  1. Let's see...

    It snowed last night.:angry::cursing:

    My mother is visiting for an undetermined length of time.:ohmy:

    Found out that a job I really really want pays LESS than I am making now, and would require me to move - at my expense.:sad::smile:

    It snowed last night.:frown:

    DH was just informed that their company is having a 2 month (or more) shutdown beginning the week before Christmas.:thumbdown:

    It snowed last night.

    My organization laid off 2 employees in the summer; I have 'absorbed' the work of one of them, plus my own work. No extra money or glory.

    Did I mention I hate winter....well, actually I wouldn't mind it if the temperatures were warm/hot. This below freezing, and snow stuff sucks....

    HOWEVER, I am maintaining a size 8 (although just barely after my vacation, but still doing it).

    Sorry about the bad stuff Tap. I love the size 8 though! Hang in there. Winter will be over eventually. (I hope)

    Slim, heck if we had known all it took was not having a car to deter Mommy Dearest, I woulda come and "stole" it!!! Hope she steers (yeah pun kinda intended) clear for a loooooong while!

    Missed ya around here....welcome home.

    Sorry you are having work issues. I seem to have spoken too soon about MIL. Seems she "loves" me now. She has called me just to "talk" twice now. Then she mentions that she needs DH to take her to the store tomorrow. Of course, she KNOWS he doesn't have a car to take her in. She was hoping (I'm sure) that I would jump in there and volunteer. I have to work tomorrow. DH is still trying to hook me into it. I am not doing it.


  2. Hi Slim!! **Tap bounces excitedly and waves both arms and grins broadly**

    It is soooo good to 'see' you; now we need all the news!

    HI SLIM! :thumbdown::w00t::angry: *waving wildly, grinning like a nut*

    Hi. No real news. I am in a weightloss stall. I had a fill on Monday. I am trying to ease into real food since I also had the braces adjusted this week. DH wrecked his car (he's ok). His mother seems to no longer have a use for him since he no longer has a car. That about sums it up.:frown:

    What's new with you?


  3. Hi everyone. I just thought I would pop in to say hi. Thinigs have been strange on the home front.

    Ebony-I hope things turn around soon on the job front.

    Tap & Heartfire-I miss you too. It's just... different. I really feel out of touch with everyone (including myself).


  4. thinking of you all. hope your appt goes well slim. :thumbup:

    Thanks punkster. I think it went ok. It was a little strange. There was only one other person there. I have never been there with that few people. Then they didn't do my fill under the scope. That was a first for me with GBI. Brooke just said that she thinks I have been doing ok with the amount that she has been putting in so she decided to just put that amount in again. I guess we shall see what happens.

    cmexlr8-I hope this is the one for your.


  5. Hi Tap! I miss chatting with you too. It is just hard right now. I have been going to work later than normal and have started the bad habit of staying up later than normal. It really throws me off. I am taking a much needed breather at work right now. I have quite a bit more to do, but I have no time to do it in. I have no insights into what you are going through right now (no experience trying to make that decision), but I will be thining of you. I hope that you are able to make a decision that is right for you.

    Ebony-good luck on the job front!

    Heartfire-I hope your DD gets better soon.

    Hi to everyone else. I had better get up and get back to work. Otherwise, I would sit here and not get finished. Have a great weekend!


  6. Hi everyone. I can't tell you how excited I am to see Tap back! It seems like Tap has been gone for months instead of weeks!

    Glou-I would love to see some pics! I know that you all had a wonderful time. That much had to be a given.

    I am sitting here procrastinating. I am working alone (not normal). All is quiet, but I am not accomplishing anything. I can't say that I have even tried really hard. I had better get because the day will be over before I know it. Have a great day!


  7. I read that the movie will be a straight up action movie...that they're not planning on making it campy like the TV show. Ah well.....

    That was part of what made the show! I liked the campiness (is that even a word?). Oh well, hopefully it won't end up like Bewitched.


  8. Happy Bandiversary to all of us! The Samurai have officially all reached a year! I know that we have all had some struggles, but just think of where we would have been had we not gotten our bands??? Congrats to everyone for every pound that you have fought to lose. Large amounts or small, these are all pounds down instead of pounds gained. I am no longer dreading what the years may bring. Diabeties is no longer the top concern for me. I am now working on my blood pressure. I think they will wean me off my last daily prescription medication with my next PCP appointment. The doctor actually wanted to do it at my last appointment, but my PCP was out of the office and she didn't want to overstep. We shall see how that goes. Who would have thought that I would go from spending hundreds on monthly prescriptions for blood pressure and high blood sugar, to no longer wearing a CPAP and able to climb stairs without feeling like I was about die! We can do this! We are moving forward! This is such an exciting time.

