loss phase and remember this is a lifetime change not a diet... I was just chilling yesterday really - I get on the computer and don't get any down time - so yesterday didn't sign back on once I got home around 1 ish - I wanted to nap but really couldn't - Watched a movie - Family Wedding it was cute.. Weather this weekend in the 80's - Since Phyl & Earl are snow birds they wear sandals & shorts - us desert rats are in closed in shoes and long pants - yesterday when I left in the am - it was still chilly - had on boots and long sleeves - plus the stores are so cold now a days - when I got home changed into capri jammies and last night did sleep in a summer gown ;0) Next week suppose to be back in the 60's and maybe some rain - nice winter weather for us - I can wear my winter clothes - which really are your summer evening clothes ;0) Phyl - Yep you need to chill - I got 2 bottles of Middle Sis wine - don't know if it's any good - got a white & red - but I liked the names - so you will have a well deserved rest this afternoon.. Love the cart - it came our really nice - if you click on save you can see them smaller - but you can see them ok.. Next yr don't do the pics or make sure that at least 3 or 4 others are doing them too.. Yesterday - did a little shopping (forgot coffee) watched t.v. - read. cleaned - Andrew came by between jobs - made him some mac & cheese to go w/the ribs I made - but he just ate mac & cheese - showered and went to 2nd job - proud of that boy !!!! Well got gym at 10 - target to get coffee - home and get ready for Phyl & Earl & Zoey - gotta get Bella pretty too ;0) CBL

Good Morning Gang... Hope you all got a good nite sleep... I was just thinking that before boot camp I would be at the gym by now (7 a.m.) on the treadmill ... But Sunday I didn't exercise now I go to Pilos.. Things do change - just like this site - I can get to my normal threads - but I hate that I don't get notified if I post on another - I don't like email notification - junks up my already junked up mail box.. Well not too much planned for the day - clean up - need to do a little shopping and thats about it.. How are you feeling this morning Karla.. Candice what are your plans.. Phyl have you recovered from your busy day - I saw your pic's on FB but none of you - I want to see you in your red hat outfit - OMG some of those women have outrages outfits..

Karla - We aren't silly for loving our animals - They are our kids... When you posted about Simon I could just imagine the pain you all were going through - Hugs Hugs Hugs Candice I know the pic make it look huges - like I said I took a pic of my plate once to show someone what I ate - never posted it cuz it looked like I was eating off a full big girl plate - I think we need to put a big girl plate next to the ones we eat off and try and take a pic - I think the size diff would show up then.. It's going to take a minute to adjust to each other :0)... Relax ;0) Chill - it's going to be ok ;0) are you going to smack me too ;0) Candice - Tater are good every now and then - I do the every couple of months - Since I have been vacation I have been staying away from starches - I gained like 2.5 lbs on vacation - and by thrusday (yesterday) had them off - I ate more sugar & starches on vaca than I normally do - quesdilla - dessert every night, fufu drinks etc - but getting back to eating healthy & the gym - they came right off.. Karla - Nope on the water ;0) not drinking enough but on exercise days I am better - you aren't eating enough food to have a bm - so don't sweat it - nothing in nothing out... Broth doesn't create a poop LOL ;0) How funny you can't eat mashed taters - I made instant and they were on the soupy side - I like my taters that way ;0) I think you may be doing too much .... Rest Rest Rest Phyl - Clear your cache & delete your cookies - then hit multi on all the pple you want to quote even the last on - me as of right now then scroll down to the button that says "Add Reply" - That's how I can multi quote and change my fonts.. OMG your queen - sounds like a major pain in the butt - w/those many pple you need more than 2 pple shooting pics.. WTG on your 2/10 !!!! Loss and not a gain !!! Karla - Hugs again on poor Simon - $300 isn't bad - hope he has some pain meds... Yep I bet he will be a little shell shocked.. Sweetie - don't sweat the not eating - you will get your appetite back soon enough ;0) just think the lbs will be coming off - lol - but you do need some nourishment ;0) Well back from the Gym - only 1 more week of having to workout on friday night - I hate working out on Fridays - it's kick back night

Good Morning Gang I went grocery shopping after work and had a major headache when I got home - didn't feel like posting ;0)... So watched t.v. instead.. Candice - I took a pic once to show someone on my other thread what a plate should look like - it looked huge !!! and I too eat off dessert/sandwich plates :0) That pic of mash taters made me hungry for them - I rarely eat them - but had some last nite w/my bbq chicken ;0) 1/2 cup - I rarely measure cuz the bowls I use are 1 cup bowls. I think it will take time to a adjust to a new person ;0) - you sign softly - so boost you voice or turn up the mic ;0) - It will be ok and some days we just don't feel like being nice ;0)... Karla - Ya if he cried about simon he can't be all bad.. Truly my heart was hurting for simon - our animals are our babies... Phyl was busy yesterday - with red hats and marine band - she should be posting today... gosh it's 5:30 already - where does the time go.. I figured dinner for sunday - Chicken Cacatorrie ;l)

Rest - Glad you got out of the house !!!! Praying for Simon - This has been bugging me all day.. I am worried about your doggie - well really DD doggie - but you had him and use to talk about him ;0) No one is going to yell - but you do need your nutrtion to heal ;0) - go rest

l clicked to save pic and got it smaller - meal looks very good - but gotta say the pic makes it look like a cup of taters and 1/2 c gravy ;0) but I know pic's can be deceiving - are you measuring your food or weigh it ??

