Hello Everyone,

Here is my update for the week:

J 269 / C 262 / G 220 (-4 this week)

Well, it's August and it's time to finish my Christmas shopping. While I love all of the holiday decorations and think the malls are beautiful, the malls and pretty much any other store is where I least want to be during the holidays--at least if I'm there to buy anything!

Most of my shopping is done. I start with the after-Christmas-sales in January! As soon as my school room floor is finished being laminated, I will get my list together and probably order most of the rest of my gifts on-line.

I enjoy the holiday season so much more when I all my gifts are purchased--even more if they are wrapped by Thanksgiving (which doesn't usually happen)--then all I have to stress about is getting the Christmas cards and letters sent out! :huggie:

DH and I decided that we will take our kids ( 2 sons and a daughter in law) to Vegas for there gifts for Christmas. It will be fun to go on a family Vacation. I am really looking forward to it! so now the plan is to figure out how to creatively put together there gifts. I then only have to get for my parents and two nieces and then one gift for the gift exchange! so I guess I'm almost done.

"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?...."

Yep Cindy, I hear em.

I was wondering what that noise was - 96 degress outside, dogs panting, grass is dying, the locost are singing.... and then I hear bells - SLEIGH bells.

wow, Christmas is in the air!

I can feel it.

*big sigh*

Here's my weight for this week 239. Down 3 pounds. Going a little slow, but I'm greatful for every pound down and not up! I'm having my first fill on Friday. I'm a little nervous, but I know it will be fine. I've read some posts here about getting too much fill and that is a little scary. But, my doctor will be the one doing it, so it will be fine. Does everyone's doctor do their fills down in radiology with the scope so they can watch as you swallow the barium??? I would think that would be the best and only way to do it so they know you can still swallow comfortably

newbie! wow - it's nice to know i am not a freak! ii will start my christmas shopping by labor day and will be done by halloween. you girls put me to shame! my friends think i am nuts! my goal is 60lbs lost by newyears. it may be a little aggressive so we'll see! i just love the fall season in general! my husband is a Halloween freak so our house looks like a horror movie then i take over and christmas lasts till the first weekend in Jan. longer if he doesn't bitch too much! thanks for the thread!

Funny...Hurry and get your new computer! We miss you and I don't know how many days until Christmas anymore!!!!!!!!!! :cry

I am now 287... Yeah 20 lbs loss!!!

The scale has finally started to move after losing and gaining the same 2 pounds for over a month! I have revised my goals accordingly--NOt to give up, but to be more realistic.

We are having an unseasonably cool weekend here in Virginia. Makes me think of the holidays coming....

I miss FunnyDuddies....I hope her computer is back up and running soon! Has anyone heard from her? Anyone have the Christmas countdown? How many days is it?

MyChevyGirl....an idea for your "giftwrap" of the Vegas trip...well, several ideas. You could give them a poker set so ya'll can "practice." Or, some CD games like blackjack, etc. You could set up a scavenger hunt present, where they open presents that have clues in them, then find them, where the next part of the present is, until at the end, the entire gift is revealed...you can have a lot of fun revealing the "gift"!

How is this for a count down to Christmas counter for everyone

Sherry, great countdown! How do we carry it forward each day? Do we cut and paste it to a new post? It is sooo cute!

Hi, just saw this thread. Love it! I'm almost finished with Christmas gifts also. I make a lot of my gifts to give away. I have cut the wood for this years gifts, now I only have to paint. I work for a police station and this year I am making 130 badges for the tree in our office.