    Great job everyone!

    Simone-I will be praying for your son.


  9. Too funny Glou! I was thinking polka dots on the leg warmers, but same difference!

    Just checking in. Training is going. I am now confused, but what else is new?

    I had better get back in there.

    BBL!


  10. Hi all!

    Kat-I can honestly say that I can always find somthing else to do besides housework. :(

    I am sitting here sipping my coffee thinking that my body still doesn't want to run today. I am going to try it anyway, but I really don't want to.

    Heartfire-I am glad that you had a nice visit with your mom.

    Ebony-I hope you are feeling better today.

    Hi Glou!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!


  11. PJTP...again! :(

    Having a weird couple of days...was home with a general "sick" feeling yesterday. Lightheaded, body aches, no fever, but everything else felt like the flu...

    Today, a little more energy, but started the day with almost NO voice - it's so funny when I, the motormouth, cannot talk. My DH and DD make gentle fun of me and then tell me to Shhh when I try to talk! :thumbup:

    ***Major NSV Alert***

    Just came in from jean-shopping. I am "growing" into my true figure I think...pretty straight up and down, not a big difference between waist and hip, so traditional women's jeans are baggy in the butt area - just where I don't need them to be (at least until I do a few thousand more squats!).

    Ended up buying two pair of "slim fit" (boy that was fun to type) "Cowboy Cut" Wranglers - men's jeans - iin a size 36 x 34 and a 36 x 36 (need the length 'cause I'm tall). My DH kept encouraging me to go smaller...:w00t:

    I tried on several pairs of women's jeans, and the best fit was a size - are you ready for it - 12!:w00t::w00t::w00t:

    I think it's because they have some stretch in them, and they were a 'relaxed fit' which meant there was more room in the seat and thighs.

    I was actually pretty happy with the size 14's (considering I just started wearing 16's a short time ago) but the dedication to my workouts is definately paying off. The pounds aren't moving as fast as I'd like, but the inches are leaving, so that's cool too. :tongue:

    I didn't get the size 12's because they were too short - just not enough length in the legs, even in a "long" inseam model...I'm just tickled to wear a smaller size...:seeya::lol:

    Going to go put them on and try them over my cowboy boots - gotta make sure they fit over the boots, ya know! Next time my DH wants to go line dancing, I've got the perfect pair of jeans to wear! :scared2:

    Ok, sorry that you are sick, but w00t

    on those size 12s!!!!!! That is so freaking awesome Ebony!! Go Ebony, it's your birthday! [insert dance of choice here]


  12. You just described it perfectly! I had been trying to think of what it was like. He doesn't even have to be saying anything bad. Just that tone. grrr! It makes me want to turn around and just take his mouth off. The sad part is, I remember my mouth. I KNOW he is doing what I did. I am in for hell!


  13. I am so jealous! I want to go to TX too. /pouting

    You are right, Dallas will never be the same.

    Your future SIL is struggling to stay alive. :( His mom is going to kill him soon. That "I can do what I want" tone of voice keeps sneaking in when I am telling him to do something. I am going to have to knock him into next year. I have told him that just because he is working on being taller than me doesn't mean that I won't be able to knock him into his place. hmpf Other than that, he is good. How is my future DIL?


  14. why not? is there someone else?
    slim, did something happen to make you leave?

    There was just some ugliness that, although I wasn't really a part of what happened, it has made me look at this site a little differently. I am sure I will still come here. Just not as much. It just isn't feeling the same for me right now...

    I have to come back because I care very much about all of you!


  15. Congrats to you! I am in the same boat. Yesterday was my 1 year. I am proud of where I am, but I know that had I followed the bandster rules all of the time, I would be so much further along. My husband actually thinks I should stop now. I didn't come this far to give up on my band. I think we can do this! Keep up the good work!


  16. PJTP: I will catch with all of you later.

    I had a very, very sad morning. I woke up to find our oldest dog had passed away! Very sad, going home from school at lunch to drop her off for cremation. Trying to figure out how to tell DD since she is off at school and I know that she will be a mess when she finds out - I don't want to ruin her first week!

    BBL!

    How horrible! I am so sorry. I wish I had some way to tell your DD without it upsetting her as much.
