Hi Snow Angels,

Finally getting some snow. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa just hope it doesn't get to deep. We have the ground covered but that is about it. Yes I get carried away when the snow starts!

Here we are crowding December already. Where did the time go? I do know this it is going to take a miracle to get to my goal. So I am just taking it one day at a time andbe proud of the fact that I am still here plugging away. I just refuse to give up no matter how long it takes. Look at all of you still in there fighting too. Wow we are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in for today and my goals are:
1. Stay on program
2. Drink lots of water
3. Try to exercise
4. Stay out of the kitchen!!!!!!!!

Okay are you ready for today? Then let's hop to it!! One more thing. I am disappointed im me not doing very well on this journey. But I still have days to work on my goal and thta is what I am doing!!!!!!

Let's all do it. We all can you know. One step at a time and one bite at a time. FOCUS!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie:D :D :D

Good Morning Angels,

I knew I liked you Lizzie I like snow too! Wich may be crazy since now we live on a big hill and often can't go many places when it snows and ices. Hey maybe that IS why I like it.


Yesterday a friend and I went to two plays at the local theater group and then out for dinner. It was great fun. I accomplished a lot in the house on Sunday. I am working on going thru the clothes and getting rid of a lot. Mentally I was feeling good but did overeat. I ate soooooooooo much yesterday and I never even felt stuffed. I am blaming the PMS monster for that one and hope to be back to normal{whatever that means} today. I will drink all my water and get my walk in tonight. Didn't sleep much since I took allergy meds in the evening and they always make me a litlle wired but I really needed them.

Saturday my mood plummetted and it took me until today to figure out why. I worked Friday night until 11p.m went to bed about 12:30-1a.m. and then Brielle got up at 4a.m. I guess three hours sleep could be the cause~lol.

I was thinking I didn't exercise last week but two days I raked and bagged leaves for hours and I worked two very busy nights.

Tomorrow we are going to the Christmas Show at Radio Musical Hall. My brother works there and he got free tickets. Now we just have to keep Brielle up past 7pm when the show starts. I think we are nixing the parade on thanksgiving it is supposed to be really cold. We'll see.

Make it a good one everyone!

So Sat and Sun are gone and I am lookin forward to a great Monday. Brielle has her thanksgiving Feast at school which is alwasy cute.

GOOOOD morning Lizzie and Sharon...and other angels out there, who will be in HERE today.

Monday came so soon! That's ok, 'cuz I'm off the next three days so yippee yahooty. I refused to miss my "Holiday" just 'cuz it happens to fall on my regular off day. I miss some for that reason and it's NOT FAIR says Mini Me!:c(

I am disappointed in ME, too, Lizzie.....'cuz I made a lot of choices to continue my past behavior which keeps me stuck....so am re-committing to myself, my goals, my plan...today. I will simplify until it clicks!

Today I will:
1) drink that water...@ least 64 oz
2) eat breakfast (done)
3) plan my meals
4) plan & follow thru w/exercise
5) Journal: food/feelings/facts

That will keep me busy and out of trouble! I have veggies that need my attention....celery etc. that needs to be cut up, squash that needs cookin'...will do that tonite.

Have a wonderful day everyone...a wonderful week! Our LAST one for this month! WOW.....how time do fly!
Love and boo-coos of huggies........
Bren:D
HEY! I made that pumpkin mousse last night and it's deeeee-licious! Honest injun, I didn't eat it all! How come no-one told me how NASTY plain pumkin tasted, anyway?:(

11-25-02, 09:58 AM
Hey Bren,
How do you cook your squash? I just peel mine cut up and then toss into big pan and cook until done and thendivide it up into servings, then freeze it. When I want some butternut squash I toss it into microvven and then add cinnamon, little salt and little sugar. yummers!!!!!!!!!!

Now bren we can't be to disappointed in not accomplishing our goals. Look at all the things that have happened in the past 3 months!!You have to give us credit we are still here and still fighting so going to feel wonderful about that.

Sharon omg look at all the raking and bagging. Geeze that should count for lots of minutes exercising. When I spent 8 hours straight working in my garden I counted 3 hours. That was a lot of work !!! I think I would count at 1/2 the time with raking and bagging!!

Yipeeeeeeeeeee another snow person!! Wow we sure have Snow Angels right!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

Going to go rest my bones. Hey Sharon I bet the show tomorrow will be too cool!! The closest I get a Christmas program or celebration is me singing!! That is kind of scary isn't it!!Hahaha

Okay I am off to watc some news!!

