Karla Of course we will work around your schedule ;0) that's what we did this yr so that Linda could make it ;0) Got toes painted - but keep smugging them - save some $$ so just need to get nails done - will get a pedi before vacation - but in the winter time I do my own feet ;0) - I can reach them now. You need to get a coin jar - every 5 dollar bill you have goes into it at the end of the day ;0) and all your change - that's your vacation jar. Good luck on the school work - you are a better person than me ;0) don't think at this age I would take it on ;0)

Good Morning Peeps... Phyl - Jackie is one tough chickie !!! I need to go to Costco - need some steaks and dog treats... But I am so spoiled with not having to leave my neighborhood now a day.. Karla - School work & Nursery??? I bet you are pooped Candice - What are you doing today... I have gym in at 10 - nails and need to mop the floors already vacuumed the living room kitchen & office - need to do my room - got a load of wash going - and then had some kind of leak underneath the sink this morning - don't know what it was - (most likely the pull out handle) but it quit - but had to deal w/that when I 1st got up ..

Yes Phyl - I know your bday is thanksgiving ;0) - Ok we will have to do it then one weekend - I might be taking off the whole week after I get back - I have like 11.9 pto days left - they will allow 5 days carryover... I would offer to babysit - but gotta work.. I was at Fantasy Springs - so you came to my Target - what time - I was home at 2 ish.. You could have stopped by ;0)

I have been eating my vitamins (chewables) and now the skin under my rings is turning green - it' looks like my jewelry is fake ;0) instead of real..

Hugs Linda - I would be angry too - so vent away... Ya life is short and when you are burnt out (which I TOTALLY get) it's even harder. Ya I know what you mean about fur babies and going away - I have 4 !!! As far as Andrew goes - (imho w/kids period) you guide them as they grow up - but they turn out to be whom they are suppose to be - we have no real control over that. You can do all the right things teach your kids all the right things but they are going to turn out how they are meant to be.. Look at the kids who come from 2 parent homes - have a cushy life - go to college and still turn out bad - then you have the kid who has nothing was raised by a single mom & grandparents and becomes the President of the USA Imho life is pre-destined - yes we have choice but it was all planed or known what choices we would make from the day we were born.. It's not that we concisely think about that - but it's fate. I do know that I have no control over anything or anyone other than myself. I was talking to my gf last night - she was asking about childhood and about my mom - and we were talking about men in our lives - gotta say if you read a book about my life - you wouldn't beleive that I was the person I am today - or why I made those choices back then.. But all those experiences made me the person I am today.. But gotta say eating may bring temp comfort - but not like it use to - cuz now I think we feel more guilty about turning to it for comfort than we did pre-band. I know that's a fact for me.. So go shopping instead - hell if you have to work to help the retirement nest egg - then go out and reward yourself with some new bath stuff - make up - clothes - shoes - jewelry - nick nacks - whatever you want... That's what I would do - I'll show you - if I gotta work then I'm going to spend my $$$ like I want - guess you can see why I'm not marrried ;0) Karri & Steph are gone for good I think.. Sorry that they don't like us anymore - but like I said - I have no control over others and the decisions they make - hopefully one day they will come back - and I sure hope that they get all that they strive for.. Well back from bowling - 1st game 90 something - 2nd game 86 i think ;0) - did bowl one strike ;0) and a couple spares a few gutter balls. Ya next yr walk for obesity..

Well off to bowling - I'm not a good bowler - Nails get in the way ;0) - but it's fun Phyl Next yr we will do the walk for obesity .... Andrew works at the 99 cent store right by the house - you will see it next time you come over (we will plan it when I am on Vacation before Thanksgiving) A pre-bday dinner since I won't be here ;0) Ya I think so - Andrew is a take charge person - he likes thing orderly - OMG I would hate to work for him cuz he would expect the same dedication as he has ;0) - He would have to learn some PC skills ;0) But I'm very proud of him that he took it upon himself to go in on his own time and talk to the main manager about the issues that were bugging him.. Well gotta jam.. CBL

