Good Morning and Happy Saturday, I'm so glad Abi is doing well, phew what a relief. Nothing worse than taking a child to surgery... breaks your heart. Congrats on the new Oreo, love the name. I think Abi did a good job with the name, now my DD would have named it something like princess sparkle fairy !!!! Cindy, I'm with you on the early packing. I usually make a list and start working off of that and exactly like you said, every little bit helps. Piano is awesome!! glad DD found something she is interested in. I have hearing loss in both ears and always wanted to play an instrument but never did b/c of that so WHOOOT to her. Sherry Sherry Sherry...... I'm sorry your down on your WL but just like Cindy said...you have to look at that whoppin 75 lbs as a positive. Put it back on (mentally) and imagine how you would feel then ???? Yeah...thats right.... bet you feel better now. And just think... your gonna be able to walk that park SOOOOOOOOO much better with out all that weight. Your doing awesome so don't kid yourself and you are so pretty that nobody is gonna look at the little tires(so you say) on your back... give me a break... we are so hard on ourselves it isn't funny. So my dear...when you go away don't you dare think about anything but how GREAT you look... and you do. SO THERE ! PFFFFFFFT ! Crispy..... you smack her around a bit will yah... both of you ladies are beautiful. Betty boop ! whats shakin girlie ?? how are you feeling these days? Darcy, Beanie... I miss you girls. Nothing happening here, sosdd...working like an animal. We finally hired an Admin to help me out but when she will start ..... I have no clue. Monday I have a HUGE meeting and I know I'm gonna pee on myself right before it starts LOLOL, I'm so nervous about it. I know its gonna go fine...but the first time is always a doozie. Boss bought me a new laptop so on days my DD is sick I can work from home... how stinkin cool is that.... sargent turned out to actually be a decent guy...despite his nasty comments not long ago... wacky huh. WL is the same...not !!! I'm just eating alllllllllllllll stinking day, yesterday I ate, no lie... all day..junk junk junk.... this morning I felt a sugar hang over. I don't know why...the more stress at work the more food is on my mind and it won't stop. Its like a drug. Anyway.... thats about it... I refuse to clean this weekend and I'm just gonna relax. Yeah.... thats it LOL. TTYL I miss you all sooooooooo much.

Hi Everyone, nice to meet you. Yes I'm from the North but just wanted to pop in and say hello .

Good Morning I'm home today...nasty cold LOL We went to PA and even though it was raining we still had fun. Went shopping by the Amish and boy oh boy, what great stuff we found. Gonna go back out and pick up some out door furniture. PRAYERS FOR ABI !!!!! GOOD LUCK !!! Betty glad DH made it home yesterday okay, we had some horrible rain here too.... thanks hurricane BARRY (I call him hurricane bast**d) LOLOL I'm with ya on the pool exercise, thats what I'll be doing. Kat the grand canyon sounds GREAT!!! I hope you get to go. The disc your making sounds beautiful, I'm sure its gonna bring tears to your parents (prob you too lol). Sherry you dog... exercising 3 days??? WHOOOT!!!!!! you go girl, I'm proud of you too. Cindy.. so what instrument did your dd select? I always wanted to play a musical instrument but with two ears that have hearing loss...ummmm forgedaboutit :guess Whatcha doing this week? ... Patty, Beanie, Pat, Darccccccy, and the rest of you chickies... come out and play .

Hi Girls, My stars Cindy.... I think your family is related to mine. Money sure does change people. I dread to think whats gonna happen when my Mom passes...thats when my brothers fangs will come out. They won't lift a finger to help her but when it comes down to that time, they surely will have their hands out first.... what can you do. Money sure does show a persons true colors doesn't it. Your not alone and you certainly don't need to keep people like that in your life. You don't deserve it and neither does your DD or DH. So how is everyone this beautiful weekend? I am going to PA for a few days starting tomorrow and today I woke up with a hum dinger of a cold..nice huh. I haven't been away in 17 years....figures LOLOL haaaaa! gotta laugh. Sooo today I'll be cleaning the crud out of my house b/c my friend is staying here while we're gone..... Yes a friend, not a family member...that should tell you something LOL. My fill went well but I don't think it made any difference...I can still eat a ton of food LOL well not a ton but alot. So after vacation I'll prob go back and get a weeeeeee bit more. Well I'm gonna go and read up on May's thread some more.... bbl Miss you guys so much. We should have a replacment in the office in a week or two so I'll get a break and may be able to sneak in here during the week. .BBL .

Hi Girls, Happy Memorial Day... bitter sweet day wouldn't you say :drum: I'm pooped, I was SUPPOSED to clean the house this weekend but since the pool is open...forgedaboutit!! I really have to clean it b/c my friend is babysitting my dog / house next weekend (sunday - tuesday) so we can go to hershey park with dd. I'd hate for the house to be messy. Its not dirty, just so much chit all over the place. Anyway... Sales today...gonna get new sneakers and a fancy new washer / dryer, the new top loading one. The colors are cool, they have an awesome red but it won't match my decor so we'll prob go blue or white. The fill is working some what, I'm not hungry in the morning which feels devine...but at night I can pound down the food... oy... Heck I'll take it !!! I'm at 2.5 in the band and hate to get any tighter b/c shooot I'd be afraid....vedddddddddddddddy afraid LOLOL. Anywhooo... I gotta run and shower. Have a blessed day all. Luv yah !! SHERRY !!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad your DS is doing better. I'm glad he's cautious with driving...good for him. Dianne !!!! good luck with the new job hunting/getting :tea: bye kids. Where's BEANIE ??

