TracyK

Good morning violets~ I wish I could reach out and give you all great big hugs! (((jane))) (((pamela))) (((kat))) (((jenn))) and for anyone else....here ya go :smile2: I hope you all have a fantastic day! Good news about the holidas/weight is that I was only back up to 207.5 and considering the CRAP I ate??? that is totally awesome! I prayed before stepping on the scales, really. Hey, where is TracyinKS?

Laura-how funny was it that the annoying guy on survivor tried to use that fake immunity necklace?! I LMAO!

Kat...I feel so bad for you and the hives :cursing:

Laura-Russell needs to know. Especially since your mom said she doesn't want his family @ Christmas....won't he wonder why? He has the right to know. Just MHO...

:cursing: My vote is boy as well.

Is Dec 14th too late to mail my secret santa gift? How well does the mail work during Christmas?

:thumbup: Hi PAMELA!!!!!

Terry-I can eat a chicken sandwich (crock pot chicken) on white bread too(minus the crust). I know I need a fill but am SO scared of being reduced to just eating oatmeal & soup!

Is it still a holiday or somethin'? Where is everyone?

Wow Judy, I looked at those pics and then looked out my window at the sunshine and said a quick 'Thank you God' prayer. I would love snow every once in a while but my goodness...that is amazing! Welcome back Haydee!

No Kidding! :thumbup:

Terry you are right...we all forked the cake before it went in the garbage!! LOL Michelle-good thing I had thrown that cake away before you posted that pic...I would have been oeffnded! LOL :thumbup: Judy-yes I felt like superwoman after I threw it away!! Good morning violets! Cyber Monday....whatever. Just means everyone else but me can shop and get deals with no shipping fees....lol Have a great day everyone and make healthy choices! ITS MONDAY! (((Pamela)))

UPDATE: The cake is now in the trash. I felt horrible throwing it away but I knew I could not keep it in this house. YAY ME!

Good morning everyone! Terry-it isn't old age that makes us go to sleep early, is it? :thumbup: I am sticking with the 'I wake up early so I need to go to bed early' theory. I was asleep by 9 last night too but I wake up at 5 or earlier every day. My internal clock still has not let me start sleeping late. Denise-awww, I know how you must be feeling. God knows what is best. Let us know what happens. Judy-that is alot of snow! I am sure your neighbor will bail you out. Unless you may have done something to piss them off....have you? :w00t: lol Jane-yours isn't the only person whos eating has sucked! YIKES...I am not getting ont he scales until maybe Wednesday. TracyinKS-I wanted some of those pajamas for dd too but luckily when we went to walmart later they still had them on sale so I got her some. What kin of candy did you all make? Kat-I wanted to take christmas pics this year too but time (and money) has really went quick this year! Maybe we will take some New Years pics. We (dh, me and all the kids) haven'thad a family pic done since '03 when macy was 4 months old! Michelle-Do you still have relatives over or have they gone? I wish I had a big house that way relatives could come and stay. Better yet, I wish we lived closer to my family. Haydee-how was the house hopping holiday? I would be so sick of food! (but I would still eat at both places :wink2:) Laura-how is your rash thing? I hope it is better because those things are so bothersome and itchy! Suzie-did you have to go in early today too? Jenn-How are you feeling? Any more gall bladder trouble? I rememer when I had trouble with mine. I was so miserable and it was a happy day when I had it removed! Pamela-I hope the celebration of your dads life was wonderful. We sure do miss you here girlfriend! I have thought about you everyday and said a prayer for you and your family. (((hugs))) *forgive me father* I found this recipe and made it ysterday and now I have a pan of this stuff in the fridge that truly is EVIL and needs to be destroyed. It is called 'better than almost anything' cake OR 'gooey chocolate caramel' cake. Anywho, it is german chocolate cake mix, bake the cake 13x9, let it cool, poke holes in it an inch apart, pour in a can of sweetened condensed milk over the top into the holes, then pour a jar of caramel sauce into the holes, then spread a tub of cool whip over the top, then sprinkle crumbled up heath bars on the top. OMG...have I gone mad? :w00t: I will post a pic of it! Anyway...it is future trash can material. Have a great day everyone and make healthy choices!

wow, so quiet!! I found the obit too. I guess I was just too much of a dufus the first time to do a search for his name...then Kat said she did found it that way and I was thinking DUH...it was a blonde moment for me I guess. Our lights are up on the house :thumbup: I haven't had lights up outside in YEARS. Hope everyone is having fun. (((hugs)))

Good morning everyone- Our tree is up! DH went to walmart for me yesterday and bought the one that they had on supersale yesterday morning It isn't as big around as I am used to and I am glad of that. It is a 6.5 ft prelit tree. I love it. We bought some new decorations for it and all 3 kids helped decorate. Good times Hope to hang lights outside today. Back on the wagon today after a 2 day binge. Time to get sober again. I wish I had a 12 step meeting I could go to so I will just check in here often. Hope you all have a great day! Make healthy choices!

Judy-I was able to open it but then I did not know which obit was his.

(((Jen))) hope you feel better!

Hi ladies! I am just doing minimal shopping today...like walgreens lol Did you all hear about the man that worked @ walmart that got killed by the stampeding customers this morning? UNREAL! We put our tree up today and we need some new decorations so we will brave target or walmart later to get some. I have eaten too much...yes, less than I used to be able to eat but still too much. It is OK though, it's the holidays. Have a great day everyone.

Yumm...the food was so good! I had already told myself I was not gonna weigh again until next week anyway. No big deal. I have been bouncing around like a ping pong ball with the weight so I would much rather just call it 206 and weigh a week from now and see 206 then instead of a bunch of ups & downs between there...too much of a rollercoaster. When I lost weight before, I could weigh every day with no problem but NOW I can see I can't do that any more. Besides, I am starting to get on Judys nerves. lol Hope everyone enjoyed their day. I did

by the way, the 204.5 was just temporary. It was nice while it lasted. Back to 206.5 today. I think I will ask santa to get me some new scales. Oh well, I will just enjoy my day today and jump back with the program tomorrow.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!!! GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE :grouphug: HAVE A GREAT ONE VIOLETS
