Good MONDAY afternoon Suzanne!

I had a relatively quiet weekend. We had dinner with friends on Saturday and then spent a splendid Sunday tailgating and watching the JETS play an awesome game (they lost, but the game was great).

Today I'm struggling to get my quota of water.

QOD: What are you struggling with today? Feel free to share; we miss you!

Good Afternoon Suzanne and Dee!

QOD - I am struggling with getting all my work done. I have decided to take Wednesday off and go visit my DD's. Wednesday happens to be my ad deadline day - so I am trying to get all of them done as well as my normal Monday and everyday craaaap. My water intake is a bit down too, but I will catch up.

I had a great weekend. We went to dinner with good friends on Friday, Saturday night we stayed in and had a great dinner on our deck. Yesterday was the best we were out on the lake all day and had a delicious picnic complete with ants LOL.

Okay, who's next???

Last 15 months: Dec 2003- Went ot Alaska for Christmas w/ my family, first time in 15 years. Wonderful. January 2004 - DH decided he needed to separate and went looking for a place of his own. I received emails, cards and support from my SS sisters and DH & I went to counseling and started some work. May 2004 - My yearly visit with my Kentucky family and MADDIE! Loved it and LOVE her. Spring 2004 - Exchanged a series of emails with DeeMarie and we learned a lot about each other. Very fun and lovely conversations. Beautiful person, she is. June 2004 - Surrendered my dog to keep my husband. Painful but necessary. Again, lots of support from here. Summer 2004 - Spent living in Alaska. Drove up and down the state and had a killer time. Loved it but was happy when I got home in the fall, then I got homesick for Alaska - lol. September 2004 - Went to NY and met Raeanne and her DH- visit too short and had TOO much fun! The people are so fantastic that we're thinking of moving to that coast in a few years! Scoping weather and property now. DH started 2nd year of law school - only 1 more to go after this. I started back to college to finish a degree I started many years ago. All children in school. Dec 2004 - Had DH's family here for holidays. So stressful, DH blew a gasket and almost left again. Back to counseling...and deal making. Lots better now that family's gone. January - Signed up for another college load; continuing to work toward that piece of paper I want. Becoming aware that time flies when you don't have any. Signed up at WW Core Program. Determined to lose weight and be healthy. Still here, after many years and still checking in really regularly. Planning a trip to east coast in March to scout a place to live when we finally move. KYSusie~ Good to hear from you. Keep on truckin' toward wellness. Back to the laundry and paper I'm supposed to be writing! Check in, everyone!

Hi all! Welcome, Debi! :):) Patti & Dave, CONGRATS on your DGD! How exciting! :) Tikanas, we sell Derby related jewelry and we make rhinestone encrusted sunglasses to custom match the lady's Derby attire. Lot's of fun, and I get to see some spectacular clothes! :) How did the treatment go today? Shoes. Oh, my. I have such a shoe fetish! Unfortunately, my feet are short and wide (kinda like me!! LOL), so most shoes do not look good on me. Doesn't stop me from wandering and drooling in the shoe department though. I tried on a $850 pair of Stuart Weizman (sp) last year (Derby shoes), and as I stood there in them, I wondered just what exactly one would wear with them. Which then brought the thought of what car you'd have to step out with them on (Mercedes? Jag? what?). Would I actually *walk* in them? That would be no, and then I'd hafta hire some hottie to carry me around all day. And then another one to fan me, and yet another hottie to feed me grapes. So, I figured after all of that, the shoes would actually cost me about $110,850. LOL! I do love my shoes! :) Things are the same here--yesterday was MIL's birthday and she was sooooooo sick (insert **much** eyerolling here) that she couldn't get up from the couch to take Rog's cal to her. (Yes, I know I sound heartless, but I have little sympathy for someone with the means and insurance to go to any doctor/hospital in the world, but would rather play the marytr part and sit and whine.) Where's Amy?? Gretchen? Happyto? (I've come to the conclusion that BJ actually did win the lottery and has ran away. On a serious note, I do know that her dad was under the weather for a while, so I hope there is nothing bad with him that's keeping her away.) Zig--*only* if a stapler was involved!!! LMAO! Speaking of chicken (I am *truly* sick for attempting this), I am making chicken cacatorrie (sp) on Sunday. I watch Giada on Everyday Italian on FoodTV, and this just looks so good! (And yes, for inquiring minds, I do have my heavy duty carpet stapler handy, should it be required. That, and the # of the local take-out joint if I screw this up! LOL) Hugs, Maddie