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! JUST LIKE HER MAMA ;0) !!

What is it - when you click on the pic it's too big to see - looks fattening though :0) Karal - How's simon --- Hugs

Oh Karla - My heart is breaking about Simon - Jackies doing great and so is Courtney (124) I guess she had a rough go of it for a while - but is doing great right ow ... Candice Bella jumped up to give me kisses - little teeth nicked me - it hurt :0) - LOL - I can't wait to tell Andrew that he has 3 50+ women who want to marry hime :0) - lol - I have never eaten at cold stone - but guess will have to try it :0) Hugs - Karla - Hugs - my heart is breaking to think of him hurt - hope it turns out ok.. Too much snow.... gotta get back to work ;0)

Good Morning... Candice you are up VERY early this morning ;0) Dogs had me up at 4;30 but went back to bed but never got to go back to sleep.. OK I will do cross country - as long as it's like gliding ;0) no snow shoes :0) I would look like nanook of the north - all bundled up LOL Not much to report - ate 2 shrimp tempura's (costco) I can't eat very much of them they fill me up really fast - only a couple bites of spinach - but had my 100 cal snack pack of popcorn - wasn't hungry just munchies - and slept well - till Andrew called at 10:30 to tell me his 2nd day at his 2nd part time job (cold stone ice cream shop) was better than the 1st - told me about all these great ice creams - will have to go there on one of my treat days and have him fix me one.. Phyl - Have fun today - don't over do it ;0) but enjoy - Looks like we are going to have good weather on Sunday ;0) Karla how are you this morning - feeling a little better ...

Hugs Hugs Hugs Hugs Karla - take your meds - have a good cry and get some sleep - Hope your proplaspe doc finds you another doctor... He's (the one you went to) is a Freaking AH... Candice - I sent her a message on FB - Just want to make sure she' ok - I know last time she posted that she was having more tummy issues - Phyl's about 1/2 hr from me - not that far :0) and that's driving just a little over the speed limit - not 100 mph LOL ;0) Oh I am glad to know I 'm not the only one who has to do it - Bear & Angel are pretty well trained but Bella isn't at all ;0) Candice - I would have to buy a whole wardrobe - I have nothing warm enough for the snow - don't know about cross country skiing - but would like the sledding OMG I AM POOPED JUST READING WHAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR PLATE TOMORROW ;0) Well as you can see I got multi to work - hit multi then add reply at the bottom - not like the old way where you hit reply on last persons post..

Looks really good - got that divorce.. Well it's 8 - having tempura shrimp (baked) spinach - need to go watch my soap - it's been really good for the last few weeks Hugs & Love Janet

I hate it too !!!! I was reading somewhere - that if you go to you browers options you can do ad blocker and they say all the ads are going - I don't get pop ups - just the dumb ads on the side that - I don't pay no mind too .. All that snow is why I don't live in Canada as much as I loved it 2 summers ago... Hell no - thats too much freaking snow to live in - nice for a weekend visit - as long as the house is stocked and you got some good books - electricity and a fire place ;0) - but to live in it - Nope - I'll take my 120 summer days over that snow any old day ;0) Yep I agree about all the candy out there - Lunch room here has candy cookies galorie in it - but I have made a pledge to myself not to indugle - I don't need the junk - it just makes me want more - and you know what I really got say that most of the time - it doesn't taste as good as I remember it tasting when I was pre-banded - Don't get me wrong - somethings still do taste as good - and as we all know those are slider - but what happens when we eat them we gain weight - do we really want to do that - I thought we all got banded I will be back they are taking the computer dowen

I'm a big Weight Watcher fan - imho it's the most well rounded healthy eating plan out there - you get your fat/starches/protein/dairy/veggies & fruit ..

Phyl - You are making the effort to go - Maybe someone needs to get a new machine ;0) they do wear out Ok Sunday - It's a date... You got any request for a menu - something you love but never get at home w/Earl ) Angel & Bear have learned not to run out when I am pulling the car in the garage - but Bella - nope she comes running and cuz she's running to me - Angel - comes too - Angel doesn't like it when I give either Bear or Bella attention When I leave in the mornings I have to pull out the car - then come back in and go out the front door as Bella will follow out the doggie door - so leaving my house is a pain in the butt and coming home too - they are so little I can't see them an am afaird of running them over.. I would just die.. Ok gotta get back to it (work) ;0) CBL

Karla Since I only had one kid - I was always afraid of that - (having Favorite) Since Andrew is more like my Son than GS - But I do love him differently than the Girls - and I think it may show sometimes - but again I think Kaitlin understands (I hope) that I consider him my DS - Brooke is to little to understand - I know Joseph is jealous of me & Andrew.. I think we all love the pple in our lives a little differently - I have more than one BFF - Each has a diff quality that I like about them - we love them but they all have diff traits that we are drawn to - and in some cases - we just suck it up and love them even when we don't like them most of the time lol... Glad you are ok - Yep keep us posted on Dr Visit..

Good Morning Gang Thankfully I have a short week ;0).... Gym again tonite.. Phyl - How about Sunday since then we can have day light ;0) and sit on the patio - gotta warn you - house is decorated for Xmas - Don't know if it will this year.. Sunday ... What time around 2 ish so that we can visit and we will eat around 5 Karla - where are you... Candice - What are your plans today.... I'm constipated ;0) tmi - not drinking enough water - plan today - drink water !!!!