Take care and keep smiling!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Today when I want to eat for no reason or want to eat too much I am going to think of you gals. Hey I should get your pictures and put them on my fridge. My own little support group right in my kitchen. Thinking of my meeting doesn't always work but thinking of what friends would say may just be the key. Thanks for always listening and being there.

Hey angels!
Good Tuesday morning! Yep, Lizzie, I am learning as I go and tho progress is slow I'm not giving up on me.
I concider this to be part of ( major part!) of my support system, like Sharon said!

I just peeped out and we didn't get the freezing stuff that was predicted but it's purty chilly! Hmm....chilly....chili! Yum!

Squash: I toss mine (zuccini/yellow) with other veggies in a roasting pan.....my roasted veggies, or steam or stew it with onions. Pan fried with onions is really good too .I use Pam or a little peanut oil. I've never had the butternut but it sounds good!
I didn't cook it last night. I was wanting a pasta dish. I tossed cooked chicken breast, broccoli and carrots in the pot with my pasta to cook, put some cheddar cheese soup in it and called it dinner. Fast and Nasty....that's my style!
I'll cook the squash and sweet potatoes today. I had some at lunch the other day w/ Mom. The stewed type w/onions....made me want some!

Well, my bed beckons me back to it so I'm gonna give in! I'll be back when real morning comes!

Hi Angels! Its chow hound checking in! Ha! But, its the truth! I feel awful and have the flu, or a cold or whatever so I ate a ton yesterday to maybe help me feel better. Well, that didn't work. Better yet....how do you gain 4 lbs in one day? What is the deal? All week I've weighed in at 164-166 on my scale. This morning it says 170-171? Huh? NO WAY! Well, its OP today and the rest of the week and we'll just assume this is lots of water weight that will go away by days end!

Sharon, I saw the Rockette's Christmas Spectacular Show in Indy on Sunday with my Little Sister and we really enjoyed it. There were some animals in the production and at the end she asked me if they were real. Yup! No doubt about it....you'll have to tell me if they have them in NYC also. Its kind of interesting to have a 13 year old who is unable to distinguish real vs. fake animals due to lack of exposure. This program is soooo good for her. She just loved the show!

Brenda...I love your goals. Ditto them for me today. Lizzie, you've done great! You didn't miss your Dec 31 goal...you just extended it a bit. Me too! Hugs!

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Wow I cannot believe it is morning. I only got up twice during the night which is very unusual. I am so tired this am and I am going back to bed.

I am way toooooooooooooooooooooooooo sleepy to finish this . Catch up after a nap!!I-) I-) I-) I-) :lily:

Blondee49
11-26-02, 10:19 AM
Hey again!
Lizzie, hope you're resting well my friend! I got anther nice nap and got up again at 7:00 to start my day. I've got a list of sorts together.

Janet, I like what you said about "extending" our goal! I am doing the same. I won't be wearing my cute little (well size 14-16 is little to me!) black dress for New Year's eve but I am through beating me up. What is, just IS ,and I'll work with what I have, dust off the excellent materials I have and USE 'em!
I will move my butt and be glad I can!
I have been so blessed this year and am gonna maintain an attitude of gradtitude througout the remainder of it....regardless of what the hunk of metal in the bathroom reports!

There's a Christian song that says "Whose report will you believe", and the group sings back "I will believe the report of the Lord"......and I will do that. I am more than the number on that scale........and yep that sucker has advanced! BUT....the number is not the enemy, food is not the enemy........I have been my own! Who is it that said "we have found the enemy and it is US"?
Well it's time I took full advantage of the wonderful tools at my disposal and overcome *myself*! Hey.....I can "get OVER myself" as the kids say! LOL!

Thanks so much for being here every day, for the tremendous support, friendship, tips, humor, sharing of ideas as well as ups/downs. I feel safer here than I have anywhere in a very long time! Kudo's to you all....and not the edible kind!
Have a great day....I intend to!

OK I don't have pictures of you guys so I thought hey you can be whoever you want to be Faith Hill etc. I can't think at the moment.

Yes Janet they have the reall animals at the end of the show when they do the nativity scene.

Brenda great attitude. Yes we are not a number and gratitude will get us by.

Good Day Snow Angels!