Good Morning Peeps.. Hugs Phyl on the back issues. That's a pain (literary). LOL on Earl freaking on med - I have like 5 blood pressure pills left - but won't order till I'm down to 1 - but again I just have to go to the corner to pick mine up.. Ya Bella can get too rough and her teeth are sharp.. Karla - you posted and that's what counts ;0) Have a good day !!! Well I swear Andrew calls all the time - had battery problems - told him to call AAA - then calls after work - 10 ish - I was in bed - he had a talk w/his manager the other day (he went in one morning last week just to talk to her about the condition of the store and they way things were running) - essentially tell her that they don't allow enough time to clean up the store and a certain employee wasn't doing his job - well I guess they listened - they fired the one guy - they gave them more time to clean up the store - and then the night manager tells Andrew - I got the job but it should have been yours - so he let Andrew be the night manager last night - Andrew was in hog heaven - getting to boss pple around ;0) Dinner was Fish - rice - WW fudgesicle - sf popsicle - no veggies was to lazy to cook them - since I was eating leftovers - Got bowling today - and that's about it.. Nothing exciting Next yr I think I will do the walk for obesity instead..

Candice Why would we yell at you - you haven't been anywhere... Sounds like fun...

Good Evening Gang !!! TGIF !!!! Karla - must be the moon - I could eat all my lunch w/no problem - could have eaten more - went out w/Candy to chineese - had kung pao shrimp & beef aspargus - omw the beef was to die for - so tender and the shrimp were perfect - we ordered half orders - wish we had ordered full ones - cuz I could have eaten more I don't eat alot of beef - and I use to - it was so tasty !!! Well that's about it for me - bowling for our local theater (charity event) - Sunday nails and that's about it - 6 weeks till vacation !!!!

Consider yourself bitch slapped - 62 cal in 1 cup of grapes - so you are fine and you are not going to have a problem going potty tomorrow - and it WAS better than eating 2 lbs of chocolate.... I know I still think = losing/maintaining weight - is about not eating - but that's not true - not eating makes you hold on to the weight - your body needs the fuel to burn the fat.. We use to get after Karri for eating 600 cal a day and then trying to run 10 miles at nite... Candice the costume is for bowling on Saturday - Dancing w/the Stars - I'm the star - they had me try it on to see if it fit - I gave myself the title of Star Employee .... My boss liked it so much he took a pic w/his phone - it's really a joke cuz I'm the one who talks back all the time ;0) I am a star employee about coming to work not calling in sick - and doing my job - but not when it comes to office politics ;0)

Welcome home Candice !!!

Good Morning Gang... Happy Thursday.... Karla - I think it's great that he's getting his own apt - he need to grow up and see what the real world is like - My only concern is where he's living and if it's safe.. DHS (desert hot springs) has some issues - but I think he will be fine - also the whole gas issue - but the rent is cheap too - so we will see I will go w/him on Tuesday when he signs his lease.. Hugs on the paper - I admire your determination - I couldn't do it right now.. Ok you will be having surgery while i'm gone - So hugs prayers - who's going to stay w/you?? Phyl - Hugs on Earl's up coming nose surgery - I know he will be a bit of a bear after the surgery - I know 2 pple who have had it - they were fine.. Weather says - Monday it's suppose to cool back to the 80' looking forward to it - tired of a/c and $$$ I have a funeral on Monday - you remember that joseph's God Mothers dad died a few months back - well her mom die last friday... heart attack while playing bridge - dinner was ok - those salmon patties aren't as good as the ones we had in WA but ok.. I don't think Candice will be back for a few more days... Linda - just think May May May ;0) - I would be having short timers mentality ;0) Well off to shower - ck back later

