*waves* Hi all... well Box Mountain is slowly diminishing but still a long way to go. I had to go out yesterday and buy contact to cover the pantry shelves because they were all grotty, even after cleaning. It's just basic white, but at least I could put my food away. The pantry is quite literally THREE times the size of my previous one, which was packed up to the gills, so it's been wonderful being able to fit everything in with room to spare. I don't like the kitchen cupboards though - the doors are too narrow and they go back way too far, so hard to get stuff into/out of and easy to lose things in the back. Nevermind though - the kitchen is on the list for remodelling so it's only temporary. It's not at the top of the list though, so it will probably be a year or more before we get to it. I'm loving the size and space of everything else, from the bedroom to the laundry linen closet, it feels like everything has tripled in size :scared2:

And did I mention I have horses over the road? HORSES!!! I won't get over that thrill for a very long time :w00t:

I've not gone anywhere, just running out of time! I move around and place a post or 2 a day is about all, do the same on FB---and thats it!

With work and softball, and kids and grandkids, and hauling wood, and winterizing our house, and the parents houses....we have not slowed down. This weekend, we have decided to be lazy! We are going to a movie, and gonna sleep in. I am so excited it is pathetic!!!

Will find time to check in, it is gonna be harder to get rid of me than you think!!!! LOL

We are going to a movie, and gonna sleep in.

Hey! I'm going to see paranormal activity this weekend w/ some friends. I rarely get to go to the movies, so I'm pretty excited.

And Paranormal activity doesn't even make my list of movies to see....

I agree...missing everyone not here at the moment...:scared2:

I wish we could attract some of the 'veteran' PJTP-ers back, and recruit a few more like minded...maybe over time...

Ebony sorry to hear that Jillian is still putting your stomach through a rough time; push the fluids, and try to relax this weekend.

HORSES!! Whoo hoo. Better than snakes in my opinion!!!

It's a wonderful feeling to have that much room, isn't it? Your kitchen reno will make it perfect, but you can wait and take the time to design just the perfect one now.

Sleep in.....what's that????

I'm in shock.....

I went outside and there was snow. :scared2::scared2:

Snow. It is too early for me to get back into the snow shovelling routine. Not in mid-October! November, yes k. I don't like it, but I acept it, but NOT IN OCTOBER!!!.:wink2::eek::w00t:

Ok you may now resume normal operations.........

Happy Friday!

Hey y'all I am running late for work. Nothing I wanted to wear worked! The clothes I have been wearing are getting baggy (YAY) but the smaller size seems tight----so I tried and tossed out a few things, so now I am short on time!!

Game last night was rescheduled, neither of our teams had enough players to show up. It was an early game, and we had too many people still at work. And one of our guys (along with his wife) had just had their 4th son.....so we thought we would have to forfeit, but they did not have enough either, so we rescheduled with the agreement of the league pres and 2 blues who agreed to work the game. What a pain!

Will be calling g4e this weekend and will update what is happening. I have not heard anything, and I know she should have got her package, so maybe she is out of town or down from testing. They may have already started her radiation. Will let ya know.

Gotta run, see ya later!!!

PJTP...Happy Friday, everyone!

I saw snow last night too, Tap - and I agree, I am SO not ready! :w00t::eek::eek:

"Jillian" and I are still feuding - dinner last night was an exercise in patience, praying and PB'ing...on liquids today...

It's cold, windy and RAW outside...my office buildings' heat isn't working to capacity, and I'm freezing. :wink2:

It's gotta get better, right?

At least tonight will be fun - my local NAACP branch is having their Freedom Fund dinner tonight at Foxwoods Casino - should be fun to see everyone. I don't get to attend meetings much anymore because of my work schedule, and most of them don't know I was banded and have lost all this weight. Will be interesting...

One or two people know - most notably, the family of my daughter's best friend. The mom and one of the daughters have had bypasses, and they've seen me out and about, but unless my "adopted" daughter told them about my band, they don't know what I did to lose the weight. And I've thought about it - if they ask, I'll tell 'em. It might help someone who feels as I once did that they can't find any other way to lose the weight. Maybe I can give someone hope...

One side benefit of Jillian and I not playing well together is that I've lost 3 pounds this week...not exactly the way I wanted to lose it, but I'll take it! Closing in on leaving the 190's behind...yay! :scared2:

(looking around nervously)Hi. Um, my name is um, slim. I figure I have been gone long enough to have to reintroduce myself when I come by. How are you all doing?

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!

YAY on the clothes.

Wish I could get excited about any game...

Please wish G4E my/our sincere best wishes...thanks.

Hi Ebony - not the way to lose weight, though. I really hope Jillian loosens a bit for you.

Enjoy to dinner tonight, and be prepared for the jaws to drop as they see the 'melting Ebony'. It takes courage to decide to tell people, just be prepared for the range of responses from "WOW Tell me about it", to the 'You did what? Don't you know you have ruined your body', etc...

Have a great time - forget work and relax!! HUGS.

PJTP - back again! :scared2:

HI SLIM! :eek::w00t::wink2: *waving wildly, grinning like a nut*

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

What Tap said! :w00t:

YAY on the clothes.

Wish I could get excited about any game...

Please wish G4E my/our sincere best wishes...thanks.

Add me to that - please tell G4E she's iin my prayers and thoughts...

Hi Ebony - not the way to lose weight, though. I really hope Jillian loosens a bit for you.

I agree - we've had a serious talk this morning and she's agreed to cut me a little slack...as long as I behave, that is! :eek:

I actually am really looking forward to it...haven't seen most of these folks for quite a while and I do miss them. We've had our ups and downs (the organization and I) but for the most part, I do like them.

Hoping for a wonderful event - side benefit - the keynote speaker is from my hometown of Detroit! I get to hear something more about "home"...though I understand it's really tough there now with the state of the auto industry...:w00t:

HI SLIM! :thumbdown::w00t: *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?

PJTP...

That totally sucks...what a pissy thing to do to your son!:thumbdown:

What's new with you?

Glad you're back posting on PJTP...we missed ya!

Let's see...

It snowed last night.: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).