Took me a bit to find the thread...again! Things are weird here, but I'll get through it. Must be something in the air, I just want to eat and eat too! So far, I'm ok, but tomorrow is weigh in, so we'll see!

Hubby left yesterday and won't be back until Wednesday night. WAHHHH!!!! I hate sleeping alone. And you KNOW I heard every single creak and moan in the house! I locked my bedroom door, too! I figured if someone was going to break in, I wanted to hear them come in my room!! :laugh: Yes, I'm a HUGE sissy!!

I've been very tired lately, so I went to my doctor yesterday to get my thyroid rechecked. I already take synthroid, but I didn't know if with the weight loss, if it might have changed. She was very proud of me!! I haven't seen her since April, and I've lost almost 40 pounds since then! She did change my allergy meds, and gave me Flonase. I'm not switching until Thursday, just to make sure they don't make me drowsy.

I'm so tired!!! And my hair is falling out. That could just be stress. Does NOT exercising make you more tired? I'm trying to convince myself that if I exercise, I'll have more energy? I know about the endorphins and such, I just want someone to kick me in the *****!!

Ok, back to the basics. I can still make my goal, and I'm going to try like heck!

Hang in there ladies!! We'll get through this dreaded holiday.

:hug:

Good Afternoon Snow Angels,
Tried to watch Dr. Phil and couldn't quite pay attention. So here I am to finish a post I started this morning. I think it was this morning but seems like a lifetime away!!

Been doing a lot of thinking about ME. Something I don't usually do. I will concentrate on a situation but avoid thinking about me.
Finally came to the conclusion that I am really ok with me. I have learned so much in the past year about me and what I can do and what I can not. I can not for sure (even though I thought I could) relive those 57 years. So deal with them and get on with now. I agree 100% Bren "I have found the enemy and it is me". Learned that finally and now I can face the enemy face to face.

When we started this Trek in June I had all these grandiose ideas of what would happen. Once again reality made it's appearance. So I will not say I am a failure since I have learned so much about me. I do not believe in failure only varying degrees of success. So what have I learned???

I learned that I will lose weigh slowly and steadily. I do not eat out of anger or frustration at the degree that I started this. I did eat out of anger and every emotion that I could not handle for a lot of years. That behavior is 99.9% gone.

I learned that this journey to December was not about weight but a journey to find more of me and less fat. I have learned more about what to eat and what not to eat and to make substitutions that are better than the real thing. I know I have an addiction to food and more specifically to salt and chocolate. I have never said that before and meant it in my life. I have used food to call a life instead of using food to sustain life.

I still have a goal to accomplish before Dec 25th and I will fulfill that goal. I have challenged myself to do 1500 minute exercise challenge to complete by Dec 25th. I have my strategy all mapped out for the last 22 days. As I sit here now I think I did the math wrong so I will have to go change it!! But I will complete that challenge. It is going to be hard to do with my knee and all but I knew that when I made the challenge.

Even after the Snow Angel Trek ends I have plans to continue on with the Snow Angels and keep trekking in smaller goals until I get to the actual WW goal. I plan to do that even if it means going alone but I know you will be with me. None of us are quitters or we wouldn't be here pounding out our hearts and thoughts each day. So Snow Angels will live on for a long time.

So Angels my goals for today are:
1. Stay on program
2. Drink water
3. Complete specific amount of exercise
4. Live each day fully

That is what I expect of me today and will only be concerned about today. So now I need to go adjust my thinking on the WW 1500 execise cahllenge.

JUST DO IT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love and hugs,
Lizzie:rose: :rose: :rose:

1 lb gain this week! Yuk! We're going heavy on exercise for the next few days! I've got a bathing suit to wear in a little over 3 weeks and I'm going to be under 170 not over it. Had the turkey and fixin's on Sat. so Thurs. should be a low damage day. No excuses here.

Have a good wed and thanksgiving everyone.

HI ALL!

Lizzie! Thanks so much for your post. You said so much of what I am dealing with myself! This IS a journey to wholeness and we are farther down the road than when we began. We're collecting facts about ourselves, making changes and moving towards something....not just away from the excess weight. The determination to complete your exercise goals will carry over to the weight loss as well. Say with me: "2003 will be ALL about ME"!
I told Sharon that at work and she agrees.....we need to put ourselves and our recovery at the top of our list of priorities.