Good Evening Gang Karla - what's your date for surgery.. My x nail lady uterus hung out like the - she just had to have a hysterectomy and then they put her bladder back - Hugs on those issues.. How old is the teacher w/cancer - I think I would tell them to take it all - if there were any chance that it would come back.. Well my life is sorta boring - really busy at work - Andrew is getting an apt on 11/1 - $450 a month in Desert Hot Springs by the Vons' - Phyl do you know the area?? I don't like that he's there but I think it's good that he's going to be on his own - Janelle is moving w/him.. So next weekend gotta hit the thrift stores for a kitchen table - pots pans - dishes etc.. Had gym tonite - legs - so so work out - my knees are sorta bugging me - nothing back - just like they need oil ;0) food today - cheese Peanut Butter crackers for bf - lunch fish & salad - dinner salmon patty cajun style & veggie.. I just at about 6 potato chips - well crumbs really ;0) but would say it was about 6.. Have bowling Saturday oh - I gotta send the pic my boss took of me in the Star costume - we are dancing w/the stars and I'm a star - told them I'm the Star employee.. lol Well that's about it... Nothing exciting ;0)

I'm around - just pooped by the time I get home from the gym - I'm super busy at work w/all these new files.. Had fish & veggies last night - and for lunch today.. Doubt I will be going to yoga - it's just to late - when my gf use to go I would meet her but she's not going anymore - I will ck in later Hugs& Prayers for Earl

Linda - Ya funeral are diff now a days - more a celebration of life than the sad funerals.. My gf kathy who's Dad a few months a go - we the mom had heart attack while playing bridge - she's gone now and one of the granddaughter just lost her Dad 2 weeks ago - My heart goes out to them - I know how hard it is - I lost my parents within 1 month of each other - Funeral is Monday.. Karri's not talking to me either - I guess me saying she was a bit implusive - wasn't being supportive - I will like her stuff on fb but don't get replies - so I guess she needs to find her way - ya I saw the doc program too - and kids are loving her - it's just her idealist thoughts on changing the school system - I use to be a rebel when I was young - still am to a degree - but now go w/the flow pretty much.. Have you had a lot of bone loss - I haven't had a denisty test in a long time - but usually heavy pple don't have a problem - I guess do to all the extra weight we are carrying around is like weight training. I'm pretty sure Andrew may be home in a few months - but if not - I'm ok with it - it's going to be a bit lonely during the holidays thought - I told the kids not to come down - since I know $$ will be tight for everyone after our trip next month - but we will see what happens.. But over all I'm doing great - miss him but really don't know if I want him home - we still have the dog issue - he has another one.. cute thing - but I don't need 4 dogs.. Hugs Karla - I don't have shingles but a form of it - it's called something else (wood something) I get blister on my hand - they use to come out all the time - hell when I got married I had a giant one - now adays - I rarely get them I was reading about the same rash Candice has from those wipes - she's allergic to something in them - said to you cortisone cream - She's out and about in her new camper.. Well not much to report - dinner steak & veggies - bbq ran out of gas - good thing I like my meat rare ;0) Did arms weight training yesterday - did pretty good - I think working out w/weight in boot camp is helping to make me stronger.. Have boot camp tonite I agree about time change - I wish they would leave it on fall back ;0) or spring forward - AZ does - I wish the rest of us would too but since i get up early - I would like more light in the morning - and since it's hot here in the summer - it would be nice if the sun went down a little sooner 20 degrees - omg and it's not even winter yet.. Hugs on your Dad - I know it's sure nice to feel like that little girl again.. Tomorrow will be the 2 yr anniversary of my bro Michael's death ... Seems like yesterday - Miss him..

Karla - We won't tell her you told us ;0)... Nice that you had time w/her - all girls need their mommy time.. Dinner was fine - we went to his fav mex restaurant - had leftovers for today - it's so funny I was hungry wanted to order w/my old brain - taco enchillda & relleno - well I did order that - but the lady didn't hear taco - so just got the enchillada relleno r/b - ate half enchillada at dinner the other half around 9 - and the relleno for lunch ;0) Told him next time we will go to my fav mex restaurant.. Phyl - yep time should be changing shortly - my calendar says on halloween - but I know that bush or someone changed it - just google it - 1st Sunday in Nov - I hate that it's pitch black in the mornings ;0) (it's still dark at 6 am or should - and now it will be pitch black by 5 p.m. - evenings will be a lot longer I will be driving home from the gym in the dark - but it will be light around 5 a.m. ish instead of 6 ish... I will like that.. Well have gym tonite - will ck back when I get home