Good Morning. I have caught up on the posts and need to get an address for Jen. I e-mailed her via this site, but have gotten no response. I have her in the b-day exchange and I need to send her a package. NH Suzanne - big HUGS for you. I hope DH snaps out of it. Sounds like you have the best therapy for it all....taking a ride on our favorite horse...Sweet Pea. I have be MIA...sorry. I have had 4 teenagers in the house for the last week and a half. It has been very trying for us as DH and I are not used to kids. It is fun, exhausting and expensive. We have been boating this weekend and my neice got a nasty sunburn. A blister has formed on her back about the size of a quarter. I feel bad, but I witnessed all the sunblock being applied, so I guess it comes with the territory being in florida and all. We have them for three more days so I will post agin later.... two of them just got up, so breakfast duty calls.

hi! Checking in. I'm taking my DD out for her first driving lesson this morning at dawn's early light. Wish me luck. I've been practicing "calm" all night long! DeeMarie: Vegas? I love Vegas! When are you going? LUCKY wishes for you! Tikanas: Glad to hear SB (South Beach) is relatively easy. I have found I'm not having any trouble yet, nor is DD, but DH is asking for Bugles and OJ! He is REALLY having a hard time (carboholic) and has had terrible nightmares every night since cutting out the carbs---I wonder why? Really! If anyone knows anyone else who has experienced this, please let me know what happened after they cleaned their system out---will it get better for him? Only the shadow knows.... I hope you get your appetite back, T. We are all pulling for you. Starting my figurative scupture class at the local college today. I am really challenged in that area, so this ought to be an exercise in teaching for my teacher---lol. Jen: Did you get my email w/ Maddie's addy? I want the roasted cauliflower soup recipe, Raeanne! While I was flying home, I read a good recipe for clam soup - no cream - and we tried it the other night. DH and I liked it a lot. I made a small batch, but tomorrow, I'll make a larger one, then post the recipe. NHSuzanne, once again, the end of the month and I'm thinking heavily about you and your deadlines. Hope they went okay. I bet you are going to ride your heart out and breathe in the great outdoors this weekend! We'll wait to hear of your adventures! Hi to everyone else. Hope Magic Kitty and Patti and Dave are doing okay in FL! Be good to yourself and your bod! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) *** beginning 4th day of South Beach - I'll add a star tomorrow if I get through this BBQ party tonight!

Today I am struggling with lack of daylight and time. Just a month or so ago I could ride at 5:30am, do my chores and get to work on time. Now it's not light enough to ride in the morning and the light at the end of the day is getting shorter and shorter. Ugh...I really dislike this.

I am also struggling with staying on any WOE right now. Everyday I wake up and say to myself "I am going to be good" and then I am not so good. Not horrible just not committed!

Sigh...........

Happy Monday!!

It has been soooo quiet around here.

I struggle with my water quota most days. Last week was a bear at work and I worked late every day and did not go to Curves, which I do enjoy. I am struggling to get my priorities in order :-)

Tonight I am going to relax and will check in more this week.

Take care!!

Donna, I am also cranky when I overwork and don't take time for myself, especially to exercise. This week I started out going to yogilates last night. This morning I went for a walk, tomorrow morning I walk, tomorrow evening I take 1 hour of kickboxing...the rest of the week I walk early in the mornings. As a result, I'm already feeling OK, but for the last week or two I got little exercise and I felt it last night at yogilates....very inflexible. So I was cranky and ate chips when I got home! ooops!

So here's a challenge guys and gals: Get up from the chair and walk around a bit, dance to some music, or lift some weights.

Maybe it's the kickboxing class.......everyone thinks you will kick their butts.......which you will no doubt do if everyone doesn't check in!!

It's crazy here this week. New computers, new system and all the lovely little glitches to work out before it goes smoothly.