Janet...hope you're feeling better today and you don't have the flu. I am a big ol' baby when I'm sick! Luckily I isolate tho, I don't wanna see anyone, talk to anyone etc. so I whine here and to myself!

Stacey! You're doing great love! 80 pounds down is awesome! You worked hard for that and no yummies will be as good as that feels! I get off on salt or sugar kicks, where I feel I MUST have a can of pringles or something sweet...
I know if I would get off the stuff instead of caving when the craving hits, that in a matter of a few weeks my system would be cleansed of the stuff and the cravings would stop....ok Dr. Phil.....what now?

I'm gonna tape his show today....on weight issues. My Mom won't let me watch him at her house. She doesn't like him! I told her to leave my men alone!
I'll go over this afternoon, spend the night. I have my veggies and stuff ready.

Gonna run, put my house in order and get myself lined up for the day. I need more coffee for the task!

Have a wonderful day, a good Thanksgiving........good day to update my gratitude list!

Hello to all our busy angels........AJ, Sandie, Lee, Sharon.....there are more I'm missin'......Happy Holidays to you all.

I'll c-ya tomorrow evening or Friday sometime!
Brenda:D

Morning All,

Well I am definitely a snow angel today we got our first snow.

We had a great timne at the show last night. Saw the tree as they put lights on with the scafolding all around, saw the animated dolls in the windows of Saks FifthAve, Sleeping Beauty the kids favorite, saw the skaters and the studio of NBC's the Today Show.

I did very well yesterday. Just had Low Fat Broccoli Cheese soup for lunch and no breakfast and then ate what I wanted for dinner. I did fine for the day. I posted the broccoli soup on the recipe board if anyone is interested.

We are all doing so well on our journey.

Brenda I know how hard it is to put ourselves first but it is important. Thanks for reminding me.

Shape I can see your determination. That pound will be packing it's bags and outta there in a jiffy!

Hi gotta run outta here and start cooking for tomorrow. Need to make Grandmas jello mold, low fat pumpkin mousse and cookies. OK 2 out of three are low fat.

Talk to you later or tomorrow. Make it a good one!

Hello Snow Angels,

This is Thanksgiving Morning and very early. In fact it is about 12:30 am. I have been working on dinner for the past 6 hours baking pies and all the usual stuff. I just want to stop in and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

I have made my plans carefully and intend to stick to them. All I have to do is get through today. This is only one meal. I can deal with one meal.

Enjoy your day!!

Love and Turkey hugs
Lizzie

Lizzie,

I'm with you! I just got done backing my last pie. I made cookies, pies, deviled eggs...all after having to move about 20 boxes of books! My son was supposed to be here to help, but bailed on me -- again! My husband just got home today and he was very upset to find out I moved those boxes by myself. Such is life...

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone! Please know that you're all important to me and are my blessing!!

:hug: for all of you!

Good Morning,

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!! I gota lot done last night. All I have to do is make the mashed potatoes and set up the antipasto and set the table. Oh yeah and clean a bit but hubby will do that. I had fun last night cooking. I made the pumpkin mousse and whispering I have to say i don't know if I like it. shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone everyone seems to love it. I froze it to see if I would like it any better frozen.

We are not going to the parade too cold. May stop by a neighbors for coffee and bagels. Looking forward to a nice family day with a fire in the fireplace and the kids playing games and reading books with their Grandparents.

I don't how I did yesterday I do know I had mini chocolate donut and low fat mozzarella for dinner. After food shopping I just started cooking and didn't stop so i just picked. Tho not too healthy I don't think I did bad for the day.

I am not going to worry about program today. Usually when I cook I hardly eat since I am so busy. I have a lot of healthy choices that I made so tho I am not counting points I won't eat like I used to. The focus is definitely off just food and I am not eating until I am a stuffed turkey. I can make this food again any day.

Well make it a good one whatever your plan is for today!

11-28-02, 08:25 AM
Hey don't they usually stuff a turkey on thanksgiving? Am I one? I am definitely stuffed up! Boo-hoo! But, I'm feeling sort of better...compared to the beginning of the week.

We're not doing the big meal and all...maybe its a Harry Potter day, or quilting or the day I get my Christmas Cards written. We'll surely get in touch with some relatives today...they're all out of town. So a phone call or two will be the extent of our visiting. This is fine with me, as I just want a day or two of rest.