Hi Girls, Its hot out there....love it ! Sherry, 75 is a little to cold for me but lots of people like it cooler than warmer. Cindy the weather sure is crazy LOL, but I'll take the warmer over the colder. How's things toots ? Mndy enjoy your cake Oh well back to the kitchen to cut up a watermellon. I bought a Richard Simmons steamer and I'm gonna test it out tonight with some fish and veggies.... ((((Crossing fingers)))) I love fresh veggies but hate the hassle of cooking them so I'm hoping this steamer will help. Okay kiddo's toodles

Good Morning and Happy Memorial Weekend :hug: Its a bittersweet weekend wouldn't you agree...... I am just so proud and blessed to live in this country. To our Military Men and Women....who are still living and to those who have passed, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!! I am sooooo PROUD of each and every one of you.... THANK YOU!!! But mostly I want to THANK THE ONE who gave us all... JESUS !!!! Have a blessed Memorial Weekend everyone 396........ tell your wife CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to bandland. And darling don't feel like a wimp... women are naturally stronger (((( hehehehe just kidding )))). .

Hi Honey I'm Home I am so looking foward to three days off uhhhhhh. Its warm here in jersey, me and DD just got out of the pool. Swimming in NJ in May is unheard of LOL, most people only take the covers off their pools this weekend and it usually takes a few weeks for the water to warm up. The water was 85 degrees tonight, perfect. Patty I'm glad things are calming down and your feeling better. Yes it takes a few weeks to feel some what normal so be careful. Happy Birthday to the boys. Sorry to hear Ex make a stupid call as to leave the boys unattended for that long WTH is wrong with him. Kat, how is Rick feeling? Chrispy you look BEAUTIFUL !!! that dress and flowers are so pretty. Cindy, Sherry, Betty and the rest of you gals, I'll check in tomorrow and post some more. Luv yah's !!!!! Eileen

One more thing...what the hell is those little things at the bottom of each post ?? Dig a post? Add post to Del.icio.us ? Furl this post ?????

Ohh... I'm getting a fill on the 23rd.... Boy can I eat alot of food and its time to CHIT or get off the pot so to speak. I need to start losing weight again. I was to comfortable with the amount of food I was / am able to eat... I was enjoying it but its time to break away from that feeling or I'm doomed. My last fill was over 6 months ago so I should be okay. Summer's here (almost) and I need to get into smaller pants :mad:

Good Morning Everyone !! Cindy, I'm so sorry to read about your friends passing :mad: what a sad sad thing to say the least. Bravo to him for being a doner...what a brave soul. Kat, my stars... I pray Rick has some easy days before his surgery. When it rains it pours huh. They can do some amazing things these days for sure... thank God for research. Patty, girl, I'm so glad your feeling better every day. Welcome WELCOME WELCOME to bandland. One little bit of advice I would give is DO NOT lift anything or do any exercise until your doc says so (6 weeks I believe) you don't want to break anything inside or create scar tissue. 6 weeks is nothing and will go fast... Make the boys vaccum and what ever else you need done... just heal. Also stick to your doc's diet for the first few weeks, its soooo important in the healing process and you'll love the weight melting off. Sherry how are you feeling hon since your unfil? Glad your Mom's day was good. Betty, glad your testing came out good.... now you have me scared LOLOL Yow are you feeling love? how's those lovely flowers in your yard? Deb, how goes your WL ??? things okay? Its going to rain here this weekend so I'll be doing a lot of cleaning. I need to clean the house b/c in 2 weeks we're gonna head on off to Hershey Park for a few days and my friend is staying at the house....don't want her seeing what a slob I really am LOLOL So I'll start cleaning today (since the weekend is all the time I have to clean oy). We had a tornado hit our street on Wednesday...it did damage to the neighborhood but missed my house THANK YOU LORD !!!! We had a tree just miss our picture window in the front of the house, it cracked the siding instead pheeeeeeeew......Sitting here looking out my front window, all I see is a massive tree busted in half laying in the road. It took down my neighbors chimney, rooted up trees, wires were on fire in the streets...look like a war zone that day coming home and the storm was a quick 1/2 hr long MAYBE. I think the rest of the folks in town have power now. God Is Good !!!!!!! Pat, Darcy, Beanie oh Beanie I miss you..... Chrispy Girl, Mandy...anyone else I'm sorry if I missed you *WAVE*

PATTY ~ LOVE YOU !!! I'll catch up tomorrow

Congratulations !!!!

Great Posts !!! Happy Mothers Day Everyone My Mom is the strongest person I know. She was taken away from her parents when she was 11 years old by the Nazi's in poland....never to see her family again (she saw so much evil as a child its amazing). She survived and after the war she worked in a camp serving US soldiers (thats where she met my dad). When my dad returned to the US, my mom followed shortly. She married my dad who was an alcoholic and who's family did not like my mom. They kept calling her a Nazi and treated her really bad. My mom had 7 kids (me the youngest)... she cleaned two houses a day plus ours to help feed us. My dad passed away when he was 54 years old of cancer... Mom kept us together and strong. She survived the death of her eldest son who died when he was 34 and the death of her eldest daughter who was only 45 years old when she died. My Mom is a pillar of strength. She is 79 years old with the energy of a 30 year old... she can run circles around me with out breaking a sweat. Talk about strong... all 5 feet 3 inches of her. Not only did she teach us right and wrong, she taught us how to love Jesus Christ. My Mom is the best and I thank God for her every day.