Come on people........check in or Dee will kick box your butt!!

Hi all!

Yep--still alive (kinda....I think....) and kicking!

I've missed youse guys sooo much, but between back to back shows and work, I am so far behind I think I'm first.

Thinking about our Allie today; it's hard to believe we've had our angel for 5 years...

I promise I'll write a novel the next time I'm here--

Love and hugs and smootchies!

Where is everyone???!!!

Raeanne, I am still being overworked and am still a tad cranky, OK, probably more than a tad. I am enjoying a lovely glass of wine (or 2) and it is taking the edge off :-) You know I'm bad when Curves sends me a card telling me they miss me! Dee, a I need a good butt kicking!

Suzanne, glad to see you...even though your birthday is not until November I am diligently working on your "unbirthday" gift. Stay tuned!

Maddie!!! Check in again soon....we need details woman!!!
I did not know Allie but I have read about how much all of you loved her and offer ((hugs)).

TGIF tomorrow - yeah!

Check in everyone!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!! Hello out there???? Anybody home????

Happy first day of fall.........yes, the autumnal equinox is upon us.

Donna, enjoy that wine before you get your butt kicked. I need mine kicked too. I don't know what the He// I am waiting for!!

Hummm, I forgot that you had my name for the unbirthday thing. I forgot my birthday is coming up acutally!!

I am happy it's Friday. It's been a very busy week although not stressful which is nice. This morning at work we are all enjoying the site of a cardinal family. There are three fledgling males and two females all at the feeder. So sweet. Gathering up nurishment and strength for what is to come.

It got cold here last night nearly freezing but I still have my outdoor plants in tact.

QOD: What are you doing for the weekend???

Hi Everyone,

Boy, this board is slow lately.

QOD, Tomorrow the girls and I are getting haircuts, tomorrow afternoon I am going shopping with a friend. Sunday I hope to rest. Oh shoot, we have a family chowder Sunday and then a church social Sunday nite. No rest for this weekend.

I need a good butt kicking too. My exercise is medium but my diet stinks.

Maddie, It's good to see ya post. I was thinking of Alli this week too. She was such a sweetheart. I miss her a lot.

Gotta run. Have a great day.

Okay I have 3 calendars at work telling me that tomorrow is the first day of Fall. However, they tell me that today is Native American Day and Rosh Hashanah at sundown. So whatever it is let's make it a good one.

Donna - I think when you use wine medicinally it doesn't count - so you are safe for now.

Suzanne - I had a treat this morning as well, the two baby fox were at my bird feeder scrounging around. They were very frisky on this brisk morning and so cute.

Maddie - what a tease!

I went to NYC on Wednesday and spent the afternoon and evening with my 2 DD's. We had a lot of fun, I wish I had the time to do that more often.

Jen - sounds like you have a full weekend.

QOD - I am hoping for a quick boat ride with some ladies from a shop near us on Saturday afternoon and maybe a hike on Sunday if it doesn't rain. I would welcome a weekend of doing nothing.

SURPRISE!!!

MIA - JOANNE HERE
I got a box in the mail from Marci, but not opening until Tuesday.
Been lurking off and on (more off than on), but will try and get caught up and back on the board. Miss you all.
DD 1st Anniversary was this past Monday - can't believe it's a year already. We are having a "family" dinner tomorrow to celebrate birthday and Anniversary.
I'll check in again on Tuesday.
Have a great weekend

Yea Joanne! I was getting worried, since I mailed the package in August! Hope you have a fun weekend and we'll "see" you on Tuesday.

It's been a hectic first two weeks of school, but I think I am back in school mode. For the most part, the kids are great this year. We have lots of BOYS though. They are not bad but they are loud and rowdy. In the two M-W-F classes, we have 30 boys and 18 girls!
My back feels a little better this week. I am trying not to bend over the kids, but it is impossible in some situations. I think I need to start some exercises to strengthen my back muscles.

DS came home a few weeks ago and it was so nice to see him. DD started her last semester and found a part time job, so I have seen her since school started.

I am going to lunch with a friend today and running errands b4 and after. Other than that, I am looking forward to some quiet time this weekend. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Marci