Back from gym - had some couple bite of hamburger - cuz I was hungry didn't want to eat too much cuz Andrew & I were suppose to go out to lunch - then he calls - it's now dinner ;0) he would have gone earlier - lhe said I know you like to do things earlier (I guess he paid attention to my habits) - I said then why don't we make it dinner ;0) - so 6 is our date time ;0) - so had some popcorn - watched Blue Bloods (I love this show) and a cat nap - now drinking coffee - gotta finish wash then watch this weeks blue bloods ;0)

Good Morning Gang - Bella is letting me sleep till 5;45 - in preparation for time change that should be coming soon - 4;45 ;0) when we fall back ;0) Phyl - The scalping may not be helping Earl's nose at all and when I lived in your area - I had allergy issues - rag weed I think - i know if i come out there and the wind is blowing my nose gets stuffy - have him take an allegry pill and see if that helps.. Karla - Ya I think your dog need attention - you are gone more than me - mine don't always get walked (bear and angel really can't cuz of joint issues) I need to walk bella more - but they don't tear up stuff - they are to little to get in the trash ;0) this is why I like small dogs ;0) It's ok to eat sweets everynow and then - last night I had mine - 600 cal of reese peanut butter candy (big bar) Not sure there's pilos this morning Diane said she thought it was going to be body pump (weights) I gotta call and see what's up Andrew and I are suppose to go to lunch - we will see if that happens ;0) you know kids they don't get up till late - ;0) Phyl - I got instant coffee yesterday but didn't look around - if I go today I will

Phyl that's weird - especially since zoey gets walked during the day - it's not due to lack of exercise - maybe she senses something - your dog has esp/seeier - hearing ghost outside or sensing something wrong w/neighbors ;0) lol - mine will do that little cough choking thing every now and then - angel does it from her collar when walking - little dogs have trach issues - are you sure she didn't get any meds that could have fallen on the floor.. You are right about grown kids in our house... I lost maybe $100 and didn't get a t-shirt ;0) not really sure but not more than that - I bought breakfast - and then our meals - I don't think I lost even $100 not that I think of it.. Dogs are all pooped from groomer - at least bella's nails aren't scratching me up - you know I'm older now - thin skin.. Candice - have a great trip in your new camper... Not excited yet - 7 weeks - about 1-2 weeks before I will.. Once I get my packet from the travel agent ;0) Karla - drinking coffee waiting for you to get home

Good Morning Gang.. I'm fine - it's just I am pooped - work has been a bitch - we moved files yesterday - I went in a little early and got mine done by 8 - the other pple in that office just bitch and moan - take the horse by the bridle and lead it - just do it.. Its not going to get done if you wait for someone else.. Had to play mediator between my gf who's the supervisor and another lady who over stepped her boundaries - stepped on supervisors toes - but supervisor was being unreasonable - it's all about power plays and authority - drama - drama - drama - Well I got that worked out - Then my GF Kaye came over for dinner - she's not doing well 65 or 67 I don't remember not important - any way her iron is like 8 they want to do a blood transfusion but she's a witness and she won't.. Plus heart issues too - needs a pace maker - She is the nicest person - we had a nice evening. Then Andrew calls crying - said he wants to come home - told him he could - then calls back and said they had an arugment (I said oh like us) yep but the whole family gets involved so it makes it that much more - he call's back and says he's ok - not moving back yet (;0) I think he just needed to know that he could - and yes he can - I miss him - but again enjoy the freedom of him not being here - but again miss the help w/the animals - like if I wanted to go out after work - i would have to come home and let them out and feed them.. So - that's why I have been not around - just a lot going on This morning beauty shop for 3 dogs ;0) so I will have 4 hrs of alone time - no one wanting attention ;0) Linda - so glad Mel is clear !!! You now gf need to go to the doctor... I don't think stress makes you have low bp ;0) you better go before Mx - you don't want to get sick down there - 7 weeks for me ;0) and I will be in Playa Del Carmen ;0) Karla - your food is fine - I agree more meat and now that you can eat it you should.. You will feel full on it. I graze at times too - but you need more actual meals.. Not so much snack food... Phyl - What did you buy in Vegas?? Hell I missed so much on Saturday.. The white choc is good - very sweet 1st day made the mistake of putting splenda w/it - (i do that w/my reg creamer - but with this stuff you don't have too.. Well garnders here to scalp the yard - here in the desert we have bermuda in the summer and hit goes dormante in the winter - so they cut it down to the numbs and then plant rye grass - I love rye grass - this is the sign that winter is here ;0) Phyl - it's not even hot - you guys were like 88 yesterday - Indio 94 - heck I have slept with the window and no ac for 5 nites now.. I did have the a/c on when I got home yesterday but that's cuz I was cooking and had company.. It's suppose to warm up mid to high 90's this week but cooling to mid to low 60's at night - good weather - the kind that you can open the house in the morning and evenings.. Middle of day a/c but not that much Well just wanted you all to know I'm fine - Oh ya Karla sleep is important to losing weight - pple who got 8 hrs lost more than those who don't... Bella let me sleep til 5:45 this morning ;0)