Yesterday I was offered a promotion at work. That was good news, but personnel couldn't tell me who I'd work for, what I'd do etc. Sort of crazy, but its a crazy world and process. Hopefully, I'll get some info. on this by Monday.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Blondee49
11-28-02, 09:30 PM
Janet....congrats on the promotion....hey you're moving up, somewhere! Hope it's to something you will thoroughly enjoy and the boss will be easy to deal with.

I had a good day at Mom's..started at 5:30. In my world it was time to get up. Then by 11:00 I needed a nap and got one! I had enough sweet potatoes that 2 bites of pecan and pumpkin pie sufficed. If I'd had cool-whip I'd have had a lot more I'm sure so I have to be thankful there was none! LOL!
I brought home my dinner, which I just had and added the turkey to my baggie full I had in the freezer for turkey salad.

NOW.......I will behave until December 25th when I go to Mom's for Christmas.

Tomorrow is a new day, a new phase and I am ready for it.
Have a good evening everyone!!
I'll see ya tomorrow!

Love and huggies.....

Good Morning,

Bren You are doing so well! Glad you had a nice day you deserve it with all you have been through with your health. Hey you deserve it for just being you!

Janet Congrats on your promotion. Hope it is something you love.

Hi Lizzie Did you sleep thru the night last night I know you probably tired enough with all the holiday hullabaloo.

Well I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We managed to have a nice one even though I spent the morning in the hospital with my Mom. They thought she was having a stroke. It turned out she wasn't getting enough oxygen and she had too much carbon dioxide in her blood. So they admitted her and now we have to find out why it happened. My father and sister did make it for dinner and the girls had a nice time which was my main concern. My back finally gave in and I could barely stand by dinner time. I guess carrying Brielle around NYC Tues. night finally caught up with me. It was bothering me a bit during the week but was full blown yesterday. Hopefuly my chiro is in today. Work is definitely out for tonight. Hopefully I can find someone to work for me. If not I'll have to call the boss. Well I am out of here. I have the recliner next to the computer but I can't stay in one position too long.

Oh yeah eatiing was ok yesterday the circumstances helped of course. I'll just have to watch that I don''t do any comfort eating today.

Make it a good one all.

Hello Angels.....Well, I am back. I just got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon. I was having bad cramping on late Tuesday night early Wednesday morning. Tried to get a hold of my doc on Wed. morning, but couldn't. I called the clinic to see if cramping was a side effect of the flu shot, and she NO get in here NOW. 2 hours later, I was in surgery getting my appendix removed. I hate an attack of appendicitis. I was soooo scared with being pregnant and all. They did say there was a risk of miscarriage, and birth defects, etc because of the surgery. At first I thought it may have been a tubal pregnancy, but the baby is in utero, so that is great news! I have to go back on Tuesday to have another ultrasound to see how the baby is coming along after the surgery. I have been doing some extra special praying that the baby will be healthy and well. I just thought I would check in and let you all know I am still here! I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and have a great weekend also! Hugs to you all, AJ

Lizzie B
11-30-02, 02:13 AM
Hi Angels,
Aj I am sure glad to hear you are okay and I just know baby is doing fine. That must have been very upsetting for you having the surgery and all. How awful. Well I want you to know AJ you are in my thoughts and prayers sweetie. I know you had a tough several days. God Bless!!

Hi Sharon,
My gosh girl you have had a time also. You take care of that back sweetie. I know how tought that is dealing with a bad back. Rest and take it easy. You to are in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know how your mom does. Oh yal I didn't like the mousse either.

Hi Bren,
Doesn't sound like you ate very much girl. Have to keep up the energy or the boyz won't sing!!! They have a big foolin coming if they think they will get by with that. Yummmmmmmmmm Sweet potatoes myyyyyyy favorite. I love sweet potatoes with lots of stuff aded to them or just plain. Thank goodness for a new day!!!!!!!!! Glad to see one come!!!!


Hi Janet,
Congrats on the promotion! Like Bren said hope it is something you will love and the new boss will be easy to deal with Hope you did get some rest and relaxation the last couple of days.

Hi Stacey,
Darn girl that was way tooo much for you to move all the books. I hope you didn't do to much and hurt your back. Yep you are very special to me also. You seem to always inspire me to do better and I thank you for that. Yes I am blessed to have all you angels inmy life.


Hope you all are resting up after a very bust couple of days. Take care each and everyone of you. You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!