If you are stuffed then why do you need a fill - you are suppose to eat girl.. losing weight isn't about not eating - it's about eating healthy and portion control & exercise... I didn't think he really meant it - Shopping - well don't know if I will be doing that for a while - just paid off the family vacation - 7 weeks away - don't think I need anything thing and right now not WANTING anything ;0) Me too - bella is the problem now - I think I threw (not really) but put her on the floor at 4:30 I was just to freaking pooped to get up.. I didn't find any wet spots - and she went when I got up at 5 - but this 4;30 wake up isn't cutting it.. Just a drive by - I'm to tired to think or type - just wanted to say hi - I need some down time.. Linda - we need to know what's going on - hugs and prayers

Candice - Hugs on the food struggle - wish I had some magic answers - Sorry about the rash.. Not laughing ;0) just smiling Karla - Your food wasn't that bad - I don't know the calories in the sucker - but can't be that bad - looked it up 60 - as long as you didn't drown your salad in dressing you should be ok We are suppose to eat - not starve - ... Well I'm pooped too - and it makes me want to eat too - I have veggies cooking ... Think I am going to veg..

Hugs Linda that's so sad about another death - Hugs... No stories ;0) in Vegas - except on the way home I was passing some motorcycles - car got up to 100 - that was the 1st time Phyl has ever gone that fast - she told Earl and now she can't ride w/me ;0)

op never came back guess she didn't like the advice ;0)

Good Evening Gang Yes Candice I was at the Gym ;0) Boot Camp tonite ;0) got home about 6:45 ish - Sorry I missed your call.. Oh if Peters gone - I'm guessing food isn't good ?? Weathers great - have doors & windows open Took a shower - dinners done - thin pork chops cut in to bite size bites - onion - bell peppers - cajun seasoning - garlic - yellow & green squash and a little macaroni (very little) & tomato sauce Phyl - I think it's all the stuff that happen in Vegas - Just pooped - I didn't go to gym last night - I needed to go to the store and hell even then didn't get home til after 6 and didn't get everything done . Tonite had to unload dish washer (Joseph & family) used every glass in the house - had another load of towels to do - again must use a new one every time they took a shower or swam in the pool - Hell - it's 8:21 and I still haven't watched any t.v. Work - well that's a whole nother issue - they are so freaking un-originized - they give us new renewal list with the account that are changing hands - but they haven't given us the whole list of accounts that we are getting. We need to move files and that takes time - I hate not knowing what I have or don't have.. Well now I know not to let you have pancakes ;0) I have been starving all day today Take the pic's no problem - I wish we had a better one of all of us - the angle when we were getting in the limo sucks.. Karla - How's DD#4 Well I'm getting off the computer Candice - I'll be home thrusday nite ;0) non exercise nite ;0)