Love and many hugs,
Lizzie

Good Saturday AM everyone......

Lots of activity here the past few days and some scares too it seems.
AJ.....hope all is well with you honey bunch! Bless your little heart. It's good you got prompt attention! Keep us posted. You're in our thoughts and prayers!

Sharon..you too! I certainly feel for you and I know Lizzie does with all the back problems she has had and still does. Do try to get some rest. Hope you can get to your chiro as well.
I read an article in a prevention piece, that said to ease back pain, apply firm pressure to the point on your ankle between the ligaments? To repeat 5 or more times? Perhaps have someone ELSE do it!
I've had pressure point therapy before and oh it felt soooo good....once the pain subsided! LOL! I have 'em all over my body.
I hope your Mom is doing much better too. I know that had to be very scary for you all.
Thank you for your kind words, my friend! I am doing well and am just so thankful for the gift of a new day!

Lizzie......hiya honey! I cooked my two fresh sweet potatoes and will fix 'em fancy when I cook this weekend. I have a lot of stuff in there I need to put together as in a "balanced meal"! I have my sweet taters, squash, chicken breast and several containers of soup from the freezer. Yeppers....I've had enough the past few days!
I'm getting myself geared to go for another round. Wish I could talk myself into more exercise. I strained my hugging muscles cleaning carpets last weekend! LOL! I NEED those, ya know!
The boyz will be entertaining me from now 'till after Christmas. I didn't think you'd mind if I was a tad greedy. I know you'll be busy for awhile and we can't leave 'em unattended for long.
HEY.....WE shouldn't be unattended!

Janet, hope all is well in your piece of the map! We have 25 days of prep time before the next turkey attack!
You will be ready for him. Whip him into shape. Always reminds me of the song by Devo! Whip it! I want that song! We did a line dance to it.....now I think it's the electric slide? Been so long since I did it, don't know if I still could. My dancin' muscles are all out of whack too!

Stacey......hope you're doing well too. It's a bummer that you had to move all those boxes by yourself and we know how it is having the "help" bail out. Console yourself with the good exercise you got. You were building muscles to beat him better! I have to pretend I'm doing the carpet cleaning at the office for myself (for the exercise) or I get totally twisted and want to hurt people. Like I said, I'm the only one to do any cleaning at all and it gets on my nerves at times. BUT......I make up for it on weekends when I play and do MY stuff for a few hours!

So....it balances out in the end........Right??

I need to pay some bills and uhhh maybe do a few files in my filing cabinet? The year is almost done and that task ISN'T!
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Ladies!!

Thanksgiving was great, didn't overeat until the day after! Go figure!! My very first pumpkin pie was a hit! I'm so relieved. Well, today I stayed on plan and on the low end of my points. I have to get serious to lose these pounds by the end of the year.

Ok, who's with me??? It's time to LOSE--LOSE--LOSE!! No more screwing around, no more binging, no more oversnacking!

I'm ready...I WILL SUCCEED!!

Have a great Sunday!

HIya Stacey!
Yep I'm on with ya and talk about good timing! I got my Dr. Phil book in the mail yesterday...."Life Strategies" so Brenda is ready to get real!
Little Brenda has played around a LOT lately so I'll reign her in a bit and set some ground rules. We're supposed to appreciate dicilpline.....right? I know I love how it feels when I am practicing it and that's not a regular occasion!

Hiya Lee! Good to see ya again! Pop in when ya can and don't play where we can't see you ok?

Hiya Lizzie! It's Dec. 1st already! WOW........how did that happen?I swear I looked at the calendar last week and mine said August! Ok, maybe not last week but close! And here we are....turning another page.
Like the song by what's his face, slips my mind at the moment, but good song. I'll remember HIS name when thinking of something else.

Gonna go check the temp outside and putter awhile. Have a super day everyone!

Bren:D

Good Morning,

Well my back is still kinda bad so I will make this short. Mom is so so I'm going to have to call the dr. since my dad hasn't spoken to the Dr. since Mom's been in the hospital.

We are supposed to go to my in-laws for another Thanksgiving today but i will have to see how I feel as they live about 2hrs away and I don't know if i can sit that long.

Dieting is the out the window for now I will get back on the stick when I feel a bit better.

Bren the book is really good of course it is another thing to actually work on it daily. I don't know where my book is so that tells you how I did with it~LOL.

Hi to everyone. Make it a Good One!
